LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 214 - Farmhouse
Su Qianyun’s face changed slightly, and she smiled: “The third brother already knows it? Don’t think too much, we are a family, this will not change anytime…”
Xu Zifan tilted her head, interrupted her questioningly, and asked Xu Erlang, “Second brother, your second sister-in-law is now in charge? Why is the second sister-in-law making decisions about everything, and what the second sister-in-law says?”
Without waiting for Xu Erlang to reply, he waved his hand and said: “But it’s all separated. It’s your business that you like to let the second sister-in-law be in charge, and it has nothing to do with me.” He turned to Xu father and said, “Father, you teach me We make bamboo baskets, we will make a few more and sell them.”
Xu’s father was taken aback. It was rare that the younger son was interested in work, so he swallowed what he wanted to reprimand him, took him to the wall and sat on a small bench to teach him. The father and son taught seriously and the other learned seriously. They looked so harmonious that no one could get in. Xu Erlang choked on his chest and felt uncomfortable. When did he let his wife be the master? This kid is really annoying.
Xu Erlang turned his head and saw Su Qianyun, but he wondered in his heart, what happened to this wife recently? Why do so many ideas suddenly pop up? He seemed to be led by Su Qianyun’s nose, didn’t he just let her be the master? Thinking about this, Xu Erlang’s face was a little ugly, and he lifted his foot into the house.
Su Qianyun pursed her lips and pulled the child into the house. Remarriage was not easy in ancient times. This man was less knowledgeable, so he was better off, and treated her well. She didn’t want to change people, so she had to spend some time to coax. Cai originally wanted to follow Xu Zifan’s words, but didn’t interrupt her mouth. She saw that the two couples were talked about by Xu Zifan. After thinking and thinking, she quietly discarded the idea of stewed eggs. In the sensitive period, it is still less eye-catching. My parents will not say anything. This third brother is not forgiving.
Xu Dalang was relieved to see his third brother so energetic, but he blamed more. Didn’t he also listen to his wife and didn’t make up his mind? Seeing how the third brother coaxed his parents so happy, he couldn’t help but think, no wonder his parents loved the third brother more, they really couldn’t compare to the third brother. Doesn’t he also prefer the sweet little girl? What is it to blame? It’s just that because of the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, he has no face to speak, and has been silently squatting in a corner of the yard to sort farm tools.
The reactions of these people in the Xu family were scanned and analyzed by Shaohua, and a personal character chart was listed for Xu Zifan to see. The form is just a rudimentary form, there is still a lot to fill. Xu Zifan boasted in his mind: [Done well, we will build a database every time we go. 】
[Okay, do you need a complete bamboo weaving method? 】
Xu Zifan paused when he made the bamboo basket, and slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip, 【I didn’t even think of this, I really need it. 】
Shaohua showed a three-dimensional screen on the open space in front of Xu Zifan, on which many bamboo products were slowly rotating 360° horizontally, and whichever was clicked came out. Detailed preparation steps and diagrams appeared next to it. In addition to the common ones here, there are bamboo beds, bamboo lounge chairs, bamboo stools, bamboo sofas, etc., as well as special exquisite mats, vases, baskets, etc. The styles are very beautiful, and some other colors can be added to make them rich Others also use it. There are also particularly beautiful ornaments. He has never noticed that there are so many patterns in bamboo products before.
It’s good to have this, at least it can give parents a little confidence and divert their attention. It also allowed him to add more money to his family during the time he was “studying medicine.” Xu Zifan reached out and took a bamboo stick, bumped into the bamboo hat on the screen, and the weaving method immediately appeared in front of him. Considering that this is the first time he has done this, it is better to make some simple improvements at home. This bamboo hat is much lighter than the one currently hanging in the yard, and the style is simpler and more generous. It looks pleasing to the eye. It is good for shading and raining. There are some patterns on it, which is very good.
Xu Zifan began to make up according to the preparation steps, and Xu’s father saw that he blocked it and said: “The basket is not made like this, this one should be placed below.”
Xu Zifan smiled and said, “Father, you teach me to make a hat.”
Father Xu shook his head and smiled: “You kid, just play here.”
Having said that, he still modified his own compilation and patiently taught Xu Zifan how to make a hat. Xu Zifan has a very strong hands-on ability, so he can get started after listening to him give some tips and places to pay attention to. Father Xu looked at the work he had made in surprise. It was neat and tidy, and said, “So you are good at making things. Those who learn from a carpenter should be good. They all do fine work.”
“Father, I’ll talk about those later.”
“Why? Do you still want to read?” Xu’s father squinted at him. “The teacher said that you did not read well and that you could not pass the exam. You shouldn’t read it.”
