Chapter 115 Learned to weave the willow frame

The courtyard of Zhang Damao's house is very wide, but it has been squeezed into the air.

From the east end to the west end of the courtyard, from the south end to the north end, there are strings of baskets, as well as bamboo baskets and baskets.

These baskets, bamboo baskets, and bamboo baskets were all driven out by women in nearby villages years ago in order to sell them at a good price in the spring. Zhang Damao has become a warehouse here.

Stacks of willow weaves filled the corners and corners of the yard, and there was no place to put your feet.

But Zhang Damao is very happy to use this place as a warehouse.

The first is that the house seems to be lively, and outsiders come in and sigh: "Uncle Mao, you can do it." It's almost time to catch up with the capitalists, how much should these bamboo baskets be sold for? ”

Whenever Zhang Damao hears the praise of others, his heart is happy.

Second, Wang Hailiang does not occupy his family's place in vain, and will give money. In addition, taking care of these goods, the position of warehouse keeper also fell on Zhang Damao, in addition to the income of the willow frame, there are two more salaries.

Wang Hailiang is taking care of him, finding him a job, and encouraging him to earn more money.

Hailiang felt that as long as Zhang Damao knew how to work and earn money, he would not mess around with those girls in the village.

After Xiaoyan walked into Zhang Damao's house, Zhang Damao was counting the number of baskets, writing them down with paper while checking, and he was very busy.

Xiao Yan said: "Ah, Uncle Mao, are you busy?" ”

Zhang Damao turned around and suddenly glanced at Xiao Yan, and he was overjoyed.

I heard that Zhang Ergou kidnapped a daughter-in-law from outside the mountain, she was very beautiful, and it was better to meet her when she saw it today.

Xiaoyan is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with a small round face, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, fair skin, and two dimples on her face with a smile.

Even Wang Hailiang's daughter-in-law Yuzhu is nothing more than that, the first time she saw Xiaoyan's smiling face, Zhang Damao was almost hooked down.

"Girl, are you ...... Two dogs' house? ”

Xiao Yan said: "Yes, Uncle Mao, hello." ”

Zhang Damao hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, girl, what's the matter with you?" ”

Xiao Yanwan smiled and said: "Uncle Mao, I just came to Pimple Slope, I can't do any work, I want to earn money to supplement the family, follow you to learn willow weaving, can you accept me as an apprentice?" ”

It turned out that Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law came to apprentice, and Zhang Damao smiled when he heard it.

"Of course you can, it's a good thing to be able to make money, I don't refuse to come here, as long as it's a person from Daliang Mountain, you can come."

Xiao Yan asked: "Uncle Mao, don't know the willow weaving technology...... Can you make money? ”

Zhang Damao hurriedly said: "Yes, a willow frame costs three yuan, a bamboo basket costs two and five, and a bamboo basket is two. ”

"Wow, you make so much money, then you can ...... Teach me? ”

Zhang Damao said: "Of course you can, but I can't give you the money you earn, you must give your mother-in-law with your own hands, Aunt Da Shu has explained, you are not allowed to touch the money." ”

Xiaoyan said: "No problem, give it to me, give it to my mother-in-law is the same, anyway, it's all family flowers, as long as you are willing to teach me, I will definitely learn from you." ”

Zhang Damao said: "Of course you can, you can come whenever you want." ”

Xiaoyan said: "Then can I learn now?" If you have time, you can teach me right away. ”

Of course, Zhang Damao is willing, teaching the flower girl to learn willow weaving techniques is his lifelong hobby. The ability of one body finally has a place to use.

Besides, it is not yet the fifteenth day of the first month, fifteen years ago, the year is not over, and Zhang Damao is idle.

Suddenly, a white little daughter-in-law asked him to study at close range, and he couldn't wait.

So Zhang Damao asked Xiao Yan to sit opposite him, grabbed the willow branch next to him, and taught Xiao Yan how to fold while slowly weaving.

A few soft willow branches, after Zhang Damao's hand fiddling, immediately became the prototype of the willow frame, and many patterns appeared on it.

Xiaoyan couldn't stop admiring, Zhang Damao deserves to be a woman fan, and people really have two times.

The girl followed Zhang Damao to learn willow weaving techniques in the yard, and Aunt Da Shuan dozed off outside the door.

This time, as before, she still followed Xiaoyan, afraid that her daughter-in-law would run away.

She couldn't understand why Xiaoyan wanted to learn willow weaving from Zhang Damao.

Learning willow weaving is a good thing, which shows that Xiaoyan has repented and plans to stay, otherwise she will not find a way to make money.

Aunt Da Xuan really thought that her daughter-in-law wanted to open and was ready to live a good life with Ergou, and her heart was also happy.

Xiao Yan and Zhang Damao inside are like a pair of chickens pecking rice, and their heads are messed up. Zhang Damao taught very seriously, and Xiaoyan studied very carefully.

In one morning, Xiaoyan learned everything and weaved a willow frame by herself, which was appreciated by Zhang Damao.

Soon, when it was time for lunch, Xiaoyan said, "Uncle, I'm leaving, I'll come back in the afternoon." ”

Zhang Damao said: "Okay, Yan'er, if you don't understand anything, just come and ask Uncle Da Mao for advice, Uncle must know everything and say everything." ”

Xiao Yan said: "Uncle Mao, you are so nice and enthusiastic. ”

Zhang Damao also said: "Yan'er, your understanding is really high, you are a smart girl." I'm rare. ”

In this way, Xiao Yan waved at Zhang Damao and left, and as soon as the girl left, the figure of Aunt Da Bolt flashed in.

