Chapter 81: Into the City
The days that followed were very peaceful.
Wang Laozhuan and Lin Guizhi both stopped.
Lin Guizhi couldn't help Wang Laoshuan, and she couldn't lose her temper at home anymore, just like a cat with flowers, she didn't squat at home more and more, she threw all the housework at home to her three daughters to deal with, and ran out after eating, and got together with the seven aunts, gossiping, spreading gossip, and when the interest in talking came up, there was no trouble.
As for Wang Laozhuan, after he made a choice in his heart, he thought about how to make more money so that his son could live more comfortably in the county.
So I first went to the bamboo forest of Tutang Mountain to pick up the old bamboo, cut two and went home, after a few days, I saw that no one in the house said anything, so I boldly broke the bamboo thinly, cut it into a bamboo strip of about the same thickness one by one, and weaved the bamboo basket.
Wang Fang was quite interested in this, and when she had time, she sat next to Wang Lao Bolt every day and watched how Wang Lao Bolt made up.
Weaving bamboo was originally Wang Laoshuan's forte, all the baskets and baskets at home were made up by him, and he originally wanted to teach his son this, but Aiguo didn't like it, and he refused to pull him to learn, so he could only forget it.
Now I see that the fourth child is interested in this, although she is a little disgusted that she is a girl, but how to say it, this is also passing on this craft, so he seriously pointed out Wang Fang, and even slowed down the work in his hands, so that Wang Fang could understand.
And Wang Fang is indeed a little talented in this area, and can endure hardships, and after a few days, he will be able to take the thin bamboo strips and weave a small bamboo basket with a large bowl.
The bamboo basket was still a little crooked, but it wasn't round enough. The bottom is not stable, but it is very strong, and it does not fall off the ground. Le's Wang Lao couldn't close his mouth: Someone can pass on this craft!
Wang Xia was very envious of Wang Fang. But let her also learn to weave this, she doesn't like it, not to mention that when the bamboo is broken, a big hole will be accidentally pulled on the hand, and the blood will come straight out, that is, when weaving, if the bamboo strip is not cut well, it will leave burrs. It hurt so much that she couldn't learn at all.
Wang Fang can stick to it because she likes it, but she doesn't like it. I don't want to stick to it either.
Now Wang Fang wants to follow Wang Laozhuan to learn to weave bamboo baskets, so that the little sisters who always acted together in the past will naturally separate, and Wang Xia will suddenly be alone. She's not used to it.
Wang Li asked her, "Then do you want to learn something you like?" ”
Wang Xia nodded. But he frowned again and said, "I don't know what I like!" ”
When she said it, the expression on her face was very blank.
Wang Li understands her very well.
Not to mention a child like Ah Xia, even adults, few will learn what they like, Ah Fang can meet what she likes, it is her blessing that Ah Fang can meet what she likes.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Then think about it, in all the usual work." What's the least annoying thing you do? ”
Wang Xia's eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled on her face, and in the end. Only then did he hold his mouth and say, "Second sister, then I don't hate cooking with fire the most." ”
Wang Li raised her eyebrows, very surprised, ordinary children are forced to cook on the fire every day, shouldn't they all hate this thing? Why is Ah Xia the least annoying?
So he asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Wang Xia nodded vigorously and said: "Sure, second sister, I didn't like to cook on the fire, and when I finished cooking, I always had a strange smell, but when I thought about it, if I knew, I could cook what I liked and eat it myself, and I was happy, and," she looked at Wang Li tangled and said: "Mom's craftsmanship is really bad, second sister, you will get married in the future, if you change my mother to cook, I will not be able to eat enough every day, it is better for me to learn to cook what I want to eat." ”
Wang Li smiled, it turned out that this was a snack.
Since she said so, let's learn from her.
Girls, you can cook a good meal, and you don't have to worry about not eating well wherever you go.
In this way, the two little sisters gradually no longer stick together every day, and each has its own development.
Soon, it was the end of October.
The weather is getting cooler, and thick coats and other things have begun to be draped over their bodies.
Wang Laozhuan plans to go to the city in two days, one is to take the more than 30 baskets made during this period to the supply and marketing cooperative, and see if they can collect it? One is to sell the more than 100 eggs that the family has saved, buy some salt and kerosene by the way, and most importantly, to send living expenses to the country.
Although the patriotic Sunday holiday can come back, but this round trip has to walk for four hours, let him go back and forth that day, all the time is wasted on the road, not to mention, there is no time to rest, not to mention that when you go back to the county seat, you have to carry some rice grain back, which is even more tiring, where is it willing to be a parent.
In addition, Wang Laozhuan also wanted to see Wang Mei, in the end, she was the eldest daughter, she also grew up in pain, she had raised her for so many years, everything was up to her, and now she couldn't do anything for her, so she wanted to go and see what she still had shortcomings, so I could buy it for her and send it.
Wang Li felt that her father's and mother's loving heart was destined to not get a response, and last time she didn't go as Wang Mei intended and gave her a relationship, I was afraid that she had hated her parents, and now there is no news for another month, and I don't know what she will do.
She decided to go with her father.
One is that she wants to go to No. 1 Middle School to have a look, and the other is that she also wants to visit Uncle Li's house.
