Take your childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality
Chapter 12 Trivia in Life
Liu Wenwen was the first to push open the door and walk in. They saw a small room with a bed inside, barely big enough for two people to sleep in. There was nothing else besides the bed. Although it was called a woodshed, it didn't look like one at all. They smiled and went in to put their things down. After making the bed, they walked out to the yard to take in the surroundings, having just passed by and not taken a closer look.
The yard is a quadrangle with a well in the middle. There is a flower garden around the wall with vegetables and flowers, as well as a tree that looks like an osmanthus tree. Next to the woodshed is the back door of the yard, which makes it convenient to get in and out. On the other side is the real woodshed connected to the kitchen. The kitchen is not big, but it has everything. There is also a door next to the kitchen, but I don't know where it leads to.
The main house is opposite the woodshed, with a wing room on each side. The main house looks very grand.
Mrs. Yan was busy in the kitchen, apparently cooking dinner.
Liu Wenwen hurried over to help. Shen Runze looked at the water tank and wanted to drink some water, but when he saw that there was no water left, he took a bucket to fetch some water.
Because I was not strong enough, I only filled half a bucket and had to run several times to fill it up.
Madam Yan asked Liu Wenwen to watch the fire while she cooked the food. When Shen Runze finished fetching water, it was almost time to eat. Madam Yan put the dishes on the table and asked the two of them to sit down and eat first. She then called her son who was studying in the study to come out for dinner.
Mrs. Yan's husband runs a small cloth shop and is often away from home for business. He rarely spends time at home. Usually, only Mrs. Yan and her son are at home. Mrs. Yan sometimes has no time to cook because she has to look after the cloth shop. Her son understands that it is not easy for his parents and never complains about lunch being late. Although her son understands, Mrs. Yan couldn't bear it and thought about hiring someone. She was an orphan and a widow at home, and she was afraid that the children would be persecuted when the husband was away. If she didn't hire someone, she would be too busy. Today, she saw the two children. Although they were young, they looked very capable. Maybe children from poor families have to take on responsibilities early. Thinking of her son, she couldn't help but feel sorry for them, so she hired them. They can clean and help her look after the store. The price is also right, and the two children will not be in any danger.
Following behind Madam Yan was an eight-year-old child with an air of maturity. He came in without saying a word, picked up his bowl and started eating without greeting anyone.
Liu Wenwen felt a little embarrassed and glanced at Shen Runze, who gestured for her to eat.
Madam Yan looked at the three silent children, smiled and said, "Abei, these are newcomers to our house to help. Although they are here to help, they are young, so don't bully them. The boy is called Arun and the girl is called Wenwen. You must get along well with each other. Arun, Wenwen, this is my son, Beige'er, whose full name is Yan Qibei. He is 8 years old this year, two years older than you. If you have any problems, you can come to him or me. I don't have any other requirements, I just hope you can get along well with each other. Abei doesn't have many playmates, so this is the case. He used to be very cute, but for some reason he has become less and less talkative as he grows older." Madam Yan sighed.
"Okay, auntie," Liu Wenwen said obediently.
"Hello, Brother Abei, I'm Wenwen. You can just call me Wenwen from now on. His name is Arun and he doesn't like to talk much." Liu Wenwen smiled.
Madam Yan also smiled. Of the four people, only Liu Wenwen and Madam Yan were chatting. Shen Runze occasionally chatted with her. Yan Qibei didn't say much and went back to his room after eating. Liu Wenwen also went back to sleep after eating, and would get up early to work tomorrow.
Finally slept in the room again...
When Liu Wenwen got up, there was no one around her. She combed her hair into a ponytail with her hands and tied it tightly with a cloth ribbon.
After opening the door, Liu Wenwen saw that it was already dawn. She hurried to the kitchen embarrassedly and saw Madam Yan busy in the kitchen. When she got closer, she saw brown rice porridge and a plate of pickles. Even the cloth shop owner couldn't eat white rice often. Liu Wenwen then realized that white rice was precious and ordinary people couldn't afford it at all.
"Is it awake? Smell it." Madam Yan said without raising her head.
"Auntie blames me for oversleeping. Ah Run, you didn't even call me." Liu Wenwen glared at Shen Runze angrily.
After a simple breakfast in the morning, the two began to clean up, inside and out. Because they were small, they didn't finish cleaning until almost noon. Then Shen Runze helped to cook, and Liu Wenwen helped Madam Yan to look after the store. They just moved in last night and cleaned the store in the morning. Now they could take a good look at these colorful fabrics, they were so beautiful.
There were no customers coming to the store while Liu Wenwen was visiting. Liu Wenwen had nothing to do, so she looked at the fabrics, which was also very interesting.
