When asked about this, let alone Xing San, even the old woman sitting on the side was a little uncomfortable on her face.

But he was also honest, although his face showed a touch of discomfort, but he also replied: "Over the years, the life at home has been getting worse and worse." ”

"The land is thin, there are many people, and the food I get every year is not enough to eat, and I often have to ask other people's families to borrow the silver that the family saved in the early years."

"I heard my mother say that it was used by my two brothers to marry their daughters-in-law, and these days, the family can't even drink porridge, and often fill their stomachs with wild vegetables."

Ye Hao nodded, and asked again: "In the first few years of the family, was it just farming?" Didn't do anything else to make a living? ”

Although his niece is much younger than Xing San, for some reason, he thinks that his niece is a very thoughtful person, so he answers every question she asks very seriously.

"When the farm is not working, my father and I will weave straw mats, but many people in this village know how to sell straw mats, and the straw mats cannot be sold at a high price, and the money we earn is used to buy food, but it is still not enough for the family to eat."

Ye Hao smiled, as soon as she saw Xing Da Xing Er's appearance, she knew that these were two parasites again, the silver money earned by Xing San and the two of them was for a large family to eat and drink, how could it?

"Is there a bamboo forest near the third uncle's house?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Xing San's eyes: "How does Zhen'er know?" Did my sister tell you? ”

Ye Hao smiled and did not answer.

She actually asked casually, if there is, it is more conducive to her next words, it doesn't matter if she doesn't, there are bamboo forests near many villages, and it's just a matter of effort.

She glanced at the old woman next to her, and suddenly changed the topic and asked, "The third uncle came here this time, did he want some silver so that he could marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Through these two observations, as well as the conversation just now, she felt that her little uncle's temperament should be good, so she simply asked directly why Xing Da came over.

Xing San hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, don't get me wrong, Zhen'er, that's what my brother meant, I didn't plan to ask my sister for silver!" I'm actually... It's just that I don't worry about my mother. ”

"So come and see, too... It's also that I haven't seen my sister for many years, I miss her, and I want to come and see her. ”

Ye Hao raised her eyebrows: "In other words, this is what he originally planned?" ”

It's not hard to guess at all.

Also, Xing Da should know very well that what he did back then hurt his sister's heart, so he used Xing San's incident as an excuse to persuade the old woman to come over.

Otherwise, even if he comes, he won't get a good face, and it's good not to be kicked out.

Xing San hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes... Yes, but don't worry, Zhen'er, after I go back this time, I will definitely stop my eldest brother from coming again! ”

Ye Hao nodded noncommittally, as long as the old woman and the third uncle didn't come, even if Xing Da came, she wouldn't be able to please her, and her mother probably wouldn't even let him in.

However, my mother's mood will still be affected in the end.

For example, a few days ago, my mother saw Xing Da and them, and at night for several days, she felt that her mother was not sleeping very well after tossing and turning.

So what she has to do now is to find a job for her third uncle so that his life can be better.

Judging by his filial attitude towards the old woman, if he can earn money, the old woman's life will be much better.

As for the rest..... For example, Xing Da will not be dissatisfied, and what will happen because of this, that is a matter for the future, anyway, even if they make trouble, they will not be able to make trouble in front of themselves.

"Third uncle, do you want your grandmother to live a good life?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.

Xing San nodded without hesitation: "Of course I want to, but I don't want my sister's silver." ”

Ye Hao smiled: "I didn't say that I would give you silver, didn't you know how to make straw mats, third uncle?" Why not try making a bamboo mat with bamboo? ”

"The mats made in the same way are obviously much more delicate and can be sold at a good price."

"Bamboo mat?" As soon as this idea came out, not to mention Xing San, even the old woman's eyes lit up.

Xing San was thinking about what to do with the bamboo mat, and muttered on his lips: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" Bamboo is tough, and it is not easy******** straw mat should be strong and durable, if it can be made, it is estimated that many people in the town will spend money to buy it! It's how do you make the bamboo filamentous....?"

Ye Hao smiled: "Third uncle, I know a little bit about this, choose bamboo first, preferably three or four years old, and then open the billet, that is, open the bamboo in half....."

After explaining the steps of production, looking at Xing San's eyes getting brighter and brighter, she asked, "What does the third uncle think, is it possible to make it?" ”

"Yes, I'll try it when I get back, I'll definitely make it!" Xing San looked excited.

After speaking, he suddenly reacted and looked at her with admiration: "Zhen'er knows a lot, and even knows this." ”

Thinking of something, he frowned and asked a little uneasily, "But if I use this method, will the money that the Zhen'er family can earn less?" ”

Ye Hao's eyes were crooked, she really didn't see the wrong person, the third uncle was indeed a conscientious person.

"Third uncle, don't worry, my family doesn't rely on this to make money, and besides, no one in the family will make these up."

Xing San smiled brightly: "That's good, when this mat is ready, I'll send it to you immediately." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing happened to walk in through the door, and when he heard the sound, he asked suspiciously, "What did you send?" ”

Xing San got up from the stool, walked to her excitedly, and quickly told him what Ye Hao had just taught him.

At the end, he said: "Sister, when I use this new method to make a bamboo mat, I will send it to you, it will be hot soon, just enough to use, and it will definitely be cool under the body!" ”

Xing Shi glanced at his daughter in surprise, where did Zhen'er know the method?

In fact, she has been worrying about it for the past few days, how will her mother and brother live a better life in the future, but she didn't expect to be solved by her daughter.

Facing her mother's gaze, Ye Hao coughed lightly and said, "I saw this method in a book by chance. ”

Barely explained why.

Xing Shi looked at his younger brother suspiciously: "You don't need to send it to my sister, if you make it, you will sell it for money first, sister is not short of this." ”

Xing San smiled and didn't speak, but looking at that expression, he obviously had made up his mind.

Even if Xing hadn't seen his brother for many years, seeing him like this, how could he not know what he was thinking?

My heart is bitter and gratifying.

Stuffed a large lump of stuffed things wrapped in oiled paper into his hand, and said with a smile: "Here are steamed buns and eggs, San'er and your mother will eat some if you are hungry on the way." ”

"Sister, don't ....." Xing San's refusal was halfway through, and he retreated under her gaze.

Instead, it became: "Thank you, sister." ”

"Okay, what's polite with my sister, it's not early outside, you and your mother should go back quickly...."
