Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 22 The Knowledge of Clothes

Pu Huang carried a small basket to the Hong family's uncle's house, and met Guan Shi who was about to go out, Guan Shi was not surprised, "I'm going to visit your Aunt Cui, your sister-in-law is on the porch, you can see it when you go in. "

"Auntie, you should hurry up, I understand." Pu Huangfu said with his lower body.

Mrs. Guan nodded, and left satisfied. The more she looked at Puhuang, the more she liked it. At first, she thought it would be bad to buy it, but now it seems that the Hong family picked up the treasure.

Guan's eldest daughter-in-law is Su Shi, the daughter of the eldest son Hong Haoxing's teacher. She is not beautiful, but she has a scholarly temperament and a small dimple when she smiles. She has a good personality and is very affectionate with Hong Haoxing. Now Raised a son and a daughter.

Puhuang met Su Shi once, but they never talked. In order to look more formal, she also brought a bag of wild fruits that she picked when she went up the mountain in the morning. They were just picked up from the water before she came, and they were not wilted.

Sitting on the porch, Mrs. Su was turning over the flower rope with her four-year-old daughter Hong Xiuxia. Seeing Puhuang approaching, she hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Sister-in-law in the lobby, you don't need to be too polite. I'm here to trouble you." Pu Huang Fu half body, seeing Su Shi busy turning the charcoal of a small stove to boil water, said hurriedly.

"How could it be possible? It's a hot day, drink some tea to quench your thirst." Su Shi said with a light smile.

"Thank you Xia'er, it's really cute. This is a wild fruit. Take it and eat it." Pu Huang took the small stool that Hong Xiuxia brought over, and liked this delicate and well-behaved girl very much. Take out the wild fruit.

Seeing this, Mrs. Su nodded slightly to her daughter, beckoning her to accept it, and said to Puhuang with a smile: "Come here as soon as you come, and bring something special, just this one time!"

Pu Huang shook his head, "Sister-in-law in the lobby, it's not a valuable thing. I just picked some wild fruits when I went up the mountain. The children tasted it. I soaked it in salt water. It's cleaner and more delicious."

"My brother and sister are very clever. Don't tell me I never thought of soaking them in salt water. Next time I get wild fruits, I can also try this way, so as not to worry about not being clean enough." Su took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her daughter. hand, and then said: "I saw that you brought cloth, but you want to draw flowers?"

Pu Huang glanced at the small bamboo basket next to Su's. There was a small embroidery frame inside, on which was an unembroidered peach blossom. The color scheme and layout made her feel ashamed.Hearing Su's question, she couldn't help but blush, and quickly waved her hands, "Sister-in-law, don't laugh at me, I can still do the work in the field, but this needlework is really difficult for me Yes, so far I have not been able to walk evenly.”

"These are nothing more than proficiency, you can do it a few more times." Su Shi said with a smile, his tone was very sincere.

Pu Huang shook his head, and lowered his voice a lot: "Sister-in-law, actually, I came here today to ask you to tell me how to tailor the clothes, what are the styles of these clothes, and what are the taboos?"

Su looked at Puhuang's eyes with a little shame, and listened to her words, and she almost knew what kind of life she lived in the past. I heard from her mother-in-law that the younger siblings were ordered by their stepmother to do things, so how can they think that a girl should know how to do things? Didn't teach it, it's a pity.

"It's not a big problem. I can tell you a little bit. How about it? It's better to learn it several times, starting with the simplest and most commonly used one." Su thought for a while and said, when she used to study, she was taught by The mother taught it in person, very systematically, teaching Puhuang at this time, just to practice in advance for teaching her daughter in the future.

"This is the best, so I'll trouble my sister-in-law." Pu Huang felt that he had found the right person. He has read books or not, and doing the same thing is different. If it were Yang's, he would definitely hold hands Teach her, instead of saying it systematically like Su Shi.

"Xia'er, go and help your mother get the pen and paper on the table inside the house." Su Shi softly instructed her daughter, then turned around and took three white porcelain bowls, and put a few slices of dried mint into each Leaf, lifted the kettle on the small stove and washed it down, and a light mint aroma wafted in the air immediately.

"This mint tea is easy to brew, so my younger siblings will just drink it." Su Shi explained, afraid that Puhuang would feel neglected.

"Mint tea is very good. It's suitable for drinking in summer. It clears away the heat." Pu Huang shook his head, feeling that smelling the aroma made him feel more refreshed.

"If my younger brother and sister like it, I will take some back later. I have sunned a lot, and I can't drink it all by myself." Seeing that Puhuang is not annoying, Su Shi is a little happy, after all, not everyone can drink this taste.

Hong Xiuxia took a few pieces of rough khaki paper and a thin eyebrow pencil in her hand, and handed her both hands to Mrs. Su, then she sat down on the small stool, wrapped up the leftover wild fruit, and quietly Playing with the flower rope freely, without making any noise.

Seeing Puhuang staring at the pen and paper in his hand, Su explained: "This thick paper is cheaper, I often use eyebrow pencil to draw pictures, for my own entertainment, brothers and sisters don't take offense."

"No, no, I think it's so good. Ink is not cheap, and it's not easy to modify it if it's a drawing." She felt that Su was very polite, and she was always afraid of neglecting the guests.

