"Sixth brother-in-law is so amazing!" Jiang Chunyu exclaimed, looking at Song Jingyun with starry eyes, and at the same time annoyed that his hands were so clumsy that he couldn't do anything well.
His face was almost like an eggplant battered by frost, and he had lost all energy.
"Don't be discouraged, I'll teach you." Song Jingyun saw Jiang Chunyu's dejected look and said.
"Okay." Jiang Chunyu regained his energy and rolled up his sleeves to learn how to make clay puppets.
"Look, first like this, like this, then like this, like this..."
Song Jingyun explained and demonstrated to Jiang Chunyu. After a while, the clay puppet of a little tiger already took shape.
"Have you learned it?" Song Jingyun asked.
Jiang Chunyu, "..."
My eyes seem to be strong, but my hands don’t seem to be strong enough?
---
After working like this for a few days, with the help of Song Jingyun, a little expert in learning, Jiang Michia successfully completed the set of clay puppets of the little tiger, placed them in a cool place to dry, and waited until the time comes to send the drawings to the county town. .
Jiang Chunyu learned to make clay dolls from Song Jingyun every day, but still failed to make a single clay doll.
But he took out a clay bowl.
It's quite a big sea bowl, but from the shape, it looks pretty decent.
After Jiang Chunyu was ready to dry it, he put it in the house and filled it with whatever he wanted. After all, it was something he had worked hard for several days to make, so it would not go to waste.
When Jiang Michia saw this, she felt somewhat regretful.
This clay feels good to the touch. If someone knows how to make pottery and make porcelain, they can put all this clay to use and boost the economy of the entire Jiangjia Village.
But she doesn’t know how to do this. No one in Jiangjia Village or even several nearby villages knows this skill...
This matter can only be thought about.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and every household is getting busy.
The beans and sesame seeds that were planted early are in the harvest season. Cut them with a sickle and put them in the yard to dry enough in the sun to let the beans and sesame seeds fall off the pods. Then beat them with a broom or mallet to ensure All the beans and sesame seeds can fall off, and then all branches and pods are removed, leaving clean beans and sesame seeds.
Jiang Michia's family only planted cobs, and it wasn't time to harvest them yet, so they only helped the eldest brother Jiang Youfu's family with some work. The rest of the time was spent preparing things for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Before August 15th, as usual, I have to go back to my parents' home to bring some soft snacks and mooncakes to honor my parents.
Although Jiang Michia is already married, because she is looking for a son-in-law, this matter is not involved, and Mrs. Liu needs to go back to Liujiazhuang.
Liujiazhuang is in the north of the county, not close to Jiangjia Village. It takes a day to come and go, hurrying and slowly. When you go back, you can only have lunch at home for a long time.
Because of this, Mrs. Liu has always felt a little regretful, feeling that she had too little time to go home to visit her parents.
But this year, because there was no work in the fields, Jiang Michia got married again, and she was no longer stupid, so Mrs. Liu decided to stay at her parents' house for two days before coming back.
Jiang Youcheng naturally did not object, and even proposed to go with Mr. Liu and buy more things at home.
This year, the family is prosperous and has plenty of money. Jiang Youcheng thinks it is natural to show filial piety to his father-in-law's family.
Mrs. Liu felt happy, so she took Jiang Youcheng and hired an ox cart to go to her parents' home.
Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun were not brought.
The reason is that my grandfather’s family doesn’t have many houses. If they all go back, they will have to clear two rooms, and they will live there for several days. My grandfather’s family must be well entertained. It is indeed very troublesome. It is better for the two of them to go back first. We'll go to my grandma's house together during the Chinese New Year.
Normally, when visiting a farmhouse, you have to consider the other party's ability to bear it. If a family of four goes to stay for a short stay, it will indeed cause some trouble for others.
Even if it is my maternal grandfather's house, my grandfather, grandmother, and uncles don't mind, but they still have to think about my aunts' thoughts. This is the sense of propriety that we must have as a human being.
Jiang Michia was quite understanding, and she and Song Jingyun sent Liu and Jiang Youcheng off in the early morning.
Then he and Song Jingyun tidied up the yard and fed the chickens in the backyard.
"Madam, do I need to do something?" Song Jingyun asked.
Because Song Jingyun is now more skilled in weaving than Jiang Youcheng, he has already knitted a lot of bamboo baskets and baskets in the house, enough to sell in two or three markets.
Starting yesterday, Jiang Youcheng asked Song Jingyun to stop and take a rest.
After this break, Song Jingyun really felt a little bored.
"Hmm..." Jiang Michia didn't know what kind of work to give him, and finally thought about it, "Go to the river to pick up a few buckets of water. I'll go to the vegetable field to cut some leeks. Let's eat leek and pork stuffing at noon. dumplings."
The dumplings are delicious.
He likes to eat very much.
"Okay." Song Jingyun nodded happily and went out with the pole and barrel.
Head held high.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he went to the river to fetch water independently, so he must complete the task well.
Let the lady rest assured!
Song Jingyun's feet were full of wind and he walked quickly. When he met the elders from the same village on the way, they all greeted him with a smile.
The people in Jiangjiacun also liked Song Jingyun very much when they saw that Song Jingyun was obedient and courteous since he arrived in Jiangjiacun, and he worked wholeheartedly to make money for Jiang Mixia's family. After saying hello, they all praised her.
Song Jingyun's eyebrows curled up in a smile, and his steps became faster.
After leaving Jiangjiacun, we walked all the way to the river.
At this time, a figure was walking hurriedly along the path in the field.
He stopped from time to time, wiped the sweat from walking too fast, looked at the compass in his hand, and muttered, "The purple air is getting thicker and thicker, it should be this one..." "
As soon as he finished speaking, the man looked up and saw Song Jingyun walking towards him carrying a pole. He was overjoyed and said, "Young Master!"
You know that he never misses his predictions!
Xun Yuanbai almost trotted to Song Jingyun, reached out and grabbed his arm, "I finally found you."
Song Jingyun was suddenly caught by someone and took two steps back in fright. When he saw that the person in front of him was the strange stranger he met at Deyin Temple that day, he was shocked and surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Don't worry about it. I will find your own way." Xun Yuanbai stroked his beard and smiled in a secretive manner.
Seeing the strange man in front of him smiling sinisterly and cunningly, Song Jingyun was alert all over, and he even tightened his grip on the pole in his hand, "I'm telling you, this is near Jiangjiacun, and I'm from Jiangjiacun, so don't try to do anything wrong." Just give me an idea and someone from the village will come to help."
"You know, please leave quickly, otherwise, I will call my wife, my wife is very powerful, be careful she beats you into a pig head!"
