After finishing the farm work in the field, Yang Xingwu's family entered a semi-idle state, and they only needed to go to the field every once in a while to weed!

Wang Zhaodi began to take her eldest daughter to learn weaving, and the spinning wheel at home was dusty for half a year, and then began to use it again.

The raw material of summer weaving cloth is ramie, which is also called kenaf by the people in the village, and the kenaf leaves will itch and unbearably when the leaves touch people.

Every summer, every household begins to go to their own fields to harvest hemp, and the first process of collecting hemp is mainly completed by children!

Take a long wooden stick, go to the field and wave a set of Shaolin stick techniques, and beat all the kenaf leaves before harvesting.

Peel off the skin, the kenaf rod has become the new favorite in the hands of the child, soak the kenaf skin in water for a few days, and then scrape the hemp, scrape off the outermost layer of skin, and then place it in the yard to dry, every morning will add water, let the kenaf degum.

After three or four days of drying, remove the kenaf and then carry out the steps of the hemp, after the hemp, and then make the warp and weft for weaving, and then beat, thread, and weave!

Performing hemp is the most patient work, busy on a day may not be able to get two or two hemp, is a test of people's patience and careful, the hot summer coupled with these many tedious things, it is easy to be impetuous, but also easier to quarrel!

It's a cumbersome process, and even when all these things are ready, it takes days to just weave the fabric.

The woven cloth cannot be used directly, otherwise it will be itchy, and it will have to be manually treated, and it will be manually dyed in the later stage.

The clothes worn by Yang Xingwu are woven of this kind of hemp, which is refreshing and breathable in summer, and it is extremely cool; Linen cloth is also known as Xia Bu because the history of linen can be traced back to the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods!

Rural life in the early eighties was actually yeoman farming, everything was self-sufficient.

The importance of the spinning wheel is more important than the sewing machine, the people in the village do not have cloth tickets in their hands, they weave linen cloth in summer and cotton cloth in winter, and the family depends on this spinning wheel for clothing!

Although the cloth ticket has been cancelled, I don't know how long it will take to implement it in their small town!

As for the true good, this thing is slowly becoming more and more, but it is not suitable to wear in summer, mainly because the fabric is not breathable.

The waste materials from weaving clothes will also be left, smeared with paste and dried in the sun, dried one layer, and then pasted a layer, densely pasted with more than a dozen layers, and cut down to make soles after drying, which is what people often call mille-feuille soles!

Most of the household utensils at home come from various crops.

The scoop used for scooping water is a gourd that is planted after harvesting, and then split in half, one for scooping water and the other for scooping noodles.

The brush pot is generally woven with loofah or sorghum ears.

The lid of the pot is woven from sorghum stalks.

The basket is made of wattle strips, and the large broom is made of small bamboo poles, and the small broom has broom grass.

The rope is a rope made from the leaves of a corn cob.

They can be self-sufficient in food and clothing, which is why farmers can survive tenaciously as long as they have a piece of land!

Yang Xingwu stayed at home for a while and saw that he couldn't help, so he went out of the yard and walked around the village.

On the road, I saw many children dancing with hemp poles, shouting that they were heroes, and a group of children were divided into two waves of people to fight around.

Yang Xingwu stopped and looked at it for a while, and found that his two cousins were also inside, and now he looked even more energetic!

"Second brother!"

Yang Xingwu heard the voice, and before he could react, his legs were hugged.

When I looked down, it was the little cousin and the little cousin.

Yang Xingwu held one in one hand and sat in the shade of a tree to watch the play.

"Little Leopard, why don't you go to play this with your eldest brother and second brother?"

"Second brother, what was I about to tell you? They think I'm small, and they can't beat them with me, so they don't take me to play! ”

"Then when you grow up, play with them again! Or play with you about your age! ”

"But I want to play?"

"You're not afraid of being beaten? It's all teenage kids, how old are you? ”

Yang Xingbao listened to the words of the second brother and immediately stopped speaking.

Yang Xingwu turned his head to look at his little cousin and found that she was sitting quietly on the side, fiddling with the dogtail grass in her hand.

"Xiaofeng, why didn't you go to play with your sister Xiaohong?"

"They're going to make sandbags, and I can't run fast!"

"Want a puppy? Second brother will make one for you! ”

"Yes!"

Yang Xiaofeng said and handed a handful of dog tail grass in his hand to Yang Xingwu.

After Yang Xingwu took it, three or two clicks, a lively puppy appeared in front of him.

Yang Xiaofeng's eyes widened, for fear of missing something, and when he saw the "puppy" in the second brother's hand, he was very surprised.

When she saw Yang Xingwu dragging a few grass stems and the puppy moved, she became more and more happy.

"Second brother, you are so powerful, I want to play, I want to play!"

"Okay, I'll hold it for you, hold it with one hand here, hold it with one hand, and the puppy can move with one hand!"

When Yang Xiaofeng heard the words of the second brother, he hurriedly did so, and was excited when he saw that the puppy could really move.

"Second brother, you are so amazing!"

Listening to the praise of his little cousin, Yang Xingwu couldn't be happier.

The three of them sat under the tree and watched the play for a long time, and when they were bored, Yang Xingwu took the two villains to the village for a walk.

Yang Xiaofeng was tired of walking, and she was coquettish towards Yang Xingwu.

Yang Xingwu lifted his little sister with one hand and held her in his arms, and Yang Xiaofeng kicked the two little short legs excitedly.

After walking for a while, Yang Xiaofeng shouted:

"Second brother, I want to eat fragrant rice and fragrant seeds, and a bunch of them are cooked!"

Yang Xingbao, who was following behind, heard this and hurriedly ran to him.

After Yang Xingwu put the little sister down, the two ran to a small tree about the same height as them and picked it up.

After a while, the hands of the two villains could not be stuffed.

Yang Xingwu walked over, Yang Xiaofeng saw that the second brother was also coming, and hurriedly tore open the shell of the fragrant rice fragrant seeds, exposed the flesh, and raised it towards Yang Xingwu and said:

"Second brother, you eat, it's sweet!"

When Yang Xingwu saw this scene, his heart melted.

Immediately squatted down and opened her mouth, so that the little sister could stuff the fruit into her mouth.

When Yang Xiaofeng saw this scene, he hurriedly stuffed the fruit into the second brother's mouth.

"What's going on? Sweet or not? ”

"Sweet, very sweet, you eat it too."

Yang Xingbao picked a lot and stuffed it for the second brother, after Yang Xingwu took it, he tore off the skin and fed it to the two little guys, and he ate one from time to time.

Fragrant rice is a local dialect, and this thing is called mushroom fruit in the northeast and lantern fruit in the south.

When ripe, the outer skin is brown, and the inner fruit is yellow.

This thing is very popular with children, and there is also a plant called nightshade, which grows a fruit that is a bit like a small black grape, with many seeds, and when you eat it, your mouth is full of purple.

It is said that solanine is poisonous, but no one has ever been poisoned!

Yang Xingwu took the two little guys and sat in front of him and didn't leave, wanting to eat and pick two pieces.

Looking at the two cousins, shirtless and barefoot, when they were happy to eat, their calves kicked around.

Yang Xingwu lay on the ground with his hands on his pillow, looking at the sunset, and for a while he had a feeling that the years were quiet!
