Chapter 97: A New Hope
The next day, Xi Yuexin got up early without being called, cooked breakfast, and after eating breakfast, cleaned the bristles that Xi Baolin brought back, and boiled them for sterilization.
At the end of the hour, Xi Yuexin came to Xi Guodong's house with the detoxified pig bristles and Xi Baolin's shaved bamboo slices.
"Yuexin, you're here, come in." As soon as Xi Yuexin entered the courtyard gate of Xi Guodong's house, the things in her hand were picked up by Xi Qingyun, who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
And Xi Guodong, his wife Wen, eldest son Xi Jia'an, and second son Xi Jianing were all sitting in the courtyard waiting, and when they saw Xi Yuexin coming, they all stood up one after another.
Seeing the four of them, Xi Yuexin greeted with a smile: "Uncle Lizheng, eldest aunt, Brother An, Second Brother Ning, let you wait for a long time." ”
"Yuexin, you are too out-of-the-box when you say this, you are willing to teach my father to make toothbrushes, they are too late to thank you, and who cares about waiting for you for a while." As soon as Xi Yue's sorry words were finished, Xi Qingyun, who was standing beside her, immediately said angrily.
"Yes, Yuexin, thank you for teaching our family how to make toothbrushes." Xi Guodong followed closely behind Xi Qingyun and said.
"I can't make a lot of money, Uncle Lizheng doesn't dislike it, give me this opportunity, let's not say these pompous words, it's not too early, let's start working." Xi Yuexin said after being polite.
"Okay." Seeing that Xi Yuexin was so refreshing, Xi Guodong and the others didn't want to say any more polite words, and they all rolled up their sleeves and prepared to work.
"Uncle Lizheng, come, I'll make one for you first." Seeing the energetic appearance of Xi Guodong's family, Xi Yuexin felt that her whole body was also full of energy, and walked under the eaves as she spoke.
Xi Guodong's family of five also followed her.
Because Xi Qingyun had already taken all the things, Xi Yuexin went directly into the hall and moved a long bench out and placed it under the eaves, and then said to Qingyun with a smile: "Qingyun, give me the things." ”
Xi Qingyun handed her the bamboo plaque containing the pig's bristle and bamboo chips in her hand.
After placing the bamboo plaque on the bench, Xi Yuexin began to do it, while explaining, the first step is how to divide the pig dumplings, how many roots a bunch is, how many bunches of pig bristles to use in a toothbrush, and then divide these hair bundles into several rows, etc., all of which are explained in detail one by one, and then how to insert the bunches of pig bristles into the holes that have been made in the bamboo pieces.
When Xi Yuexin made a toothbrush, the explanation was over.
Xi Guodong's family of five listened quietly and carefully, for fear of missing a word, and the toothbrush made by that time was unqualified.
"Alright, Uncle Xi, you can make one for me." Put the toothbrush in his hand back into the bamboo plaque, Xi Yuexin said with a smile.
Xi Guodong was the first to respond: "Okay, I'll come first, if there's something wrong, you have to remind me." ”
"Okay." Xi Yuexin smiled and nodded.
After hearing Xi Yuexin's answer, Xi Guodong started to make a toothbrush according to the steps Xi Yuexin just said, Xi Yuexin watched intently from the side, and saw that Xi Guodong did something bad, so she opened her mouth to remind her, and when Xi Guodong did it right, she praised it.
Xi Guodong's first tree toothbrush took a quarter of an hour, but it was a qualified product, and Xi Yuexin gave a positive appreciation.
The second is Xi Guodong's wife Wen.
Wen's may be because she often does handiwork, she makes many fewer mistakes than Xi Guodong, and the time used is only half of Xi Guodong's, and the quality of the toothbrush she makes is even better than Xi Guodong's, Xi Yuexin sees a new hope in Wen's body.
