Chapter 5 No More Rain in Our House

When he woke up the next day, the rain had stopped, but the ground on the mountain was still wet, so Jin Wuzhu changed into his old shoes and picked up the basket to go to the peach tree. He glanced at his sister, who was still sleeping, and prepared to go out.

"Brother, where are you going?" Zhou Yu woke up and saw his brother walking out with a basket.

"I'm going to pick peaches."

"I'll go too, brother, I'll lead the way."

"But it's wet on the mountain, and your new shoes will get dirty."

"I'm wearing old shoes, you wait for me." After speaking, Zhou Yu put on his shoes and came out with a swish.

Zhou Yu seemed to be familiar with this place, and after a while, he accurately brought Jin Wuzhu under the peach tree.

"Wow, that's a lot of peaches!" Seeing the peach golden vulture full of trees, he was surprised and delighted, and his eyes were wide open.

Jin Wuzhu carried the basket on his back like a schoolbag, climbed to the tree, picked half a basket and then took out the peaches and went up the tree, and then picked half a basket and put on the front one, and the basket was full.

"Brother, let's carry it!" Zhou Yu looked at this basket full of peaches and said.

"It's hard to walk with you on your shoulders." Jin Wuzhu hung the basket around his neck, and then held it with both hands, and went on the road.

"Then brother, you can weave a basket for me next time! I'm going to carry peaches too. Zhou Yu said seriously.

"Okay, will you make up a little one next time?"

"Okay." Zhou Yu jumped up and down with joy.

Finally walked to the street, Jin Wuzhu hurriedly went to buy buns to eat first, and couldn't starve his sister. They came to the snack street, where there was a lot of food, and the brother and sister swallowed their saliva and went straight to the bun shop.

"Boss, four buns."

"Okay, yo, little brother, how do you sell these peaches?" The boss suddenly saw that the peaches on their backs were fresh.

"Boss, a dime."

"Oh, then you can give me ten peaches for a bun! Everyone in my family loves to eat fruit. ”

"Thank you so much boss, I'll give you eleven." Jin Wuzhu said as he counted out eleven peaches to the boss.

"The little brother is so bold! From then on, as long as you have peaches, I will ask for ten a day! ”

"Okay, thank you boss!" Jin Wuzhu laughed so hard that his eyes were about to narrow.

"Thank you boss!" My sister followed my brother and said sweetly.

After thanking the boss, they went to the vegetable market free trade zone, where they could sell for a day as long as they paid a five-dime management fee.

"Buy peaches, freshly picked peaches, a dime a dime." In order to sell it out quickly, Jin Wuzhu learned from other vendors to shout. Every time he shouted, his sister repeated the same thing.

After selling it three times, it was a little late, and it was estimated that it was impossible to run again, so Jin Wuzhu went to pull some kudzu vines and made a basket for Zhou Yu.

After a few days, the tree also sold out of peaches. Jin Wuzhu took his sister to the hardware store.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

"We're going to buy a knife." Jin Wuzhu replied to his sister.

"Little brother buys a knife, please here." The owner's ears are really good.

Jin Wuzhu took a fancy to a smaller knife and tried the edge of the knife with his hand, which was quite sharp.

"The little master has good eyesight, this is a rigid knife with good rigidity and toughness, and this round chisel, you see it is also very good" The boss picked up a round chisel next to him and handed it to Jin Wuzhu.

"Boss, how much do these two cost?"

"I'll sell sixty of them, see if you know the goods, fifty-five taels for you."

Jin Wuzhu only has sixty-eight yuan in his pocket, and he doesn't know when he will be able to make money next, and he is very hesitant to ensure that his sister has buns to eat.

"The boss is good, can you have less?" Jin Wuzhu pleaded with the boss.

"The boss is good, can you have less?" My sister said in her brother's tone.

"Well, don't make a penny, fifty for you." Although he didn't make any money, the boss gave him a pair of gloves when he left, and there are still many good people on the third earth.

Jin Wuzhu, who got the tools, was so happy, he was like two treasures, and he relied on them to make his sister live better.

There were also eighteen yuan, and he took his sister to buy a few catties of glutinous rice and a few taels of salt, as well as a lighter.

Jin Wuzhu, who returned home, first soaked some rice with his sister's rice bowl, and then took the tools to the bamboo forest, he chose a straight one-year bamboo and began to chop, the knife is sharp, but unfortunately he still has no strength, after all, it is only a ten-year-old child, he took a lot of effort to cut down a bamboo, the momentum of the high bamboo when it fell down shocked Zhou Yu next to her, she felt that her brother was really great.

"Brother, what am I doing?"

"You pile up the bamboo branches I cut off!" Jin Wuzhu saw that his sister wanted to participate, so he assigned her to work.

