"Big Brother ......"

"You don't agree?" Xu Wenda raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Wenyuan seriously.

Xu Wenyuan actually wanted to refuse, but thinking that his eldest brother had told him about such an important matter, he couldn't say anything about that refusal at the moment, and thought about it again, anyway, there was still a year left, and there was still room for it, so he nodded, "Okay." I agreed. ”

Xu Wenda nodded with satisfaction, "I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law to find the girls in Yuzhou who have not decided to get married, and I will definitely pick a daughter-in-law who satisfies you." ”

Seeing Xu Wenda standing up and leaving as he spoke, Xu Wenyuan was stunned, "Big brother, don't be in such a hurry." ”

Xu Wenda ignored Xu Wenyuan's wail, "Hurry, why not hurry." There is another thing, I have to warn you, what I just told you, you will rot in your stomach, if you accidentally tell your sister-in-law, I want you to look good. ”

Xu Wenyuan nodded impatiently, knowing that he was not the kind of person who chewed the root of his tongue and kept instructing, "I know, I know, I won't tell anyone." ”

Tong Xue was very surprised when she heard the news, and couldn't help but grab Xu Wenda's arm and ask, "Wenyuan really agreed?" Agree to say pro? I heard you right. ”

When Xu Wenda saw Tong Xue's expression, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and looked at Tong Xue very happily, "He agreed." ”

Tong Xue's eyes widened, her dark eyes were like two round grapes, and they were shining like stars, her eyes were full of curiosity, and Xu Wenda only felt that her heart was like a feather scraped, turbulent, and a little itchy.

Tong Xue tightly grabbed Xu Wenda's sleeve and stared at Xu Wenda motionless, "What did you tell him?" ”

Xu Wenda covered his mouth and coughed twice, of course he couldn't tell the truth, so he waved his hand, "This doesn't matter, didn't you invite those ladies to the banquet once last time, if you can, please invite it again, and also inquire with these ladies to see if there are any suitable people for Wenyuan among the daughters and sisters of their family." ”

Tong Xue suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders was a little heavy, and she didn't know what to look for Xu Wenyuan, "You don't need to pay too much attention to your family background, the most important thing is that you have a good temperament, Wenyuan likes it." ”

Tong Xue thought about what he knew about Xu Wenyuan, "Wenyuan's temperament, I haven't seen him take a few more glances at any girl, and I don't know what he likes." When I was in Qingshan Village before, like Wen Yuan's age, even if he didn't get married, it was settled, and when it came to girls, it was very exciting. ”

Xu Wenyuan is already ten years old, like his age, many people in Qingshan Village have already become relatives, those who are not married talk to the girl and daughter-in-law, and sometimes blush, Tong Xue occasionally heard them sitting together in the field discussing which girl is good-looking and which girl is very capable.

Tong Xue felt that this state should be the state that Xu Wenyuan should have at this youthful age, but Xu Wenyuan was not like this at all, "But Wenyuan, I haven't seen anyone he mention." This kid is a bit widowed. ”

Tong Xue felt in her heart that although a long time had passed, but when everyone in Qingshan Village excluded the Xu family, these children were afraid that they had not forgotten it, so they all looked relatively unsmiling outside.

Of course, among them, Xu Wenda and Xu Wenyuan are the two brothers, Tong Xue thought about his father-in-law's temperament, and according to his own understanding of him, he said, "But maybe, I have a lot of attention in my heart." Like you, no one can see what you think in your heart. ”

"So we're brothers." Xu Wenda nodded, Xu Wenyuan's temperament was not like this when he was a child, and then he slowly grew like this, Xu Wenda leaned over with Tong Xue's words, and said very affectionately, "But then again, what is in the husband's heart, the lady should be very clear." ”

Tong Xue was cleaning up the things in the room, and when she heard Xu Wenda say this, she couldn't help but glare at Xu Wenda with disgust, of course, this glance was completely flattering in Xu Wenda's eyes, "Put away all the dirty thoughts in your head." ”

Xu Wenda laughed a few times, and then walked up to Tong Xue, "I just want to think about what to eat tonight, the lady said, why is it dirty." ”

Hearing Xu Wenda say this, Tong Xue's bulging cheeks bulged, of course, he wasn't really angry, he just felt that Xu Wenda was a scoundrel, Xu Wenda poked Tong Xue's bulging cheeks, as if he was poking something interesting, very serious, so that Tong Xue broke the work in an instant.

