Qinglian smiled, "Xiao Wu, then find a way to make money, you see, you raise a few chickens is enough to buy salt and vinegar for your mother's expenses, so how many more chickens to raise?" ”

Xiao Wu's dark eyes froze. He whispered: "That's it, Sister Qinglian, I didn't expect it, I'll buy a few more chickens in the spring of next year, no, I'll buy dozens of chickens......"

Speaking of this, he was worried: "But no, this chicken is not easy to feed, it is easy to get sick and be spoiled by bad things." ”

Qinglian said: "That's because you didn't care about it, in two days I should go to the county to sell garlic, when the time comes, I will go to the county library to buy a book on poultry breeding, let's have a scientific breeding." ”

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Okay, Sister Qinglian, if you buy a book, you must lend it to me, and I will definitely follow the book to school." ”

His reaction surprised Qinglian, and she asked, "Little Wu, haven't you ever entered the school, and you can also read books?" ”

Xiao Wu smiled and said: "Sister Qinglian, don't I live opposite the door with our brother Jianjun, he is a teacher in our village primary school, he knows that I can't afford to go to school, and I like to go to school, so he showed me the old textbooks that the students eliminated, he took the time to teach me, and bought me a dictionary. Hehe, Brother Jianjun said that my level has reached the fifth grade of primary school. ”

Qinglian exclaimed in her heart: Sure enough, she is a soul who is unwilling to be mediocre!

She happily patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Great, Xiao Wu, keep working hard, don't worry, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will get ahead, sister is optimistic about you." ”

When Xiao Wu heard this, his thin cheeks were flushed, his black eyes flashed, and he asked in a dumb voice, "Really?" ”

Qinglian said firmly: "Really." ”

He suddenly raised his right hand and swore to Qinglian: "Sister Qinglian, I listen to you, I will never steal again in the future, I am a man who stands up to the sky, I have to be looked down upon." ”

Qinglian deliberately provoked him: "Don't just say it, you have to prove it with actions." ”

Xiao Wu swore and said, "Sister Qinglian, just watch, if I make another old mistake, I will chop off my hand." ”

Qinglian looked at his hands that couldn't bear to look at directly, and said with a heartache: "Don't use your own hands to get angry, go, sister will buy you a bottle of horse oil, scald it with warm water every night when you sleep, apply oil, and slowly the crack will grow." ”

Qinglian's gentle words flowed in his heart like a warm current, and he let out a grateful "um".

Qinglian rode a bicycle and took Xiao Wu home from the market, the two talked all the way, the two laughed loudly from time to time, Qinglian found that Xiao Wu was not withdrawn at all, and his personality was still very cheerful.

She hurried to the house, and found that her father had finished the wooden frame for pressing incense and was fixing it in the utility room.

A large scale sheet of sawdust was also sifted through in the yard.

The eldest lady is using the fine gauze that her aunt bought to help sew the fragrant dill with the fragrance.

She praised her father for his thoughtfulness. said hello to the eldest mother, and then shouted happily: "Dad, I'm back, where is my aunt?" ”

He Hongshan lowered his head and said busily: "You went to grind elm bark powder, and you are back?" ”

Qinglian walked into the house and said to her father: "My aunt told you, I bought a pair of cotton boots for Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu is too pitiful." ”

He Hongshan glanced at his daughter gently, sighed and said, "Suffer!" ”

When my father pressed the incense shelf, my aunt also sewed three roses, which were almost enough, and my aunt also rode back with a bag of ground elm bark powder.

Seeing that everything was ready, she said with a high mood: "I'll live some fragrant noodles and try to make some to see if I can make a mother's level." ”

Everyone responded enthusiastically and watched her get busy.

He Dahong weighed the proportions with a scale, and added some of the grass root powder and colored dragon yellow powder to it, and then measured the water and fragrant noodles with a bowl.

Watch as she turns the powder into a brown, oily dough, then digs a piece, rolls it into a cylindrical strip by hand, stuffs it into the thick plastic cylinder, and finally places it on a wooden shelf.

She put the long wooden tray on the shelf, put her feet on the rope of the shelf, and with a great effort, the round incense strip slipped out of the small eye of the cylinder, and Gu's dexterous hands caught it slightly rusty, and pulled it flat on the wooden tray with a slight tremble.

