"They're all reading in the backyard study. The two little ones went to herd the cows with the little grandson of your second grandfather's house."

Farm children, as long as they can go out, can help the family with their work. While grazing the cows, you can also get some hogweed.

Qixun went out the door and asked the aunt to go back: "It's muddy outside, don't get your shoes dirty, and go back."

Uncle Guo smiled and said, "It's not going out to visit relatives. Who still wears shoes at home? What are you afraid of getting dirty?"

Seeing that the shoes on Qixun's feet were all open, he hurriedly said, "Where can you still wear these shoes? I think you don't have ready-made soles at home. It just so happens that the soles are ready at home, so I'll go get you two. Shuanglai, let your mother make you new shoes."

There are younger cousins ​​who are about the same age as her, and she can use the soles prepared for them.

Qi Xun didn't want to wear open shoes all the time, so he responded: "I will ask Xiao Wu to embroider a pencil case for Brother Lingzhou, and I will use it when Tong Sheng has a test tomorrow."

Mingchun Lingzhou plans to end the game, her father said that he is very sure to be admitted to the Tongsheng Xiucai.

When the auntie heard this, she was really happy: "Then I have to ask your brother to thank you for going back."

When the aunt took the sole of the shoe, Qi Xun went back.

As a result, they arrived at the head of the village, and met the grandson of the eldest grandfather's family, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi, and the youngest grandson of the second grandfather's family, Xiaoba, and returned to the village.

One of Xiaoba and Xiaojiu led the cow, the other carried the basket, and Xiaoshi sat on the cow. It looks very relaxed.

Seeing Qixun, Xiao Jiu called at Qixun, "Miss Xiaoxun, where did you call from?"

"From your house, why haven't you come to my house to play in the past two days?"

Xiao Shi said on the back of the cow: "My grandfather asked me to herd the cow. I'll go look for you to play when I'm free."

Yo, the little guy is quite busy.

Qixun looked at people sitting on the back of a cow, not to mention her arrogance, she was very envious. She was good at equestrian, but she had never ridden a cow before. She didn't know what it was like to be a little shepherd boy, but unfortunately there were no cows at home.

Seeing her envious face, the shepherd boy Xiao Shi was very proud: "Sister Xun, do you also want to ride a cow? Then you go to herd the cow with me tomorrow."

While talking, he took out his cloth pocket, took out a few dried wild fruits, and greeted Qixun: "Miss Xiaoxun, this is the fruit we found at the foot of the mountain, for you to eat."

The little guy is quite generous.

Qixun smiled and said, "Sister won't eat it. Come back to your house. I'll give you fresh dates and persimmons. It's very sweet."

The little guys didn't ask why there were fresh fruits in this season, they just cheered: "Then you keep it for us, and you will give it to us tomorrow when we let the cattle pass by your house."

It's done.

After saying goodbye to the three little guys, Qixun returned home and went to the well to wash the soybeans and mung beans. Seven pounds of soybeans were soaked to make tofu.

After soaking the beans, she went to the well to fetch water, cleaned the small stone at home, and went back to grind the beans.

After washing, she went to Zuo's house again, and asked her grandfather to help her rub four hemp ropes, and then went back to hang the gauze to think that the bean paddles would be used.

Grandpa Zuo smiled and said, "You don't need to rub it now, it's available at home."

He called Grandma to find the rope, and asked Qixun to take it.

Qixun took the rope home, and went to the carpenter's house in the village to have someone make a wooden basket mold for her to press tofu.

In fact, if she has the tools, she can do it herself. A few boards around this thing can be nailed, and it is very fast.

The carpenter's family is also surnamed Yan, called Yan Yonghui. Although he has five clothes, he is of the same clan, and his blood relationship is not far away. He is older than Qixun. uncle.

He and the eldest son went out to work for others, while the youngest son Yan Lingfeng was at home.

Hearing that Qixun was going to make a wooden basket board for pressing tofu, and after seeing Qixun's drawing with woodworking charcoal on the scene, Yan Lingfeng said, "I can do this, it can be done in an hour, you can come and get it later. "

Qixun also wanted to ask how much a set of woodworking tools cost.

He said, "Brother Lingfeng, I'll help you. I didn't bring any money. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. How much does it cost to make these baskets?"

