Chapter 28 Candles with Thick Arms of Babies

"Okay, you guys don't talk! Listen to your elder sister!" Wang Cuihua looked at the three girls and laughed.

This third girl has the most upright temper, greedy mouth, and a dumber brain than all her brothers and sisters, but she is stupid and cute.

"Xiaoshan Xiaochuan go and carry the sack brought back by the eldest sister!" The children are very sensible, and if Bai Xue brings back something, as long as she doesn't bring it to the children, they will not rummage.

When cooking in the afternoon, she took out the steamed buns, meat, cabbage, and milk powder, and now there are twists and needles left in it. There are still four sets of textbooks that are the heaviest. Fortunately, I met Zhang Yuan today, otherwise she must be exhausted after reciting them.

Soon, the two younger brothers brought the sack over.

"Mom, I bought ten feet of cotton cloth with some flaws. I didn't ask for a ticket. The ten feet were made of burlap. The old lady asked me to take it back to sew a cloth bag for her. She said it was to hold grain and sew it into a catty bag. Five catties of cloth bags, one penny for each sewing. I thought, I only go to town every other day, and I can make money by sewing when I have time, so I took it back.”

"Ah, it's a pity that such fine linen is used to sew grain bags, and it would be great to make clothes!" Wang Cuihua put the child down to sleep, leaned over to have a look, and said regretfully.

"Mom, I bought these ten feet of cotton cloth. Let's make a coat each. We also have new clothes to wear during the New Year, don't we? Also! Have you seen the cotton shoes I'm wearing? The old lady's son entrusted someone to buy them. I bought a new style from a big city, but it didn’t fit my feet, so I bought it, and I dragged him to buy another pair for our family.” Bai Xue pointed to the shoes she was wearing to show her family .

"Sister, I've seen your shoes a long time ago, they are so pretty, and they should be very warm, right?" Bai Ruyun looked at her shoes and said.

"Well, it's very warm, and your feet don't freeze when you walk in the snow. You can only buy it in big cities! But soon, each of you will have a pair!" Bai Xue patted the second sister's head and said.

"But how much does it cost?"

"Don't worry, big sister is rich now!" Bai Xue patted her chest, feeling that she has become a lot naive after wearing this age.

"There are still twists here, but I'm full at night, so I'll save this for tomorrow morning!" Bai Xue also took out the twists, and poured out all the books in the sack.

The little ones looked over, but no one said that they should eat now. It is not easy for them to eat so full, and they are also full and have no stomach to eat.

"Sister, are these textbooks for us?" Bai Rushan flipped through the things that came out, holding the textbook in his hand and looking at it.

"Yes, the first grade belongs to your two older sisters, and the third grade belongs to both of you! From now on, stay at home and have nothing to do. I will send you four to school after the new year starts!" Bai Xue told them.

"But grandma..." Bai Rushan was worried.

"The three of you go to study! I'll stay at home to protect you, and when grandma comes, I'll beat you out!" Bai Ruchuan stopped holding his chest.

Snapped…

"Are you capable? Still calling out? That's an elder, how can you marry a wife after your reputation is bad?" Bai Ruchuan shrank his neck when he was slapped on the head by Bai Daliang.

"Okay, I have a way to deal with grandma! You should study hard, and you will be able to support your parents and elder sister in the future!" Bai Xue looked at Bai Ruchuan who had been slapped with a funny face.

"Xiaoxue! This ten-foot cloth is enough to make a coat for each of you, and Mom will start making it for you tomorrow!" Wang Cuihua is concerned about the cloth, and is very rare when she takes the black and white threads. Get up, ask Bai Daliang to help, and start to untie the thread.

But it was already dark at this time, Bai Xue walked out, and soon came out with the red candle that was taken out and put into the space before. Lighted it with a match and brought it in.

"This is? A candle?" Wang Cuihua saw the candle brought in by Bai Xue at a glance, and the others were still flipping through the books.

However, when the light was so bright, they all raised their heads to look at it, each of them was extremely surprised.

"That's right! I saved the old lady's last time and asked me to put it away. Mom, you can't see clearly because the thread is so dark. You're confinement. It's not good for your eyes!" Bai Xue said and put the candle on the kang table. A few drops of wax oil were put on it.

"This candle is really thick and so long, it's the first time I've seen it!" Wang Cuihua wondered?

"Our family actually uses candles. It would be great if you had this candle on the day you gave birth!" Bai Daliang sighed while helping Wang Cuihua stretch the thread with two hands.

"Isn't it? This candle is much easier to use than a kerosene lamp. There is no oily smoke and it doesn't irritate the eyes! I can sew clothes for a few children at night! It's great!" The couple were talking?

The little ones have already taken a book and read it, and they are very surprised by the candlelight, sighing, they can read a book at night...

Bai Xue put away the sack, hearing the joy of her parents and younger siblings, she felt a sense of happiness spontaneously.

It's only been a few days since she came here, and she gradually got the feeling of blending in and getting used to it.

"Mom, you can't sew clothes! You're still in confinement! Don't you have eyes? I'll send the cloth and needlework to my second aunt tomorrow to help us sew. Give her some money or food. Their life is not easy. Just take it as a favor for them, second uncle's temperament, if I send it directly, he will definitely not want it, but it will be different if we ask them for something! Just return the ten yuan!"

Bai Xue suddenly remembered that the ten yuan that had been placed alone in the supermarket counter hadn't been returned to the second uncle yet.

Before she thought simply, and said that ten yuan would pay them back the food, but after thinking about it, this is food stamps and money, and the second uncle is straightforward, and he doesn't want to take advantage of them, so it's better to help indirectly.

"Xiaoxue is right. The second child is straightforward and will not take advantage of us. It will be different if her second aunt helps to sew clothes and give some food! It is the child who is thoughtful! You just sit on the confinement! Just take good care of your body and take care of your children!" Bai Daliang nodded in agreement.

This day seems to be getting better, and it's all thanks to the eldest daughter!

"Xiao Xue, why don't you give your second aunt the job of sewing bags! You can earn ten yuan a month, so you can rest when you stay at home. It's tiring to walk all the way back and forth!" Wang Cuihua draws inferences from one instance.

She told the second sister-in-law that they have similar personalities. Unlike the third sister-in-law, they like to take advantage, are aggressive, and can calculate.

"Okay! Then I'll go find my second aunt tomorrow! I still have the sorghum rice and cornmeal that my father brought back, so send some to them! I'll buy them when I go to town!"

"Xiaoxue! Dad put away the one hundred yuan, and you can put the remaining fifty yuan and these tickets away! You can go to the town the next day and look at the flowers by yourself. It's almost Chinese New Year. Can you give Buy a suit of clothes for yourself! You are almost sixteen years old, look, your cotton clothes and trousers are a section too small!" Bai Daliang pushed over the fifty yuan and ticket.

He put away the one hundred yuan, and it is estimated that tomorrow he will find a place to hide the money.

It is estimated that her father has not seen the ten big tickets at the same time.

"Dad, I see that there are clothes or cotton cloths that don't cost tickets and I bought them back. The cotton clothes and trousers of my younger brother and sister are also old, and the two of you are no longer warm, and there are these bedding!"

Bai Xue said and took the money back.
