Not long after the smoke from the stove in the village came out, seven or eight half-grown children who were about to fetch water came to the village compound together. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info said that it was a half-grown child, but in fact, they were all girls around nine or ten years old.

"Second aunt, I'm Erya, my mother asked me to take you to the field." Just as Cuilian was scooping boiling water into the bucket, a little girl about ten years old wearing a two-patched dress shouted in at the door of the stove room.

Hearing this, Cuilian knew that this was the second girl of the sister-in-law's family, and hurriedly greeted the second girl and several other children: "Hey, the second aunt thank you Erya." The water has just been boiled, and you can pick it up when it's cold. ”

"Well, second aunt, we'll wait in the yard." With that, Erya pulled a few friends out of the stove room.

"Erya, this is the village chief's new daughter-in-law? So young. ”

"Yes, I only picked it up yesterday, you didn't go to see it?"

"I'm going to take my brother, where do I have time to go."

"yes."

"Erya, will Xiaoya's stepmother abuse her? I listened to my grandmother, but my stepmother was cruel and vicious, and told me to stay away from her in the future. ”

"That's it, that's it, my mother also said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and the little girl will definitely be good in the future."

"Really? What should I do then? ”

"I don't know......"

Listening to a few children chattering in front of her, the party said "whispering" there really made her cry and laugh, it seems that although she is the daughter-in-law of the village chief, she has a lot of gossip in private, this is the second day of the wedding, even these children know to spread such a little talk, I don't know if the little girl heard, if you hear it, what should you think, and the iron egg, hey, the mouth grows on others, as long as you have a clear conscience.

The reason why Qinghegou Village is called Qinghegou is because the village is built on a river ditch, this river ditch is very large, the water is deep, and the surrounding terrain is uneven, but all the arable land in the village that can grow crops is in a slightly flat place. Usually seven or eight children, two people carry a bucket of water, and it takes three or four times to run back and forth to deliver the water that the adults drink. But how could Cuilian let Erya, the child, carry the water with herself, so that she might as well pick it up quickly.

"Erya, do you know what this piece of cotton and linen stalk is going to be used for in the village?" On the way back after delivering the last water, Cuilian carried two empty buckets and followed Erya to the village below the mountain, and when she saw a large cotton and linen forest on the cliff of the river ditch on the side of the road, she couldn't help but ask Erya beside her.

"Oh, that, that's the one that cuts back and rubs the hemp rope, every family has it. Second aunt, why are you asking this? Does the second aunt want to use hemp rope? I still have a lot of them at home, I'll go home and get them for you. ”

"Hehe, no, the second aunt just asked, do you know what this thing is used for in addition to rubbing hemp rope?"

"What else can you do besides rubbing hemp rope? I don't know, I know that my mother uses hemp rope to rub it every year, but there are so many at home, my mother is a waste of effort. ”

"Oh."

Er Ya is a cheerful little girl, I feel a little shy when I am not familiar, but after getting acquainted, you will feel very lively, I think she is the eldest and youngest in the family, and she is very favored, so she has developed such a lively character. But although she is only ten years old, it may be that her parents are cadres in the village, and they are more atmospheric than other children of the same age, and I heard her just now that she is now studying with a female intellectual.

From Erya's words, it can be seen that Wang Shugen and Ye Xiang are also relatively far-sighted people. At this time, the school had already been closed for more than a year because of the criticism of the stinky old nine, and the school was closed, and the children had no place to study. In the countryside, if you don't study, you can go home to help with housework, and you can also help your family earn a few more jobs, even the iron eggs at home. This situation will continue for several years, delaying the future of almost a generation, others don't know, can she not know about the resumption of the national college entrance examination in seven or eight years? Now the two children in the family are still young, and if they don't lay a good foundation first, the possibility of jumping out of the farm door in the college entrance examination in the future is very small.

However, that's all something to take slowly, after all, it's still early, I just arrived at this house, and I can't point fingers at this family, so I have to think about it in the long run. And the cotton and linen forest in front of her made Cuilian think of something that she could do now without being obtrusive - weaving.

As an ancient peasant daughter-in-law, it would be a joke if she didn't know how to weave, especially in the village where she used to live, almost all the fabrics used to make clothes were woven by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the family with such cotton and linen poles. It's just that the cloth woven in this way is all earthy yellow homespun cloth, which is very hard and worthless, and can only be worn by the peasant family themselves.

But Cuilian, who has been floating in this world for hundreds of years, has quietly learned a lot of skills that others do not pass on, for example, how to use the same cotton and linen pole to weave soft muslin, how to make the woven cloth dye other colors, and how to weave patterns on the woven cloth. This kind of cloth is used to make clothes, she thinks that she must not have to wear the really good clothes she wore yesterday, and the materials are poor, plus she dyes the woven cloth with some other colors, which is more beautiful than the monotonous really good white, so it is very good to use it as a gift.

Now that this cotton and linen forest has reached the time when it can be cut down, what can only be kneaded by others is a good thing for oneself. Go back and ask my mother to see if I can get more, and then ask Wang Jianguo to help me get a machine, the machine, that is, the ancient loom, then I can weave cloth to make clothes, make shoes, and solve the current problem.

The family must have owed a famine to this marriage, and even with the help of several other brothers and sisters, the family will definitely not be rich. Although they have only been together for one night, Cuilian can vaguely realize that Wang Jianguo is a very tough person and definitely does not want to owe his brothers and sisters, so at the end of the year, he has to come up with a decent New Year's gift.

And last night Cuilian knew that she saw that Wang Jianguo's clothes in the cabinet were not so many clothes, and there were two sets of old clothes sent back by Wang Jianjun, who was the eldest brother, to serve him as a façade, even if the eldest brother did not say that he wanted to go back, Cuilian felt uncomfortable, and let her man wear clothes made by other people's women, even if this woman was a sister-in-law, it made her feel awkward. Not to mention the elderly and children at home, in the current era, they can't eat enough, and where do they get so many cloth tickets to buy ripping cloth to make new clothes.

Therefore, as soon as she saw this piece of cotton and linen Lin Cuilian's thoughts today, she opened her mind, to make a machine, she knew the principle, and it should not be difficult for Wang Jianguo to ask someone to make one when the time comes. I just don't know if Wang Jianguo agrees with him doing this, will he be digging into the corner of socialism like this? If weaving cloth wouldn't cause any trouble, then he should still agree, Cuilian thought silently in her heart unconfidently.

"Second aunt be careful, I'm scared to death, second aunt, you don't want to look at the road, you almost fell into the ditch." Erya, who was walking in front, suddenly didn't hear the second aunt's voice and looked back, but saw that the second aunt almost stepped on the side, so frightened that she hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the second aunt's hand.

"Uh, ah, hehe, thank you, Erya, the second aunt wanted to do something, but she didn't notice her feet. If it weren't for you, the second aunt would have fallen a lot. Cuilian, who was pulled hard by Erya, had time to pay attention to the place she had just walked through, and she was also startled.

This road is along the edge of the ditch, there is a deep ditch on the side, walking on such a road, should be careful, but because of a cotton and hemp forest I was distracted and almost fell, think about Cuilian is also scared out of a cold sweat, to appease the scared Erya, the next road she didn't dare to think about the west. Lest those people in the village say that they are a broom star again, and they fall on the bed and lie down on the second day after they first come, then they really have a thousand mouths and can't tell clearly.