Xu Zifan suddenly thought that Kao Xiucai could give the field tax exemption. In ancient times, the output was low, and the tax left was not much. Moreover, he saw that the magistrate didn’t need to kneel when he was famous. Can I believe what I said? But I know that I don’t have any money at home. I will read it by myself in the future, and I can help you with work. I will go to the exam when I save enough money. If I don’t pass the exam, I won’t worry about it anymore.”
He looked at Father Xu and said seriously: “Father, let me try. I have been reading for so many years. I can’t give up without trying. I will still have a long life in the future. Just try it this year. There is also time to do something else, without delay.”
Xu’s father did not agree, nor said he did not agree, he thought for a while and said, “I will discuss this matter with your mother. You should take care of the illness first.”
“Come on, have dinner. Don’t be busy with you two, go in the house and eat while it’s hot. The third child, the eggs will be fishy when they are cold, come here.” Xu mother came out of the stove and walked to Xu Zifan’s house with the vegetables. go. There is a table in his house. Since it is divided into families and meals, it is not always good to eat on the big table. Fortunately, Xu Zifan’s wooden table is enough for four people to eat, which is very convenient.
Xu Zifan put down the things he had made up a little, washed his hands, and then went to the stove to pick up the rest. Xiao Lian was surprised when she saw it, “Third brother, don’t make it, I’ll take it.”
Xu Zifan avoided her hand and walked into the room in a few steps, “Send something to your hand, grab something.”
Mother Xu hesitated: “Isn’t there a saying that the gentleman won’t enter the stove? Scholars can’t do this.”
Xu Zifan laughed and said: “This is not a rule, our own family does not have such rules. Mother, now we are separated, our family is only you and my dad, and me and Xiaolian. I can’t let you and dad do everything. How unfilial is that? I can’t ask Xiao Lian to do it, as if to bully her. From now on, I will be the pillar of our family. I will definitely be able to do what I can to protect you.”
Father Xu walked into the door with his hands behind his back and snorted softly, “Your father is not old yet, what kind of beam do you hold, if you don’t make us angry, we will be satisfied.”
Xu Zifan looked at him with a smile, pulled him to sit down, and said with a smile: “Father, you are the pillar of the foundation, I still have more to learn. Eat quickly, I’m already hungry.”
“Then eat quickly, eat quickly.” Mother Xu pushed the stewed egg in front of him, and gave him a pancake.
Breakfast is sweet potato porridge and pancakes, only Xu Zifan has an extra bowl of stewed eggs. Xu Zifan took a look. Their food is not good, but it is not bad compared to others. At most, two pancakes for men and one pancake for women are divided, because men have more effort than women. Moreover, the amount of food to be cooked is limited, everyone can’t just open up and eat, the meal is six to seven percent full, and only eight to nine percent full when the farm is busy, and meat and eggs are rarely served on the table.
Xu Zifan took a mouthful of the stewed eggs. There was no seasoning, but it was delicious, with the smoke and fire smoke at home. He didn’t want to give it to his parents and sisters. There was only one egg in total, which was very awkward to push around, which was not in line with the original character. He felt that it was better to help the family get rich earlier, and to eat whatever he wanted, no one had to give in.
The original body does not often eat alone, and the food at home is basically the same as everyone else. Only when he is sick will he eat delicious food. He spends a lot of money mainly on reading and entertainment, so Xiao Lian is not dissatisfied. Xu’s father and Xu’s mother are happy when he sees him eating deliciously, with a smile on their eyebrows, which can not dissipate the feeling of depression. Little, let Xiao Lian admire very much. Probably the only third brother in the family who can make parents laugh with a few words is also capable.
After eating, Xu Zifan drank another bowl of medicine, and was urged by Xu’s father and Xu’s mother to return to the room to rest. He didn’t want them to worry, so he returned to the house with a bunch of bamboo sticks, saying that he was boring to make up a few times. The Xu family went down to the ground. The two children in the big room were carrying small bamboo baskets to dig wild vegetables. The kid in the second room was the big one and looked at the little ones. They played in the yard. Xiao Lian took the clothes and went to the river to wash. .
Xu Zifan leaned on the bed and said: [Shaohua looked at the person who nodded, don’t find me wrong, I will make up a hat first. 】
[Will it be easier to find precious medicinal materials in the mountains? 】
[I’m probably unable to come back when I go into the mountains now, and the medicinal materials are not so easy to find, so I have to try my luck. Even if they find money for a change, it will be a pie in the sky for parents. It’s better to get some bamboo products to make them more practical and at ease. With a legitimate income, they can also let me take the exam for talents. It just so happens that my dad loves to make things. This suits him. He would be happy to sell the money. Of course, I still need to find medicinal materials, so I will look for opportunities to raise my body. 】
