As soon as I went out, I saw Ah Zhong and his wife who were busy in the yard, they were feeding sheep and horses, and Uncle Ah Zhong's straw, leaves, and forage in the backyard came in handy at this time.

Ah Zhong patted the bantam horse's neck very fondly, and muttered to himself: "Man, I have wronged you, I will talk to our young lady today and go buy you some concentrate feed." ”

Jing Xiaotian suddenly thought at this time: "It turns out that these domestic animals also need to be raised with capital, and the sheep are better to say, and the horses have to be carefully fed." It turned out that there was no money, and he couldn't afford to ride a horse. ”

Jing Xiaotian lowered his head a little disappointed, looked at the sandbag in his hand, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This thing is too exquisite!" ”

Actually bent on the situation, embroidered with a variety of good-looking patterns, four sandbags, is actually four pictures, respectively, the flowers are rich, magpie plum, carp playing, autumn chrysanthemum frost.

Jing Xiaotian cherished the sandbag in his hand, and suddenly realized that the things made by his mother, if not the best, must be a high-quality product, belonging to the high and high grade, and it is a waste to sell it on the market stall!

The value of an object lies in its craftsmanship, not in its use!

For example, the sandbag made by his mother can really be used as a handicraft, Jing Xiaotian was stupid for a while, and just like that, he stood in front of the door in a daze, motionless.

Sister-in-law Ah Zhong saw it at a glance, hurriedly ran over, and said softly: "My little ancestor, standing on the cold ground this morning, how can I do it, hurry back to the house, sit on the kang to warm up, and breakfast will be good soon!" I'll fetch hot water and wait for you to wash your face. ”

As he spoke, he pushed Jing Xiaotian into the house.

At this time, Lin Zhi had already gotten up, and Jing Xiaotian said considerately: "Mother, you slept so late last night, just rest for a while, what are you doing so early, it's strangely cold." ”

"My good daughter, it's really caring, but my mother has slept enough and can't lie down." As he spoke, he had already gone down to the ground.

"Mother, your sandbag is so good, it's like a work of art." Jing Xiaotian raised the sandbag in his hand and praised.

"Like what?" Lin Zhi asked with a smile on his face, it is always a happy thing to be praised, although Lin Zhi didn't understand a word.

"It's so beautiful that people can't bear to use it, they just want to put it there and enjoy it!" Jing Xiaotian explained.

"Look at what you kid said, sandbags are just for play, but they are just made carefully because they want to give them away."

At this time, Ah Zhong's sister-in-law came in with a curtain in her hand, holding warm water in her hand, waiting for their mother and daughter to wash their faces.

Lin Zhi took the hand towel, washed it by himself, and instructed: "Sister-in-law Zhong, you are also sorry for your hard work, don't wait for us to wash our faces in the future, when we are in the courtyard of the Jing family, we all do these things by ourselves." ”

Sister-in-law Ah Zhong said, "Isn't this going back to my parents' house?" As long as I follow Miss, I am happy, I feel that there is hope in life, these are what I am willing to do, and besides, the days are rushing, where will I feel tired! ”

After breakfast, the sky was already bright, Jing Xiaotian pressed the soil in the gourds on the windowsill, felt that the moisture was very sufficient, so he looked for Ah Zhong Niangniang, to ask for the fishing nets that she got from the market yesterday, she also wanted to try to make some handicrafts, to exchange some money, to beg for a living.

Sister-in-law Ah Zhong brought the fishing net to Jing Xiaotian, but she couldn't guess what she wanted to do.

I saw Jing Xiaotian, with the scissors in his hand, cut off the lead sinkers falling from the fishing net one by one, and pushed away the dilapidated fishing net and said: "Throw this away, it's useless." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked into the stove, took a potato and cut it with a knife, put it away steadily, separated the scissors in his hand, and pierced the tip of a scissor on the potato.

Jing Xiaotian looked at it carefully, smiled with satisfaction, and then started digging on the potatoes.

At this time, Ah Zhong walked in and saw Jing Xiaotian holding scissors against half a potato, and immediately snatched the scissors from her hand, and said: "Sister Jing, let it go, I'll come, what do you want to do, just tell me, what should I do if I hurt my hand with a pair of scissors?" ”

Jing Xiaotian enjoyed Uncle Zhong's care so carefully, so he let go of his hand and said, "I want to dig a mold like a copper coin on the potato." ”

"Okay." Ah Zhong agreed, and in a blink of an eye, the potato mold was ready.

"Uncle Zhong, your hands are so skillful." Jing Xiaotian is always praising people, because praise is always very useful, and she has figured out this way to boost the spirit of her family.

Ah Zhong was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I can work as a carpenter." Just tell me what you want to do, and I'll do my best. ”

"Okay, Uncle Chung, I want to turn this plumb into a sinker and pour it into a potato mold to make a lead lump." Jing Xiaotian is happy to command.

Ah Zhong looked at the lead sinkers at Jing Xiaotian's feet, and then understood her purpose in picking up the rotten fish nets.

After pondering for a moment, Ah Zhong walked out of the room, and in a short time brought a thick iron spoon with rust stains, and the interface between the spoon head and the wooden handle was already tattered and unusable.

Ah Zhong put a lead sinker in an iron spoon, clamped it with tongs, and placed it on the burning fire.

Jing Xiaotian hurriedly probed and stared at the iron spoon in the stove and the lead sinker in the spoon, it seemed that after a long time, the lead sinker still did not change at all.

Jing Xiaotian frowned, wondering if he had made a mistake, and hurriedly found a pu fan and shook it against the fire.

At this moment, Jing Xiaotian saw the lead sinker in the iron spoon, and with a bang, it melted, and the crystal clean lead water flashed in the firelight.

Jing Xiaotian grinned happily, put down the fan, gestured and inserted a small stick into the center of the potato mold, and shouted: "Uncle, pour this lead water into the mold, be careful not to touch the stick." ”

Jing Xiaotian's happy appearance made Ah Zhong laugh too: "What is this, there is also a clear eye." ”

His subordinates were not at all ambiguous, and carefully poured the lead into the mold.

With a "snort", a stream of water vapor rushed up from the potato mold, and Jing Xiaotian was a little nervous at the change in the lead water, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Seeing that the lead water had solidified and turned into a silvery white and shiny lead lump, Jing Xiaotian waited patiently for a while for the sake of prudence, and then tentatively picked up the potato mold and gently shook the thin stick in the middle of the mold.

Ah Zhong was so anxious that he shouted next to him: "You let it go, I'll come." Be careful, don't burn! ”

Jing Xiaotian ignored Ah Zhong, and suddenly pulled out the thin stick, and a shiny, round lump of lead appeared in front of him.
