Chapter 108
"What are you doing, you don't even care about food."
Master Li made an excuse: "Sister Su's clothes are ready."
Sister Qing's clothes made?
Li Xiaoxiao took a closer look and found that the black skirt Ru Ru was wearing was indeed something she had never seen before. It should be a new dress. The style was very similar to the school uniform she had seen before in the Republic of China.The waist is slightly tightened, and the skirt below is knee-length.
This black old cloth gives people a very elegant feeling. Sister Qing also embroidered three small plum blossoms on the corner of the sleeve corner with red thread. After Ru Ru put it on, she pursed her lips and smiled.He looked like he was running wildly in the field.
She said loudly: "It's beautiful!"
When Sister Qing saw her, she said, "Quick, you can change it up too."
Li Xiaoxiao immediately took the skirt and went back to her room to change it on. The size was just right. The clothes she bought from outside always had a loose waist and big pants, so she needed to buckle the belt, but this dress didn't. It was specially measured by Sister Qing.Made to her size, it fits just right everywhere.
She stood on tiptoe and looked around, she was really satisfied with everything.
The embroidered corners of her clothes are different from Ru Ru's. They are not plum blossoms but orchid grasses. The slender orchid leaves are very elegant. She fondly touches them, and thinks the new clothes are very beautiful.
To put it bluntly and shamelessly, she felt that she looked extraordinarily good-looking in such beautiful clothes.
With this in mind, she came out cautiously, a little embarrassed to look into everyone's eyes, a little looking forward to everyone's reaction, and a little worried because she felt good about herself, but in fact, this beautiful dress didn't look good on her.
But this is actually Li Xiaoxiao thinking too much. People with dark skin look dirty in clothes, but people with fair skin look very clean in comparison, especially when her skin is moisturized by loofah water, it is translucent and fair., It's too good to be good, even the batch of sacks is good.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't wait for anyone to speak for a long time, and she was very nervous, why no one spoke, maybe it's because she looks weird in clothes, and everyone is embarrassed to speak because of affection.
Thinking of this, she was going to change the skirt, and just turned around, she saw Brother Mo, and couldn't help but panic, and then heard Brother Mo say.
"nice."
Chapter 84
Su Qing made a set of clothes for everyone. The patterns on the clothes are very careful, everyone's clothes are different, and the common feature is that they look good.
Considering that it is inconvenient to wear skirts, Su Qing also made Li Xiaoxiao and Ru Ru a pair of matching pants, which are also very beautiful, and both she and Ru Ru couldn't put it down.
It is troublesome to make clothes by yourself, but the finished product is really amazing, not to mention soft and skin-friendly on the body, after all, the material is genuine cotton, nothing else is added, and the tailoring fits perfectly. It is completely made according to her size, not too tight in the chest, but too fat in the waist.
Anyway, when Li Xiaoxiao was eating soybean stewed chicken, the smile on her face never came down.
Master Li and the others could see it. Master Li used a male spoon to beat chicken legs for Li Xiaoxiao. There are only two drumsticks per chicken. His little daughter must eat them, and he joked: "Look at how happy Xiao Xiao is,The corners of your mouth are flying into the sky."
Li Bo added: "Is she so happy? She is so happy, even her hair is full of joy."
Li Xiaoxiao glared at Li Bo, and touched the corner of her mouth subconsciously. Is it high? It's a little bit up, but it won't fly into the sky: "Go, what do you know, I'm just happy to wear new clothes, right?Ru Ru?"
Ru Ru lowered her head and drank the soybean and chicken soup, as if she didn't hear her words, she chewed the stewed soybeans carefully, until her eyes were covered by her eyelashes, as if there was only herself and the chicken and soybeans left in the world.
Li Bo had to shiver: "Ha! Ha! You can't even fool a little girl who is less than ten years old."
"Tch, who lied," Li Xiaoxiao shoved his chopsticks into his mouth, "Eating meat can't stop your mouth, do you need me to do it again for you?"
She was worrying about it, and she was always planned by others, and she couldn't think well, so she felt very irritable.
"Xiao Xiao is looking for someone."
"Xiao Xiao is looking for someone again."
