Chapter 129 Making Shoes, Returning Favors

Chapter 129: Making shoes and giving favors to others.

Author: Dongmuhe

After get off work, Song Hongguo took a detour to the post office and stuffed the letter into the mailbox. Then he walked home. He had a simple dinner, including elm steamed buns, and then cooked the meat, meatballs, tofu and some cabbage. He mixed the flavor with pepper and salt. It was a dish, which was called stewed vegetables locally, and it was an almost indispensable dish for weddings and weddings.

After dinner, it was already dark and it was still early to go to bed. Song Hongguo found out the cloth and planned to make Ling Zhi a dress for clothes to wear when going out. She had prepared it for Ling Yuan before, but later she was busy cleaning the house and knitting sweaters, leaving Ling Zhi's one behind. Now she is still a little free and just needs to make up for it.

The two little guys couldn't help, so they listened to reading books on the radio. When they encountered words they didn't know or plots they didn't understand, they asked her. Song Hongguo was never perfunctory at this time. Not only did they explain the problem clearly to them, but they often extended a lot of quotes. The two brothers listened seriously and their desire for knowledge moved her.

While enjoying parent-child time, Zhao Zhenhua and his family came to the house.

Song Hongguo welcomed the people into the main hall and sat down. The main hall was very spacious, with candles and bright lights. There was a basket of reeds woven on the coffee table, divided into several grids, and filled with some food. There were three smaller enamel jars next to it, all with white background, with different red characters printed. One was made of tea, and the other two were gluten milk.

After a few greetings, Song Hongguo knew that Zhao Zhenhua had something to say, so she asked the two brothers to take the snack basket and take the garden to the second bedroom west to play, and moved the radio to them. At this moment, the children's favorite programs were playing, including children's songs and stories, which were very cheerful and lively.

Zhao Zhenhua sighed enviously, "You are living a life, you have food, drink, and entertainment. Unlike me, who is exhausted and tired after digging food in the field for a day, you can only get half full, and you can't even get tired of having fun..."

"What are you talking about your cousin?" Sun Shuhong angrily said, "The family's shame is not exposed. Besides, every family is like this now, what can I complain about? How many people in the entire commune can live like this?

Zhao Zhenhua smiled angrily, "I just said casually that my cousin is not an outsider."

"Then I have to bring a doorman to my mouth. I'll be so slutty one day. Let my dad know that I'll beat you up. How old is, I'll be more careful."

"Okay, okay, listen to you..."

Sun Shuhong glared at him again in anger. Wouldn't she be envious? She also envied, but she didn't envy her food, drink and entertainment. She liked this unique courtyard, which was the big house that she had the final say, was bright and comfortable, and had the decorations in this house. Ordinary people had a table of Eight Immortals with two Grand Master Chairs, a bench, and a few stools in the main hall. But here, there were cabinets on both sides of the door. It was said that one puts shoes and the other was called a tea cabinet. There were clothes, clothes, bags and other things hanging next to the shoe cabinet, and the stove was clean and decent. It was not as shabby as the countryside stove. Even the basin of bamboo was planted so that people liked it. She couldn't describe it, but she felt that it was green and had an indescribable smell.

But what she most likes most is this spacious sofa. When she entertains guests, she sits up and has a light on her face. And the blue brick floor is also rare, and it is bright with water. I just feel that life is full of hope.

After the two kids finished teasing, Song Hongguo asked about visiting the grave this morning.

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhenhua was energetic, "I went up the mountain before dawn this morning. The Zhao family, young and old, were buried together, and some locust trees and mulberry trees were planted around. The place was easy to find. Grandpa even erected a monument at that time..."

"There are quite a lot of people going there this time. Your second aunt brought your three cousins ​​and they all arrived. Your second uncle couldn't climb the mountain, so he didn't follow him. The two grandsons were still a little small, so it was not easy to go..."

"Like in previous years, burn incense, burn paper, and kowtow. Our Zhao family is a wealthy family. If all the filial sons and grandsons kneel down, they will be overwhelming. No one dares to bully him when he goes out..."

"It's just that the years are not good, and living people are not full, so how can they be filial to their ancestors? Thanks to you, your two bowls, which are as good as our families, are finally not so shabby to put them out..."

"I have made it clear to your grandparents and kowtowed for you. After they ate the offerings you gave, they must be happy on the other end, praise you for your filial piety. Even your second aunt's face looks much better, so don't worry."

Song Hongguo listened with a smile, what could she be worried about? It would be too false to say that she had feelings for those people. Even if the original owner had never been with them, let alone her, but she had no feelings, but she had the obligation to live in the Tomato Team. If she didn't fulfill her filial piety, she might be how others would arrange her behind her back.

When entering the countryside, you have to follow the customs.

After saying this, Zhao Zhenhua returned the basket to her. In addition to two bowls, there were two pairs of cloth shoes. Depending on the size, it was obviously made for the two brothers. One pair was black, one pair of hidden blue, and a thick thousand-layer bottom. It looked a little rustic, but the stitches were fine and solid, so it would feel very comfortable without having to put them on.

Seeing that she had no disgust on her face, Sun Shuhong felt relieved and explained, "This shoe is not as good as the one I bought, but it is comfortable to wear. It was made by his grandmother Manyuan. Who among the neighbors does not praise the skills of making shoes? If you wear it carefully, it will not break for three or two years..."

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Song Hongguo's words were not polite, but she really felt that the favor was a bit big. Those two bowls of dishes were not cheap, but making shoes was even more troublesome. It took a lot of effort to just take the soles of the shoe, and you had to wear cloth. Two pairs of shoes, at least one foot of cloth, and they were also made with both appearance and inner, which showed your wish.

When Sun Shuhong heard this, she smiled, "What's the shame of this? It's not such a precious thing. It can't compare to the rare things you give me. Don't just dislike it."

"How could you dislike it? The eldest lady is so good..." Song Hongguo called out the two brothers and tried it. After getting on her feet, she would be a little bigger. This is to prepare the child's feet to continue to grow, and to release some sizes, it would be more comfortable to wear, and she could wear them for two more years.

After trying the shoes, Zhao Zhenhua talked about the enamel jar. Song Hongguo didn't ask for money, so he asked him to help build two round stone troughs with a diameter of about 30 cm. It could be placed on the partitions on both sides of the stove to raise fish or plant water lilies. The blue lotus she bought from the flower shop in the mall has no place to place.

Zhao Zhenhua naturally responded.
