Father Chen and Chen Chunni worked for a day, and their physical exertion was too great, so they were very hungry, so they ate the sweet potatoes and vegetable dumplings after dividing them by two, and even drank the soup.At the end, it's still unfinished!
However, there was not much food at home, and although the two were still very hungry, they didn't dare to eat more, so they just poured water and drank hard.After eating, it is a rare free time, and Daddy Chen usually uses this time to weave something out of reed silk to sell.The tidal flats near Yanqita Village are all owner-owned, but the reeds growing outside the village have no owner, so the villagers of Yanqita Village will occasionally make reeds to make a little money in addition to drying salt.In winter, the villagers of Yanqita village will talk about harvesting and baling the withered reeds, and then storing them at home and taking them as they please.The reeds are full of treasures, the reed roots can cure diseases, Father Chen is sick, he doesn't know what the disease is, anyway, he soaks the reed roots every day to drink, Sima is a live horse doctor.Reed leaves can be used as firewood for firewood, but Yanqita Village lacks mountains and forests, so most of the villagers use reed leaves or poles for cooking and heating.The reed flowers were used by these poor people as cotton to sew winter clothes and quilts.The use of reed poles is greater, and after splitting fine, it can be woven into various reed mats, reed curtains, reed baskets, reed hats, baskets, cooking utensils, and other daily necessities.Although because there are many reeds here, this thing is cheap when there are too many, and the reed products cannot be sold for much money, and most of them are also made for their own use.But occasionally with good luck, you can also buy some out and make a little money, not much money, just enough to buy some needles and threads or something.Daddy Chen is weaving a reed curtain today, which is also called a curtain, which is generally hung at the door to block the cold and wind.Daddy Chen chose some reed poles with small stems and knots, and he didn't split them, so he just braided them directly, didn't listen to the work in his hands, and slowly took shape with a curtain.And Chen Fool and Chen Chunni cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up, fed chickens and ducks, picked up eggs and duck eggs, etc.Although Daddy Chen's family is poor, he is very particular, and the hygiene of the house must be done every day, even the chicken coop and duck coop are cleaned.When the sun went down, it was dark, and although it was still bright outside, it was dark inside the earthen house.Most of the houses in this area are mud houses, and in order to keep warm in winter, these earth houses have small windows, even in broad daylight and the sun is shining, these earth houses are dark and gloomy.If it's a rainy day, or at dusk, the inside of the house is pitch black, and the visibility is very low, so you have to light it up.People with good family backgrounds will light tung oil lamps, like the stove households in Yanqita Village are extremely poor families, and they generally go to bed early.Daddy Chen stopped his work, ready to wash his feet and go to bed, Daddy Chen does not have the habit of taking a big bath every day, because boiling hot water requires firewood, and his family can't afford to burn it!
Young people are okay, it doesn't matter if they touch cold water, but for people like Daddy Chen, touching cold water is equivalent to dying, especially when they just come back from sweating, if they take a cold shower, there is no difference between eating arsenic.In fact, Daddy Chen is not old, only forty, but the perennial fatigue has long destroyed his body, making him look extremely old, plus he is sick and his physique is not good, so he would rather not take a bath, his body stinks, and he can't touch cold water.Daddy Chen's footwashing water is the water left over from the pot when he was just steaming and eating.The water was covered with a lid, and it still brought a little heat, which was enough to wash the feet.While Daddy Chen was preparing to wash his feet, Chen Chunni hurriedly took the curtain to see, this curtain was simple and elegant, with beautiful ornamentation, it was simply beautiful."
Fool, how did you come up with such a pattern?
It's much better than the pattern that my dad used to weave, and in the future, my dad will weave reeds according to the pattern you said, and our family can make a fortune. ”Fool Chen didn't know how he came up with this strange pattern?
In fact, when he saw Daddy Chen weaving things, all kinds of ornaments and unique shapes automatically popped out, and he couldn't stop it.Chen Fool suddenly broke a reed pole, and he painted something on the sand?
Chen Chunni hurriedly poked her head to look, but saw a very cute rabbit, this rabbit has a very strange shape, long ears, and cheap eyes, anyway, it is very strange, and it is different from all the rabbits she has seen.Chen Chunni fell in love with this kind of rabbit in an instant, and she said curiously, "Brother fool, what did you draw?"
Why does a rabbit look like this?
Uh, it's weird, but it's very cute. ”Fool Chen thought for a moment and grinned, "This is called a rogue rabbit!"
”Rogue bunny?
It's too ugly, but why do you think it's a good name for this rabbit?
What did Fool Chen draw again?
Chen Chunni saw that it was actually a weird-looking thing again, Chen Fool said that it was called Bumpman, and the child liked it the most."
Let's let Daddy weave some curtains to buy first, and it won't be a problem to make money, but now there are too many people who can weave, the technology is not valuable, and Daddy's craftsmanship is not the best, what we sell is just an ingenuity."
These patterns will soon be learned by those who have a heart, maybe it can be better than Dad's weaving, and then Daddy's things can't be sold, so let's let Dad make some children's toys according to my picture, and it's a sum of money!
”Chen Chunni was a little unconfident, "But will children like these things?"
”Chen Fool smiled faintly, "Nizi likes everything, how can children not like it?"
”Chen Chunni pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm not a child, my father said that I am a big girl, I can get married, I am an adult, maybe I will be a mother next year!"
Fool Chen was speechless, this Nizi just said that she didn't want to get married, now it's okay?
Directly said that she was going to be a mother next year?
It's just a change of face faster than turning a book, a typical child's mentality.Chen Fool didn't fight with him, just took a towel and a wooden basin, and went directly to the well to take a shower, now the weather is also hot, and the cold water is very comfortable.Chen Chunni saw that the fool was going to take a shower again, her face flushed, she spitted, and consciously picked up the wooden basin and made cold water and entered the house.At dusk, it's hot, but it's not hot.The well water is cold to the bone, and it is actually very cold to flush the well water directly, but Chen Fool does not feel cold, but he falls in love with this feeling, the cold well water pours down from the head, so that his mind is awake for a moment, and he can more or less understand the strange picture in the dream.It's a strange feeling.When he was half-asleep and half-awake, Chen Fool could see a lot of things, but he just couldn't understand those pictures, and the feeling was like watching a stranger's story, with only pictures and no feelings.
