"Mother, this color is really beautiful!”
"Right? The color I picked is just right for this one. Do you think we should find another color for this one?”
"I think this is quite good. We've already used seven colors. Don't take any more. Can you embroider a sparser dot here so that it looks empty?”
"Embroider sparsely? Let me try and see if it looks good!"
The mother and son studied the embroidery as they worked. Soon, the first imitation of Su embroidery was born. Although it was still far from the real Su embroidery, it was much better than the current embroidery.
The mother and daughter looked at the finished product that had just been embroidered and were really excited.
"Little Jia, this is too beautiful. Mother can't believe that I embroidered this.
"Mother, you are too amazing. Even if you try to embroider it, it is so beautiful. If you embroider it carefully, it will be even more beautiful!”I flattered him.
"I'll just take the end of this hand clap and lock it at the side. This is for your father to use. This is the first embroidery that we made together. Your father will be happy!”My mother said happily.
She quickly finished the handkerchief and locked the edges. It was so beautiful in her hand.
"If this is sold, it will definitely be very expensive!" Unconsciously, I said what was in my heart.
"Hehe, little money-grubber, but mother also thinks that if you sell this, you can give a high price!
Alright, that's all for today. We have to go to your grandma's house for dinner later.”
“？？Go to Grandma's house for dinner?"
"Yeah, we haven't been back for a few days. We have to go over and take a look. Although we don't live in the same courtyard as your grandmother's house, we usually have dinner together! Besides, if we don't go, we'll suffer a loss. Our family has to pay your grandfather and grandmother a month. One tael of silver a month!”
"Shall we go now?"
"That's right. Mother still has to help cook over there!”
"Mother! I heard that you can't cook! He would help out. I've been here for so many days and I haven't seen you do anything. My grandma said that you only know how to make porridge!”I complained in my heart.
She packed up her things and took the food box that she had given me before and brought me out.
It turned out that Grandma's house was very close to us in an alley. My house was at the entrance of the alley, and Grandma's house was only three households away from us in the alley.
"Mother, sister-in-law, we're here!”
After entering the courtyard, my mother shouted loudly.
"You're here!" An old lady in her fifties came out of the kitchen. She should be my grandmother.
"Mother, we're here. Are we going to start cooking now?”
"No, it's still early. I just want to see what dishes there are. I'll cook them later. If I cook too early, not everyone will come back and we'll have to wait!”
"You guys go in for a while. Your sister-in-law said she was going to buy tofu and will be back soon.”
"Alright, I'll put the food box in the kitchen first! By the way, mother, did you sleep in the afternoon?”
"I slept. I just woke up."
"Xiao Juan? Still sleeping there?"
"She should be up. I heard the child crying just now.”
"Mother, I'm back!" Eldest Aunt came back empty-handed.
"Didn't you go to buy tofu? Where's the tofu?"
"Mother, don't mention it. Tofu is too expensive now. In the past, it was one wen, but now it's four wen. Moreover, you have to order it in advance.”
"Tofu for 4 coins? Then I won't buy it. If I have the money, I'll go eat meat!”The old lady mumbled.
"The meat has also increased. I saw Dayi's mother just now. She said that today's pork belly is 22 copper coins. I only bought it for 18 coins yesterday. The price has risen too much!”
"22 coins per catty? Aiya! This world is not letting people live anymore!”The old lady was shocked. The price had risen too quickly.
"Mother, did our family buy food recently? If the price of these things increased so much, wouldn't the food be even more expensive?”My mother asked.
"There's no rush to buy them at home. Who knows, the price might drop one day.”the old lady replied.
When my mother heard this, she didn't say anything else. If she said too much, she would cry and ask us to take the money.
"Then what are we eating tonight? Is there enough food?"
"You don't even know if there's enough food every day. If it doesn't work, then deal with some salted vegetables!
Second Brother, do you still have the sour beans you took last time? If you have, take some!"
"No, I brought them all last time. I was going to marinate them for the next few days, but I forgot! If it didn't work, he would just fry eggs. Xiaojuan needed to eat some meat to feed her, not even vegetables and pickles.”
"Sigh! There aren't many eggs left." As he spoke, he looked at us as if he wanted us to go home and take it!
Seeing this, my mother didn't continue speaking.
The old lady didn't say anything. After a while, she went into the house and came out with four eggs in her hand.
"Here, don't put too much oil. Everything is expensive now!”
"Got it, Mom. Go to your room and rest. We'll cook later.”First Aunt said as she took the egg.
"Yes, I'll go to Xiao Juan's room to see the children. They're all debt collectors!”
...
"Sister-in-law, we didn't prepare any rice or noodles? When I was at my maternal family, I heard that there might be a restriction on buying grain for a period of time!”
"Mother, how can you buy it if you don't take out the money? His father gave him a tael of silver in private and said that he could buy as much as he could. Even the current price of 100 catties of rice was not enough!”
"How much is the rice now? When my brothers bought it, it seemed that Chen Mi was 10 wen per catty!”
"It's 15 copper coins now, and some of them are mixed with sand. Every rice shop is lining up now. Although there's no limit on the number of catties bought, I think it's going to be soon.”
Hearing this, my mother and I looked at each other and thought that it was fortunate that we bought more early.
Grandma would probably ask for money to buy food during dinner tonight.
...
"Father, you're back!" I was picking vegetables when I heard my mother call out. He looked up and saw a tall and thin old man entering the courtyard. This should be his grandfather. My grandfather was really tall. He was at least 185 years old. He was very thin, but he was full of energy. She strolled home with a pair of walnuts in her hands.
"Oh, Second Brother is back! Did you go to your mother's house again?"
"Yes, I went back to my mother's house. I had something to ask my father to do.”
"Oh, okay, go get busy!"
After saying that, Grandpa entered the house.
"Father, Mother, we're back!" Not long after Grandpa entered the house, another family came in. There were two adults and four children. The children were all about my age.
"Third Brother is back. You guys really know how to calculate the time and come back at mealtime!”At this moment, Eldest Aunt came out of the kitchen and said mockingly.
"Sister-in-law, aren't we in a lot of trouble?”
"Third Brother, you're the only one who's so troublesome. You always come to eat at the right time every day. Hmph!”the old lady said.
"Aiya, that's enough. Third Brother, don't just stand there and help out!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl who had just entered took the initiative to pick the vegetables.
"Boss and the others aren't back yet?"
"He went to Zhong Xuezheng's house to pick up Fu Yi. He'll be back soon!”the old lady said.
"Second Brother? When are you coming back?"
"Father and Mother forgot to tell you that I went to my mother's house these few days to pull some strings for my Liangcheng. My father found a public office in the government office.
He might come back late on the first day! We don't have to wait for him. I'll bring him back after eating.”
Everyone in the courtyard fell silent.
