Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 617 New Shoes

 So her way back to the village must be safe.

 Just seeing that Zhang Menyi wanted to send her off because he was worried about her, he felt very happy, so he just nodded, "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

 “They’re all from neighboring villages, it’s okay, they should be.”

Zhang Menyi didn’t want Xiaocui to get into any trouble because he came to his house to buy mutton.

 The two of them walked in tandem until they reached the entrance of Baijia Village.

 “Thank you, Brother Zhang, please go back quickly.” Xiaocui said.

“That’s it, go back more slowly.” Zhang Menyi warned again before heading home.

"Yeah." Xiaocui nodded heavily and looked at Zhang Menyi walking away, then picked up the bamboo basket and walked home happily.

The days flew by and it was the Dragon Boat Festival.

 Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the time to harvest wheat, and farmers are all busy now.

 Bai Shitang's rouge and gouache shop in the county town opened before the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was called Heng Zhixuan.

Su Mulan took the time to take a look inside the shop.

 The items sold in the shop are not high in price and are useful. The jars containing various rouges and gouache are also very exquisite. In addition, there are also some fashionable items from Yangzhou and Beijing.

 Suddenly, Hengzhixuan became the shop with the best business among Rouge Gouache in the county.

During this period, Bai Shitang bought more and more things from home.

 Food, vegetables and meat, as well as various children's gadgets and books, as well as story books that Su Mulan likes to read, as well as some hairpins and jewelry that are used in daily life.

Su Mulan originally didn't care about jewelry, and since she was in a farmhouse, many things looked a bit conspicuous when worn, and seemed a bit cumbersome when doing work. However, the things that Baishitang brought back may seem ordinary to outsiders, but in fact they are exquisitely made and the materials used are exquisite, and insiders can recognize them as valuable.

For example, this ebony hairpin looks ordinary on the outside, but its texture is very high quality.

 In addition, these hairpins are actually used in daily life, so Su Mulan collected them all.

But in return, Su Mulan made two pairs of shoes for Bai Shitang.

Su Mulan often makes small clothes for herself on weekdays and learns needlework from Bai Zhuye. Now her skills are basically proficient.

I can’t say that it looks amazing, but it looks neat, there are no big mistakes, and the stitching is much finer than before.

"Thank you." When Bai Shitang received these two pairs of shoes, he thanked Su Mulan and tried them on his feet. "They fit very well."

 It is also very comfortable to wear.

"As long as it's suitable." Su Mulan was very happy to see that what she made was recognized by Bai Shitang. "The soles of the shoes I made this time are not so thick. They are softer and lighter to wear. Wait for the next time When making cotton shoes, the soles need to be thicker.”

 In other words, Su Mulan plans to make shoes for him next time?

 Bai Shitang paused for a moment, then nodded, "Well, that's what happened."

"Dad's new shoes are so pretty." Bai Zhuye came to Su Mulan's place to pick up a sewing basket. Seeing Bai Shitang put on the shoes made by Su Mulan, she giggled, "However, they are not as good-looking as the ones Mom made for me. "

“Look, my mother has specially embroidered bamboo leaves on these pairs of feet, which is my name.”

Bai Zhuye raised her feet and didn't forget to show off in front of Bai Shitang.

Looking at Bai Zhuye's obviously "competing for favor" look, Bai Shitang touched her head and said, "Yes, Zhuye's shoes are better looking."