Zhong Zijing said in the letter that his family is a little related to Uncle Li's family, and Li Juan is also very good to her, she didn't be able to send her off when she was let go, this time I went to the county seat, and I had to go to Li's house to go to the county seat anyway.
So early in the morning, Wang Li steamed a pot of rice rakes, took a few bags and took them to eat on the road, and went into the city with her father.
Wang Laozhuan felt that it was unnecessary for Wang Li to follow.
"What are you going to do? It's a long way, and it's tiring to walk. ”
"Dad, you pick up so many things by yourself, I don't worry, I'll come along, so two people can share the burden, and you can be more relaxed." Wang Li carried more than a dozen dustpans on one end and three or four rice baskets on the other, following behind Wang Laozhuan, not saying that she actually wanted to go to No. 1 Middle School to have a look.
I never went to school in my previous life, and every time I sent my son to school. will be very envious, now she is nominally a student of No. 1 Middle School, of course she wants to see what the students are like in class. It's good to make up for the regrets of two lifetimes.
Wang Laozhuan listened to Wang Li's words, and he didn't say anything, but his heart was still sweet.
Although he felt that he was a strong laborer, and such a little thing was not worth anything, but his daughter would worry about him. He was still very happy.
He chatted with his daughter: "Hey, Ali, I don't know. Supply and marketing cooperatives do not accept these baskets. If we don't accept this, we'll have to pick it up again. ”
Wang Li thought about it, and she didn't remember what happened to the supply and marketing cooperatives in her previous life, so she really didn't accept it. It's going to be like a way. Let's see if you want it somewhere else, otherwise, won't his father's efforts be in vain? Maybe I don't want to do this again in the future, but I threw Ah Fang halfway.
She said, "Dad, everyone should use these things, you see, if our family doesn't make it up ourselves." Why don't you want to go to town to buy it? If the supply and marketing cooperatives don't want it, we will have to pass through a lot of houses when we come back. I went to ask, but if someone wanted it, maybe they would be all asked for before they ran a few houses? ”
Wang Laozhuan nodded when he heard this, and said proudly: "That is, if I don't know how to make it up, how much money will it cost to buy it at home, this thing, after a few years, will break if you don't pay attention to it." ”
So I don't have to worry about bringing things back with me as they are.
When they arrived at the county seat, the two of them went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative, fortunately, today it was very smooth, not only the eggs were sold, but even the dustpan rice basket sieve was sold, and the people of the supply and marketing cooperatives also said, there will be another in the future, and they will also sell it, they have recently collected a large number of this, and the king of the music does not know the southeast and northwest, and made up his mind, returned home, and continued to cut bamboo and weave baskets.
"Hehe, I know that these things can be sold, look, they can be sold for so much money, which is a lot more than your mother raising chickens and laying eggs!"
Wang Lao said proudly to Wang Li.
Wang Li laughed, Dad was ruthless, so he deliberately said: "Dad, you are so good, the money that Mom earns is not a lot of capital, you have no capital." ”
reminded her father again: "This bamboo is all public property, if we cut it back and make bamboo poles for our own use, others will not say anything, but if we make something up and sell it, it will be criticized, right?" ”
Wang Laozhuan thought that this was indeed the case, so he hesitated and said, "Or, I secretly made it up?" Remembering that there was almost nothing in the house that could be hidden, he was frustrated: "The big guys know that I made this up." ”
Wang Li thought for a while and said, "Didn't the supply and marketing cooperatives say that they have collected a lot of this recently?" You talk to the branch secretary, and you just hear the people from the supply and marketing cooperatives say this, and you ask him if you can organize someone in the house to make up things to sell, and when the time comes, you will divide the money according to everyone's efforts. ”
Wang Laoshui's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he nodded again and again, thinking that his daughter's idea was really good, his craftsmanship was the first in the house, and he would definitely share the most when the time came, so he had money and no trouble, it was really good, so he waved his hand: "I didn't tear the cloth for you to make new clothes last year, today you go and see if you like it, Dad will buy it for you!" ”
In the end, she was not willing to spend her father's hard-earned money, Wang Li walked around the supply and marketing cooperative, but she didn't see any fabrics, so she could only give up and follow Wang Laozhuan to No. 1 Middle School.
Wang Laozhuan was still a pity: "Why can't you look down on it?" I think the big red cloth with a little flower is very good-looking, why can't you look at it? ”
The two men went to the middle school.
It takes seven or eight minutes to walk from the supply and marketing cooperatives to No. 1 Middle School, and a construction road has to be crossed in the middle, and the state-owned hotel is open on the construction road.
While walking, Wang Laozhuan looked at the sign of the state-run hotel and asked Wang Li: "Ali, the state-owned restaurant sells meat buns to eat, as well as tofu brains, do you want to buy some and try it?" ”
Wang Li looked at her father, nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, let's buy some tofu brain, I want to eat this, and bring some more to the country, I brought a porcelain jar, which can be taken away in the porcelain jar." ”
Wang Laozhuan nodded with a smile and said, "Buy a few more meat buns, bring two for your sister, and bring two for your mother." ”
The two of them walked into the state-run hotel, and were about to find the salesman to buy meat buns and tofu brains, when they saw the woman sitting against the wall turn her head and look at them in surprise, that person was Wang Mei. (To be continued......)
