"Sister, what's the matter?" Qiduo walked towards Erxia with a smile.

"It's a little thing." Erxia approached her with a small green cloth bundle in her hand.

She handed the small bundle to Qiduo, and said in a gentle voice, "Duo, I took some time to make a pair of shoes for Aunt Shen, and I don't know if it suits her. You can take it and let her try it. If you don't like it, you can bring it back. Redo."

"Sister, why do you think of making shoes for your aunt?" Qiduo asked with a smile.

And opened the package, it is a pair of purple satin shoes embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers.

The workmanship is exquisite, the sole is fine and fine, the butterfly spreads its wings, and the flowers are gorgeous and vivid.

"It's so beautiful, eldest sister, did the second sister embroider these flowers?" Qiduo asked with a smile on her face, looking at the handicraft-like shoes, she really loved and envied her, thinking that it would be great if she could also have this handicraft.

Erxia pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "I embroidered it myself. Seeing that Ju was very tired, I didn't let her do it. Do you embroider poorly, Duo?"

She tensed up again.

Qiduo was surprised, she always thought that Liuju's flowers were the best in embroidery, but she didn't expect her elder sister to be as good at embroidery.

Now it seems that among the three sisters, only my hands are the most clumsy, sewing clothes is about the same, doing things like shoe embroidery, hmph, I'd better save my next life to be a daughter of a daughter, and then learn.

My heart felt sour.

But Qiduo is more happy. Seeing the ingenuity of her sisters, she is also very happy in her heart, which is no different from her own.

She smiled and hugged Erxia's arm, "Sister, of course not, the embroidery is so good, these shoes are well made, and the flowers are beautifully embroidered, Auntie must like them very much. By the way, I have been so busy recently, what are these shoes?" When did you do it?"

I'm a little confused. Recently, everyone in the family wakes up before dawn and stays busy until night falls. Where does the eldest sister have time to make shoes?

Er Xia said softly, "I get up to do it after you and Ju fall asleep every night. I'm afraid I'll disturb you."

"Elder Sister, this is so tiring, it's not too late to do it when you have time." Qi Duo annoyed, but at the same time felt sorry for her suffering.

"When Aunt Shen came to our house for dinner last time, she casually said that the shoes I made were passable. It happened that Aunt Shen and Master Shen had helped our family a lot, so I rushed to make them." Erxia explained the reason.

Qiduo pursed her lips.

Suddenly she thought of Shen Nan's purse, the child disliked the purse he bought for being dishonest, and insisted on embroidering one by himself, which is really embarrassing.

Looking at the lifelike flowers and butterflies on the embroidered shoes, Qiduo hooked her lips, and there it is, hehe!
The eldest sister and the second sister are so dexterous, so I have to ask them to do it for me.

So Yang Erxia, who was smiling, helped embroider a purse when she was free.

Erxia was honest, didn't ask any questions, and just nodded in agreement.

"Sister, you are so kind." Qiduo went to Shen's house with her shoes after she acted like a baby to Erxia.

Erxia pursed her lips and watched Qiduo leave with a smile, then went to sort the lotus root.

Liuju asked, "Sister, what do you want to do? Look at how happy she is, as if she has won a treasure."

"Let me embroider a purse for her." Er Xia replied with a smile.

"Embroider a purse?" Liuju rolled her beautiful big eyes, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on her face, and said in a low voice, "Sister, don't help her embroider."

"Why don't you help? Don't say that Duo can't do it herself. She is busy every day. Even if she can, I'm the eldest sister. Why don't I embroider a purse for her? You girl, how can you treat my sister like this?" Er Xia Said sternly, the elder sister's demeanor stands out.

Liuju looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she whispered to Erxia, "Sister, you misunderstood me, listen to me, this purse should be sent by Duoxiu to send Shen Nan. You Say, how can you embroider for her, can you?"

After Erxia was stunned for a while, she bent her eyes and smiled.

Nodding Liuju's forehead, she pretended to curse, "You girl, you're shameless, you're only a little older, and you have these twisted intestines. No matter who you send it to, it's all the same."

"How can it be the same, you know, Duo bought a purse for Shen Nan in the county the other day, but he didn't want it." Liuju argued with a pout.

Erxia listened to the lips pursing music, and then she said angrily, "Okay, don't say such things, Duo is still young, where are you going, let's work."

"So, sister, don't help Duo embroider, let her embroider with her own hands, you know." Liuju urged.

"Okay." Erxia nodded.

Only then did Liuju smile wickedly and go to work.

She wanted to wait for Qiduo to beg her, and make fun of her and make fun of her.

Although Liuju is only one year older than Qiduo, but in this age, there are people who are married at this age, and they are ignorant of the relationship between men and women.

It is because of ignorance that I am particularly curious and interested.

Qiduo didn't know that her second sister was plotting against her behind her back, so she took her shoes into the small courtyard of Shen's family.

"Miss Seven is here, there are guests at home, Madam is talking with them." Aunt Li said softly to Qi Duo.

"Oh, that's it. Aunt Li, please give this pair of shoes to my aunt. My eldest sister helped her make them, so I don't know if they fit..." Qiduo handed the shoes to Aunt Li, and prepared to go leave.

It's just that before she finished speaking, Zheng Wanru came out of the flower hall and called softly, "Qiduo is here, come and talk quickly."

"Miss Qi, give it to Madam yourself." Aunt Li smiled and handed the shoes back to Qiduo.

