Since the machine was brought home by Wang Jianguo, Cuilian wanted to start weaving. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After seven or eight days of anxious waiting, I finally heard the sister-in-law of the tree root beckoning the women of the village to go up the mountain to cut cotton and linen.

"Cuilian, I heard Erya say before, you don't have hemp rope at home? If you take more cotton and linen poles back today, the rest of us won't need so much. Ye Xiang, the sister-in-law of the tree, was fully armed, with long clothes and trousers, and covered her head and face, and walked behind with a machete to pull Cuilian behind, and whispered to Cuilian.

"Sister-in-law, thank you then. To tell you the truth, I want more, I just found someone to get a machine a few days ago, and I want to see if I can weave cloth. Seeing that there was no one around her, Cuilian quietly informed Ye Xiang of her intentions.

For Ye Xiang, Cuilian is more sympathetic now, not to mention that her man and her own man are the first and second leaders in the village, just say that her hearty and calm personality is worth intersecting. Cuilian has been in Qingshuihe Village for a month, and she can talk to her the most. If you want to weave cloth, you can tell Ye Xiang. In this way, if the other party also wants to help weave the cloth themselves, they will only get more cotton and linen poles. Cuilian also believes that Ye Xiang will not be unmoved.

"What's the fun? Weaving? Will you? Ye Xiang felt that she was hallucinating, and she didn't believe what she heard. She looked at Cuilian in surprise, not very tall, her skin was not white, her head and face were wrapped in a handkerchief, her gray-white shirt and black pants, a typical peasant woman's dress, no different from what she had seen before.

But after a closer look, Ye Xiang suddenly found that unconsciously, Cuilian had some different charm. Maybe it's a difference between a woman married and unmarried; However, the introverted and calm body is not like that.

"I can't lie to you. Two days ago, I asked Tie Dan'er and his father to give me the machine, and I waited to collect the cotton and linen poles and weave the thread. Seeing Ye Xiang's look of surprise and disbelief, Cuilian was still a little proud.

Nowadays, many ancestral crafts have been lost, especially in the next few decades, when people are surrounded by mechanization, some handicraft works are bought at sky-high prices. As a cuilian reborn from an ancient farmhouse, a lot of craftsmanship, after hundreds of years of edification, will not be enough. Therefore, she has the confidence to create a foundation for children after the reform and opening up.

"Oh my God, you know how to do this, I haven't heard of it before?" Ye Xiang was still a little unconvinced, after all, when she was going to see Cuilian for Wang Jianguo, she had helped inquire, but she didn't know that she would do this.

"Oh, I learned this from my grandmother when I was a child, and then I followed my grandfather, and I had a lot of housework, and I didn't have the money to make that thing, so no one knew that I could do it. Let's talk about it first, I will definitely be able to weave the cloth, and it is still muslins, so I won't give it away in vain. My sister-in-law must give me your cotton and linen poles, and you must help me to divide more, otherwise it will be too little, and I will not be able to weave muslin. Looking at Ye Xiang's suspicious eyes, Cuilian also chuckled in her heart, but fortunately she reacted quickly, and brought it over with a few vague words.

"Needless to say, as long as you can weave cloth, I'll give you all that part. If it's not enough, it's okay to help you find some for the village, anyway, every family divides it every year, and whoever makes it finish. Is it okay to make hemp rope? If it works, I still have a big bag of hemp rope at home that is useless, so I'll give it to you. Ye Xiang didn't notice Cuilian's discomfort for a moment, but really believed Cuilian's words. Once she believed in the fact that Cuilian could weave cloth, Ye Xiang became excited.

The annual cloth ticket in each village is fixed, just a few meters of cloth, it is not enough to make a single dress, where is there still everyone to wear new clothes? Especially when there is a happy event at home, in order to borrow a ticket, not to mention the relatives in the surrounding neighborhood, there will be no new clothes for several years. Why do people in the city look down on us countrymen even if they don't have enough to eat in the country, it's not because the countrymen are worn out and patched. If there is enough cloth for clothes, see who looks down on whom.

"It's more troublesome to roll it into hemp rope, I'll use this year's cotton and linen pole first, and then talk about it, see how much rice cloth can be weaved, if it's not enough, I'll get hemp rope from you." However, the thread twisted out of the hemp rope is not as fine as the fresh one, and the softness of the cloth is not good enough. After thinking about it, Cuilian felt that it was better to see how the harvest of cotton and linen poles was going this year, and this was the first time she had woven cloth since she was reborn, and she didn't know what the effect was, so she didn't dare to say it full.

