Brother Xiao's heart was pounding, he always felt that Xiao Le's words made him unbelievable, but right now he couldn't rush out to pick up the food and say to Qingqing: Come, eat, I prepared this for you.

That was scarier than ghosts.

Thinking of this, Second Brother Xiao's eyes dimmed, and he didn't know when he would be able to...

Xiao Le glanced at him sideways. In this era, although there are no chastity memorial archways, after the death of her husband, the parents-in-law will not let him go back to her mother's house, so she will have to live in her husband's house for the rest of her life.

If you want to remarry, unless your in-laws die.

But now Aunt Lu is in good health. If she hadn't encountered bandits in the original text, she might have lived another 20 years, which would be a small problem.

The smell of chicken soup radiated in the air, Qingqing, who was tired and hungry, couldn't help swallowing, the chicken she saw in the basket just now appeared in her mind, the color was so delicious.

But, but this basket is really weird, it doesn't matter if it appears on the path at night for no reason.

This is so weird.

Qingqing carefully walked to the side with the wooden bucket, bypassed the basket, stopped walking on the path, turned her head and walked towards the main road.

Brother Xiao became anxious, and quickly patted Xiao Le on the shoulder, "What to do, what to do!"

"Don't worry."

Xiao Le got up and carried the basket to the side with luck.

Qingqing almost held her breath and walked forward with a thunderous heartbeat. This time, she was relieved after walking about a distance without seeing the basket.

But when he turned the corner, he saw the basket on the stone slab, with a bowl of rice and a bowl of chicken on the side of the basket, and the chopsticks were placed between the two bowls.

Qingqing watched steadily.

"No problem this time," Xiao Le said firmly.

"Anyway, if the work is not done well, you don't want to take a penny away," Second Brother Xiao snorted twice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qingqing leave from around the corner.

Just when he was about to stand up, Xiao Le grabbed him, "Wait a little longer."

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Qingqing came back again, and she picked up the food and ate while crying.

After eating, Qingqing actually took the basket to the river again, washed the dishes, put them in the basket, and put them in the place where they ate just now.

She even knelt down and kowtowed a few times.

Seeing this scene, Second Brother Xiao's heart ached unbearably. After Qingqing left for a while, the two brothers went out. Second Brother Xiao picked up the basket and went back with Xiao Le.

"Why did she eat again?"

"Do you choose to starve to death, or eat to death."

"It's not dead, don't talk nonsense."

Brother Xiao raised his hand and knocked Xiao Le on the head.

Hearing the movement outside the courtyard gate, Brother Xiao, who was lying down, opened his eyes and wanted to go out to have a look, but when he thought that the two brothers were going out together, after thinking about it, he gave up his idea.

Since then, Xiao Le has been able to enter a penny 20 days a month, leaving twenty pennies free.

After the stone wall was built, Xiao Le pushed down the original old wall, and the courtyard gate naturally had to be redone.

He found suitable wood and fiddled with it alone.

Brother Xiao and Brother Xiao went to work in the next village again, and they didn't come back until they almost fell asleep at night.

"Sister-in-law, the handkerchief is embroidered."

On this day, Fourth Sister Xiao embroidered the handkerchief with great difficulty, and handed it to Aunt Xiao to see.

Aunt Xiao took it, looked carefully, and frowned slightly. Seeing this, Fourth Sister Xiao felt her heart pounding.

"Fourth Sister," Xiao Le leaned over to take a look, his brows furrowed even more than Mrs. Xiao's, "You are too perfunctory, you used to embroider better than this even with your eyes closed."

Fourth Sister Xiao was taken aback, "Is it that bad?"

"Take out your handkerchief and take a look."

Xiao Le said.

Fourth Sister Xiao really took out the handkerchief she used. This comparison is indeed a bit poor.

She blushed with embarrassment, not daring not to look at Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao sighed, "This handkerchief cannot be handed over."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, did you still buy the rest of the empty handkerchiefs?"

When Fourth Sister Xiao was about to cry with guilt, Xiao Le asked.

"Indeed." Mrs. Xiao looked at him in surprise, "I bought a few more when I went to the market last time."

"Fourth Sister," Xiao Le rolled up his sleeves, and glanced at him contemptuously, "Let Third Brother show you a hand!" "What do you mean by that?"

Fourth Sister Xiao asked with flushed eyes.

"Isn't it just embroidery? I saw that sister-in-law and you have been embroidering for so many years. Isn't that easy? Sister-in-law, please bring your handkerchief and needle and thread."

"This……"

Mrs. Xiao was a little hesitant. A white handkerchief cost five yuan. If the shopkeeper of the grocery store took it, she could earn about ten yuan for a piece.

If Xiao Le used it for fun, the five cents would be gone.

"Sister-in-law, bring it to him." Fourth Sister Xiao couldn't bear his eyes that looked at her like a waste, "I want to see how powerful Third Brother is!"

"Sister-in-law," Xiao Le raised his eyebrows, "Trust me, I'm much smarter than Fourth Sister."

"You! Sister-in-law!"

Fourth Sister Xiao looked at her aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"Third brother, this embroidery is not just for fun," Mrs. Xiao said.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, look at my hands," Xiao Le raised his hands, "They are long and beautiful, they must be good at embroidery."

"Hmph! I still don't believe that a man can embroider flowers!"

Fourth Sister Xiao gritted her teeth.

"Then I have embroidered it, but what should I do?"

"If you can embroider, I will give you all the money for one month's embroidery work!"

"Two months," Xiao Le stretched out two fingers, "You can't hand over these handkerchiefs, can't you make up for it?"

Fourth Sister Xiao glanced at the handkerchief in Mrs. Xiao's hand, "Okay! Then what if you can't embroider it?"

