farmer's wife

Chapter 40
Aunt Zhang talked about the family affairs of Li Jiashou, the head of the house, and Fu Yan listened, and also understood some of the interpersonal relationships in the village.

Which one is suitable for walking more, which one has more dirty things, save face and stay away.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Aunt Zhang changed the subject and mentioned the reason for coming here today.

"Isn't it my birthday in two days? I was asking you to go to the city to bring a message to my third son. Come and have a light meal together."

He took the initiative to come to treat guests, and the relationship between the two families was close, so Fu Yan would not refuse.

"Since it's your birthday, auntie, then we're going to come to ask for a drink that day. The two of my family may have eaten very well, so don't dislike your aunt and sister-in-law."

Seeing Fu Yan's funny look, Aunt Zhang and Second Sister-in-law Wang both laughed.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, you can come, it's too late for Auntie to be happy." Aunt Zhang patted Fu Yan's knee affectionately, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were filled with smiles.

While talking and joking, Fu Yan didn't delay the embroidery work in hand. After the purse pattern was embroidered, Fu Yan cut the thread with scissors.

Aunt Zhang and Second Sister-in-Law Wang also looked at Fu Yan's hands from time to time this afternoon.

The needle and thread were flying, and I didn't even understand it.

After spending most of this time together, Aunt Zhang gradually became familiar with Fu Yan's character.Easy-going and calm, she can answer a few sentences from time to time when a topic is raised, but she doesn't talk about people's right and wrong.

She is a smart and kind girl.

Seeing that Fu Yan's hand stopped, Aunt Zhang finally couldn't hold back, and looked at the embroidery in her hand curiously: "Is this the embroidered purse?"

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was curious, Fu Yan didn't hide it, and generously handed the embroidery to Aunt Zhang, letting her take a closer look: "Yes, Brother Alie's bag is worn out, make him a new purse. Just embroidered, I'll cut and sew it later."

Aunt Zhang wiped the sweat from her hands on the corner of her clothes before taking over the handkerchief.Wang Er's sister-in-law couldn't help getting closer.

The pattern is a little strange, but you can see the heroism of the archery man, even the simplified soaring eagle seems to be lifelike, and you can tell what it is embroidered at a glance.

When Aunt Zhang turned over the handkerchief, the pattern was exactly the same, but the thread was not visible, it was still double-sided embroidery!
Aunt Zhang and some daughter-in-laws in the village also sew their own clothes.It is always cheaper to buy cloth and make it yourself than to buy ready-to-wear.

But there are not many daughters-in-law who can embroider, let alone this double-sided embroidery.

She also saw such a good thing when she went to the cloth shop in the city, and she heard that it was very expensive, so she didn't dare to take a closer look for fear of breaking it!

Aunt Zhang carefully returned the handkerchief to Fu Yan: "Ah Yan, your craftsmanship is extraordinary, you can even embroider on both sides."

Fu Yan smiled: "I met a benefactor, and I was lucky enough to learn a hand."

"That's also your luck. Why didn't others encounter this good thing?!"

Since Fu Yan has this skill and Xiao Lie can hunt again, the life of the Xiao family will definitely get better and better in the future.

Aunt Zhang couldn't help feeling relieved for Xiao Lie.

In the past few years, Xiao Lie's difficulties were not easy, they all saw it, but everyone was not rich enough to help, and Xiao Lie was stronger, so she could only take care of Xiao Jian from time to time when Xiao Lie went up the mountain.

Looking at the exquisite embroidery patterns on the handkerchief, Aunt Zhang sighed casually: "If I had known you decades earlier, I would have the cheek to learn embroidery from you. Women can embroider in many crafts, and it is hard to compare Those men who can only farm are three points stronger! It's a pity that I gave birth to three boys and didn't have a daughter."

The second sister-in-law Wang was originally admiring the handkerchief, but when she heard her mother-in-law say this, she moved her lips, but she finally restrained herself and did not speak.

