Chapter 20 Don't Wrap Feet
Molan forced herself to swallow sorghum rice, and she had to eat it even if it was bad. Otherwise, you will have strength in your body. She is so thin that she doesn't have to go on a diet to lose weight.
The meal was finished soon. Liu and Qiu went to clean up. The elders chatted with the men for a while and went back to their rooms to rest.
"Milk, does our upper look better when it is made into shoes?" Molan didn't want to go back to the room with the Qiu family, so she didn't leave the Wang family.
"Yes, it must be better to make shoes, but the soles have not been accepted yet. Why does the girl Lan want milk to make the upper into shoes?" Wang's granddaughter pestered him.
"Um, I think it's better to make shoes. Let the aunt make a pair of insoles.
"Well, I've driven out a pair of soles these days and made into shoes. If I can't sell it, I'll keep it for my girl Lan to wear. Do you still need to do that insole?" Wang answered with a smile.
"I want milk, the uppers we make, those flowers and styles are all my own. I'm making a beautiful insole. Embroider the flowers, so that it can be matched. In addition, our shoes are made of ordinary women's foot wraps. Some people may feel that they are big, and some may be just right. If there is a pair of insoles, others can make a better choice.
"Oced, let your aunt make insoles in the afternoon."
"The milk is so good." Molan hugged Wang's arm and snuggled her face on Wang's shoulder.
"Lan girl likes embroidered shoes. Does Lan girl want to wrap her feet?" Wang Shi pondered for a while and suddenly asked.
"No, milk, Lanlan doesn't wrap her feet." Molan is shivering. Wrapping her feet is torture. She doesn't want it. She is not stupid. How can she destroy herself!
"Good, if you don't wrap it, don't wrap it. I don't expect you to marry a big family, and it's not bad to find a farmer for an ordinary life. Wang stroked her granddaughter's hair and said quietly.
"Lanlan doesn't get married, and Lanlan will stay with milk all her life." Molan is coquettish.
"Okay, our Lan girl is with the milk." Wang spoiled and smiled at Molan.
After a break, the men all went to the ground. Wang, Liu, and Mo Mei were sewing. Qiu's work alone. Molan, Erlang and Xiao Saner came to the uncle's house.
After the three of them called their uncle, they sat down on the kang.
"Good, good. My children in the Mo family are really good. Uncle, I'm happy to teach you how to read. Mo Changhai shouted hello twice in a row. It seemed that he was really happy.
"Uncle, please teach me first. I'm listening with my mistress. When I finish teaching, I'm learning with my mistress. Molan said obediently.
"Good girl Lan, then I'll teach you first, big brother." After saying that, Mo Changhai picked up the book and began to teach Erlang to read.
Molan hugged the mistress and listened carefully. The little guy was not bored beside Molan. He suddenly flashed his big eyes and looked at his uncle and brother seriously.
One of them teaches seriously and the other learns carefully. Mo Lan nodded. Her brother is really good. Study hard, and people are smart. So the progress is very fast. I usually help my family with housework when I have nothing to do. It's really poor children who are in charge of the house early.
Time passed minute by minute. Molan was not in a hurry. She had basically heard what Mo Changhai said in that era, so she didn't feel confused. On the contrary, the mistress could sit quietly all the time, which made her feel strange.
The lecture of the two came to an end, and Erlang thanked his uncle. Then he smiled at Molan and Xiao San'er and said, "It's annoying. I've finished my study. I'm going to pick up the materials. You have to learn from your uncle."
"Um, brother, don't be too tired. Don't forget to meditate on your uncle's teaching in your heart when you are on the road, with a long back." Molan told his brother.
"Um, I will. Then I'll go." Erlang and his uncle left after saying goodbye.
Looking at his back, Molan sighed secretly. It's not easy. After learning knowledge, there is no paper and pen at home. Brother, he can only write and draw on the ground with branches. Uncle, drink some water first, take a rest, and then teach us. Mo Lan took a bowl of boiling water and handed it to Mo Changhai.
Mo Changhai took over the water and smiled with satisfaction. The girl Lan was too big. I know how to take care of people.
In this way, Molan and Xiao San'er spent the afternoon here in Mo Changhai, and Molan began the journey of letter-to-seeking in this era.
A few days passed quickly, and every day was the same. The busy green of the big room, the dissatisfaction of the second room, the sound of quarrels and complaints sounded in Molan's ears every day. She is just smiling now. Life is like this.
Today is the delivery day for the Liu family, so early in the morning, the Liu family packed up the embroidery she wanted to hand in and came to the Wang family.
"Mom, sister-in-law, then I'll take Lanlan with me, and I'll bother you at home." Liu said to Wang and Qiu.
"Um, be careful on the way. Take good care of girl Lan. Don't let her run around. Go early and come back early." Wang told Liu, and then handed Liu 15 cents to let her take the bus. If it was late, she would buy food in the town.
"If you don't need so much, ten articles is enough." Liu refused.
"Take it, there are not too many here. Don't push it." Wang asked Liu to collect the money.
Molan narrowed her eyes when she saw this, and she had to give up more than ten cents. She is a little sour in her heart.
"Lanlan, listen to your aunt's words on the road. Don't run away." Qiu told him again. He told him again.
"Um, mother, don't worry, I will be obedient." Molan promised again.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to trouble you." Qiu said to Liu again.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I must be optimistic about Lanlan. Liu promised Qiu.'s
In this way, Liu and Molan walked out of the yard and walked to the village at the advice of their family.
Liu took Molan to the side of the road at the head of the village, where there was an ox cart parked, and there was a man in his 50s squatting next to the car, smoking a dry smoke.
"Uncle Liu." Liu shouted at the man. Molan knew that this was the old Liu head in the village. His family bought a cow to cultivate the land. When he was not busy, he would use the ox cart to pull people to the town and make some money to subsidize the family.
"Um, it's from Changhai's family. I'm going to deliver the goods again today. This is Molan, right? Why does she go too? Uncle Liu looked up at Liu and stood up.
"Good, Grandpa Liu." Molan smiled and shouted.
"Uh, Uh." Old Liu answered happily.
"Lanlan, come with me and have a look. When will Uncle Liu leave?"
"Wait a minute, Erdan's house, as well as your Aunt Chen and Aunt Pomegranate will also go. I guess they will come later." Old Liu looked at the sky and said.
"Well, let's wait first. How much is Uncle Liu's car? I'll give it to you first."
"Forget the car money. It's all for the villagers." Old Liu's head shied away.
"How can that work? Uncle Liu also has to feed the whole family. If it weren't for the difficulties at home, who would be willing to let the cow run like this?"
"Um, cattle are the treasure of our farmers. I can't help it. Your aunt has been in poor health for many years. There are only those places at home, and there are many children who open their mouths to eat. If I don't pull some more, I really can't take care of it." Old Liu sighed.
"That's right, so Uncle Liu has to take this money. You can't take your car for nothing." Liu doesn't want to take advantage of others.
"Empt, then you can give me two articles. Girl Lan is a child, so she doesn't want her money. Old Liu patted his thigh and said boldly.
"This can't work." Liu hurriedly shigized.
After a dispute, Liu gave three cents, which means that Molan was half the fee. Looking at their dispute, Molan couldn't laugh or cry. In the past, she only saw the price down, but today it's good. One doesn't want it, and the other has to be given. The competition is just one or two cents. However, personal qualities can also be seen from these disputes.
After paying the money, Liu took Molan into the car, and several women came from the direction of the village.
