Tang Laifu and Tang Baishan were still drinking, Tang Shaozheng and the village chief were also invited, Xu Jinfeng cooked a table of delicious dishes, Tang Laijin also came back, the women had already eaten, and a few men were drinking and chatting about gossip.
Xu Jinfeng just fed the pigs and took the soles of their shoes. Tang Laifeng and Zhang Manyue were also taking the soles of their shoes. At this time, the housewife didn't stop when she opened her eyes. All had to be made, especially the three brothers Tang Aijun, whose feet were big and heavy, and walking was like beating gongs and drums.
"Sister-in-law, are Aijun's feet growing again?" Tang Laifeng asked with a smile.
She has been raised at home for two months. Tang Laifeng's energy has improved significantly, her complexion is ruddy, she has gained a lot of weight, and her belly is big and pointed. A few days ago, she went to the town health center for an obstetric examination, and all the data were not bad, the doctor said. As long as there are no surprises, production should be fine.
"No, his feet grow the fastest, like pig's trotters. He has one foot for half a year, and it's too late to make shoes."
Although Xu Jinfeng was disgusted, there was a smile on her face, and she was a little proud. Her son is tall and strong, and she will definitely be able to support a good family in the future, even these shoes... it really cost a lot.
I took an awl and poked a hole in the thick sole of the shoe. I rubbed a thick needle into my hair a few times, and it went into the hole with ease. The end of the needle was hooked with a hemp rope, and then I pulled it hard, and the sole of the shoe became loose. There is an extra light brown line, and the entire sole is covered with hemp rope. It is densely packed, and the sole is strong. This is the most simple Melaleuca sole.
The soles of the shoes are pasted with rags, the hemp ropes are rubbed with ramie leather, and the shoes are cut by themselves. Although rural women are not much literate, they are very ingenious and do not need to report the size. How big, the shoes made are absolutely no more and no less, especially fit.
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, aunt and sister-in-law held the soles of their shoes in an orderly manner, talking about the children at home, while the men were drinking and bragging. Under the dim light, it was the simple and warm daily life of ordinary people at this time.
"Grandma, Mommy, Auntie."
Tang Xiaonan ran in, followed by Tang Aijun, Xu Jinfeng said angrily, "I asked you to send the pig liver, everyone is gone, hurry up and eat."
"I ate it at Brother Huo's house. Brother Huo gave him a rabbit. Mom, let's eat a rabbit tomorrow."
Tang Xiaonan was lying on Xu Jinfeng's lap, Xu Jinfeng put down the sole and needle, afraid of poking her daughter, she put one arm around Tang Xiaonan and looked at her lovingly. Seeing that there was oil on her mouth, she wiped it off with her hand.
"Okay, I'll burn a rabbit for you tomorrow."
Xu Jinfeng looked at the plump rabbit with satisfaction. It must weigh seven or eight pounds. Huo Jinzhi's child is really capable.
"This rabbit is really fat, was the child of the Huo family beaten?" Zhang Manyue was also satisfied, such a fat rabbit could eat for half a month.
Tang Xiaonan nodded, "Brother Huo beat two, and the bigger one is for me."
She looked at Tang Laifeng again and said with a smile, "Auntie, the two legs in the back are for the little brother to eat."
"I can't eat it, I want to have a mouth." Zhang Manyue and Xu Jinfeng stopped in unison.
Pregnant women can't eat many things, and children are ignorant, but they know it.
Tang Xiaonan laughed dumbly, and asked deliberately, "Why does the president open his mouth?"
"Isn't a rabbit just a mouthful, if it eats your brother, it will become a mouthful." Zhang Manyue explained patiently, this is a rule handed down by the old man, and she firmly believes it.
Tang Xiaonan couldn't help laughing, and asked solemnly, "The aunt has eaten so much chicken, will the little brother have a sharp mouth?"
