The snail fans in Li Yuan's space were refreshed again. When she heard that it was just a small request, she nodded.
"Okay, then Mom will make it for you, and I'll also prepare a pastry for you that you haven't eaten before."
"Thank you, mother!"
Qingsha on the side heard that her mother had agreed to her sister's request, and she also said, "Mom, I want it for Shasha's birthday too."
"Okay, then when it's your birthday, Mom will make you a table of your favorite food and buy you a new set of clothes."
As she said that, she looked at Caiwei.
She didn't need to say anything about the latter, and waved her hand directly: "Mom, I have received a lot of new clothes for me in the past few months. Some are made by you, mom, and some are made by my aunt. Even my mother-in-law and eldest daughter-in-law made them. Grandma and the others also made them. In addition, in the past two days at my master's place, my grandma Han also prepared one for me and Shasha."
When Li Yuan heard that Qingmei was making clothes, she was stunned and asked, "She doesn't want to teach you how to put on makeup or something. Does she have time to make clothes?"
"It should be made by someone, but it's not as complicated as my master's clothes. Maybe my grandma Han took into account the place where we live, so she just cut and sewn simple cotton cloth without any embroidery on it. Otherwise, How much time."
With that said, Caiwei opened the baggage that she carried in the car, took out the clothes, shook them out and handed them to Li Yuan: "Mom, look, it looks like this. Shasha's is the same as mine, under the baggage, but it's smaller than mine. Some."
Li Yuan looked at the style, stretched out her hand to touch the fabric, and asked, "Did you thank Grandma Han?"
"Yes! So mom, I have so many clothes. I won't have to make winter clothes in the next year or two. You don't have to waste money on them. In the past in Shuiyun Village, I couldn't wear a new set of clothes for several years. This year I am very satisfied to have so much at once. In addition, I will also make money on my own. In addition to the red envelopes given by everyone during the Chinese New Year, I will make my own hair flowers and tie knots and sell them. The fabrics for the hair flowers are all If you make it yourself, with ordinary texture, you can sell it for a penny each."
Li Yuan didn't expect that she had such business experience, so she asked: "How did you know the price of the head flower without even going out in Su Mansion? Also, who taught you how to make it?"
"That's what the embroidery ladies at Master's house said. They all like me and will teach me embroidery, knotting, and hairdressing. They said that this price is provided by the industry in Master's name. There is no need to buy it. What a good cloth to make, just use cloth ends.”
As she spoke, she opened another big baggage, "Mom, these are the pieces of cloth that the embroiderers usually saved and wanted to throw away but were reluctant to part with. They said they were given to me. I plan to make more on my way back. Then I will give them to Miaomiao. Sister, and my aunt. By the way, mother, do you want it?"
"I don't need it! Since you have a plan, then do it when you have free time. Don't you want to learn so many things? When you are tired of embroidery and relax, you can do some braiding or do a headband. In addition, it's good to do some embroidery. , you know how to read..."
"Mom, I can recognize a lot of words now and can read some books without even guessing. I think Uncle Xie, my uncle, and my third uncle are all busy right now, so I just want not to disturb them."
"If Mom is free, Mom will teach you! But Caiwei, you have to arrange what time you will do every day. Then Mom will teach you according to the time you arranged."
Caiwei thought about it for a while and said, "Mom, when you get up every morning from now on, you cook, Shasha lights the fire, and I clean the house. After dinner, my sister and I eat for two-quarters of an hour, then start reading for an hour, and then I Do embroidery work for half an hour. This is enough to make lunch. I will take care of it then, mother, you teach me. After the meal, eat for two quarters of an hour and take a half-hour lunch break. After getting up, I will continue to do embroidery work for one hour. hour, and then do the laundry.”
After saying that, she was stunned for a moment and asked: "Mom, do we still raise chickens and pigs at home?"
"If you don't raise it, you won't raise it for the next year."
A famine is coming. Raising pigs and chickens is not troublesome enough.
"You don't have to raise these things, and you don't have to work in the fields, so I'll do them almost every day. After dinner in the evening and the light is dim, I will start to tie the hair and make the hair. As long as you are skilled in these two, it is easy for your eyes. "
"Okay, you have a plan, then follow the plan you said first."
Xiao Qingsha, who was next to her sister, was a little anxious when she saw her sister saying so much and getting her mother's approval.
She was still young and didn't understand much, so she said, "Mom, there's Shasha, Shasha is with her sister."
Li Yuan reached out to touch her bun and said with a smile: "Okay, there is also salsa. I will learn from my sister every day."

When Li Yuan arrived home, Xie Yanzhi had not come back yet, but Chen Xing came.
He was waiting on the verandah. When he saw Li Yuan, he said: "Ms. Li, Xie Xiucai asked me to come over and say that he will be back later. He also reassured you that things have been arranged and we will set off at 10:00 tomorrow. In addition, let me tell you that he will come back later. Let me ask you, when will it be convenient to load the food into the truck?"
As soon as Li Yuan heard this, she knew that Xie Yanzhi must have gotten together with Meng Peng and the others, and probably gave others advice again.
Hearing this, she said, "Come with me!"
Before she went out, she had taken all the coarse grains that were going to be sent out from the space and placed them all in the empty room.
So just lead Chen Xing there right now.
Chen Xing pushed open two rooms in Li Yuan's house one after another. Seeing that they were filled with bags of grain, he asked, "Are these all given?"
"Yes, they are all coarse grains! There are sweet potatoes, rice, sorghum, corn, broken rice, corn flour, bean flour and so on. If you want to load the truck, you can do it now."
"Can I have a look?"
"Can!"
Chen Xing didn't open it after all. He just picked a few bags in the two rooms and touched them with his hands. Then he looked at Li Yuan and said, "The Qian Mansion was stolen last night!"
When Li Yuan saw him like that, she knew that she and Xie Yanzhi were extremely sensitive to others when they were giving food to the people at this time.
Just now he asked to see the food, fearing that he might doubt whether it was done by them.
Even though her brother Xie and Meng Peng had a good relationship, they still had to investigate if they should.
So now she had a surprised expression on her face and asked: "Qian Mansion? Is it Tongpan Mansion? How could it be stolen? Who is so brave to steal things there?"
Chen Xing didn't really doubt that Xie Yanzhi and his wife had stolen the items in the Qian Mansion.
After all, how could a scholar with no power and a divorced wife from the countryside have such great ability to steal things under the eyes of many nurses in the Qian Mansion.
He heard from the steward of the Qian Mansion that the Qian Mansion had saved enough food to feed the whole family for half a year.
Everything in the mansion's warehouse was also gone, and Mrs. Qian's dowry was also stolen.
According to the steward of the Qian Mansion, the total amount is more than three thousand taels. Please help his master to catch the thief.
They also said that there was so much food that it was difficult for thieves to transport it, so they only needed to check the people who were transporting the food out of the city.