"Come and eat," Madam Yan walked in with a lunch box and said with a smile, "You must be hungry. Were there any guests just now?"
"No customers," Liu Wenwen shook his head.
"I said yesterday I would give you a piece of cloth. What color do you want? Have you chosen it just now?" Madam Yan said as she took out the food.
"Can I choose by myself? What colors are available?" I asked curiously.
"Our cloth shop is quite small and we don't have many colors of fabrics. You can go and pick some yourself," said Madam Yan, motioning her to go and take a look herself.
Liu Wenwen was so happy that she didn't even eat her meal. She ran over and started picking things out. There were hemp gray, brown, indigo, and dark green. Uh, the colors were all so ugly. What kind of pretty colors would you want in ancient times? In the future, when I make money, I'll dye the fabrics myself and DIY my own clothes.
Let’s choose a piece of green. Arun is going up the mountain, and the green will be a good place to hide.
"Auntie, I've chosen this dress. How do I make it?" Liu Wenwen asked awkwardly. Should I trouble Auntie? Is there a small shop that makes clothes?
"I'll teach you how to make it. I have a board. You can measure the approximate size and then reduce it accordingly. Girls should always learn needlework so that when you get married, you can sew clothes for your husband," Madam Yan said gently with a smile.
Uh... this is too early. I'm just a little kid and I don't even know when it will happen.
"Thank you, auntie." It's better not to say what you think, so that your auntie won't hear it and think that Liu Wenwen is too shocking, Liu Wenwen said embarrassedly.
Originally, she was going to go out with Shen Runze in the afternoon, but because she had to sew clothes for the two of them, Liu Wenwen had no choice but to stay and help Madam Yan sew clothes. Before Shen Runze left, she even measured his size.
The piece of cloth given by Madam Yan was nearly five meters long. Since the two of them were children, they could save fabric and make two sets of clothes for them.
Liu Wenwen wanted to hurry up and make a set of clothes for the evening. As the sun was setting, she finished a set of clothes for Shen Runze. The stitching wasn't fine, but it was wearable. The color was dark green, and the style was basic. It wasn't very attractive, but there was nothing she could do about it; her abilities were limited. She would make another set for herself tomorrow.
The next day, Liu Wenwen got up early to make clothes for herself. When making clothes for herself, it is inevitable to have some ideas. She sewed a belt into the embroidery to save the trouble of washing and preventing the clothes from getting old.
Seeing that Aunt Yan's embroidery was very beautiful, Liu Wenwen asked her to teach her how to embroider. It was not very difficult. She just had to draw the desired pattern on it and fill it with flat stitches. The technique she learned was the most basic and the easiest to learn.
The dress was dark green, with a cross-lapel design inside and a circle of white honeysuckle embroidered around the collar. Liu Wenwen had seen Shen Runze pick a lot of honeysuckle yesterday and liked it because she thought it was beautiful and low-key, and it also had medicinal value. She wore a small jacket-like waistcoat outside, and a large, open-lapel skirt underneath.
The skirt is finished. The most labor-intensive part is the embroidery of gold and honeysuckle. The stitching of the dress is also a bit rough, but it still looks good.
In the evening, Shen Runze came back and was stunned to see Liu Wenwen wearing a dark green dress, which made the girl's skin look white. Her eyes were particularly deep, hiding a faint smile.
"How much did you earn today?" Liu Wenwen ran over and asked.
"20 cents, 10 cents less than yesterday. Yesterday I was lucky enough to find a young seedling of Fritillaria cirrhosa. Today my luck was average and I only picked some common herbs, so they are not worth much," Shen Runze said as he walked, looking at Liu Wenwen.
"You look good in this outfit. When I make money in the future, I'll buy you a few more sets. But making clothes is too tiring, and I can't help." Shen Runze turned his head with a blush and looked at the well.
"Haha, I knew I would look good in this outfit. You have good taste and a sweet mouth," Liu Wenwen laughed proudly.
"Come into the room and I'll give you something." Liu Wenwen pulled Shen Runze into the room.
Shen Runze followed in puzzled?
"Okay, I'll give you a purse. Put all your coins here to avoid losing them." Liu Wenwen pointed with her mouth.
"Purse? How can a girl give a boy a purse? Do you know what this means?" Shen Runze scolded with a red face.
"Why are you so fierce? I'm not sending someone else, nor someone from this era. Have you traveled through time and space and your mind has become feudal?" Liu Wenwen said, raising her hand to knock Shen Runze.
"Okay, okay, you are not allowed to see off other boys." Shen Runze looked serious.
"You're very funny. I'm too lazy to talk to you, Bean Sprout," Liu Wenwen said as he walked out.
