Chapter 63: Making New Clothes

Zhang Xingti slipped back with the rabbit, it was rare for Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to be at home, and they all came around all of a sudden, you asked Zhang Xing a word.

"Where did you catch this rabbit? How did you catch it? ”

"Anything else? Take us to see it. ”

Zhang Xing found a rope and came out, wrapped the rabbit's legs, and asked Wei Minwen Wei Minwu with a smile: "You want to catch the rabbit?" ”

Wei Minwu nodded in a row, and Wei Minwen's eyes were also full of interest.

"Okay, I'll take you tomorrow to catch it." Zhang Xing agreed.

A rabbit attracted all three boys of the family, and gathered around them to pull their feathers and legs, and the poor little rabbit trembled with fright. Zhang Xing washed a basket of mushrooms and found a dustpan to dry.

Wei Yunhai and Ye Hexiang also came back, and they were also very happy to see that they had caught a rabbit. Wei Yunhai rolled up his sleeves and took the rabbit to the river to peel it. Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu followed to see the excitement. Zhang Jinbao refused to kill the rabbit, and the struggle failed, pouting his mouth, with tears in his eyes. Ye Hexiang still felt sorry for her son, and hugged her son and coaxed her for a long time.

The next day, Wei Minwen Wei Minwu got up early in the morning, slipped into the kitchen from time to time, and asked Zhang Xing: "Are you done?" What are you going to catch rabbits? ”

The vegetable seeds have already gone to the ground, Wei Yunhai has gone out, Ye Hexiang is at home, and she is going to go out with Zhang Jinbao after eating at this time. But Zhang Jinbao had already thrown his mother out of the clouds, and he didn't want to go to the door with Ye Hexiang, never leaving Zhang Xing, and from time to time he dragged Zhang Xing and called: "Sister catch rabbits, sister catch rabbits." ”

"Good Jinbao. My sister finished rubbing the straw rope and went to catch the rabbit with Jinbao! Zhang Xing said with a smile.

Zhang Jinbaole's Harazi has been flowing for a long time.

He doesn't haunt the lotus fragrance anymore. Ye Hexiang was slightly disappointed in her heart, and mocked Zhang Xing and said, "How can rabbits be so easy to catch?" You were lucky yesterday. I caught one. Don't think about it today, if there are so many rabbits in the woods, it's your turn to catch them? What rabbit to catch? I think you're trying to get out of the way and have fun, right? I'm lazy with all my thoughts! Go into the garden and repair the hedge. ”

"Mother, why don't you go to repair?" Zhang Xing asked with a smile.

Ye Hexiang was choked by her, slightly stunned, and said angrily: "I'm busy with other things!" Dead girl, just know that Lu Dao is staring at your mother! Did I give birth to you? ”

Zhang Xing smiled and didn't answer. Ye Hexiang said this, the two boys of the Wei family were staring at her, and she had to go out with a calm face.

Wei Minwu stabbed his brother. Wei Minwen had a thoughtful look on his face.

Zhang Xing rubbed a large bundle of straw rope and sharpened a piece of wood, then stood up in anticipation and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu moved when they heard the wind, and Zhang Jinbao also pounced on him happily, dragging Zhang Xing to go out. Zhang Xing summoned Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu closer, pulled the straw rope to Wei Minwen's shoulder, and stuffed the stick into Wei Minwu's hand. He held the basket in one hand and Zhang Jinbao in the other.

Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu looked at each other, Wei Minwu wanted to shirk the blame, and thought that he was about to catch a rabbit. These things are probably going to come in handy. Forget it, the fun of catching rabbits weighs on everything. The two brothers held back and followed Zhang Xing out the door.

Along the way, Wei Minwen was silent. Wei Minwu asked east and west.

"What are you asking us to do with such a straw rope?"

"Are there any rabbits in the woods? You're not going to fool us, are you? ”

Zhang Xing always said: "When the time comes, you will know the Tao." ”

Zhang Xing led them to the vegetable garden, opened the fence gate and went in. Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu realized that something was wrong. Wei Minwu shouted, "Aren't you going to take us to catch rabbits?" What are you doing here? ”

Zhang Xing turned around and said, "Yes, the fence has been repaired." Let's go catch rabbits. ”

Wei Minwu was furious and threw the stick in his hand, "It's been a long time, you're kidding us, right?" ”

Zhang Xing was surprised and said: "No, the dew in the forest has not dried up so early now, and the rabbit is still sleeping in the hole, how to catch it?" You'll have to wait until they're out of the hole before you can catch them, right? ”

Is the rabbit still sleeping in the hole at this time? Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu didn't know what to do with this problem, but it was the first time they had caught this. Although Wei Minwen was the older of the two brothers, he was also honest and didn't say anything. Wei Minwu didn't do it, and said with his head held high: "Who are you fooling, you still think that the two of us are three-year-old children?" You think I don't know what to do, but you're trying to trick us into coming here to help you work! He dragged Wei Minwen and said, "Brother, let's go, let's not listen to her fools." ”

"So let's go?" Zhang Xing smiled and said, "I'll catch rabbits in a while, but I don't have the time to find you." ”

Wei Minwen Wei Minwu paused, Wei Minwu didn't believe Zhang Xing anymore, and he was about to leave, Wei Minwen stood still, turned to look at Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing was squatting next to the fence and tying up the newly planted branches with a straw rope, when she saw Wei Minwen turn around, she saw the stitches and shouted, "Big brother, bring the branch at your feet." ”

Wei Minwen looked at the branch under his feet and was hesitating, Zhang Jinbao ran over, picked up the branch and handed it to Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing smiled and said, "Jinbao is really capable, she will help her sister work!" ”

Zhang Jinbao nodded matter-of-factly, "Jinbao is good, help my sister repair the fence!" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xing smiled and scratched Zhang Jinbao's nose and said, "After the fence is repaired, we will have vegetables to eat, Jinbao is really good." ”

Wei Minwen's black face was slightly red.

