Chapter 123 has been long overdue

On the second day, Guan Wen began to draw the bamboo, the wooden slivers were stuck into a cross, and after the bamboo began to open a cross, he took the back of the knife and broke it open, and the cylindrical bamboo was cracked into four regular strips. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"

Lao Guantou stepped on the wooden stake under his feet, and his hands did not stop, holding Guan Wen's broken bamboo and continuing to draw and separate.

The wider bamboo strips are divided into four, opening the middle first, and continuing to divide on top of the two. The bamboos are well organized, and they are not afraid of forks in the road. The narrower ones are divided into three.

In the end, it was not directly broken, and the hand pulled the bamboo back with a slight force, and gently slaughtered it from the beginning, so that the bamboo strips were separated from the bamboo body.

The sound was crisp and rhythmic, and the grandfather and grandson cooperated tacitly, and after a while, a small bundle was made.

Li Xin was helping to make room on the side, looking at the bamboo strips that were soft and tenacious after being chopped down, and the front was green and the color of bamboo, and the back was slightly lighter, but there was also the fragrance of bamboo. And the rest is the white bamboo body, one by one is also in order, because it is thicker than the bamboo strips that are split, so it looks more than the number of bamboo strips.

Bamboo strips can be used to weave all kinds of things, and the bamboo body can be used to burn after drying. Although the bamboo body is very expensive to burn, and it will be burned out in a while, it is generally possible to use it to make fire. Especially when a lot of people are chatting around a firehead.

Li Xin tied a small bundle and asked Guan Wen: "I didn't cut much bamboo yesterday, so let's make these up for my own household today." ”

Bamboo is not very seasonal in this place in Huixian, whether it is winter or summer. You can cut it down at any time and use it. Looking at the bamboo forest over there, Li Xin thought for a while before saying: "In the future, look at the bamboo farther away, keep the bamboo near the house, and see if it will bear bamboo shoots next year." ”

Guan Wen nodded, "Those young bamboos haven't been cut, they're all old bamboos." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law Awen, what do you want to make up?" ”

Li Xin smiled silently.

After eating at noon, Guan Wen was going to work again, and Li Xin twisted before pulling him. Say quickly, "Weave me a bamboo grasshopper." ”

Before Guan Wen came back to his senses, Li Xin stomped his feet and ran away.

It took him a long time to react, and he was silly in the direction where Li Xin ran away.

The next day saw that he didn't break the bamboo, took a bamboo strip and chopped it carefully, and then used sandpaper to grind the ground without piercing his hands, and then began to weave.

The old man was weaving a big dustpan, his hands were moving fast, and his granddaughter-in-law said that weaving a big dustpan was good for shoveling garbage, and he was happy to take the job. At this moment, he watched his grandson look at the bamboo strips in his hand with all his attention, and couldn't help but ask him: "Awen. What are you making up? ”

Guan Wen didn't raise his head, his eyes were fixed on his hands, for fear that he would accidentally break the bamboo strips, and replied to his grandfather: "Make a bamboo grasshopper." ”

"What are you doing weaving bamboo grasshoppers?" Lao Guan shook his head: "You young babies, you still don't know the truth, making up that thing is time-consuming and laborious, with your kung fu to make that thing, grandpa's dustpan can also be made."

Guan Wen just laughed, and Lao Guan didn't bother to talk about him, so he made a dustpan with his legs.

Don't talk about it yet. Although the old man is old, he is really meticulous in his work. He can't shake off big movements, but he can still do this small range of movements. The dustpan in the hand is from the beginning of the shape to the completion of the weaving. I slipped down and came down. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"

When Li Xin came with hot tea, he just finished weaving a dustpan, raised his hand and offered treasure to Li Xin: "Awen's daughter-in-law, grandpa's skills are good, right?" ”

"Not bad." Li Xin smiled and brought the tea to Lao Guan, while boasting: "Grandpa's craftsmanship is not said!" ”

Lao Guan got praise, just like a child, his face bloomed with a smile, and he asked Li Xin happily: "Then what else do you want to make up?" ”

"Let's make a few more baskets, no matter how big or small." Li Xin took a serious look at the dustpan woven by Lao Guantou. I found that it was really well made. It's not grinding at all, I think it's already smoothed. Nodding and smiling: "Stir-fry vegetables or something, drain the water with a basket, and you have to drain the rice for cooking. The previous ones are all used and almost old, and it's time to throw them away. ”

Lao Guan nodded and began to do it, while knocking his teeth with Li Xin: "Awen's daughter-in-law, what do you do with Awen, don't make up that little gadget with serious things......"

