Chapter 084 The Past
On the second day, Qingyuan went to school after exercising in the morning, helping the family pick up firewood and cutting pigweed, Qinggang never left his brother, and he was reluctant to cry all of a sudden, and coaxed for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Gangzi, you are good, take the sand table to practice calligraphy at home, is it okay for my brother to come back to read to you, help grandma and grandma do some work, sweep the yard, wipe the table or something, brother is going to school, the task falls on your head, brother knows that you must be able to do a good job, right?" Qingyuan seemed to have learned Qiaolan's set, encouraging and hinting.
"Yes, then brother, I'm obedient, help grandma with her work, can you come back early?"
"Okay, you help your mother go to the dock to deliver food, my brother will go to help my mother work after school, you can see me, see people's mouths are sweeter, a little bit of eyes, do you understand?" Qingyuan taught Qinggang how to work at the dock.
"Understand, like my brother, call an uncle. "Qinggang's little head is like a chicken pecking rice.
"Yes, my brother is too smart, my brother is gone, help my mother and grandma work, don't be lazy, I'm going to beat you when I come back." Qingyuan coaxed his younger brother to go to school with the older children in the same village.
Qiaolan bought candy twist desserts for the children who went to school in the same village early, helped take care of Qingyuan, walked to and from school together, came to play at home when you were free, and your aunt left you delicious food. The children are from the same village and gladly agreed, not to mention delicious snacks.
Sent away the child Zhang is also going to the stall, took away Chunni and Qinggang, Zhang thinks it is beneficial to let the children go to work on the dock, only a few days Qingyuan is like a little adult, talking in a set, although Qinggang is smaller, but it is time to learn to be independent.
Qiao Lan copied the book in the house to practice calligraphy, and then she was not in a hurry to embroider the picture, and found out all the rags that she had left a little good fabric, and felt that it was a little little, so she ran to the yard, "Mother, do you still have any rag heads?"
"Yes, in the small chest of drawers on the kang, the roll wrapped in blue cloth is your leftover good material, you can look for it. "Mother Li is busy with the family's food in the kitchen, and the spring is about to plant, everyone is busy, and they can start building a house after they are busy sowing.
"Oh, I'll look for it. Qiao Lan went to Mother Li's house and tossed some rags and came out.
I found a small basket made by my father, picked a beautiful and small rare one, took the rag head and began to tie the flowers.
According to the good-looking color, the brightness and gloss of different fabrics are different, and they are arranged separately, and the flowers of gauze and satin and silk are made of different styles are very beautiful.
Tie into all kinds of flowers, spring, summer, autumn and winter can wear a pile of flowers, crowded together and inserted in a basket, piled into a flower basket. It didn't take long to dare to make a flower basket before lunch.
"Mother, do you look good?" Qiao Lan took the flower basket and ran to show Mother Li.
"Hey, it's really good-looking, you can teach me how to do it, I can do it if I'm idle." Mother Li looked at the red and yellow yarn satin flowers, roses, chrysanthemums, peonies and other flowers, which were very beautiful together.
"It's simple, learn a few times, go back to the county and call me, I'll buy some pearls or something little things back, and I can make more flowers, to ensure that there are people in the jewelry building, as long as you do it exquisitely and beautifully, it is an income, not worse than your embroidery." Qiao Lan raised her chin triumphantly.
The more Li Mu looked at it, the more she liked it, "Do you want to sell this?" I am a little reluctant to sell it, how beautiful it is at home." ”
"It's just some rags, and what's there, I'll tie you a different one, take it to the shopkeeper of the jewelry store to see, we can do it for us if we do well, I can also help you do it when I'm free, and sell it for a few taels of silver a month, and earn more money and wait for Qinggang to go to school in two years." I think this can be done for a long time, although this is not very difficult, but some people can't learn to tie it badly. One more income, just after Qingyuan, you don't have to worry about the bundle fee. Qiao Lan is also helping to figure out a way.
"Cheng, learn this, you said there is also that jewelry with beads, right?" Mother Li inquired about the way to make money.
"Yes, it's still beautiful, I'll go back and buy something to do a little more style, the boss will definitely like it, there is no bead string at home, there is still a lack of something, the first time I want to buy it myself, I pay for this money, I do a good job you have learned, take it to the boss to set a job to do, do not become a mother?"
"You don't have to pay, my mother has money, that's also my mother's grandson, how can I not help, saving this money is all for you, listen to my mother's I have it." Mother Li happily agreed.
"Okay, I'll go and tie a few more beautiful and delicate flowers, and I'll teach you how to tie flowers in the evening." Qiao Lan nodded happily.
"Cheng, you pick out the material, first practice with that bad rag, and then tie it with good material when we are proficient. Mother Li commanded.
"Got it. ”
"It's all a small thing, don't delay your embroidery, that's a big deal. Mother Li shouted after chasing her ass.
"Don't worry, I'll know if it's ready. Qiao Lan responded with a smile.
Xuewu came back, went to the mountains and came back, and picked a lot of medicinal herbs in the basket and came back.
"You're back, get so many medicinal herbs?" Mother Li glanced at it, there were quite a lot of things.
"Well, grandpa said that his family saved a little medicinal herbs to prevent epidemics, and I also think that the water level has dropped quite a lot, and it is right to keep a little. I'm going to get a little more and transplant some when the house is ready. The rest was sold, and the money was exchanged for the children to study, and this matter should not be sloppy. Xuewu said seriously, put the basket on the ground, and prepared to concoct medicinal materials.
"Cheng, I know you love your nephew. ”
"In the future, I will pay ten taels of silver every month, not less than eight taels, you save more silver money, keep it for Qinggang to go to school, two children have to go to school, not one left." "Xuewu has always felt very guilty in his heart, because his family didn't have so much money, so he could only go to the eldest brother by himself and gave up the opportunity.
Now he can't repeat the mistakes of the past in any case, and the little achievements he has made today are in exchange for the sacrifice of his brother.
"Hey, you still remember what happened back then, it's all in the past, and your brother doesn't like to be a doctor. Mother Li let out a long sigh, and her heart ached.
"I remember, at the beginning, my brother was brighter than me, but in the end my brother gave up, my brother is very talented in reading, even if he is not a doctor, he can continue to study, he gave up for me, I know. In order to learn art all these years, my eldest brother and sister have contributed no less money and efforts, I really don't want to learn, but if I don't learn these sacrifices and efforts, it will be in vain, I am not reconciled!" Xuewu lowered his head and trembled all over.
The money paid will not be returned, his master has real skills, but his character is not good, but grandma said that what you have to learn is the ability not his character, and the short man will pull the general, and he must learn to make trade-offs.
Grandma has a saying that he always remembers, to be a man you have to learn to make trade-offs, when you give up your dreams, think about the hard work that your family and friends have sacrificed for you, are you willing?
