The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 249 Beating My Sister (1)
"Ha ha! Thank you, Mr.!" With a smirk, Su Xiazhi went straight to the burden again, and after untiing the strong knot, the burden skin was spread out on the table, revealing a thick pile of cloth inside.

"So many?!" Min Qinglan exclaimed again.

"This is yours." Pulled out a piece of black and blue brocade from the inside and handed it to Gao Yue: "Let your mother make it for you, my sister-in-law doesn't know how to do needlework. Make a new dress and wear it to accompany your scholar brother to Beijing for the exam." !"

"Thank you sister-in-law!" Gao Yue gestured with the cloth on his body, grinning from ear to ear, then turned his head and ran out: "I'll let my mother see it first!"

"Go, there's nothing else going on here, you don't have to come here for a while." Su Xiazhi said with a smile.

"That's impossible, I'll come to eat later!" Gao Yue said without turning his head when he ran to the gate of the courtyard in a blink of an eye.

"Food!" Su Xiazhi scolded with a smile.

"Auntie, these flowers are so beautiful." Jiaojiao, who was only a little taller than the table, stretched out her small hands on her tiptoes to touch the small flower cloth on the top, looking a little strenuous.

Su Xiazhi took off the top two pieces of cloth and showed them to her: "Which piece does Jiaojiao think looks good?"

Look at this, then look at that, Jiaojiao's eyes showed a tangled expression, and finally she whispered: "They all look good..."

"Then it's all Jiaojiao's!" Su Xiazhi stuffed two pieces of fabric that were originally bought for her into the little girl's arms: "You have to ask your mother to make it for you, my aunt is clumsy."

As she said that, she looked up at Min Qinglan and said, "The rest of the fabrics belong to the three of you. We are looking forward to the festival, so we need to be fresh!"

Walking to the table, Min Qinglan reached out to touch the brightly colored fabrics, her expression dazed for a while, and she said softly: "There are so many...there are too many..."

"Actually, I have a lot of clothes, just..."

For some reason, Min Qinglan thought of saying this, and looked at Su Xiazhi absent-mindedly. What if there were more clothes in the past? Now, Zhou's house has been ransacked, so where can she find her old things?

"Don't think about the past anymore. If you don't have it, it's gone." Su Xiazhi re-tied the bag and handed it to Min Qinglan: "How tiring is it to keep thinking about the past? We have to look forward..."

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, when the last batch of dried noodles was sent away, Su Xiazhi gave a holiday to the women who had been busy for a long time in the workshop.

"26 come to my house to eat pig-killing dishes! Anyone who comes here is good!" Su Xiazhi said to them when they were about to rest.

"Come here!" The scholar's family thought carefully, knowing that there are many places to spend money during the New Year's Eve, and had already paid everyone's wages in advance. Aunt Su responded loudly while touching the bulging purse in her waist with a smile on her face.

"I won't come." The daughter-in-law of Uncle Shi's family was still a little nervous when she saw Su Xiazhi: "My mother-in-law is very hard to take care of grandma. I come out to work, and she does all the housework by herself. I still Help your mother-in-law clean up at home, it's time for the new year."

She spoke in a low voice, with reluctance in her tone.

She came late to the number of people in the workshop, and she was not from Shanxia Village. She thought it would be difficult to get along with the other women, but she didn't expect them to throw temper tantrums. Opened noodle workshop!

The work here is really tiring, but after getting tired, it becomes a habit.The boss treated them well, they had enough food and drink, and even the mother-in-law said that she looked plumper than before.

Second Sister Lu likes to be with them, and now she is not short of words, but she has lost a chance to join in the fun, which makes her feel a little regretful.

"Let Uncle Shi drive here, and bring your whole family, old and young, to eat butcher's dishes, so there will be a lot of people!" Su Xiazhi seemed to have read her mind, and invited her family openly son.

"Hey!" Second Sister Lu nodded her head in agreement. My boss did things straightforwardly and without hesitation. If she opened her mouth, she meant it sincerely. Although Second Sister Lu was a little afraid of her, she admired her boss more!

They are all women, it is really rare to see someone as capable as the owner...

"Auntie, I have to ask you to go early at that time. We have to steam a few pots of steamed buns early in the morning. I think everyone in our village has to come!" Su Xiazhi said to Aunt Gao with a smile.

"Does it need to be said? How many years has no one done this? Who can afford to buy a pig for Chinese New Year? Xiucai's family, you don't need to say hello when the time comes, they will knock on your courtyard door if they smell it !" Aunt Gao likes to join in the fun, and she seemed happier than Su Xiazhi when she said that she was going to eat pig-killing dishes.

"Why don't you say hello, when you go back later, go to each house and say, anyone who is willing to come, we have been busy for so long, it should be lively!"

With a single word from Su Xiazhi, he invited guests from another village, and let Second Sister Lu take a deep breath: How much money will it cost...

Although Shanxia Village is a small village, there are still dozens of people in the whole village.Therefore, to invite these dozens of people to dinner, Su Xiazhi had to start preparing the day before.

Taking out a basin of sauerkraut that was soaked at home, Su Xiazhi took the ice balls and cut it with a knife with a 'swish' sound. After cutting for half an hour, there were already more than half of the basin of shredded sauerkraut.

After coaxing the little girl to sleep, seeing Jiaojiao and Gao Yue playing well in the yard, Min Qinglan told her to listen to her sister in the east room, while she went into the kitchen to help Su Xiazhi with some work.

"I'm here to cut this, it's all ice balls, don't feel cold all the time." Rolling up her sleeves, Min Qinglan took the sharply sharpened kitchen knife in her hand, and began to cut the sauerkraut on the chopping board.

"Then I'll make steamed buns with the noodles." Su Xiazhi washed his hands, wiped off the moisture on his hands, filled the noodles from the noodle jar and poured them into the basin.

"Aren't you looking for trouble yourself!" Min Qinglan was talking to Su Xiazhi while cutting vegetables, and what she said was what she thought was heartfelt.

"I have worked so hard to earn some money, why would I invite people from a village to eat for free?" Half a sauerkraut was shredded, and Min Qinglan pulled it with her hands, and then looked at the cuts made by her siblings in the basin next to her. , she cut it obviously no one's uniform and good-looking, she sighed again in her heart, and felt that she was not as good as others...

"I want to make the noodle workshop bigger, but it's definitely not enough if only a few women are willing to work here." Su Xiazhi said succinctly.