Li Xin blushed "poofed" - this is a long time ago, Guan Wen owes her bamboo grasshopper! He glared at Guan Wen who was looking over angrily, and when he saw that Lao Guan lowered his head and didn't look at them, he thought it was not a joke but just a matter of facts, and he felt a little funny for a while.

Guan Wen raised a smile at her, the longer she looked at the scar on her face, the more she felt that it faded, and she thought that the scar removal spirit was still useful.

Continue to use it for him in the future.

Thinking like this, Li Xin stuck out his tongue and made a grimace at Guan Wen, and said back to the old man with a red face: "That's it, grandpa taught him more, he didn't listen to grandpa, and we all ignored him." ”

The old man laughed, "Okay, grandpa will help you teach him a lesson." ”

Then he said to Guan Wen earnestly: "Ah Wen, it's not easy to live, you have to focus on practical things......"

Guan Wen listened humbly, Li Xin grinned happily and went to Ah Mei's house to chat with her for a while, feeling that the light in her room was not very good, so she could only open the window a little, but it was better. However, when the wind blows in winter, it can be very cold.

After thinking about it, Li Xin said: "Sister, let's go to the hall to do needlework, brighten the hall, and it won't be cold." My sister-in-law made a charcoal basin to roast her hands. ”

As he spoke, he went to look at Ah Mei's hand, and said with a little distress: "Look, the hands are a little white." ”

In ancient times, there was a kind of oil similar to hand cream, but Li Xin felt that kind of thing was greasy, and he always felt that his hands were not washed clean. In the past, she moistened her hands with wax oil, and now that it is cold in winter, she feels unpleasant to use.

It would be nice if you could make a homemade hand cream that could keep your hands hydrated and not look greasy.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Li Xin was a little moved.

Ah Mei retracted her hand shyly, rubbed it herself~~.cn-update debut~~ rubbed, nodded obediently and said, "I'll go to the hall." ”

So saying, he took the sewing basket and trotted to the hall.

Li Xin walked thoughtfully back to his bedroom, took a pen and paper and wrote two lines. I touched my chin and thought about it for a long time, and picked up the paper with a precious place.

Just as he was about to go out, Guan Wenle ran over and smiled at Li Xin with a well-made small grasshopper in his hand.

Li Xin annoyed him, slammed the door with a disgusted glance, and looked at the bamboo grasshopper awkwardly, "What is this made up." ”

"Grasshoppers." Guan Wen blinked, reached out and took Li Xin's hand and put the bamboo grasshopper in, "Xin'er. Like it or not? ”

"Like it or not...... Didn't Grandpa say that it wasn't true......"

Li Xin pretended not to like to play with the bamboo grasshopper, and said awkwardly, but the corners of his mouth became more and more raised. What you like is the truth, Sensei said bamboo grasshoppers, bamboo insects, I will make up Guan Wen for you I know that Li Xin is coquettish with him, and he is still very surprised that his daughter-in-law is coquettish with him, and he said it like this without thinking about it, which made Li Xin giggle.

In fact, this is just that Li Xin thinks that he is doing what she wants in the old house today, and she is happy.

The two of them were tired for a while. Seeing that he was about to get tired of going to bed, Li Xin hurriedly pushed him away, helped his hair bun, felt loose, and spread it out again, and said angrily while sitting on the dresser: "Poor and ghostly, hiding in the house in broad daylight, grandpa and sister want to see our jokes." ”

Guan Wen got up from the bed and pushed behind Li Xin, took the wooden hairpin in her hand and helped her plug it in, and said with a smile: "They wish we had a good relationship." ”

The relationship is good, it would be better if I could conceive a baby.

Guan Wen didn't say this. It is fate to have a baby or not, and he is not good at saying that this matter makes his daughter-in-law unhappy. In this life, there is no baby, and he admits it. It's all about fate. If there is a baby, it is naturally a good thing to add to the cake.

Li Xin didn't read the meaning of his words, and now she was still lazy, and her every move was a bit of a woman's charm. Guan Wen was itchy to see it, his head leaned over and stole a piece of incense, Li Xin screamed softly "ah", turned his head and counted: "I haven't seen you so faceless and skinless before, the longer I get there, the more I feel that your calm and heavy is all superficial kung fu......"

"I'm not sinking. Steady. Thick is not thick, heavy is not heavy. Not only you know......"

Guan Wen leaned up and hugged her waist and bit her ear.

