The Landlord And His Wife

Liu Hong actually likes it very much! It's all girls, who doesn't like this kind of stuff? Although it was useless in the eyes of the country people, she still liked it very much, and she blushed when she heard it: "Then I will accept it with the cheek."

He Ruyu nodded with a smile: "That's right, we don't even know how to thank you."

The sisters whispered and laughed, while Liu Xuer looked at the handkerchief over and over again, and asked, "Auntie, how many ten dozen handkerchiefs are there?"

"A dozen of ten, ten dozen is a hundred, I make fifty by myself."

"Auntie, do you want to make fifty pieces a season? How many handkerchiefs can you embroider in a day?"

"In the past, it was two or three days, and basically this one was sent away, and the next one started. I can't do any other work at home. Now it's better, I buy it. I have a large embroidery stand, and I can embroider five pieces at the same time, without having to change the thread all the time, so it is much faster, and five handkerchiefs can basically be repaired in two or three days.”

Liu Hong was very impressed: "Yo, haven't you become a craft?"

He Ruyu smiled and shook her head: "I can't count! It's far worse, then the daughter-in-law counts."

"Fifty handkerchiefs, how much are you handmade? Auntie?" Liu Xuer asked again.

Liu Hong smiled and said angrily: "Why do you ask everything?!"

He Ruyu smiled: "It's okay, what else is there to hide from you? The handmade money for a season is 2 taels of silver."

Liu Hong was taken aback: "Yo, two taels per season, that's a lot of money."

Liu Xu'er said: "Is it going to cost money? No, it's an embroidery stand?"

Liu Hong was taken aback immediately. He Ruyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, it will cost money, but this is a long-term life, and it is much stronger to say that I don't need to show my face."

"Does the embroidery stand cost several taels of silver?" Liu Xuer asked again.

This time, even He Ruyu couldn't bear it anymore, the two laughed together, Liu Hong laughed, "Dare you, girl, you must calculate how much money your aunt earned. ?"

Catkins laughs.

He Ruyu smiled and said, "I have been doing it for more than a year, and I have earned a dozen taels of silver, but an embroidery stand costs more than three taels. I don't need to provide the embroidery threads and materials, but I have to prepare the embroidery needles by myself. Speaking of which, I spent more than one or two silvers to buy embroidery needles, and it is only five or six taels for my family."

"Oh! This is very good! Much better than me!" Liu Hong said enviously: "You are a year younger than me!"

He Ruyu said: "I originally had this job, and I also wanted to teach the eldest sister and you to make this money together, but it's not me..."

Liu Hong certainly knows! Therefore, before she could finish speaking, she nodded again and again: "Of course not, the southern daughter-in-law taught you because she has a good relationship with you, and you are teaching others, so it's not appropriate! Besides, two people are doing this work separately. It's not the same thing to do it with four people!"

He Ruyu meant this, nodded: "That's right, so..."

Liu Xuer asked He Ruyu with a smile: "Auntie, which big family is that?"

"It's the old family in the county seat. The master is in business. I heard that their business is all over the capital!"

Liu Hong was stunned.

I asked what I should ask, and Liu Xuer stopped talking here, just studying the handkerchief, thinking about something quickly.

The grass, when the time comes alive with wheat bran, is chicken food.

I did all the work at home, and the four brothers and sisters went back.

In the next few days, Liu Xuer didn't even need to cook rice, because when He Ruyu left, he had already steamed the steamed buns and rolled the noodles. Just be hot.

After a few days, both Liu Changgeng and He Shi were used to healing on the kang. Mr. He took out the cotton cloth that he had bought at Jishang before, and refilled the cotton pants for Liu Shu and Liu Lin. Fortunately, this work could be done by sitting on the kang, which was better than being idle.

Liu Xuer was anxious when she saw her father Liu Changgeng.

Small and small, the kind you can hold in your arms.

Liu Changgeng is still strange: "What are you doing with this little thing?"

Liu Xuer said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet, but it's always useful."

Liu Changgeng is also idle when he is idle. It is best to do some work, so he is very interested in making small boxes for Liu Xuer. I saw two people sitting on the west side of the kang and the other on the east side of the kang, each busy.

Liu Xuer went back to Shicheng's house and Shichengniang to learn how to play liaison.

In November, the weather is very cold, and every household starts to burn the kang. Liu Xuer's two rabbits also grew up quickly.

It has grown into a big rabbit in one month, and the rabbit hair also grows rapidly with their body growth.

"Fortunately, this river is long, and there are alfalfa grass along the river, and some milkwort, dandelion and other rabbits also eat it, but now there are fewer and fewer, and we have to find a way."

Liu Xuer was at Shicheng's house that day, and discussed with Shicheng while chatting, but Shicheng's mother was not in the house.

