The others were so sad by her that they couldn't answer, and they all walked away quickly. Only two or three bold ones were left, and they happily said that the fruit was blessed. When the sixth grandmother also left in a hurry, Grandma Ping looked at Guoguo helplessly: "Why do you scare her!" ”

"Grandma Ping, the gentleman in the school said that he doesn't do bad things in his life, and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The sixth grandmother knew that she had said the wrong thing, so I'm sorry! "People don't deceive me, I don't deceive others. Guoguo had already guessed that these scars would be talked about, so he didn't take it seriously.

Guoguo washed his clothes and went back, turned over the honeysuckle again, and after a while, three layers were dry.

Qingshu came over with great insight to help Guoguo dry his clothes.

"Eh, I'm tired of washing clothes, if there is a washboard, rub it and rub it, save time and effort." Guoguo tossed all morning today, and her ten-year-old little body was tired.

"Washboard? What is it? Fang Yuqian was sitting in front of the door, looking at the melons and vegetables in the yard, thinking about what to plant. This piece of land was opened after moving in, and everyone sent some melon seedlings over, planted them for a month, and began to bloom.

"Huh? What I saw in a book was a board with grooves cut out in the middle, which was convenient for washing clothes! Guoguo also suddenly became interested, "Dad, I'll draw it for you." As she spoke, she picked up a stick and drew it in the hallway.

The Fang family's house was built in a hurry, and there was no money to pave the ground, so the ground was compacted soil, which was very convenient for Guoguo to paint.

"It's as simple as that? Is it easy to use? "Although Guoguo's painting is a bit nondescript, Fang Yuqian is a carpenter after all, so it is clear at a glance.

"Dad, do we still have wood in our house? Whether it's good or not, make one and try it out! The book says it's called a washboard, but it's easy to use. Guoguo was ashamed to move.

"Eh, the wood is there, but this ditch has to be polished. If you don't polish it well, you will break the clothes! Your dad doesn't have any tools right now! Fang Yuqian said. Fang Yuqian's carpenter's tools were also burned, and he still has no money to buy them.

"Dad, how much silver do you need to buy a set of tools?" Guoguo asked, tilting her head.

"In the past, your father's set cost three taels of silver." Fang Yuqian smiled bitterly, "Guoguo, wait for Dad's fish basket to catch the big fish, then buy tools and make them for Guoguo." ”

"Dad, can we do it little by little? Where did you buy it? "You can't become fat in one bite!

"Go to the blacksmith's shop, these things are all tools of iron. If you make a washboard, you already have an axe at home, and there is a lack of rulers, ink fountains, chisels, and planers. Speaking of the old bank, Fang Yuqian was also interested, "These things are all big and small, don't look at it simple, but it's famous!" ”

"Oh." Guoguo was a little disappointed. "So where is our wood? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Soaking you in the pond, how can you see it." Fang Yu Qian said happily, "Our family still has twenty acres of mountainous land!" There is a puddle under the mountain, and I usually soak in wood, and I need to use wood and transport it to the town. ”

Guoguo nodded as if she didn't understand, she seemed to remember that the lower end of the telephone pole was charcoal, and she seemed to have seen the method of soaking wood in the water in a vague way. But now, what attracts her more is the twenty acres of mountainous land.

"We still have land?! Didn't you say it was sold out? Guoguo's eyes widened.

"That's our ancestral mountain, that's all there is left." Cao'er gave her a blank look. The so-called ancestral mountain is the family's mausoleum.

But despite this, Guoguo still sighed: "Sister, let's go over and have a look in the afternoon!" ”

"I'm not going, I'll still embroider these handkerchiefs!" Cao'er didn't raise her head, "You let Qingshu accompany you." ”

"Dad, is our family's wood also from our mountain?" Guoguo asked Fang Yu Qian again.

"Silly boy, where does you get so much wood from your own mountain? It was cut in the barren mountains, and many of the mountains are still from the imperial court, and no one has bought them yet! Those mountains can be used for hunting and chopping wood. Fang Yuqian said dotingly, "Guoguo wants to go to the mountains to play?" ”

"Well, I'd like to go see the wood." To be more precise, she wanted to see how much property the Fang family still had, and whether it was worth it for her to buy a set of carpenter's tools.

"Eat first, rest for lunch and then go." Liang greeted the kitchen door, and everyone went to the kitchen to bring the food to the corridor to eat. The corridor is cool, and the farmers are not so particular.

Guoguo said while eating: "Mother, why don't we go find some fruit trees and plant them in the yard!" "The bare farm yard is very unaccustomed.

"Okay, eat first, you can toss like this." Liang sandwiched a piece of chicken into the fruit bowl.

I haven't eaten meat for two months! In Guoguo's eyes, this chicken is as precious as Tang monk meat. She also sandwiched chicken for everyone: "We will eat Brother Shi's first, and when we have money in the future, we will buy a lot of chicken and give it back to him!" Guoguo said proudly.

"Haha, when you have money, you won't be uncommon with this chicken." Qingshu seemed to have forgotten about the snakeskin and snake oil, and relaxed again.

After lunch, Guoguo slept for a while, and felt that it was still early, so he had to take Qingshu to his own mountain to shake around. To her surprise, the puddle had dried up, revealing the blackened wood inside. But the ground in the puddle clearly showed the wetness underneath.

Guoguo stood in and grabbed a handful of mud, the layer on top of the mud was already dry and white and brittle, but when he grabbed it, it was less than a centimeter thick and wet.

"Aoki, the sun is so big these days, right?" Guoguo asked suspiciously, such a big sun should have dried into a thick clay long ago, right?

"It's the sun, what's wrong?" Aoki didn't see anything.

Gogo looked up at the movements of the mountains around her, and a bold guess came to her mind, and of course, it was only a reality.

Guoguo also found a star fruit tree on the mountain, and she happily climbed up, picked the largest one, wiped it on her clothes, and then spit it out: "Ah, it's sour!" ”

Qingshu looked at her amusefully under the tree: "Just you cow!" How are you wilder than in town? Is it your turn to eat this fruit if it is not sour? Hurry down! ”

Guoguo thought for a moment, and said unconvinced on the tree: "It's really my turn to eat." You pick it up below, and I'll pick it up and bring it back. ”

"What are you bringing back for? It's so sour, no one eats it. I found out the other day. "Qingshu is not very interested.

"I have a way." Guoguo thought of the sour taste when he came to Nanning, Guangxi, and this star fruit, after the skillful hands of Guangxi people, was delicious. At that time, she also asked the tour guide in detail how to do it!

Qingshu couldn't do it, so he had to pick up the fruit obediently. However, soon, his pockets could not fit: "Enough, Guoguo, I can't take it." ”

Guoguo looked down at the tree, hehe, happy: "You take off your clothes and tie a knot at the neckline, it's a big cloth bag!" ”

Qingshu simply sat down: "If you grind again, we won't have enough time to go to the town to pull it later!" ”

When Guoguo heard this, he climbed down like a squirrel.
