Chapter 42: Refusal

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! Seeing that his son-in-law wanted to learn, Father An also consciously slowed down his speed, so that Zhang Zhenan could keep up, An Xiuer also gave Zhang Zhenan a hand on the side, and the two children were very well-behaved, so they found a corner and weaved straw ropes on the side.

"The most important thing about this meadow is to be compact, if it is loose and loose, it will leak on the roof, then it is useless." Dad An was knitting in his hands, while teaching the tips to Zhang Zhen'an, Zhang Zhen'an nodded yes, and Father An said: "You are still young, living in a thatched hut is not a problem after all, you still have to save some money early, get two tiled houses, tiled houses do not need to be overhauled every year, and the days that can be preserved are long." ”

"Yes, you see that the few houses in our village have been lived in for decades, but now they are still very stable, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to live in them for another few tens or hundreds of years." Liang also chimed in: "Although you are still young, you have to think more about the future, otherwise when you have a child in the future, you will have more places to use money." ”

Listening to Liang's chatter, An Xiuer quickly glanced at Zhang Zhen'an, she knew that he didn't like to listen to this, she was afraid that he would be angry, but who expected him to be very modest, what Liang and Father An said, he nodded and responded.

After a while, Dong and An Tiemu also came over with straw, the rain was too heavy, they walked all the way, and the straw was a little wet outside.

Putting down the straw, Dong came to work without saying a word, while An Tiemu continued the work that Father An had not finished.

An Tiemu is worthy of being a master in this, he works fast and well, and a wide bamboo strip arrives in his hand, as if it is a trick, and it is soon divided into many small bamboo strips.

A bamboo strip should be enough to supposedly, but Father An wanted to make the roof stronger, so he asked An Tiemu to split another bamboo strip.

When An Tiemu was working before, Zhang Zhenan had been watching silently, and when he heard Father An say this, he stood up and said, "I'll come." ”

As he spoke, he dragged the bamboos from the courtyard, divided them into eight small pieces, then separated them inside and out, and finally split them into small flexible bamboo strips.

His speed is very fast, almost on par with An Tiemu's speed just now, and Father An and the others who watched it were dumbfounded, especially An Xiu'er, she knew that Zhang Zhen'an still couldn't do these jobs before, and even those fences in the courtyard could be erected, thanks to Li Tiegen's help, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would actually learn these things.

When Father An was young, he was a skilled man, and he would use this bamboo strip to weave all kinds of baskets, baskets, and other things, and in his spare time, he would pick it up and sell it in the town, but it could also be exchanged for two dollars.

An Tiemu also learned this craft, although now there are fewer people who buy these baskets and baskets, but there is no capital to make this basket, and some are woven during the slack time, and occasionally they can be sold for two, which can be regarded as being able to subsidize the family, which is better than other people's homes.

Now Zhang Zhen'an can chop this bamboo at such a speed, so that An Xiu'er can see his talent, and she even thinks about letting her second brother teach him the craft of basket weaving.

But after thinking about it, he put this idea away again, this is the second brother's craft, if he opens his mouth to let him teach, he will definitely have no second words, but he can't do this, if he lets Xianggong learn, wouldn't it be a robbery of the second brother's job.

Thinking like this in her heart, An Xiu'er suppressed this thought.

Who knew that at this time, the Liang family praised it with a sigh of relief, and said, "Uncle is quite talented in this regard, and he can do it after watching it once." ”

"No, the last time I built a fence, Li Tiegen also taught me some." Zhang Zhenan said modestly.

"Just like this, you can do so well, and this is also your ability." Liang praised and said, "Otherwise, you can follow her second brother to learn some of this craft of bamboo art, so that in the future, no matter whether it is sunny or rainy, you will have something to do, and you will not be afraid of going hungry." ”

Liang is a good intention, she always thinks that her daughter will live better, if Zhang Zhenan is capable, wouldn't her daughter also be able to live better, but Dong listened to it on the sidelines but was a little unhappy in her heart, there are already many people in this town who can do bamboo art, and it is not easy to sell this thing usually, if you learn it alone, wouldn't it be a business with your husband?

But my mother-in-law has always loved my sister-in-law very much, and I don't know where my heart is going.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Dong still didn't open his mouth to refute, but the movements of his hands slowed down.

"If you want to learn, brother-in-law, when you are free for a while, come to the house, and I will teach you." An Tiemu didn't expect that the Dong family was so much, after all, An Xiu'er was also his sister, seeing An Xiu'er's life now, An Tiemu's heart was still a little uncomfortable, so when he heard his mother-in-law speak, he readily agreed.