Qiduo nodded with a smile, took her shoes and walked towards the flower hall.

Mrs. Li went to make tea for Qiduo.

"Auntie, are you busy?" Qi Duo asked Zheng Wanru with a smile.

"Not busy, Mrs. Kang, my aunt's good friend, is here, not an outsider, come in and talk." Zheng Wanru smiled and put her arms around Qiduo's shoulders, and led her into the flower hall.

Sitting in the flower hall was a woman who was nearly forty years old, dressed in emerald blue beige, with a golden hairpin inserted obliquely in her bun, clean and tidy, without too many accessories.

Although his appearance is ordinary, he has kind eyebrows and kind eyes. At first glance, he looks very kind and easy to get along with.

Seeing Zheng Wanru bring Qiduo in, the woman immediately stood up, looked at Qiduo and smiled.

"Hello Mrs. Kang." Qiduo stepped forward to greet her.

"Hey, Miss." Mrs. Kang also responded with a smile.

It's just that I don't know Qiduo's identity, and I don't know how to call it better.

"Mrs. Kang, this is my niece, Qiduo." Zheng Wanru introduced Qiduo with a smile.

"Hi Miss Seven." Mrs. Kang immediately changed her address again.

Seeing that Mrs. Kang is very respectful to Zheng Wanru, Qiduo can see that the status of the two is not equal, and Mrs. Kang's status is lower.

But she is not used to being called Miss, so she smiled and waved her hands, "Mrs. Kang, you should call me Qiduo. I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation with auntie."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just sit and go." Mrs. Kang replied politely.

Qiduo smiled at her, then looked at Zheng Wanru, and handed the shoes to her, "Auntie, these are the shoes that the elder sister made for you, I don't know if they fit, you have to try them when you have time. If there is something wrong, the elder sister said I'll help you do it again."

"Ah, hehe, I said it casually last time, and Erxia still remembers it in my heart." Zheng Wanru was slightly surprised, took the burden with a smile, and unfolded it.

Looking at the handicraft-like shoes, not only Zheng Wanru praised her, but even Mrs. Kang's eyes lit up.

"Which lady made these shoes?" Mrs. Kang asked.

"Mrs. Kang, my eldest sister did it." Qi Duo replied with a smile.

"You're such an ingenious girl. I don't want to wear these shoes. They're really well done. The girl is very skillful." Mrs. Kang praised again.

Zheng Wanru said to Mrs. Kang with a smile while comparing the size of her paddle shoes, "Mrs. Kang, you don't know something. Sister Qiduo is not only ingenious, but also has a cute personality and looks like a fairy. There is no other girl who is so outstanding."

Mrs. Kang's eyes were brighter, and an inexplicable light jumped a few times.

She looked at Qiduo, then pursed her lips, swallowed some words temporarily, and only followed behind to praise.

"Qiduo, thank Erxia for me when I go back, and say that I like shoes very much, which has made her tired. Your family is really busy these days, so it's hard for her to find time to help me make shoes." Zheng Wanru was a little moved.

A pair of shoes is not worth much, but it is a heavy heart.

She helped others, and never felt that there was anything, but if others gave her a little something, they would always remember it in their hearts.

"Auntie, you are being polite again." Qiduo slightly annoyed.

Zheng Wanru smiled, and when Qiduo was about to get up to leave, she asked immediately, "Qiduo, when will Luhuapo start reclamation, we can discuss which crops to prepare, more than 500 mu, if you don't want to delay the spring plowing, you need to invite a lot of people Come to help. Has this manpower issue been resolved?"

These questions are exactly what Qiduo and his family are currently planning.

Asked to the point.

Seeing her asking, Qiduo didn't hide anything, and said, "Auntie, our family has discussed it. It's a hillside, and it's the first year of planting. We plan to plant some drought-resistant and fertile crops. In addition to crops, I also want to Plant some trees like peach, apricot and mulberry, but I don’t know where to buy these saplings.”

Due to the inconvenient transportation, Qiduo dare not plant all the fruit trees for the time being.

Zheng Wanru nodded, "Qiduo, this idea is successful, how many varieties can be grown, we can see which crops are most suitable for growing in this kind of soil, and we can grow more in the coming year. It's just that I don't know where these saplings are, but , don’t worry, I’ll ask your uncle later and ask him to find out for you.”

"Well, okay." Qiduo agreed, without being polite.

"Mrs. Shen, Miss Seven, Hulin Town is rich in wood. I heard people say that there are all kinds of saplings there, but it's a little far away. Otherwise, you can go and have a look." Mrs. Kang said softly.

Qiduo hurriedly said hello.

Tang Hu is familiar with Hu Linzhen, so he can ask him to find out, and solve a problem invisibly.

Later, Zheng Wanru took the initiative to tell Qiduo that her day laborers were paid twenty Wen a day, not including food and lodging.

He also said that if Qiduo's family is short of manpower, she will help to contact them at that time.
She asked Mr. Huang about buying lotus root again, and told Qiduo to do a good job in this business, which would definitely be helpful for future business.

Seven positive colors say yes.

After saying a few more words, Qiduo bid farewell to Zheng Wanru and Mrs. Kang, and went to Patriarch Tan's house.

As soon as Qiduo left, Mrs. Kang looked at Zheng Wanru, and said hesitantly, "Mrs. Shen, I have something I want to ask, but I'm afraid it will be too abrupt."
