Even in a farmhouse, there is endless farm work to do all year round, and there is no work in the fields on the first and second days of the lunar new year.
Rather, it¡¯s to pay New Year¡¯s greetings and visit relatives.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Yu and Old Man Li got up at dawn and carried the wild boar along the mountain road to the town, hoping to exchange the wild boar for some money for travel expenses.
Dongqing told Jinyu to buy candles on her return trip and watched them off until they disappeared from sight.
During the first month of the first month of the new daughter-in-law¡¯s life, she would follow her husband to all her relatives¡¯ homes to pay New Year greetings. Cuizhi and Wang discussed it and planned to wait for Jin Yu to come back and ask Jin Yu to bring Holly to pay New Year greetings.
Wang and Cuizhi were going to visit some friends' houses, and asked Dongqing if she wanted to go with them so that they could get to know the people nearby.
Dongqing was still thinking about the unfinished shoes, so she rejected Cuizhi's kindness. She would stay here for a long time, and the people nearby would not run away, so she would gradually become familiar with them.
Cuizhi was a little suspicious and asked Dagou to stay at home. Although Cuizhi didn't say it openly, everyone knew it. She just wanted Dagou to prevent Dongqing from making small moves.
Dongqing said nothing, turned around and went back to her room, took out the shoe upper cloth and started embroidering.
Fortunately, she only planned to embroider some simple patterns and colors, which didn't take much time. By the beginning of Youshi, as the sun was setting, two copies of the same pattern had been embroidered on the blue cloth.
After the relatively complicated soles and upper colors are finished, all that remains is to stick the upper fabric on several layers of lining, cut it into an upper, sew it on the sole, and then give it to Cuizhi.
Opening the door and going out, Dagou was chatting with some men who came to visit him. When he saw Dongqing coming out, some of them had teasing looks on their faces, "Hey, I can't tell, your idiot brother is quite lucky."
The big dog smiled heartily, "Seriously, my brother is no longer stupid. This is my sister-in-law Dongqing. Not only is she a good looker, she is also a good cook. I will stay here to eat for a while and try my sister-in-law's craftsmanship."
Talking to Dongqing, "It's almost time for dinner, Niang and Cui Zhi haven't returned yet. I don't know if I can't come back to eat.
"Okay." Dongqing responded, turned around and entered the kitchen room, and couldn't help but think of Jin Yu. If she were Li Jinyu, she would definitely cook and entertain guests.
People often say that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. Let alone a gentleman, all men do not bother to cook and wash clothes. They naturally think that it is a woman's job.
In this deep ravine, women have to follow men to the fields during the day, and when they return home, they have to boil water and cook to serve men.
She sighed, since when did every little thing remind her of Li Jinyu? I don¡¯t know where Li Jinyu and Old Man Li went at this time.
Dongqing lit up the fire and added water to the steamer, but did not start cooking directly.
Instead, take a pinch of cornmeal, add water to boil it into a slime, go back to the house and glue several layers of cloth together, and finally stick the embroidered shoe upper cloth upright.
Looking at the pasted cloth shell, Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief and let it dry for a while. According to this progress, the upper can be cut and sewn tomorrow.
At the end of the Youshi period, Dongqing prepared dinner, but Cuizhi and Wang did not come back. It seemed that they must have dined at someone else's house. These were the only few days in the year where they could indulge.
After dinner, Dongqing cleaned up the dishes and cooked the pheasant intestines that she had put away yesterday for the three wolves to eat.
The three wolves are growing very fast, and the color of their fur seems to be slowly fading, from the original gray to gray, looking fluffy and elegant.
Dongqing touched the head of the three wolves. The three wolves raised their eyes. Their eyes were still dull, but they moved this way and leaned lightly on the corner of Dongqing's skirt.
Looking at the movements of the three wolves, Holly couldn't help but feel a little more affectionate, caressing the smooth fur, "Be good, three wolves."
Since there were no candles in the house, the house became dark when the sky darkened. Holly had nothing to do, so she had to wash up and lie down on the bed while the sky was not completely dark.
Dongqing lay flat on the bed, staring directly into the darkness. Human dependence frightened her. It had only been a few days, and without Jin Yu beside her, she felt a little empty.
She fell asleep unconsciously, and Holly still didn't go out the next day. Cuizhi, who had gone out to visit in the evening, turned around, and Holly handed a new pair of embroidered shoes in front of Cuizhi.
"Sister-in-law, you gave me your shoes, this pair is for you."
Except for the upper cloth, which is a new cloth specially bought by Dongqing, the soles and inner layer are all made from Li Ergou¡¯s old clothes that were too worn out to be worn anymore, so the shoes have a brown bottom and a green surface.
The cyan upper is sporadically embroidered with small white magnolias, which are surrounded by a few emerald green leaves and vines.
ShoesLala's homely routine, as expected, many people saw the shoes on Cuizhi's feet at a glance.
There are also some people who have a biased mentality and pretend not to see it when they see it. Don¡¯t you just want to wear it and let others praise you? Then I just pretended not to see it.
Cuizhi received a job on her first day. It was Li, the village chief¡¯s eldest daughter-in-law. She was preparing fabrics to make new shoes when she saw the exquisite and refined shoes on Cuizhi¡¯s feet.
The conditions of the village chief¡¯s family are relatively better. The houses are not thatched houses but made of gray tiles. Only two families in Qingshuigou can live in tile-roofed houses.
The village chief¡¯s daughters-in-law are not economical. Since the whole family supports Chen Junran in the county school, of course they cannot afford to treat them badly and have to make clothes and shoes several times a year.
Mrs. Li handed the shoe upper fabric to Cuizhi and took out a small cloth bag, "I didn't buy silk thread, so I asked her to pad it first. The embroidery is just like your pair. How much does it cost to embroider only?"
Although there was no way for her mother-in-law to control it, under the noses of her other two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Li couldn¡¯t hide much private money, so she wouldn¡¯t even have to pay for the soles and uppers of her shoes to be made by others.
She was going to put the soles and make the uppers herself, and when the time came, she would take back the embroidered upper cloth and put it on.
Cuizhi was stunned. Dongqing only told her that a pair of shoes cost forty cents, and she could accept a counter-offer of thirty cents. She didn't say how much embroidery would be done.
Cuizhi rolled his eyes, "Twenty Wen, you know embroidery is very hard on the eyes, and it also requires holly to produce silk thread."
