During the chat between the two, Datong realized that these were all the money his wife Haitang earned from running a dyeing shop. No wonder she wanted cloth strips of various colors in the capital.
Other people's wives grind tofu, but my wife runs a dyeing workshop...
When I think about the hairpin I gave to my wife, it seems shuddering compared to the huge business that my wife has built.
If I win the top prize, I will let my wife live a happy life and become the happiest woman in the world. Datong thought silently in his heart.
He was even more looking forward to the results of this announcement. If he could not return home in fine clothes, he would really feel sorry for his mother who worked hard to cultivate him, and even more sorry for the mother who worked hard to dye the cloth.
The mute girl was still dyeing cloth in the dyeing workshop. Because she couldn't speak, the old lady didn't let her help in the kitchen for fear that she would cause trouble. On the other hand, she didn't grow up in this village, so she wouldn't go wrong with the village's dishes.
How could she know what Datong likes to eat?
Datong left the living compound and walked in the direction of the dyeing workshop. He happened to see the mute girl drying cloth in the yard.
The mute girl heard that Datong was back. Unexpectedly, she looked up and saw him. Their eyes met. The mute girl was embarrassed for a moment when she saw a stranger and hurried back to her room.
Looking at the cloth of various colors drying in the yard, Datong suddenly felt like crying. How much effort and cost did the lady have to put in to dye such cloth...
But at this time, he was not with his wife, and she did not mention a word about hard work in her family book. I am afraid I will never find such a lady holding a lantern again.
Thinking of this, I quickly came to Aunt Li's house. I just heard in the kitchen that Haitang was going to Aunt Li's house to breastfeed.
I wanted to knock on the door and go in, but then I thought that she was breastfeeding, and it would be disrespectful to go in like this. It would be too presumptuous, so I put down my hand, quietly exited, and waited at the door of the dye house.
I saw more than a dozen kinds of cloth strips tied under the dyehouse brand, with bells attached, but there was no writing on the dyehouse brand.
My family is completely different from what I imagined, and Datong is still getting used to it.
At this time, a sedan slowly drove towards the dye house and stopped not far from the yard. A middle-aged woman with elegant lines stepped out of the sedan and walked straight towards the courtyard of the dye house.
Judging by the way she is dressed, she doesn't look like someone from Qiaotou Village. The girl who married here wouldn't be dressed like this, which would make it inconvenient to work, let alone her age. Although her charm is still there, she is no longer young after all.
When the woman saw a dignified-looking, elegant man in a green shirt standing in the courtyard of Dying House, she was also full of curiosity. Moreover, he was standing here alone. Why was Haitang not here to welcome guests today? Let such a man fall from the sky.
The handsome young man is alone.
"Scholar, are you enjoying the scenery, or are you thinking about the people you see?" The woman came over leisurely to talk to her, with no trace of shyness on her face, which was very ordinary.
When someone asked a question, Datong couldn't help but answer. Although he felt strange, he couldn't directly ask who the other person was.
"A little bit." Datong said calmly, with no intention of continuing the conversation.
But the woman came over and looked up and down at the scholar she had met for the first time. She could describe him as having red lips and white teeth. Such a person is very interesting. This kind of interestingness cannot be learned from a man like the county magistrate.
The woman decided to test it out and treat it as a joke for her own enjoyment.
