After two days, grandpa made a few bamboo mats out, although grandpa's hands are not very flexible, but the bamboo mats made are still very strong, all square, lack of creativity, it is difficult for grandpa to think about these things at this age. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I took a few bamboo mats to Aunt Li's house next door.

"Auntie, are you at home?"

"At home, Yun girl hurry in."

"Auntie, you feed the chickens!".

"Yes, your Uncle Li set two rabbits a few days ago, and took them to the market to exchange these eight chickens with people, and when the chickens grow up and have eggs, Aunt Li asked the hens to raise some chickens for you."

"Thank you, auntie." Now is not the time to be polite, the Yang family is so poor that there is almost no rice to cook, if you can raise a few chickens and have eggs by then, not to mention selling money, it is good to supplement some nutrition for your family.

"Auntie, Xiao Yun's grandfather made a few bamboo mats, which can be used on the tabletop, and send a few for you to use."

"You girl is so polite, this bamboo mat looks good, very strong, it's the first time I've seen someone use a bamboo mat to cushion the tabletop. It just so happens that there are a lot of hot stamps on the desktop at home, and if you use this bamboo mat earlier, the desktop will not lose paint. ”

"Auntie, haven't you seen this kind of bamboo mat before?" Yang Yun asked in surprise, what an unexpected gain.

"No, if you see it and use it early, where will it make the desktop black and painted. Besides, who in the countryside would think of using bamboo mats to pad the desktop, usually the hot plate and hot pot are directly served on the table, you see the people in the village, there are a lot of hot black marks on the table, and some of the desktops have fallen off the paint. ”

"Auntie, you see that if this bamboo mat is sold in the town, someone will ask for it."

"My aunt thinks that the peasant family may not be very particular, there are many rich families in this town, maybe they will use it, if no one wants it, they will keep it for their own use."

"That Xiaoyun asked grandpa to make a few more and take them to the town for trial sale, and there will be a big market in six days."

"Okay, let your grandfather make a few and try it."

"Thank you so much, that Xiao Yun went home first and asked grandpa to make bamboo mats." Yang Yun was so excited, it turned out that no one in this place had made this kind of bamboo mat, if he could make some money before winter came, the family would definitely not starve to death. This kind of bamboo mat itself has no technical content, others will see it, and it will be good to sell it for a month according to Yang Yun's expectations.

"You kid, let's thank you and your aunt, let's go back quickly." Auntie should thank you for sending a few bamboo mats. ”

"Auntie, don't thank you, Xiao Yun will go back first." After saying that, he ran home and quickly asked his grandfather to make a bamboo mat. Back at his home, my grandfather happened to be weaving mats in the yard.

"Grandpa, you can make more bamboo mats, Xiao Yun just sent a few to Aunt Li's house, and Aunt Li said that this can be sold for money."

"You kid also know what it means to sell for money, and when you go to the side, this thing is for your own use, how can you sell it for money."

"Grandpa, you just make a few more, there will be a big set in six days, let's try to sell it, and then you will go to the market to sell mats, let's sell it at the same time, if you can't sell it for our own use, grandpa, you can make a few to try, you can make more than ten bamboo mats when you make a mat."

"Old man, you can try a few, it's rare that a child wants to help the family make money at such a young age." Since Xiao Yun fell into the river last time, she has become more flexible after waking up, and she used to do things with her head bored and talked less. Just open your eyes and return us a different granddaughter. Where does Yang Yun know what grandma thinks in her heart, anyway, with grandma helping to intercede, grandpa will definitely agree.

"Hehe, grandma, you are so good, Aunt Li said that she also saw this kind of bamboo mat for the first time, and she didn't know that there was such a bamboo mat that could be used to pad the desktop, so Xiao Yun felt that someone should want it, we countrymen don't pay attention to this, but there are many big families in the town, and their furniture should be topped, if you use our bamboo mat to pad the desktop, the desktop will not fall off the paint." These are all things that Aunt Li just said. Yang Yun put the responsibility on Aunt Li, saving her grandfather the idea of wondering where it came from.

"Well, let's try a few, and if you can't sell them, give them away or use them for your own use." Grandpa still didn't believe he could sell it.

"Grandpa, can you make other shapes, you made all the square ones a few days ago, why don't you try to make a few round ones, you see that most of the pots and plates are round."

"Okay, give it a try."

After the grandfather finished weaving the bamboo mat in his hand, he began to cut the bamboo chips to make the mat. Many modern bamboo mats have many patterns, and there are colorful, if you find some flower juice bleaching color, the bamboo mat will look better, I am afraid that the color will fall after dyeing, alas! I don't study chemistry, or forget it, where do you know how to bleach and dye colors, if this bamboo mat Yang family can sell it for a month, it will be snickering, there is no technical content, others will look at it. It would be nice to be able to make some money to solve the food for the winter.

