"I said what do you want old newspapers for, it's actually practicing calligraphy? Although the conditions in our house are not particularly good, we can still afford to buy some paper, so don't practice in old newspapers. Xu Zhongjun said angrily and distressedly.

"It's okay, these newspapers are useless anyway, and I can use them to practice calligraphy." Xie Xiaonian saw that he couldn't hide it, so he said with a light smile.

"That's not good, you see the words you wrote, obviously not as serious as when we practiced together, it must be that you think that the newspaper almost doesn't need any money, if this one is not well written, use the next one and then write it, right?" Xu Zhongjun guessed.

"Zhongjun, you are so powerful, you can guess accurately." Xie Xiaonian praised in surprise.

"Okay, don't put a high hat on me, anyway, don't use the newspaper to practice calligraphy in the future, if the blank paper at home is not enough, I will go to the county to buy it when I am free another day." Xu Zhongjun decided directly.

"Okay, I won't practice writing in the newspaper in the future! However, we practice calligraphy in the space every day, and it is too paper-consuming, so let's write a little smaller in the future, so that we can save some paper! Xie Xiaonian came up with an idea.

"No, you forgot what our dad said that you would rather practice big characters than small characters, if you practice small characters at the beginning, you won't be able to write big characters in the future." Xu Zhongjun directly refused.

"Okay then, it looks like our family is going to break the fortune." Xie Xiaonian said distressedly.

"Okay, don't feel distressed, practicing calligraphy is a good thing, it's worth spending some money to buy paper, we don't know how to make paper, so we can only buy it, fortunately, the paper is not too expensive, let's grit our teeth, it can be regarded as consumption." Xu Zhongjun said while helping Xie Xiaonian pack his things.

"Papermaking? Yes! Why didn't I remember to make my own paper! Xie Xiaonian got Xu Zhongjun's prompt, patted his head, and said in surprise.

"What do you make your own paper, you can make?" This time it was Xu Zhongjun's turn to be surprised.

"No, but I've seen the method of making mulberry paper in a book, although I haven't done it before, and I'm not sure if I can make it, but let's try it, don't we? What if it's made! It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's start now! Xie Xiaonian said happily.

She had seen a documentary in her previous life, which was about making paper from mulberry bark, and it was not too difficult to watch, and there were a lot of mulberry trees in her space, and there was also time, so it didn't hurt to try.

Although making paper by herself will be more time-consuming and laborious, if she can really make mulberry paper, then she will not have to worry about not having money to buy paper in the future.

Mulberry paper is soft, insect-proof, non-fading, and absorbent, and it is the best for practicing calligraphy, and it is definitely better than the paper she is spending money on now.

"Do you really want to make your own?" Xu Zhongjun said with a frown.

"Of course, I've always said that I can do it well or not, why, you don't want to help, I'm afraid of difficulties!" Xie Xiaonian glared and said firmly.

"No, you say how to get it, I'll listen to you!" Xu Zhongjun was inspired by Xie Xiaonian, and he was also a little eager to try.

But he just wanted to try it out, and he didn't have much expectation for making paper, after all, these skills were not passed on, and Xiao Nian knew a rough idea at most, and it was not easy to really figure it out.

"Go and cut some mulberry branches, peel off the skin, and scrape off the blue on the outside, leaving only the white on the inside. I'll go inside and get the leftover screens, and we'll cook the mulberry bark and make the tools later! After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the space.

Cauldrons, wooden gases, stirring sticks, gauze frames, and other utensils for making mulberry paper are relatively easy to find and make, but it is not easy to really make a qualified mulberry paper.

Because he only knows the steps and doesn't know the specific details, some of the paper made by Xie Xiaonian is too thick and easy to fold, and some is too thin and easy to break.

Coupled with the waking up pancakes and peace, a few people tinkered in the space for nearly 20 days before they really created a mulberry paper with moderate hardness and softness, uniform thickness and no printing when writing!

Although there is still a gap with what I bought in later generations, it is enough to use it myself.

"Great, we're geniuses!" Xie Xiaonian shouted happily after experiencing the feeling of practicing words on mulberry paper.

"Mom is the best!" Pancakes and peace also happily continued.

At this time, the two of them blushed and fluttered, and they had a special sense of accomplishment.

"Although this paper looks yellow and yellow, and there are some scratches, the grade is much stronger than the paper we bought!" Xu Zhongjun said approvingly.

He really didn't expect that they actually made mulberry paper, and if he thought about it a hundred times, it was better to try it once!

"That's not it, in the future, we will be able to use high-quality paper that doesn't cost money, and no matter how much we use, we are not afraid of arousing the suspicion of others." Xie Xiaonian said proudly.

