Chapter 16: The Weekend

After eating, he still had to work in the field, Ou Heshun went to the field, and the three concubines stayed at home to study the sewing machine.

Inside the box was a manual for the sewing machine, mostly text, with a few sketchy drawings attached.

The two sisters-in-law had only studied in the village literacy class for about a few days, that is, they could recognize a few simple words, plus they could write their own names. can only rely on Ruan Yu to read, and the two of them are looking for how to use it.

The first to learn was Qin Liuya, in terms of sewing clothes alone, she was the most skillful one in the family.

The same opening, He Xiaohe can only stitch it up, the threads can be seen clearly, replaced by Qin Liuya, the clothes she sewed make it almost impossible to find out where the hole was broken before, it really can't be restored, she will embroider some patterns on it, small birds and small leaves or something, sometimes it will look better than before sewing.

The evening girl has always been honest and doesn't like to ask for anything, but Xiao Yong is different, every time she tears her clothes, the first thing she thinks of is to go to the second aunt to sew and mend it.

"The second sister-in-law learns so fast."

Ruan Yu smiled and picked out a piece of white cloth on a black background from the large pile of things she brought back, "Why don't you make a schoolbag for the evening girl and practice your hands?" ”

Although it was said that the matter of the late girl going to school was nodded by Mrs. Zhang, Qin Liuya must still be a little uncomfortable in her heart.

said that he was making a schoolbag, but in fact, he also wanted to test Qin Liuya's attitude towards this matter.

He Xiaohe's mind was simple, and she couldn't understand these twists and turns, so she seriously thought about it and made a suggestion, "The second family hasn't done this before, why don't you try it first?" This one is simpler than a school bag. ”

Qin Liuya lowered her eyes, listened to her words, and curled the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile.

"The evening girl has grown up and has an idea of her own. I hadn't read it properly, and I didn't know if it was right or wrong to listen to her...... Forget it, her path is for her to walk by herself after all. ”

This means that the evening girl will no longer be stopped from going to school.

The three women worked all afternoon and made a one-shoulder clamshell school bag.

When it was time for dinner, the five children of the family returned.

Qin Liuya watched the evening girl go to the well in the yard to wash her hands and dry them, took the schoolbag and walked over with a look of indifference, and stuffed it into her arms very casually.

"Take it."

I didn't say exactly what it was, so I dropped two words and left.

This action made Ou Wan a little overwhelmed, she lowered her head and glanced at it, she didn't see what it was, she picked it up again and looked at it over and over again, and the original confusion was immediately replaced by surprise.

This kind of bag, she has only seen the elementary school brother carry it. The elementary school brother said that it was a schoolbag, and his schoolbag contained books, pencils, erasers, and sometimes small red flowers from the teacher.

Now she doesn't have to envy her junior brother, she also has a schoolbag of her own.

She tried to carry it, the length of the strap to her thighs, and even if she grew taller in two years, she could still use it.

Sweet girl leaned over, "This bag is so beautiful." ”

Qin Liuya looked indifferent on the surface, but in fact, she had been keeping an eye on this side with her afterglow. She watched the evening girl take the bag and touch it to see if she carried it again, obviously with a smile on her face, but she didn't say a word of praise, and her expression became resentful little by little.

It wasn't until she got a compliment from the sweet girl that her expression improved, and she snorted proudly, if there was a tail, it would definitely be high by this time.

Ou Wan really likes this schoolbag, but the people in the village have never paid attention to thanks, and she herself is a clumsy person, so she really doesn't know how to praise it.

The small schoolbag was later hidden under her pillow until she went to school later, with books in the bag, which hung on the doorknob like Ou Xiangxue.

The next day the weather was just right, neither hot nor cold, and the wind was cool, making it a good day for kite flying.

Ou Heshun led the children to fly kites in the open field.

It is said that the world is full of flowers in April, but you can still see small wildflowers in full bloom everywhere in the village, and you can also see butterflies and dragonflies flying around.

Kites are not too rare toys, almost every family in the village has children, but they are not as delicate as the kites brought back by Ou He and Shun Yangchun City.

As the children walked in the direction of the clearing, they knocked on the doors of the houses of the people who passed by.

"Brother Huzi, come out and fly a kite!"

"Huh! Come after eating! ”

For the matter of calling people out to play, the children seem to be tireless, and similar dialogues are repeated many times along the way.

Finally, when he arrived at the open space, Ou Heshun counted the five children in his family from the beginning, to nearly twenty.

Fortunately, this open space is quite large, otherwise it would be really disappointing if the kite strings were too close to each other and no one could play with them.

Ou Heshun has not been back to the village many times in recent years, and he is not very familiar with the children in the village, so he is thinking about whether to teach them how to fly a kite first.

An older boy was anxious, so he shouted directly, "Uncle Heshun, maybe our kite is better than yours!" ”

Ou and Shun playful together, "Then let's compare today?" ”

"Done!"

Sweet Niu obediently handed over the kite in her hand and blinked her eyes, "Come on, Dad!" ”

"Dad must be the first to put the kite on it, sweet girl should be optimistic."

Ou Heshun took the kite and held it in his hand, and began to run as soon as the words fell. After running a few steps, he raised his hand, and the kite flew up and down behind him.

He released the line as he ran, occasionally looking back to see if the kite had fallen. He also played with kites when he was a child, and the wind direction was just right, and the kite flew slowly and slowly, slowly and slowly, little by little.

In just ten minutes, the kite has already flown to a high place, and even if it stops running, it will not fall.

Ou Heshun handed the spool of the kite to Sweet Girl, looking around for the boy who had said he was going to compete with him at the beginning.

The kid was also very good at flying kites, and the kite had already flown to a high place, but unfortunately, he was still a little shorter, and the kite didn't fly as high as Ou Heshun. He's still running hard, trying to get his kite to fly higher.

A few children who knew him well gathered around him, shouting and cheering him on, as if he thought that the kite could fly higher if it was louder.

Ou Heshun smiled and leaned over, "Little baby, you don't put me as high, you lost." ”

The boy stopped when he heard this, and looked a little unconvinced by his expression. Everyone is not far apart, whose kite is high and whose kite is low, you can see it clearly.

Ou Heshun was curious, what would he say next?

Unexpectedly, the little boy happily admitted defeat.

"Uncle Heshun, I admit defeat, your kite is indeed better than mine."

The child is so frank and unrestrained, which makes Ou Heshun a little embarrassed, he is already an uncle, what are you worried about with children?

He touched his head, "It's nothing, it's just a little cheaper than you, and when you grow up, you can put it better than your uncle." ”
