The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 67 Feng's Irony

After Su Ling returned home, he checked the sauerkraut one by one to see if there was any moldy or rotten ones. He had to take them out and throw them away. Otherwise, the whole bucket of sauerkraut would be destroyed. broken.Mother Su was also helping to check, the two worked together, and it took more than two hours to complete the inspection. Fortunately, Su Ling's production method was proper, and there were no rotten ones, but there was a little mildew. They took it out and threw it away.

"Ling'er, come here, let mother measure it, I have to prepare new clothes for you, the weather is so cold, mother can sew cotton wool into the new clothes, it will be much warmer."

Su Ling stood and asked Su's mother to measure, "Look, this hair is really long. It seems that new clothes will be made in the spring, or there will be no clothes to wear. Mother will sew for you while I have nothing to do these days." Enough."

"Mother, I already have enough clothes, you can just make them for elder brother and He'er, of course you can't forget about my father."

"Okay, none of you can do without, I have done it."

As soon as Su Ho heard that she was wearing new clothes, she jumped up and down happily. In the end, it was Su's mother who threatened her that if she didn't stop to take the measurement, she wouldn't have her new clothes, so she stopped.

"Ling'er, learn from your mother! Although you can't make a whole piece of clothing, you can sew it after your mother cuts it out. You will be ten years old in the next year, and you will be a big girl. There was no condition for you to learn before. Now No matter what, you have to learn, or you won’t find your husband’s family in the future.”

Su Ling's heart twitched, 'My mother!I'm only ten years old, not 20 years old, do you want me to get married when I'm still so young?Besides, do you have to know how to sew if you want to have a family?Then he might as well marry a tailor and go back. 'But she still didn't refute Su's mother's words, and obediently picked up the needle and thread, but she didn't know where to start.

Seeing Su Ling like this, Su's mother could only shake her head helplessly, "It seems that the previous ones were all taught by Bai, come on, Ling'er, look at mother, start sewing from the inside, the stitches must be dense, and the distance between them must be tight. It can't be too far..."

Su Ling was at a loss when he heard it, and had no idea what Su's mother was talking about.She could only be in a daze holding the needle, Mother Su didn't say anything when she saw this, she was not afraid of any hope for Su Ling's needlework, she was probably the only one who embroidered mandarin ducks into ducks in the Huangfu Empire.

"Mother, I thought of it. I thought of the style of a piece of clothing. If you help me do this, it will definitely look good." Su Ling screamed suddenly, which startled Su's mother, although she ran into the clothes in a fright. In the study room, after a while, an extra piece of paper came out.

"Mother, look, this is what I thought of, you can help me do it like this." In fact, the clothes drawn by Su Ling are nothing special for the modern ones, they just turned the ancient jacket into a cloak Yes, it's a windbreaker, it's more casual to wear like this.

"Isn't this a cloak? It's just a little shorter." Of course it's short, Su Lingsu designed a short style, not like those ancient cloaks that almost reach the bottom of the feet, it's warm to wear, but it's too cumbersome It's thick and bulky, and it's inconvenient to sit and do anything after wearing it.

"I specially trimmed this. Not only can I wear it outside, but I can also wear it indoors, and it won't be cumbersome to wear." Su Ling also specially added some modern elements, and made the waist more comfortable. The ones are more close-fitting, not fat and fat, and look particularly bloated.

"Will this look good?" Su's mother obviously didn't believe it. The style of the clothes was too strange, and it didn't look like a cloak. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to wear it after making it. It was a waste of fabric, and it was a waste. time.

"It's sure to look good, mother, you have to trust me, you see, Li's cloth shop still uses the flower patterns I drew!"

"Mother, I'll make one for you." In fact, it takes less time to make a cloak like this than a jacket. You only need to cut the fabric, smooth out the cotton wool, and sew it into the clothes. up.

Mother Su's hands and feet are relatively flexible in making clothes, and before noon, a prototype of a modern cloak came out.

Su's mother was afraid that it would not fit well, so she did it while comparing.

When Su's mother gestured, Su Ho looked at the new clothes, "Mother, look at this size, this looks pretty, I want to wear the same clothes as my sister."

Mother Su saw that the effect of the clothes on the upper body was still very good, so she agreed to Su Ho's request, "Okay, mother will do the same for you."

It was already evening when Su's father returned home, and Su's mother thought that Su's father would stay at Wang's house, but unexpectedly he rushed back.

It was already quite late after dinner. Father Su was tired all day, so he went to rest after dinner, and couldn't deliver gifts to the old house in time.This caused Su's father to be embarrassed when he gave the gift the next day.

"Second brother, you are too good at being a man! The whole village has already given presents, and we are the last ones. Could it be that we were sent here because we couldn't send them out?"

Regarding Feng's sarcasm, Su's father felt that any explanation in words was useless, so he didn't reply to her, but just went straight into the main room.

"Mother, dim sum, I'm going to eat dim sum." Su Zhen snotted his nose and burst into tears, tugging at Feng Shi's sleeves, it's already winter, the weather is relatively cold, and his little face was flushed red from the cold, Feng didn't help him take care of him, so that his whole face was dry and red, and the tears flowed down, and the pain became more painful, and he cried even harder.

Feng shook off Su Zhen's hand, "Eat, eat, eat, eat all day long, no good." He also entered the main room.

"Mother, this is a New Year's gift from me, and the ten taels of silver are for me and Ah Zhen to honor you and dad." Father Su put the New Year's gift on the table, and took out the ten taels of silver from his pocket. Pass it to Mrs. Liang.

Mrs. Liang took the silver and looked at the New Year's gift from Su's father again. She didn't say much. She also knew that Su's father had already given gifts in the whole village and finally came to her house.

"The second child just came today. Fifth daughter-in-law, you go and invite those elder brothers back. There is also the fifth child. I don't need to study for the time being. Call him over."

In winter, there is less farm work, everyone stays in the yard, and within a short while, all the people have arrived.

"Mother, just tell me if you have anything to say?" Seeing that everyone was here, Father Su asked.

"Your sister's wedding date will be in the next year. It was said before that each family must give 20 taels of makeup to your little sister. Now that the wedding date is approaching, it's time to take out this money. This is for your sister's bottom of the box. Yes, every family has to give it." Su's mother had a rare look of majesty.

"Mother, how is this possible? The fifth child of our family has no job and spends so much money to study. How can I get 20 taels now?" Feng Shi was the first to object. She had just seen Su's father The ten taels of silver handed over to Mrs. Liang were still thinking about how to get it out of Mrs. Liang's hands. You must know that although her family is a scholar, she usually spends a lot of money. Most of the family's money is spent on Recently, he spends more on him, and I don't know where he spends it. Every time I ask him, he says it's for relationship. In fact, who knows the pain in her heart, in order to maintain the reputation of this talented lady. , her own dowry was taken away by that dead ghost.
