Chapter 174 Another moth arises
Ever since she confessed to Zhou Haoran on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Chunnuan felt that her whole person had become completely new, and she didn't know if it was because she no longer had to bear it alone.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, big and small packages were given to the second sister's family when they returned home. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, they spent a whole day in the farm.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it was a rare sunny day. Zhang Chunnuan had breakfast. Seeing that the weather was so good, she no longer wanted to stay at home, so she went to the village with her twins in hand.
First, I went to the village elders and other elders’ homes to pay New Year greetings, then went to Zhou Lixue’s house to sit and give a red envelope to Zhou Lixue’s grandson, who was being carried to pay New Year greetings. Finally, I took the twins to the village chief’s uncle’s house.
In fact, Zhang Chunnuan mainly came to talk to Wang Dongxue.
On the one hand, she is worried that Wang Dongxue will have random thoughts when her husband is not around, and on the other hand, she is really bored.
It is really boring to live in the countryside without working and without any shortage of money.
There were basically no entertainment activities, and she couldn't be like Father Shen, who could happily toss around for several days if given a few bamboos.
When they arrived at Wang Dongxue's room, Zhang Chunnuan sent the twins to play with the little girl.
"Sister Chunnuan, you finally came down to visit us. I thought you wanted to stay at home until work starts on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year before going out."
Zhang Chunnuan picked up a stool and sat down, "It's not that I don't want to go out. You also know the weather in the past two days. It's always cold no matter how thick you wear it. The sun is out today, otherwise I would definitely stay at home."
As she spoke, she saw Wang Dongxue making shoe soles with her hands.
With the size of the bottom plate, you can tell at a glance that it is made for men!
"Are you planning to make shoes for Huacheng?"
Wang Dongxue pushed the thimble on her hand and pulled out the needle with all her strength. The twine passed through several overlapping bamboo baskets, making a harsh sound.
Under such a voice, her voice sounded unreal:
"No, Huacheng has to work hard and the cloth shoes can't be worn. I made them for Grandpa Diao.
Now that I have recognized my godfather, I must show the proper filial piety. By the way, I also want to ask you, do you still have a lot of cotton at home? I want to buy a few feet from you and make a single coat for Grandpa Diao."
"some."
Zhang Chunnuan said without thinking: "I have fine plain cloth, it's best to make single clothes. If you are fine later, just come back with me to get it."
She didn't say she didn't want Wang Dongxue's money, but even if she did, she would still give it to herself in the end.
Just like before when she came back from the Northland, she didn't urge her to pay back the money, but she still paid it back not long after she came back.
Sometimes helping others too much will actually increase the burden on the other person, thus affecting the relationship between the two parties.
"Okay then, you and the 17-18-year-old girls can have lunch at home later. After lunch, I will go to your house to look at the fabrics."
While speaking, Wang Dongxue's hand movements did not stop, and she quickly sewed several bamboo slippers into a one-inch-thick shoe sole.
Next, you need to tighten the soles one stitch at a time.
Zhang Chunnuan saw her hands turning red while tying the thread, and couldn't bear to look any further, so she quickly said: "Stop being busy now, let's go out for a walk."
"Wait until I finish taking these stitches." Wang Dongxue looked at the sole of the shoe in her hand. There were still a few stitches left before the row was over, but she did not stop immediately.
"Okay, I'll go outside to talk to Aunt Guihua and wait for you."
Zhang Chunnuan quickly stood up and walked out of the room. When he heard the harsh sound of twine passing through the soles of his shoes again, he couldn't help but bared his teeth.
Having gained the memory of the original owner, she would naturally make handmade cloth shoes, but because there was a farm processing workshop and she had money and tickets to buy them, she had never made them herself.
Now that she saw how hard Wang Dongxue was working, she quickly gave up her plan to make shoes for her two children.
When I came to the main room, I happened to see Aunt Guihua sharing dried sweet potatoes from her home with the little girl and the twins.
When Aunt Guihua saw her coming out, she also stuffed a few large strips of sweet potatoes over.
The dried sweet potatoes from farmers are definitely not as exquisite as those sold in supermarkets in later generations.
The sweet potatoes assigned to the team were washed with old loofah pulp, cut into three-finger-wide strips, steamed in a pot, and then placed on the sun-drying flat to dry.
If there is no sun, put it in a dustpan and hang it on the kitchen stove, and use the heat from the fire to dry it.
Zhang Chunnuan looked at some blackened dried sweet potatoes with skin. It was obvious that there was no sun when the Zhou family made them, so they were dried by fire.
She didn't say anything, she just gave the extra to the three little ones, keeping one for herself and biting it slowly.
Wang Dongxue came out of the room without saying a few words to Aunt Guihua.
When the little girl saw her biological mother, she held up dried sweet potatoes and asked her mother to eat them together.
"You're so good, you can eat it yourself. Mom doesn't like to eat dried sweet potatoes."
Wang Dongxue said, pinching her daughter's tender cheeks, "Sister Chunnuan, let's go."
"Where are we going? Let's go after dinner!" Aunt Guihua said hurriedly.
Wang Dongxue waved her hand, "Mom, we are just walking around the village. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Sister Chunnuan back for lunch later."
Zhang Chunnuan also promised Aunt Guihua that she would stay for lunch and keep the twins at Zhou's house, and then left with Wang Dongxue.
Not long after they walked out of Zhou's house and turned onto the stone road, a group of half-year-old children ran past them, and they heard the sound of chirping——
“It’s fun to watch!”
"I heard there was a fight, but I don't know who lost!"
"We can't let the people in Shanjiao Village be bullied, we have to help!"
"Why are you helping me? My grandma told me that Chu educated youth is shameless and will break his shoes! He should be soaked in the pig cage!"
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? We don't want to soak pig cages now. They are feudal remnants and they want to eat peanuts!"
Wang Dongxue's ears were not as good as Zhang Chunnuan's, so she only heard a few words and wanted to run up to ask, but because she was pregnant, she was clumsy and couldn't catch up with those nimble children.
"Sister Chunnuan, did you hear what they said clearly?"
Just as she finished speaking, several women walked quickly towards her.
"You have to call the captain quickly. The Min family is really not doing this right..."
"Bah! If you ask me, it's that Chu educated youth who is shameless, and asking for gifts is not enough. She also wants watches, clothes, cars, and bicycles. She thinks she is an immortal descended from heaven!"
"Either way, since she has come to our mountain village, she is a member of the team and cannot be bullied."
Those women used to gossip and gossip with Li Suizui, and they were used to listening to rumors that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Of course, they are also the spreaders of rumors in Shanjiao Village.
Wang Dongxue heard clearly what happened.
She took Zhang Chunnuan's hand and said excitedly: "Could it be that Chu Pan'er and that Min Kaixuan are causing some excitement again? Come on, let's go and take a look!"
Zhang Chunnuan was not paying attention for a moment and was dragged away several meters by her.
