Chapter 30 Pen Making
When Sheng Jiaojiao poured some water into the valley again, climbed up the slope and returned home, the women from other villages who came here to gossip had already left.

The sun had already risen, and the little boys and girls who came to Kaimeng from the village started to come to Qi's house bouncing around.

On the first day of enlightenment, each child was led by their own parents and elders.

But on the second day, most of the children came by themselves.

Some children still held one or two sweet potatoes or raw eggs in their hands, and when they entered the yard of Qi's family, they consciously put the things in their hands at the door of the kitchen.

Although the children didn't hold many things in their hands, a dozen or so children added up to make a small pile.

Seeing this, Sheng Jiaojiao's inner softness was deeply touched.

These things are nothing compared to the rare treasures presented to her by others in her previous life.

But Sheng Jiaojiao saw full sincerity and respect.

So she became more concerned about enlightening those children.

The first day of enlightenment will be a bit longer, because she needs to spend a lot of time teaching those boys and girls the rules of private schools.

Although it is not a serious private school, there is not even a banquet, a book table, or even a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but the private school rules that should be learned are still in place.

Today, Sheng Jiaojiao has shortened the children's time at Qi's house, because many children still have half a day to practice martial arts. She taught the children a few common strokes and one or two simple characters, so that the children We go home to practice by ourselves.

This is homework for the children.

Watching the children go away happily one by one, Sheng Jiaojiao just turned her head and saw the second lady Qi and the eldest lady Qi, sorting out the various things that the children brought over.

Sheng Jiaojiao walked over and asked Mrs. Qi,

"Second aunt, where did the people in the village bring the hunting goods yesterday?"

"Inside, what's the matter?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Qi to answer, Miss Qi pointed to the kitchen and complained:

"There are too many hunting animals, all of which are dead, and they are piled up for fear of damage. Your three aunts and I spent a whole day dealing with them before peeling off the skins of these hunting animals."

Originally, Sheng Jiaojiao had already walked towards the kitchen, but after hearing this, she turned back and asked:

"Mother, where are those furs?"

Seeing Miss Qi pointing in a direction, Sheng Jiaojiao turned around and walked to the side of the kitchen, where she saw a row of furs that were being cleaned and waiting to be dried.

She stepped forward with her skirt in hand, picked a piece of wolf fur, touched the silky gray fur on it, and said to Second Lady Qi and Miss Qi who followed up:

"Although we don't have paper, it should be possible to make pens for those children."

"I'll come, I'll come."

Miss Qi took two steps forward and took the wolf skin from Sheng Jiaojiao.

She knows how to make pens. The pens that Sheng Jiaojiao has used since she was a child are all made by Miss Qi herself.

Because Miss Qi wanted Sheng Jiaojiao to go to a private school, but the private school in Zhishou County is very expensive, and the students in it are either rich or expensive.

So Miss Qi was able to save a little bit, so she started making pens for more than ten years from a person who couldn't even hold a pen.

So as soon as Sheng Jiaojiao said that she wanted to make pens for the children who came to Kaimeng, Miss Qi immediately took over the job.

Sheng Jiaojiao followed A Niang and came to the back of their room. There was a small earthen kiln here, where Miss Qi specially made earthenware pens for Sheng Jiaojiao.

"What are you doing with me? Go read a book."

Miss Qi spread the wolf skins on the flat ground nearby and drove Sheng Jiaojiao.

Now people in the village call the girl raised by her Mr. Qi, not to mention how proud she is, she feels that her status is higher than others.

She is now Mr.'s wife.

Then I heard Miss Qi say to Sheng Jiaojiao while she was busy:
"Now that you are a teacher, you can no longer be like before. You must read more books and study more. You must learn by yourself before you can teach Erlang and the girl well."

She felt that she had no demands on Sheng Jiaojiao before, regardless of whether Sheng Jiaojiao had studied well or not, as long as Sheng Jiaojiao wanted to go to a private school, Miss Qi would send her.

But now that Sheng Jiaojiao has become the teacher of Huangtu Village again, then Miss Qi has a request. As the husband's mother, she has already felt the great responsibility.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she reached out her hand to help, and at the same time responded to A Niang.

Miss Qi saw that Sheng Jiaojiao had touched the wolf fur with her hands, and said "Aiya", and rushed Sheng Jiaojiao again,
"Don't make trouble here, look at your hands, go away quickly."

At this time, Mrs. Zhou stood in the front yard and shouted,
"Big girl, come quickly."

Miss Qi responded, patted the clay on her hands, and went to the front yard.

As soon as A Niang left, no one cared about Sheng Jiaojiao, she started to let herself go, kneaded a small handful of clay, shaped it into the shape of a pen holder, thought about it, sat on the stone slab under the eaves, and used her nails On the clay, I drew a few bamboo branches and leaves.

After she finished pinching a pen holder, Sheng Jiaojiao had no choice but to wash her hands, left the kiln, and returned to the yard before Aniang came.

Qi Zhang's horse was tied up in the thatched shed next to the stone mill in the yard.

Big Brother is back.

Sheng Jiaojiao turned around and walked to the big room of Qi's family. She wanted to say hello to Qi Zhang, but she happened to hear Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Zhou and Qi Zhang talking inside.

So many people gathered in Qi Zhang's room, what are they doing?
Sheng Jiaojiao paused and stopped.

In the house, in fact, not long after Qi Zhang entered the house, his grandma, his mother, and his aunt Qi were all sitting on the kang in the big house.

"Da Lang, come back from rest today, see the Tan family's Dalang Tan Ji, did he say anything to you?"

Old Madam Qi sat cross-legged on the kang, smoking a pipe.

Qi Zhang was stunned by the question, he shook his head, and asked cautiously:
"What aspect is grandma talking about?"

Every time he meets Tan Ji, he always talks about a lot of things, his family, his country, his borders, many, many.

It was his mother Zhou who spoke and said:

"Today the eldest lady of the Tan family came to our house and asked about your sister's marriage. I'm afraid she wanted to tell your sister about marriage with Tan Dalang, but by coincidence, my sister-in-law also came to our house today."

So Mrs. Tan wanted to say something later, but was interrupted by Mrs. Zhou's family.

The intention of the eldest lady of the Zhou family is to marry the eldest son of the Qi family to Sheng Jiaojiao.

After hearing this, Tan Ji's aunt was embarrassed, and in the end she didn't ask Sheng Jiaojiao any more.

Later, I don't know if Mrs. Zhou did it on purpose, in front of Aunt Tan Ji, she described Sheng Jiaojiao's scandal vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

How does this make people say kiss?