"I think so too." With Puhuang's approval, Su's mood was very good, "Now that the weather is hot, men usually wear jackets and brown shirts, that's it, short-sleeved and cross-collared shirts, what needs to be remembered is, All clothes must have a front and back seam. The cross-collar is the left side and the right side is tied under the armpit of the right hand. It is called the right lapel. If it is reversed, it is worn by a deceased person. However, among some tribes and Yi people, they do not have this Therefore, both the left lapel and the right lapel can be seen. And most of the laces we use, a few have metal snap buttons, and a few cloth buttons. For example, in our Spring City, there is a Yi nationality somewhere. Their clothes are a row of The densely packed buttons are like centipedes, but they are not suitable for us Han people to wear."

Pu Huang listened patiently, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, there is really a lot of knowledge about this dress, if someone else, I'm afraid they won't teach her as seriously as Su Shi, tell her these special meanings, and give examples to illustrate the comparison .As for the clothing data, men and women are different, but most of them are determined according to the individual's figure, generally within a numerical range.

Because Puhuang is not a child, Su's speech does not need to be explained in a description that only children can understand. The speed is fast, so Puhuang has a general understanding, especially Su Shi also took the clothes he was wearing to explain The description made her even more impressed.

Men's clothes are simpler than women's, and there are not as many styles as women's clothes, so the story will be finished soon, while women's clothes are similar to men's styles except for some differences, which is easy to remember.

After talking about this, I talked about the sewing formation. Su told Puhuang three kinds, and showed Puhuang on the cloth. He also told her some tips, such as how to deal with the corners of the clothes, how to sew the tie, two How to split the side and so on, after stopping for a while, Pu Huang felt that he had really benefited a lot, and even had the urge to do something right away.

One is serious about studying, the other is serious about teaching, the time flies quickly, almost one afternoon has passed, but fortunately, I have mental strength and my memory is much stronger, otherwise it would be really difficult to memorize so much at once.

After packing up his things, Pu Huang remembered the matter of borrowing books, and he didn't know if it would be too abrupt, but he still spoke with common sense, "Sister-in-law, it's like this, my husband has been stuck in the room and has nothing to do, fortunately he knows After learning some words, I thought about asking my elder brother to borrow a few enlightenment books to read, do you think so?"

Su raised her eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "Sisters and sisters, it's like this, Xianggong's books are very precious, and it's not easy for me to make decisions when he's not here. I copied a lot by myself when I was at my mother's house. Mind if you take it back to have a look?"

"This makes?" Puhuang said cautiously, Su's calligraphy can be seen by other men?

Seeing Puhuang's expression, Mrs. Su knew what she was thinking, "Sister and brother, you don't have to think too much, we are not from a big family, and cousin Hao'an is not an outsider, so it's fine if you read it, just don't spread it to the outside world."

"Then thank you cousin, my husband and I will take good care of the books." Pu Huang got up and thanked him, the price of this book is not low, even if it is transcribed, it will not be so cheap.

Pu Huang was about to say goodbye when he suddenly remembered that he had come here and seemed to have forgotten to say hello to the old lady Mrs. Zhang. Would this be too impolite?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Su has more experience than her in this matter, so she asked the question. After listening to Puhuang's question, Mrs. Su smiled, "Sister and sister, this matter is not urgent. One day Hao'an will also come, and you will officially Say hello to grandma."

Hearing the meaning of Su's words, Puhuang was relieved, Hong Hao'an had to take him with him when they met for the first time, because of special circumstances, she didn't have to go to say hello for the time being, which just saved her trouble.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for clearing up the confusion. The sun is coming down, and you have to be busy. I'll go back first." Pu Huang resigned from the Su family, and just after he left the gate, he was bumped into by a girl who came in a hurry. .

"Oh! It hurts me to death!" The girl exclaimed, covering her forehead and looking at Puhuang in front of her, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"Sorry, are you okay?" Pu Huang was a little annoyed.

"It's all right, you're Cousin Hao'an's wife?" The girl looked at Puhuang and asked with a smile.

"Yes, who is the girl?" Pu Huang hesitated, she had never seen this girl before.

"Oh, what are we doing talking at the door? Come, come in and sit in the room. My name is Hong Wenlin, what's your name?" Hong Wenlin enthusiastically took Puhuang's hand, and was about to pull her into the room.

"Wen Lin, you're back, what are you talking to your siblings?" Su Shi heard the voice, came from the kitchen, and saw Hong Wenlin and Pu Huang tugging, thinking that there was some conflict between them, she couldn't help being startled .

"Hey, sister-in-law, didn't I meet my cousin, invite her to come in and sit down!" Hong Wenlin glanced at Su Shi and said cheerfully.

"Wen Lin, your sister-in-law sat with me all afternoon, the sun has set, it's time to have dinner, let's put it down." Su smiled and shook her head, feeling a little helpless at Hong Wenlin's rush.

"Hee hee, look, I've forgotten the time, that cousin, I'll go and play with you next time." Hong Wenlin squinted her eyes, and shook Pu Huang's hand.

"Okay, Mr. Xiang will be very happy." Pu Huang said with a smile, and felt that Hong Wenlin was easy to get along with.
