The longer part was held in Fu Jingyou's hand, and he was very skillful, and after carefully measuring the thickness of the bamboo wall, he used a firewood knife to draw a shallow circle of marks on the outer part, and slowly cut it along the circle of traces.

The heavy and scribbled firewood knife is like an embroidery needle, and in Fu Jingyou's hands, it is not only "well-behaved and obedient", but also more flexible.

After more than half an hour of busy work, the mouth of the bamboo cup was thinned, and Fu Jingyou modified the "lid" again, trying to buckle the two together, although it was a little jerky when buckled up, but a buckle lid cup made entirely of bamboo itself also basically showed the prototype.

I found a fine sand stone to carefully polish the cup mouth and bottle cap, and then tried to buckle the lid again, and the jerky feeling faded a lot in an instant, but even so, Fu Jingyou still felt that something was missing.

What is it?

Fu Jingyou held the rough bamboo cup and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly realized.

Filling the pot with water, he lit a fire to boil water, and at the same time carefully scraped off the bamboo green on the surface of the bamboo tube cup with a firewood knife, and waited for the bamboo tube cup to completely turn into a light yellow mixed with light green color, he put it into the pot in the boiling water and boiled it for a while.

After scooping it up, Fu Jingyou wrapped the cup in a rag and took it to the wooden manhole cover of the well outside to dry.

At noon, when the sun was big, basically waiting for the bamboo cup to fade to the boiling heat, and the water on it had almost evaporated, Fu Jingyou had been staring intently, and when he saw the situation, he took out the oil pot and dripped a few drops of raw oil on it.

Don't look at the oil dripping on it, it is completely enough to moisten the whole cup, and as long as this step is properly controlled, it can not only polish the cup, but also keep the cup a good-looking and shiny color for a long time, but also play a better role in preventing insects and corrosion.

Fu Jingyou is very patient and determined to do his best, Lu Miao's lunch break, he kept pinching the cup and rubbing it slowly, slowly kneading, and finally molded the cup to a more preferred state before going to work.

Wipe off the oil slick on the surface of the cup, he tried it with water, the cup will slowly leak out a small stream of water when it is tilted for more than a while, although it is not perfect, but carefully, it is still no problem to use it as water for the lower belt.

Fu Jingyou was careful, glanced at Lu Miao's white hand, thinking that it was not so convenient to hold it with his hand all the time, he thought about it, and went to the front room to get a small bundle of hemp.

Draw water to soak the hemp, on the spot now rub out a handful of fine hemp rope, he twisted the hemp rope sticking to the periphery of the bamboo cup to weave a net bag that can be carried and carried, and then carried the net bag to hang the cup in the air and shook it, and looked at it seriously for a long time, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

That's pretty much it.

You can carry it on your back when you go out with water, but you don't want to carry it in the field, just find a gentle place and put it safely......

Filling the cup with hot water and putting it on the small table next to the recliner, Fu Jingyou patted off the bamboo crumbs on his body, pinched the moment the production team blew out the whistle to work, took the sharp shoulder outside the door, and went to the ground steadily.

The bamboo cup is not very large, but it is still obvious that it is placed so abruptly on the bare small table.

Lu Miao woke up from a nap and turned over with a sense of getting up, one eye was still closed on his arm, and the other eye was still dazed, filling the bamboo cup in a daze.

At first, she was a little stunned, but then her thoughts returned, she sat up, slowly took the cup and looked at it.

The cup was made by hand, basically brand new, and Fu Jingyou put the chain on the table to remind her of the matter of locking the door, Lu Miao quickly understood that this cup was also prepared for her by Fu Jingyou.

The smooth and all-over bean paste yellow cup, the more Lu Miao looked at it, the more she liked it, and quickly tidied up the hemp rope in the net pocket, Lu Miao put the cup on her shoulder, put on her shoes, and went down to find Fu Jingyou.

Bypassing the front house of the Fu family from the side, on the threshing floor near the side of the Fu family, there were already a lot of bundles of rice piles piled up.

With just a glance, Lu Miao knew that those were the fruits of Fu Jingyou's labor when she was asleep.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, standing under the sun, people can't wait to be sunburned, working under the sun, or this kind of heavy physical work, it is conceivable that Fu Jingyou has hard work......

Lu Miao took a deep breath, I don't know why, my mood was suddenly very complicated.

When Fu Jingyou was found in the field, most of the two adjacent paddy fields had been vacated at that time, and there were no more bundles of rice left to be picked up.

Thinking of his own lightness and Fu Jingyou's hard work, Lu Miao silently handed Fu Jingyou water, and for a while stood on the ridge with a small face and didn't know what to say.

What she was thinking, Fu Jingyou didn't know, and even if she knew, she would only think that this was a normal thing.

Lu Miao's job is to herd the cattle, cut the rice, or pick the rice, it is none of her business at all.

After drinking a few sips of water in the air, Fu Jingyou's chest heat was temporarily relieved, he buckled the lid, and repeatedly handed the cup to Lu Miao, "Seeing that you don't have a serious drinking tank, use this in the future." ”

"Oh."

Lu Miao nodded sullenly, she was in a bad mood, and she looked wilted.

Fu Jingyou's gown was all drenched with sweat, and the back of his waist was even dripping.

Raising his arm and rubbing his sweat, his eyes scanned the surrounding fields, and finally landed on Lu Miao.

The little girl is wilted and has no spirits, how awkward it looks.

Fu Jingyou felt upset, thinking that it should be because the weather was too hot.

Picking millet back and forth, he didn't stay by the lake for much time, and he didn't feel at ease when he left Lu Miao here alone.

Fu Jingyou just wanted to say that he was going to take a cow, and asked Lu Miao to follow him back first, but before he could say anything, on the path not far away, an uncle ran over with a straw hat:

"Oh, here, here! It's been found. ”

The uncle ran closer, holding his knees with both hands and panting, and the wet gown on his body was not much better than Fu Jingyou, "Cow, cow...... Comrade educated youth, the team and the team want to use a cow, and I will take this cow away first! ”

Now it is a race against time, and the back mountain has been cleaned up according to the corners of the pond, according to He Hongjin's meaning, that is, while it is still early, quickly lead the oxen over and plow the ground out.

When there is still a little free time in these two days, the late rice seeds harvested in the second half of the year can be sown and cultivated as soon as possible.

Uncle came over to fetch the cow, and from what he said, Lu Miao also heard some overtones, to the effect that from today onwards, the team will start to use the cow one after another, and then she will not need to herd the cow.

During the busy farming period, the amount of labor of cattle is no less than that of people, except for the morning, noon and evening to take out to drink water and pull poop, in addition to work, the team will arrange concentrate for cattle to eat.

The so-called concentrate is to mix corn, soybeans and other coarse grains into the forage, and the cattle can eat solidly and have the energy to work.
