"Mother, I'm afraid you don't even know that cheap girl's craftsmanship is so good? I have never seen the oil residue and the noodles that are refined, and I know that they are delicious when I smell them through the wall......" Zhu Shi gestured as he spoke, not noticing that saliva was dripping onto his sleeves.

Kang Pozi glanced at her with disgust, and then she wiped it with her hand.

"Mother, tell me, where did the dead girl get the money to eat meat? Isn't someone making up for her behind her back? ”

When Zhu said this, his eyes went straight to Dafang.

Ji Liansong and Yang's heads drooped lower, and Ji Ming looked at her expressionlessly.

Kang Pozi was not taken crooked by the Zhu family.

It's not that she trusts Dafang much, but she doesn't have the courage to measure Dafang. And the money for the big house has been scavenged by her, not to mention buying meat, it takes a lot of effort to buy a chicken feather.

"It can't be Widow Xie? Her family is poor, I'm afraid she hasn't smelled meat for a few years, why is she suddenly rich, not only eating meat, but also eating white noodles? "The noodles that their old Ji family usually eats are rolled out of grains!

Zhu maliciously concluded: "It must be that Widow Xie has slept with a lot of men recently!" ”

"What are you talking about, you didn't see the children here!" Although Kang Pozi's anger was eliminated a lot by this interruption, she was still not angry with the Zhu family.

However, what Zhu said was also in line with her guess.

What can she do with the mourning star, and she wants to eat meat by herself? Let's go in the next life! Widow Xie's stinky x goods, it's really shameless, open your legs for meat to eat, and you can't eat them!

Zhu pouted: "I'm not a cheap ...... The girl is worried that she has lived in Widow Xie's house for a long time, and she is afraid that she will be a seller in the future! That's not our face? ”

"She is no longer the Ji family, and she has nothing to do with the Ji family, so she doesn't need you to worry about it?" Kang Pozi picked up the rice bowl with a gloomy face, "I can't stop your mouth when I eat!" ”

That's what it means to eat, and everyone else picks up their bowls.

Kang Pozi didn't want to mention that mourning star again, but the Zhu family's goal had not been achieved, so how could she be willing?

She rolled her eyes and gently pinched Ji Mingmao.

Ji Mingmao burst out crying, rubbing his eyes with his two fat hands while crying: "I also want to eat meat, I also want to eat meat!" The mourning star can eat meat, and the fourth uncle can also eat meat when he comes home, why don't you give it to me...... Woowoo...... Grandma, you are eccentric......"

The mother and son should not cooperate too tacitly, which is obviously taught by the Zhu family a long time ago.

Ji Qingshan has not spoken since Kang's seizure, he has long looked down on the three daughters-in-law's problems that are not on the table, and he thinks that it is better to take the opportunity to let Kang's teach him a lesson.

However, when the Zhu family said "they are all children and grandchildren of the Ji family", his eyelids jumped, doesn't this imply that he and the Kang family only favor the fourth child?

Sure enough, the youngest grandson Ji Mingmao shouted out directly.

Moreover, no one in the hall stopped him.

What Ji Qingshan was most worried about still happened.

The other rooms have a disagreement because of the fourth child, if they are not remedied in time, they will further be resentful, resentful for a lifetime, and this family must not be torn apart?

Ji Qingshan coughed, called Ji Mingmao to him, and touched his head: "Who said that my lord doesn't care for you, my good grandson wants to eat meat, let your father go to the town tomorrow to cut a big piece!" ”

"Oooo Eat meat! Eat meat! Ji Mingmao immediately clapped his hands and cheered.

As if she had been pricked by a needle, Kang Pozi screamed: "Boss! How can there be money to cut meat! You forgot about the fourth ......."

"What's the fourth!" Ji Qingshan glared at her secretly, "Without the fourth child, we won't eat meat?" Let the cut be cut, what to do with so much nonsense, beware of a few children saying that you are eccentric. ”

Kang Pozi realized that she almost told the thirty taels of the matter.

