Chapter 14
Early the next morning, just as An Xiaojiu took Lin'er and Tiantian to have breakfast, she saw Cuihua coming. Then she remembered what they said yesterday, that they were going to try making slippers today, and immediately greeted her.

"Sister Cuihua, have you eaten breakfast so early?" An Xiaojiu smiled and opened her broken door.

"I don't have anything to do when I'm not at home. I'm idle and I'm thinking about it. I'd better come earlier. Lan girl, what are you doing hiding behind? Come out quickly." Cuihua walked in with a smile, walked a few steps and turned around to see the empty space behind her. , exclaimed.

"Lan'er is here too, where is it?" An Xiaojiu also looked behind, and sure enough, she saw Lan'er sticking out her small head to look at them, An Xiaojiu walked over and pulled Lan'er in and said "Why don't you come in, Lin'er and Tiantian are playing with Xiaobai in the room?"

Feeling that the little hands in her hands were trembling a little, and she didn't speak, An Xiaojiu really wanted to vomit blood. What kind of person was she before? Lan'er was so scared that she had to hide every time she saw her.

When Lan'er heard Lin'er playing in the room, she raised her head to look at An Xiaojiu, and softly called "Aunt Jiu~~"

Tsk tsk, An Xiaojiu was elated when she heard it, and her Tiantian will be like this in the future, it's so cute.

"Hey~" An Xiaojiu replied with a smile.

"This girl, why are you so shy?" Seeing An Xiaojiu dragging Lan'er in, Cuihua smiled, and the three of them entered the room together.

In the room, Lin'er was looking at Xiaobai's wound. An Xiaojiu gave Xiaobai another herbal medicine when she got up this morning. The wound is still healing. It will take a few days for new flesh to grow.

"Ah, where does this dog come from?" As soon as Cuihua entered, she saw a white lump in front of Lin'er, and when she got closer, it was not a little white dog.

"Yesterday, Lin'er picked it up, and said she liked it after seeing it, so she raised it." An Xiaojiu said, if you didn't look carefully, you really wouldn't think Xiaobai was a wolf, maybe it was not obvious because he was still young, An Xiaojiu didn't say anything , It doesn't matter if it's a dog, or it will scare them.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Lan'er walked up and squatted next to Lin'er, curiously.

"I'm checking if Xiaobai's injury is healed," Lin'er said immediately when she saw Lan'er coming, her eyes lit up.

"Sister Cuihua, then I'll get the tools and we'll go up the mountain to find materials later," An Xiaojiu said to Cuihua with a smile.

"Hey, okay, I'll go with you." Cuihua followed, walked a few steps, turned around and said to Lan'er, "Girl Lan, later mother will go to the mountain with your ninth aunt, and you will play with Lin'er here, you know?"

"Okay," Lan'er replied with a smile, and continued to watch Lin'er touch Xiaobai.

An Xiaojiu and Cuihua went to the sundries room and got two saws and a jug made of bamboo, filled it with water, put on bamboo baskets and walked up the mountain.

They took the main road Cuihua led the way. She is not familiar with this road. Cuihua said that there are many trees that are usually cut down on this road. They only need branches but not trunks. Sure enough, after walking for a while, they gradually saw some dead branches. , Going forward, you will slowly see some larger tree trunks.

"Xiaojiu, what do you think of these?" Cuihua turned around and asked. They chatted a lot along the way, and later found that the two of them had a lot in common. Cuihua asked An Xiaojiu to call her name, and she also directly It's called Xiao Jiu, so it's a lot more intimate.

"These are a bit small. Let's look for ones whose trunks are about the size of a foot." An Xiaojiu looked at them, and they were only as big as a child's foot.

"Then let's look for it again." Cuihua slowly searched around, and when she saw one, she gestured with her foot, shook her head and continued to look for the next one.

An Xiaojiu sawed a few small ones, and they can try to make a few small pairs to see if they can be sold.

"Ah, Xiaojiu, come here, here it is" Cuihua shouted happily.

"Hey, come and pull." Picking up a few pieces of wood and putting them into the basket on the back, An Xiaojiu walked over quickly, walked over and took a look, isn't it, this one is as big as the sole of a foot.

