The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 46
"Okay." Seeing Wan Xiaoliu full of anticipation, Wan Mofei also felt a great light shining on him.The two of them didn't get it done until very late, and then boiled water for a bath.

One night of rain, there are no clocks in this era, Wan Xiaoliu woke up hungry.Woke up very early, heard that it was raining, and continued to sleep under the covers.I woke up when I smelled the aroma of fragrant food in my dream, and my nose was still smelling hard.Not to mention, it really smells good.

Wan Xiaoliu pushed back the quilt and opened the door, and sure enough Wan Mofei was cooking, emitting bursts of fragrance.Touch your belly, rub your fingers against your nose.

"It's so early, why don't you sleep more when it's raining?"

"I'm used to it, I can't sleep. You can change your clothes and eat." Wan Mofei looked at Wan Xiaoliu as if I was hungry.

"it is good."

Stretch and bend over to the rain curtain.

"Hey, it seems to be uncle over there, see if it is." Wan Xiaoliu saw that the other side of the bamboo forest really seemed to be uncle and Xiaojiu.

"Yes." Wan Mofei came over to confirm.

"Could uncle come to help us make bamboo beds?" Wan Xiaoliu thought it should be, since uncle said he would come when it rained.

"Change quickly." Wan Mofei saw that Wan Xiaoliu was still sleeping in his underwear.Just push her back to the room.

"Oh yes." Wan Xiaoliu hastened to speed up.Be sure to get everything done before uncle arrives.

It was done in two or three clicks, and the uncle had already arrived at the door before opening the door.

"Uncle, Xiao Jiu." Wan Xiaoliu yelled, rolling his arms and sleeves.

"Sixth Sister, Brother Murphy."

"Well, Xiaoliu, I'm fine if it rains today, so I'll make you a bamboo bed." The uncle said again and again, taking off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat.

"Thank you uncle." Wan Xiaoliu hurriedly took the toolbox from the uncle's hand and let them in.Sure enough, I guessed it right, hurry up and do it, Wan Mofei will have a bed.

"You haven't eaten yet?" the uncle asked while looking at the food on the pot table.

"Well, not yet, I'm going to eat, and sleep later on rainy days." Wan Xiaoliu said.

"How is this little brother?" The uncle sat down and asked Wan Mofei.

"Thank you, it's much better." For the first time, Wan Mofei spoke to someone other than Wan Xiao and Liu Wan Xiaojiu.

"Well, it's good that you're fine, have you taken the medicine?" The uncle was very concerned about Wan Mofei.

"Not anymore." Wan Mofei answered truthfully.

"En." The uncle nodded, drinking the tea Wan Xiaoliu poured.Wan Xiaojiu had already gone to play with chickens.

"You guys eat, I will start to trim the bamboo." The uncle put down the tea bowl.

"Okay, what do you want?" Wan Xiaoliu asked.

"Nothing, I'll come for you to eat by yourself." The uncle took the tool to the eaves slowly, and began to scrape off the blue color on the outside of the bamboo.

Wan Xiaoliu looked at Wan Mofei.This man actually put all the bamboo under the eaves. Could it be that the uncle is coming to make a bamboo bed today?Wan Mofei caught Wan Xiaoliu's gaze and exchanged a glance with her.

"I'm so hungry, let's eat outside." Wan Xiaoliu said with a different look, "Xiao Jiu, do you want to eat more?"

"Thank you Sixth Sister, my mother cooked the fish this morning, and I'm so full. I can't eat any more." Wan Xiaojiu is still a very sensible child.

"Alright then." The food was brought to the table, and the two of them began to eat.There was still leftover fish and chicken from last night, and Wan Mofei fried eggplant.Three dishes are just right for two people.

After dinner, Wan Xiaoliu cleaned up the dishes and tidied up the house, and nothing happened.

"Xiao Jiu, you learn the Three Character Classic from him, don't be a chick." Wan Xiaoliu took out the book and handed it to Wan Mofei.

"Oh." Wan Xiaojiu was still studying happily.

"Uncle, do you want me to help you?" Wan Xiaoliu ran over and asked the uncle.

"No need, you make room in the house, I want to pile up bamboo." The uncle has already cut open the bamboo.

"Okay." Wan Xiaoliu went back into the house, and Wan Mofei carried his bed to the door next to Wan Xiaoliu's, moved the table over, vacated the entire corner, and found another A broom to sweep the floor.

"Uncle, it's done, come in and do it." Wan Xiaoliu said to the uncle.

"Okay." The uncle brought the sawed bamboo into the house and started to do it.

Wan Mofei and Wan Xiaojiu are studying, and the uncle is making the bed, and Wan Xiaoliu seems to have nothing to do by himself.

I went to the cabinet to find the soles of the shoes before, which should have been made by Xiao Liuniang when she was still alive. I took them out and took out the twisted hemp ropes according to my memory, threaded the needles, and started to make the soles.The sole is not thick, Wan Xiaoliu can still get in with a thimble.The sole was finished layer by layer, and the perimeter was sewn up. According to memory, Wan Xiaoliu used the hemp rope to tie a circle on the sole, one stitch at a time, and then began to drill row by row in the middle.

Wan Mofei looked at this picture, it seemed that the husband was teaching the children to read and write, and the lady was holding the soles of the shoes.It's a very warm picture, it seems to be by my side, but it seems to be far away.

Wan Xiaoliu made it look good.It rained without stopping.

This kind of shoes is the so-called thousand-layer bottom. The production process of this shoe is also very troublesome. First, take back the bamboo shoots that were picked up when the bamboo shoots were growing in the bamboo forest, put them on the wooden board, press them flat, and then put them on the shoes. According to the shoe pattern, it is trimmed into the shape of the shoe, then wrapped with cloth and ordered, and then the cloth is placed on top of the layer, the size is neat, the size is certified, the edge of the cloth is trimmed, and it is sewn up and fixed like a buttonhole. Like Wan Xiaoliu hitting the sole of the shoe, he used hemp thread stitch by stitch to strengthen the sole.After the sole is finished, the upper can be made. The upper is a hard shell that is glued together with cloth and rice paste and dried in the sun. The upper layer is covered with cloth, trimmed into a shoe upper, and then sewn onto the sole.Such a pair of shoes is ready.The most important thing is that the soles are difficult to get. Once the soles are done, the shoes are half finished.

The soles of Wan Xiaoliu's shoes are very big, she compared them quietly before, they are similar to the shoes Wan Mofei wears, except that the shoes Wan Mofei wore when he came here are the straw sandals left by his father before.I've wanted to get him a pair of shoes for a long time, but I always have time.

"Brother Mofei, I'm hungry." Xiao Jiu blinked at Wan Mofei.

"When is it?" Wan Xiaoliu stopped hitting the sole of his shoe.

"It's almost noon." The uncle looked up and said.

"Ah, it's almost noon, so I'll cook. Uncle, you and Xiaojiu will have dinner at my house at noon. I'll cook." Wan Xiaoliu wrapped the twine around the soles of his shoes, put on his apron, and started cooking, Wan Mofei Very consciously sat down under the stove and began to live.

"Okay, just get something to eat." The uncle understood Wan Xiaoliu's difficulty.

"Well, there is still rice at home, cook for lunch, yesterday he got some small river fish, fried river fish for lunch." Wan Xiaoliu cut the cucumber and started to cook it.

"Sixth sister, the little chicken is hungry." Wan Xiaojiu likes the little chicken very much now.
