Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 15 Naughty Youngest Sister [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"Hehe... my third brother made the sandals for me." Upon hearing this, the youngest sister quickly stopped chasing the puppy, and stretched out her little hand to point to the position of her feet in the southeast of the backyard.

in that position.

Liu Qingsong was cutting the tire with scissors, while Liu Chunhua and Xiao Nuomi were helping by using a file to remove the burrs around the tire.

Liu Lijuan was stunned when she saw this scene.

After coming to his senses, he frowned and walked over: "Qingsong, where did you get this tire skin? When did you learn how to make sandals? And..."

After asking this, Liu Lijuan suddenly stopped asking any further questions.

As for the reason, it turned out that he was glared back by his eldest sister Liu Chunhua.

After all, her elder sister is still alive, and it would be somewhat unacceptable to interrogate Liu Qingsong like a criminal.

The atmosphere became awkward at this moment.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong spoke up to resolve the embarrassment: "Second sister, I made the tire skin from the pig trough in the pig pen. It's useless to leave it there, so I used it to make sandals."

This was the argument he had thought of long ago.

In order to avoid any loopholes.

He even specially hid the pig trough in the garbage dump of all worlds.

Liu Lijuan naturally didn't know this inside story. Of course, she also believed Liu Qingsong unconditionally. After all, there really was a pig trough made of used tires in the pigpen.

Seeing that it was getting dark, she quickly finished the food in the bowl in a few bites, then ran to the main room, took out a kerosene lamp, lit it and placed it on the bench next to Liu Qingsong.

At this time, Liu Qingsong was using tire skin to make sandals for Liu Chunhua. The soles were made of super thick tire skin with steel wire and patterns. Because scissors could not cut it, Liu Qingsong used a broken knife taken from the Wanjie garbage dump to cut it.

The broken knife looked somewhat similar to a hatchet, and it was night time, so Liu Lijuan and Liu Chunhua did not doubt it, nor did they doubt the sharpness of the broken knife.

I thought used tire skins were easy to cut.

The outer layer of the tire with steel wire was cut into the shape of the sole.

Liu Qingsong began to use the soft leather inside tires to make shoe uppers and shoelaces.

This is a technical job, and since there are no professional tools, Liu Qingsong can only make do with what he has.

After the production is completed, what remains is to combine the sole with the upper and shoelaces.

Originally, Liu Qingsong wanted to go to the Wanjie garbage dump to find some used rivets to join the parts together, which would be quick and efficient. But now his family is around him and he has no way to go to the Wanjie garbage dump, so he has to use the strong and durable hemp thread at home to sew.

However, when stitching, you have to punch holes in the tire skin, otherwise an ordinary needle will not be able to pass through.

This method was proposed by Liu Chunhua, and of course, it is also very useful.

In just half an hour, a pair of "rough sandals" made of tire leather was made.

After trying it on, Liu Chunhua picked up a file and started filing the places where her feet hurt, then tried it on again and filed it again.

This process repeated itself for another half an hour.

A pair of flat sandals that fit well were finally made.

After Liu Chunhua walked around the backyard a few times with satisfaction, she said to Liu Qingsong happily, "These shoes made of tire leather are really good. I'll ask your brother-in-law to come over and make a pair for me."

"That's fine." Liu Qingsong nodded with a smile.

"Make a pair for me too." Liu Lijuan on the side couldn't help but say.

It's not that she wants to get a bargain, but it would have been very expensive to buy a pair of sandals that fit her feet at the supply and marketing cooperative seven or eight years ago!
If I remember correctly, adult sandals cost at least a dollar.

Even children's sandals cost about one dollar.

And now that Liu Qingsong can make sandals, why wouldn’t she want a pair?
In this way, you can save a lot of money.

Of course, the most important point.

These shoes made of tire leather look pretty good. Except for the rough workmanship, everything else is fine in her opinion.

"No problem! Everyone has one." Guessing what the second sister was thinking, Liu Qingsong nodded and agreed: "But we can't make it now, I have to send my eldest sister home."

"I want to see my elder sister off, too." The youngest sister raised her hand.

"And I, I will send Mama back too!" Little Nuomi echoed in a baby voice.

"Okay! Okay! Take me back." Liu Chunhua smiled and agreed. After saying goodbye to Liu Lijuan, she carried the packed spicy fish and walked towards the backyard gate. Liu Qingsong followed behind with Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei.

The group walked out of the backyard gate.

Without stopping, he walked straight onto the winding mountain path.

There were all kinds of thorny vines and various unknown trees on both sides of the mountain path. Under the moonlight, their shadows looked a bit creepy.

But Liu Qingsong was not afraid at all. He raised his hand and swung the broken knife to cut off the thorns blocking the road. Then he casually asked Liu Chunhua who was walking beside him: "Sister, is my brother-in-law still a blacksmith?"

My eldest brother-in-law is named Wang Kuiwu, and he is a blacksmith in the yellow croaker production team.

But at this stage he should still be an apprentice.

That's why Liu Qingsong asked this question.

Ask my brother-in-law if he has completed his apprenticeship.

"He hasn't even finished his apprenticeship yet!" Liu Chunhua replied helplessly, "I asked him to work on his own, but your brother-in-law didn't want to, saying that the master still had a lot to teach him."

"Really?" Liu Qingsong smiled and was about to give his elder sister a suggestion when there was suddenly movement in the bushes ahead.

"Who?" Liu Qingsong became alert.

Liu Chunhua also picked up stones on the ground to protect herself.

Seeing this, Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei followed suit and picked up pebbles and aimed them towards the bushes.

But surprisingly, there was no more movement in the bushes.

"It must have been a wild beast passing by just now." Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Chunhua also felt relieved.

This was actually the reason why she did not refuse Liu Qingsong's offer, because the area around Wild Boar Ridge was too unsafe. If one walked alone at night, one could easily be attacked by wild beasts.

"Let's go!" Liu Chunhua threw away the stone in her hand.

"Well, it's important to hurry on the road." Liu Qingsong nodded.

Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei looked at each other.

He playfully threw the pebbles in his hand into the bushes.

Seeing that there was no "movement", the two of them felt relieved and took Liu Chunhua's hand, and continued to skip and jump towards the mountain path ahead.

The group of four walked away, and suddenly a bald old man with bared teeth emerged from the bushes.

This old man was none other than Liu Delei, who was also fishing by the river during the day.

The reason why Liu Delei hid in the bushes was obviously because he didn't want Liu Qingsong, Liu Chunhua, Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei to see him.

After all, his original intention of coming to Wild Boar Ridge was to steal wild croaker from Liu Qingsong's house. If he was caught, he would have no explanation in the middle of the night.

However, even if he had not been discovered by Liu Qingsong and the others, Liu Delei was not feeling well at the moment.

Why do you say this way!
It turned out that the pebbles thrown by Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei just now hit Liu Delei.

The pebble thrown by the youngest sister hit Liu Delei directly on his right eye.

Although there was no bleeding, his right eye was so red and swollen that he could hardly open it.

This is why Liu Delei is baring his teeth.

Because it hurts so much.

Seeing that Liu Qingsong, Liu Chunhua, Xiao Nuomi, and Yaomei had disappeared on the winding mountain road, Liu Delei gritted his teeth and continued walking towards the Wild Boar Ridge ahead while cursing.

Follow his ideas.

If he doesn't steal all the wild carp caught by Liu Qingsong today, he won't be named Liu, and his nickname of Three Hands will be in vain.
