    Then it snowed heavily for three days, and the world outside was covered in snow, which was exceptionally beautiful.  But at this moment, Xin Hu could only look at this beauty and sigh, unable to appreciate it at all.  Because it is too cold and the conditions here are so bad, life is really difficult.  At this time, she would rather it was summer, at least she wouldn't have to worry about getting cold.

    Dalang¡¯s daily job is to sweep snow. After breakfast every day, he and Xin Hu will sweep the snow all the way to the pond.  Because everyone has to go here to use water. Although snow can be used, the snow must be turned into water before it can be used.  The most important thing is that they have to come here to get lotus roots to eat back.  Moreover, a large family needs a lot of water a day to eat, drink, and wash themselves.  Therefore, this road cannot be completely covered by heavy snow.

    The strange thing is that the pond is not completely frozen, only a thin layer of ice is formed. Otherwise, they would have to cut the ice layer first to use water.

    Aunt Liu once participated in clearing snow, but was persuaded to leave by Dalang and Xinhu.

    "You can go home and clean up. We have nothing to do anyway. It doesn't take three people to do this job."

    Aunt Liu thought about it, she really had a lot of things to do at home, so she accepted their favor.  Fortunately, now, because Xinhu basically doesn't know how to sew clothes and shoes, she will have many opportunities to return the favor to these children in the future.

    "Thank you very much. Ah Hu, come to my house to learn needlework when you have time."

    "Okay." Xin Hu nodded, waved his hand at her, picked up the broom in his hand, and swept forward vigorously.  She had to finish cleaning quickly and go home to bake shoes.  How long can these ordinary cloth shoes last on the snow?

    After she swept the snow every day, she dried her shoes and went to Xiao Shitou's house to learn needlework.  Let's start with socks. Aunt Liu first selected a relatively complete piece of old cloth and asked her to learn how to cut socks.  After cutting, how to sew the first pair of socks.  She also completed it under the guidance of Aunt Zhang.

    Making socks is not that difficult. It just needs to be cut out first. Aunt Zhang was on hand to guide her. It took Xinhu a while to sew a pair of socks, although Aunt Liu was very dissatisfied.

    But Aunt Zhang said: "The first time I learned it, it was pretty good. If I make another pair tomorrow, it will definitely look much better."

    "That's it." Xin Hu looked at the socks in his hands very proudly. Anyway, now he had real socks to wear.  For this pair of socks, the one made first is obviously worse than the one made later. It is obvious that Xinhu's sewing level is improving.  As long as there is progress, Xinhu still has confidence in himself.

    After finishing this pair of socks, Xin Hu felt that his sewing work for the day was completed.  To be honest, she didn't like doing moneymaking work. It was very tiring and her eyes were tired. If it wasn't necessary, she really wasn't willing to learn it.  After only studying for a few days, she found it extremely boring.  But I have no choice but to learn.  Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang are both good teachers, and Aunt Liu is also strict with her requirements. Xinhu has to bite the bullet every day and do some work for himself before coming to their house to learn needlework. He has no choice but to do it in this place.  Yes, but no.

    After making two pairs of socks, Aunt Liu was ready to teach her how to make shoes.  In the past two days, Aunt Liu has found some old clothes at home that are no longer needed, and has taken them out, washed them, and put them aside for later use.  Her old clothes are still very new, and her shoes are excellent.  As for the new fabric for the shoe uppers, Aunt Liu directly disassembled an 80% new dress of hers, because the fabric of this dress was very strong and the color was suitable.

    "It would be nice if I brought some fabric with me." Aunt Liu said as she took off her clothes.

    "Well, if we have a lot of fabric, we can make clothes for the child. Look at what she is wearing. You can't tell the difference between male and female." Aunt Zhang shook her head. Xinhu was wearing Dalang's clothes.  She made it herself out of crappy female red. It's already good enough to be wearable. How could she expect anything else?

    Xin Hu also knows that her clothes are ugly, but right now she can't care about whether they look good or not.  So she wore such clothes every day, looking like she had nothing to do, which made Aunt Zhang stare at her clothes for a long time every time, wishing she could take them off and change them.

    On this day, Xin Hu finally understood what Aunt Zhang meant, and turned around to talk to Dalang.

    Dalang said: "This is not easy. Let's pick out a set of clothes and let Aunt Liu change it for you. You always wear my clothes, which are a little inappropriate. There are so many women's clothes here, and it's not just yours."  One person can wear it. Dabaoping'er and I won't have to worry about clothes in two years, and I have money in my hands. It won't be a big deal to buy cloth to make new clothes in the future."

    With that said, Dalang opened the closet and put theThey took out all the women's clothes and let Xinhu choose.  Naturally, Xinhu would not choose clothes with bright colors and particularly shiny materials. She was also embarrassed to choose clothes from Dalang's mother, as she wanted to leave Dalang in his thoughts.  Xin Hu picked and chose, and finally chose a lake blue outer coat and a pair of green thick trousers.

