Chapter 39 Tailoring
Chapter 40 Tailoring
Sheng Xi found an aunt named Fang based on the memory of the original owner.Aunt Fang's house was about a hundred meters away from theirs, so it wasn't that far.

Aunt Fang is only in her thirties. Her husband's surname is Wu and he is from the same family as the village chief.Yes, the largest clan in Xiaying Village is the Wu clan, which is the main reason why Wu Xuezheng became the village chief of Xiaying Village.Of course, it is also because Wu Xuezheng is doing things fairly and his prestige is there, so his election can be regarded as expected.

However, this does not include the Laosheng family.After all, the one who competed with the village chief for the position of village chief was Sheng Jin.

Aunt Fang didn't expect that Sheng Xi would come to her home, but she still came to find her.In my impression, Sheng Xi never said a few words to herself.Even if you say it, it's crazy.

However, Aunt Fang had obviously heard the rumors about Sheng Xi. Although she was confused at the moment, she still asked Sheng Xi: "Girl Xi, what do you want to do with Auntie?"

Sheng Xi saw that Aunt Fang had no intention of letting her into the yard, so she didn't mind. She went straight to the point and said, "Auntie, I want you to help me make some clothes."

Aunt Fang said "Ah", her eyebrows twitched, and she said, "Hey girl, I remember you have a lot of clothes, right? Seven or eight sets, right? You, why do you still make clothes?"

The number of clothes Sheng Xi has in the entire Xiaying Village is not that small to be honest.These days, it’s already pretty good if every family has enough to eat. Who has the spare money to make more clothes?There are only two or three sets replaced throughout the year.If it breaks, make up for it, and if it breaks again, make up for it.

No way, who makes cotton expensive?Even hemp is not cheap for them.But fortunately, they can weave hemp themselves, and apart from the taxes paid, they can keep some every year.However, since it is linen after all, it is far less comfortable than clothes made of cotton.

And Aunt Fang remembered that when Sheng Laoer was still alive, he always liked to buy new clothes for her daughter. Although they were not all made of cotton, the coarse linen was not cheap. Even his youngest son was not so fond of it.At that time, she had a pretty good relationship with Tong Sheng Laoer, the head of the family, and she once helped him do something.

But who would have imagined that Sheng's second son is gone, Sheng Xi's family is in such a situation, and this, Sheng Xi actually has to make clothes...

"Girl Xi, just listen to what Auntie said, these days are all saved. You have so many clothes..."

"Auntie, you're not doing it for me, you're doing it for my husband-in-law and Xiaoyuan." Sheng Xi interrupted Aunt Fang's mumbling.This murmur belongs to the original owner, and she will not listen to it for the time being.

Aunt Fang was stunned, as if she didn't hear what Qing Shengxi said, and looked at her in surprise, oh no, to be more precise, she looked at her with a ghostly look on her face.

"Your husband, and Xiao Yuan? Xiao Yuan isn't..."

"Xiaoyuan is back."

Aunt Fang's eyes widened. Not long after Sheng Xi and Sheng Guangyuan came back, even gossip had a process of spreading.Therefore, Aunt Fang doesn't know yet.

After finally coming back to her senses, Aunt Fang said with some difficulty: "But my family..."

"It costs ten cents to make a piece, four sets in total." Sheng Xi cut off Aunt Fang's words again.Although this was rude, Sheng Xi just didn't want to hear the other party's rejection.

Sure enough, after hearing Sheng Xi's words, Aunt Fang was stunned again. This time, in addition to surprise, there was also a hint of surprise in her expression.

"Xi girl, you, what did you just say? Do you want to make something for ten cents? Yes, right?" Aunt Fang asked anxiously.

One piece costs ten cents, four pieces equals forty cents, which is equivalent to her man’s two days’ wages!At present, his husband and eldest son have all gone to the county to work part-time, and they can only earn so much every day. If food is deducted, it will be even less.

Sheng Xi nodded: "Yes, I have completed a total of forty articles."

Aunt Fang was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She looked at Sheng Xi in disbelief and subconsciously said, "You, where did you get the money?" "You earned it from hunting." Sheng Xi replied, and at the same time, she thought in her mind that it was indeed the same. Let her money go out as soon as possible.

Aunt Fang said "Ah" and then remembered that Sheng Laoer often went to the mountains to hunt in the past.But... Sheng Xi actually took over this skill?Moreover, looking at Sheng Xi now, it seems that he is really as good as the rumors outside, so he is not stupid.

Well, I can’t say that I’m not stupid anymore.Otherwise, who would spend forty pennies to make clothes?With forty cents saved, one person can live on for a month.But she also knew that Sheng Xi really didn't know how to make clothes.

Aunt Fang didn't know what to say for a moment. She didn't want to cheat Sheng Xi, but she couldn't part with the forty coins.

I wanted to refuse just now because I didn't want to have anything to do with Sheng Xi. After all, I was crazy and stupid, and it would be troublesome if we got entangled in the future.Secondly, the head of the house and his eldest son moved to the county town, and she and her eldest daughter-in-law had to rely on her and her eldest daughter-in-law to do the farm work at home. They also had three younger children to raise, which was not very tiring and busy.

If you can't finish all the work at home, how can you find time to make clothes for others?

"Aunt, is it okay?" Sheng Xi could see Aunt Fang's dilemma, "If not, then I..."

"Okay! It will definitely work!" Aren't we just making four sets of clothes? The weather has been too cold these days and it's difficult to turn over the soil, so we just put the work in the ground aside first.Although the three little ones are young, they are also very sensible. When the time comes, just let the eldest daughter-in-law do it with her.

They are not slow in their work. As long as they are not particular about the appearance, they can make one set in a day.

Seeing that she agreed, Sheng Xi said: "That's it, aunt, please follow me to my house to get the cloth, and measure the size by the way."

"Hey, okay, okay! What about that, just wait for me, I'll get the ruler!" By the way, I'd like to explain to my daughter-in-law.

When Aunt Fang came to Sheng Xi's house, she immediately saw Sheng Guangyuan adding firewood to the stove, while Shen Anhe was kneading dough.

In most farmhouses, women do all the kitchen work.But who told Sheng Xi to be a fool before?Coupled with Sheng Laoer's pampering, even if she could do it, she might not be able to do it well. It would be a waste.

Aunt Fang couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the big and small people in front of her, and when she looked at Sheng Xi with a calm face, she felt inexplicably envious.

In the main room, the two people who heard the commotion turned their heads and saw Aunt Fang with a complicated expression.

When Sheng Guangyuan saw this, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Aunt!" Compared to Sheng Xi, he had more contact with Aunt Fang's family.

When Aunt Fang saw that Sheng Guangyuan was really back, she wiped her tears, smiled, stepped forward and touched the other person's head: "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"

Sheng Guangyuan nodded: "Auntie, are you here to cut clothes for us?"

"Ah, yes, I'm here to cut clothes for you." Then, Aunt Fang followed what Sheng Guangyuan pointed and saw the two pieces of cloth placed on the table at a glance.Then, she stopped moving.

"Auntie?"

Aunt Fang swallowed in embarrassment and turned to ask Sheng Xi, "Sheng Xi, what kind of clothes are you going to make?"
