Chapter 221: A Little Long Vacation (8)
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the surface of the river, and the golden waves sparkle brightly. The leaves of the willow trees by the river slowly turn yellow, and after a few days they begin to fall off, leaving only bare branches, which look a little depressed, but in the spring of the following year, the willow branches will still sprout, and then grow new leaves, and then turn into green branches again, and then gently sway in the breeze.
In the cornfield by the river, there are several families harvesting corn, and you can vaguely hear the screams and scolding of adults, shouting that their naughty children hurry up and load corn, although the children don't want to work at all, but they can only dare to be angry and dare not speak.
At this time, the cornfield looks still very neat and tidy, but it has lost the green appearance in summer, but the jade wood poles have turned yellow, but the fragrance of corn in the air shows that it is another harvest season.
During the autumn harvest, people who work outside will try their best to rush home, because relying on the old people at home to work, it is simply not possible, and the village has the least three or five acres of land, and the three or five acres of land alone will be harvested for several days, which is still a beautiful situation.
When the autumn harvest comes, the people in the village hope that the weather is good, because the weather is good, it is easier to grab it, and it is easy to dry, otherwise when the heavy rain comes, the corn in the field will not be harvested, and the corn will be moldy because of the rain, then there will be a lot of losses, and the income will be less.
After the meal, as soon as Gu Sisi washed the dishes, she heard a crisp shout in the courtyard, and after listening carefully, she knew that it was Wan'er and the others who came.
Chen Xinling welcomed the arrival of her daughter's little sister, but Xue Guizhi was a little sneering, but as soon as the little girls walked to the backyard, her face changed again.
Gu Sisi ignored the little aunt's thoughts, and she took the little sisters straight to her room. Brother Hao followed her two brothers, although she liked her sister the most, but she still had to listen to what her sister said.
Because of Mu Wan'er's relationship, soon the quiet room became lively, and several little girls laughed non-stop. Mu Wan'er looked at Gu Sisi's very small but beautifully decorated room, her face was envious, she touched the tablecloth for a while, lifted the curtains for a while, and the small room made her look at all the corners and corners, "Oh, Sisi, I like your room so much, this curtain is my favorite, and this tablecloth, and this bookshelf, you bought these things there, I really want my room to look like this!"
"Do you like it? I learned to make these curtains and tablecloths by myself, and my mother bought them, so I just did it. It's this bookshelf, which was also made by my grandfather, and my brother polished it, in fact, it was made casually, if you like it, I can teach you, it's very simple. Gu Sisi smiled and asked the little sister to sit down, looking at Mu Wan'er's appearance of being interested in everything, she said to her with a smile.
"Don't do it, if she can learn this, then it will really be a pig that can go up the tree! Let's Wan'er, that's okay if you do it for her, let her do it herself, maybe her house is even more messy, it's like a pig's nest, and then let her pick it up, it's probably worse than a pig's nest." Mu Shanshan sat on the edge of the bed and joked with a smile, in fact, she also liked Gu Sisi's room, but she was too embarrassed to ask. In this way, it is not difficult to do what Gu Sisi said, and she has the idea of wanting to learn along, but she can't even use a sewing machine, so can she go back and find Sisi to do it.
Mu Wan'er didn't know Shanshan's careful thoughts, her face was bulging with anger now, "Hey, I said Mu Shanshan, where is my pig's nest, it's just a mess." I'll go home today and learn Sisi to tidy it up like this, and when I go back, I ask my mother to pull a few meters of cloth for me, and Sisi you can also help me make beautiful curtains and tablecloths. I don't believe it, I can't clean up my house, and I will definitely impress Shanshan when the time comes. ”
"Haha! Okay, I'll see how you turn decay into magic!" Mu Shanshan covered her mouth and smiled, she knew that this girl was impulsive, look, this is not fooled!
"Okay, you two don't quarrel, we're not here to talk about it!" "Sisi, what are we going to learn today? We'll braid three strands, and the others won't!" Mu Yingying also couldn't stop laughing on the side, these two didn't know what was going on, and they had to fight once they met.
Gu Sisi listened to what Ying Ying said, and his heart was clear, "Just know how to braid! These things make perfect with practice." Today, I will teach you to learn simple knots, starting with the diamond knot, and then learn the concentric knot, the 10,000-character knot, the caisson knot, the ruyi knot, and the long knot......
"What's the knot? Why are there so many, just listening to my head is big, why is there so many kinds of knots, what if I can't learn it?" Mu Wan'er felt very happy when she heard it before, but when she heard it again, her little face wrinkled.
"Don't worry, listen to Sisi first, we don't have to be so greedy to learn everything, let's start with the simple, and then learn the complexity from Sisi. Didn't Sisi also say it, who can make perfect? Mu Yingying was very helpless, why is this girl so anxious.
"Well, okay, okay, I don't mean anything else, it just sounds so complicated. Sisi, you go on. Mu Wan'er scratched her head embarrassedly, she didn't want to.
"Actually, this knotted rope is not very complicated, you can definitely learn it slowly, and you should not think too complicated about weaving. Gu Sisi nodded, smiling and comforting.
"Well, that's right. If the math is so difficult, I can score 80 points, and if the text is so difficult to memorize, I can memorize it three or five times. This rope must not be difficult for me. "Mu Wan'er is not in a hurry now, she can read well, isn't it just to make things up by hand, it must be much easier than using her brain.
"That's okay, let's start now!" Gu Sisi smiled, she didn't want to discourage Mu Wan'er's enthusiasm, and when she learned, she would know whether it would be difficult or not.
Chen Xinling didn't deliberately go to her daughter's room, just made orange water for a few little girls, took a plate of osmanthus cake and went back to her house.
Gu Guoren listened to the laughter in his daughter's room, the smile on his face deepened, and he didn't feel tired of chopping firewood in his hands, and even felt full of motivation.
