"Madam, if you don't mind, I would like to stay at the private school for a few days. There is also a place to stay there." Datong could not think of any other way to deal with his cousin.
"That's okay, let's go to bed early." After Haitang finished speaking, he fell asleep first after a while.
When he woke up the next day, Datong had already gotten up early and left Qiaotou Village.
Haitang kept some of the footcloths from Zhengyang Cloth Village and asked Tian Niu to send one to every household in the village. The rest was given to other nearby villages, treating it as an invitation to meet the weavers. She also specially reminded
, this cloth can only be used as a foot wipe.
Wintersweet also came here early.
"Sister Haitang, when are we going to the city?" Lamei is in high spirits today. Every time she goes into the city, there are different gains for Lamei and she can always see new things.
Tian Niu also went out to work early in the morning, and Ya Mei, Wintersweet and Begonia loaded the footcloths and home-dyed cloths into the trolley.
"Let's go early, there are so many footcloths to give away." The mute girl watched as Begonia and Wintersweet pushed the cart and disappeared into the mist of the morning light.
In their absence, the responsibility of taking care of the dyeing workshop fell on the mute girl. While she was painting on the handkerchief, she received the occasional customers who came to buy cloth, and she also had to look at the fields with random people.
The second aunt and cousin Lulu didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. Lulu stretched in the yard, yawned, and looked like she hadn't slept enough. She also glanced at the rooster in the chicken coop, which started crowing in the middle of the night.
Now, one day, I will pluck all your hair, roast it, eat it, and make you scream nonsense.
The second aunt personally helped Lulu comb her hair. A beautiful day started with careful dressing up.
After her hair was tied up, cousin Lulu couldn't wait to knock on her cousin's door.
"Cousin Datong, cousin Datong..." Cousin Lulu shouted hurriedly. But the yard was empty and no one answered her.
I opened the door and saw that cousin Datong was not there, nor was Haitang, not even Tian Niu!
Ertong and Brother Lamei also went to work in the fields early and were not at home. Cousin Lulu felt disappointed.
"Mute sister, dumb sister, where is my cousin Datong going?" Cousin Lulu saw the mute sister in the dyeing workshop courtyard, so she ran over and asked.
The mute girl made gestures for a long time, cousin Lulu listened for a long time, watched for a long time, and finally realized that she had asked the wrong person, but she didn't understand what it meant...
"Mute girl, your paintings are so beautiful. You are just like me, clever and handy. Do you think cousin Datong will like a girl like me?" Lulu saw that the mute girl can't speak, so at least she can listen.
When I had nothing to do, I started chatting with her.
As soon as she heard the words "ingenuity", the mute girl's hands trembled, and the dye smudged. It seemed that she had to re-imagine the idea of this picture...
The mute girl said nothing, occasionally looking up at Lulu.
Lulu's mouth never stopped, and she spent most of her time eating and talking.
"Actually, I know that Brother Datong has me in his heart, but he's too embarrassed to say it out loud. Let me tell you, don't tell others. We almost consummated our marriage last night..." Lulu said shyly.
After hearing this, the mute girl shivered again, and the pen in her hand fell down without knowing where it went. If this continues, the painting will be useless.
"Silly girl, you have to eat more in the future. Only when you eat fat can you find your husband's family. Looking at you now, you look like a skinny man. No man would like it. I am different. I can use it as a pillow for men when I sleep.
, How practical." Cousin Lulu said to herself, looking at her appearance in the basin with satisfaction.