"Sister Cuihua, let's go back and try according to a few paragraphs first." An Xiaojiu took a saw and began to do so.

"Okay." Cuihua nodded, and imitated An Xiaojiu's example and began to argue in a decent manner.

After a while, I got a few pieces, An Xiaojiu wiped the sweat off her brow, "Cuihua, so much is fine, let's make a few pairs first and try it out."

"Hey, okay"

The two of them picked up the good wood and walked back. She has a lot of peach pulp in her space. As for the rags, there are still leftovers from what they made last time, which is enough for them to make.

When the two arrived home, Lin'er, Lan'er and Tiantian were all playing in the yard.

The two men poured out all the wood in the back basket, took two small stools and sat in the yard and slowly sawed it into pieces.

"Cuihua, Brother Changchun is going to polish it now, let's draw a rough template and let Brother Changchun finish the mold and we can continue." After sawing the wood into pieces, An Xiaojiu said.

"Okay, but how do we draw?" How do we draw when there is nothing?Cuihua asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll get some charcoal." An Xiaojiu went to the kitchen, they were all burning firewood, so there was a lot of charcoal, so she took two pieces and walked out, gave one piece to Cuihua, and began to teach Cuihua how to draw mold.

He took off his shoes, revealing his little white feet, stepped on the wooden board and traced the size of his own feet, "It's just like making shoes, but the slippers are a little bigger than your feet so they don't hurt."

"I'll try." Cuihua nodded, took off her cloth shoes and began to draw.

There are three small black dots on each shoe mold, which need to be drilled, and the upper part is smaller and the lower part is larger. Slowly explain these details to Cuihua one by one.

One morning passed like this, the templates were all drawn, and a few pairs of children's sizes were drawn. I drew a pair according to Laner's drawing, and there were two boards left for Cuihua to bring back to Brother Changchun to make a pair. It was time for her to make lunch when they got home.

"Lin'er, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Holding charcoal in his hand, his whole body is now dark, why?Because she sweated occasionally, she just wiped it off like that.

"I listen to mother." Lin'er secretly smiled, mother is so dark.

"Niangniang~heihei~~" Sitting beside Tiantian teasing Xiaobai, An Xiaojiu realized that maybe Tiantian really fell in love with Xiaobai's tail, and she held on to Xiaobai's tail every day and wouldn't let go.

"Uh, mother, go wash up." An Xiaojiu was a little embarrassed by Tiantian's words, why did she say it so bluntly.

She went into the kitchen and scooped up a ladle of water to wash it. After a while, the water became completely black. Forget about her clothes. She didn’t have to change her clothes. She had to wear them and go to the river to take a bath at night.

After hastily eating lunch, she cut the rags one by one, Cuihua's side was ready too, when Cuihua poured out the mold, An Xiaojiu really wanted to praise her, it's so beautiful, it's perfectly done Out of the mold of slippers, and the surface is smooth.

"Cuihua, Brother Changchun is really good," An Xiaojiu couldn't help but boast.

"Hey, Changchun also relies on this craft to make a living." Cuihua was naturally happy when she heard An Xiaojiu boasting about her husband, and said with a smile.

"Then let's start." An Xiaojiu nodded, and took out the cloth strips that she had cut before, and she specially braided the strips into braids for the sake of appearance.

"Ah, what are these?" Cuihua looked at what An Xiaojiu took out, there were a lot of braids, and another pile of short braids.

"This is the straps on both sides, and this is the small strap on the front." An Xiaojiu pointed to the shoes on her feet, "I'll make it for you first."

Cuihua nodded, An Xiaojiu made it skillfully, and came out after finishing a slipper. Looking at it this way, it was just clogs.

"I'll give it a try." Cuihua followed An Xiaojiu's instructions and slowly made one, even though it took a long time.

Peach pulp is needed to do these well, "Cuihua, I'll go to the kitchen to get something"

"Hey, go get it" Cuihua is working hard at this moment, without even looking at An Xiaojiu, she concentrates on making slippers.

An Xiaojiu nodded, went to the kitchen and thought about it, then entered the space. The space is much better now than it was at the beginning, and has everything. Looking at the old and tall peach tree in front of her, An Xiaojiu climbed in twos and threes. up.
