The peasant daughter of the crossing

Chapter 287

Seeing the flowers that were almost wrapped into zongzi, Saburo gave a hearty smile and went out first.Because Sanlang carried the bucket on his shoulder, Ruhua followed behind and locked the door.

Since it started to snow in winter, the water brought down from the mountain has frozen and can no longer flow down. There is no way to do it, and it has returned to the days of carrying water from wells.The well may be due to groundwater, and when it was drilled in winter, it still felt a little warm.

Maybe it's because the sun is out today, and it's not as windy as it was when it snowed two days ago. Ruhua didn't feel very cold when she went out, and she was in a happy mood. You know, she is afraid of cold and heat... …

"Hehe, let me tell you, the weather isn't that cold. If you still don't believe it, you should have come out a long time ago." Sanlang held the shoulder pole in both hands, but the iron hook for carrying water was still dangling, and the bucket was naturally dangling along with it, sending out "Crackling" sound.

"Come out for a walk? Where are you going? It's better to stay in the house comfortably. If my back is sore and my neck hurts from sitting, I wouldn't bother to hang out with you." Ruhua put her hands in her pockets and raised her neck.

Seeing Ruhua afraid of the cold, Sanlang frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Is it still cold?"

Glancing at Saburo, Ruhua also knew that her actions were too exaggerated, and explained, "Actually, it's not that cold, it's just a psychological effect!"

The two chatted one after another, and arrived at the well after a while.

Ruhua stood by and waited for Sanlang to fetch water before the two walked back.

When going back, Ruhua saw someone standing at the door of her house from a distance, looking towards the house.

After walking a little further, I saw that the person turned out to be Mrs. Zou.Similarly, Mrs. Zou also saw the two returning home, and she suddenly had an unnatural expression on her face. She didn't know what she was holding in her hand, and she hid it behind her back.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Zou, Ruhua wondered if something had happened!Otherwise, she wouldn't come to them rashly after many days, but when she saw the unnatural expression on Mrs. Zou's face, she knew that Mrs. Zou couldn't bear to talk in front of her, but she was talking to Sanlang. After saying a few words, he entered the house.

Not long after, Sanlang also carried water into the house, holding a blue cloth bag in his hand. Ruhua knew that the blue cloth bag belonged to Mrs. Zou, so she immediately asked, "What is that in your hand?" ?”

Saburo put down the blue cloth bag and said, "Open it yourself!" After speaking, he carried water into the kitchen.

Open the blue cloth bag that Saburo put on the table, there are several pairs of insoles on several sides, each pair of insoles have different patterns, there are peonies, peonies, and every flower under the needlework is lifelike, as if it is real .Ruhua couldn't help being amazed when she saw such a good embroidery worker, "It's so beautiful!"

Sanlang put down the bucket and went out of the kitchen. When he saw Ruhua who was fascinated by the insole, he smiled, went to sit beside Ruhua, and said, "Grandma Zou's embroiderer was one of the best in Shaoyao Village when she was young. Don't you think it's beautiful?" ?"

It was at this time that Ru Hua came back to her senses, "You said it was embroidered by Mrs. Zou?"

Seeing surprise in Ruhua's eyes, Sanlang nodded and said yes.

"Then what is she doing?" Ruhua was stunned, unable to understand what Grandma Zou meant.

"What can you do? I just want to send us something, saying that I have troubled us earlier."

"Oh! Who cares about her insoles!" Ruhua murmured, but Ruhua still looked at the insoles carefully, flipped through the insoles, and there were four pairs of insoles in total, one pair was big and belonged to Saburo, and the smallest pair belonged Xiaobao's, and the remaining two pairs are the same size, presumably they belong to her.But she became curious, how did Mrs. Zou know the size of their feet, and asked suspiciously, "Sanlang, the size of the insole looks just right! Did you tell her?"

"Hehe..." Sanlang smiled foolishly, and changed the subject, "It's usually my job to help, but now it's all right, when it's the turn to thank you, you alone have the heaviest thank you."

Knowing that it was Saburo who told her, Ruhua said, "Then you didn't tell her my size back then, wouldn't it be fine?" Although she said so, Ruhua kept turning the insole over and over several times with her hands. , is really excellent!

Why did such a good embroidery worker go to pick up cow dung!If she took this needlework to the town and bought it, she believed that it would definitely be worth a fortune. It would be much easier to pick up cow dung.

"Sanlang, you said she is such a good embroiderer, why don't you sell some good-looking embroidery in the town! It's much easier and more expensive than that laborer picking up cow dung!" Ruhua wondered.

Saburo said embarrassedly, "I don't know about this, but I've heard that since Grandma Zou was the only one left in her family, she has never done this needlework..."

Not knowing what to think, Ruhua looked at the insole in her hand several times, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. This insole should be very comfortable to put on it!Thinking of this, Ruhua quickly took off her shoes and put on the insoles.

"So anxious?" Saburo asked in surprise.

Ruhua didn't answer, she continued to pad her insoles, and when the insoles were padded, she put them on again, Ruhua stood up and took two steps, tried it out, and felt her feet were warm.

"Is it comfortable?" Seeing Ruhua's smiling face, Sanlang asked, probably because he felt that he asked too much, and whispered, "Grandma Zou is still afraid that you won't wear it!"

"What did you say?" Ruhua asked.

"Nothing!" Saburo shook his hand.

Ruhua didn't bother to care about what Sanlang said, and walked around the room again before taking the remaining insoles into the room and putting them away.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, because it is the first time that Ruhua spends such a meaningful festival with her family, so Ruhua still takes everything very seriously, first of all, today I asked Sanlang to go up to the attic and cut the bacon. Soak it in water, wash it and use it tomorrow.

I collected all the dirty clothes at home again and spent time cleaning them.

After working for a whole morning, I basically finished these things, thinking that there was still one last bit of clothes left unfinished, and after lunch, Ruhua started making clothes again.
