"My father never brought it to me, if only I could be the fifth uncle's child." Shen Wei sighed faintly and said, that little appearance was very complaining.

Shen Lan couldn't help but smile when she saw it: "You little conscienceless, I have to sue my father when I go home." ”

"Oh, good big sister, don't tell your father, what if your father doesn't want me." Shen Wei was suddenly anxious.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to be our child? Isn't it good that your father doesn't want you? Go to your aunt's house and live, call your fifth uncle your father, and call me my mother. The fifth aunt also joked.

"That's not good, my mother definitely doesn't agree." Shen Wei hurriedly emphasized.

"Your father agrees, just give you Sister Ling as a companion." The fifth aunt made persistent efforts.

"Big sister, tell the fifth aunt quickly, I can't be the fifth aunt's child, my mother will definitely not agree." Shen Wei had no choice but to pull her eldest sister and ask her eldest sister to help her.

"What, I just want to be your fifth uncle's child, I don't want to be my fifth aunt's child, what's wrong with my fifth aunt?" Hearing this, the fifth aunt pretended to be displeased and asked.

Shen Wei smiled, then closed her little mouth and didn't answer, but turned to her sister and said, "Big sister, we've been sitting for a while, I'll accompany you to go around again." ”

Shen Lan also wanted to find the well as soon as possible, and then change the water, so she took the opportunity to say: "Okay, people have been lying for several days, and this body is lying moldy, fifth aunt, let's go around again." ”

"Sit down for a while, your sister Ling went to her grandmother's house today, Zhiyuan went to the school again, I am alone at home and panicked, you sisters accompany me to nag again." The fifth aunt said, but Shen Lan had already stood up, and Shen Wei immediately went to move the stool at this moment, very attentive.

"No, it's good for my body to walk more, Aunt Five, you're busy with you." Shen Lan shook her head, and then Shen Wei ran out and said politely to the fifth aunt: "Fifth aunt, let's go, when Sister Ling comes back, you have to ask her to go and play with me." ”

"Okay, I know, you're afraid that I'll really keep you as a daughter, little elf." The fifth aunt waved her hand and motioned for Shen Wei to leave quickly.

Shen Lan smiled and took Shen Wei to turn around and leave, and when she was far away, she asked in a low voice, "Don't you like the fifth uncle very much, why don't you treat the fifth aunt as a daughter?" ”

Shen Wei immediately made a bitter face, and then said very reluctantly: "Don't look at the fifth aunt smiling now, she is fierce, if Sister Ling is greedy and forgets the time, she will be whipped by the fifth aunt with a bamboo stick when she goes home, and she will be punished for kneeling after smoking, so I don't want to be her daughter." ”

Hearing this, Shen Lan smiled and shook her head, it turned out that this girl was afraid of being beaten, but she didn't expect the fifth aunt to look soft and weak, and she was so strict with the child.

"Wei Niang, where does our family usually go to fetch water to eat?" Shen Lan asked suddenly.

"What? What are you going to do at the well? My mother said that she was not allowed to go to the well to play, and if she fell, it would be over. Shen Wei said.

"Stupid, that's you, can I fall into the well when I'm so old? I just want to go and see it, so I can help my father and mother carry water and work in the future. Shen Lan gently knocked Shen Wei on the forehead.

"Big sister, why are you beating me, it hurts." Shen Wei rubbed her forehead and complained.

"Who made you so stupid, I'll help you open your mind." Shen Lan replied confidently.

"You're just a bully, bad sister." Shen Wei complained, but still walked towards the well with Shen Lan.

After a while, the two sisters arrived at the well, which was dug under a stone wall, and the stone wall was covered with spotted thatch, so the well could be said to be hidden, and the well was not deep, and the bottom could almost be seen at a glance, and the well water was clear and translucent, and even the small shrimp swimming in the water were clearly visible.

"Wei Niang, what do you see there?" Shen Lan suddenly pointed towards the road she had come from.

Shen Wei turned around and looked towards the road she came from, only to see something flashing in the sun on the road, so she immediately became interested and hurriedly ran there.

And Shen Lan took the opportunity to collect the well water into the space, and quickly poured seawater into the well, this time back and forth was extremely fast, and when Shen Wei picked up the glittering smooth stone and turned around to show Shen Lan, Shen Lan had already done a good job of stealing the day, and was standing in the previous position looking at Shen Wei with a smile.

"Sister, it's a pebble, so smooth and beautiful." Shen Wei took the stone in her hand, raised her hand high, and shook it towards her sister from a distance.

The stone naturally did not appear for no reason, but Shen Lan took the time to enter the space in advance, especially on the beach for a long time, before choosing a particularly beautiful pebble, and then hid it on her body, just when she followed Shen Wei over, she deliberately took a step behind, and then secretly threw the stone to the ground, just waiting for Shen Wei to find and pick it up.

