Episode 52 Crutches
After lunch, Pei Yao rejected the godmother's idea of sending her home, so she asked the godmother to send it to the official road, and packed a basket of beans for herself to take back.
Pei Yao promised her godmother to wait for her godfather's leg to get better and she could go to the ground, so she would take her godmother to her house to have a look.
When Pei Yao and her godmother went out of the courtyard, they saw that there were still many people in the village in front of them probing their brains, many of them were young students, Pei Yao blushed and thought: "What have you seen and seen beautiful women!" ”
The two walked to the entrance of the village, passing by a courtyard in a situation similar to that of the godfather's house, and a grandmother at the door looked at Pei Yao and greeted her: "Sister of the Wu family, are you a guest at home?" ”
There is also a young descendant lying on the wall of the courtyard of this grandma's house, showing his nose and peeking in this way.
The godmother said: "Yes, this is our goddaughter, come to see her godfather, it's too late I have to send her back, talk back." ”
After a few simple words, the godmother took Pei Yao away, probably because she was afraid of her embarrassment and said: "That's Grandma Qian, it's okay to be a person, but it's a little chatty when you're older." “
Both of them tacitly did not talk about the peeping young offspring on the wall.
Finally persuaded the godmother not to send forward, Pei Yao walked alone on the official road, and did not enter the forest at the door of her house, but went to the town of Leanhe, although tomorrow is the big set, but the shops on the set are open every day.
Because I am ready to wear women's clothes in the future, I have to go to the market to buy a simple skirt, which is easy to wear when I usually go out to buy.
Walking through the market at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it was empty, different from the bustling scene when I came before.
Walking into the cloth village, I asked the shopkeeper for a set of plain coarse cloth skirts, and inquired with the shopkeeper about the carpenter's house in the river town, which was in the innermost yard of the drying field.
Pei Yao walked along a row of pavements and came to the courtyard of the carpenter's house, the courtyard door was not closed, and a carpenter of about 40 years inside was making a cabinet with a young descendant, and the door of the cabinet was being installed, and the wooden cabinet that had not yet been painted looked white.
Seeing her enter, the older man asked, "What does the little girl want to buy or do?" ”
"Can you make a pair of crutches?" Pei Yao asked.
"What?" The master carpenter asked, "What kind of crutch?" ”
Pei Yao squatted in front of him, took away a wooden plank, drew a simple diagram of a cane on the empty ground, and explained: "This is for people with broken legs, so that each arm can stand up and move without being supported." ”
Both the older and the younger carpenters watched curiously, and after listening to her explanation, they all thought about the effect of this crutch, and they all felt incredible.
Although in ancient times, some people had to go out with illness in order to live after breaking a bone, but it was also a simple stick to hold, just like the kind of cane used by the elderly, and it was very easy to fall. And more people are bedridden for several months or need to be supported by people with strength to get out of bed, and this kind of crutches are simple and convenient, and they are resolute and steady.
The master carpenter was very interested and said, "Little girl, how did you come up with the idea of doing this, this is a good idea, this is for the benefit of those who have bad legs and feet!" With this kind of crutches, you can get out of bed and walk out the door without any problem! The carpenter said excitedly: "A friend of mine, one leg has been broken for more than a year, and his daughter-in-law has run away, and it is difficult to go down to the ground to go to the thatched house, and she is about to die of humiliation!" "I suddenly thought that I was talking to a girl about what thatched houses are not thatched houses, and I was a little embarrassed.
Pei Yao understands that she can help the people she wants to help, she is extremely happy, she understands very well: "If you can't walk for a year, then the legs are almost like this, the thatched house is not good, put a wooden chair with a backrest in the thatched house, and dig a round hole in the center of the chair." ”
Pei Yao didn't have any embarrassed looks, after all, she is a modern person, and it is usually very difficult to blush with just a few words, not to mention the pleasure of helping others, she can help a person in difficulty with a word, she is nothing, and those who may be helped will be extremely grateful.
She firmly believes that good people are rewarded!
The master carpenter also listened carefully, and as soon as he heard her method, he immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, girl, I thank you for my friend, I have helped a lot, and now I can get out of the house, and I can't force a man to death." ”
Pei Yao smiled: "It's okay, I'll just say it in passing, I'm also very happy to be able to help your friend." After a pause, he continued: "Trouble master, do you have any peach branches to use as crutches, my father is old, and I want to make a pair of light ones for him." ”
The carpenter smiled: "It's still a filial girl, Uncle Xing, I will make you a good one, paint a good one." ”
"Okay, thank you master first, my father is about the same height as you, if you are afraid of it, make it longer, and when I take it back, I can change it a little shorter."
"Yes, you can rest assured that you will be satisfied." The master carpenter said heartily.
In the end, the master carpenter said that he didn't take Pei Yao's money, so he said that this method came out for the benefit, and said that the crutches were not troublesome and did not cost much, and he also thanked her for helping her friend with her idea, even if she said anything, she would not confiscate the money.