"Xiao Xiao cut up the watermelon and sell it in slices?"
The last question was asked by a chubby woman with a shrewd and fierce face, as if she was not easy to mess with, but Li Xiaoxiao noticed that the other party clenched her hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would refuse, even so, the woman bit the bullet and asked, It should be because I really want to buy watermelon to go back.
Li Xiaoxiao looked soft-hearted, the cut watermelon could not be finished, and they would not waste it if they ate it themselves. Since the woman wants so much, let the other party do it: "Sell."
The housewife breathed a sigh of relief visibly, let go of her clenched hands, and carefully took the small triangular watermelon, but instead of eating it herself, she handed it into the basket behind her, when suddenly a wrinkled hand stretched out from inside,Only then did Li Xiaoxiao realize that there was an old man sitting in the basket. There must be no room for the whole person in such a big place, and the old man probably had a problem with his legs.
The old man was very old, his lips were shriveled and shriveled. He took the watermelon tremblingly and ate it slowly. The old man wiped his eyes with his palm, and a smile appeared on Gu Gu's face.
The woman was happy to see the old man, and she was also happy. She took the leftover watermelon from the old man and ate it. After eating the red soil, she was still reluctant to part with the white meat.Inhale the sweetness of watermelon.
Finally, Li Xiaoxiao watched the woman fasten the bag, get up with the basket on her back, and walk outside step by step.
After the woman left, she and Li Bo didn't speak for a long time, and finally she said: "Set up a small stall here by the blueberry fence, and sell this watermelon, whether it's a piece or a piece, if someone wants to buy it, we will buy it."Sell."
Li Bo thought for a while: "I think it's okay, let's get some other fruits and vegetables from the farm and put them on, and ask Ru Ru to come and watch over them. She doesn't need to let the chickens out now, and the eagle is too big to feed her.You don’t need her to carry it up to your knees, just in time to guard the stall.”
Li Xiaoxiao thinks this is a good idea. Opposite the stall is a guard booth, guarded by soldiers with live ammunition. Even if someone has bad intentions, they dare not mess around.
It's better to put the stall next to Brother Bing's guard booth, so that the deterrent effect will be greater, and you can watch Ru Ru, if there is a villain who has no conscience to deceive the little girl, Brother Bing can teach him to be a man.
She called Ru Ru over and asked the little girl about addition and subtraction. The result was very worrying. The little girl had never been to school, so she didn't know what addition and subtraction are. She didn't even know that one plus two equals three, let aloneTalk about other more complicated arithmetic.
This worried her and her parents, Li Bo.
A child of Ru Ru's age is in the right time to study, but was delayed by the disaster and her studies were wasted. She doesn't even know the most basic arithmetic, and other knowledge can be imagined.
Wait, she suddenly thought of a question, is the little girl really literate? Ru Ru reads with her every day, can she understand what is written on it?
Li Xiaoxiao wrote several words on the ground with a wooden stick, and asked the little girl what she was, but the result made her heart sink. Ru Ru really didn't know her. The only comforting thing was that the little girl could write her own name, and then...
And then it's gone.
Li Bo didn't say anything anymore, but he still didn't want to.
After Su Qing finished making clothes out of the cloth, she used the remaining odds to make close-fitting clothes for the women in her family.
Li Xiaoxiao likes it very much. It feels softer and sweat-absorbent than before, and it is suitable for sticking to the skin. The material used to wear it always feels stuffy. Now the whole body is completely new, the equipment is upgraded, and she sleeps soundly. She wakes up on time in the morning to soft music, Crack open two boiled eggs to eat, and taste the smooth, tender and delicious taste of the eggs.
A good start to the day.
The chrysanthemums planted yesterday had buds, so she dug out the chrysanthemums and planted them in the two flower boxes in front of the wooden house. When planting the second box, she found that bees flew to the first flower box.
The bees landed on the flower buds and rubbed them with their forelimbs. The flower buds that had not yet bloomed bloomed, revealing the tender yellow petals and light-colored stamens inside. They were crowded together, which immediately made people feel the beauty and vitality of life.
