On December 17th, a white haired old woman wearing a black framed presbyopic glasses, smiling at the camera lovable and wearing cotton thread in hand, is a picture circulated on the Internet.

"How old is the old woman, where do she live?" many netizens are curious.

A few days ago, the Morning Post reporter found the nearly eight days in the huaikou town of Jintang.

Character

In the past eight years, ears and eyes were bright.

On the huaikou town of Jintang, the reporter inquired of the "mother-in-law making shoes", and the residents were guiding the way, "live next to the tea shop".

In a small yard, a mother-in-law was sitting in a small courtyard, sewing her vamp neatly.

Soon after a thread was finished, she needled needlessly.

I saw people coming up, smiling up - this is not the old man in the photo, because she made shoes, but she was very famous in the local area.

I can hear clearly.

Only the teeth have changed two times, but my appetite is good. I want to eat a large bowl of sweet potato porridge. "

Tang Popo wore only two sweaters and a vest, and proudly said he was in excellent health.

Every time she went to the market, she would carry dozens of pairs of cloth shoes and go to the sugar street, a few hundred meters away, without feeling tired.

Power

Food and clothing are interest.

There are three sons and two daughters under the knee of Tang's mother-in-law. Although their children are filial piety, she does not live in buildings, so she lives in an old house.

"In 1949, when I married here, I lived in this house.

My wife left 14 years ago. I still live here and get used to it. "

Two Adobe tiles, one living room and one bedroom.

In the living room, except for refrigerators and televisions, the finished products and semi-finished products of all kinds of cloth shoes are stacked: on the wooden table, there are already well laid soles, and the shoes in the back are packed with cloth shoes already made, and there are large bags of cloth on the floor, and there is hardly any spare room in the room.

Tang's mother-in-law is the town's dyeing and weaving factory.

Brand

The old lady and the old street of cloth shoes were famous.

The sugar street in huaikou town is famous not only as a mother in law, but as a "mother-in-law group".

On every double day, more than 10 old ladies will sell their cloth shoes with their own hands to the streets.

Among them, the oldest is nearly eight, and the youngest is more than 50 years old.

The clock owner of the grocery store in town said, "most of the mother-in-law are farmers around, and the cloth shoes they make are not wet feet."

There is no exquisite embroidery. It is made of black cloth or cotton cloth. Because of its comfortable and affordable price, "mother-in-law" brand shoes are popular.

Children's shoes are 7-8 yuan a pair, adult shoes are only 10 yuan and a pair.

In the 50s of last century, there were people selling cloth shoes near sugar street, and then the shoe business disappeared for a period of time. Until the last century, in 80s, the old street was bustling with cloth shoes business, and many foreigners came to buy cloth shoes.

The mother-in-law's skills in making cloth shoes are taught by the older generation at home.

"They used to make shoes for dolls, but later they started selling them in town."

Tang Popo said that she sold cloth shoes this year for 27 years.

Regret

The process is tedious, and no one can learn how to make shoes.

"Now that they are too big, they don't like to wear cloth shoes. Only the youngest grandson wears them."

Now mention shoes, Tang mother-in-law can not hide regret.

The old man told reporters that although the children did not object to making cloth shoes, none of them wanted to learn from her.

"It takes at least twelve to three days to make a pair of shoes, but at least you have to stitch thousands of pins and not sell a few more."

At present, this group of mother-in-law who makes cloth shoes is less than one year. There are more than 30 people at the most time, and now there are only 10 people left.

"I'm not going to finish all the cloth on the roof. Next year, I'm going to play outside."

Tang mother in law estimated that the cloth at home would be able to make more than 100 more pairs of shoes.
