Zhang Xiu nodded stupidly, smiled and sat next to Zhang Cuifen, "Sister Cuifen, it turns out your home is here! It's not far from my home!"
"Yeah, I didn't even know it. It turns out that the tofu seller at the entrance of the village is your man!" Zhang Cuifen was happy to have met a new friend.
"Yes, yes! Haha..." Zhang Xiu smiled silly.
This Zhang Xiu was married to Guangming Village from another village. She has mild cerebral palsy, a disease that was brought from her mother's womb. She is silly and childlike. There are always children in the village who bully her and call her a fool.
But Ling Xiaowei never thought she was stupid, she was just a little naive. Even though she was over thirty years old, her mind was still like that of a child. She was very hardworking and loved to be clean. She always kept the house in order. Her home-made tofu
It's also very delicious.
In her previous life, Ling Xiaowei was able to talk to Zhang Xiu because at that time, she was so withdrawn that no children liked to play with her.
Occasionally, Zhang Xiu was knitting gloves at the bridge. Ling Xiaowei looked at her curiously. Zhang Xiu took the initiative to talk to her, and even gave her a pair of gloves, praising her as a good child.
These are things that will happen later and have not happened yet!
So now, Ling Xiaowei and Zhang Xiu are not very familiar with each other, they just met in the same village.
When Zhang Xiu saw Ling Xiaowei looking at her, her eyes lit up and she showed a simple and honest smile. Then she said to Zhang Cuifen, "Your daughter is so beautiful!" Zhang Xiu likes children. She can't have children herself, but when she sees other families
All the kids love it.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Cuifen's face, she laughed twice and explained: "This is my stepdaughter! Her name is Xiaowei."
Zhang Xiu nodded stupidly. She didn't quite understand what stepdaughter meant, so she said stupidly: "Hello stepdaughter, hello stepdaughter! Hello Xiaowei!"
She suddenly saw the hairpin on the stool at the door, her eyes lit up, and she was as excited as a child seeing candy. She exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, this is so beautiful!"
"This is a hairpin made by Xiaowei and sold for sale!" Zhang Cuifen explained.
Zhang Xiu stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it but not daring to touch it. Seeing this, Ling Xiaowei picked up one, handed it to her hand, and said, "Send it to you!"
"Yeah! It's true!" Zhang Xiu was as happy as a child, holding a hairpin.
Ling Xiaowei nodded. It was great to see her standing in front of her alive! Her tragedy had not begun yet. She must help her and change her tragic fate.
By the way! In the summer of this year, she will have a child. This child was abandoned by others. Later, Zhang Xiu took it back and raised it, but in the summer of the same year, she drowned.
That child's final fate was also drowned. When she was two years old, she fell into a ditch and drowned when she and her father were working in the fields.
What's even more tragic is that Zhang Xiu's husband also passed away within two years! He died of illness.
What has life done to this family? It has been so cruel that this family is dead!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiaowei felt a pain in her heart!
She couldn't just watch this tragedy happen.
"Aunt Xiu, do you want to make a hairpin?" Ling Xiaowei said.
Zhang Xiu nodded and said happily: "Teach me how to do this!"
"Okay, I'll teach you, but you have to do this for me. I'll give you the money, fifty cents each, okay?" Ling Xiaowei said slowly, she was afraid that Zhang Xiu wouldn't understand.
"Fifty cents! You mean, if I make one, you give me fifty cents?" Zhang Xiu couldn't believe it.
Although she is not very smart, she still knows common sense about life, especially money.
It’s more valuable than a piece of tofu sold at her house.
"Really! Fifty cents each! Do you want to do it or not?" Ling Xiaowei asked.
"Do it! I'll do it for fifty cents each!" Zhang Xiu said happily.
Zhang Cuifen remained silent. She was a little worried that Zhang Xiu couldn't do this. Although the hairpin was small, it was a delicate job. If it wasn't done well, it would fall apart. If it fell apart, it would be a waste product.
But Ling Xiaowei asked Zhang Xiu to do it, so she couldn't say anything. She just watched from the sidelines.
Ling Xiaowei began to demonstrate to Zhang Xiu how to string beads, tie flower petals, tie hairpins, and fix them. After a set of procedures, Ling Xiaowei asked Zhang Xiu: "Aunt Xiu, do you understand?"
Zhang Xiu nodded, with a straight face and a very serious look.
Ling Xiaowei felt a little unsure. She wanted to find someone to subcontract, but if Zhang Xiu failed, it would be better not to subcontract, but she wanted to give Zhang Xiu a chance.
"I'll make one for you now!" After Zhang Xiu said that, he started to make it with skillful movements. Every step was exactly the same as Ling Xiaowei's.
Ling Xiaowei thought Qi Yue was great, but she didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was exactly the same as Qi Yue. Qi Yue had her own tricks when imitating Ling Xiaowei's steps, but Zhang Xiu imitated them completely.
After a while, a hairpin was ready, exactly like the one made by Ling Xiaowei, strong and beautiful.
"Oh! Xiu, you did so well, I was afraid you couldn't do it!" Zhang Cuifen said in surprise.
Grandma also came here after hearing the news. She knew Zhang Xiu. When she saw the hairpins Zhang Xiu had made, she couldn't help being surprised and said: "Hey, don't tell me, Xiu is really good at making this hairpin."
"Haha...I'm very handy. I can also hook hats, gloves, and clothes. There's nothing I can't do." Zhang Xiu said happily.
Since Aunt Zhang Xiu can do it, it will be easy. Ling Xiaowei took ten hairpins, wrapped a large bag of beads in a paper bag, gave it to Zhang Xiu, and said: "Aunt Xiu, you make these ten first.
When it's done, bring it over and I'll pay you, or you can give it to her!" Ling Xiaowei pointed at Zhang Cuifen.
Zhang Xiu nodded and agreed wholeheartedly.
It was getting late, so Zhang Xiu took the things and went back. Before leaving, he told Zhang Cuifen and Ling Xiaowei to go to her house to make soy milk for them tomorrow morning.
Her family is a tofu maker, and they start cooking and grinding beans every day before dawn. Many people in the village go to her house to make soy milk, which costs a dime for a large pot.
In her previous life, Ling Xiaowei drank it and it was particularly fragrant.
That's soy milk sold outside, and it doesn't have the same sweetness.
After Zhang Xiu left, Ling Xiaowei sighed, "What a fate! I don't know if she has the ability to change the fate of others."
Thinking that your own destiny can be reversed, maybe someone else’s can be reversed too!
She must change the fate of Zhang Xiu and her family.
This matter needs to wait. The most important thing for her now is to finish the things on hand as soon as possible.
"Xiaowei, how many hairpins are you planning to make this time?" Zhang Cuifen asked.
Xiaowei squeezed time to make hairpins, which meant that she had received another job. Zhang Cuifen was quite curious.
"There are two hundred to be made, and I have subcontracted one hundred of them. Aunt Zhang, can you help me ask who in our village is willing to do the outsourcing work, which is making hairpins. There will be other ones in the future.
We will pay the crafting fee for the items." This is an idea that Ling Xiaowei has been pondering for a long time.