Li Xiaoxiao straightened up, walked up the stairs, and came down again, looking at the two boxes of flowers at the bottom of the stairs, the flower clusters were swaying, paired with wooden stairs and carved railings, it was really pleasing to the eye, just looking at it made people feel happy,It was a waste of her spending so long on arranging it.
She then replanted chrysanthemums in the remaining empty flower boxes, and the original dull bluestone road became full of life, and suddenly it was different.
Li Bo and others who passed by subconsciously stopped, bowed their heads to admire the fresh and tender flowers, or took a break to chew licorice root, and the slightly bitter fragrance of flowers nourished people's heart and spleen, soothed their throats that got angry in autumn.
Master Li praised his little daughter loudly: "Xiao Xiao is still smart, she knows how to grow chrysanthemums, it is beautiful and calms down, one flower can be used for multiple purposes, and she does not engage in vain formalism."
Li Bo's teeth felt sore when he heard it.
Look at what this said, if Xiao Xiao grows useless ornamental flowers, his father can still find out several advantages to praise, and if there is no advantage, he must create advantages. It's like he doesn't know, Li Bo is too lazy to expose his father,To prevent his father from becoming angry from embarrassment, from using his mouth to beating people.
Li Xiaoxiao bought quite a lot of chrysanthemum seeds, and there were still some leftovers in the flower box after planting, so she picked them and made chrysanthemum tea. The slightly astringent taste is suitable for drinking in autumn, it relieves the bitterness in the mouth, and brings refreshment and coolness, Clear the anger in the body, and even the breath is fresh for a while.
Everyone loves to drink it, and it seems to be the new favorite of Xiaomo Farm. Even the watermelon juice, which has always been highly sought after, has to be ranked behind the chrysanthemum tea..
The second time Li Bo heard the roar of the bone bus, he didn't get down in fright again.
If it is as she thought, once everyone knows that this big guy is harmless and will not be used for a day, some people will start to take the bus, especially the shopkeeper, instead of riding his electric tricycle, they will take the white bone bus instead. After all, electric cars eat gas.The gas fee is not cheap. He first moved the goods to the mouth of the bus, and the latter could help him swallow it into his stomach, and help him spit it out when he got off the bus. It was quite convenient.
Because of curiosity, Master Li took a bus with a bamboo card. His legs were weak when he came back, but he was very excited, as if a child got a novelty toy, and his eyes were full of novelty.
Because of this bus line, the number of people who came to her farm to buy things suddenly increased. Li Xiaoxiao could be called out three hundred times a day. She was thinking about how to use stone crabs. Although they can be made into agricultural tools, such a hard shellThe sub is not easy to damage, which also means that it is not easy to process.
How to make agricultural tools is a problem.
Li Xiaoxiao was heartbroken, why didn't she discover this problem before, she said to Li Bo who was squatting silently on the ground: "Da Bo, I jio can't go on like this."
Li Bo said sullenly: "I know."
When Ru Ru was first called over, she was very happy and actively wanted to help everyone, but things changed later. Ru Ru couldn’t answer her sister’s father’s questions, and the atmosphere changed immediately, and her father was also very unhappy.She looked disappointed, did she do something wrong?
Ru Ru pinched her fingers and dared not speak, and felt very uncomfortable, she especially couldn't accept her sister being disappointed in her.
Li Xiaoxiao noticed that Ru Ru's mood was not right, so she grabbed the little girl's hand to prevent the other party from trampling on her fingers, while stroking the child's furry head: "It's not Ru Ru's problem, my sister is angry at her negligence, noI noticed Ru Ru's situation and failed to take good care of you."
Ru Ru hugged Li Xiaoxiao's waist, and retorted loudly: "No, my sister treats me the best, and I like my sister the most!"
Li Xiaoxiao touched the child's head again, but fortunately, it was not too late to find out, and she set aside some time at noon to teach Ru Ru to read. This must be learned. You can't be illiterate. If you don't know words, you will be very passive in the future.
If you learn less, you will suffer. This is a truth that she has only realized not long ago, and because she suffers a lot, she has a deep feeling. It was when she paid close attention to learning that Ru Ru, a big illiterate, appeared in front of her., why not make her worry.
