Chapter 93: Making Paper Kites

It's good to pickle the sauerkraut, Su Xiaoxia feels that the weather is good today, it's not very hot, and there is also wind, which is very suitable for kite flying.

None of the three little ones in the family had ever flown kites, and she thought that she would have nothing to do today anyway, so she would just make kites for them.

She actually didn't fly kites, no one cared about them when she was a child, and she didn't have extra money to buy kites, and she couldn't make them herself, so she could only envy other people's children for kites every time.

When you get a little older, even if you like kites, you won't fly them, because your peers are learning all kinds of skills to prepare for going out of society in the future, and at that time there is no one to fly kites together.

The boredom of these days made Su Xiaoxia want to find something to do, so she just made a kite.

Sanbao saw his mother in and out, still holding a lot of things in his hands, one moment it was bamboo paper, and then he went into the kitchen to boil it and didn't know what it was, and then he sat on a stool in the yard and began to tinker.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Sam Bao walked over and asked curiously, she really wanted to know how her mother had a lot of novel ideas all day long, and now the things that her mother was tinkering with looked interesting.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxia said with a smile: "My mother wants to make something for you to see, and my mother will play with you later!" ”

When Sanbao heard this, he sat aside with a curious face and did not disturb.

And Su Xiaoxia wrote on the paper, and then put it aside to dry the ink.

Immediately after that, the bamboo was broken and cut into bamboo strips, and then carefully polished and processed to make a kite skeleton.

After doing this, she started making kite strings.

This thread is the thread that users at home use to sew and mend clothes, although it is easy to break, but as long as a few more threads are rubbed together, it is OK.

Su Xiaoxia's hands-on ability is also very strong, and she quickly kneaded the thread.

Because Sanbao has been watching from the side, she can't go to the space to rub the string, if she enters the space, this time difference can make the kite string quickly kneaded.

But it's not in the way now, and there's plenty of time.

When the string was finished, she began to wrap the string around the kite while sticking it.

This first kite, she made it in the shape of a butterfly, and when she got these up, she began to paint some ink paintings on it, after all, there was only black ink at home, there was no other paint, and she couldn't paint anything else.

In fact, kites were first divided into three categories, soft-winged kites, hard-winged kites, and board kites, which are actually the same as the name, and the meaning is easy to distinguish.

For example, a kite with soft wings is mostly made into a relief in the main skeleton, and there are single-layered, double-layered and multi-layered differences in the skeleton, while the main wing is composed of a main wing, and the second half of the wing is soft.

The skeleton of the hard-winged kite is made of two bamboo strips, the edges of the two sides are high, the middle is slightly concave, and the front end of the wings is tilted backwards, so that the wind can escape from the front end of a pair of wings.

As for the board kite, it is a flat kite, which is a flat like the board, and the main body of the force is the whole piece, without any convex parts, and the four sides of the kite are supported by bamboo strips, which is simple to make.

Su Xiaoxia is now making board kites, although they look very upright, and there are no wings that dance with the wind when they fly into the sky like soft-winged kites, but for people who have never played kites, board kites are already very good.

And there aren't a lot of materials at home, so it's a bit difficult to make other types of kites.

If the materials are sufficient, let alone making kites, even a wooden kite can figure it out, but she is not a master of Luban, and she is not very proficient in these carpentry jobs, so she can only do something that she knows and is familiar with.

In ancient times, kites, also known as paper kites, had a particularly nice name.

When Su Xiaoxia made the first swallow kite, she could see that Sanbao's eyes were so shocked that they were about to fall to the ground, and the corners of her mouth were wide open and couldn't close.

However, there is still a spool left, so I simply replaced it with a wooden stick, that is, when I was released, there was a little trouble, and I had to manually turn the wooden stick.

"Mother, what is this?" Sanbao came down from the wooden pier, and after coming over, he directly threw himself at Su Xiaoxia's feet, knelt on the ground, and looked curious, "Mother, this is ...... Big Bird? ”

"This is called a swallow, this is a paper kite, also known as a kite, we can put it in the sky." Su Xiaoxia explained.

Hearing this, Sanbao grabbed Su Xiaoxia's knees, looking well-behaved and cute, and his eyes were full of curiosity, "Swallow...... Kite...... Fly? Can fly...... How to fly? ”

"Come, mother will teach you."

Su Xiaoxia came to the yard, found a place, looked at the sky, then tried the wind direction and wind, and began to slowly put the paper kite into the sky, after all, it was the first time to put the paper kite, so she was also a little nervous, worried that she would not be able to fly.

Fortunately, this paper kite is still quite face-saving, not only flying, but also flying higher and higher.

However, because the length of the kite string is limited, it is not possible to continue to fly up.

"Swallow!" Sanbao suddenly screamed, and his little face was excited, "The swallow made by my mother flew to the sky!" ”

When Shen Lan heard the voice, she also poked her head out: "What flew into the sky?" ”

When she saw the paper kite in Su Xiaoxia's hand, she was shocked: Xiaoxia actually made paper kites?! Xiaoxia also played with paper kites?

In order to verify that she was not mistaken, Shen Lan walked out of the utility room.

And Erbao, who heard the call of the three treasures on the east side, also walked out, looking at the things in Su Xiaoxia's hand, his eyes lit up, his eyes were full of desire, he stared at the sky, and stretched out his hand into the house to beckon: "Brother!" Eldest brother! Come and see! ”

Something that can fly! That bad woman can make flying things! Even Daddy wouldn't do it!

When Xu Dabao heard this, he limped out.

When he saw the paper kite flying in the sky, he was not only shocked, but also longed, he also longed to become such a free, free flying thing, unrestrained......

But at this time, Xu Dabao saw a thread wrapped around the paper kite, and one end of this thread was Su Xiaoxia's hand.

Xu Dabao: "......"

Forget it, he still doesn't want to become that thing, and he has to be led by Su Xiaoxia all the time, which is not free.

"Big brother, what do you say is that? Why do you fly? Erbao stood at the door and asked Xu Dabao beside him suspiciously.

"I don't know." Xu Dabao shook his head, he hadn't seen this thing before, "You can go and ask her." ”

"I'm afraid she won't say it!" Erbao pouted, "This bad woman didn't call me for doing this funny thing, she only had Sanbao in her eyes, and she didn't treat me as her son, so she was biased!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Dabao glanced at him, "Then you don't necessarily treat others as your mother?" ”

When Erbao said this, he couldn't use his brain, a little prescient? What a tsundere's stupid brother!
