Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 111 Do you want to have a drink?

Li Shaoyun glanced at the shoes that Li Hong's mother gave her, and asked casually, "Is this for uncle?"

Li Hong's mother nodded, "That dead old man has all kinds of things. He thinks the shoes sold in the town are uncomfortable, so he insists on letting me make them! This is torturing me! He feels uncomfortable seeing me not tossing me when I'm idle! "

He was laughing and cursing, but he didn't care much about that, so Li Shaoyun and Li Hong looked at each other.

Li Hong rolled his eyes, already immune to his mother's duplicity!Just pretend not to hear.

Li Shaoyun praised sincerely: "Auntie, your craftsmanship is really good! The stitches are dense! It's neat and beautiful! It's a pity that no one makes shoes now, and they all buy them! Uncle must also like the shoes you made. They are good and comfortable to wear. chant!"

What she said was not entirely a matter of appearances, Li Hong's mother was good at craftsmanship, and the soles of Na's shoes really looked good, and it was obvious at a glance that there were women with average craftsmanship.

Although Li Shaoyun can't do it, he still has the basic ability to distinguish between good and bad!

She watched Li Hong's mother work, and felt a little regretful, this thousand-layer bottom is also an old traditional craft!It's a pity she won't!
There are mass-produced thousand-layer bottoms on the Internet in later generations. As for whether it is handmade or not, Li Shaoyun thinks it is a bit unlikely.

At least it won't be completely manual like it is now.And every family and everyone makes something different!
The craftsmanship is different, and the shoes made have their own characteristics!With such good craftsmanship, it is very delicate to make, and it is eye-catching to look at!
Later generations are already considered assembly lines, right?At least the so-called handmade shoes sold look almost exactly the same!
Now you can tell at a glance who it belongs to and who it was made for.

The difference is obvious.

Unlike the products on the assembly line, although they have the delicacy of industrial products, they also lack soul.

Of course, this is a matter of opinion.For the women in the village now, the finished shoes have relieved them a lot of burden!Liberated their labor:
Finally, there is no need to have free time all year round!

In particular, all the shoes of the whole family are made by one person. Counting the big and small, the amount of work is really not small!And that's not counting clothes or anything.

Like Li Hong's family, Li Hong's mother-in-law doesn't need to worry about it, but her own children, men, and herself have to do it herself!Now my mother-in-law can't do it, but I can buy it without her doing it.

That's why I often see that industrious woman in the countryside, who keeps sewing in her hands all year round. It's not because she doesn't want to be idle, but because she doesn't have the conditions.Who wants to work all year round?
Children grow up fast and are mischievous. Leaving aside clothes and so on, these shoes will soon be wasted!
Even if there is that quiet one, if you can't stand it, you will grow up with it!As a result, children in the village often see their big toes sticking out!

It's not that adults are lazy or reluctant, but that the shoes they make can't keep up with the speed of growth!

Li Hong's family is not bad, but there are four people, some families have three or four children, or even four or five, five or six more, Li Shaoyun feels desperate when he thinks about it!

How busy are you all year round?This is how the new three years, the old three years, the sewing and mending, and the three years come!
In the past few years, the conditions have improved, and all kinds of finished shoes are everywhere. Buying shoes is easy and convenient, and women don't have to work as hard as before.

After listening to Li Shaoyun's praise, Li Hong's mother smiled and said, "What's the matter? Practice makes perfect! It's just that people seldom do this now, it's so unfamiliar!
"That's the job, it's not easy to pick it up again once you put it down! You've caught up with it! It's not like our time!"

Li Hong's mother shook her head, thinking of her teenage days at her mother's house, she couldn't help sighing, "You guys grew up in Fuwowo!"

Li Shaoyun and Li Hong looked at each other, Li Hong pouted, and Li Shaoyun pursed his lips and smiled.

Although the two didn't take it seriously, what Li Hong's mother said was not unreasonable, at least they don't have to do needlework all day long now!

However, because of this, many traditional crafts have gradually declined and disappeared.

Although traditional craftsmanship is good, it also has great limitations. The advantages of products produced by modern assembly lines are also obvious, but they lack individuality.

Therefore, the prices of traditional products sold online in the later generations are very expensive, and the price will skyrocket if there is a word of handicraft.

Once this thing is broken, it will be difficult to pick it up again!There are many lost crafts.

Melaleuca shoes are just the most basic and common type.Relatively speaking, it is also easy to pick up.

Li Shaoyun sighed, this is a historical choice in real life, she is a little girl, she can only sigh but can't change anything.

A few people sat there, chatting casually.

Li Hong's mother remembered that Li Shaoyun's house in their town had been built, so she asked Li Shaoyun, "When are you going to move?"

As she asked, she skillfully inserted the needle into the sole of the shoe, pulled it out with a thimble, and said, "The condition of your house is now good. We don't know when we will be able to build a new house!"

She spoke calmly and casually, without the slightest bit of envy. Li Shaoyun glanced at her and admired her from the bottom of his heart. This kind of attitude of neither envy nor envy can raise a daughter like Li Hong who is magnanimous in heart, right?

"There's nothing to move, just move things there!" Li Shaoyun replied indifferently.

Li Hong's mother raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Your family didn't move house?" The moving house she was talking about was a house-moving ceremony or something.

Li Shaoyun didn't quite understand, "I don't know about this!" Is this necessary?

To be honest, she really didn't pay attention.She in later generations will not have the opportunity to experience this, renting a house is not included.

Li Hong's mother was also a little surprised, she took a look at Li Shaoyun, "It's such a big deal, your family has built a new house, and you must have a drink when you move! Didn't your mother say anything?"

Ordinarily, if it is in the village, this matter must be done!
Building a new house is a big deal no matter what era it is!The Li family has moved to the town now, why does this sound like they want to distance themselves from the villagers?
Li Hong's mother didn't say anything, she glanced at Li Shaoyun, and then she was relieved.

They all belong to Xiaowaer's family. It is unlikely that Wang Hong and his wife will tell their daughter about this, right?Ask her when you meet her another day.

Li Hong's mother made up her mind, so she stopped inquiring with Li Shaoyun.

Li Shaoyun didn't know the position of the moving house in the hearts of the villagers, so he only thought that his family had moved that time!

How did she know that Li's father had already planned to move to the restaurant, but the family still had to open a store, so she wanted to choose a good day and solemnly invite acquaintances in the village to sit down.

As for how big it will be, Dad Li hasn't decided yet, but what he means is not to make it so big for now.

Shoot the first bird, the development of your own family is good now, but you don't want to be frivolous and attract people's attention, otherwise you don't know where to make others uncomfortable, and you may set a stumbling block for you at any time, there is no need.

It is a tradition of the Chinese people to make a fortune in silence, and Dad Li happens to be this kind of person.The couple discussed it, and thought about talking to the old man and the old lady when they went home, so they didn't mention it again.