After cutting two bamboos, it was too late, so Jin Wuzhu dragged the bamboo to the floor in front of the house, cut a section of bamboo from the root of the bamboo, chiseled a hole in it with a round chisel, and then stuffed the soaked rice into the hole, added some salt, and finally poured some water into it.

There was some firewood in the kitchen that had been piled up for an unknown amount of time, so Jin Wuzhu brought a few stones to build it, put the bamboo tube on it, and started to cook the rice.

"Brother, are we going to cook food?"

"Yes."

"How can my brother cook?"

"I used to see my master when I was at my master's house, but I don't guarantee that I will succeed once."

"There's nothing my brother can't do." Zhou Yu said firmly.

Jin Wuzhu sat on the ground and lit the fire, and Zhou Yu sat on a chair staring at the bamboo tube.

"It's smoking, brother, it's smoking."

"Well, that's the water is boiling, and we're going to change the fire now."

After waiting patiently, both siblings smelled the scent.

Jin Wuzhu put on gloves, took down the bamboo tube, first split the knots at both ends with a knife, and then put the bamboo tube in the bowl and broke it with his hands. He picked up half of it and gave it to his sister.

"It smells so good!" Zhou Yu said while eating.

"Well, when we have money in the future, we will buy some meat and put it inside, it will be more fragrant."

The next day, he got up and continued to cut bamboo, and after three days of hard work, Jin Wuzhu finally cut down more than a dozen bamboos. He picked two bamboos that were slightly higher than the house, and used a round chisel to cut holes in the symmetrical places on the two bamboos, and then installed short sharpened bamboo strips in the holes, and a bamboo ladder was ready. He put the ladder on the wall and tried it, and it was fine.

He went up to the roof, first laid the straw on the roof, and then came down to get the bamboo branches, he took a handful of the bamboo branches that his sister had brought over, and with the other hand he carried the bamboo branches to the roof and spread them on the straw.

"Brother, you have to be careful!" When Zhou Yu couldn't see his brother below, he ran to the house and said to the above.

"I will." Jin Wuzhu thought, of course I have to be careful, I can't afford to hurt it, who will take care of my little angel if I hurt it!

Another two days passed, and the good news was that the roof was finally repaired. What worries Jin Wuzhu is that there will be no rice tomorrow, and there are only three yuan left to buy steamed buns. What to do? I can't let my sister go hungry!

"Why is my brother upset?" Zhou Yu saw his brother squatting by the stream unhappily and came over to ask him.

"I'm not upset, I'm just thinking about how to earn buns for my sister."

"My brother's bamboo rice is delicious, can we sell it?" In my sister's eyes, bamboo rice is a better thing than peaches, so it can be sold like peaches.

"My sister is so smart, why didn't I think of it?" Jin Wuzhu patted his head and said.

"Brother, don't beat yourself, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, good sister, we don't sell bamboo rice, okay?"

"Good!"

Jin Wuzhu began to make bamboo tubes, some made a hole in the knot, some made a larger opening in the bamboo piece, and some split it from the middle. When he made more than a dozen bamboo tubes, Jin Wuzhu took his sister to the vegetable market to sell them. One yuan, although they only sold eight, the two of them were very happy, and bought a few catties of rice back.

With Mijin Wuzhu, there was time to try to make other things, this time he began to use a knife to split the slivers, trying to make bamboo baskets, but he did not learn from the master for a long time, the craft is not perfect, the first time it took a day to make one, and it was very rough, he was very dissatisfied. Zhou Yu liked it a lot, and happily looked left and right happily with the basket, not believing that it was the cylinder bamboo that changed.

"Would you like to give this basket to you?" Seeing that Zhou Yu still liked the work he was not satisfied with, Jin Wuzhu finally felt some comfort.

"Great, thank you, brother!"

In the next two days he made three more, and although one was better than the other, it was still not very good-looking, and he took the basket to the market with trepidation. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the three baskets to be sold out, the more beautiful ones were sold for eight yuan, and the less good ones were bought for six yuan.

In fact, it is not surprising that the third earth has high requirements for environmental protection, plastic products are very strictly controlled, and people buy things by themselves to carry a basket, so the demand for baskets is larger.

Jin Wuzhu took the money and went to the hardware store again, this time he wanted to buy a degree of tooth, to make the basket look better, the tooth of the strip polished and smooth is indispensable. Fortunately, the boss only charged him ten yuan.

On the way back, it was overcast and it was going to rain, Jin Wuzhu pulled up his sister and ran up, they had no umbrella and no clothes to change, but they couldn't let her sister get drenched.

Fortunately, after arriving home, it rained heavily, Jin Wuzhu walked around the house, looked at the heavy rain outside, and was pleased to find that the house was not leaking, and Zhou Yu also found out.

"Brother, it's not raining in our house!"

"Yes, not anymore." Jin Wuzhu took his sister's hands, and the two of them jumped and jumped on the dry straw, celebrating that they finally had a place to really shelter from the wind and rain.
