Chapter 186: Making Flowers
82_82370Er Ya and Xiaohu went back with a large family all night, and they were so tired that they sat on the chair at the big table in the hall and didn't want to move. The nurse was busy boiling water for everyone to wash, the eldest aunt took the initiative to help, and the eldest cousin helped take care of Wen Chao and Wen Yue's four crazy children.
The children, who are still excited, continue to make noise when they get home, and you chase me and scream. Fortunately, Erya has always been very tolerant of children, even if the tired whole body is sore, and the body and mind can't stand such noise, but they can still watch the children laugh happily and carefree. will even accept running and running from time to time, and Xiao Yueyue, who suddenly turned, fell on her coldly and unexpectedly, and ravaged her coquettishly and cutely.
Xiaolong went back to his room and was busy packing his things, and he was going back to the county college tomorrow. The mood of going back to the academy now is completely different from the mood of going back to the academy yesterday, yesterday it was to avoid attending the celebration banquet in the town today, so I was in a hurry to leave, and I wished I could leave immediately. But now that the mood is relaxed, I am reluctant to leave the house, and the movements in my hands are inevitably a little suspicious.
Xiaohu and his wife, when the guests and children have rested, began to take a hot bath and clean up and sleep at will.
The next day, Xiaohu sent Anzi and Xiaolong back to the college in the county seat, and Erya had to go to the town to take care of it, after all, Liao Chengzhi still had to avoid those widowed women.
I can finally relax today, the number of people who eat has returned to normal, and everyone will not make mistakes in a hurry like yesterday.
The morning meal was completed by the second girl with her eldest aunt, eldest cousin, nurse, as well as the eldest aunt and second aunt who came with them. Those old women who were originally cooking were all called by Erya to go to the play.
After dinner in the afternoon, everything that should be dispersed is scattered. Erya went to the workshop of children's clothing. Find shredded satin and strips of rags in the pile of discarded rags, and teach the doggy and a dozen older girls who didn't have classes to make silk flowers.
Erya taught them while explaining to the dog: "I will teach you the appearance of five kinds of flowers first, and then you take the girls over seven years old to do it, one pattern at a time, and wait until someone on the market imitates it, and then you start to teach them to do the second pattern, and you just keep pushing through the old and changing the pattern." Children's wages are calculated by piece and quality. They have no parents to rely on. They can only earn some dowry money for themselves. Be clear with them. lest the children be ignorant and fool this inappropriately. ”
The dog girl didn't expect that Erya would value and trust herself so much, and give such an important thing to herself to lead the way. At the moment, he replied excitedly and apprehensively: "Hmm! Good! I'm up to you. Be sure to tell them what you mean. It's just that. I can't read or count, I'm afraid I won't be able to do well! ”
Erya replied: "It's okay, someone will be arranged to help you in advance, and you yourself have to follow them to learn to read and count." Because you are honest and serious. Be generous. I hope that these girls will follow you, learn from your good qualities, and at least be easily accepted in their dealings with people in the future. "Erya hopes that the girls who go out from here will be good girls with dignified character, generosity and benevolence. It's not a selfish girl who is crumbling, snarky, and vain.
After listening to Erya's arrangement and praise for her, the dog girl was both relaxed and happy. She smiled shyly, wanting to be modest but didn't know what to say, so she had to blush, lower her head and learn to make flowers with Erya.
Erya teaches some silk flowers that are very simple to make by twisting copper wires. It's very simple, and most people do. There are still many complicated and difficult things to do in the future life, and she will not be able to, so she can only let these ingenious girls slowly figure it out by themselves in the days to come. I think of a lot of complicated ways. Isn't it all figured out by someone else?!
There are five patterns in total, but there are more than a dozen of them. The flower species are divided into roses, peonies, camellias, chrysanthemums, and carnations; Each flower is divided into points; New branches sprout, buds are about to bloom, buds are blooming, flowers are blooming, etc.
Maybe there are some flowers they haven't seen before, but as long as they do what Erya does. Some small ones are equipped with hairpins, hair combs, and cow tendon ties, which can be used as headdresses. Some are made larger, with wicker woven into small flower baskets, which is a small scenery that decorates the space. Some can be made bigger and higher, and with a high-necked vase, you can make a scene for a shop that pays attention to it, increase the beauty and improve the grade.
Erya believes that as long as they use good materials, make good looks, realistic, and ensure quality, the market will definitely not be bad. At present, the silk flower is in the market, limited to the head flower, and the other demand market has not yet been developed, which can be regarded as an opportunity for Erya to enter the market, and also to give these girls a way to save money for dowry.
By the time the sun went down, they had already learned, but unfortunately, they were all quite ugly.
Erya was not in a hurry, but encouraged them: "What you did looks bad, but don't forget, this is the first time you are learning to do it, and it is quite good to be able to do it so well." In the past few days, you have been practicing every day, don't be afraid to waste that little bit of rag, and strive to do your best in the shortest possible time. The sooner you reach the standard of being able to sell, the sooner you can earn money and save a little more for your dowry. ”
The girls were all blushing when the lady of the proprietor talked about the dowry, but they all knew that what the lady of the proprietor said was reasonable, and no one let go of the work in their hands because of shyness, but instead threaded the needle more seriously, focusing on the flowers they were making.
