The science and engineering student's brain is not covered, she just went through it in her mind a few times, and then she had the drawings, with her hands-on ability, even if the tools are not complete and the materials are not ideal, she can finish it in three days, but she was stunned for seven or eight days to finish, and then it took two days to polish.

Because it is for babies, it must be smooth and free of burrs.

This trolley is a dual-purpose car, and the baby can lie in it when it is usually put up, and it can sit in it when it is propped up. It's flexible.

Ji Xiu's month is still young, so he can only lie down.

She made a small car here, so Zhong Ling went to turn over the reeds cut at home last year, pushed the small stone stone with Bo Zhong, and after repeatedly crushing, he got a delicate reed cloak and woven a small mat.

Originally, the little girl didn't know this, but because she wanted to share her worries and relieve her eldest sister, she had the courage to go to the neighbor's house to ask.

But Zhong Ling insisted on doing it himself, and the neighbors patiently taught him by hand.

Despite this, it was still difficult to really get started, and Zhong Ling cut her hand several times because of this, but she didn't say a word, sucked off the blood beads and continued to weave the mat.

In this way, not only did he weave Ji Xiu's small mat, but also weaved a reed mat on his big kang.

The reed-woven mats are smooth, delicate, lightweight, and mild, especially when the weather is hot.

However, the neighbors also told Zhong Ling that in fact, it is best to spread straw mats on the kang at home, that is, mats woven with sorghum straw, and sorghum straw is called straw in the countryside, which is also repeatedly rolled with stone stones, split, soaked in water, and made flexible, and then pressed and woven into a mat with a mat knife, which is thick and durable, and a straw mat can be used for more than ten years.

It can not only be used to weave mats, but also can be used to make baskets, baskets, pot lids, the section where the sorghum ears are connected, and the sorghum ears can be used to make brooms, cooking brooms, remove the sorghum ears can also be used to make curtains, bun baskets, well, can also be used to make grub cages.

Skillful people can also make lanterns out of sorghum stalks.

Far away, Zhong Ling is still young, and it is good to be able to weave a large kang straw mat with the help of his neighbors, and he is not capable of doing anything else for the time being.

But Yuan Ning, seeing that the curtains at home were old, and the broom was almost bald, he asked someone for advice, so he made a few by himself.

Bo Zhong felt that his own sister was simply divine, she could do what the men and women in the village could do, and she could do what the people in the village could not do!

There were also a few rains in between, and the houses that the clansmen had helped to repair did not leak, but when the weather changed, the temperature dropped before they knew that the place where the wind should leak was still leaking.

It's not pleasant in the winter.

So Yuan Ning made wheat bran and yellow mud again, tinkered, and repaired most of the air leaks.

However, this is easier said than done, and it took two days to do it well, and it is not a long-term solution.

Yuan Ning pondered again, in the hall of the stove, she is not good at this, specially went to other people's houses for a few days, carefully looked at the doorway, after coming back made an improved version of the stove, the flue from the next bedroom, along the flue to make a fire wall out, the chimney is above the fire wall, straight to the roof, but outside she also lengthened the chimney, bent treatment, so that the wind smoke will not pour in, rain will not pour in.

Half a month has passed since this busy work.

Looking at this house again, it is much more neat, but it is not bright enough.

Bo Zhong proposed: "We can weave a little more reed mats, and stick them on the wall when the time comes, clean and bright." ”

"That's a great idea!" Yuan Ning clapped his hands, "It's just that our reeds have run out, and this year's reeds can't be used yet." ”

"We're not in a hurry now!" Bo Zhong smiled, "Eldest sister, we can cut a little more reeds in the autumn, and when we have nothing to do in the winter, we will slowly weave the mat and paste it little by little." ”

Some air leaks can also be blocked with mats.

Yuan Ning smiled and nodded: "Or Bo Zhong is smart, I didn't expect this." ”

Bo Zhong's face turned red, and the corners of his mouth curled wider.

Seeing that the eldest brother was praised, Zhong Ling and Shu Yu were not to be outdone, so Zhong Ling said: "Eldest sister, I think we should also make a curtain, otherwise, it will not be good to cook in the hall and the smell of smoke will come in." Leave this to me! ”

Shu Yu said: "Eldest sister, you do your work every day, and your hands often blister, I'll make you a hand wrap." "Make it with strips of cloth.

This reminded Yuan Ning, she shook her head, "No need for this, if we have a little more skin in our hands when we go back, you and your second sister will work together to make me a pair of gloves." "Don't dampen the enthusiasm of the little brother.

Shu Yu was originally a little frustrated, but he was happy to hear her say this, but he quickly asked, "What are gloves?" ”

"It's something that is put on the hand to protect the hand," Yuan Ning explained simply and rudely, "so it's called a glove, well, it's okay to call it a sleeve." ”

But except for the last time Su Heting's people helped catch a hare, they rarely even caught a pheasant. Therefore, it is likely that making gloves has become a good wish.

There is a small pocket of pheasant feathers that have been saved, and several big ones have decided to make a small quilt for Xiao Jixiu.

The previous rabbit skin just made a mattress for her, and the chicken feathers were light, so it was good to make a quilt.

Yuan Ning naturally had no opinion, and took out a little money to exchange a few feet of homespun cloth with the people in the village to make a quilt, and went to the town to pull three feet of cotton cloth to make a quilt, Ji Xiu is still young, and his skin is delicate, so he can't be too casual.

The big ones still used old quilts, but Zhong Ling had carefully dismantled and washed them, and all the things that should be mended were sewn up.

In the blink of an eye, it was July 15th.

The folk proverb says that "the jujube is red and round on the fifteenth day of July, and the jujube is dry on the fifteenth day of August", which means that by the time of the fifteenth day of July, the jujubes are all red, and the jujubes at this time are crisp and raw, slightly sweet, and can already be eaten.

It's a fun time for kids, but it's a fun time for adults......

July 15 is Halloween, to pay tribute to the dead.

The old patriarch discussed with the clansmen, this family has a few pennies, and everyone scraped together a little money, went to buy paper incense candles, and took Bo Zhong and Shu Yu to the grave of Zhu Qiwen and his wife to burn paper and make offerings.

According to country customs, girls are not allowed to go to the grave.

Yuan Ning hugged Ji Xiu in the courtyard and sat in a daze.

When she was there, she lost her father in childhood, lost her mother when she was young, and when she was studying for a doctorate, her grandfather also passed away, and she has been alone since then, but fortunately she also has a few close friends, and her life is not so lonely.
