Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 135 Tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hat

There is strength in numbers. After a day's journey, everyone was exhausted. They only took a break for a cup of tea at noon and spent the rest of the time on the road.

A group of people were exhausted from traveling, which was a very difficult thing for other families because they could not eat enough every day.

Moreover, if people don’t eat salt, they really have no strength. But for Zhao Qiaoniang, as long as she eats and drinks enough every day, she can run faster than ordinary people.

When it was time to rest, the men got to work and started working with the carpenter on the wheelbarrow.

Lin Datou said, "I really love this unicycle. With it, I don't have to carry everything with me every day."

"It does save effort, but I plan to put some wooden boards on top. When the time comes, I can put these boards together and use them to block the wind." said the young carpenter.

In fact, he just wanted to build a house that could be disassembled at any time. This may not be easy for others, but for him, it is no problem.

They worked all night and woke up in the morning full of energy, having added two more wheelbarrows.

There were more than a dozen wooden boards on the wheelbarrow, and during the day, Sun Mei and Wang Qiuju looked at them with something strange in their eyes.

Wang Qiuju was completely driven out of Wangjia Village, and now the villagers hate her to the core.

Wang Qiuju looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said, "He's sawing wood again. He has so many wheelbarrows. Do he have enough space for them?"

Sun Mei sneered and said, "Who knows? But a wheelbarrow is indeed much better than a flatbed cart like ours."

Wang Qiuju looked at Lin Dachang lying on the flatbed cart and said, "Your Dachang is quite comfortable. He just needs to lie down..."

Lin Dachang raised his head and said, "How about I break your legs and let you lie here."

"That's not necessary. Oh! Dachang! You should gamble less! You are already an adult." Wang Qiuju muttered.

Old Lady Lin snorted coldly, "Who do you think you are? You're giving orders here, Wang Qiuju. Do you have the right to speak here?"

In the past, Wang Qiuju was not at home every day, and she would occasionally bring back some prey, so the family was quite harmonious.

But now it’s different. Wang Qiuju and Lin Dafu were driven back, and Lin Xiaohu and Lin Xiaobao were also driven back. Now the house is very lively, with four children quarreling and making noise every day.

Old Lady Lin naturally disliked her, and Wang Qiuju didn't tolerate her. She stood up and asked, "What's the matter? You still don't want me to talk?"

Old Lady Lin stared at her and said:

"Wang Qiuju, you have no right to speak here, think carefully.

You can live at home, but at least you should contribute to the family, right?"

Wang Qiuju sneered:

"I just came back to stay for two days. Why didn't you tell me about this when you brought back so many prey before?

Now you just think I can't catch any prey, right?"

Old Lady Lin looked at her and said, "You are quite self-aware. There are only so many things at home. If you don't go out hunting, what will we eat?"

All the things in the house were brought back by Sun Mei, even the water in the house was brought back by her.

Lin Dasheng is responsible for pulling the cart every day, which is also a strenuous job. He is also responsible for taking care of Lin Zaozao. Now that Lin Zaozao can crawl, he naturally needs more attention.

What's more, people nowadays are like crazy. They want to sell or eat any child they see.

There are a lot of people who steal children. Recently, two children have been lost in the village. Lin Dasheng does not dare to be careless at all. He hugs Lin and goes to bed early at night. He wakes up immediately if there is any movement.

Old Man Lin is responsible for pushing the cart and is also responsible for the safety of the house. Now that Lin Dafu is back, the two of them take turns to keep watch.

Old Mrs. Lin is responsible for cooking. If she doesn’t cook now, there will be no food to eat.

Lin Dachang is responsible for teaching the children to read and write. He has been very hardworking recently. He reads until three o'clock in the morning every day and even pulls Lin Ze and Lin Han to read with him.

Lin Cuicui has been feeling unwell recently, but she keeps a low profile every day, rushing to do everything, as if she has turned herself into a little maid.

Sun Mei is not destined to be a wife, but she loves to do this.

Lin Cuicui would boil water for her every morning, wait for her to get up, and take care of her. She felt very happy about it.

Wang Qiuju said, "You don't have to tell me. I'll take people out hunting when we get to a place suitable for hunting."

Old Mrs. Lin stopped talking, and everyone stopped walking. Master Bai and his group also started looking for a place to sleep tonight.

Finally, we found a place where there was a protrusion on the mountain wall above, which could block most of the wind and rain, just like a natural roof.

"Let's rest here for a while!" said Master Bai.

Lin Datou nodded and said, "Then let's rest at the nearby rock wall. It's quite nice here. At least there's no wind."

Mrs. Bai started to cook dinner. She lit the fire and said, "Let's have porridge tonight! Put some yam in it..."

The yam porridge was quite good. She also added some chestnuts and said, "It can be used as a snack."

Children really like to eat chestnuts, they are fragrant and glutinous.

The yam porridge was ready soon. Everyone drank it and soon felt warmed up.

Mrs. Bai made a few pairs of winter cloth shoes and said, "These are shoes for the children. I think they are too cold in single shoes."

The children changed their shoes one after another, and a large group of them surrounded Mrs. Bai and said, "Thank you, Grandma Bai..."

Mrs. Bai touched their heads and said, "You're welcome. Try them on and tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Okay..." All the children put on new shoes, the soles of which were very soft.

Making shoe soles is a delicate job. First, multiple layers of fabric must be cut into the shape of the sole. These fabrics are made from old clothes.

Although the “thousand layers” in the thousand-layer sole is a bit exaggerated, it is also made of multiple layers of cloth stacked together, usually seven or eight layers or even more.

Mrs. Bai carefully glued the layers of cloth together with rice paste and placed them in the sun to dry and harden.

Next, use an awl to poke small holes on the soles of the shoes, and then use a long hemp or cotton thread to thread the needle and start sewing the soles.

The needle carries the thread through the small hole, up and down, and each stitch must be tightened with force, leaving rows of neat and tight stitches on the sole, like a carefully drawn grid.

The thread and cloth are tightly interwoven to make the sole thick and strong.

The soles of winter shoes will be thicker, with a layer of soft cotton in the middle, which will keep you warmer.

When sewing this kind of sole, you must also be careful not to let the filling inside run around, and the stitches will be finer and denser, so that the sole made in this way will be warm and comfortable to wear.

All the children's faces were filled with smiles. Madam Bai took out the tiger-head shoes and hats she had made and said, "My dear, look, these tiger-head shoes and hats grandma made for you. Aren't they beautiful?"
