peasant woman headed home

Chapter 16

Mother Li touched it and felt it was really good, so she said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, this cloth is really good, you see, we have to buy some other cloth, can this price be considered cheaper?"

"...Well, okay, you buy more, and I will naturally give you a cheaper price. In the future, if your girl wants to take over the work, remember to find me!" The shopkeeper agreed quite readily.

Mother Li bought half a bolt of red cotton cloth, ten feet of stone blue cotton cloth, and ten feet of white cotton cloth. One foot of red cloth and one foot of stone blue cloth cost seven Wen, and one foot of white cloth cost five Wen. I sent some rags and spent a total of 320 Wen.

Mother Li told Liu Jing that she would make a dress for Liu Jing from stone blue cloth, and make him some inner clothes from white cloth.The rest of the azure-colored cloth was also used to make new clothes for Da Zhuang and the others. The children's clothes cost less material.

Although Red Embroidery has the memory of the original owner, but these handicrafts are practice makes perfect, no, making clothes by yourself will definitely waste the material, so I plan to ask Mrs. Wang to help him, and feed the piglets for him. Mother Li will help with the embroidered clothes Now, these things must not bother Li's mother anymore, Hongxiu, who made up her mind, felt relieved, planning to buy something to please her nephew, and save the country with curves.

Hongxiu carried the cloth and followed Li's mother forward, and Li's mother took Hongxiu to a jewelry store.

"Man, a few days ago, Li Ji from Lijia Village took the jewelry and fused it here, and made a new style. Is it ready?" Li's mother was talking with the man.I took out the pick-up voucher made by this store.

"Ma'am, it's ready, should I pick it up now?"

"Yeah, how much money is there?"

"Last time you paid a deposit of half a penny, and it cost a tael of silver to make jewelry. You also know that your jewelry is old, and the style you choose is the most fashionable now." The man took out the jewelry and talked endlessly.

"Understood." Mother Li took out half a penny and handed it to the clerk.Go out with Hongxiu.

"Xiu'er, a few days ago, I asked your second brother to melt some of mother's jewelry and make a new style. I was not willing to give it to your sister-in-law and the others, so don't let her know." The hairpin and the cloth bag of the silver bracelet were stuffed into my arms, "The Liu family's situation is not good, so I probably didn't give you any jewelry. Although I despise his family for being poor, the former head of his family is still very good, and you should respect him." Your mother-in-law, you have lived your life well, you are a good-lucky person as the great monk said, ah "

Hongxiu's eyes were red, and the people of the Li family treated Hongxiu very well. Almost no rural girl had a better life than Hongxiu.There are a lot of patriarchal patriarchs in the countryside. Although the Li family may have thought that Hongxiu was a prosperous family before, but after so many years, they have taken care of Hongxiu like a treasure. This is the only family in Lijia Village, and there is no other semicolon.

Hongxiu wiped her eyes, continued to walk with Li's mother, looked up and saw a study, and had an idea in her mind.Red Embroidery has attended many small interest classes in modern times, and brush calligraphy is one of them, and it has won an award.So copying books should be able to make money now.The original owner and his elder brothers learned some words, said hello to Li's mother, and went to the study.Li's mother asked to be careful, so she went to the front to find Mrs. Wang.

When Hongxiu arrived at the study, she straight to the point and said to the assistant: "Brother, is there a fellow who copies books here?"

The guy thought that Hongxiu was helping his family and asked, "Girl, there is book copying in the store, but you have to do it yourself. If you don't write and read, how can you ask him to copy books?"

"This little brother, I'm the one who wants to take this job, can you read my handwriting, can you?"

Seeing Hongxiu like this, the buddy couldn't bear it, so he took out the waste paper and let Hongxiu try it.Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief and wrote a few words. The assistant saw that Hongxiu's handwriting was not bad, so he showed it to the shopkeeper.It turned out to be very smooth, and Hongxiu was finally able to make some money on her own.A copy of the Book of Songs was given to Hongxiu with thirty essays, and an Analects of Confucius was forty essays.Hongxiu reported her home address and Li Ji's work address. The clerk knew Li Ji, the cashier at the inn on the next street, and agreed not to pay the deposit, but he had to hand over the two copies of the Book of Songs and the Analects of Confucius after ten days. In addition, after handing it over here, Hongxiu agreed, took the book, paper and pen, and went out to find Li's mother.

On the way, I saw some chestnuts fried in sugar, so I took out the five cents my mother Li had just given me to buy some back, and prepared to bribe my nephews.Looking at the book in his hand again, for such a good reason, it is very likely that he will not need to do it himself to get some clothes.

After buying everything, Hongxiu and the others waited for the handlebars at the inn where Li Ji worked.Mother Li looked at Hongxiu taking over the job of copying books, although she was a little surprised how she could copy books because her hand was injured and she couldn’t embroider. I can write it.Hongxiu really didn't know that she was almost exposed, and she was intoxicated with the joy of making money.
