The skilled widow is busy farming

After a lot of pestering, Brother Chun finally satisfied his vanity and agreed to copy a better painting for them after some coquettish coaxing from his sister.

He also promised to take his three younger sisters to the market tomorrow, treat them to delicious snacks in the capital, and take them for a day of fun.

This made the three sisters jump up and down happily. They tried their best to fawn over Brother Chun at the dinner table and served him food, but accidentally ate too much.

The next day, Brother Chun took a break, and so did the brothers. He really took his three younger sisters on a walk through the streets and alleys, went to play, and even took them to eat delicious snacks and snacks, and even visited the embroidery building. After seeing their parents and brothers, the three sisters were satisfied.

After returning home, Brother Chun spent half a month helping them copy a very elegant painting, which was suitable for girls' aesthetics. It was elegant and full of artistic conception.

The three girls liked it very much. After setting up the loom, the three of them got ready and started weaving.

Xiaoli really learned every skill from Xiu Niang step by step, including the latest double-sided tapestry, but she was not very confident, but she had collaborated with Xiu Niang on two small pictures.

This time I plan to work with my sisters to make a beautiful piece of work for Xiu Lou, which can be regarded as repaying my husband's upbringing and brother and sister-in-law's kindness, so as not to embarrass the Li family.

In addition to studying and doing homework every day, the three girls spent most of their time weaving pictures.

Xiaoya and her husband Li Jing chattered.

"The three girls are working too hard. Weaving tapestry in the house every day and night, they hardly go out."

"The girls trained by my aunt are all like her, very strong. You can cook more delicious food to replenish your body."

"Okay, I'll let people keep an eye on the children. I often ask them to come over to my place for a walk, and I also go out for a walk to catch their breath. How can they stay in the house all the time?"

"Why are they suddenly weaving a big picture?"

"Hi! Qian'er attended the Lu family's banquet. The daughter of the Qian family said she wanted to buy her aunt's paintings. Yulan didn't dare to agree. The three children heard it nearby, and they must have felt something in their hearts. She asked Brother Chun to paint the paintings, so she went to weave them. ”

Brother Jing couldn't help but laugh, "It's not necessary to rush here. It takes at least a year to find tapestry, and some may take two to three years. It's normal to find it now."

"These three children are ambitious and want to knit it first and see the effect. It doesn't matter whether she wants it or not. As long as we make it beautiful, we won't be afraid of not being able to sell it and we can make some pocket money."

Xiaoya continued with emotion: "The child has seen the complexity of the capital, and is determined to give face to Mr. Li, to give face to us, and even to give face to my aunt."

"I won't mention the son-in-law of the clan school. Every one of the girls is very grateful to my aunt. They all regard her as their new parent. It is my aunt who allows the girls to go to school to study, learn etiquette and rules, and be able to get married. It's good, you don't have to be a stepping stone for your brothers. Qing'er was the first to break out, and Yingzi was the second. My aunt carried them step by step to the capital. Only the girls themselves can understand the hardships best. ."

Brother Jing is now a father. After many years of experience, he can better understand the depth of his aunt's kindness. She really lifted up the Li family by herself, otherwise why would these Qingliu ladies respect her?

Why did the Lu family's sister-in-law want to run against Qing'er? She really felt threatened. Qing'er could replace her as the clan's wife at any time, so she was naturally afraid and worried.

"Yes, we can't really sympathize with these girls. When I was in my hometown, I saw many girls from poor families working hard to weave brocades. In the end, the money was used to marry wives for their brothers, but they themselves were not far behind. , it is the aunt who goes to ask for dowries for them, and goes to the clan to lobby to help the girls buy an affordable dowry, these are really important to the girls."

"The world only sees that the Li family trains girls for marriage, but they don't understand that my aunt has found a smooth path for the girls to live straight. If they don't get married, they have to exchange them for betrothal gifts. It's better to get married. Have a good time."

Brother Jing used to farm, so he naturally understands what many lazy people are like. As long as they can afford the bride price, the parents will really sell the girl. Whether they live well or not is really not a consideration.

Xiu Niang understands very well, so she goes to such great lengths to get the girl to get married, because she wants to tell the clan that if the girl is well raised, she will be better than a son, so don't treat the girl badly.One person attained the Tao, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, Xiaoli was selected to go to the capital, and her parents and brothers all had the opportunity to be promoted and promoted. Xiu Niang's request to them was to earn a beautiful dowry for Xiaoli, otherwise the marriage would be cancelled, and she could not afford to lose that person. .

It's okay to lose your own people and no one will care about you, but if you lose your own people, the clan won't let you go.

Such twists and turns are just to give the girls a visible happiness to pursue.

The peasant girls who have no way out and cannot choose their own destiny are suffering so much.

A marriage that is not bitter is much better than a man who raises his hand and slaps you in the face until you submit.

Many farm wives are often beaten by men. There is a saying that women can only live an honest life if they are afraid of being beaten.

Can you imagine that there are still men in Lijia Village who sometimes get drunk and pat women a few times, but they don't dare to go too far, because women also make money, more than they do.

It is really difficult to change everyone's deep-rooted thoughts, and it cannot be changed overnight.

Even if you are asked to change your habitual diet, you will feel uncomfortable, unable to bear it, and feel aggrieved. Not to mention that it is a concept passed down from generation to generation by your parents, which is not easy.

How can we get them to lower their heads and work sincerely without having to rely on interests.

Who will do the useless things for you? You might as well go home and sleep.

This is why those ladies and even officials admire Xiu Niang because she did it.

No matter what she did, she managed to ensure that the peasants had food to eat and their lives were getting better and better, that the girls could go to school to read and write well, and that they could marry well, and that the parents were willing to give more dowries, so that the whole village could They all miss her well and obey her orders.

Li Jing and Li Rui have experienced many hardships and setbacks in the years since they came out, including difficulties at work and interpersonal difficulties. They didn't let you have an easy time because of their own interests. Only then did they know that Xiu Niang has great talents.

"Let them weave. They have to work hard on their own road in life. My aunt has paved the road. The rest is up to them. I hope they don't break their bodies."

"Okay, don't worry, I will ask the kitchen to make more delicious supplements for the children."

"When I go home next year, I've almost settled the accounts, and then we can go home and see our son."

"Yes, I miss my son too, and I don't know if he can talk anymore."

"Daughter-in-law, you've been following me around for the past few years, thank you for your hard work."

Li Jing hugged Xiaoya and thanked her.

"Fool, I am willing to go out and make a living. I am in an open mood. I am very lucky to marry you. The Li family is open-minded and polite. My parents-in-law treat me kindly and kindly. My aunt taught me my skills step by step and let me go out and use my talents. I feel unhappy. I know how happy I am, seeing that other wives are locked up in the backyard and unable to leave the capital for the rest of their lives, I feel even more grateful that I married the right person."

Xiaoya has also grown rapidly in the past few years, and she increasingly believes that her success in marrying well does not depend on her husband's official position and money, but on the power given to her by her enlightened and polite family.