Li Xiaoxiao asked the patrol battalion to buy a new notebook and pen as the little girl's study materials.
In the end, if the small stalls were still set up, she and Li Bo thought of a way to sell the fruits and vegetables separately. Originally, the number of people who came to buy would be small. In addition, the crops and fruits here are about the same size, so each one is fixed.For sweet potato noodles, if you buy two, you pay twice for sweet potato noodles, and if you want three times, you pay three times. In short, buy several and pay several times.
The trouble is that it is a little troublesome, but it is better to be clear and not chaotic.
Ru Ru can still recognize the amount of sweet potato noodles. Paying twice does not involve arithmetic. She also figured out that there is no problem with independent operation. Maybe if there are too many operations, the little girl can learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Even if there is something really wrong, this little sweet potato noodles can be regarded as the tuition fee for a little girl to learn arithmetic and to sell goods independently, and Li Xiaoxiao can still afford this little money.
Ru Ru looked very nervous, her eyes swept back and forth on the fruits and vegetables and the sliced watermelon, muttering something, Li Xiaoxiao could hear the price of the fruits and vegetables being recited by the other party.
Why is it so painful.
She originally wanted to say something to comfort the little girl, but then she thought it would be useless if she said it. It would only make Ru Ru more nervous. Some things can only be known by herself after facing the experience.Well, it's nothing.
The aunts didn't notice the little girl's resistance, and they were all focused on the juicy vegetables. They picked up the fruits and vegetables and looked at them: "Hey, this is fresh, how do you sell it?"
"There's also watermelon. It looks like the flesh is red and ripe. What's the price?"
"I think these two potatoes are pretty good. There are few potholes and no bug holes, but the variety of things is a bit less."
"Cabbage is also good, but one is too big to eat in a day, let's share one, half for you and half for me?"
"I think it's okay, this cabbage is really juicy."
Ru Ru calmed down a little amidst their discussion, you can do it, Ruru, you can't let her sister down, she took the opportunity to make a quotation with a hoarse voice, the discussion stopped suddenly, she was a little scared, but she still held on firmly: "I,I'm not bargaining, it's already very cheap."
One of them muttered, "Where is the price so cheap?"
Ru Ru seriously explained: "It's cheap. Our vegetables don't have radiation, and they are more expensive when they are sold in urban areas. If you want cheap ones, you can look at this tomato."
She picked up the tomato and showed it carefully: "The radiation value is ninety-two, which is relatively high but not more than one hundred."
My sister has fed the functional apple leaves for so many days, and the value of the tomatoes has finally dropped below 100, and they have become safe food again.
Ru Ru really recommended it for them. Unexpectedly, the two of them didn’t even look at the tomato, and they still grabbed the potato and cabbage and were reluctant to let go. “Oh, it’s cheaper, it’s still too expensive.”
"That's right, the salt we've eaten is more than the road you've traveled, so you can't make a mistake, it's cheaper for you."
"Your price is not suitable, we will leave."
The two said it was cheap, and they were right. Ru Ru's brain was swollen and her thoughts were messed up after arguing, but she didn't let go. This is the price Sister Xiao Xiao gave her, and she must follow this price.Selling, it is impossible to reduce the price.
The two men talked for a long time, their saliva was dry, and they gave up without saying the price: "Then take four potatoes, one cabbage, and pay the bill."
"My mother, little girl, you are a small person, and you have a lot of ideas. You are so smart. You are not moved by saying this."
The dizzy Ru Ru blinked, this, this is the sweet potato noodles?Don't you want to leave, but the sweet potato noodles are already in front of you, so Ru Ru separates the sweet potato noodles first, and then weighs them with a scale.
The first time the quantity was not right for one piece of potato, she added and subtracted, and finally weighed out the correct weight, and then went to weigh the second piece of potato and the third piece.
And after doing it successfully, people will become confident.
Li Xiaoxiao and Li Bo spent half the morning, and with the help of Brother Bing, set up a small booth next to the guard booth. In order to prevent the little girl from getting sunburned and the fruits and vegetables from being sunburned, she dug out the old stalls she had used before.The sunshade net, pulled three layers above the booth, even though the sunshade net has mesh, this
