Poor family mother and son

Chapter 229 Bamboo Claw

Xiaobao made the bamboo claws and checked them carefully.

This bamboo claw has been polished and soaked in oil by him, showing a bright yellow color, very beautiful.

Xiaobao washed his hands, and then wiped the bamboo claws with a cotton cloth to find out.

Although You Zhenghang was scolded by Xiaobao, he was familiar with Xiaobao here, even though the other children were classmates in the state school, he didn't even talk to them much.

So watching Xiaobao go out, he also followed.

Chu Qing was modifying a gear with a file, making his hands full of iron filings.

Because he was staying at home and didn't go out, he simply didn't comb his hair in a bun, and tied it behind his neck with a hair band, which now slipped onto his shoulders.

The most annoying thing in ancient times is that no matter men or women can cut their hair short, it is tied up from morning to night, and the scalp hurts.

"Mother!" Xiao Bao said, "Take a break, what do you want to do, I'll come!"

Chu Qing said: "Just help me get my hair back and go, my hands are not clean."

Xiao Bao untied his mother's hair tie, and tied it with his hands, twisted his long hair into a twist, folded it in half, and then folded it in half again, and then used bamboo claws to grasp the back of Chu Qing's head together with the root of the hair.

Chu Qing shook her head, the back of her neck was really sharp!Just ask: "Huh? What's so good?"

Xiaobao took it down and showed it to her.

Because Chu Qing turned his back to the door, he didn't see You Zhenghang.

But You Zhenghang understood that the bamboo claws were used to bind the hair.

Chu Qing simply stopped working, stood up to wash her hands, and saw You Zhenghang.

"Oh, Zhenghang, sit down quickly. Auntie will wash her hands and get you some snacks."

Mu Nianci came in with a water basin, and Huang Rong's tray was already filled with snacks and tea.

"Chu...Auntie, what were you doing just now?" You Zhenghang pointed to the gears, steel files on the ground, and a few things that he couldn't understand.

"Oh, Zhuo Yao can't sit still and moves around all the time. When will the wound heal? I want to make a splint to tie him up, but the gears of this hand drill don't fit properly. It takes a lot of effort to drill the hole, so it needs to be filed." Chu Qing explain to him.

"Oh..." I didn't understand, but they answered me, so there must be a response.

Chu Qing wiped his hands and picked up the bamboo paws: "Xiaobao, did you make hair scratches? It's so practical! What a good son of my mother!"

Chu Qing caressed her hair carefully, it was smooth and bright yellow, so exquisite and beautiful.

"Mother, you call it Fazhuo? Well, this name is appropriate, I haven't thought of a name yet." Xiaobao said.

"Tell me, why did you think of making this for your mother? Also, tell me how you came up with it?" Chu Qing asked.

Xiaobao: "Mother, don't you think it hurts to comb your hair in a bun, so I thought it would be great if I didn't have to comb it so tightly to keep my hair from falling out;
Later, I remembered that my mother said that 'human hands are the best tool', so I wondered if I could make a pair of hands to hold my mother's hair for me. "

"Your mother is just lazy!" Chu Yuan came in, "Which woman doesn't wear a bun, and I have never heard anyone complain of scalp pain."

Gan Lai, who was following behind, pushed Chu Yuan on the chair without saying a word, and said to Huang Rong, "Comb his hair!"

Chu Yuan: "Didn't I comb well!"

Gan Lai: "Come on, hurry up, just comb the same one as me!"

With Gan Lai pressing, Chu Yuan really couldn't break free, and he didn't want to hurt Gan Lai.

Huang Rong pursed her lips and smiled, she really took off the topknot of Chu Yuan's head and combed it into a bun that was exactly the same as Gan Lai's.

Chu Yuan's scalp was pulled, and he grinned in pain: "Huang Rong, I suspect you did it on purpose!"

Huang Rong: "You have to comb like this, otherwise it will lose its shape."

"Hey! With such a dress, he looks better than the boss!" Gan Lai commented.

"Gan Lai! My mother is beautiful!" Xiaobao called.

You Zhenghang looked at it seriously, and felt that it was about the same, so he added another sentence: "It's not any better than your mother, but it's not ugly."

Chu Qing suddenly didn't want to stay in the house anymore, what a pity!
Xiaobao was upset: "On plain makeup, my mother looks good!"

You Zhenghang: "Your motherfucker!"

Xiaobao: "My mother is not black, what are you wearing? If you think my mother is black, tell your father not to come to my mother for cotton!"

The two kids could pick up on any topic, and Chu Qing was convinced.

