Chapter 56: The First Spinning

At the insistence of his father and mother, Han Chuxue finally ate a luxurious breakfast - a bowl of egg custard.

The door couldn't get out, so she could only move a small bench to sit in the yard and bask in the sun, holding her chin to watch her mother spin the thread.

Looking at the big wheel snoring, the ball of hemp in my mother's hand will be drawn into a long strip, wrapped around the small wheel on the lower left, and finally wound into a dense and neat yarn spindle.

skillfully removed the winding yarn spindle, and seeing the little girl's shiny eyes, Xiuniang couldn't help laughing, "Erya, do you want to try it?" ”

Han Chuxue raised her head a little excitedly, "Mother, can I?" ”

To be honest, she hasn't seen this kind of handmade spinning wheel many times from TV, let alone hands-on operation, but with her current situation, these hemp can't be wasted at will, so although she has been itching and itching to try it, she doesn't dare to open this mouth, and she doesn't want Xiuniang to ask her.

Xiuniang smiled and nodded, "Of course you can, come and sit here." ”

Han Chuxue hurriedly moved the small bench over and sat in front of the position where Xiuniang got out of the way, that is, in front of the hand-spinning wheel.

At the suggestion of Xiuniang, she took the ball of hemp she picked up from the small dustpan on the ground.

"Don't hold it tightly, just hold it gently and don't fall off the ground."

Han Chuxue hurriedly relaxed the strength in his hand according to his words.

Sure that there was no problem, Xiuniang grabbed her other hand and put it on a small handle protruding from the big wheel, "Hold it here, first turn it slowly, and then gradually increase the speed." ”

Han Chuxue followed the words with great interest, watching the lump of hemp in his hand slowly pull out a thread, and he was happy, but the thread was broken.

The first battle was frustrated, and Han Chuxue was not depressed, "Mother, it's broken." ”

Xiuniang smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, it's good to connect it if it's broken." ”

While comforting the little girl, Xiuniang skillfully connected the broken thread again, "Try again." ”

Han Chuxue stabilized his mind and turned the big wheel again, this time the line was longer and longer, but ...... ran crookedly, and it didn't get entangled in that wheel at all.

Xiuniang smiled and re-pulled the thread and encouraged a certain baby again.

So with the encouragement of Xiuniang, it took an hour, a certain baby who broke the thread five or six or seven times, and ran crooked ten times, finally spun the mess into a thread, holding the criss-crossing and loose yarn ingot, she really wanted to cover her face and disappear, why was it so bad.

No matter what her results are, as a mother-in-law, Xiuniang will never hit her, "Our second girl is smart and can spin so much for the first time." ”

Han Chuxue, who knew what was going on, couldn't help but have a fever on his old face, "Mother, don't praise me, this thread is not good at all compared to your spinning." ”

Xiuniang took the yarn spindle in her hand and looked at it for a while, "Why can't you see anyone, whose girl's baby spun thread for the first time is not like this, and many people are not as good as our second girl." ”

The little girl is ten years old, and although the master who followed her before said that life was not sad, this girl should have never learned the same work, and if she didn't learn, how could she find her in-laws in the future.

Therefore, Xiuniang's teaching of chiffon yarn at the beginning of the cold this time was not a whim, nor was it to see that she was so idle that she was in a panic and deliberately found something for her to do, but had a foresight.

Just after finishing the vegetable field, the big girl came over with a wooden bucket, and Xiuniang had already told her about this worry yesterday, and now she naturally understood what she meant, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, little sister, when we first spinned the thread, it was much worse than yours." ”

Regardless of whether what they said was true or not, in short, a certain baby who had been enlightened felt much better, looking at the yarn spindle in her hand that was not very good, she still had a sense of accomplishment, this was the first time she had spun the thread by hand.

"Mother, I'll try again, this time it must be better than the last time."

"Okay." I was afraid that Xiuniang, who would not learn from her, would not say a word, so she quickly helped her adjust the spinning wheel.

The temporarily idle girl put down the barrel in her hand and stood aside to guide her.

Just when the mother and daughter were in harmony, someone came outside the door.

"Sister-in-law, is our brother at home?"

When Xiuniang saw someone coming, she hurriedly stood up, and walked over to open the courtyard door while taking off the cloth towel on her head and patting the hemp wool on her body, "Xiaoshan, why are you here?" ”

Han Chuxue stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look, the person who came was a man about the same age as Daddy Han, but his body was not as tall and mighty as Daddy Han, some short and capable, with dark skin, and when he heard Xiuniang's question, he rubbed his hands together while showing a reluctant smile that was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, that's the case, you also know our mother-in-law, last time Dazhu came to our house to borrow a bucket of rice, and that mother-in-law made a fuss today without knowing what, so she had to come to ......."

Speaking of the latter, he was finally a little embarrassed to say it, but the meaning he wanted to express was clear enough.

Han Chuxue raised his eyebrows clearly, this is to collect debts.

Xiuniang naturally understood, and with her temperament, she naturally didn't want to embarrass people, but now Dazhu and they haven't come back from the town, and they haven't returned the rice.

"Xiaoshan, what do you mean, sister-in-law understands, don't worry, the Dazhu brothers have already gone to town, and we will have rice to return to you by noon at the latest."

"That's a good idea." The man's smile finally loosened.

Hearing that he was willing to wait, Xiuniang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaoshan come in first and sit down, if Dazhu and they come back earlier, I can't say that you can bring the rice back directly, and it will save your daughter-in-law from asking about you." ”

"Okay, okay." The man nodded yes and walked in.

Seeing Han Chuxue, his smile added a little more, "Sister-in-law, this is your little girl with your brother?" ”

Speaking of the little girl Xiuniang who came home, she was happy in her heart, "Yes." Erya, this is your Uncle Xiaoshan. ”

After a quick search of his memory, there was no such name among his relatives, but he could borrow his own food, and he should be someone who was closer to his father and mother like Aunt Qin, so Han Chuxue called at him with a smile, "Uncle Xiaoshan is good." ”

"Okay, okay." Uncle Xiaoshan nodded with a smile and said to Xiuniang, "Sister-in-law, your little girl is really handsome, I heard that she came back from Longhu Mountain, is it true?" ”

Xiuniang nodded in response, and Xiaoshan immediately said with envy, "Then don't you have a little fairy girl in your family?" ”

Buddhism and Taoism prevailed in the Dachang Dynasty, Longhu Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, that is, the royal family and government often go to worship, in the eyes of the peasants at the bottom, the mountain is full of immortal-like characters, so it is customary to call the Taoist priest who cultivates in Longhu Mountain as the immortal, the female Taoist priest is the fairy girl, and the little girl like Han Chuxue naturally becomes the little fairy girl.
