Since Xie Chengshu and his wife came here, all the big and small things have been covered, and Xingxiang has become a veritable idler. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhu Linglong didn't want the child to be idle and become a lazy woman, so she persuaded Xingxiang to go out to learn a craft every day. Xingxiang was annoyed by the chatter, and she didn't know what she should learn after thinking about it. Seeing that Da Liu Zhuang had a cousin learning tailoring, he also decided to learn to be a tailor. The original plan was to fool around for a few months and say that she would learn to become a teacher, and at that time, if she stayed at home, it was estimated that her grandmother would not talk to her every day.

She said that to learn tailoring, Liu Yujin and Wang Hongying are naturally active in the county, looking for a master with the best skills. Unexpectedly, Xingxiang saw that the inconspicuous pieces of fabric, after the master's hands, became very eye-catching and beautiful new clothes, and gradually fell in love with making clothes.

After all, Xingxiang is a young person, and young people have a sense of innovation. She always thinks of some new clothing styles in her head, but she doesn't have the skills of her master, and she can make whatever she wants. I don't have the skills to draw, so I draw the pattern in advance and then make it slowly. Therefore, many times it is a helpless death, and after a few times, the enthusiasm is dispelled, and some do not want to learn.

Caoxiang knew that Sister Xingxiang was an impatient child, and everything she did was hot for three minutes. It's just that he is loose by nature, unrestrained, and if he doesn't have a good guide, he will achieve nothing in his life. In the world of memory, the third sister seems to have studied tailoring, and she stopped learning within a few months. Later, the garment factory that Liu's father helped them set up was supported by the third brother-in-law who was a half-learned tailor. Although the third brother-in-law is very good and respectful to the third sister, in outsiders, the third sister, the real boss, does not speak as strongly as the third brother-in-law.

In this world, she thought that she should help the third sister to stand up from this time, and her temperament may not be able to change, but it is okay to learn some skills in her body. She thought about it for several days, but she introduced the art teacher at her school as a professional instructor. In order to stabilize Sister Xingxiang, who can't sit on the bench, she, Momoka, and Chunxiang also accompany their sister to follow behind to learn painting. The teaching fee of the four sisters is calculated according to the number of class hours, two classes a week, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons (45 minutes), each person pays 10 yuan per class hour. And on the day of class, the teacher's dinner before leaving, four dishes, one soup, and two wines. At this point, it's quite a high specification.

There is no way to do it, this teacher can teach art in No. 1 Middle School, so he naturally has some skills. But this teacher always has a sense of cynicism that he has never encountered, which makes Caoxiang, a person who has experienced extremely fierce competition in the following decades, how many people have ups and downs, and who have been in the sky and the earth, feel very uncomfortable. If you are engaged in art, you can become everyone, and the first thing is to forget yourself. But this teacher never forgot himself, and always put himself at the level of an artist. Therefore, if Cao Xiang counted the money for him according to the ordinary art teacher, the teacher would definitely hurt his self-esteem and say that the Liu family looked down on him. However, this teacher is indeed a person with real materials, and Cao Xiang will not retreat this time because of his own discomfort.

Fortunately, Xingxiang is a little interested in painting on the one hand, and on the other hand, she is stared at by her three younger sisters, and she is embarrassed to be half-hearted, but she has studied painting and tailoring for three years in a down-to-earth manner. And they are all highly praised by the master, and they are no longer giving up halfway.

Liu's restaurants will not be closed until the 26th and 7th of the lunar month, because the weather is cold, and the spicy hot pot specially added by his family in winter is very popular with public customers, and the more cold it is at the end of the year, the busier the business. In the first year, I didn't succeed in closing my business before the new year, and then I formed a pattern, and I couldn't stop my business until I was twenty-six or twenty-seven. This year, as usual, on the evening of the 27th, the kitchen hall and all the corners were cleaned up, and a thorough cleaning was done. On the twenty-eighth day, I first sent some other members of the Xie family back to the mountains, and then took Xie Shoujiang (Xie Chenglu's eldest son) back to the Liu family for the New Year.

When Wang Hongying got home, she saw that her home was clear and bright, and the quilt was also soft, and she didn't need to do anything by herself, so she happily praised her cousin-in-law. Xie Chenglu's daughter-in-law was praised so shyly, she did all the trivial things she usually lived at home, is it worth the eldest cousin to be so happy? !

It's a trivial matter for her, but for Wang Hongying, it can liberate her from the labor of cleaning up the house years ago. In the past few years, although Xing Ju came to help every day, she was limited in what she could do. Wang Hongying washes quilts and sheets in the county seat every year, and washes them for several days. finally got home, and I had to continue washing, and I didn't have a rest, and I was busy with the New Year and the New Year's dinner, and there was almost no time for her to rest in a month. This year, the Xie family's cousin has done everything at home, and as soon as she arrives home, she can be like an uncle without worrying about anything, can she not be comfortable and happy?

"Second cousin-in-law, it's really hard for you, the quilts and sheets at home have been washed. Exhausted, aren't you?"

Chenglu's daughter-in-law politely replied: "Sister-in-law, you make me embarrassed by what you said. How tiring can this quilt and sheet be? When we are at home, we still have to wash mosquito nets, which is called difficult to wash!"

(Explain the matter of washing mosquito nets in winter: since the Liu family moved to a new house, they don't need mosquito nets when they have a ceiling.) In fact, at this time, mosquito nets were basically used in rural areas, one was to cover mosquitoes in summer, and the other was to keep dust out. In general, the mosquito net is washed twice a year, once before the summer comes, and once before the Chinese New Year. No matter how lazy people are, they have to wash mosquito nets once a year ago, which is a kind of moral in the local area, called: Settle the account! That is, I hope that if there are arrears at home, I can clean them up before the year. Therefore, if there is a mosquito net at home, at the end of the year, even if it snows heavily, it must be cleaned before the New Year. In the past, the mosquito net was gauze and cotton, and the top of the net was a very thick old cloth, which was different from the later kind of nylon. Such a tent can fill a large wooden basin with a diameter of more than one meter even after soaking in water. This kind of mosquito net needs to be washed by two people, one to scoop water into the basin and the other to step on. If you don't do anything else, you have to wash it from seven or eight o'clock in the morning to eleven or twelve o'clock in the middle of the day before you can wash a tent. Therefore, in the countryside at this time, washing mosquito nets at the end of the year is a big deal. ）

Wang Hongying has done a lot of washing mosquito nets in previous years, and he deeply agrees. "Oh, don't say it, I also wash mosquito nets every year. This new house does not need to hang a tent, the old house on the county side has temporarily pulled a canopy with a cloth, and there is no mosquito net, otherwise I am afraid that I can only come back on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"Oh! Make a canopy out of cloth?! Or do you live a good life!"

Chenglu's daughter-in-law never thought about whether her family would have a time to make a ceiling. It's not that they don't have money, it's mainly that they never think about spending money where they don't need it.
