Chapter 60 Suzhou embroidery [8]

He is still so young, if his hands are scalded... Zou took the egg and put it beside him, quickly grabbed his hand, and examined it carefully.

"Is it too hot?" Mrs. Zou looked at it, and apart from a little redness, there was nothing serious about it!

"Your milk is given to you and you can eat it yourself. What are you going to do with it? What if it burns your hands?" With a straight face, Zou peeled the egg and handed it to Tao Ancheng.

Tao Ancheng shook his head, "Mother, I'll eat it for you!"

Tao Hua also echoed, "Mother, you can eat what Ancheng gives you! Ancheng, guess what my sister bought for you today?"

Tao Ancheng knew that Tao Hua was rich, so when he heard this, his eyes widened and stared at Tao Hua, "Sister, what did you buy me?"

Tao Hua took out the basket on the bedside table, took out a bag of halva and pastries wrapped in a handkerchief, and bought a bunch of candied haws for Tao Ancheng... The rest was paper and ink, rice paper is too expensive, They can't afford it either, besides, Tao Ancheng is still young, so it would be too wasteful to use rice paper for him.

Tao Ancheng hugged the candied haws tightly. He saw that many children in the village had eaten this.Although Lei Shi was very kind to him, but spending money to buy food... She still felt very distressed!

So Tao Ancheng hasn't eaten it yet. When he saw this, his eyes were eager to stick it on it, and he happily hugged the candied haws, "Sister, I like this. I heard Lin Tiezhu say it last time, it's delicious..."

Lin Tiezhu, a child of the Lizheng family, is 13 years old this year. Like Zhao Wenwen, he is the overlord of the village.However, everyone generally said that Zhao Wenwen and Lin Tiezhu had an upright father. Even if they said it, they only dared to talk about it behind their backs and did not dare to bring it out in the open.After all, Lizheng is the biggest official here, if I give you small shoes to wear...it's not good!
"Eat it if you like it. Next time we go to the town together, I will buy it for you!" Tao Hua is very generous. She is fighting for them now. As long as he wants, she can satisfy him as much as possible.

"You girl, you've made some money, just to show off!" Mrs. Zou smiled gratifiedly when she saw their siblings talking, and tapped Tao Hua's forehead lightly. "You can eat this egg, Hua'er, you should eat more..." Mrs. Zou didn't say a lot, but the worry in it was self-evident!Why is her daughter so miserable?

"Mother, let's eat together...Ancheng, you can eat this!" Tao Hua took Zou's hand and brought the egg to her mouth. She also lifted the egg with a smile, put it to her mouth and took a bite. Opened the handkerchief and took out a piece of pastry, "Mother, this is given to me by the proprietress of Li's silk thread shop. She saw that I didn't have enough to eat today, so she put a plate of pastries for me. My aunt said she made it herself." , try it..."

Inside the house, the dim oil lamp was flickering, and the dizzy yellow light sprinkled the whole house with a faint layer of warmth. Under the shadow of the lamp, three figures of uneven height were close together, and even the cold wind outside the house could not blow in. among them.

The next day, Zou woke up and didn't call Tao Hua. She first got up and put grass for the rabbits, then rolled up the quilts for the children, and then quietly walked out the door!
Tao Hua is also used to getting up at this hour, so she got up not long after Mrs. Zou left!But she didn't go out right away, since Suzhou embroidery is so valuable, she must spend more time on it.What's more, I heard He Sanniang say yesterday that she was going to the county, and Su embroidery couldn't be sold at a good price in Yuhe Town, so she casually asked about the bobbin, but He Sanniang agreed to take it to have a look.Tao Hua didn't prepare too much, anyway, she made one or two pairs first to see.So, she didn't ask about Rabbit Hair. Doesn't their family happen to have a rabbit?

Tao Hua worked in the house for almost half an hour before going out. The weather was cold, and Lei Shi hadn't woken up yet. Except for Tao Shanming and Tao Li'an, almost everyone else was still asleep.

Mrs. Zou had almost done the work, Tao Hua got up, helped to light the fire and cook the pig food, and then went to feed the chickens and ducks, and they got up slowly.

Lei Shi got up and saw that everything was almost done. After eating, he said to the women in the family: "There is not enough pigweed for the winter at home, and there is still firewood. There are so many people in the family to burn. There is not enough. You will not have enough in the winter." Don't be idle, go up the mountain to do things for me. Mrs. Zou, you and Tao Hua..."

Lei's Balabala said something and told everyone present.

Luo Shi glanced at the weather outside with displeasure, pursed his mouth, and Wu Shi yawned loudly, "Mother, we are all going, what about my little sister...it's so cold, we all go out, and my little sister is alone Are you at home? Mother, you are old, we go out to do things for you, this is filial piety. But little sister..."

As soon as Wu Shi finished speaking, she was glared at fiercely. Wu Shi shrank her neck, but still stubbornly looked at Lei Shi, refusing to back down.

Luo Shi looked at them leisurely, unhurriedly, with a hint of fun in his eyes.

Mrs. Zou looked at them anxiously, and wanted to speak several times, but was held back by Tao Hua!

"Don't talk about that with me, how could Yuqin go out with you? Get out of here quickly..."

Lei Shi was so angry that she didn't expect Wu Shi to talk about her most beloved daughter.

"Mother, why can't Yuqin fail?" Wu Shi was also angry at Lei Shi's words, she was just not convinced, she has been married to the Tao family for so many years, and she has never seen a girl like her sister-in-law, she is from the countryside , but she just wanted to act like a lady of every family. "Why, we should make it for her to eat and wear? Is she my father or my mother? It's none of my business. If she doesn't go, I won't either..."

"You, you..." Lei Shi pointed at Wu Shi with trembling hands, his lips trembling with anger, "You dare to mock our Yuqin?"

Yuqin is still a young girl who has not left the court, but Wu Shi said that she is her parents as soon as she opened her mouth. Isn't this a curse on Tao Yuqin to grow up in the future?But Lei Shi was furious, she had a bad temper, picked up the chopsticks on the table and threw it at Wu Shi...

Wu suddenly jumped up and screamed, "It's terrible, it's terrible, my mother-in-law beat someone, my mother-in-law beat someone..."

Everyone watched this scene with great interest. No one thought that Mrs. Wu would faint on the ground within a few steps... At this moment, Mrs. Lei panicked, and everyone panicked.Luo Shi took her two daughters and hid behind Lei Shi, only Zou Shi and Tao Hua hurried over to help Wu Shi up.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and call Third Uncle!" Tao Hua said to Tao Wanhong and Tao Yueyue who were gloating.
