The next day, Mom and the others continued to brush the threads. First break through the spool, the thread through the gap of the bamboo strips, neatly fixed on the spool, the thread tightened, with a bamboo brush slowly smooth the brush, move the strand forward, and then gradually roll the brushed thread on the reel, each roll layer on a few straws, and at the same time let go of the thread ball little by little.

Everything is slow, Erni Osmanthus is anxious, and there are many mistakes in the work. The second grandmother followed and argued: "Slow down, slow down, you messed up and delayed (mis)." Those who are all married, they must be stable in the future, and they can't be in a hurry in the in-law's house, making people laugh. ”

"It's not because you and my father are not in good health, I am busy doing everything alone, you are only teaching me if it is too late. The osmanthus was sharp, but the hand slowed down, and the four of them were busy all morning.

In the afternoon, I started to do zouzeng. Fix the sturdy heald (four strands) on a smooth hardwood stick first, go around a smooth wooden board about three inches wide, start from one side at the back of the stick and thread a warp, then wrap a knot around the board on the hardwood stick, continue to wrap it around the board, wear one after another, wrap it all the way, pull out the plank, and a piece of the board is ready.

The other piece is the warp left by the previous one, which requires not only careful but also good eyes. Yoyo's mother sat there and worked for more than two hours in one go. Didi got tired of watching it for a while, and pulled it up to play on the street (street).

Seeing his brother playing a game of war with his friends on the street, Didi pounced, snatched the wooden stick in his brother's hand as a gunman, raised his hands to his chest and turned left and right, squinted one eye, and shouted "da-da-da" in his mouth. He also stamped his feet and shouted: "I am a machine gun, you are all dead, why are you still standing." ”

When Didi had had fun and the siblings went back, the comprehensive was ready. The top is hung on the machine floor, and the bottom is fixed on the foot (pedal), and the two healds divide the warp into two layers.

The second grandmother divided the warp head into about ten threads in front of the stick, connected them with the threads on the cloth head left over from the original weaving, and then fixed the cloth head on the winding shaft. Several people fixed the loom rack in the west room of the second grandmother's house, and they were finally ready to weave.

The dazzled people who look at it leisurely, admire the wisdom of the working people, and admire the five-body throw. Seeing that the Yoyo family was very busy, the second grandmother's family knitted first.

At the beginning, the warp weaving was not neat, and the woven cloth was not smooth, and the second grandmother asked her to weave a hook to "long flowing water" and wear it for Baojing, saying that the boy was rough and didn't know how to be good.

Osmanthus sits on the "sitting board" at the back end of the loom, takes out the thread end inside from the middle of the black thread tassel, and then ties it to a smooth bamboo strip with a cotton rope that is the same length as the weaving shuttle, and passes the thread through the round hole in the middle of the weaving shuttle, and the thread tassel is installed in the weaving shuttle.

Alternately pedal the "tiptoe" with two feet, and alternately pass the shuttle, connect the shuttle, and move the machine with both hands. Use both hands and feet, flexible coordination, shuttle flying line dance. After a while, he weaved a cloth more than a foot long, rolled it on a scroll of cloth, and fixed it with an iron "biting machine". The black and green striped cloth about a centimeter wide is really suitable for boys around 10 years old.

"Osmanthus hands are so fast. Mom complimented. According to the generation, the mother should call the osmanthus and their aunts, but the mother is much older than the osmanthus sisters, and the second master asked them to call the name directly, saying that it is too troublesome to come and go.

The second grandmother also agreed: "I have been quick with my hands and feet since I was a child. ”

"You're not in a hurry. "Osmanthus is a straightforward and fast-talking character.

"Hey, when will you be able to change your temperament since childhood? ”

Osmanthus smiled and angry with her mother: "Let's finish weaving this machine cloth for you first and then change it." ”

Osmanthus's hands are really not blown, and they can weave a hook cloth in a day. After the long flowing water is woven, the red and black weft threads are changed and woven into a square pattern of one centimeter size, and the red, green, and black squares are interspersed together, which is particularly beautiful. He also weaved three small squares with red and white, green and black, green and white, and finally weaved a hook of green and white "long flowing water" with white.

Stacks of new coarse cloth are colorful, with different colors, lattice and strip patterns, gorgeous and simple, lively and steady, so that Yoyo is looking forward to the new clothes made of his own floral cloth.

After the second grandmother's six-hook cloth was woven, it was just a week for my mother. I first weaved a hook of red, green and white plaid cloth for Yoyo.

The rest of the five hook cloth mother and grandmother have no time to weave, the loom is borrowed, can not wait for the mother to Sunday to have free weaving, the light is too dim at night, can not weave.

Osmanthus offered her to help, asked for the pattern to be knitted, and then knitted.

The rest of the cloth is woven with a hook of green and white checkered, two hooks of green and black "long flowing water", two hooks of green and white "long flowing water".

Grandma gave a pair of nylon socks to each of the three sisters of Osmanthus, and the family said that they would not accept anything. In the end, I saw that I couldn't shirk it, and the second grandmother asked her son-in-law for a pair of men's nylon socks.

"I all know that the nylon socks sold in our village are thick, and I can't say that I can't give her son-in-law a pair. ”