"As long as it's cloth, it's fine or coarse. Cuilian, you see if this will work, the cloth you weave must be close to your home first, and then trouble you to help me weave some, rest assured, my sister-in-law doesn't want you in vain, when the time comes, I won't count these hemp stalks, I'll make up some more money for you, what do you think? ”

"Of course it's no problem, sister-in-law, if it's fast and time, a piece of cloth will only look like four or five days. But the twisted thread will take some effort, and if you want to weave muslin, the thread must be very fine. In fact, Cuilian wants to pull Ye Xiang together, Ye Xiang, as the daughter-in-law of the branch secretary, must be easier to do a lot of things than herself, the new daughter-in-law of the village chief. After all, he is still living a life of collective labor, and he must not delay going to work. If he doesn't go to work for a long time, the Wang family may not say anything, and the rumors in the village will definitely be ugly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the thread, it shouldn't be difficult to twist the thread, when the time comes, you teach me, I will definitely do it, my needlework is not bad." Ye Xiang was afraid that Cuilian wouldn't believe it, so she boasted about it.

"Sister-in-law, I definitely believe in your craft. It's not difficult to twist the thread, but if you want to weave muslin, it will take a little longer. If it were just the two of us, it would be a bit far-fetched to weave enough cloth for winter clothes before the onset of winter. Cuilian truthfully calculated the time it would take for a piece of cloth to be completely woven to Ye Xiang.

"What do you mean?" Ye Xiang looked at her suspiciously.

"Sister-in-law, I know that the world is difficult now, and it is even more difficult to buy something without money and tickets, especially in our rural areas, such as buying fabrics. You see, if our Qinghegou Village organizes women to twist threads and weave cloth by themselves during the slack time, it is not considered a division of labor, but each family can get one or two pieces of cloth, do you think the people in our village are willing? Faced with Ye Xiang's question, Cuilian did not hesitate to tell her her thoughts.

"Cuilian, you, are you willing to teach this craft to others?"

"What's unwilling, it's not my own unique craft, I also learned it from my grandmother."

"But, you can do it now. And, Cuilian, have you discussed this matter with your family? It's not that your sister-in-law doesn't believe you, you have to know that everyone is poor and afraid, if you know that you want to teach everyone to weave, then the women in the village must everyone want to learn, you are alone, it is definitely impossible to teach all of them together, so who comes first and who comes last? You also know the current way of the world, if this matter spreads, will it have any impact on our village, have you considered it? Cuilian wanted to teach her craft to others, and Ye Xiang was shocked. But after the shock, she thought more about safety. Now it's different from the past, if you're not careful, you'll end up being criticized, she doesn't want Cuilian to suffer that sin because of her kindness.

"Sister-in-law, I just thought of this, and I haven't had time to discuss it with Tie Dan'er and his father. You're right, I'm thinking too simply, I just want everyone to be able to weave and not have to worry about getting dressed every year, but I don't think about the consequences of doing so. ”

"Cuilian, don't be discouraged, you have few things to do when you are young, and your heart is good, if this can be done, the whole village will be grateful to you. In this way, let's go cut the cotton and linen poles today and distribute the things. Rest assured, many people are willing to give it to you if you want it. They also dislike this thing for taking up space and not talking about it, and it also delays things. You can discuss other things with you, and I'll go back and talk to Erya's father to see if we can find a suitable way. ”

"Okay, listen to my sister-in-law, no matter what, you have to help me share more later, you know, I have a new daughter-in-law, I must do a lot." Cuilian has experienced hundreds of years of changes in the times, and has seen ****, the new era of reform and opening up, how could she not take into account what Ye Xiang said. And she had mentioned this matter to Wang Jianguo before, but Wang Jianguo asked her to think about it herself, and she didn't understand Wang Jianguo's concerns. Therefore, she pulled Ye Xiang up, and Ye Xiang, as the village women's director, always has a deterrent effect.

"You are thin-skinned, and I will be able to give you a lot of money in a while, enough for you to spend a lot of time." can get Cuilian's trust, Ye Xiang has a sense of accomplishment, and she patted her chest to ensure that she "shared" the cotton and linen poles.