The old man's meaning was nothing more than that he was afraid of provoking the anger of the people in a few rooms, and he was unwilling to earn money for the fourth child to study at that time.

This is not her concern.

"Eat, eat, you guys just gnaw my old bones and finish it!" She got up abruptly, threw the curtain and entered the east room.

Zhu doesn't care if she shakes her face or not, it's good if she can eat meat!

She picked up the chopsticks and began to stir them in the vegetable bowl again, not forgetting to greet others: "Dad, eat quickly, the dishes are going to be cold!" Big brother and sister-in-law, why don't you move your chopsticks......"

Ji Yu didn't know that because she ate a meal of meat, she had provoked all kinds of speculation from Kang Pozi Zhu and others, and it also caused a small turmoil within the Ji family.

She'd be watching people play cotton with gusto.

The craftsman who plays cotton is Master Liu, who was invited from a neighboring village, and his ancestors have passed down the craft.

But he doesn't live entirely on it. In spring and summer, after finishing the work in the crop field, I will do some other odd jobs, and only in autumn and winter will I start to walk the streets and alleys to make quilts for people, and the colder the weather, the more prosperous the business.

Playing cotton inevitably flies cotton wool, so the location was chosen in the courtyard, and a large piece of old cloth was spread on the ground, on which was a wide board, and the cotton balls were placed on the board.

The first process is "popping flowers", and several children are curiously gathered around, including Ji Yu.

To be honest, she had never seen this kind of old industry.

She was afraid that it would be difficult to wash the cotton wool, so she wrapped her head tightly with a cloth, showing only her eyes, not to mention how cute she looked. Hu Dacheng and Hu Ximei have been giggling and laughing since just now, and Xiao An and Xiaohua are two followers, and they laugh together if they don't understand anything. Ji Yu rolled her eyes, and made a gesture to knock them, and a few people were honest.

I saw Master Liu sticking a curved bamboo pole on his back, holding a big bow, and the bow was tied to the top of the pole and hung in front of him. He holds the bow in one hand and holds the string close to the cotton ball, and with the other hand swings the mallet, striking the string frequently and evenly. The tendon rope touched the cotton ball due to the vibration, and the messy cotton was loosened and raised, and the cotton silk danced in the air, like white clouds flying.

For a while, the courtyard was filled with the percussion sound of "Bangbangbang", and the rhythm was bright and staggered, like arriving at the scene of a big folk musical instrument performance.

It didn't take long for the cotton balls to be bounced into soft cotton wool, which could be pulled and knotted.

First, a bed is placed on the ground, and the border of the bed is a short vertical bamboo strip, densely packed like a low bamboo fence. Use red and white cotton threads to wrap the warp and weft on the bamboo strips to interweave into a net, and then lay the required cotton wool layer upon layer on the bed that has been knotted with cotton gauze until it is spread into a whole bed of cotton wool with uniform thickness.

As for "ginning", it is to use a rolling plate similar to the lid of a farmer's cauldron, rotate and press back and forth on the fluffy cotton wool by hand or person, and repeat it many times, so that the cotton and the gauze are entangled with each other, and the cotton wool is rolled tightly.

Seeing now, it seems that this step is relatively easy to get started, and several children are eager to try, but they can't even hold the rolling plate, so they can only sigh at the cotton.

Once one side is ready, flip the other side of the cotton elastic and repeat the previous steps on one side.

Next, the net is crisscrossed with cotton yarn again, this time on top of the cotton wool to ensure that the cotton wool is not exposed.

Then there is the seaming, that is, the edge of the batting is carefully connected with cotton yarn to prevent the cotton from running.

If it is a quilt used by relatives, it is often necessary to use colored wool to weave different styles of graphics on the cotton yarn before sewing the edge.

Master Liu asked Ji Yu if she wanted to have a big double happiness, Ji Yu waved her hand again and again, and the embarrassed look made Widow Xie laugh.

There was laughter in the courtyard, and outside the courtyard, Zhu stood on tiptoe for a while, and quietly returned to Ji's house.