It took Li Xin a long time to react to the implication of what he said. Suddenly, his ears turned red, and his hand pinched the iron arm on his waist, and said, "It's not serious, get up." ”

Guan Wen obediently got up and stood behind her and stroked her sideburns: "Before the head, you prepared a dowry for the fourth child to go down to the Hu family and bought a pair of silver earrings, but you don't have anything on yourself, this wooden hairpin has been wearing it since you married me." Guan Wen paused: "Why don't we go on a trip next time and buy some gold and silver jewelry for yourself?" ”

"I don't need that." Li Xin shook his head: "It's just a wooden hairpin, it's not easy to break, even if it's broken, just carve another one." ”

Li Xin turned around and smiled at Guan Wen: "If you have a heart, why don't you carve a pattern for me with your own hands to look better?" ”

Guan Wen was silent for a moment before he replied in a deep voice: "Okay." ”

After tidying up his clothes, Li Xin went to the door bolt and discussed with Guan Wen: "I think Ah Mei's house is a little cold, it was originally in the west, and only when the sun sets, there will be a little sunshine, but at that time, the weather was also cold, and the sun was not strong." ”

"There are few people over there, so my sister lives alone, and it's a little cold. Unlike on our side, our house is next to my grandfather's. Guan Wen also said.

Li Xin said: "So I thought, Ah Mei is a girl's house again, why don't you repair it on top of her house and build more attics, what do you think?" Li Xin paused and asked, "Are there craftsmen in the village who can build attics?" ”

"Yes, yes." Guan Wen thought for a while and said: "It's just that the attic is always a technical job, it's a two-story building, one floor up, and in the case of a house that has already been built, it's always a bit difficult to build it like this, I'm afraid the price will ......."

"It's not a problem in terms of price, we can afford it." Li Xin thought about it and still felt that it was better to build an attic: "People say that the girl's family wants to sit in the embroidery building, although Ah Mei grew up in the village, but she looks different from the girl in the village, and she has never done much farm work in the field." Build an attic, and she and the two sisters can also open more actively. And after winter, those thick quilts and mattresses can find a unified place to rest. ”

While saying that Li Xin thought more: "Otherwise, all the houses in the west will have attics, and there will also be an attic between the stoves." ”

Guan Wen was taken aback: "What are you doing in the attic between the stoves?" ”

"The attic was set up between the stoves to make smoked products." Li Xin's eyes lit up: "Yes, there is an attic between the stoves for smoking meat, and a large attic is set up on top of Ah Mei's row of three rooms, which is sealed into two rooms, one is used to put some sundries, and soft things like quilts can be put in." One was made into a girl's boudoir. ”

"But isn't there a room on the west side that was ordered to be stocked with miscellaneous items earlier?"

The house on the west side Li Xin previously designed to walk from the slope to the side of the hall, which was the stove room, the house of the sisters and sisters, the firewood room, and the vacant room for entertaining guests.

Li Xin said to Guan Wen: "The stove room has been set and can't be changed, but the other rooms can be adjusted, move the firewood room to the farthest back, and vacate the spare room adjacent to Ah Mei's house, which is counted as Ah Xiu's bedroom." Compared to Ah Mei Ah Xiu, it is a very large one, whether it is for the two sisters to play with, or to put quilts and other things. The firewood room below and the attic on the firewood room are larger, whether it is firewood, tables, chairs and benches, or more? ”

Guan Wen thought for a while and asked, "Where is the attic?" Where to get up? ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "The attic entrance of the firewood room is directly opened in the firewood room." As for the attic above Ah Xiu and Ah Mei, because the lower side is not passable, the upper side is open, so we will open a staircase in the middle of their house and go up into a separate door. ”

Guan Wen felt that this was feasible, and still sighed: "But even if you start construction now, it is estimated that it will not be completed during the New Year." Besides, Ah Mei can't go to the attic now, and she will still be cold. ”

It's the same, Li Xin thinks that the attic has big windows on both sides of the east and west, in summer the east and west are open to the window, which is cool, and in the winter, the west side is closed and the east side is opened, there is nothing to block it, and you can bask in the sun.

But there will always be a solution to things, so Li Xin thought and said, "Why don't you dig a fireplace for Ah Mei?" Grandpa said that the charcoal basin was tight enough for him, but the girl didn't like anything gray, and it was not bad to get a fireplace to warm the house.

Guan Wen looked at Li Xin puzzled and said, "Fireplace? Make a stove on the wall? ”

Li Xin coughed and said, "It is to build a stove with a length and width of almost half a person on the wall, and there is a chimney on the stove, just like a stove." ”

There are no earth dragons in the countryside, and it is cold enough in winter. Li Xin doesn't know if he can do it if he thinks about this method, but it's always okay to try it. Guan Wen weighed it carefully, discussed it with Li Xin, and Ming'er went to ask someone if he could get up the attic, and by the way, he talked about the fireplace, and if someone was willing to take the job, then start work.