"Let's go." Wei Minwu pulled him and shouted.

Wei Minwen shook off Wei Minwu, picked up the branches on the ground, and squatted at the other end of the fence to repair them. Wei Minwu looked at Wei Minwen in a daze for a while, snorted, didn't leave, didn't go to help, squatted on the ground and played with ants, but after playing for a while, he saw that Zhang Xingzhang Jinbao was busy with a smile on one side, and Wei Minwen was silent on the other side, busy with himself, and he was idle with nothing to do. He finally couldn't bear it anymore, licked his face and ran to Wei Minwu's side to help.

The fence of this vegetable garden was half repaired last time, and now the three of them are working together, and the speed is faster, and it will be busy in a while. Zhang Xing picked up the pointed stick on the ground, held the basket, and said with a smile: "Let's go, catch the rabbit." ”

"I'll take it, I'll take it, you just hold him." In the end, it is a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, forgetful, there are interesting things, and everything can be forgotten. Wei Minwu took the initiative to run over and take the stick in Zhang Xing's hand and let Zhang Xing lead Zhang Jinbao.

A few people came to the woods, Wei Minwu saw Zhang Xing picking mushrooms while walking, and walked for a long time, the mushrooms were half basketed, but they didn't even see a rabbit hair. He couldn't help asking, "Did you catch it here last time?" Wouldn't there be just one? ”

"Also, there's at least one more around here." Zhang Xing whispered. Zhang Xing could see that there was not only one rabbit left by rabbits on the ground in the woods.

Wei Minwu also asked. Zhang Xing motioned for him to be quieter, squatted on the ground to take a closer look, pointed to the side, and whispered to Wei Minwu: "You guard that head, see me gesturing and acting, just make a move." He pointed to the other side and asked Wei Minwen to come over, and he gestured the same.

The three of them each guarded one side, Zhang Xing gestured, Wei Minwen Wei Minwu took a tree strip and rushed up in the grass, and after a while, he saw a fat rabbit coming out of the grass, Zhang Xing's eyes were fast, and the wooden stick in his hand was inserted, and the fat rabbit was nailed to the ground.

She was about to bend over to pick it up, when she heard Zhang Jinbao, who was standing next to her, waving a pair of fat hands, waw wow shouting: "Rabbit! Rabbit! Sister catches rabbits! ”

Zhang Xing hurriedly got up and jumped over there as if flying, and sure enough, he saw a fat rabbit running all over the ground, Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu lost the strip in their hands and chased after them.

Zhang Xing crossed them, pounced on them, and grabbed the rabbit's ears and lifted them up. Wei Minwen, who was running out of breath, followed behind, Wei Minwu looked at Zhang Xing dumbfounded.

Zhang Xing smiled and passed past the two of them. Wei Minwu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother, why did she run so fast?" Wei Minwen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and before he could catch his breath, he only shook his head.

Zhang Xing wrapped the legs of the two rabbits and threw them into Wei Minwen's arms one by one. Wei Minwu followed behind Zhang Xing and asked, "Hey, how do you know that there are rabbits here?" Also, how did you throw it so accurately? ”

Zhang Xing has lived alone in the mountains for several months, if she can't even catch a few rabbits, how can she survive? It's just that these things are not clear. Zhang Xing only smiled and said, "Practice makes perfect, throw it a few more times, and you can do it." ”

Wei Minwu was stunned, this can also practice makes perfect? As soon as he came back to his senses, Zhang Xing and the others had already walked away, Wei Minwu hurriedly trotted to catch up, and asked, "How many rabbits have you caught in total?" ”

Zhang Xing shook her head, "I don't remember." ”

A group of people rushed to the house, but Wei Yunhai and Ye Hexiang had not come back yet. One of the two rabbits they caught was alive and the other was half dead. Zhang Xing killed it herself, peeled her fur, and hung it with yesterday's rabbit to dry in the shade.

Although this rabbit fur is nothing in the mountain goods, it can still be sold for a few dollars in the Jianghuai Plain.

They now have three rabbits, especially the two they caught today, which are fat and big, enough to eat for a few meals. The day before yesterday, Wei Yunhai also brought rice, vegetables and meat back in the town, and it was enough for the family to spend a New Year without worrying about food and clothing.

At night, Zhang Xing pulled Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to measure their shoulders and waists. The village is not better than the people in the town, the clothes, shoes and socks are mostly do-it-yourself, and now the moon is not good, and it is impossible for people like them to ask the embroidery village people to do things. Ye Hexiang said a long time ago that she was going to make clothes for Wei Yunhaizhang Jinbao a year ago. Wei Minwen, Wei Minwu and Zhang Xing's can only wait for the New Year.

Zhang Xing didn't dare to count on her, but she would only make some simple sewing and modifications, and she wouldn't cut anything. She asked Ye Hexiang several times, but Ye Hexiang looked impatient, except that she was stupid and couldn't even learn this thing, and she didn't say a reason.

Zhang Xingyuan wanted to compare himself to the cutting of his old clothes, but he was still afraid of making a mistake and didn't dare to start - it is very rare to get a new dress this year. She had to turn to Aunt He next door for help. Aunt He was very enthusiastic and taught Zhang Xing how to cut and make clothes. (To be continued......)