Aunt Da Bolt has been lurking outside for a long time, dozing off, and her head almost hit the door. found Xiaoyan leaving, so she rushed into Zhang Damao's house.

Aunt Da Xuan asked straight to the point: "Zhang Damao! What is my Xiaoyan looking for you? ”

Zhang Damao was stunned: "Oh, sister-in-law, Xiaoyan asked me to learn willow weaving, your daughter-in-law is really perceptive, so smart, and she is a material that can be made." ”

Zhang Damao is telling the truth, Xiaoyan is really smart, and the girl is not only beautiful, but also ingenious.

Aunt Da Xuan didn't think so, when Zhang Damao was farting, she said angrily: "Zhang Damao, you don't pat fart!" Let me ask you, did Xiaoyan ask you to borrow money? ”

Zhang Damao smiled: "Of course not, it's just learning willow weaving, I can swear to God." ”

Aunt Da Shu was still not at ease: "Didn't ask anything else?" ”

"Nope."

"Okay, Zhang Damao, I'll tell you, Xiaoyan likes willow weaving, you just have to teach her, but you must not let her get money.

In the future, if she makes money from weaving willow frames with you, you have to give it to me in full, but you can't give it to her...... If my daughter-in-law runs away, our family won't be able to hold a grandson, so you can be my grandson! ”

Of course, Zhang Damao knew what Aunt Da Xuan was talking about, and his head couldn't help but mess up: "Okay, I'll help you watch her, right?" If she runs away from me, will she blame me? ”

Aunt Da Shu said, "It's pretty much it, dead ghost, I'm going home for dinner." ”

Zhang Damao took Aunt Da Xuan's hand and said, "Just eat here." ”

In fact, Zhang Damao and Aunt Da Shu are old friends, they had a leg when they were young, and Zhang Damao often dates Aunt Da Shu behind his daughter-in-law's back.

Aunt Da Shu also often has a private meeting with Zhang Da Mao on her back.

Recently, they have grown up and their children have grown up, so they have gradually broken off their relationship.

It's broken, but it's still broken. When you have nothing to do, you can't help but flatter each other, hook up with each other, and amuse each other.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was a brother-in-law and sister-in-law playing tricks, but on the inside, they were in love.

Aunt Da Xuan shook off Zhang Damao's hand and said, "Be careful of being seen by Da Bai Li, I'm leaving, Xiaoyan will leave you here in the future, you must help me take care of her." ”

Zhang Damao said: "Don't worry, if you explain it, I will definitely do it." ”

In this way, in the days to come, Xiaoyan really went to Zhang Damao's house to work and learn willow weaving techniques.

Because Aunt Da Bolt is good friends with Zhang Damao, she is very relieved and no longer follows her daughter-in-law all day long.

Xiao Yan is learning willow weaving on the surface, in order to earn money for her family, and in her heart she is still thinking about how to escape from the mountains.

Getting close to Zhang Damao is just her first step, the second step is to hook up, and the third step is to make Zhang Damao swoon and let him die for himself.

Xiaoyan feels that she has this charm and is very confident.

Xiaoyan is very good in Zhang Damao's house, the willow frame is fast and good, and soon, she became the champion of willow weaving.

Zhang Damao's family was crowded, and a large number of women were chattering.

When compiling the willow frame, the mouth can be chatted, and the sister-in-law makes some nondescript jokes with her younger siblings.

These old ladies are open-mouthed, their speech is vulgar, and they can't do without men.

They are all competing with each other, whose man is bigger, whose man is the most durable, and whose woman is the hardest working on the kang...... The woman of such and such a family steals men, the man of such and such a family is not serious, and has a leg with anyone's daughter-in-law, etc.

Then it was to get some vinegar, borrow some salt, Zhang's family, Li's family, and the laughter of the whole courtyard was enriched.

Xiaoyan is in the crowd, rarely accosting people, and the girl always purses her lips and smiles, and it is at this time that joy can be seen on her face.

For the first time, she felt that the people of Daliangshan were so kind, amiable, so simple and kind, and they were not as numb as she thought.

But her ambition still does not change, and she has to get out of Daliang Mountain. There is no love between her and Ergou, and she just wants to leave him.

The willow frames are knitted more and more, piled up like a mountain, and there are thousands of them. Before the end of the first month, the first batch of baskets will be on the market.

Soon, Wang Hailiang came to receive the goods, and the people of the transport team loaded a large number of baskets onto the car, and one after another wheelbarrows twisted along the mountain road and went straight to Heifengling, emptying the baskets of Zhang Damao's family.

Coming to the end of the mountain road in Heifengling, where the second wave of people were already waiting, the sling had been repaired.

All the baskets are swept by slings, because the road in front has not yet been repaired, the sound of people and horses, the stubbornness of the wheelbarrow, and the blasting of the road repair team not far away, the sound is in the ears, forming a beautiful rural picture.

The people of Daliangshan have fallen into the hard work since spring, and they have never been so happy and busy.

As long as there is a give, it will inevitably be rewarded.

The wheelbarrow is carried by a sling, and someone will take over again, passing through the valley of ghosts in front of it, and will also use the sling to swing over. One hundred and eighty miles of mountain road, just a little bit to the mountain pass.

The location of the mountain pass was already lined up with trucks, and those trucks had come to snap up the baskets and medicinal herbs of Daliang Mountain.

The goods were loaded and settled, and the people of Daliangshan got the first income in 84 years.
