No matter how distressed she was, Mother Li had to respond, "Okay, how about using the leftover corduroy to make shoe uppers?"
Tian Jing waved her hand and said, "Leave the remaining rags to my mother-in-law."
Putting on autumn clothes and autumn trousers, and then putting on new clothes, Tian Jing felt warm from the outside to the heart, from head to soles. Holding a bowl of red mushroom fruit, she went to Sister Niu's house to invite someone.
"Sister-in-law Niu, I want to ask you to do a favor this afternoon. The cloth shells we made the day before yesterday are not enough."
"Okay, I'll go after dinner." Mrs. Niu said simply, "Huh? Isn't this the mushroom fruit you are serving?"
Tian Jing put the bowl in her hand, "It's the mushroom fruit. Try it. It's delicious. Remember to take the bowl back to me in the afternoon. I'll go home for dinner."
…
Sister Niu, who had already returned from her natal home, rolled her eyes when her sister-in-law brought in a bowl of mushroom fruit, but she did not dare to speak. She did not want to be sent back to her natal home, which was no longer her home.
Sister-in-law Niu tasted one herself first. The taste was indescribably delicious. She put the bowl in front of her mother-in-law without looking at her siblings' eyes, "Tian Jing sent it. In the afternoon, she asked me to help make cloth shells."
"
When she heard that it was from the Li family's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Niu immediately peeled one off and put it in her mouth.
As soon as she took a bite, the crisp and sweet juice spread, and the warm feeling came again. After eating several times in a row, she asked her grandson to eat, "This is the mushroom fruit you love to eat and play with. Eat it."
.”
Mrs. Niu is waiting for someone to ask her to eat, so she can take the opportunity to say a few words.
However, no one paid attention to her. One by one, one by one, the mushroom fruit in the bowl was gone. Even her husband didn't give her a taste, so she just put it in his own mouth.
No, she didn't want to taste the mushroom fruit, she just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity... Seeing everyone's unfinished expression, she looked at her husband aggrievedly.
Brother Niu pretended not to see it. He accompanied his wife to his father-in-law's house for three days and only looked at his face for three days. Why should he look at her face?
…
In the afternoon, Mrs. Niu, who came to return the Li family's bowl, saw the rags that were intended to be used to beat the shoe shell panels, and she knew the reason, "It was damaged by the dough?"
"Yeah." Tian Jing casually threw the blame away, "Li Zhengguo's hand is too strong."
Li Zhengguo, the scapegoat, said, "Yes, it's my first time to wash the quilt, and I don't know how to apply force."
"Where can a man wash his quilt?"
Sister-in-law Niu comforted her nonchalantly, and then smiled, "However, yesterday, brother Zhengguo went to the Ku River to rinse under the quilt, but many people saw it. Some people immediately said that you are afraid of your wife.
"
"Hehe, let me tell you, the person who said this is being bitter. Her man has never helped her with the housework. Tian Jing, you are lucky to be married to a man who knows how to love his wife."
Tian Jing raised her eyes and looked at Li Zhengguo. If Sister Niu hadn't said this, she would have never thought of the division of labor between men and women in this era.
Moreover, women will think that men who love to do housework are worthless and afraid of their wives.
But yesterday, Li Zhengguo simply agreed, and Li's mother and Li Min didn't say anything. They must have helped before, but no one saw it.
Now that Li Zhengguo has married a daughter-in-law, it is his wife's responsibility to do such things as washing her clothes. This is everyone's point of view.
Li Zhengguo smiled at Tian Jing and answered Sister-in-law Niu, "My wife is still young, so what does it matter if I help with housework? Those people are making too much fuss."
"Yes, that's the truth. Those people are just idle and they just know how to stare at your house and ignore them."
After chatting for a few words, Sister Niu and Mother Li began to make cloth shell boards.
Li Zhengguo continued to make furniture with Chen Suozhu.
