Chapter 6 Jingfu leaves home, and Zhenniang makes a living

There was no word all night.

The next morning, Zhenniang woke up early, listened to the familiar sound of the water cypress in the city gate, and knew that the water in the tiger stove was about to boil, so she got up and got dressed, and went to fetch hot water again.

It is customary to wash on the edge of the big vat at the kitchen door, and then carry the big copper kettle, thinking, and go to the grandparents next door, ready to carry their copper kettle to fetch hot water together.

didn't think about it, as soon as I passed, I saw my father kneeling at the door of the house: "Dad, mother, I'm leaving." ”

"You go, don't come back if you can't make a scene." The door of the house was closed, and after a cough in the room, the hoarse voice of Old Man Li came out.

"Yes, I see." Li Jingfu responded, and after speaking, he carried the package on his back, opened the yard and strode away.

When Li Jingfu left, the door of the house here opened, and Grandma Li Wu helped Old Man Li to stand at the door, and Wu's mouth was even more nagging: "You dead old man, Jingfu is also this age, why do you bother to drive him out and find something to do in the local area?" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Old Man Li coughed, Wu hurriedly patted his vest, and after a while, Old Man Li gasped for breath before saying: "It's not what you're used to, in the local area, his reputation has long been rotten, what else can he find to do, if he doesn't do anything again, his life will be over." ”

Old Man Li said, coughing again.

"Then you can't say, 'don't come back if you don't break through', it's good at home, it's difficult to go out, how many people go out to do business in Huizhou every year, but how many people break out of a look, aren't you cutting off his retreat?" Wu complained.

"Long hair and short knowledge, you know what, I just want to cut off his back road, he has been mixed up for all these years, his ambition has long been exhausted, if he is not forced to a dead end, how can he cheer up?" Old Man Li said anxiously, and when he spoke quickly, he coughed again.

"Okay, okay, the spring cold dew is heavy, let's go back to the house, take care of our body, our two coffin boards are used as money for the return of the bride to the bride, now you have to have a good one, so I can't help but roll the mat and throw it outside the city to feed the wild dogs." Wu sighed.

"As far as you talk a lot, let me tell you, don't shout about this." Old Man Li had a straight face.

"Tsk, I know, I know." Wu waved his hand, and then muttered: "You are also a smart person, and you are confused for a while, do you think that others will not know about this matter if you don't say it?" Jingfu's daughter-in-law is not stupid, what do we have of value, she is like a mirror in her heart, except for the two coffin boards, what else? ”

"You ......" Old man Li was in a hurry, and this old woman loved to carry it with him.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, let's go back to the house." Wu saw that he was out of breath again, and hurriedly touched his back and helped him back to the house.

In this case, Zhen Niang didn't want to disturb it, retreated, went out with a copper kettle, thinking about the coffin board in the mouth of the old couple, her eyes were a little moist, and her heart was moved sour, in short, this time for the Tian family's retreat, she owed a lot of affection.

When I got out of the courtyard gate, I followed the flow of people towards the tiger stove, but I didn't expect to see my mother-in-law Zhao standing under the eaves on the side. His eyes were looking at the city gate in the distance.

"Sister-in-law Jingfu, I just saw your Jingfu going out with a package on his back, where are you going?" Passing by, there was a greeting question.

"It doesn't matter where he goes, it's better to die outside." Zhao came back to his senses, but he said indignantly.

Zhen Niang curled the corners of her mouth, her mother is hard-mouthed, didn't she see her eyes red?

Zhao went back to the house.

Zhenniang went to the tiger stove, as always, to help Shui Bo do some work, but she was thinking in her heart, because of the Tian family, the family is changing bit by bit, and people's hearts are also condensed. It's just that now the old and young in the family are sick, and their livelihood is difficult, and Zhenniang is thinking about what to get to subsidize the family.

"Zhen Niang, Zhen Niang ......" At this time, at the door of the tiger stove, a girl jumped up and down with a bundle of straw in her hand and called her.

"Yuejuan." Zhen Niang patted the ash on her hand and ran over, but was pulled aside by the girl named Yuejuan, this Sun Yuejuan is the original best friend, that is, the daughter of the Sun family who originally lived next door, although the Sun family moved away, but Sun Yuejuan often came to play with her, she wore this time, Sun Yuejuan helped her get familiar with a lot of situations.

"I brought the straw, you can teach me to weave that thermos bucket." Sun Yuejuan said.

In the previous life, when Li Zhen went to the countryside to travel, he looked at some villagers' homes, and made a large bucket of straw densely woven into a large bucket, and some were woven into a pot-like shape, and the unfinished rice was put in the steel pot, and then the steel pot was placed in the insulation barrel made of straw, which could keep warm and was very original ecological flavor.

Moreover, in order to engage in tourism, those fellows can take the straw weaving art to the extreme, those straw weaving things are very artistic, and then paint them, all of them look good.

And in this era, because there is no hot water bottle like in later generations, Zhen Niang saw that the hot water from the morning was about to cool down after a while, so she made one, and then wrapped a layer of old cotton wool outside, so that the hot water in the morning was still very hot at night.

Sun Yuejuan came to play with her a few days ago, and when she saw this, she felt that haode was very good, so she said that she would go and get some straw and let Zhenniang teach her.

"Well, go to my house." Zhen Niang nodded, then went back to the tiger stove, carrying a copper kettle full of hot water, and took Sun Yuejuan home with her.

Zhen Niang also has an idea, she can sell this thermos bucket, this thing almost does not cost anything except for a little straw, but it is a lot more convenient for family daily use.

Of course, this thing actually can't make a lot of money, and the housewives of this era, they are all diligent and thrifty, this thing doesn't have any jishu content, as long as you see it, you can learn it.

However, how many can be sold is a few, and mosquito legs are also meat.

Of course, in Zhen Niang's heart, what she wants most is to make ink, after all, she is a descendant of the Li family in modern times, and it is not bad to make ink with one hand, but now Mr. Li is quite delicate in this industry, plus in this era, it is not easy for a woman to enter the ink-making industry, she has to think about it carefully.

After a while, the two arrived at Li's house.

Seeing Zhen Niang bring Sun Yuejuan in, Xi Ge'er, who was washing on the edge of the vat, rushed over in two steps, raised his eyes, and looked at the corners of the two of them with a sly look.

"See what?" Zhenniang slapped him on the back of the head.

"Let's see if any of you steal it." Brother Xi pouted.

Zhen Niang couldn't help but be happy, this is the problem of the predecessor, delicious, and a little bit of brain melon seeds, I can often get some food, but I often secretly go home after eating outside, and I was caught by Brother Xi a few times, this kid is fine, every time Zhen Niang comes back from outside, he secretly checks.

"Stinky boy, what's wrong." Zhenniang laughed and scolded. Then he blinked: "If you are obedient and help the second sister do things, the second sister will buy you scallion pancakes." ”

If you want to send him, you have to give him some sweetness.

"Seriously." Xi Ge'er's eyes lit up.

Zhenniang looked at the washing in the yard, the work of the work, and the family who slipped the bend, and said: "There are grandparents, mothers, brothers and sisters-in-law to testify." ”

"Okay, tell me what?" Brother Xi is energetic.

"Follow." Zhen Niang waved her hand.

The three of them went to a corner of the courtyard, carried a small pony and sat down, and Sun Yuejuan spread out the straw.