"Thank you brother for your kindness, it's just that I'm used to being idle, and I'm lazy and lazy when I fish on weekdays, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, not to mention doing this bamboo art work." Although Zhang Zhenan knew that this was their kindness, he understood the importance of craftsmanship to the villagers, so he still declined.

An Xiu'er listened to a little hatred of iron and steel, she really wanted Zhang Zhen'an to learn more skills, but she didn't want to, she didn't know if he was really unwilling, or just like what she thought, but she didn't want to learn her second brother's craft.

"Uncle, you can't think like this, as the head of the family, the family will all depend on you in the future, you finally have a good livelihood, how can you not do things well?" Liang couldn't help but speak, with some harshness in his tone.

Zhang Zhenan was not angry, but admitted: "Yes, I will fish well in the future, and as for the rest of the time, it is not bad for me to accompany Xiu'er." ”

"I think it's good for my uncle to think like this, which shows that he cares about the girl." Dong interjected at the right time.

When Liang heard this, he didn't say much, if he didn't want to learn, he didn't want to learn, and he wasn't his son, so he couldn't come reluctantly.

Dispelling this thought, everyone was still busy weaving this meadow, and there was great strength in the number of people, and when it was almost dark, the high meadows had already been piled up in the corner of the kitchen, and the straw picked up by An Tiemu and his wife in the house was almost used.

"That's enough." Father An finished weaving the last straw in his hand, moved the meadow to the side, and then planned to stand up, but when he stood up, his body staggered, and he almost didn't flash his waist, but fortunately, Zhang Zhen'an, who was next to him, quickly helped him.

Only then did he stand still, waved his hand, and said, "Alas, people are old and useless, and they will be tired after sitting for a while." ”

After such a busy afternoon, he felt a little dizzy when he suddenly stood up.

When he spoke, everyone was also busy with the work in their hands, An Xiuer also helped Liang to stand up, Liang echoed Father An's words, and said: "Yes, in the blink of an eye, people will be old, I sit for an afternoon, and I feel tired and panicked, which was not like this before." ”

"I'm tired of my parents." An Xiuer listened on the sidelines, feeling a little ashamed in her heart, she was useless, she didn't know anything, and she had to ask her father and mother for help for a little thing.

"You stupid girl, what are you talking about, it's right to come to us when you have something, if you have something to tell us, although your father and mother are a little tired physically, but their hearts are relaxed, if you don't say anything, we are even more tired."

Liang took An Xiu'er's hand and said, "Let's just talk about today, although weaving this meadow is tiring, as long as I think of helping you repair this roof tomorrow, my mother's heart is also happy." ”

"Hmm." When An Xiu'er heard this, she nodded obediently and said, "Then mother, you go to the hall and sit first, and I'll cook." ”

"No, no, no......" Hearing that An Xiu'er wanted to cook, Liang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You are a mess, it's inconvenient to cook, just go home and eat." ”

"How's that going to work?" An Xiu'er hurriedly said: "This kitchen is a little messy, just clean it up a little, if you don't stay at home to eat, my daughter will be sad." ”

"No, it's better next time, you all go back to our house today." Liang said and looked at Zhang Zhen'an, and said: "Your house here is leaking, and it is not very easy to live in, otherwise, you and Xiu'er go back to your parents' house, and live in the boudoir where Xiu'er used to live, we all keep it for her, and we also go in to clean it in our spare time, and it is clean." ”

Zhang Zhenan looked at An Xiu'er, and then at the messy house, he wanted to sleep in this kitchen at night, but if he wanted to follow An Xiu'er back to his parents' house to sleep, he had never had this idea.

But Liang said sincerely, this house is indeed not easy to live in, if An Xiu'er follows him to sleep on the cold floor, he is really reluctant, he thought about it, and said: "If this is not the case, you take Xiu'er back, I can live in this kitchen by myself, after all, the family also needs to be guarded." ”

"I don't, I'll be where my husband is." An Xiu'er said like this: "Mother, if you don't stay for dinner, then leave early, this rainy day, wait for the road to slip when it's dark." ”

As she spoke, she took out a basket, but packed some things for Liang to take back.

Liang watched her work helplessly, watched her open the rice jar and scoop out the rice from it, and then opened the cabinet to take Zhang Zhen'an's wine, she became more and more worried in her heart, and said in her heart, this girl is really, too willful, as the face of her uncle, how can she get things for herself and others, what does Zhang Zhenan think?

"Uncle, why don't you go back to our house with Xiu'er? It's all a family, so you don't have to be so restricted. Liang persuaded again, and seeing that Zhang Zhen'an didn't speak, she called An Xiu'er again, and said, "Xiu'er, what are you doing, don't bring us things, we have these things at home, and you two keep them for yourself." ”