Chu Qing asked Huang Rong to comb her hair, and did not shy away from the men and women in the room at all, making You Zhenghang feel like he was on pins and needles.

The Chu family is too unruly!

Chu Qing handed the hair to Mu Nianci: "Look, my son made it!" Then he scratched Chu Yuan's hair and showed it: "How is it?"

Gan Lai immediately snatched it up: "Boss, let me use this!"

Chu Yuan blocked: "The son gave it to my mother, you have the nerve to snatch it!"

Chu Qing ordered: "Chu Yuan, tie up your hair, take the hair to Master Lu, let him take it apart to understand the structure, and make it with various materials;

Gold, silver, jade, bamboo, black sandalwood, whatever, let him decorate it, and then bring it back to me. "

Xiaobao's eyes lit up: "Mother, I'll go!"

After saying that, he took the hair grab and walked out, You Zhenghang quickly followed.

Xiaobao: "Why are you following me?"

You Zhenghang: "Uh...you can do whatever you want!"

Xiaobao: "Why don't you go back to Jizhou? Pei Qing and the others have all gone back!"

You Zhenghang: "You didn't go back either?"

Xiaobao: "I'm traveling to study!"

You Zhenghang: "You don't call it a study tour, it's called absenteeism!"

Xiaobao: "I'm a scholar, I've completed the formalities for a study tour!"

You Zhenghang: "What are you showing off! Who takes your talent seriously!"

Xiaobao: "If you are jealous, just say jealous!"

The noise gradually faded away, the room kept listening quietly, and then laughed.

Chu Qing picked up a pen and drew some modern hair bands, U-shaped hairpins, and some auxiliary tools suitable for curling hair, and asked Chu Yuan to send them to Master Lu.

If Xiaobao is interested, let Xiaobao do it.

Xiaobao came back soon: "Mother, Grandpa Lu asked you if there is anything else you need to do, don't keep pissing people off!"

Chu Qing: "...Mr. Lu is really humorous..."

Xiaobao said again: "Also, Grandpa Huang asked me to ask if you are short of craftsmen, he wants to come."

Chu Qing: "Master Huang hasn't taken office yet? Besides, isn't his family in the capital? How could he think of coming here?"

Xiaobao: "Grandpa Huang resigned last year and wanted to return home. The emperor refused to give up. He is 70 years old this year. In fact, he is 71. The emperor had no choice but to let him go.

Mother, Grandpa Huang is not from Kyoto, but from Ganzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that the whole family moved to Kyoto with him, and they haven't been back to their hometown for decades.

Grandpa Huang said that he wanted to stay with us for a few years while he was still in good health. "

This is a senior engineer, talent, don't waste the waste heat, use it to us!

Chu Qing immediately said: "Of course, it's great! Let's go and find him!"

You Zhenghang was startled when he heard that, he knew Huang Zhong, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry.

My grandfather once said that Huang Zhong was one of the few hard-working people in the imperial court who devoted himself to the construction of propaganda.

Such a person wants to defect to Chu Qing?
"Hahahaha, good! Thank you, Master Chu! I will be taken care of by Master Chu from now on!" Old Huang Zhong stroked his beard and laughed, very happy.

"Grandpa Huang, your name is Master Chu. My mother is feeling uncomfortable. Grandpa Lu calls my mother by her name. You should call me by her name too." Seeing his mother's embarrassment, Xiaobao made a relief.

"Mr. Huang, why did you come here?" You Zhenghang finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Huang Zhong said: "Chu... Qing girl, let me call this old man. Qing girl is at ease here, and there are many new things. The most important thing is that she doesn't hide her secrets!"

You Zhenghang: "Not hiding anything?"

Huang Zhong explained: "She doesn't hide anything that is beneficial to the common people, young man, you are the grandson of Ge Mozi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, right?

Have you ever heard your grandfather say that the blueprints of the blast furnace, the formula for extracting soybean oil, the blueprints of the spinning wheel, and the loom, including these..."

Huang Zhong pointed to a pile of hand drills, conveyor belts, screws, screwdrivers, etc. on the operating table: "These drawings and samples were all submitted to the imperial court by Qing girls?
With these things, do you know how much convenience it will bring to various industries such as iron smelting, shipbuilding, and textiles? "

You Zhenghang showed some disapproval expression: These are all craftsmen's affairs, so what does it have to do with students like myself?
Huang Zhong could see what this child was thinking, but You Zhenghang was not his own grandson, so of course he didn't have to worry about it, but he still said a few words: "Think about why the imperial court split up six departments? What do the six departments do?"

Chu Qing was listening beside him, and also realized this problem. Children go to school every day, but do you know why they go to school?