"Oh, it's so pretty." Shen Lan slowly walked towards Shen Wei, came to Shen Wei and carefully looked at the beautiful pebble, pretended to be surprised, and then touched Shen Wei's head and said, "When I catch the market next time, my sister will buy you a five-color thread to tie a line, and put this stone in your neck for you." ”

This pebble material is smooth and bright red like blood, only the size of a coin, and there are some impurities in the stone, inlaid in the stone not only does not destroy the beauty of the stone itself, just added a bit of enchantment, looks very beautiful, is used to make ornaments are not inferior.

"Really? Can this be worn as a necklace around the neck? Shen Wei asked excitedly.

"Of course you can, but you have to hide it, don't let people find out, there are people coming and going here, maybe someone dropped it, if you show it everywhere, maybe people will come and go back, don't cry when the time comes." Shen Lan took the opportunity to warn,

After all, although Shen Wei picked up a beautiful pebble, it was a bit strange to pick it up here, and if people knew something, she might think of something, so she had to get vaccinated first.

"Ah, isn't that why you can't wear it?" Shen Wei frowned and said, the little girl at this time is the most pretty, and she is not only a little disappointed and sad when she sees such a beautiful pebble that cannot be used as jewelry.

Shen Lan smiled and said, "If someone asks, you say that you found it in the canal, so that people won't come to ask you." ”

"That's right, big sister is so smart, I will never sue others for picking it up by the well, and you don't sue others." Shen Wei nodded vigorously.

"Okay, let's go back, I don't know if Dad and they have chopped the bamboo well." Shen Lan finished the matter, and she had no interest in continuing to walk, after walking for so long, she was already a little unbearable, and the tip of her nose was slightly oozing sweat.

"Okay, let's go home." Shen Wei carefully grabbed the pebbles into the palm of her hand and happily jumped in front of her in the direction of her home.

Back to the Shen family, Shen Xiaoquan and Zhao Guixiang have already dealt with the branches and leaves of the bamboo, are splitting the bamboo, ready to cut the bamboo into thin bamboo pieces for weaving, the Shen family mainly weaves some baskets, baskets, dustpans, baskets and baskets and other things, different objects need different thickness and width of the bamboo pieces, you need to use a knife to slowly chop, such a job Shen Mei is already competent, Shen Mei sat at the door, tied a shabby apron on her chest, holding a split bamboo in one hand, and a scorn knife in the other hand to meticulously chop small pieces there.

Shen Lian put the chopped bamboo pieces in different categories, Shen Hailing picked up the useless bamboo branches and leaves together and spread them on the drying field to dry, and dragged a bundle of firewood out, lit a fire to put some discarded and split in half bamboo tips in the fire to roast, and when the green gradually turned yellow, dragged out of the fire, and then twisted with both hands, the two halves of the bamboo were twisted together and bent down, making the handle part of the bamboo basket.

For Shen Lan, these traditional bamboo weaving skills are still very novel, after all, she has never seen them with her own eyes since she was a child, so she watched the Shen family work with interest for a while, and Shen Wei ran over to help Shen Hailing clean up those abandoned branches and leaves.

"Eldest sister, I'm back, I'm tired, hurry up and go into the house to rest for a while." Shen Lian finished packing up a pile of bamboo chips, and ran to Shen Lan with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll watch it here for a while, and let my father teach me later, and I can make a basket or something in the future." Shen Lan replied with a smile, watching the Shen family make bamboo, she is very rare, if she learns it, she can make something in the future, maybe she can make money.

"Hehe, the eldest sister used to be the best at making these things besides the eldest brother, but now she still needs to be taught by her father." Shen Lian joked with a smile that the Shen family does not have a saying that the craft is passed on to men and not to women, so the children of the Shen family will make bamboo utensils more or less.

Speaking of which, the reason why Song Wenxiang's family sought Shen Lan was also because Shen Lan had such a craft, and it was always a good thing to know how to do it in this era, and he could make some extra money when he was slack, but the Song family did not have a bamboo garden, so there were no raw materials, so Shen Lan's craft was put aside.

Besides, Song Wenxiang is tall and has the skills of hunting and making leathers, and he can also go to the mountains to hunt and maintain the family's expenses on weekdays, so there is no need for Shen Lan to do these laborious things, no matter what, this bamboo is very hurtful, Shen Mei is not very old, and the hands are already a little rough, but the farmer's daughter does not require Qianqian jade fingers, but the rougher the hands, the more rare it is, the rough hands show that she is a capable girl in her mother's family, and the girl can marry home to live a good life. Otherwise, if you marry a lazy mother-in-law and come back, you will not have to lose your home.

Listening to Shen Lian's words, Shen Lan looked embarrassed, it turned out that the original owner could still make bamboo, but unfortunately she herself couldn't do it at all, but fortunately, the Shen family thought that she had lost her memory, so it should be normal for her not to know how to make bamboo.

"You dead child, your eldest sister hit her head, you don't remember anything, you are embarrassed to make fun of your eldest sister, don't help your eldest sister quickly