"Then I will listen to your two-month arrangement. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Xiao Le spread his hands, "Think about it, if you let me work as a coolie for two months, and then give you all the money I earn, wouldn't that be more than what you gave me?"

It's a real bargain.

But Fourth Sister Xiao glanced at Xiao Le's fair face, "How much hard work can you do with your thin skin and tender flesh?"

"That's more than you."

Xiao Le bared his teeth.

After looking at the two of them, Mrs. Xiao went into the room and took out a new handkerchief, as well as the sewing dustpan.

"I'll embroider it according to the flowers you embroidered," Xiao Le casually took a poorly embroidered handkerchief by Xiao Simei, and in front of his sister-in-law, within a quarter of an hour, a lifelike peony flower appeared in front of her. On the handkerchief.

The two sisters-in-law Xiao were dumbfounded.

It would take at least two days for Mrs. Xiao's men to embroider a handkerchief non-stop.

But when Xiao Le arrived, he came out in a quarter of an hour!

"Third brother, you are too powerful!"

Aunt Xiao said in shock.

"Small idea," Xiao Le waved the newly baked handkerchief in front of Simei Xiao's eyes, "How about it, Simei, don't forget that you have to give me all your embroidery money for two months."

Fourth Sister Xiao grabbed Xiao Le's arm and looked at him with bright eyes, "Third brother! You teach me!"

"Let me teach you?"

Xiao Le handed the handkerchief to Mrs. Xiao and looked at it with a smile on her face, "That's fine, provided you listen to me, this thing can't be abandoned halfway."

Fourth Sister Xiao nodded her head like garlic.

Next, when Xiao Le was embroidering, his eyes could not wait to hang on Xiao Le's hands.

Xiao Le didn't get up until Mrs. Xiao's sister-in-law's handkerchiefs were all embroidered, stretched her body, and rubbed her eyes.

"Third Brother," Fourth Sister Xiao chased after her, her face flushed slightly, "What else can you embroider?"

"I've seen all of you embroider," Xiao Le looked down at her, "For example, mandarin ducks, the mandarin ducks I embroider must be pretty."

"That's for sure," Xiao Simei nodded and said, "Can you teach me? I haven't embroidered mandarin ducks yet, so I want to try."

"You've never embroidered?"

The corner of Xiao Le's mouth twitched, so the purse he saw was embroidered by a dog?

"Of course," Fourth Sister Xiao said shyly, "After all, it's a mandarin duck, third brother, I won't argue with you again, just teach me."

"At your current level, embroidering pheasants is even difficult." Xiao Le pushed her away in disgust. "It's better to start from the basics honestly. When you have a solid foundation, everything you embroider will look good."

"What is the basis?"

Fourth Sister Xiao asked.

"It's the simplest pattern. You embroider first, and then check the embroidered ones."

"You didn't teach me how to embroider?"

Fourth Sister Xiao was very anxious.

"Then help me with my work first."

Xiao Le said.

Fourth Sister Xiao pouted, "Don't take this opportunity to oppress me."

She learned the word oppression from Xiao Le.

"Then don't you take the opportunity to oppress? I have to oppress you severely," Xiao Le didn't hide his purpose at all. "If you want to learn, just do it. If you don't want to learn, I won't force you. is yours."

It is also true to think so, Xiao Simei was shocked by Lu's hand just now, if she had this kind of embroidery skills in her hands, she would be able to make money for the rest of her life.

In this way, Ming Lang will not have to worry about money in the future.

Thinking of this, Fourth Sister Xiao gritted her teeth and really started to help Xiao Le.

Mrs. Xiao was still looking at the handkerchiefs one by one, and after digesting Xiao Le and this craftsmanship, she carefully put them away. These few handkerchiefs can be sold for thirty yuan a piece, which is comparable to They embroider much better.

so amazing.

Not only Fourth Sister Xiao wanted to learn, but even Mrs. Xiao was very interested.

That night, when Brother Xiao packed up and went into the room to rest, he saw Mrs. Xiao's bright eyes holding a handkerchief and watching.

"You've been watching since I came back, and haven't seen enough yet?"

Brother Xiao asked.

"Do you know who embroidered this?"

Aunt Xiao asked.

"Didn't you embroider it?"

"If I can embroider such a good thing," Mrs. Xiao put it away carefully, "then the life of the family will be better."

"Then who embroidered this?"

Brother Xiao asked curiously.

"Well," Mrs. Xiao raised her lips, "you will know later."

"what?"

Brother Xiao's curiosity was aroused, but sister-in-law Xiao went to bed very irresponsibly.

"I'm thirsty."

It was another sunny day, Xiao Le finished the courtyard door, and said while wiping his sweat while installing it.

"I'm coming!"

Fourth Sister Xiao brought cool mint water in a very doggy manner, "Third Brother, drink it slowly."

Xiao Le drank it all in one gulp, "One more bowl."

"Coming soon!"

When Mrs. Xiao's natal sister-in-law came over, she was very surprised when she saw this scene. After all, it is not common for the two siblings to get along so well.

"Sister Chen."

Xiao Le was the first to see her, "Come in and sit down, my sister-in-law is over there in the kitchen."

Every time Mrs. Chen comes over, she always looks for Mrs. Xiao.

"Hey," Mrs. Chen replied, holding a bag of things in her arms, and after glancing at them angrily, she went to the kitchen.

"Yunniang," Mrs. Chen walked into the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Xiao got up.

"Come on, this is the medicine I asked for specially," Mrs. Chen handed the package in her arms to Mrs. Xiao.

Sister Xiao's mouth twitched, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to ask for these medicines for me."