"Ah, it worked, that's how it feels!" He Dahong screamed.

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed happily.

The eldest lady said ashamedly: "It's not, when I got married, I saw our mother standing under the incense shelf every day and pulling the incense sticks, I looked at her pulling the incense sticks and envied it, but I couldn't learn it, I would break it when I pulled it, and I broke it when I pulled it." My mother said I was stupid, so I wasn't allowed to learn, I just followed her at night to seal incense hehehehe. ”

He Hongshan teased his sister-in-law: "You can be stupid, so my brother doesn't dislike you." ”

The eldest lady robbed the white uncle: "You're not stupid, you haven't learned." ”

He Hongshan defended: "This is not a man's job." ”

"Life is still divided into men and women, and people Akiyama will still accept the soles of shoes."

"Who learns ...... from that fake"

Qinglian and Gu were amused by the two of them.

At this time, He Hongyun also came over, seeing that his sister was really made into incense, and muttered excitedly: "Okay, good ......"

He Dahong's face turned red with excitement, and he said modestly: "I don't know if it tasted like it was back then." ”

Qinglian said: "As long as the formula ratio is good, of course it still tastes." ”

He Dahong nodded: "Well, I'll do it tomorrow, and if I do it, I'll try it." ”

Gu pressed a tray, Qinglian carefully held it with both hands, a thin incense knife carved with bamboo, and said, "Aunt, I will learn to help you pour the diar." ”

He Dahong put another wooden tray on the shelf, and said with a smile: "Okay, in the future, my aunt will earn money to buy you candy to eat." ”

Everyone laughed.

Under the guidance of Gu, Qinglian first used an incense knife to pick up the incense sticks and squeeze them tightly, and then smoothed them with her fingers to make them stick together, and then everything was in two in the middle but not cut off, otherwise it would be difficult to pour the dill at once.

It's time for the most technical test, and that's pouring dizzle.

Qinglian didn't dare to fall, and watched her aunt gently slide out a neat piece of incense, and then put a piece of incense sticking out on the mulspool rose, and then gently pulled the support, and the whole tray incense was pasted on the rose.

It looks simple, but it is not easy to do, but it will not be able to pour a good piece of incense upside down, break, or stick to the support and not slide down, resulting in the irregular length of the incense.

Qinglian patiently followed her aunt to learn, until she finished making this piece of fragrant noodles, she had successfully poured three pieces of incense.

She and her aunt looked at the incense sticks that were almost a dill of incense, full of a sense of accomplishment.

Honglian and Mulian, who came home from school, were also pleasantly surprised, lying next to Luo and watching, He Dahong smiled and explained to his niece how to make incense, and how to seal incense after it dried, and his eyes were full of pride.

At dinner, He Dahong remembered to ask about this morning, and Qinglian told her that she had bought a pair of cotton shoes for Xiao Wu, and said that the cotton jacket and cotton pants he wore did not block the cold at all.

He Dahong also watched this little poor grow up, and she let out a long sigh, "My daughter, alas, your heart is too good!" Xiao Wu, this child was born in that family, and it was too sinful to have four ignorant sisters on the stall. Who is not pitiful, but you pity him to make him a cotton coat and don't invite her four sisters to see, that year he was still young, your cousin made him a cotton coat, who knows that his eldest sister counted down, the cotton clothes have not been seen Xiao Wu wear, all said that his eldest sister dismantled and made a cotton shoulder for herself. ”

"What a shame." Qinglian couldn't help but scold.

"I haven't eaten yet." The eldest lady stood at the door of the kitchen with a bunch of things.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to eat?"

"Auntie, come into the house."

The whole family greeted her affectionately.

The eldest lady walked in with a smile and said with a smile: "I heard Qinglian talk about Xiao Wu at noon today, I found out your cousin's small cotton clothes when I got home, and I wanted to send it to him, but I heard that his fourth sister was angry with her man and lived here, I was stupid and didn't dare to enter his house to make me unhappy, Qinglian, you can send it to him." ”

Qinglian smiled in her heart: Our family is all good people!

Qinglian said aloud: "Okay aunt, you can leave it, I'll send it to him in a while, I know what to say about dealing with his fourth sister." ”
