The ancient life of a master craftsman

Yunli was a little curious, but more surprised, "Brother Li, you can also draw clothes, how do you feel that you can do everything?"

"It's just a random painting, and it's a coincidence that Hu Fulang takes a fancy to it." Li Enbai said modestly.

Hu Fulang answered from the side, "Linfeng's words are too modest. I like this drawing very much when I see it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in a hurry to sign the contract."

He saw that both Yunli and Brother Qing were very curious, and he knew that there was no way to talk any more today, so he drew a drawing to show them, "I can only show you one, don't tell it." .”

But was stopped by Li Enbai, "Let's wait until little brother Zhou makes the real thing and see it. Now that I see it, there will be no surprises then."

Among his sketches, women accounted for the majority, and only one or two were by younger brothers, which were still a bit like men's styles.Seeing Yunli's curious and expectant eyes, Li Enbai subconsciously wanted to stop him, not wanting Yunli to know that he drew a bunch of portraits of women.

On the contrary, Hu Fulang thought nothing of it, he knew the two little brothers very well, as long as he said something that could not be said, neither Yunli nor the gossip-loving Qing brother would reveal a word.But seeing Li Enbai's obstruction, he also put away the drawing.

Li Enbai turned to ask Yunli, "Do you and Brother Qing have anything to buy?"

"Yes, the salt at home is almost gone, and the soybean oil is not much..." Yunli counted one by one, there are still a lot of things to buy.

"Where's Brother Qing?" Li Enbai asked Brother Qing again.

Brother Qing thought for a while, and said, "I don't have anything to buy, just bring me a bag of salt, Lizi." After finishing speaking, he took out the copper plate and handed it to Yunli, "No, just buy these money, me and Xiao Brother Jin chat for a while, and then wait for you at the gate of the town."

Yunli took the money, and he glanced at Li Enbai, and found that he had already carried the basket, so he didn't refuse to accompany him, "Okay, I'll go shopping first, let's meet at the gate of the town. Brother Xiaozhu, Brother Xiaojin , I will come to you next time."

Hu Fulang replied, "Well, let's go, I will go back to the village when I have time."

"That's great, my sister-in-law will be happy." Yunli is eager for Brother Xiaozhu to visit the village. His sister-in-law's due date is getting closer, and the family is about to be in turmoil. My sister-in-law also became uneasy.

He told his brother's embarrassment like a complaint, and finally added, "Brother Xiaozhu, it would be great if you could spare time to visit my house. My sister-in-law is already very tired with her big belly. My brother Adding to the chaos! I can’t talk to him.”

Hu Fulang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could probably guess what Yunhe was afraid of, but Yunli always came to him to complain. It seemed that Yunhe had been acting too obviously recently. I have to hand over this job to him, tell him after you go back, let him come to me tomorrow, and then I will talk to him well."

After receiving Hu Fulang's words, Yunli felt relieved, and hugged Hu Fulang, "Then I feel relieved."

Hu Fulang also hugged him back, and patted him on the back with his soft palm, "It's okay, you little brother, don't worry so much all the time, just come to me if you have anything, you know?"

"Well, I see." Yunli let go of Hu Fulang embarrassingly, "Then I'll go first, Brother Zhu."

"Well, keep an eye on the road." Hu Fulang smiled and watched the two leave.

Li Enbai kept watching them and didn't talk too much, but he felt that their way of getting along was a bit strange, just like when Yunli and Brother Qing arrived at the beginning, they arrived before their voices appeared, like a child who was bullied and ran away Like going home to sue, I started to feel wronged from a long distance away.

Moreover, Yunli is a very strong and independent little brother, and he usually looks shrewd and powerful, but he acts coquettishly in front of Hu Fulang, as if in front of Hu Fulang, he is just a child.

Thinking of this, Li Enbai suddenly thought of the Bai family, and Hu Fulang looked 25 or [-] years old this year, maybe it was because of empathy, Hu Fulang did favor Yunli a little bit.

Thinking about it this way, Li Enbai probably understood, but felt that Mrs. Bai should not appear in this family, not only made Yunli sad for no reason, but also made everyone in the family unhappy.However, Bai Shi is Yunli and Yunhe's biological mother after all, no matter how bad it is, their brothers will not want Bai Shi to be divorced and suffer the villagers' eyes.

Unless Bai shi commits a terrible death himself and completely enrages Yunhe, and makes Yun's three father and son completely give up on her, they will have no affection at all.This is very difficult, Bai's life is constantly on a daily basis, although the three father and son are getting more and more disappointed, they also unknowingly increased their tolerance for her.

Li Enbai did not expect that the idea of ​​letting Bai Shi leave that he thought about today would come in the near future, but by that time, many people would regret the current tolerance.

Yunli and Li Enbai first went to the grocery store he frequented to buy a few porcelain bowls. Two of the bowls at home were accidentally broken, so they could only be used as water for the chicken coop, and then they went to buy salt and oil.

Yunli is picking at the front, and Li Enbai consciously follows behind to carry things. The scene is so harmonious that one would think that this is a married couple.

