Chapter 206: The Power of Example
You must know that when she signed the contract at the beginning, Tian Yuanxiao was very worried, and it can be seen that Tian Yuanxiao also valued this girl, but she didn't expect to withdraw from the marriage.
Saying that, her eyes flashed with gossip, and she pulled Tian Feiying's sleeve, "Feiying, you said that you have withdrawn from the marriage, what is that girl still looking for Lantern Festival, do you regret it?" β
"How do I know!" Tian Feiying was speechless, "Oh, the person is back, you can ask!" β
Ahem, they want to know too, but they're too embarrassed to ask.
Tian Qing'an glanced at him, walked over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lantern Xiao, is that girl really your fiancΓ©e?" What's the matter with you? Tell us about it, and we'll do our best if we can help! β
Tian Yuanxiao smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll just be alone!" β
Tian Qingan scratched his head, "Oh, that's okay." β
After all, it's a private matter, and it's not easy for people to inquire if they don't talk about it.
However, Tian Yuanxiao usually looks at his brain and calculates it clearly, so he shouldn't do anything wrong.
Said hello to the others and went down the mountain.
I went to the village chief's aunt's house first.
A few half-grown children in my aunt's family were roasting sweet potatoes and chestnuts, all of which were from the mountains, and she helped pick them, and she gave them all, and the rest was piled up in the new house.
Their family has now moved in, and the old house in Ueda Village has been returned to the village, and they have lived in it for less than two months, and they have been given twenty taels of silver.
Now away from Ueda Village, life is quite good.
"Red dates, sweet potatoes!" The older boy handed over a roasted sweet potato with a soft inside and a coke, "The chestnuts will take a while." β
Tian Qingan sat down next to them in front of the stove, peeling sweet potatoes, and looked at the hall house, the village chief's uncle and several sons went to sell roast duck, and a few sisters-in-law went out to visit the door, why wasn't the village chief's aunt there?
"Where's your milk?" She swallowed a mouthful of sweet potatoes and asked, the craftsmanship is good, sweet and sweet, she can eat two more!
"I went to your house, and I said that I was discussing the sofa cover with your mother!" Speaking of the sofa, this twelve-year-old boy's eyes flashed with curiosity, the whole village knew the sofa, but I hadn't seen it, and I couldn't be curious, but the people in the workshop had a very strict mouth, and they didn't say it at all, so that everyone felt like a cat scratching it, and asked once they met, "Red dates, when can we see the sofa?" β
"Guess?" Tian Qingan said with a smile.
"Say it every time!" A few children muttered, but they didn't dare to persecute it, let alone peek, otherwise the elders in the family would know, and breaking their legs was no joke!
"Ahem, it's almost there!" Thinking about it, I added another sentence, otherwise the adults and children in the village all had a resentful expression when they saw her, and those who didn't know thought she was a negative man!
"Aren't you looking for my milk, go quickly!" I don't want to give chestnuts, I don't want to give sweet potatoes, it's so sad!
Tian Qing'an didn't care about his emotions, pulled out another sweet potato from the hearth, and said while sighing: "Potato, run for my sister, talk to your grandmother and my mother, and go to the town to buy fabrics later, let them come over quickly!" β
"Sister Red Dates, I want to see the sofa!" Potatoes clearly put forward the conditions.
"Okay, as long as your grandmother and your grandfather agree!"
"Sister Red Jujube is bad!"
"Go quickly, come back, my sister will teach you a few more words, let you teach other children!"
There is no teacher, and now it is still Pea who is a teacher, he takes classes at home in the morning and goes to teach in the afternoon, but a group of children get together, learn half and play half, until now, they will write their own and their family's names, and the writing is crooked, "Three Character Classic" is all memorized, Tian Qingan did not let continue to teach "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", but bought a copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems", well, compiled by the founding queen.
The number of words in the poem is small, so memorize it first.
Because she became a little teacher, Pea's interest in learning increased and her progress was rapid, which made the heartbroken eldest sister very pleased.
Of course, in addition to peas, the other children have also changed very much, one is more polite, one is clean and tidy, not as naughty as before, they are now headed by peas, the most admired and envious is peas, holding a branch, whoever is disobedient will knock whom!
Therefore, the temptation of being a little teacher is too great, and almost as soon as he finished speaking, the little guy jumped up, "I'll go, as soon as I come back, you will teach me, and I want to recite a poem that a pea brother can't know!" β
"No problem!"
The distance between the two families was not close, and the temptation of the poem was much greater than she imagined, and the potatoes ran back and forth in less than ten minutes, and when she finished teaching, the old lady and the village chief's aunt came over.
With the silver ticket and an ox cart, the three of them set off for the town.
The old lady has made sofa covers, and she has also seen sofas, and she mainly masters how much to buy and what to buy, she is a coolie who follows the ox cart, moves things, and pays.
There are also not many cloth shops in the town, there are three in total, two only sell linen cloth and a small amount of coarse cloth, and the last one is of higher grade, mainly cotton cloth, a small amount of satin, coarse cloth, etc., there are more than a dozen kinds of types, which is considered to be many, but the quality of these high-grade fabrics is the worst.
If you want to buy a good one, you can only go to the prefecture.
The ox cart drove on the bluestone street, and the old lady asked, "Do you still use cotton cloth this time?" β
"Yes, cotton is skin-friendly and comfortable." Of course, the kind of silk that is hundreds of taels and one foot is better, but it can't afford to use it, it is better to use cotton cloth from the beginning, and when you see this kind of sofa made of cotton cloth, you will know that it is their Chinese home.
Since it is made of cotton, there is no need to go to the best one.
The ox cart stopped at a cloth shop called Lin Ji, and immediately a tall and thin man came out, "A few people come in and have a look, our shop has brought in some new colors today, see if there is anything you like." β
The shop is not big, only a dozen square meters, in addition to the counter is full of piles, there are also shelves on the walls on both sides of the cloth hanging.
Behind the counter was a thin old man with a beard, pulling the abacus with a sad face, looking up and smiling when he saw people coming in, and continued to struggle with the abacus beads.
The old lady and the village chief's aunt followed the tall and thin young man to look at the cloth, while Tian Qingan frowned and walked around the store by himself.
She found that she had forgotten a very important problem, that is, this is not modern, the cloth dyeing technology is very backward, and every cloth is the same color, from top to bottom, every corner is exactly the same.
The sofa cover made of such cotton cloth is actually not good-looking, and the worst thing in the previous life was a gradient color!
Rubbing his eyebrows, fortunately, it is not a big problem.
It is to increase the work of all kinds of pillows, and it has to be embroidered, otherwise it is better to make the sofa into one at the beginning.
The cost increase is certain.
After all, she couldn't have opened another workshop specializing in cloth dyeing.
