"Has Uncle Erniu been here?" Song Yuehua asked.
"He hasn't come yet," Tian said. "He should be here by this time. His meal is still hot on the stove."
I guess he was delayed by something.
"Miss Song, this is a small gift from me. If you don't mind, just accept it." Mrs. Mu came out of the house and handed over a pair of shoes.
Song Yuehua: "..." If I say no, wouldn't it be considered as disdain for her?
It was just a pair of shoes, so it was okay to accept it. Song Yuehua carefully looked over it and found that it was finely made, and the soles were very thick and soft. "It took a lot of effort to do this, didn't it?"
"I don't have much time. I did it when I had nothing to do." said Mrs. Mu.
After Tian came out, she said, "Young lady, you must try these shoes carefully. Aunt Mu's craftsmanship is amazing, much better than the ones made by the women in our village."
Mother Mu said bluntly, "At least I ate this meal when I was young. If anyone could compare to me, I would have starved to death long ago."
"These shoes are nice. If you are willing to sell them, I know someone who can buy them." Song Yuehua said seriously.
Mother Mu said awkwardly, "We don't have much fabric at home..."
"That's not a problem," Tian said quickly. "Ten cents can buy a lot of cloth from the cloth shop. I'll buy some later and I'll lend it to you."
Mother Mu sighed and said, "Thank you very much. My skills are not as good as when I was young. I don't know if I can sell them for money."
"If I come across these shoes at the market, I will at least buy a few pairs for my family." Tian said as she wiped the stove.
Granny Mu smiled helplessly and said, "You are the only one who can speak."
“That’s what it is.”
Seeing that everything was arranged well at the Li family's place, Song Yuehua didn't stay long. She bought some things in the county town and then took a ox cart back.
After returning home, I put on the shoes that Granny Mu had given me. I thought that the size must have been recommended by Tian, otherwise how could they fit so well? They were very comfortable to walk in, and she was really good at it.