In particular, Li Enbai never took his eyes off Yunli, and actively helped carry the heavy things. Yunli seemed to be used to it, and both of them were handsome, very conspicuous in the crowd.

They walked by talking and laughing on the street, and the passers-by couldn't help but take a look. This scene also fell into the eyes of the couple facing the street on the second floor of Zhangji Restaurant.

This couple is Chen Yingcai and Mrs. Zhang, who is six months pregnant. Mrs. Zhang looked at the absent-minded husband suddenly looking angrily at the street, and followed her gaze.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but tighten her handkerchief. Of course she knew Yunli, and she even knew better than anyone else that Yunli and Xianggong were baby relatives. If it wasn't for her better family background, Chen Yingcai might not Abandon Yunli.

But even so, Chen Yingcai refused to let go of Yunli, and actually wanted to take her home as a concubine!Mrs. Zhang resented Chen Yingcai for being ruthless, but even more resented Yunli who attracted Chen Yingcai.

A little brother with mud legs dared to rob her of a man, it's damned!

When she saw the man following Yunli, she thought disdainfully, Yunli is just a slut!She would never let him enter the gate of their house!

"Sir, I'm not feeling well, shall we go home?" Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyes, put her palm on her stomach, and her fingers were white.

Chen Yingcai thought that something happened to the child in her belly, and she couldn't care less about Yunli, so she immediately started to worry about Mrs. Zhang, "What's wrong with Ma'am? Is it because of stomach discomfort? Let's go home now and ask the doctor to take a look." .”

The maidservant next to her also tidied up her things swiftly, and supported her own lady, "Miss, it's packed."

Mrs. Zhang nodded slightly, she stretched out her hand to Chen Yingcai, and called softly, "Mr.

Chen Yingcai also supported her nervously, "Ma'am." Mrs. Zhang leaned on him lightly, and others looked on, like a loving couple.

And Yunli and Li Enbai on the street also passed by Zhangji Restaurant and walked away.

When Yunli heard that Li Enbai decided to repair the house recently, she naturally received 120 approvals, "That's great, I also want to tell Brother Li that the house should be repaired as soon as possible, at least repair the roof of the Westinghouse."

"Here, it doesn't rain much in spring, but it rains a lot in summer. Sometimes it can rain for three or four days in a row. It doesn't rain until the end of August."

Yunli said worriedly, "Although it's raining and the sky is cool, it's hard to dry wet clothes, and the food is easy to get damp and moldy, which is a headache."

"Oh? Then we can widen the eaves when building the house, so that there is a ventilated open space under the eaves, isn't it better?" Li Enbai found that most of the houses here have narrow eaves, and thought it would rain less here.

"Well...we also thought about lengthening the eaves, but in that case the house would have to be built higher, otherwise the eaves would be too low and it would be inconvenient to get in and out. If the eaves were built higher, the cost of materials and labor would be another problem." Yunli sighed, it's all about money.

Li Enbai felt that Yunli was nervous about money. He seemed to be very afraid of lack of money. After thinking for a while, he said, "Lizi, do you want to partner with me?"

"Partnership?" Yunli was puzzled, how could they partner up, "My clothes making is so-so, not half as good as Xiao Jin's, and my embroidery is not very good, and it took me a long time to master the patterns I know now. "

Female red is not good, and Yunli really can't do anything about it. He has worked very hard, but it is not good enough, so he can only say that simple sewing is no problem.Later, when his sister-in-law came and took over the sewing and mending at home, he was freed from the constant pricking of his hands.

Li Enbai has also seen Yunli prick his fingers when embroidering, so naturally he doesn't intend to let him do this, it's not necessary.

"It's not this, but I'm here to make hairpins, you sell them for me, and I'll give you [-] Wen a day, do you think it's okay?"

"Forty Wen is too much. My brother came to the town to do part-time work for ten or fifty Wen. How can I ask for forty Wen for a little brother!" Yunli shook her head repeatedly.

"That is to say, are you willing to help me sell it?" Li Enbai didn't worry about the salary, but asked him if he would like to.

Yunli struggled for a moment, "Let me think about it..."

"What are you thinking?" Qing Ge'er's voice suddenly appeared, Yunli looked up and found that Qing Ge'er was standing in front of him with his hips crossed angrily.

Yunli was a little dazed, and looked around, only to find that they had all reached the gate of the town, "Brother Qing, have you been waiting long?"

"Hmph!" Brother Qing put his hips on his hips, "Is it because I waited so long? I waved to you from a long distance, so you can't see me?"

Yunli blinked, and obediently took Qing Geer's arm, "I was wrong, Qing Geer, are you not angry?"

Brother Qing wasn't really angry either, seeing him subdued, he calmed down, "Then tell me, think about what you said just now, what are you thinking about?"

Li Enbai took the words, "I plan to ask Yunli to sell hairpins for me. The daily wage is forty cash. He hesitates."

"Forty Wen!" Brother Qing looked at Li Enbai in surprise.

"Yes, if you want to help, the salary is the same as that of Lizi." Li Enbai thought to himself, if there is only Yunli alone, it may be too eye-catching, and a few more people will be better. "Friends of Lizi, you can join if you want. .”