    "What do you think of these two items?" Xin Hu asked.  There are only these two pieces of clothing. The materials are the worst, but they are still 60-70% new.  Both pieces are made of cotton and are very soft.

    "It's okay." Dalang nodded casually, he didn't understand this at all.  Anyway, these women's clothes can only be worn by Xin Hu at present.  He naturally relied on Xinhu's own preferences.

    So, Xin Hu took the clothes and came to Xiao Shitou¡¯s house.

    Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu looked at these two clothes and expressed satisfaction. Aunt Liu immediately said: "I can change you into suitable clothes."

    They thought these clothes were left by Xinhu's mother, so they were embarrassed to ask. Xinhu pretended not to understand and said, "I still have a few old clothes at home. Give me a new one first, and keep the others for later."  Wear it slowly."

    "That's the truth. Good things should be used slowly." Aunt Liu said and nodded.

    She said that the adult in the family passed away, but he didn¡¯t leave anything behind, so it couldn¡¯t be justified.  Seeing that Xin Hu could still change her mother's clothes, she felt it was normal.  Moreover, although this dress is not very good in their eyes, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is indeed pretty good.  There isn't a single patch, it's still six to seven percent new, and it's still made of cotton.  It is understandable that Ah Hu and the others are reluctant to take out such a good thing and mess around with it themselves.

    With the help of Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang, the process of altering two pieces of clothing was completed in one day.  Aunt Liu also said of some of the cut fabrics: "These can be used to make shoes, or you can keep them and reattach them when the clothes are shorter."

    "Then let's make two pairs of shoes. I don't have shoes that fit my feet." Xin Hu's eyes lit up and he said quickly.

    Although it is a tailor-made dress, Aunt Liu still leaves a little more room. Even if she grows taller next year, she can still wear it if she puts it aside.  So Xinhu decided to make shoes from the remaining fabrics. Firstly, he was in great need of shoes. Secondly, after wearing the clothes for a year or two, the fabrics would no longer fit when they were spliced ??together, and there would be an obvious difference between old and new.  .

    ¡°Besides, there are a lot of women¡¯s clothes at home, and she can¡¯t finish them all just for her to wear.  When the weather gets warmer in spring, she will still choose two more sets of clothes and make them her own.  Therefore, this kind of habit of poor families, which is three years old for three years, and mended for another three years, is completely unnecessary in their families.  Just like the clothes of Dalang, Ping'er and Dabao, they will be enough to wear them in one or two years.  Besides, isn't there a big man who keeps saying that he still has money in his hand?  She believes that in two years' time, their family will no longer be like it is now, and life will get better and better.

    Xin Hu put on new clothes, which were tailor-made. After putting them on, Aunt Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "This makes it look like a girl's home. You can't even tell if you wear something that's neither male nor female every day."  She¡¯s a little girl.¡±

    Putting on the clothes that fit well, Xin Hu himself felt much more comfortable, and he was busy thanking the two adults.

    "We'll start learning how to make shoes tomorrow. We have to paste the shells first. You can come over early tomorrow." Aunt Liu said.

    Xinhu agreed, put on new clothes that fit him and went home.

    Sure enough, Dalang was very satisfied when he saw this, and said: "This outfit looks good. How about choosing another one to change? There are many anyway."

    "No need." Xin Hu said, she didn't care about new clothes. Now she doesn't even have a full stomach. Who would care about these things, as long as she has clothes to wear.

    "It's up to you. Anyway, you can wear those women's clothes however you want. No one in the family can wear them." Dalang smiled and said.

    "That's right, but don't you always say that you have money? Why should I keep wearing these remade old clothes of others? I will wear new clothes in the future, my own new clothes." Xin Hu joked.

    "Okay, what does this mean? We have enough money to make a few sets of clothes. Our family is not short of it." Dalang also joked.

    ¡°It¡¯s not his boast, ten taels of silver is enough to make several ordinary cotton clothes for Xin Hu.  He really didn't notice the ten taels of silver.  However, now, in this place, there is no place to spend money.  Otherwise, he would have gone to buy food and everything they needed right now.

    Ping'er and Dabao watched the two elders joking happily, and they also started to have fun. The four members of the family were laughing and joking in the kitchen.  Ping'er also followed suit: "I also want to make new clothes."

    He has enough clothes at the moment, not to mention the clothes he wears for personal use. These clothes are a bit better than the clothes Xinhu himself wears, although they are also patched.  However, because it was too cold, Dalang also gave him a thick coat to wear. Although it was a little bigger, it was cold because it was longer and still warm. When everyone saw him wearing such clothes,  You won't feel uncomfortable either.  Now, when he said it, both Xinhu and Dalang thought about it and felt that he should also make new clothes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)2 points, although it is also patched.  However, because it was too cold, Dalang also gave him a thick coat to wear.