Seeing Tong Xue sneering and laughing, Xu Wenda said, "As the saying goes, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, Mrs. always thinks that my thoughts are dirty, do you say this is my husband's problem, or my lady's problem." ”

Tong Xue shook Xu Wenda's hand away, she decided to give up chatting with this person, "Go away, I can't talk to you, I won't rap with you." ”

In the north, after the winter solstice, begin to count nine, all say that counting nine cold days, is the coldest time of the year, especially from 19 to 49, in the south there will be no such cold and freezing trouble, in fact, the coldest days are basically concentrated in this short period of time.

The new clothes Xu Wan made for the whole family are already on her body, not as thick as the ones she wore in the north, but they are also stuffed with cotton, which looks a lot lighter and thinner, which is more suitable for the south.

Xu Wenzhao was used to spending the winter in the house in the north, and he couldn't get used to the cold here for a while, so he kept rubbing his hands and ears as soon as he came back, "It's so cold." ”

Looking at Xu Wenzhao, who had been covering his mouth and steaming at his hands, Tong Xue couldn't help but ask, "Wenzhao, is it cold in your school?" ”

Xu Wenzhao nodded, in the end, he still didn't adapt to the climate here, the tip of his nose was frozen red, Tong Xue got closer and saw that the fingertips were also red, and he knew that it was too cold to freeze.

Although the coldest temperature here is above zero, their hands are exposed all day in the school, unlike them who can still bake a fire in the kitchen.

Xu Wenzhao took his hand away and said, and then quickly put his hand to his mouth, "It's cold, there is no charcoal basin in the school, and there is no fire, we can't hold the pen tightly in it." Because I was new, I sat at the door, and the wind blew in, but it was cold. ”

The seats are next to the door, so it's no wonder it's cold like this.

Seeing this, Tong Xue frowned, Xu Wenzhao said very considerately, "But everyone is like this, it's just a little colder, not so strict, sister-in-law, I have a serious handwriting, I'm not very powerful." ”

Tong Xue touched Xu Wenzhao's head and said with a smile, "Learning must be persistent, Wenzhao is too powerful." ”

Holding Xu Wenzhao's two hands in the palm of her hand, Tong Xue felt that she was holding two cold little fists, and after a long while, Tong Xue felt that the temperature of her hands had become lower, so she warmed up her two little hands, "It's just that my sister-in-law is fine these days, you are so powerful, I will reward you with a pair of gloves, so that you will not be cold with it." ”

Xu Wenzhao refused with a sad face, he also thought of such a method at the beginning, but found that it didn't work at all, "No, you can't write if you wear gloves." ”

Tong Xue patted Xu Wenzhao's shoulder and said with relief, "Sister-in-law will make you someone who can write." ”

When Xu Wenzhao heard this, he was immediately happy, his eyes blinked and looked at Tong Xue, full of expectation, "Really? ”

Tong Xue nodded, "Really." ”

Tong Xue and Xu Wenzhao's words, Xu Wan also heard it, and when she heard Tong Xue's words, she was also very curious, and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, what kind of gloves you said can write?" ”

Yan Niang has given Xu Wan a holiday these days, saying that it is winter, and it is too cold to go to her to learn the piano, so it is better to make the dowry that has not been done before at home, Tong Xue and Xu Wan both think it is okay, so they have been staying at home.

Tong Xue thought about the thinner woolen gloves she had used before, "Let's just make five fingers out." ”

Xu Wan looked at Tong Xue in a daze, "Huh? It's that simple? ”

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wan jokingly, in fact, many things are just so simple, sometimes she just doesn't think about it, "Otherwise?" But you can't use the cotton in it, the cotton is too bulky, and the action is not as good as the thumb and palm. ”

Xu Wan frowned slightly, feeling that it was hard to imagine what the gloves Tong Xue wanted to make looked like, "But if you don't have cotton, where can you keep warm?" ”

Tong Xue said happily, "Why not, let's rub some wool and weave it with that later, it's warm and beautiful." ”

In fact, there are some rabbit fur at home, there are fewer larger animals in the south, and even the wool is not easy to find, but there are hares, Tong Xue sometimes sees it and buys it, and thinks in his heart, if it is too cold in winter, he will make snow boots to wear, and sew it directly with the fur of the rabbit, and the fur is one, it must be very warm.