The family was busy for five days, and tomorrow was the big market, and Grandpa made fifty bamboo mats, ten squares, and forty rounds, and Grandpa was afraid that he would not be able to sell them, so he was not willing to make a few more.

"Grandpa, will Xiao Yun go to the market with you tomorrow?"

"It's too far away, you help your grandma with housework at home."

"Grandpa, it's only been an hour's journey, let Xiao Yun go, Xiao Yun hasn't seen the town market yet, and if you sell mats, Xiao Yun can still help you see things."

"Where do the children go to the market, there are many people and chaos, and when the time comes, the kidnappers will be abducted."

"Grandpa, Xiao Yun must follow you closely when you go to the market, and you will definitely not run around, grandpa, you will let Xiao Yun go, Xiao Yun can also help you sell things, grandma, you talk to grandpa, let Xiao Yun go together."

"Old man, let her go, our two old bones are always afraid that one day they will leave, the children are helpless and can't support the family, now that the children have grown up and want to help the family work and make money, let her go to the market to see, the children will become stronger with experience." Grandma secretly wiped her tears with her cuffs. Grandma is a very kind person, after experiencing the pain of losing a child, she loves these grandsons and granddaughters who are related by blood. Since I came to this world for so long, I have never seen my grandmother scold Yang Yun and Yang Xuan loudly, and she is soft-spoken to Yang Yun and Yang Xuan. Grandma turned her thoughts about her two sons into love for Yang Yun and Yang Xuan. I am very glad that I did not meet a patriarchal family.

Alas! I made my grandmother cry in order to go to the market, and suddenly I felt that there was a sour place in my heart, with a touch of bitterness, but also a trace of warmth. In such a poor family, there is such a person who loves and pities you. In ancient times, many poor families favored sons over daughters, and many times they sold girls for a few taels of silver, but when my grandmother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, she chose to sell her cousin Yang Yong to the Zhou landlord's house for three years, and she did not sell Yang Yun, a girl. For this unspeakable love, I vowed here to be strong, shelter my family from the wind and rain, so that my family will no longer be hungry and cold.

"Grandpa, let Xiao Yun go, Xiao Yun also wants to help the family work to make money, Xiao Yun is now grown up, and she also wants to take care of her grandparents, and Xiao Xuan, her cousin is not at home, Xiao Yun is now the eldest child in the family, and she should help her grandparents reduce their burden."

"Go ahead, don't run around then." Grandpa sighed.

"Grandpa, Xiao Yun must follow you closely and don't run around."

I got up at about six o'clock the next morning, and the time without the alarm clock was all guessing, the sky was just gray, there was a glimmer of light, and the sun did not come out. Grandpa picked a pair of bamboo baskets, which were full of erected mats, Yang Yun carried a bamboo basket, and put fifty bamboo mats behind it. Don't look at the only fifty, it's really not light, I don't know if this body can hold on to the market.

Grandma got up early in the morning to help us make breakfast, and the steamed black flour steamed buns were dry and hard, which was too grinding for our throats. Yang Xuan is still sleeping, Yang Xuan has been digging wild vegetables every day these days, digging a lot, and grandma has dried them all and stored them, and when there are no vegetables in winter, he can still hold on for a few days.

After having breakfast with my grandfather, I hurriedly set off, and when I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw that Uncle Wednesday was driving an ox cart, and there were several villagers sitting on the ox cart, and Uncle Wednesday had some relatives with the landlord of Zhou, so his family was also one of the four households with cattle in the village. Usually there is a market, and on Wednesday Uncle will drive an ox car to the people in the village to the market, and collect some copper plates as fares, two copper plates per person. Looking at Grandpa, he doesn't plan to ride an ox cart, and he doesn't have the money to ride. After thinking about it for a while, he trotted over and said to Uncle Wednesday, "Uncle Wednesday, can you let Xiao Yun and Grandpa take the ox cart, we don't have any money, but Xiao Yun can chop wood, Xiao Yun chops four bundles of firewood and changes the car with you?" ”

Uncle Wednesday thought for a while and agreed to Yang Yun's request, but the pair of bamboo baskets that Grandpa picked up asked for an extra two pennies, so Yang Yun wanted to cut six bundles of firewood to exchange with him. Uncle Wednesday agreed so readily because the farm is busy now, not many people go to the market, and there are still many places on the ox cart, so if you don't make money, you don't make money, and by the way, you take advantage of the fire to rob, and I don't know how my cousin is doing in Zhou's house, so I must find a chance to see him.
