Happy peasant girl

Chapter 200 Melaleuca Shoes (1)
"Xi girl, did your third brother write a letter? Quickly show me!" Although Mu Shi was illiterate, she still grabbed the envelope.

"Sister-in-law Hui Lan, is this the letter written by San Lang? Did it mention my two tigers?" Sun also asked anxiously.

"Show me the letter!" Lin Yuanshan said as he came out of the room.

Mrs. Mu handed the letter to Linyuanshan. Linyuanshan read it first, and then told a few people that Linqingfei's letter said that everything was fine, and that he would write letters to his family regularly in the future. Everyone else was also fine, and they I found the best boat, the best helmsman, and the expert who often goes out on the sea, so that the family members don't have to worry about it.

Afterwards, Linyuanshan gave Lin Erhu's painting and a few words to their respective families. Although it was really just a few words, Sun and the others finally settled down after half a month of suspension.

Two children of the old Lin's family have gone to sea. Although Ye Shi also saw the safety letters from Lin Qingfei and Lin Qinghe, she still has a lot of worries in her heart. She can't eat or sleep well all day long, and she is getting thinner day by day. .

"Jingxiu, why does my grandma eat so little every day?" Seeing that Ye Shi has no appetite these days, Lin Qingxi cooks in person every day, and cooks all kinds of delicacies in different ways, but Ye Shi eats more and more. Thin, Lin Nian Yu and Lin Nian Shui, the two little guys, have gained a lot of weight.

"Xi'er, grandma is depressed in her heart, and she doesn't have any physical ailments. Although I can use pills to make her healthy, but her energy and spirit have been damaged because of your third brother and fifth brother. I've done everything the doctor can do, and now it's up to her." If Mrs. Ye doesn't think about it, she will continue to lose weight.

"Is there no other way?" After all, Mrs. Ye is getting old, and her body will definitely not be able to bear it in the long run.

"There's only one thing, let her refresh herself, and she doesn't have time to think about your third and fifth brothers. Even if she does, it will only be for a short time." Jing Xiu said.

"Bring up your energy?" Lin Qingxi thought for a while, and felt that what Jing Xiu said was right. If Mrs. Ye had something interesting to do, and this matter would give her less time to think about Lin Qingfei and Lin Qingfei Qing He left home, then her body might gradually get better.

"Xi'er, have you thought of anything?" Seeing that Lin Qingxi's brows were furrowed and then slowly relaxed, Jing Xiu seemed to have an idea.

Lin Qingxi nodded and said: "I thought of an idea, but I don't know if it will work, so I just have to try it now."

"What idea?" Jing Xiu asked with a slight smile.

He found that the closer he was to Linqingxi, the more magical things he could see from her.

"I'll tell you if it's useful, I'll go home first!" Lin Qingxi turned around and ran towards her ancestral house in the west of the village.

An ancient poem said: "The jasper is as tall as a tree, and thousands of green silk ribbons hang down. I don't know who will cut the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors." Outside the wall of the old Linjia ancestral house, several trees are constantly emerging in the spring breeze. Green branches of willow.

Linqingxi gently broke off the thin willow branches, then rubbed them carefully, pulled out the inner branches and left only a layer of skin, and cut the hollow willow skin into small pieces with a sharp knife, and then put it between his lips and blew it .

When Lin Qingxi was doing this, Jing Xiu, Yun Shi, Hai Tong, Hai Lan, Lin Nian Yu, and Lin Nian Shui were all watching, even Ye Shi who came out to bask in the sun was also watching curiously.

"Little aunt, the sound of this willow branch is really nice, teach me, teach me!" Lin Nianyu also picked up the hollow willow bark to blow with great interest, but it couldn't make any sound.

"I didn't expect that the most common willow branch can be turned into a musical instrument in Xi'er's hands, and it can play such a refreshing music. Please teach me too." Jing Xiu said with a smile.

"My lord, Yun Shi also wants to learn!" Yun Shi also blew curiously, but no sound came out.

"Okay, I'll teach you guys!" Lin Qingxi became an enthusiastic little teacher.

Looking at the lively laughter and talking of the children in the yard, Ye's heart was very warm. However, her mind of basking in the sun was quickly attracted by the white cloth on the big wooden boards in the yard.

"Xi girl, what is this that you asked Jasmine and the others to move in this morning?" Mrs. Ye stood up and walked to those wooden boards and asked curiously.

Lin Qingxi asked Yun Shi to take Lin Nian Yu and Lin Nian Shui out to play first, then she walked up to Mrs Ye and said with a smile: "Grandma, didn't I tell you last time to make cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles? These are shoe soles! There is no time to dry them in Xiyuan, so I asked them to move these ancestors to the ancestral house to dry."

"Your layers are all cloth? It's too wasteful!" Seeing that these things that Lin Qingxi called 袼褙 seemed to be made of good cloth.

"Grandmother, this 袼褙 was originally made of rags, old cloth and paste into thick sheets, but I thought it was troublesome, so I asked Jasmine and the others to go to the town to buy more cloth, and wait until 袼Dry them in the sun, and I'll make cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles for you!" The smile on Lin Qingxi's face dazzled Ye Shi's eyes, and also made her mind move.

So, Mrs. Ye asked Linqingxi how to make the 袼褙, and how to make the sole of the thousand-ply sole.

Linqingxi explained everything to Mrs. Ye carefully, and asked Mrs. Ye to find out some unused rags and old cloths at home, and asked Haitong to go to Xiyuan to bring over the unused paste, and then put it on the spot. Teach Mrs. Ye how to "beat the scorpion".

Mrs. Ye has made shoes for the whole family for most of her life, and she has never seen such a thing where paste and rags are used to make soles. Linqingxi taught her seriously, and she also learned very seriously.

Seeing Ye Shi listening to Lin Qingxi's explanation of how to "beat the scorpion" so carefully, Jing Xiu seemed to understand the meaning of what she said to him two days ago. Cloth shoes with layered soles.

After Mrs. Ye made a board of scorpions by himself, the scorpions that were drying in the yard in Linqingxi were already useful, and the Mu family, Qin family and Wu family who had been working in the fields also came back. Surrounded by Lin Qingxi and Ye Shi asking this and that.

"Xi girl, hurry up and teach Grandma how to cut the soles of shoes!" Maybe it was because something distracted her, but Ye's spirit seemed to be better.

"Grandma, I'll teach you after lunch, I'm hungry!" Lin Qingxi said, rubbing her stomach deliberately.

"Oh, look at me, I'm so foolish. I was so busy learning how to beat you that I forgot to cook. Huilan, you guys have been busy all morning. Take a break first. I'll cook today's meal." Saying that, Mrs. Ye quickly washed her hands, turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.

Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Wu just wanted to say to do it by themselves, but Lin Qingxi quickly stopped them, and gave them a wink, and then said loudly to Mrs. Ye who had already arrived in the kitchen: "Grandma, girl Xi is here to help you." You light the fire."