"I have time to go to the county to buy more fine screen windows and come back, and make more screen frames, so that we can make more paper at a time!" Xu Zhongjun suggested.

"That's a good idea, that's it! If you're tired today, let's get here first, and tomorrow we'll use this last method to continue doing it! Xie Xiaonian stretched his waist and decided.

"Okay, you take the child to rest first, and I'll dry the rest of the pulp!"

"Well, don't be tired!"

When I arrived in the study, Pancake was lying on the bed, and I couldn't sleep with excitement.

"Mom, did we invent paper today? Will we invent anything else after that? Pancake asked happily.

"We didn't invent paper, we made paper, but no matter what you want to do in the future, or what you want to invent, your mother will fully support you!" Xie Xiaonian said encouragingly.

"I'm going to invent a lot of things in the future, so that people can get better immediately when they get sick, and think about a car that can get to the place!" Pancake said excitedly.

"I want it too, I want it too!" Peace also said happily.

Because today's perseverance in trying various methods to make mulberry paper, the two children have left a deep impression in their hearts, and also let them learn to persist and innovate, which has had a great impact on their future life and work.

The so-called teaching by word and deed, that's it!

Because the process of papermaking is relatively hard, coupled with the ease of use of paper, it makes several people more handy to practice calligraphy.

In this way, after a month, the words of the three of them almost caught up with Luo Changsong.

The rapid progress of the three of them surprised Luo Changsong, but this incident also gave him more capital to show off with his old friends.

The so-called strict teacher produces high apprentices, and he feels that not only the children are smart, but he is also a teacher!

"Xiao Nian, my font is not suitable for you to practice as a girl, I asked my old friend from college some time ago for a few hairpins and small letters, you practice according to this! I also want some copybooks in other fonts.,If you want to practice.,You can practice it yourself.,I can't teach you! At dinner that day, Luo Changsong sighed with both relief and regret.

"Thank you Dad, you're so nice! I'll make you shabu shabu in the evening, let's celebrate! Xie Xiaonian said happily.

"This is good, it's cold, this is the most suitable!" Luo Changsong swallowed his saliva and said.

As for where to get the materials, it's not his business, as long as Xiao Nian says it, then he will definitely be able to make it, he just needs to wait to eat.

"By the way, Zhongjun, I received a letter from my hometown this morning." Xie Xiaonian remembered the letter he received in the morning and said happily.

"What letter? Seeing that you are so happy, there must be something good! Xu Zhongjun asked suspiciously.

"That's not it, Wei Guo and Wei Min have found jobs, and Orchid is pregnant with a child!" Xie Xiaonian happily announced the good news.

"Really, this is Sanxi, did the letter say that Weiguo and Weimin have found any jobs?" Xu Zhongjun asked happily.

"Wei Guo's job is to burn boilers in the commune bathhouse, and Wei Min is to work as a porter in the county's textile factory, but he is only a temporary worker, and he has not yet become a regular worker. But either way, now both of them are workers. Xie Xiaonian replied with a smile.

"Porter? Can Wei Min come here to work? ”

Although Wei Min has not been pampered by his family since he was a child, he has never done too much physical work, and Xu Zhongjun is really a little skeptical that he can do it.

"Why can't you do it, he's a big guy, it's when he's energetic, I heard from my mother that he did a good job. This porter is a little tired, and he has to squeeze the collective dormitory in the county, but it is a worker in the county textile factory, and it is more decent than the work of Weiguo, so our second sister-in-law has to show off hard. Xie Xiaonian said understandingly.

Even if it is a porter, it is a manual work, and it is very popular at this time, after all, in most people's hearts, as long as they can eat commercial grain, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

"As long as you do it, you can do it, but although Wei Guo burns the boiler in the commune bathhouse, and it is not so loud to say, at least he can go home and live, he can take care of his family, and it is relatively easy, and the two of them have their own advantages and disadvantages!" Xu Zhongjun nodded and said.

"Isn't it, now that the two guys have found jobs, it's easier to say goodbye. You see which day you have a day off, if you have time, go to the county to help me send some nutritional products to the orchids. Knowing that she is pregnant, we have to show something. Xie Xiaonian continued.

"Okay, you prepare things, I'll send them over when the time comes, but just say a little, don't take too many things, we have 5 children now, and we have more things, and Orchid is going to feel guilty again." Xu Zhongjun nodded and instructed.

"Don't worry, I'm measured!"

In this way, in the short and personal contacts between these parents, the time entered 1977, which was a turning point of fate for many people.