After the eldest aunt and eldest cousin and sister-in-law had eaten, they followed the eldest aunt and the others to go back first, and when the second aunt left, she was the only one left.
When I got home, I found that my uncle and aunt had already left. So he asked Xiaohu, who arrived home first: "Xiaohu!" Uncle, why did they all go back? You didn't keep them here for two days? ”
Xiaohu didn't have long to get home, and said, "When I came back, my uncle and they were already gone. Now that we're done, there's a lot of work to do. My uncle's family seems to have ordered rape, and it is estimated that his family will be busy harvesting rape. ”
Erya thought about it, so she nodded and didn't say anything. Stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao Yueyue, who was listless because his uncle went to school, and coaxed him: "Yueyue, why are you unhappy?" ”
Xiao Yue pouted more and more. Asked his mother: "Why does my little uncle go to a distant place to study?" Why can't I study at home? I obviously promised to help us write Journey to the West! ”
"This one! Your little uncle has grown up, so of course you have to go to the place where the older children study! Didn't that Journey to the West say that it was okay for you and your brother to write it? How can I find a little uncle? That's not going to work! "Erya doesn't want children, and since she was a child, she has developed the bad habit of looking for a gunman for everything. lest you be used by others when you are clean, and you have to be grateful to people in turn. She can see a lot of things like this!
Xiao Yue Yue is small, but he has a strong comprehension ability, and he can immediately understand the meaning of his mother. The small face is flat. With a very serious attitude, he assured his mother: "Got it!" Mother. We don't ask my uncle to write it for us. We write it ourselves. ”
Erya touched the top of Wen Yue's head approvingly, "Hmm! My little Yue Yue is really an obedient and good boy, come. Incense one! The second girl kissed Xiao Yueyue, so he put him down to play by himself, got up and went to the kitchen to help the nurse bring out the food.
The dishes and chopsticks were all set, and Wen Chao shouted several times to come out to eat. They all just listen to the sound and no one comes out. Erya had no choice but to go into their room and call him, only to find that Wen Chao had almost finished writing the first part of Journey to the West, "The Monkey King was Born".
This kid may not be as smart as his uncle. But his kind of do-it-all temperament is a must-have for many successful people. This made Erya have a certain confidence in the future prospects of this son, and no longer worry that he will be a useless person who gnaws at his old book in the future.
Erya gently patted the back of her son's head and gently persuaded, "Son." Go eat first. It's too dark now, and writing hurts your eyes, so I'll write again tomorrow. That's so long. You can't finish writing all at once, don't be in a hurry and take your time! Ha! ”
"Good!" Wen Chao did feel a little unclear. I listened to my mother's words, put down the brush, stood up and followed my mother to the hall to eat.
After dinner, everyone washed up, and everyone went to sleep. Lying on the bed, Erya discussed with Xiaohu: "Today, I specially asked the big children who came back not to leave. Tomorrow I will go to my grandmother's house to ask, the girls in the north have a good object! I tried my best to solve their problems. The day after tomorrow, the two of us followed Xiao Wu and them into the mountains and began to teach them real special training programs. After getting their things done, I took Dahong and Xiangzi for a month to simply teach them to look at architectural drawings and run away from those suppliers of building materials. After that, we will have to go to the Northland with our men, and in any case, we will have to build the fur goods workshop and the sweater workshop there by the end of the year. I want Daman to go to the Northland to supervise the two workshops for a long time, and do the things of land reclamation by the way, do you think this arrangement is feasible? ”
Xiaohu was a little hesitant, "It's okay for you to arrange the rest, it's just that Brother Da Man is not very happy to be a manager, these things that make him feel very nerve-wracking, I'm afraid he won't be willing to go to the Northland!" ”
Erya explained: "I arranged for Daman to go over, and he didn't need to bother to do anything, he just sat there as the owner." I will try my best to pick a capable past. Daman is quite shrewd, as long as he doesn't get fooled. ”
In that case, maybe he'll be willing to go! I'll talk to him when I have time. ”
Erya: "Hmm! , and said: "You make it clear to him again, whether we open a shop or run a workshop, we always count their share." Although they have only been given dividends and have not been allowed to participate in management, it is not that they do not trust them, but they do not want too many people to mix in it and lead to chaos in management. On the contrary, it has affected the decision-making and progress of some things.
Therefore, you have to make him understand that he is not going to the Northland, not for us, but for himself, and that he is a part of it. Although he doesn't have as much of a share as we do, we still have a lot more and more important things to do than them, right? ”
Xiaohu responded: "Okay! I know how to tell him! Actually, Daman and Dahong really don't want to share anything with us, it's because women love to compare, so many things are born. However, what you did right, when you can't be poor, everyone suffers together, and when you get rich, you get rid of them, and this is not bearable in conscience. ”
"That's fine! You tell them that I am always too simple to talk to others, it is difficult for people to understand what I mean, and it often leads to unnecessary misunderstandings. ”
Xiaohu said with a strong sense of sleepiness: "Don't worry! I'll make your meaning clear, it's getting late, go to bed quickly! Don't you have such an important thing to do tomorrow?! ”
Erya was also very sleepy, so she didn't ramble anymore, turned over and lay flat on her side, closed her eyes and fell asleep soon. (To be continued).
