16. You can't make a small shovel
Zhao Shen echoed: "Yes, how can a family who loves a girl be willing to marry her." ”
Aunt Zhang was so excited that she slapped her leg with her hand and said, "Yes, that's the reason." But this marriage is not easy to withdraw. The marriage is withdrawn, and his family is looking for a daughter-in-law. ”
"If you don't retreat, I'm afraid you'll be scolded by others."
"If you can marry a daughter-in-law by scolding twice, you would rather be scolded, I see! That family loves her daughter, and this marriage is withdrawn. ”
Zhao Shen also tightened his eyebrows and analyzed: "It's good for the Shi family if you don't withdraw from this marriage, it's not good for that girl, it's good for the girl to quit, but it's not good for the Shi family." There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. ”
"It's good to be good at this, and it's the best of both worlds." Aunt Zhang raised her voice and disagreed with Zhao Shen's words, "Actually, I think so!" It's good that this parent has retired, and he doesn't have to drag down other people's daughters. There's no way around it. Aunt Zhang stood there helplessly, and then showed a hateful expression, "This flower master ......"
After a pause before the words continued, Aunt Zhang glanced around, saw that there was no one around, and leaned over and said mysteriously: "This flower master, I heard that he married eight concubines with a violent temperament, and one of them was robbed by a farmer's house, the woman was chaste, she refused to obey, and she died not long after entering the door, and she was not the first. Aunt Zhang stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of Zhao Shen, making a "stained" sound in her mouth.
Zhao Shen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked stupidly: "No one reported to the official." ”
"Look at what you said, if your concubine is dead, how can the government take care of it, besides, this old man's brother-in-law is a county magistrate in a neighboring county, and he has to be appreciated by the county order. As long as Master Hua kills people blatantly, how can the government care. Aunt Zhang said nonchalantly, "The Ruyi restaurant opened by Master Hua, you know, is the big restaurant in Liuhuai Lane." Last year, he opened a snack restaurant across the door, and he was jealous that the business was good, and people came and went, and he wanted to buy it, but it didn't sell, so he found someone to smash the store. The family didn't know where to move. ”
"I didn't hear about it last year!" Zhao Shen's hand picking up vegetables stopped, and he said suspiciously.
"You don't come much, and no one dares to say it, but there were people talking about it at the time, and he was caught by a man from the old man's family, and he was beaten and kicked, and the man couldn't get out of bed for a few days." Aunt Zhang's voice became lower and lower, and she looked around nervously again, two farmers in coarse cloth clothes walked at the end of the alley, and two children from a family in the middle were chasing and playing outside, and there were no idlers passing by, but Aunt Zhang still quickly ended the topic, shook her head slightly and said, "Don't talk about Master Hua, don't cause trouble." Poor people's lives are cheap! In the past two days, each family has watched the child closely. You should also pay attention to the fact that the poor are the life. ”
Zhao Shen nodded yes, turned his head and hurriedly took care of Zhao Lan and Zhao Ju: "Lan'er, especially after Ju'er, don't run around in the town. ”
Zhao Ju pouted and retorted: "I didn't run around." ”
Zhao Shen stopped what he was doing, turned to glared at Zhao Ju and said, "I asked you to remember, didn't say that you ran around, remember?" If you touch a nobleman, be careful that your legs are not safe. ”
"Remembered, remembered." Zhao Ju was very impatient when he heard this, and shouted at Zhao Shen's family. Zhao Shen pulled down his face and glared at her. Zhao Jucai sat down at the table with a mutter, coiling the string in his hand.
Zhao Shen turned his face and saw Zhao Lan bending over, looking at the iron tools on the shelf outside, and thought for a long time before opening his mouth to discuss Zhao Lan: "Lan'er! I'll see if it's about sending flowers next time! If Master Liu says something bad, then we can't afford to be guilty. ”
"Mother, Master Liu looks good at people and is easy to talk to, unlike the old man you are talking about, he shouldn't do that kind of thing. We will pick a pot of beautiful and festive flowers and give it to him, and there will be no problem. Zhao Lan's eyes moved away from the sickle in her hand, comforting Zhao Shen.
"What if something else goes wrong?"
"What's the problem? I send flowers and not food, the flowers are placed there to see, they are not good-looking or withered, and they are thrown away when they die, how can there be a problem. Besides, Liu Gongzi is his brother's classmate, so it's good to be closer. Although even her brother Zhao Chun was involved, Zhao Shen was still hesitant, and she sat on the stool with a face that she wanted to say but didn't know what to say, and she knew that she was conflicted in her heart at a glance.
"Mother, I have promised Master Liu, Master Liu may be waiting! If you don't send it, it's not a breach of trust, maybe the matter of dishonesty will come to my brother at that time. How bad is that! Zhao Lan spoke again, pulled the matter away and explained it to Zhao Shen, and then put a little pressure on it.
Zhao Shen thought for a while and said, "Why don't you send it over this time, after all, you have already agreed." Don't do it again next time. ”
"Okay." Zhao Lan happily agreed. Turning around, Zhao Lan said to Zhao Dazhuang, who was looking through an unformed piece of iron: "Daddy, I want a small shovel." ”
"Don't you have a shovel at home? Is it broken? Her mother. Zhao Dazhuang turned around and asked Zhao Shen.
"It's not bad," Zhao Shen replied, and asked Zhao Lan suspiciously, "Lan'er, didn't you still use it a few days ago?" I remember it wasn't bad. Could it be that someone took it away, which one is this guy who lacks virtue? Zhao Shen stood up anxiously, smoothed his sleeves and was about to go home, "I have to go back and see which one lacks virtue and when he stole it." ”
Zhao Lan hurriedly explained: "Mother, don't worry, the shovel at home was not stolen." Keep it in the house......"