But this winter is coming, it doesn't seem to be very useful, Tong Xue forgot about it, until a few days ago, because it has been raining, Xu Wenda's shoes are often wet, and there is no kang here, and it is not so fast to dry the shoes, Tong Xue remembered the fur she had saved before.

It happened that Xu Wenzhao said cold again today, and then he remembered this.

Wool is not a difficult thing, but it is more time-consuming, from wool into threads, this is a big project, but if it is just gloves, it will be a lot faster.

In fact, Tong Xue doesn't know how to use spinning wheels, she knows nothing about these relatively ancient things, and she has always been a giant in theory and a dwarf in action.

So after telling Xu Wan what to do, she could only do it on the side.

Facts have proved that Xu Wan is indeed ingenious in this kind of thing, and quickly mastered the essentials, and in one afternoon, she spun a ball of thread.

Xu Wan looked at the thread in front of her with some sadness, "Sister-in-law, I don't think this thread will be too strong." ”

Tong Xue thought for a while and said, "I want to use a hammer to close another strand, and it will be strong when it is kneaded into three strands, and when the threads are synthesized, I will teach you how to knit wool gloves." ”

After Xu Wan experienced a series of things, she had a slight suspicion about Tong Xue, "Sister-in-law, are you sure you know, isn't it not very clear, I can only point out on the side, I can do this spinning and kneading, but I really can't knit gloves." ”

Tong Xue listened to Xu Wan's words and was a little embarrassed, "Don't worry, I really know how to do this sister-in-law, and I'm still a master." ”

This is also due to the fact that there was a period of time, I don't know why, there was a sudden trend of knitting sweaters for boyfriends, Tong Xue's female classmates, ten miles with boyfriends, at least eight of them have knitted scarves for their subjects.

The witty Tong Xue quickly seized the business opportunity from inside, and sold the wool to Tong Xue from the outside, this really can't blame Tong Xue for being too greedy, mainly for life, she is an orphan with no father and mother, of course she has to worry about her own life.

As a person who earns the difference in the middle, the main thing is to be more convenient for classmates, better after-sales service, of course, it is a one-stop package for Baojiao, for which Tong Xue also specially went to learn a variety of weaving methods, quite a year, she is also a master of any flower can be knitted.

It's a pity that it was a long time ago, after a long time, many tricks Tong Xue has forgotten, but the most basic weaving method, Tong Xue still remembers, knitting a pair of gloves, is completely a small case.

With the wool, Tong Xue instructed Xu Wenyuan to get her two sharpened bamboos with grinding skin, and Xu Wan was even more confused, "Sister-in-law, are you chopsticks, why are they so long?" And it's too thin, this one can't hold things. ”

"Have you ever seen anyone with chopsticks that look like this?" Tong Xue had a black line, but looking at Xu Wan's confused look, she explained, "This is not chopsticks, you will know later." ”

Then Xu Wan saw Tong Xue use the two things like chopsticks to put the thread on it and wrap it, she didn't understand what was going on, and after a while, the half-fingered glove was formed.

Looking at Xu Wan's slightly open mouth, Tong Xue still has a sense of accomplishment, she finally has something that can make people jaw-dropping when she is a female worker, especially seeing Xu Wan like this, Tong Xue said that she was very satisfied.

A glove is actually very fast to weave, especially a small hand like Xu Wenzhao, but the glove is too small, the needles made of bamboo are too thick, and the fingers are really difficult to get out, Tong Xue can only make a glove that only reaches the palm of the hand, and the finger parts are still together, but they can be opened when writing, and they can be put on when walking on the road, which is convenient and warm.

When Xu Wan saw the finished product, her eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, you are too powerful, who will dare to say that you are not talented in female workers in the future, I am the first to refuse, you have to teach me this." (To be continued.) )
