Chapter 75 Make the girl angry

After dinner, Zhu Yu, who was ordered by the Yao family not to get close to the spinning wheel and loom, could only squat helplessly and watch Populus euphratica and Hu Chunsheng help people adjust the new loom.

"That's my spinning wheel..."

Zhu Yu moved her shoes to rub against Yao Shi's feet little by little, grabbed her trouser legs, and looked at Aunt Liu who was smiling and spinning with unwilling eyes.

Hearing that she wanted to learn spinning, Hu Yang specially built a new spinning wheel for her.

It took only half a day before it fell into the hands of others.

"Girl Yu, I can use your spinning wheel very well~ When the thread is spun out, let my Qiuyan weave it into cloth for you and sew a new quilt cover for you, okay?"

Aunt Liu looked at her kindly, her mouth with few teeth shrunk in and her chin raised high when she smiled, but she didn't stop working.

"No need, no need, I'm not in a hurry." Zhu Yu waved her hands carelessly, "I'm strong, aunt and Qiu Yan should drive out the winter clothes first."

Thinking of Qiuyan's tattered clothes that were so short that her wrists were exposed, Zhu Yu lowered her head resentfully.

Qiuyan is also a poor child. If she hadn't been picked up by the childless Aunt Liu, she probably wouldn't have survived until now.

Aunt Liu relied on delivering babies, spinning and weaving cloth to sell some copper coins, and she was raised if she was hungry and full.

"Don't get in my way." Yao waving his hands as if chasing flies away, "Why don't you go to the Beiying Camp."

Zhu Yu leaned on his knees and got up, opened the toolbox next to him, and took away the small round box, "Hu Yang, I'll give these beans to Dongsheng and the others."

"Go ahead, let Pepper fry new ones for you tomorrow."

Hu Yang put the tools in his hand back into the wooden box, seeing her cute smile with her head tilted, he wanted to raise his hand to touch her head, thinking of the crowd here, he pressed his mind again.

"You're so thinking...you don't want Yuyatou to go to trouble Beiying, but to see them pity..."

Aunt Liu put the spun thread into the basket, turned her head to look at Zhuyu's furious back, and sighed.

Yao Shi pursed his lips and smiled, touched the wheel of the spinning wheel, and stopped what he was doing.

"People in the village freeze to death every year. I used to only take care of my own affairs, but now I take care of so many people every day. I feel that the burden on my body is heavy."

What she can do by rushing day and night this day is to weave two more bolts of cloth.

Cotton is expensive, and I really can't open my mouth with the girl.

Zhu Yu lost face in front of the girl, so she could only try to see if she could let the girl share some of her face.

The Qin mother and daughter, who each picked up a load of weeds and came back at dusk, saw a thin figure sitting at the door of their bamboo shed from a distance, lowering their heads and talking to their little girl.

"Come here, girl!" Qin Shi walked forward quickly, holding on to the rope, raised her smiling face and slightly lowered her body to ask, "But what do you want us to do?"

Shu Yingtong shook her head, and glanced at the basket that the mother and daughter put at the door.

"Mother, this is for me from the girl! It smells delicious! You and the second sister have a taste?"

When Sanni saw them, she happily picked up the new bowl on the ground, and raised it to Qin's face on her toes.

Qin took a look at the unknown cake in the bowl, it smelled sweet, but it was soft just by looking at it.She moved her mouth and wanted to scold her for being ignorant, and she dared to pick up any precious things.

Looking at her pair of bright and joyful eyes, my heart was sore, but I still didn't want to scold her cruelly.

A whole piece is not missing even a corner, this is waiting for them to come back to eat together...

"Hey~ It's very fragrant. Mother doesn't like to eat this, Sanni eats it~"

Pat her on the head, let her and the second daughter take her to light a fire and cook.Turning around, pinching the hem of his clothes and bowing slightly, he was so ashamed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"My child is greedy and ignorant, I will teach her well later. How can we poor children eat such good food, let the girl spend money..."

"It's just a piece of pastry, she has already thanked her." Shu Yingtong pointed to the weeds on the ground and in the basket, "I didn't cook so late, just to cut this?"

"Yes."

Qin shi smoothed the messy hair blown away by the wind from her face to her ears, and deftly poured out the weeds in the basket and spread them out to dry.

"It's been windy for the past few days, so I have to rush to clean up these weeds. The family took everything away, and I didn't leave a single quilt for me."

Stained brown by the grass juice, Qin's fingers were full of chapped holes, Qin Shi sniffed and looked up embarrassedly and smiled at Shu Yingtong.

"Hey, what do I do with these bad things? My eldest daughter and I worked during the day, and we borrowed spinning wheels and looms when we came back at night, and finally got rid of the quilt cloth. Hu Chunsheng and his son's carpentry work is really good. Well, the village is full of good people~”

Erni came out with a bowl and handed it over shyly, "Girl, drink some hot water. There is no hospitality at home, so don't be disgusted."

"No." Shu Yingtong took the bowl, and immediately recognized that it was a defective product from the porcelain kiln, "Don't let Dani bring this back next time."

Dani, who had come back after a long journey, heard this sentence as soon as she got nearby. She was so panicked that she dropped her burden and ran up and was about to kneel.

"I was wrong, girl, I don't dare to take it next time! I saw that these can still be used, it's a pity to smash them, I really know what's wrong..."

Shu Yingtong frowned and put down the bowl, raised her hand and scolded in a low voice, "Who taught you how to kneel when you are in trouble! Get out of Huanshan Village if you have weak knees!"

It was the first time for Qin's mother and daughter to see her get angry, and they stood aside in fear and hung their heads, feeling so flustered that they didn't know what to do.

It's over now, it made the girl angry...

Shu Yingtong stared coldly at Dani who clenched her lower lip tightly and dared not cry out, suppressed her anger, and spoke in a slow tone.

"You are not allowed to take the defective products home because the display of these things will affect the reputation of the porcelain kiln. If you want to take them, you can take the finished products, understand."

"Huh?" Dani raised her head with tears in her eyes, and looked at her in disbelief, "Young lady is angry that I took something from the public house?"

"How many pots and pans do I need?" Shu Yingtong glared at her, picked up the hot water on the floor, took a sip and put it down, got up and left.

After taking two steps, I turned around and added a few more words: "I heard from Uncle Song that you are a good young man with a calm mind and a steady hand. From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to do those chores and learn things from him."

The mother and daughter stared blankly at her back, and it took a long time to recover.

"Mother! Did I hear you right, huh? The girl asked Uncle Song to accept me as an apprentice! You know Uncle Song, our porcelain kiln is the best!" Dani hugged Qin's arm joyfully, tears streaming down her face.

"Listen clearly, listen clearly, the girl praised my daughter for being promising~"

Qin raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and stretched out her hand to gather the girl's hair sticking to her face behind her ears. Her trembling fingers slowly smoothed out her frizzy hair.

With tears in my eyes, I tried several times to make a smiley face but failed. My legs softened and I sat on the ground hugging my knees and cried: "My daughter is promising... my daughter can also be promising..."

Shu Yingtong walked around Beiying, and found that many houses here were worried about winter supplies.

Reed flowers, smashed bark fibers, rags, and thatch replaced cotton as winter quilt stuffing.

These, the effect of keeping out the cold is extremely low.

 Thanks to Purgatory Snow God for the reward!

  Love every baby! (ˊˋ*)
