Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 58 Make the Best Use of Everything
Since Liu Qingluo returned home, Liu Heping and his wife, like a lost treasure, have found it again, and they love her even more than before.

As for the things she brought back, the family decided after discussion that, except for the silver and jewellery, they should not move, and the rest of the grains and rice should be eaten.

For one thing, although they have no debts now, all the money they saved before was given to the horse-faced guys.Life at home is really difficult.What's more, the food has been brought back, so we can't just throw it away for nothing.

Secondly, the weather is getting colder, the game in the mountains is getting less and less, and the weeds that can be eaten in the fields are even more so. Liu Qingluo went there a few times, but she only dug half a basket, and after passing the water, it was only a bowl and a half. The weight, how can the whole family eat it.

There was no food in the dry fields, and there were fewer and fewer edible things in the mountains. Liu Heping became more and more anxious.

Although the Lin family had given the green rice to several generations, it could not last for two or three months. When the winter was coldest, the family would have nothing to eat.

Liu Qingluo would never be idle, she took out the cloth brought back from Lin's house, drew many pictures by herself, and taught Du Shi to make clothes according to the pictures.

These are high-quality fine cloth and satin fabrics. Liu Heping and his wife are reluctant to wear them. They originally planned to sell them in the market, or they could subsidize their household.

As long as the next year's spring begins, there will be food in the fields and mountains, and you won't starve to death.

But this idea was first rejected by Liu Qingluo.

She felt that it was not cost-effective to just sell the cloth.

Using these cloths to make fine embroidery is of high value, but it takes too long.Even if Du Shi stays up all night by himself, he can only embroider a fan in ten days and half a month.

Furthermore, Liu Qingluo was not willing to let Du's eyes boil.

Thinking of the style of clothes she asked Du Shi to make casually before, even Su Jin's maid, who was next to Madam Bai of Lin Fu, couldn't stop praising her.

The idea of ​​drawing a picture and doing it for Mrs. Du took root in her heart.

Fortunately, Mrs. Du is dexterous. Not only can she cut out the shapes drawn by Liu Qingluo to the exact point, but she can also make appropriate improvements and additions based on her own experience and understanding.

Even the well-informed Liu Qingluo couldn't help but marvel at the finished product.

Autumn clothes are still thin, and one piece of cloth can probably cut two sets of clothes for adults and three sets of clothes for children.

There were three bolts of fine cloth and three bolts of brocade. With Liu Qingluo's suggestion, Mrs. Du made eight sets of dresses for young women and six sets of dresses for young girls.

The whole family sat in the house, admiring Du Shi's ready-made dresses, all of them were surprised.

"Damn, you did all of this?" Liu Heping was honest, even in the town, he didn't dare to look at the woman, and he didn't really feel anything about the woman's clothes.

But these sets of dresses, which are either simple or elegant, have beautiful colors and are embellished on the sleeves and skirts. Even the styles are indescribably beautiful.

Can't help but let people imagine what it looks like when you wear it on your body.

"Mother, try wearing it and show us..." Liu Qingluo encouraged Du Shi.

Two touches of blush flew up on Du's face, and he said angrily: "You child, such clothes are not for us to wear... they are also sold to the ladies in the city..."

Liu Qingluo pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes sparkling, "Mother, you always say I'm stupid, and you are too. Ladies from real rich families don't wear clothes bought outside, and there are special embroiderers at home to cut clothes." of--"

"Oh, once you said it, I remembered it too. I heard that the daughter of Lizheng's family worshiped her master in Ruifuxiang in the city. She was chosen to be an embroiderer by a rich family for a month because of her good craftsmanship. Earn a lot of monthly money..."

Du's eyes were full of envy.

"Mother's craftsmanship is even better than that of Ruifuxiang's masters!" Liu Qingluo put her arms around Du Shi's neck coquettishly, "Mother, why don't you just wear a suit for me...just wear this lake green one... …Wear it for Daddy and Brother Quan to see, and tell them to see if Niuniu’s drawing looks good!"

Liu Qingluo had a sweet mouth as if she had eaten honey, and acted coquettishly and obsessed in every possible way. Du Shi couldn't be entangled, so she had to obey her, kicked Liu Heping and Liu Wenquan out, and changed into clothes she made herself coyly.

Liu Qingluo sat and watched with a smile on her face. Du Shi was angry at her for being stupid, so after changing it herself, she also changed into a set of children's skirts for her.

Liu Qingluo has always liked beautiful clothes, and she didn't refuse, she changed her clothes happily, and walked out with Mrs. Du.

Outside, Liu Heping and Liu Wenquan, father and son, were sitting in the yard weaving baskets. When they heard footsteps, they looked up and were stunned——

I saw two women, one big and one small, facing each other. The big lower body was wearing a lake green fine silk pleated skirt, and the upper body was a blue wide-sleeved long beige. The skirt and cuffs were all patterned with faint bamboo patterns.

Although Du's personality is pungent, in fact, his original appearance is more graceful and graceful. Now wearing this extremely elegant clothes, the whole person is much gentler and softer.

Look at the little man next to him, in a goose yellow and light blue chest-length skirt, with a double bun and tied with a headband of the same color, fresh and playful.

When this couple came out, they couldn't see the peasants in the hairpin skirts and the common clothes before, but they looked like the wives of rich families who went out to play.

"His mother—" Liu Heping looked at it for a while, his eyes gradually became sour, and his heart was filled with surprise and guilt.

Back then, Du Shi was also a well-known pretty girl in ten miles and eight villages. After marrying him for so many years, she took care of the housework, took care of her in-laws and children, ate rough tea and light food every day, and wore coarse clothes with patches.

It's a pity to lose this good looks.

Looking at her, Liu Heping felt very guilty.She took care of the housework all day long, but he never gave her a single silver hairpin.

"What are you looking at!" Du Shi blushed and said angrily in a low voice.

She was only in her early thirties, so she naturally loved beauty. She was already embarrassed in wearing such elegant clothes, but when she saw her husband staring at her unblinkingly, she felt even more ashamed and annoyed.

Liu Heping smiled innocently: "I didn't expect the lady's hands to be so skillful, and the clothes she cut looked like a fairy..."

"You're going to die, you're talking nonsense all day long, you've taught me badly!" Shi Du glared at him, but his heart was a little sweet.

She pulled Liu Qingluo and walked into the house, "Okay, little ancestor, mother obeyed your wishes, now I'm going back to the house to change, how can I work while dressed like this, I feel uncomfortable—"

The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days. Most of the wealthy families will buy new clothes for their daughters who have not left the court, and let them worship the Moon Goddess on the night of the full moon, hoping that their daughters will find a good marriage in the future.

Liu Qingluo's idea was exactly that.

"Hey, which lady and lady are these two from?"

As soon as the mother and daughter turned around and took two steps, they heard a voice full of jealousy and sarcasm from outside the yard.
