Chapter 116

Aunt Ma is here to help people with needlework, and now the sergeant in the guard will also send clothes over for sewing, mending, starching and washing.

Seeing Song Liyun coming in, the women stood up and made way for them.

Song Liyun has been in Suijin Town for so long, and has never seen women gather.

Seeing that everyone was very reserved, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Sisters-in-law, aunts, you sit down, you are welcome!"

Not long after Song Liyun arrived in Suijin Town, he met Aunt Ma under the introduction of Boss Mu. The clothes, shoes and socks of the three brothers and sisters were all made by Aunt Ma, and she was the most familiar with Song Liyun.

At this time, seeing that everyone was uncomfortable, Aunt Ma immediately followed to smooth things over: "Come on, everyone sit on the kang, don't be afraid, Miss Song is very nice.

You should have heard from various families that Miss Song will send food and firewood to the Jinglaotang this winter.

Mr. Zhang has boasted several times before and after, saying that this year the big kang in the hall will be warmer. "

The women here have met Song Liyun more or less, but they are not familiar with them, and they were frightened by her beating people in the street, and privately said that they were afraid that they would be difficult to get along with.

At this moment, seeing Song Liyun smiling and talking in a friendly manner, without the shocking aura of the day, and what Mrs. Ma said, they also relaxed, but spoke carefully, for fear of offending Song Liyun and getting a few big slaps.

Song Liyun brought cotton and cloth, and the women naturally talked about clothes and so on.

Aunt Ma had received the letter a long time ago. Two days ago, Song Liyun had said that she would make three sets of smocks. Now that she had brought new cloth, she knew she would be alive.

Pulling the cloth bag and looking at it, he immediately shouted: "Oh! This is a high-quality green cloth, thick and wear-resistant. This piece must cost at least three hundred cash!"

What she held in her hand was a piece of stone-blue thick cloth, which Song Liyun bought for the two brothers in Qili County.

The two are small and thin, and one piece of cloth is enough to cut two sets of clothes.

Hearing that Aunt Ma said that it would cost three hundred wen, Song Liyun smiled, and did not say that the piece of cloth was five hundred wen, but said: "I also bought a piece of twill cloth, and my sister-in-law will also make a set for me."

She sold the red wedding dress and other clothes in Song Shuirong's box to second-hand clothes stores, and one of them was bought by Xu Yan'er.

The three brothers and sisters are all wearing old clothes. No matter how they dress, they should wear new clothes after the Chinese New Year.

Aunt Ma flipped through the fabrics and new cotton prepared for Han Ming and Hei Jin below, and praised, "They are all good fabrics, hey! Adding up these things will cost you a tael of silver."

Here she was talking about how much she wanted, and the other women gathered around and touched and looked at it with envy in their eyes.

They live in towns and rarely have the money to buy new clothes.

Now the Song family sells acorn tofu and sells vegetables to the guards. The days are getting better and better.

Finally a young daughter-in-law said: "Miss Song, Mr. Zhang from Jinglaotang said that you asked them to peel acorns, would you give me money?"

Song Liyun smiled and said: "I always ask people to help with the work, of course I have to pay, but I don't give money, I give acorn noodles and firewood to Uncle Zhang and the others."

Although the little daughter-in-law was shy, she still summoned up her courage and said, "We can help you with the work too, and I want acorn tofu and firewood, okay?"

It's only the twelfth lunar month now, and it's still very early in March when we can dig wild vegetables, and I heard that there are wars on the border again, and food prices in various places have risen sharply.

The closure of Suijin Town here also has the advantage of being closed. They are all self-sufficient. Few families buy food, and even the news is spread slowly by others.

But these sporadic words are also worrying for everyone, for fear that they will return to those terrible days.

Now every family can only make the cooked porridge thinner, and try to eat it with multigrain acorn noodles.

Now if we can get the Song family's acorn tofu without bitterness, we can save a lot of food.

In the past, Song Liyun might have to consider polishing and concealing her clumsiness. Now that she and Song Zhenping have become famous in a battle, she can't keep a low profile.

In addition, although his fresh vegetables have not been publicized before, but now that Xue Zhuang has started to sell them, the fact that he made a lot of money will soon be known to everyone.

There was no need for her to be evasive anymore.

Originally, I thought that there would be many opportunities to employ people in the future. Now that I have asked myself, I will start now.

It's just that she doesn't know most of the people in Suijin Town. People need to be used, so I'd better observe them first before talking about them.

Song Liyun didn't answer for a while, and the little daughter-in-law was also very anxious, and couldn't help asking: "My husband and I are farmers. Although we plant more than ten acres of land, there are many people in the family. There are seven or eight people, old and young. The land alone is not enough to eat, so I want to find some work to do."

"Your family has seven or eight people, how could it be..." Song Liyun was a little surprised, there were not many families in Suijin Town who could have a whole family.

The little daughter-in-law looks like she is only 20 years old, and she is also a quick-talking person. Obviously, she is a little proud of the large number of people in her family.

"Miss Song, I know what you want to ask, tell the truth! I am the only one who can have a complete family in this room.

In the past, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were all honest people. They didn't dare to wash alluvial gold, so they kept farming, and usually picked up some pine nuts and wild fruits in exchange for money.

When the exile bandits brought people here, my whole family happened to be collecting acorns. They lived in the mountains and never came back, so they escaped the catastrophe. "

The little daughter-in-law crackled and said that she hadn't married at that time, and she got married half a year after the tragedy. At that time, Suijin Town had returned to calm, and it didn't prevent her from getting married, having a baby and becoming a mother, so she didn't feel the pain.

But several women in the room turned red-eyed. These were all family members who were robbed and killed.

Song Liyun didn't intend to hurt others, so she just said to the little daughter-in-law: "Of course your family can help me with things, but now it's the Chinese New Year, and everyone has to prepare for the New Year's Eve now, so let's work after the Chinese New Year!"

Hearing that she could get the job, the little daughter-in-law immediately became happy. After the year, the next year, anyway, now she can get some washing and sewing work from Aunt Ma to subsidize the family.

When the other women heard that they could pick up jobs, their hearts were also moved. An extra catty of grains would make the porridge thicker, and they were willing to do it.

Song Liyun saw the thoughts of several people, and also promised to live after the next year, and they all smiled.

After chatting a few more words, the little daughter-in-law named Chuntao happily left with some clothes that needed to be washed.

The other women didn't sit down for a while, but they all bid farewell to Song Liyun and left.

Aunt Ma was watching, and she was also happy when she saw that Song Liyun agreed to find work for everyone.

The only thing these women can do now is to wash clothes for the sergeants in the guard, and two clothes cost a penny.

These women are idle anyway, there is hot water on the kang stove, and they can barely earn a few cents.

When the weather warms up, the sergeants will be able to wash by themselves, and they won't even be able to earn these three to five pennies.

If Song Liyun can share some work, such as peeling acorns in Jinglaotang, he can also have a few catties of acorn noodles to satisfy his hunger during the spring famine.

At this time, Aunt Ma was in a happy mood, and while tailoring Song Liyun's clothes, she talked about gossip about every household in the town.

Before, she never mentioned those sad things.

After listening to her talk, Song Liyun realized why Boss Mu's family was originally in Qili County, but he still opened a shop in Suijin Town.