"Didn't steal?" Zhao Shen and Zhao Dazhuang asked in unison without waiting for Zhao Lan to finish speaking.
Zhao Lan hurriedly said, "No." I wanted a smaller shovel, the one at home was too big and too heavy for me to grow flowers. I want to be smaller, digging soil, digging flowers or something. ”
Zhao Shen patted his chest: "I'm scared to death, you girl." It's good if you don't steal, it's good if you don't steal. Zhao Dazhuang raised his head and looked at Zhao Lan in confusion and asked, "Do you want a small one?" ”
Zhao Lan nodded. Zhao Dazhuang then asked, "Small?" What kind of small ones have never been done? I won't do complicated things for your father, don't look at the complicated and good-looking ones at the door, those are all goods taken from Lao Chen. Daddy will only do the simple. ”
Zhao Lan was also a little stunned when she heard it, is the shovel also complicated? The shape is not very simple, it is rectangular and a piece of iron, and it is just sharpened.
Zhao Lan said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be complicated, it's similar to the big shovel at home, it's one size smaller, and it's best to get a pointed one." ”
"What kind of point."
"That's it."
The pen and paper given by Master Liu came in handy, Zhao Lan took out a piece of paper, polished the ink, and picked up the brush to draw.
It's not writing, it's like a ghost drawing a ghost, and you can't see people. Painting is different! It doesn't matter if the horizontal and vertical diagonal lines are thicker, thinner, longer, or shorter, and it's all your own family, and it's okay if you're ugly. Zhao Lan didn't feel a little burdened when she drew a shovel, so she picked up the pen and drew it with a few strokes.
Put down the pen, hold up the paper and learn to blow the words of the ancients, oh! It's not a word, it's a diagram made of lines. Then he was brought to Zhao Dazhuang.
Zhao Lan stretched out the paper in front of Zhao Dazhuang's eyes and said, "Dad, look, it's so simple." It would be nice if it could be recessed a little in the middle. ”
"You can't see what this painting looks like? It's the tip of the head, isn't it like the tip of a sword? ”
"Yes, yes, it's like the tip of a sword, but it's different from a sword, the sword is protruding outward, and this one is concave inward."
"Concave? What does it look like? "What is the concave into, this stumps Zhao Lan. Let's give an analogy. Zhao Lan looked back and forth, left and right, up and down carefully.
The Three Character Classic.
Zhao Lan walked quickly to the small table, grabbed the book of "Three Character Classic" on the table, and walked to Zhao Dazhuang, who was sitting by the stove, and shouted as she walked: "Dad, come and see." ”
Zhao Lan came to Zhao Dazhuang, bent the three-character warp into a crescent shape and handed it to Zhao Dazhuang, and said, "Dad, look, it's made like this, these two corners are cut off, and they are sharp." Can be punched in an arc. ”
"What does an arc look like? Not to mention the curve, I think this pointed end is quite difficult to get. It's even harder to make this tile shape again, otherwise, everyone can make a sword. All of them have become sword forging masters! ”
"Ahh Zhao Lan held the book and stayed there. It's still hard, so what can be done! Zhao Lan ran over with 10,000 grass and mud horses in her heart. Looking at Zhao Lan's surprised, stunned, and disappointed eyes, Zhao Dazhuang awkwardly pointed to the row of shelves at the door and said, "Dad can only make things in the first row of shelves!" Your dad can't do the rest. Zhao Lan looked in the direction of Zhao Dazhuang's finger. A wooden frame is placed against the wall, and there are three rows of wooden shelves, the first row, shovels, door plugs, sickles, iron blocks, kitchen knives...... Nope.
"I can't do it!" Zhao Lan muttered unconsciously. Zhao Dazhuang opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. If Zhao Dazhuang's face could be seen to be blushing, it is estimated that his face would be as red as a boiled crayfish, purple as a waist face.
"If you can't do it, you can't do it, you can get me a small shovel first, it's one size smaller than the big shovel, about the size of a palm." You'll have time to ponder the pointy one. That's easy to use, and it's labor-saving to dig up. ”
Zhao Lan said, very disappointed in her heart. I thought I could make a small shovel with a sharp tip, and it would be much more convenient to dig with a small shovel, shovel soil, and fill the pot with soil. But I can't do it! It's really useless for heroes.
However, it is okay to make a small flat one, that is, you have to hold it by hand when you dig the soil, and the flat shovel can't bring up any soil.
"It's easy to do, but it's small, I'll get it for you in the next two days." Zhao Dazhuang couldn't bear to look at Zhao Lan's disappointed eyes and said to Zhao Lan flatteringly.
looked at Zhao Dazhuang's apologetic eyes, flattering his expression. Zhao Lan quickly adjusted her attitude and sincerely thanked: "Hey! Thank you Dad! It's better to be a dad. ”
"Hey, hey!" Zhao Dazhuang smiled.
It's better than nothing, it's much better to have a small shovel to dig trees in the mountains, and save yourself from bringing such a big guy, and the shovel will be tired and half dead. Don't talk about holding a tree.
Zhao Shen also cleaned up the house, cooked some vegetables and baked some cakes, and led Zhao Lan and Zhao Ju back.
As soon as I entered the village, I just got off the ox cart. Chun Tao rushed over: "Sister Lan, I'll tell you bad news. ”
This nasty child, who wants to hear bad news.
