Chapter 35

On the other hand, after drinking a bowl of ginger black tea, he went to the kitchen to mix chicken food and feed it in the backyard. When Lin Mu left, she let leisurely close the door from the inside, so leisurely didn't have to worry that someone would come in suddenly.

After these days of experience, leisurely has been able to do everything, such as laundry, cooking, feeding livestock, sweeping and so on. Although Lin's mother always let leisurely have more rest, how can she see Lin's mother busy by herself.

Two sows have been fed by Lin Mu in the morning. Now we just need to feed a few chickens. The Lin family raised 13 chickens, including 11 hens and two cocks. Because of the careful feeding, these 11 hens can lay at least eight or nine eggs a day. Except for what they eat, the rest of Lin's mother praised taking them to the market to exchange some copper money to subsidize the family.

Pour the chicken food into the basin, and pick up the eggs in the chicken nest while they are eating happily. Lucky today, there are ten eggs.

After picking up the eggs, you can see that although there are chicken shed and pig shed in the backyard, there is still a lot of space. If you have the chance, you can raise another ewe. It's good to drink more milk.

Leisurely also want to do embroidery screen in the air and then do something to tie a yarn, spend what's good, earn some pocket money to subsidize the family. Lin's mother said that Enron would take the entrance examination next autumn. If she could pass, she would be serious. Compared with the hospital examination, the government examination costs more money. Moreover, if he wins the examination, it will cost less to go to the capital to participate in Chunwei. As a scholar, you can't just memorize by rote. You spend more money on going out for social activities. As a sister, you have to help.

Back to his room, leisurely will be in Shen Fu De before a palm size red sandalwood box out. In the box were scattered small beads of various colors and broken gemstones. The big ones were the size of mung beans, while the small ones were the size of rice grains. These were all saved by leisurely when he was on duty in the government. At that time, leisurely, as a big servant girl, despised these things, but now it is a good thing. The quality of the scattered jewels in this box she saved is excellent. Although she can't make big jewels, it can't be better to wear pearls. She still has some bigger beads, but she is not willing to take them out and make them into a flower. These are enough.

It took me a whole morning to wear a pair of beautiful Hibiscus pattern beads and hairpins, pile up several exquisite headdresses with gauze and satin, and make a few strings. Luozi is also different from the common one, which is the pattern of four seasons blooming and five blessings holding longevity.

At noon, leisurely under the point of noodles to eat, and in the yard to see for a while open is Yan peony, peony flowers, rest eyes, then took out the embroidery screen to continue to embroider.

When Lin's mother came back in the afternoon, she saw that the Osmanthus fragrans and leaves on the embroidery screen had already been embroidered, leaving only the most difficult pair of partridges. It's not difficult to finish the embroidery of flowers and birds, but it's much more difficult to be wonderful.

The weather is still a little hot, leisurely every time before taking the needle, you have to wash your hands with warm water. You dare not wipe any balm on your hands for fear that your palms will sweat and stain the silk thread.

Lin's mother nodded when she saw that the half embroidered golden partridge, though only in its rudiment, had a good look. Her daughter had such a good embroidery skill that she had a foothold in the future.

After several years of practice, leisurely has been more in line with the body, and the level of needlework is also higher. In Lin Mu's words, it is now leisurely embroidered out of things, a look is very aural.

Seeing Lin Mu's happy face, she poured out a cup of warm water and handed it to her mother. She asked, "but sister Yulian's marriage is settled?"

Lin's mother nodded after two drinks of water. "That's right, or I would have come back long ago. Both sides are right, and the elders have no problem. The village of the younger generation is only ten miles away from us. The two Chuang Tzu have relatives with each other. They all know the root and the bottom. Your aunt and the man's mother decided on the spot. I didn't tell you that. Of course you don't know that. We all like to see each other before we get married. In order to show the dignity of the daughter, the man usually comes to the woman's home with a gift. If the two families meet, the woman will leave the man's gift and then entertain him. If the woman doesn't have a date, she will refuse the other party's gift and deliver tea to the guests; If the man doesn't like the woman, he will leave five fish balls for the woman, which means "no chance". Like today, it's a small decision. In a few days, the man will come to give the bride price and make a big decision. After the decision is made, the marriage can't go back at will. " Leisurely suddenly realized "so it is." It seems that at this time, it's still very open, and we can have a blind date.

Seeing that her daughter was busy with her work while she was talking to herself, Mrs. Lin said painfully, "it doesn't matter if you do it slowly. Don't be tired if you embroider for such a long time every day. What's more, it's not good for your eyes to do too much. "

Leisurely said with a smile, "mother, don't worry. I know that I can do three hours' work at most every day. I get up and walk every half an hour. I can't get tired. Besides, the birthdays of Madam Hou and Miss Shen are not far away. If I don't hurry up, I'm afraid I can't finish it. After these two months, it's not too late to have a good rest. "

Lin Mu saw that she was determined to do so, so she had to go.

Although leisurely doesn't like to go out, she is mild tempered and knowledgeable. Both tingran and Yulian like to be with her very much.

It's a pity that Yulian has been engaged. It's not easy for the girl to go out. She is seventeen years old this year, and her marriage is scheduled for next autumn. She doesn't have much time to play. After all, she will start to embroider wedding clothes from now on. In addition to her own wedding dress, she had to make two sets of everyday color clothes. It's not easy to make clothes, shoes and stockings for the bridegroom, and shoes for the future parents in law and sisters in law.

That day, Lin's mother took a ride to the county to see her son. Leisurely at home, is doing embroidery work, tingran carrying a basket of melons came. As soon as I entered the door, she said with a smile, "I saw my second aunt waiting for the carriage by the side of the road in the morning. She told me that you were at home today and asked me to play with you." Leisurely took the basket in her hand, "elder sister, just come here and take things with you. How can you pick so many melons? It's very heavy. Please sit down and have a rest."

Tingran waved her hand. "Just these steps, how can we rest. This melon was just picked this morning. It's gone after picking. This melon has a thick skin. It can be kept in the cellar for a month or two. If you can't finish eating it, you can save it first. What are you doing at home? "

When you finish, you can see a new embroidered picture of pomegranate, which is being embroidered by you ran. Clusters of pomegranates are bright red, and the crystal clear pomegranate seeds are exposed in the split mouth. They are lifelike. They can't tell the true from the false when they are put together with the pomegranate tree in you ran's yard, which is really pleasing. Tingran fondled her hand and said, "I used to feel that I could hold my hand very well. As a result, I feel guilty every time I see your embroidery. No wonder your aunt asked me to learn from you all day. What you embroidered is beautiful! It's a pretty good flower. It's unconventional. Hey, where did you get it? "
