Chapter 51 Learning New Skills

An old man with gray hair was sitting on a stone by the stream, weaving a straw hat out of hay. Jiayin, who came out of the house, saw the straw hat that the old man was weaving in his hands. He swayed over with interest, and squatted beside the old man to watch carefully. .

The old man's hands are very fast. He only wove a round top of the hat just now, and he has already woven the brim of the hat in a while.

This kind of straw hat is different from the bamboo hat. It is not the kind of pointed top, and the brim is not so wide. After all, dry grass is very soft and not as hard as bamboo. The shape of the hat is still there, and it is the same when worn on the head. It can block the sun, and it can also block the drizzle.

Jiayin followed the example of the old man, and picked up a strand of hay, and wanted to weave it according to the pattern, but she didn't see how the old man started weaving the straw hat, and she didn't know where to start with the hay.

The old man felt a little funny when he saw the little fat girl squatting next to him, holding a strand of hay in her hand and wrinkling her face.

Wen Sheng said to her: "Little girl, do you want to learn how to weave straw hats from grandpa?"

Jiayin nodded obediently, "Well, I also want to weave hats, grandpa, teach me."

The old man, Fang Yunsheng, Fang Yunping's eldest brother, could only do some light work due to his poor health.

It may be that practice makes perfect, he weaves these things more delicately than others.

Fang Yunsheng showed a loving smile on his face, and picked up a strand of hay to weave from scratch.

He intentionally slowed down the movement so that Jiayin could see it more clearly. From time to time, he would point out where Jiayin made mistakes. Jiayin learned quickly and got used to it in a short while.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a round cap was made by Jiayin. Fang Yunsheng was very surprised. After all, weaving this thing requires hand strength. He thought that with such a small child's hand strength, the weaving must be uneven. It's crooked.

As a result, the little girl looked at the age of four or five years old, and the short hands of the little chubby were quite strong, and the weaving was dense and smooth.

Can't help but praise: "The little girl is really amazing, she learned it right away, and her weaving is better than grandpa."

This is really not an exaggeration. Jiayin is born with great strength, and now she can control her hand strength very well. The weaving is really dense and smooth, but the speed is not as fast as the old man.

Jiayin was very happy when she was praised, and replied with a smile: "Grandpa, then I still want to learn that, can I?"

She pointed to the basket next to her, which was very delicately woven, with an oval body and beautiful patterns on it.

The basket is woven with thin rattan, and the pattern is a bit like Ruyi pattern, which is very beautiful.

The old man laughed softly, "Okay, okay, grandpa will teach you to weave this basket."

After speaking, he put down the straw hat that was about to be formed in his hand, and picked up the thin rattan next to him to explain to Jiayin, "First, use a thicker rattan to pave the bottom..."

One old and one young, one patiently taught and the other studied seriously, and the people next to them all smiled knowingly when they saw it.

Fang Zhiyuan and his group of boys are helping to build a shelf for drying the salt, while the girls are helping to light the fire or stir the salt water in the pot.

The younger children watched the little rabbits play in the rabbit nest, and some pulled weeds for the rabbits nearby...

...I am the dividing line...

Two months have passed in the midst of everyone's busy preparations. During this period, Jiayin has rained several times, all at night.

The weather is getting colder, and the wild fruits and vegetables in the nearby mountains have almost been picked up.

It will snow here this winter, and there will be no way to find food in the mountains by then, so everyone is getting ready to go.

Ten wheelbarrows have already been made, and thirty strong laborers are pushing them on the road in turn, while the remaining 20 people are responsible for guarding. After all, there are many unknown dangers on the road, so it is safer to have a dedicated guard.
