Chapter 286 Does Our Father Have Any Private Money?
The five brothers and sisters were all here now, and Brother Monkey said happily: "Look at the things, pick out the ones you like, and keep the remaining three sisters."
Girls, even if they don't care about dressing up, they still like beautiful things.
Now not only Lingyu and Lingsu, but also Qixun, who felt that putting on makeup and dressing up was a waste of time, were pulling at the things in the box and looking at them with great interest.
Among them is a box containing sets of palace flowers. If you don't look carefully, these palace flowers made of silk yarn are no different from flowers. They are as exquisite as works of art.
Qi Xun admired: "Such a craft is incredible. It is indeed something made in-house."
What Xin Ruoxia can give away, even if it is made in-house, is definitely a high-quality product.
However, no one in the family wore flowers. Each of the three sisters picked a set for their collection. The rest, Lingsu said: "The palace flowers are no better than others. After being kept for a long time, they lose their bright color and become unsightly. Isn't there a few years ago?" Are the sisters in this village getting married? I am sure they will like this as a gift."
Lingyu also thinks this is a good idea.
Thinking about what happened to Gong Hua in the previous life, I couldn't help but laugh.
Things that I once cared about are now in a different state of mind, and when I think about them again, I feel like things are right and people are different.
Of course, in addition to adding makeup and jewelry to the married girls of the same clan, these palace flowers and materials, as well as rouge and gouache, Lingsu also picked out some and gave a portion to each of his aunts and uncles. If I just keep it in my house, such a good thing will be buried.
Neighbor Zuo's aunt also got a share.
However, because he was pregnant, the rouge and moisture were not given. In addition to the palace flowers, there were also a few pieces of soft material suitable for children to make underwear.
Aunt Zuo didn't want to accept it. These were good things at first glance and were too expensive.
She had nothing to give as a gift in return. She had just finished making shoes for a few children and hadn't sent them over yet, so she ended up getting good things from others.
Why is this so embarrassing?
The person who came to deliver things was Qixun: "Don't refuse. These were given by a friend of my second brother in the capital for us sisters to wear and play with. But how could we use so many? It would be a waste to just leave them alone." Please share some of the things with everyone. Not only you, but also the aunts and uncles at the old house also have some."
There was a sense of intimacy in these words, and she was put together with her aunts with a different surname and her direct cousins, which meant that there was no difference between her and the aunts of the Yan family in the hearts of their brothers and sisters.
How could Aunt Zuo be unhappy after hearing this?
The Zuo family is the only surname in Yanjia Village, and she wishes she could have a few good friends in the village. Now the Yan family's little brothers and sisters treat her family as if they are their own.
Aunt Zuo smiled and said: "Then I won't be polite to you, Xiao Xun. By the way, don't rush back yet. I made two pairs of shoes for you brother and sister. Just wait, I will get them right away."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the inner room, took out a package from the large cabinet, and carried it back to the outer room.
These are very winter cotton shoes. The five siblings each have two pairs. One is thin and the other is thick. The stitching is fine and they feel warm at first glance.
Qixun felt that it would be comfortable to wear.
Seeing that she really liked it, Aunt Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the thing she gave was worthless and would be disliked by others.

Qixun smiled and said: "I don't know how to sew, but Third Sister and Xiaowu do, but they are busy, so we can only buy shoes from clothing stores. How can they be as thick and comfortable as those made by our own family? Auntie, My needlework is very good at first glance, and these shoes are really well made. Thank you for taking the trouble."
Aunt Zuo smiled and said, "I don't know if it will fit or not. I made it based on the size of your feet. If it doesn't fit, just tell me later and I will make two new pairs."
It was difficult to change the size of the shoes, so she made them slightly larger because the children were all growing up.
Qixun waved his hand: "You are pregnant with your brother. Doesn't it mean that pregnant women shouldn't strain their eyes too much? You can't keep doing needlework in the future." Gu
Aunt Zuo smiled and said: "As long as it is not a waste of time during the confinement period, it will be fine. We don't do heavy work at home. I am idle now. I can do a few needlework without any effort. There are two pairs in there that belong to Mr. Li. Mr. Li Rich people might be disgusted by it, but I did it because it was my intention."
The main reason is that Li Chu lives in the Yan family, and they may not know how to wear it, but it is hard not to just do it for him.
Qixun waved his hand: "Li Xiaochu said he is a rich young master, but in fact he is no different from us. He is not a squeamish child."
Aunt Zuo was relieved.
Qixun happily returned home carrying a package of shoes.
Lingsu also asked: "How come you, the person who delivers things, come back with a big bag of things? What are they?"
Qixun said happily: "Aunt Zuo made these shoes for us. Each of us has two pairs. Come over and try to see if they fit."
As soon as she said this, the brothers and sisters gathered around. Four pairs of men's ones were given to the two brothers, six pairs of women's ones, the two larger ones were from Lingsu, Qixun and Lingyu were similar in size, and the smallest one was It belongs to Li Chu.
Li Chu was surprised: "And mine?"
Although he has no shortage of shoes to wear, and the shoes made by the peasant woman are not very good-looking, his brothers and sisters have them, and so does he, and he feels quite happy.
After trying them on, they all fit perfectly. Although they are a little too big, they are actually very comfortable when wearing socks.
It won't be too small to wear all winter long.
Lingsu said guiltily: "I have been so busy that I didn't notice that my brother and sister's shoes are torn."
Especially for Lingyu, running around all day is a waste of shoes.
Aunt Zuo's family must have been careful and saw it, and then she thought of making shoes for them.
The ones I wear are the shoes that my fourth aunt, Si, took the time to make.
Lingyu was happiest, finally no longer having to worry about her two old shoes. She originally thought that if her brothers went to the county town recently, they would buy two pairs.
Speaking of which, my family is really rich, but my life seems to have nothing to do with wealth. What's rare is that no one feels bad about it.
Speaking of which, the soles of the shoes I bought were not carefully placed, the stitching was loose, and the starch material was not strong, so they were easily damaged.
Aunt Zuo's shoes are so thickly made.
Especially the soles are as thick as a finger width and are very wear-resistant. These two pairs of shoes will definitely last a whole winter.
Qixun couldn't bear to take them off after putting them on. Even Brother Monkey was very happy. He was the most restless. Fortunately, he went into the mountains most of the time and used flying shoes. Otherwise, his shoes would be the most worn out. quick.
Brother Monkey also sighed in a very down-to-earth manner: "Aunt Zuo is such a virtuous person. Uncle Zuo is so lucky."
Is this what Brother Monkey said?
The brothers and sisters all laughed.
Fusu teased him: "How about I ask my aunts to find a virtuous wife for you?"
Brother Monkey waved his hands with a sad look on his face: "The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is an eternal problem! I don't want to make sandwich biscuits! Is it not fun to practice? Or is it boring to refine weapons? Isn't it fun to be single? I finally saved some I don’t want my private money to be confiscated in the future. Speaking of which, does our father have any private money?"
This is really a mysterious topic.
