Chapter 6 Embroidery

  When Mrs. Sun came out of the silk and satin village, Yu Xiaolian could clearly feel that Mrs. Sun's mood had improved.

   "The proprietress gave us some lacing work, which can be done for a month, and the deposit has not been confiscated." Sun happily put the things used for lacing into Yu Xiaolian's bamboo basket.

   "Is it heavy or not? How about I carry it?" Seeing that the small bamboo basket carried by Yu Xiaolian was almost full, Mrs. Sun was about to reach out to take it.

  Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "No need, mother, I can move my back, and you will have to carry the iron pot later, save your strength!"

   Mrs. Sun didn't insist on hearing what Yu Xiaolian said, but took Yu Xiaolian's hand and went into the market again.

Iron pan, three new sets of bowls and chopsticks, two medium-sized porcelain jars, a catty of salt, a bottle of soy sauce, and a piece of pork suet. Mrs. Sun walked through the market well and bought them all in no time. .

  Finally, Mrs. Sun went to the grocery store to buy lamp oil and red paper, and took Yu Xiaolian home.

  The iron pot was tied to Mrs. Sun's back with a rope brought from home, and she carried a heavy porcelain jar in her two hands, which contained some odds and ends.

  As for the bowls and chopsticks, Yu Xiaolian put them in her small basket.

  Sun's body was carried on her back, and what she held in her hands probably weighed several tens of catties, but she still walked much faster than Yu Xiaolian.

  She would quickly walk a long distance, then put the jar on the ground, pinch her waist and wait for Yu Xiaolian who fell behind for a while.

  Yu Xiaolian really admires Mrs. Sun. She can carry so many things and walk like flying. She is almost catching up with the weight training of special forces.

  Yu Xiaolian couldn't do it anymore. She felt that the two ropes on her shoulders hurt her shoulders, and she had to put her hands under the ropes.

   After stopping and stopping, the two returned to Hewanzi Village. When they entered the village, they saw several women chatting under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village.

  Some of them are holding shoe soles and are receiving shoe soles, while others are holding embroidery sheds and are doing embroidery work.

  His hands are doing work, and his mouth is not idle, talking about some things in the village recently.

  The biggest recent news in the village is that Yu Xiaolian, a person who has never been sick, got seriously ill, but did not die, and came again.

  The other one is that Lame Yu was singled out by his mother.

   Before Yu Xiaolian and Sun Shi entered, they heard what they were talking about about his family.

   "Hey, this Yu Changhe separated from his family, why didn't he pay back the money he owed me?"

   "Can I pay you back? I guess eating will be a problem in the future!"

   "No way, I lent it to their family with good intentions. The money of this family was not blown by a strong wind. If you want to ruin my money, that's impossible."

   "I also owe it to my family. When I borrowed it, I said that I would pay it back in a few days. How many days have passed? Let's go to his house to ask for money together after a while?"

   "Yes, let's go together, even if he doesn't dare not return the amount."

"It's not so good. It's a difficult time for people. When Changhe was a government servant, he helped us a lot. I want to go to you. I don't want to go. Anyway, my family is not in a hurry, so I will take a while. It's okay."

Mrs. Sun heard what they were saying from a distance, and when she and Yu Xiaolian approached, Mrs. Sun cleared her throat and said, "Aunts and sisters-in-law, I just came back from the town with my embroidery work. After this batch of embroidery work is done, you will have money in your hands, and I will definitely pay you back the money when the time comes. If you are worried, just go to my house now and let Changhe write you an IOU, so you can rest assured. "

   Although Yu Changhe hasn't studied for a few years, he can still write an IOU.

   Several young women and old women heard Mrs. Sun talking, and immediately stopped what they were doing, and looked up at Mrs. Sun.

The neighbor of the Yu family, Feng Shi, who gets along better with Sun Shi, saw that Sun Shi was carrying a pot on his body and carrying such a heavy thing in his hand, and immediately said, "Why are you carrying so many things? Put it down and have a rest, I just want to go home, give me, I'll help you get some."

  Mr. Sun put down the two jars in his hand, panting heavily, "Everyone who is willing to lend me money is just trusting me and helping me. Changhe and I will keep this love in our hearts.

  I will definitely pay back the money, but it will be a few days late. If there is an urgent need, I still have dozens of coins in hand, so I can pay it back first. "

   "No rush...no rush...my family, you can do it whenever you want."

   "My family's is the same. You can return it when you have it."

   Several women saw that Mrs. Sun was so open-minded, and expressed that they would not go to the Yu family to collect debts.

   Someone asked curiously, "The family has just been separated, and I have dozens of papers left in my hand. How much money did your mother-in-law give you?"

   Mrs. Sun brought up the two pots again, "I didn't give much. I went to town today, and there is nothing left. I'm waiting for the pot at home, so I'll go back first!"

After Sun brought Yu Xiaolian over, Feng also chased up from behind, took a jar from Sun, held it in his arms, and said as he walked, "Actually, you may not be separated from your mother-in-law. It's a bad thing. I heard that your sister-in-law who didn't come in is not a good match, but a powerful character. Maybe it's a good thing to separate.

  If you have any difficulties at home, you can come to my house. The guy in my house has already told me to pay attention to your house, just in case you have any difficulties and are embarrassed to come to the door. "

  Feng's man is called Zhao Kuo, and he and Yu Changhe were childhood playmates.

  Yu Changhe went to the town to work as a handyman, and when he got older, he was promoted to be a yamen servant. Later, he helped his son Zhao Kuo also become a yamen servant. Therefore, the relationship between Zhao Kuo and Yu Changhe has become better and better over the years.

   But the wool cannot be plucked on a sheep, and Yu Changhe has borrowed money too many times, and Yu Changhe is too embarrassed to visit the Zhao family again. Therefore, he owes some other families, but he still owes the most to the Zhao family.

  Mr. Sun pointed to the things on Yu Xiaolian's back, and said that after finishing all the embroidery work, she would be able to repay the famine of several other families, but the debt owed to the Zhao family should be slow.

   Naturally, Mrs. Feng wouldn't mind that Mrs. Sun didn't pay back the money. Her man's errand was two taels of silver a month, but Yu Changhe found it, and she always wanted to find a chance to repay it.

  At the gate of Yu's house, Yu Changhe was already waiting there.

   First took off the pannier from Yu Xiaolian who was walking in front, and then removed the cauldron from Sun's back.

  Feng Shi also put the jar on the ground, and said with a smile, "When you are doing embroidery, don't forget to call me, I like to learn new tricks, we work together, so we can have someone to talk to."

   Mrs. Sun nodded, "Tomorrow I will bring my things and go to your house to do some work."

   Mrs. Sun and Yu Changhe carried the cauldron to the backyard together. Yu Changhe dragged a lame leg and walked with great difficulty, but none of the other members of the Yu family came out to help.

   Arriving in the backyard, Yu Changhe pointed to the wooden shelf above the stove and said, "I need to build a shed, otherwise I won't be able to cook when it rains. Without a shed, I can't even in winter, it's too cold."

   Mrs. Sun took a look, and only half of the shed was built and said, "I'll build it with you in a while, let's put the pot on first, and see if it cooks well?"