If she can learn a hand, she also wants to learn from Fu Yan.

But this is the craft of eating, so I can't hand it over to you if it's not relative or relative.

Fu Yan smiled and listened to Aunt Zhang's words, but didn't take the initiative to say anything.Even if you plan to take the women in the village to do cross-stitch in the future, you have to look at it again to get more familiar with the character of the people in the village.

No hurry now.

Speaking of embroidery, Aunt Zhang remembered the carriage that entered the village yesterday, and asked Fu Yan curiously: "I saw a carriage coming to your house yesterday, and I heard that the lady who came there is very impressive."

Anyone who came to the village saw it, and Fu Yan didn't intend to hide her knowledge of embroidery. Sooner or later, she would find out.

"That's the lady in charge of the cloth shop in the city, bring me some materials."

Satisfied with curiosity, Aunt Zhang praised Fu Yan's craftsmanship again.

"My aunt's craftsmanship is also very good. Are these shoes made of mille-ply soles? The soles are really thick."

When it comes to making shoes, Aunt Zhang is not guilty: "I'm not boasting about my craftsmanship. I have been doing it for decades. I pay for the soles of the shoes of my family. They all say that my shoes are comfortable to wear! "

Fu Yan took the shoe upper and broke it off, glued and stitched layer by layer, it was really strong.

Thinking of Xiao Lie's frequent running up and down the mountain, the soles and heels of his shoes were also very worn out, when she saw him before, she thought about going to the city to buy him two pairs when she had time.

Aunt Zhang's craftsmanship is good, so I just troubled Aunt Zhang: "I am weak, so I can make shoe uppers. Is there any time for Aunt Zhang to help me make two pairs of soles? I don't want to trouble you for nothing!"

Aunt Zhang was also happy to accept a job if she went out to chat.

The sun was setting to the west, Aunt Zhang and Second Sister-in-Law Wang were sent away, after a while, Xiao Lie also took Xiao Jian home.

Xiao Jian picked up Fu Yan, excitedly talked about the fun on the mountain today, and obediently went to practice today's big characters.

Xiao Lie brought the prey back to the small warehouse in the backyard for disposal.

Fu Yan followed, squatting beside Xiao Lie, looking at him with her chin dragged.

"Aunt Zhang came to invite us to her house for dinner this afternoon on April 25th, which is her birthday."

Xiao Lie nodded: "Since you are here to invite us, let's bring a gift. Aunt Zhang, the village head, also helped me a lot."

"I know, I promise for you."

"Your two pairs of shoes are worn out. I think Aunt Zhang is good at craftsmanship. Please ask her to make two pairs for you."

"Daughter-in-law, I can still wear my shoes." Xiao Lie said helplessly.

"Do it first, otherwise it won't be too late to do it right away when the shoes are worn out." Fu Yan continued, "It won't cost much to ask Aunt Zhang to make the soles, and I will make the uppers myself."

Xiao Lie stopped what he was doing, turned around and persuaded him: "Don't you still have to embroider screens? Still have time to make shoes? Don't tire yourself out."

He has seen how seriously Fu Yan stays up all night doing embroidery.

Fu Yan shook her head casually: "It's okay, it won't take much time to make a few pairs of shoe uppers, can I do it slowly?"

Seeing that she knew what was in her heart and that she had a whole heart for him, Xiao Lie didn't say any more.

"Take a look, what is this?"

Fu Yan hung the purse she made today in front of Xiao Lie and waved it.

Just by looking at the pattern of shooting eagles with a bow on the purse, you know it was made for him again.

Fu Yanzuo looked indifferent and indifferent: "When I was thinking about the style of the screen, I made a purse to practice my hand feeling, and I will give it to you."

Her indifferent expression could not conceal her pride and anticipation. Xiao Lie spread his dirty hands, rubbed Fu Yan's with his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Miss Hardworking is taking care of your husband again!"