Shi Cheng frowned and said, "Xu'er, does your family grow radishes?"

Liu Xuer was stunned: "Radish?" She suddenly remembered, whether it is the radish leaves or the radish itself, rabbits love to eat it! She said in surprise: "Yes! Why didn't I think of..."

But then he had a bitter face: "But I don't know, my father must be reluctant to grow vegetables in my house, and he must have to grow food. Besides, the rabbit in front of me is already eating enough. I'm very nervous and can't wait until next year."

Shicheng shook his head: "You really don't know anything about farming! You don't need to plant it in your fields. You have a big yard now, and the backyard is full of weeds. Tell your brother to Just open a field at the back of the house and come out. Now is the time to plant winter radishes, and we have seeds in our house. But even if it is planted now, it is impossible to harvest quickly. If the rabbits want to eat the radishes, they will have to wait until next year."

Liu Xuer heard a move in her heart, and said with a smile: "That's okay! The grass can be maintained for the time being, but of course you have to take a long-term perspective!"

Shi Cheng smiled and nodded: "That's it, let's plant winter radishes in our vegetable field again, I grabbed a handful of seeds, and you take them with you when you leave, and ask your brother to turn the ground and plant them, Your father must understand!"

When she came out of Shicheng's house that day, Liu Xuer held the seeds of winter radish and an apple sapling in her hand. This apple sapling was asked by Shi Cheng when he followed his father to inspect the apple orchard.

Note that apple saplings are not so easy to get, even if Shicheng has an apple orchard, but there are many saplings.

Even if Shicheng is the young master of the family, he can't just go to the apple saplings raised in the field and pull them up. This sapling is still not growing well. The gardener felt that it should not be able to support it and planned to throw it away. Shicheng asked for it and asked Liu Xuer to try it at home.

Seeing the things Liu Xuer brought home, Liu Changgeng was taken aback: "Where did these come from? How can you have the money to buy these things?"

Liu Xuer said that it was given by Shicheng: "The apple saplings are not good, their gardeners have thrown them away, and Shicheng picked them up again. A big brother, called a big brother."

The willow came over and looked at the seeds and apple saplings seriously, and said, "Dad, as Xuer said, plant it at the back of the house, I think it can be done! Winter radish, I remember you planted before."

Liu Changgeng thought for a while and nodded: "It has been planted, and now is indeed the time, but," he looked at his son: "It is very tiring to turn the ground!"

The willow tree hurriedly said: "I'm not afraid of being tired! I can do it."

Liu Lin also rushed over: "I can do it too, my brother and I are together!"

He looked at the two children and her eyes were red. Now she is injured and can't do anything. Instead, she threw away her neat temperament and became sentimental, but Liu Xuer also I know, mother is doing this entirely because she can't move now. It is estimated that when she can get off the kang, she will be in a hurry again, but she is not worried.

Here, Liu Changgeng and Liu Shu and Liu Lin talked about how to dig a pit, how to plant a plant, etc. Liu Shu and Liu Lin went to the back of the house to dig the ground that day.

Liu Xuer looked at it for a while, and felt that she was still thinking simple.

Kung fu, the position of the tiger's mouth on Liu Shu and Liu Lin's hands, all blisters. But the ground didn't turn up much at all, even if it was so shallow, it had to be turned deep.

Liu Xuer was distressed and anxious, after thinking about it, she decided to seek help from the fourth uncle, because there was a lot of work for a while, and the fourth uncle did not go out to work.

The family members, those who are not good to her will be remembered in their hearts, and those who are good to them will also be in their hearts, and when they are capable, they will repay them one by one.

Thinking like this, I made an excuse, saying that I was going to ask the fourth uncle how the apple saplings were planted. This Liu Changgeng didn't understand either, but Liu Changshi was in the same family last year. I do odd jobs in the apple orchard, so I should know a little bit about it.

Liu Changgeng and He Shi of course nodded, but they just told her to be careful on the road and come back early. Liu Xuer came to the old house.

Liu Xuer walked to the door of the house of her father and her mother, and was about to shout when she heard a voice from inside: "Why can't you say it! Why can't you say it?! The family has been separated, Father and mother have subsidized seven or eight taels of silver over there! Why can't I say it? I'm going to suffer this loss and endure this anger?!" It was Ma's voice!

Little Cattle stood in surprise.

From the room came Liu Changqi's anger: "Shut up for me! Haven't been beaten enough?!"

Liu Gao's voice is not small: "You yourself said that the family has been split! I love to post my money to whoever! Can you manage it? There is such a thing in the world The daughter-in-law in turn teaches the in-laws how to behave?!"

Liu Changshi's voice shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, don't be unreasonable! That day, everyone in the village without any relatives and no reason could help, but the one who was your aunt didn't even show your face! What are you doing? So big?!"