The whole village now knows what happened to their house in a fire.

Yan Lingfeng smiled and said: "It doesn't cost anything, just use scraps to make boards. What kind of money do you charge? Just take it and use it. Besides, I haven't graduated yet, so it's hard to get paid for woodworking."

Yan Lingfeng really didn't take it seriously, the waste wood was really worthless, that is, it took a little time. Right now he is idle.

Besides, the family originally said that each family gathered two catties of grain for Qixun's family, but her family didn't ask for it. He just thought that these wooden baskets were the few kilograms of grain that should be produced.

The people of the clan should help each other, and after Uncle Yongwu was raised, there are many benefits that cannot be seen in the clan. If Uncle Yongwu could be a high school jinshi in the next spring, they would be able to straighten their backs in the future, not to mention the town, but the county seat.

If he took money from Xiaoxun's sister in several baskets, who would he be?

Qixun thought for a while, but didn't insist. When the tofu was ready, he would go back and give Brother Lingfeng two pieces to taste.

Yan Lingfeng picked the wood and started to work.

Qixun helped him draw the ink line and asked him, "Brother Lingfeng, how much money does a full set of woodworking tools cost? Where can I buy them?"

"It's better. It costs seven or eight taels of silver, right? The town doesn't sell very well. If it's better, I have to go to the county to buy it. Why are you asking this? The little girl still wants to learn carpentry?"

Yan Lingfeng teased her.

"I'll ask."

She can't say, in fact, she does a good job in woodworking, right? She actually has a full set of power tools in her space.

For a while, she fell in love with manual work and made a lot of models herself. The craftsmanship is not her boast, it is not worse than the traditional old artist.

When I save money, I will go to the county seat to buy a set. Make the spinning wheel first.

The wooden baskets were quickly made, and a total of two large and one small three templates were made, plus a cross hanger for hanging soy milk. Yan Lingfeng saw that she couldn't take it home by herself, so she packed up the tools and carried it by herself. : "Let's go, my brother will send it back to you."

After returning home, Gongyu Mingxi realized that the girl had gone to find someone to do her work without a word. Knowing that she didn't have a single copper on her body, she quickly asked Yan Lingfeng, "Boy Feng, how much money do you need? I'll take it for you."

In fact, the family now has a total of about 20 copper coins, and I still don't know if it is enough to pay for the wood and labor.

Yan Lingfeng waved his hand: "It took a while to make it out of scraps. I haven't even graduated yet, so I can't take money. If I want to charge you, tell my father to scold me. It's my gift to Xiaoxun. My sister's. Auntie, I'll go back first, my mother is out, I have to go back to watch the door."

Gongyu Mingxi couldn't tell him to go out empty-handed, he hurriedly took twenty eggs and put them in a small basket: "Your brother Hao went to the mountains to find a basket yesterday, our family can't eat them, you take them back and cook them. eat."

Where is Yan Lingfeng willing to accept it, he pushed it for a while, seeing that he couldn't push it, so he accepted it.

After sending Yan Lingfeng away, Qixun went to wash the mold basket and put it on the air vent to dry. Then he went back to the house and asked Gongyu Mingxi: "Mother, can you make me a pair of shoes first?"

She was opened by the shoes, not to mention ugly, Guan Jian is really inconvenient to walk.

Gongyu Mingxi smiled and said, "With the soles from your auntie, I can make them for you in half a day tomorrow morning. It's getting colder and colder today, so I'll just make you cotton shoes. One pair of thin cotton, one pair of cotton shoes. Be thicker. Can it be done?"

Very accomplished.

Qixun then said to Lingyu: "The aunt gave me the soles of the shoes, and I also said to make a pencil case for Brother Lingzhou. But I think that the pencil case made of cloth is more convenient to carry, Xiaowu, you are good at embroidering, you can do it when you have time. Can you embroider one for me?"

Just embroidered a pen bag, Lingyu said it was no problem.

There are scraps of fabric at home, but no colored threads. But you have to do what you say.

Gongyu Mingxi said: "When I have time to go to town to buy some silk thread, I will let Xiao Wu help you embroider."

Well, you also need silver to buy silk thread.

silver. This is a really sad subject.
