Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 17 Needlework

"It's so cute." Liu Man'er pushed the rocking chair and said.

"Yeah, look at his big eyes, he looks quite like you." Ye Yuan said while sitting on the side.

Liu Man'er smiled, looked at the child carefully, and felt that he looked quite like herself, but at first glance, he seemed to be somewhat like Ye Yuan.

So she said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I feel that this child looks a lot like you, Ye Yuan, this can't be your illegitimate child with someone else outside, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Hearing Liu Man'er say this, Ye Yuan turned his face down: "This kid is the son of my comrade-in-arms, I don't want others to slander him, do you understand?"

"Yeah." Liu Man'er shook her head, then nodded again, "Anyway, it's what you say."

Ye Yuan also couldn't tell whether Liu Man'er was joking or serious, angry or not, he just stretched out his hand and rubbed her head again, and said, "Your hair should look pretty if you put a hairpin in it, why didn't you Buy it for yourself?"

"My hair is dry and yellow, it doesn't look good with a hairpin." Liu Man'er said casually.

She knew what she looked like now, her hair was dry, her face was a little chapped, and she was wearing patched clothes, it must be extremely ugly.

But at least she is only 16 years old, if she takes good care of her, she can still take good care of her. At least she has earned 15 years for nothing, and her skin is so bad, she admits it.

"You eat more in the future, I will work hard to hunt, and then I will try to let you eat meat every day, so that you can grow fat and white." Ye Yuan said earnestly, "I will buy you flower cloth again. Make clothes and buy silver hairpins for you, you must be very beautiful when you dress up."

"I'm a silly girl, peasant woman, why do you want to dress up so beautifully?" Liu Man'er turned her head and said, "I just want to be fed and clothed."

"Yes, everything will get better gradually." Ye Yuan is very confident in himself.

"Okay, I believe you." Liu Man'er turned her head and smiled, her big eyes were full of admiration, her dark eyes were dripping, seeing Ye Yuan's heart fluttered again, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, Rubbed her hair:
"Well, then I have to thank you for believing in me so much."

"You don't need to say thank you, why don't you take me with you next time you go hunting?" Liu Man'er pleaded.

Ye Yuan had such an idea in his mind before, but during this time, Liu Man'er's performance was good, which made him feel that the big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, so he didn't really want to take Liu Man'er to the mountain.

"You are a woman, you can wash and cook at home. There are many wolves, tigers and leopards on the mountain. What if I hurt you?" Ye Yuan said with a hint of rejection.

"I'm not afraid when you're here." Liu Man'er raised her face and put on a naive look, "My dear and Xiao He are both at home, I don't know anything, and I can only make trouble at home. If you are not afraid of me going around If you want to make trouble, even if you are alone on the mountain."

"I'm afraid of you." Ye Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Don't be afraid of me, I'll just go to the mountains with you for a few days." Liu Man'er said, "My mother wouldn't let me go on weekdays, but recently the farm work is done, so I just want to go to the mountains to have fun. I heard there are monkeys on the mountain, have you seen them?"

"I have seen."

"What do those monkeys look like?" Liu Man'er asked.

"Didn't you teach people how to tame monkeys in the street today? Why did you come to ask me instead?" Ye Yuan was a little puzzled.

"No, I just want to know if the monkeys on the mountain are the same as the monkeys on the street. If so, can we coax two monkeys to come down the mountain and make them my pets?"

"So you came up with this idea, I don't know, so you have so many eyes."

Hearing Ye Yuan say this, Liu Man'er didn't speak, but just grinned and laughed, "Are you willing or not?"

"I am willing, but the problem is, this monkey will only be found in the deep mountains." Ye Yuan frowned slightly.

There are many wolves, tigers and leopards in the deep mountains.

Liu Man'er had already thought of what he was going to say, and naturally his safety was more important than making money.

So Liu Man'er nodded obediently, "Forget it then."

"I'll take you to see it tomorrow." Ye Yuan agreed to Liu Man'er's proposal again.

"Then will you be in danger?" If it was Liu Man'er in the past, she must have only cared about herself, but after living a new life, she put his safety first.

"Don't worry." Hearing Liu Man'er's concern, Ye Yuan felt warm in his heart, never thought that this silly lady would care about him.

……

In the afternoon, Ye He and Liu Fusheng were digging earthworms to feed the chickens. Everything in the house was taken care of by Fang, and Liu Man'er had nothing to do, so she cleaned up the room at home.

A few days ago, she had packed all her things, but there were still many tattered clothes, Liu Man'er thought about taking them out and mending them.

Although Liu Man'er is not good at sewing, she is always eager to learn, and it happened that Mrs. Fang was at home, so she asked Mrs. Fang to teach her.

