Chapter 973: Tie the lantern

"Baba, what about grandma and second father?"

When Jiang Shan came back, she didn't see Wang Xiuju, Jiang Xiaoqing and others, so she couldn't help asking.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "They clean up in the back. ”

Jiang Shan let out an "oh" and said, "Baba, grandpa, grandma, uncle, and second father all have things to do, what do we do?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "I'm also thinking about doing something, and I'll think of it as soon as you come back." ”

Jiang Shan Gege smiled: "That's great, Baba said, what are we going to do?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai didn't say it directly, and beckoned Jiang Shan to go with him.

He went to the stove house first and got a sickle.

"Baba, what are you doing with the scythe?" Jiang Shan asked in surprise.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Let's go cut a bamboo." ”

"Okay!" Jiang Shan said with a smile: "Baba chopping bamboo, do you want to make bows and arrows again?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and suddenly looked a little dazed.

It was on April 1, when he was just reborn, that he went to the Houyang ditch of the old house to cut bamboo to make bows and arrows, and it was with his homemade bow and arrows that he went up the mountain to hunt, and after he caught a few rabbits, pheasants and a muntjac, and sold them to state-run restaurants in the city, he let his wife and daughter eat their first meat.

He thought that after so long, his daughter had forgotten about it.

I didn't expect my daughter to remember.

smiled: "Do you remember the bow and arrow made by Dad?" ”

Jiang Shan nodded: "I remember very clearly, Baba hunted with a bow and arrow, and made meat for me and Ma Ma to eat." ”

sighed like a little adult: "Alas...... But then I didn't see the bow and arrows of Baba! ”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at her daughter dotingly and said, "If you like it, Baba will make one for you again!" ”

Jiang Shan immediately became happy: "Okay, Baba not only wants to make me a bow and arrow, but also teaches me archery." ”

"Okay!"

Jiang Xiaobai agreed with a smile.

Archery is also a sport, and he doesn't mind teaching her if she likes it.

Anyway, as long as his daughter likes it, he plays with her.

"That's great, let's go chop the bamboo!" Seeing that her father agreed, Jiang Shan was overjoyed and said urgingly.

Jiang Xiaobai took Jiang Shan out of the backyard and walked to the right side of the cliff.

On the left side of the cliff is the Qingjiang River, and on the right side is a mountain forest with a large bamboo forest growing on it.

It's convenient to cut bamboo.

Jiang Xiaobai originally only planned to cut a small bamboo, but his daughter wanted to make a bow and arrow, so he chose a bamboo with the thickness of a water cup.

To make a bow and arrow for her daughter, you don't need to hunt, you just use it as a toy, and you don't need a big bamboo.

Jiang Shan noticed it at a glance, and said in a milky voice: "Baba, the bamboo you cut is not as big as last time." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Make a bow and arrow for you, you don't need to make a big bow, otherwise you won't be able to pull it." ”

"Daddy made you a little bow!"

"Okay!" Jiang Shan reluctantly accepted, who called himself still weak?

After Jiang Xiaobai cut the bamboo, he shaved off the branches and bamboo tips in the bamboo forest, and only carried a bamboo pole more than a foot long to go home.

When he entered the door, Jiang Xiaolei happened to come out of a house, saw Jiang Xiaobai coming back with a piece of bamboo, and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing with bamboo?" ”

Jiang Shan said proudly: "Make me a bow and arrow!" ”

When Jiang Xiaolei heard that he was a bow and arrow, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Big brother, are you going hunting again?" ”

"Take me! Take me! ”

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless for a while, how could it be that not only his daughter remembered him hunting, but even his younger brother remembered.

"I'm not going to hunt, I'm going to make lanterns!" Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to say truthfully: "Well, by the way, make Shanshan a small bow for her to play with." ”

"Make lanterns?"

"Baba, do you still make lanterns?"

Jiang Xiaolei and Jiang Shan said in unison, both of them were very surprised.

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "It's the New Year, hang two lanterns at the door, festive!" ”

"That's great, Baba, you're going to make two big lanterns!" Jiang Shan said excitedly.

Jiang Xiaolei said: "Big brother, I want to learn to make lanterns with you." ”

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at him: "Didn't Mom tell you to clean up?" Done? ”

Jiang Xiaolei suddenly complained: "Big brother, I'm almost tired from cleaning my waist, and it's not fun at all, I'll go with you to make lanterns." ”

"Well, it's better to make me a big bow too, and tomorrow we'll go up the mountain to hunt and see if we can catch a muntjac!"

Jiang Xiaobai almost laughed out loud, how could the muntjac be so easy to hit?

However, he didn't intend to laugh at the younger brother, but said: "Now there is no shortage of meat at home, don't hunt if you can hunt game, if you like hunting, you can have fun." ”

After all, young people still have to have the dream of chasing deer, and hunting is very able to exercise the body, and at the same time can also cultivate one's patience and agility.

Therefore, he did not object to the younger brother having this hobby.

Jiang Xiaolei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then you make me a big bow." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "After you finish cleaning, go and cut a larger bamboo yourself, and I'll teach you to do it." ”

"Good, good!"

Jiang Xiaolei agreed, nodded like pounded garlic, and immediately turned around and entered a house to start cleaning.

Compared with the previous listlessness, he was full of vitality at this time, and his movements were fast, and he couldn't wait to finish the cleaning as quickly as possible.

People are like this, only when they are motivated, they can be energetic when they do things, and they don't feel tired when they're tired, and they don't feel bitter. On the other hand, if people are not motivated to do things, it is really torture.

Jiang Xiaobai saw that Jiang Xiaolei entered the house with great energy, shook his head, and took Jiang Shan back to the front yard.

He first went to find a saw, cut the bamboo pole into several sections, one section of bamboo for Jiang Shan to make a bow and arrow, and the rest was used to tie lanterns.

"Baba, I'll move you a chair."

Jiang Shan opened her calves, ran into the living room quickly, and moved a chair out.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Xiaobai sat on the chair, feeling very warm, her daughter is so good, she is caring, and asked with a smile: "Do we make bows and arrows or tie lanterns first?" ”

"Let's tie the lantern first!" Jiang Shan said.

"Okay, then tie the lantern first!" Jiang Xiaobai agreed with a smile.

To tie a lantern, you first have to weave a frame of the lantern, and then paste the lantern paper on the outside.

Jiang Xiaobai used a sickle to break the bamboo, began to cut the slivers, and began to weave after finishing.

The pot-bellied round lantern is very simple, Jiang Xiaobai weaves it quickly, and the skeleton of a lantern is woven in about twenty minutes.

The lantern looks not small, about 50 centimeters high, and looks like a flat ball, but with two small, short cylindrical cylinders on top and bottom.

"Baba, is this done?"

Jiang Shan squatted aside, looked at the skeleton of the lantern and asked.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Just paste the red paper later." ”

There was no preparation before, so the lantern paper was not available, and it had to be replaced with red paper.