Three days later, two cabinets and one shelf were built, and all the things in the east and west room that were outside were put into the cabinets.
There are shelves in the kitchen, and the basins and bowls are put into the shelves, making the space a lot larger.
After another three days of use, two deck chairs were built and covered with thin quilts. After Li's mother lay down on them, tears of joy fell down. This was her daughter-in-law's idea and she asked her son to make them specially for her.
Tian Jing pretended not to notice, and lay down on another one to try it out. It was a little hard, because the backrest and the seat under the buttocks were made of wooden boards, but if it were replaced with old coarse cloth, it would be too tight.
"Li Min, you can also lie down on this, adjust it to a higher level, and knit a sweater while lying down without exposing your secrets."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Min, who was originally envious, grinned and thanked her when she heard that her sister-in-law was willing to share a recliner with her.
Giving up the recliner to Li Min, Tian Jing said to Li Zhengguo, "Li Zhengguo, let's go to the county town tomorrow and wipe the kitchen wall when we get back. I want to buy some plastic film."
"good."
Mother Li raised her hand to wipe away her tears. The days were getting better and better. It was time for her to smile, "Tiantian, I heard that plastic film is not easy to buy. You need a approval slip."
Upon hearing this, Tian Jing looked at Li Zhengguo.
"I'm going to see Captain Ou tonight." Li Zhengguo knew that Tiantian wanted to grow vegetables, which was a good thing. He asked Captain Ou to open a purchasing introduction letter, and then he asked Wen Jianshe for help.
Now that Li Zhengguo has a solution, Tian Jing is no longer worried. She plans to go up the mountain again. She still has two hundred yuan left at home, which may not be enough for her to spend. She wants to get something more to sell.
Li Zhengguo had nothing urgent to do, so of course he was worried about her going up the mountain alone, and Tian Jing didn't refuse.
The two of them left Li's house carrying bamboo-backed baskets. Three of the five houses on the west side surrounded the courtyard wall first.
Li Zhengguo couldn't help but frown when he saw Li Aiguo coming to work as a foreigner again. He lived in a village and other people were dividing the foundations normally. He had no choice or reason to get rid of this disgusting person.
Tian Jing quickly walked towards the back mountain without even glancing over there. It was already afternoon, and she wanted to go deep into the mountain to see where she would have time to pay attention to the people.
Li Zhengguo was just stunned when he realized that Tian Tianli had gone far away, and he hurriedly limped to follow.
Li Aiguo stood up straight and looked at the two people who looked very incompatible with each other, especially the limping figure. He chased the extremely fast and slender figure without knowing his strength. It was so ridiculous and pitiful.
The toad really wants to eat swan meat!
Jingjing must have sped up because she was tired of the chase, right?
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo didn't know that Li Aiguo had so much drama in his heart. At this moment, the two were discussing parting ways.
As soon as they reached the mountain, Li Zhengguo resumed his "abnormal" walking. Tian Jing also waited consciously for a while, and the two met at the edge of the mountain.
"Li Zhengguo, you know the value of my force. I want to go deep into the mountains to have a look. I didn't refuse you to accompany me up the mountain. I want you to hunt some pheasants and rabbits nearby and bring them to sell for money. Don't break the relationship between us.
The harmony that was formed.”
Seeing that Tiantian was unhappy, Li Zhengguo could only agree, "Then I will wait for you near here. I must come down before dark."
Tian Jing said "Hello", turned around and jumped onto the tree next to her. She stepped on the treetops with her toes and jumped a few times before disappearing from Li Zhengguo's sight.
The first time I saw Tian Jing running on a tree, the speed was as fast as walking on the ground, no, faster than the ground. Li Zhengguo thought, this should be the legendary Qing Gong, right?
Thinking back to the confrontation between Tiantian and Ouyang Lei when he went to the county town last time, Li Zhengguo was no longer worried. No, he was still worried. He was worried that Tiantian would lose track of time.