Only Liu Man'er is willing to learn, Fang's naturally has no second choice, she is very willing to teach her these things, after all, in the past, a family with such a large population required her to patch all of them, and she was really too busy.

It's just a pity that in the past, Liu Man'er's hands were very clumsy, and she couldn't sit still. Let her mend, and she could make a good dress even more worn out.

But today, she sat quietly on the small wooden stool, Fang Shi liked her cute appearance more and more.

Since Yuan'er came back from my family, Man'er has really behaved a lot. It seems that this woman still needs a man.

When thinking of this, she also thought of her deceased husband. Since her husband passed away, it has been extremely difficult for her to pull so many children by herself over the years.

The gossip of the villagers almost drowned her.

There is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's house. She was cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays, and finally survived until the eldest son grew up, the second son also grew up, and the younger son was studying. Although life was difficult, she always I think there is hope for this day.

At first, because the eldest daughter-in-law was a fool, she was worried a lot, but now, this eldest daughter-in-law is becoming more and more well-behaved, which made her feel even more relieved.

"Everything will get better and better." While teaching Liu Man'er to mend, Fang suddenly uttered such a sentence.

"Yes, look, is my sewing getting better and better?" Liu Man'er handed over the needle and thread in her hand to Fang for a look.

"That's right, the stitches are very fine. You can embroider slowly, and it will get better and better." Fang nodded and gave Liu Man'er a look of approval.

Liu Man'er's heart was greatly intensified, it seems that this sewing is not difficult, although her speed is not as fast as Fang's, but her craftsmanship is still good.

The two sat for a while, the child cried, Fang found a small basket, distributed some needles and threads to Liu Man'er, then went in to take the child, and Liu Man'er took these things back to her room to practice mending.

There were only two pieces of her clothes, and they were sewn up quickly, so she had nothing to do when she was idle, so she opened Ye Yuan's suitcase, looked for his clothes, to see if there were any scratches, after all, he walks on the mountain every day , There should be a lot of torn clothes.

Sometimes Fang didn't have time to mend his clothes, so he just went out in the tattered clothes, anyway, he didn't care about it.

However, Liu Man'er just wanted to find some clothes to practice with, so she turned out all his clothes. She thought that it would be too ugly to just wear square patches, so she ingeniously cut the rags into leaves. shape, and then sewed on the clothes.

Ye Yuan didn't go hunting in the afternoon, but went to work together with Ye Qing. Even though the busy season of farming has already passed, the work of the farm seems to be endless.

Especially now that it is spring, the weeds are growing wildly, and there are no pesticides or herbicides here, and the farmers have to go out from time to time to weed.

When Ye Yuan came back, it was dusk, he washed his hands, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Liu Man'er sitting on the bed and seriously mending. The light in the room was a bit dim, but Liu Man'er was sewing very seriously, even when he came in. None were found.

"What are you doing?" Ye Yuan uttered suddenly but seeing Liu Man'er startled, "What are you doing? You scared me to death."

"Does this scare you?" Ye Yuan rubbed his nose and said a little embarrassedly.

He sat down next to Liu Man'er, and the bed creaked instantly. Liu Man'er felt that the bed board had collapsed a little, so she sat down to the left.

"Hey, you are sewing clothes for me." Ye Yuan felt that the clothes in Liu Man'er's hands looked familiar.

"Yes, I found all your clothes today, take a look, do they fit?" Liu Man'er quickly stood up, and brought over some clothes that had been folded on the bed.

To be honest, the two of them sat alone in such a small room, so close, she seemed to be able to smell a little sweat on his body, which made her a little nervous.

Ye Yuan also saw Liu Man'er's uneasiness, so he picked up the clothes in Liu Man'er's hand without hesitation, and spread it out for a look, his eyes instantly became more strange:

"You sewed this clothes?"

"Yeah, what do you think?" Liu Man'er felt a little complacent. In the place where the clothes were patched, she removed it and sewed up leaves or branches. Now it looks a bit unique.

But, she just likes it, she doesn't like the way patches are patched, she can't wait to buy new clothes.

only……

No money.

"It's very well sewn." Ye Yuan said a few words abruptly, and then put it aside. Although this kind of clothes are still pretty, he can't wear them.

Seeing his expression, Liu Man'er knew that he was not so satisfied, and sighed, the clothes she mended with good intentions were not liked by others.

"It's obviously pretty? Why don't you like it?"

"It looks good, I like it, and I don't want to wear it." Ye Yuan said, put it away and put it in the box.

"The clothes you sew are very good, I like them very much." Ye Yuan nodded, and then said, "Do you want me to take you to the mountains tomorrow, that's why you behave so well?"

"Yes, yes." Even though it wasn't for this reason, Liu Man'er still nodded.

If she goes to the mountain to coax the monkeys, and then she trains them well, she can take the monkeys to perform in the street to make money.

Just think about it and be happy.
