Chapter 16: Straw mat weaving

Li Shulan took the children to thank the villagers.

Everyone fought for righteousness, and one by one they went up the mountain to collect firewood with a smile on their faces.

Put things back in the kitchen.

Li Shulan gave the two children a lecture for the first time.

At the same time, the three brothers and sisters should remember that no matter what happens in the future, they must put their personal safety first.

Don't let yourself get hurt because of something.

Li Shulan personally inspected the injuries on the second child's body.

Fortunately, it was all flesh damage, which looked terrible but did not hurt the internal organs and bones.

She went out to find herbs and came back to make ointment and help the second child apply it on her body.

Not for a while.

He didn't feel the pain, and he was jumping lively......

"Boss, Rong'er!"

Li Shulan untied the tightly bundled dry straw, "You come over to help, see if you see it, you have to sort out the dry straw like me."

Be sure to make it neat, tear off the broken parts, and then put them aside and put them away so that they can't be thrown around. ”

As she spoke, she sorted out a small handful of dry straw, "See, it's like this, it's very simple, you can do it well." ”

"Got it, mother!"

"Mother, I'll get it."

The brother and sister stepped forward and followed the dry straw.

"Mother, I'll help too."

Su Wenxuan ran over, "I can do it well!" ”

"Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

Li Shulan looked at him, "If you feel uncomfortable, take a good rest first." ”

"No, it doesn't hurt at all."

Su Wenxuan touched his belly with a smile, "Mother's ointment is very useful, it is very comfortable to apply cold and cold, and my stomach will not hurt hot." ”

"Okay, you can do it, stop and rest if you don't feel well."

"Got it, mother."

"Well, boss, you look at the second child and Rong'er."

Li Shulan confessed: "I'll go pick the rest back, and when I come back, I'll weave a straw mat." ”

"Good!"

Su Wenxi nodded.

Thereupon.

Li Shulan turned around and went out with a long bamboo pole.

When she came back again.

The dry straw was almost sorted out by their brother and sister.

Li Shulan didn't care about resting.

Sit down and weave the mat directly.

The dried straw is divided into small handfuls and then connected like braided twists.

Li Shulan's speed is not only fast, but also beautiful.

Su Qiaorong couldn't help but exclaim, "Beautiful, the straw mat made by my mother is so beautiful!" ”

"It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful straw mat."

Su Wenxuan nodded, and his tone was full of surprise: "It's so thick, it will definitely be very comfortable to sleep on it." ”

"It's not thick."

Li Shulan spoke while weaving the straw mat, "The straw mat will deform after sleeping for a long time, from thick to thin, but we can put a few more layers, which is not only warm but also not easy to become thin." ”

"Mother, I'll help you make it up."

Su Wenxi looked at it for a while and felt that it should be easy to get started.

"You don't have to do it, I'll make it up quickly."

After the straw mat that had just been made was put away, Li Shulan said again: "Boss, you and the second child go into the house and clean up the hay under the bed, and we can lay out the new straw mat later." ”

"Yes."

Su Wenxi got up, "Second brother, come with me." ”

"Okay!"

The two brothers entered the house to take a look.

Su Qiaorong sat on the side and obediently handed straw to her mother.

The whole family is working together.

The two beds were quickly covered with a thick straw mat.

Li Shulan's visual inspection is at least about ten centimeters, and there will definitely be no more backlash.

The little ones were very satisfied.

……

After dinner.

The family sat in the courtyard.

Su Qiaorong, who didn't take a nap, leaned on her mother's side and fell asleep.

When Li Shulan found out, she quickly took her into her arms......

"Boss, second, you can put thatch on the roof tomorrow."

deliberately lowered his voice and discussed with the two brothers, "I don't have a decent piece of furniture at home, do you want to go to your carpenter's uncle's house to buy some back?" ”

"Mother, is the silver enough?"

Su Wenxuan glanced at his brother, with a little hesitation in his tone.

"Of course it's enough."

Li Shulan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, looking at their brothers, "If I don't think it's too eye-catching, I want to ask someone to build a new house for our family." ”

"Each of your brothers has a bedroom, and you can also have a study room for you to study, as well as a main hall...... When guests come, they don't have to greet people in the yard. ”

Hearing these descriptions, the two brothers couldn't help but show anticipation.

"It's a pity that we can't do that now, otherwise it would be too noticeable."

Li Shulan smiled helplessly, "If we can't build a new house, we will buy some furniture and come back, the house can't be empty all the time, and there is nothing to use." ”

"If you want to buy furniture, you can buy it, Uncle Dazhi's house has a lot of furniture for sale."

The second child didn't care.

He asked in a puzzled tone: "Mother, why can't we build a new house if our family has money?" ”

"Second brother, it's definitely not right now."

Su Wenxi knew how much silver he had, and he was very calm.

At a young age, his eyes flashed with wisdom, "The whole village is staring at our family, and every move will be watched.

Mother's embroidery skills are excellent, embroidery sold to embroidery villages, which everyone knows, our days are slowly getting better, but it is absolutely impossible to be rich. ”

"What's this, didn't we sell the ginseng, there must be money!"

The second child couldn't help but scratch his head.

He looked at his eldest brother and then at his mother, "Mother, eldest brother, can't others know about selling ginseng?" ”

"It's better not to let people know."

Li Shulan glanced at her eldest son, "Don't mention the others, you brothers should know who those people in the Su family's old mansion are."

If you knew that we orphans and widows had so much money, you think they would let us go?

Maybe your grandmother rushed over and destroyed our house as soon as she heard the news, believe it or not? ”

"That'...... We can't live in a broken house all the time. ”

Su Wenxuan's gaze couldn't help but fall on his brother, "Big brother, can you think of a way to tell grandparents to ignore our family's affairs?" ”

"Do you think it's possible?"

Su Wenxi felt that his younger brother was so naΓ―ve, and looked at him speechlessly, "We just broke up with our grandparents and didn't break off."

When the family was first separated, the uncle and the third uncle and the fourth uncle asked us to give our grandparents ten taels of silver every year for filial piety, otherwise we would not have been able to share this thatched hut. ”

"If you don't give it, you won't give it to you even if you have money."

When it came to those people in the old mansion, the second child couldn't help but show an angry face, "Su Dasheng (cousin) pointed at my nose that day and said that our brother and sister are no longer from the Su family.

Don't want to eat a mouthful of food from their house again, we deserve to starve to death, who told us to have no father......"

"Second brother!"

Su Wenxi's face gradually sank, and there was a faint coldness in his tone, "Why didn't you tell me about this?" ”

"So what."

Twisting his head to the side, Su Wenxuan said sullenly: "Can you beat him again?" Last time, he pushed Rong'er to the ground, so angry that I punched him, and grandma chased me with a stick! ”

"They...... Dare to ...... like this"

Su Wenxi's eyes were red, and his voice was getting colder and colder, "I Su Wenxi will keep this matter in my heart, and I will ...... in the future We'll see! ”
