Chapter 84 Heartache (Second update)

Most of them are coarse cloth mixed with linen or pure cotton fine cloth, and the colors are also a few common colors.

But for ordinary farmers, even if it is such a monotonous color, it is a happy thing to take it back and make new clothes.

The four carrot heads happily followed Su Mulan to choose the color they wanted.

According to their preferences and the cloth seller's size suggestions, Su Mulan put on new clothes for the four carrot heads and herself. She also specifically asked the cloth seller to pull them on half a foot longer so that she could go back and give them to the four. Make your child two more pairs of shoes.

“You are a mother who cares so much about your children that you are willing to make shoes for them.” The cloth seller was a woman who was five or six years older than Su Mulan. She said with a smile while measuring the cloth.

Farmer children run around all day long, and their shoes are more expensive than their clothes.

And the soles of shoes are mostly mille-feuille. Although most of them are made of old unused cloth dipped in paste and twisted layer by layer, you still have to have a place to get this old cloth. It is originally used to mend clothes. Many people think that using cloth, even old cloth, to paste the soles of shoes is a waste of cloth.

What's more, they are shoes worn by children. Feet grow so fast that the shoes will become smaller after less than a year. Not to mention the cost of fabrics, making shoes is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, which delays farm work. Therefore, many families wear straw sandals for their children. , only when it was really cold, did I put on cloth shoes and cotton shoes.

With someone like Su Mulan who doesn't look like a well-off family, this kind of behavior is extremely outstanding and attracts attention.

"Mom loves us." Bai Zhuye added at the side.

“Mother can see it.” The woman saw how cute the white bamboo leaves were, and there was a liveliness in her eyes when she spoke. She reached out and patted her little head, “Your mother treats you very well.”

"Sister, looking at you carrying so many bamboo baskets, I guess you have just returned from selling things. It is not easy for one person to take care of so many children. I just bought so much cloth, so take these scraps of cloth back and paste them. The soles are just patched and all, the cloth looks torn, they are just the corners left from the clothes, they are all new. "

“Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Su Mulan was not polite when there were gifts for him. After thanking him, he wrapped all the cloths, put them in the bamboo basket, and led the four children to buy other things.

Brown sugar, green salt for brushing teeth, thread for sewing clothes... After buying various miscellaneous things, Su Mulan went to the shop to buy the hairpins she said she would buy for them last time.

"Mother." Bai Shuiliu pulled her sleeve, "I was thinking, we have all torn off cloth to make new clothes, so don't buy this flower."

“It’s not a festival, so there’s no need to wear a headdress. Our family eats meat because we don’t dare to eat it in the courtyard, so it’s not appropriate to go out and show off wearing a headdress.”

“Yes, mother.” Bai Lixia also agreed.

Having just spent a lot of money on fabrics and other things, Bai Lixia felt that it was not easy for Su Mulan to make money, and she was not willing to spend any more money on useless things like hair extensions.

“Mom, I don’t want a haircut either, new clothes are enough.” Bai Zhuye raised her little face.

Seeing that the three daughters said this, and thinking about the current situation at home, Su Mulan thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait until the Chinese New Year to buy it."
