The third brother was about to take it, but Yan Zi didn't let him. She patted the other's hand and said, "I'll do it."

Put it directly into the kitchen and say, "Go wash it."

The third child pursed his lips, walked into the kitchen, closed the door, and cried while taking a shower, but he managed to hold back his tears.

It’s okay to laugh at other people’s jokes, but I can’t help laughing when I see myself.

I can't stand being despised. I'm not allowed to move around, touch this or that, or work.

He clearly washed his hands, but he was not allowed to take clothes and he even scared his wife. What kind of life is he living?

It’s all Widow Li’s fault. I’ll try not to see her in the future. If I do see her, I’ll stay away from her. She’ll really get me into trouble.

Finally I finished washing and came out after getting dressed. There was a big bucket of black water, all of which was washed from my body.

I carried the wooden barrel out of the door and poured out the dirty water. There was a thick layer of mud inside. I scrubbed the barrel three times before it was clean.

Fortunately, they didn't come out to see it, otherwise this kind of thing would be brought up every time we have a meal. After all, I am half the head of the family, so I still have to maintain some face.

I always felt something was wrong when I was walking. I looked down and found that the toes of my shoes were exposed and could not be worn anymore. It must have been caused by struggling in the mud just now.

If I ask my wife to make a new pair of shoes, it would definitely be very hard work, so naturally I don't want to trouble her.

I'll go to town tomorrow to take a look at how much a pair of shoes costs. I have saved up quite a bit, so it should be enough.

While carrying the bucket, I was thinking about this, and saw Yan Zi walked out the door and threw something on the ground, "Put it on."

The third brother took a closer look and found that they were new shoes and he didn't know when they were made.

Recently, I saw her sewing and mending things, taking on some work for the villagers. I was really touched to see that she was so busy but still made shoes for herself.

The grievance just now disappeared, but he threw the shoes directly on the ground, which made him feel a little distressed, "Wife, why did you throw your new shoes on the ground."

Yan Zi was a little confused. The soles of the shoes were facing the ground and not dirty, so why couldn't she just throw them away? Was there anything else to pay attention to when wearing new shoes?

It was the same before. I didn't see him say anything. He just put the shoes on and walked away. Could it be that he got a reward from the county magistrate today and thought he was so great that he started to look down on others? If so, he must be taught a lesson.

"Why can't you just throw it on the ground? Do you want me to put your shoes on for you?"

Yan Zi held her waist with one hand and pointed at the shoes on the ground with the other hand. There was a hint of anger on her face, which made the third brother's heart beat fast.

Knowing that his wife had misunderstood, he quickly picked up the shoes on the ground, brushed off the dirt on the soles, and held them in his arms.

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person. Others may not know, but don't you, my wife, know?"

"I am so happy to have new shoes, but I am also reluctant to wear them. I want to wear them tomorrow, so I slept with them today."

"Yanzi, you have worked so hard and still thought about making shoes for me. I was thinking of going to town tomorrow to buy a pair."

When Yan Zi heard this, her attitude softened. The third brother tucked the clean shoes under his armpit, grabbed Yan Zi's hands, lifted them up, and looked at them carefully.

These hands are a little rougher than when she first married me. I can feel traces of years of hard work, and some places have calluses, which makes me feel a little distressed.

He felt very guilty for not being able to give her a life of ease and comfort, but even so, Yan Zi still stayed with him and gave birth to children for him.

The third brother secretly swore in his heart that he would treat her better to be worthy of her kindness.

Yan Zi looked at the third brother staring at her hand lovingly and holding it for such a long time without letting go. It was not like they had just gotten married. They were an old couple already, so why was he still like this? It made her feel embarrassed.

I wanted to pull my hand back, but the other person held it so tightly.

"Okay, let go, it's time to make dinner."

"Shoes are meant to be worn, not held in your arms when you sleep at night."

The third brother nodded and agreed, "I will listen to my wife. You guys worked hard to boil water just now. I will make dinner."

Ni'er and Niu Li had been hiding behind the door, watching silently in the corner, not wanting to disturb the two of them. But it didn't matter now. The two of them walked out of the door one after the other, smiling happily.

Niu Li reached out and pulled out the shoes that his father was holding under his armpit and handed them to Ni'er, one for each of them.

Nier turned it over and over to look at it carefully, and then pinched it with her hands.

These shoes look sturdy at first glance. The upper is made of starched cloth with so many layers glued together. The stitching is fine, and they are comfortable and durable. I feel that the shoes on my master's feet are not as good as these.

Mother always thinks about her father. She makes clothes and shoes for him first.

He and Niu Li exchanged a glance, and they both had the same idea, "Mom, does Daddy have these new shoes?"

Niu Li really likes this kind of shoes, especially those made by his mother. They are so light to wear. It just so happens that the shoes on his feet are a little small. "Mom, I want these too."

The third brother felt that making one pair of shoes was hard enough, and he didn’t want to tire his wife out by making two more pairs, which would be a strain on his hands and eyes. He quickly took back the shoes from the two women and didn’t want to dirty them again.

He squatted down and hugged the two kids, "Daddy will buy shoes for you tomorrow, how about it? Buy whichever pair you like."

"Mom, look at Dad, he really cares about you and would rather spend money than tire you out."

"That's right, Mom. Dad is so supportive of you. My sister and I were not picked up, were we?"

Ni'er and Niuli sang the same tune, making Yanzi blush, "Don't talk nonsense, how could it be picked up."

"These shoes will definitely not just belong to your father. I have prepared some for you as well."

He turned around and went back into the house, and took out two pairs of shoes, one pair was made of blue cloth and the other pair was made of green cloth. They were made of leftover material from making clothes, and they matched what he was wearing perfectly.

The two children danced with joy. It was not a festival at all, but to have new shoes to wear was something worth being happy about.

The third son was even more sad. The girls from rich families only needed to buy things with money. There was no need to do all these things by themselves. It was time-consuming and laborious. It was all his fault that he was incompetent. In the future, he would let his wife live that kind of life.

Ni'er and Niu Li immediately put on new shoes and started running in them.

"Mom, these shoes fit me perfectly. I like them so much."

"Yes, mother, I don't think I can walk ten miles without getting tired."

Yan Zi looked at the two playing children. She hadn't been so happy for a long time. The corners of her mouth curled up and a smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face.

Normally they are like two little adults, doing things in a methodical manner, not at all calm and composed as they should be at their age, especially Niu Li, who is like an old pedant.

Today the two of them finally acted like little kids. Usually Ni'er worries about this and that, takes care of everything at home, and never asks for anything, but today she took the initiative to ask for a pair of shoes. This is how it should be.
