Nongmen Xianggong is a koi

Chapter 14

"Just came back before noon." Jiang Chunshi replied, "I came back and heard my mother tell about Xiao Xia and her brother-in-law being smashed by the wedding shed, so I came to see how they are doing.

"I bought some tofu when I came back from the town. I bought a lot and I had some at home. I brought these to my uncle and aunt."

"Just take a look. What else do you want? Take it back to your own house and eat it." Liu quickly refused.

Tofu was considered half a meat dish, and the piece of tofu Jiang Chunshi brought weighed two or three catties, and it cost several pennies.

"It's hot, I can't keep this thing. I bought too much, and I can't finish it when I take it home. It's not good if it spoils." Jiang Chunshi simply went into the kitchen, put the tofu in the wooden basin, and covered it with a bamboo basket.

Now, Jiang Youcheng and Liu Shi couldn't refuse. They just took a bench, poured a bowl of tea, and talked with Jiang Chunshi in the yard.

"I see that Xiao Xia is really much better."

Jiang Chunshi saw that Jiang Mixia's eyes were bright at the moment, and she was also holding a machete on the piece of bamboo strips in her hand. It was just like what his parents said, and his dementia was cured before, so he was very happy.

"It's also the blessing of the Bodhisattva, what is this called, a blessing in disguise?" Jiang Youcheng smiled.

"Isn't it a blessing? I see that Xiaoxia is a blessed person. From now on, the blessing will still be in the future."

Jiang Chunshi looked at the bamboo strips all over the ground, and there was a basket that was almost finished next to it, and asked, "Third Uncle is planning not to weave wattle baskets, but to remake bamboo baskets?"

"Xiaoxia suggested weaving some bamboo baskets, which can earn more money than Vitex baskets, so I'm going to give it a try and see if I can make more money." Jiang Youcheng replied truthfully.

"It's good to try, it doesn't hurt if it doesn't work, but it's a great thing if it succeeds."

Jiang Chunshi paused, and said, "Speaking of which, when I come back this time, I also want to find another way to go."

Change the way?
Jiang Youcheng was taken aback, "Are you planning to continue learning carpentry?"

"Yes," Jiang Chunshi nodded.

"I've been studying with my master for so many years, and my master doesn't teach me well all day long. He only asks me to do some hard work like lifting and sawing wood. If I help with carving and polishing, I will be told that I am not doing my job properly. , it’s clear that I’m being used as a coolie who doesn’t need money.”

"Two days ago, I couldn't bear it anymore. I quarreled with Master and asked him to either teach me some skills, or give me some wages, or return the filial gifts of these years. As a result, Master got annoyed and sent me kicked out."

"Isn't this person offended by his conscience? You are honest, you work hard, and you pay a lot of respect every year. You don't even want to teach some skills, and you are not afraid of thunder?"

Jiang Youcheng was annoyed, and reached out to pat Jiang Chunshi again, "According to my third uncle, it's better to get away from that person, and do something by myself in the future, it's better than working as a coolie there all the time."

"That's it, it's better than giving people jobs for nothing."

Jiang Chunshi grinned, but there was some bitterness in the smile.

He is also 20 years old, and he didn't get any results from learning crafts. He said that after staying there for so long, it is good to learn some crafts. What he can learn is sawing wood, planing boards, and painting.

If you really do it yourself, you can do simple tasks like making a bench and installing a table, but you really have no experience in measuring the size of the house and estimating the materials. You can't be regarded as a real carpenter, and no one outside uses him.

It is not an easy task to make a living.

"It's done, don't think too much, come back and settle down for two days, and you will be planting cotton in these two days, and you should come back and help the family with the work in the field."

Jiang Youcheng could also see that Jiang Chunshi was not in a good mood, so he comforted him, "Let's wait and see if there is a suitable opportunity to find a way out. You are honest and not stupid. Third Uncle believes that you will definitely succeed."

"Yes." Jiang Chunshi smiled and nodded.

After talking for a while, Jiang Chunshi wanted to help saw some bamboo, but was stopped by Jiang Youcheng and Mrs. Liu, who only asked him to go home and work on his own family affairs.

Although Dafang lived a little more comfortably and had a lot of land, but it all depended on working from dawn to dusk, so he couldn't be idle.

Jiang Youcheng even put aside the similar bamboo baskets he made, "It just so happens that the new bamboo baskets I made here are the first ones. You can take them back and use them at home, and you can help me try making them. The fruit is not firm."

Jiang Chunshi couldn't help it, so he had to take the bamboo basket and come over, "Okay, I'll go back first, if something happens at Uncle's house, remember to say something."

After sending Jiang Chunshi out, Jiang Mixia opened his mouth and asked, "Can big brother carve things out of wood? Kittens and puppies?"

"Yes, I can, but maybe the carved ones are not as good-looking as the ones sold outside." Jiang Chunshi asked, "Xiao Xia wants it? Then I'll carve some for you. What do you want, kittens, puppies, and bunnies?"

"Anything is fine, big brother sees that sculpture is easy to handle, there is no need to have too many, one will do."

Seeing what Jiang Mixia said, Jiang Chunshi laughed, "You're not too greedy, okay, I'll carve one for you when I go back, and send it to you when it's finished."

"Thank you, brother." Jiang Mixia thanked with a smile.

"Why are you being polite to big brother?" Jiang Chunshi smiled and rubbed Jiang Mixia's head just like when he was a child.

After Jiang Chunshi left, the family continued to work.

Saw bamboo, split bamboo, slice bamboo strips, weave bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets.

The four of them cooperated in an orderly manner.

So busy until the sun went down, Mrs. Liu went to cook dinner.

Wotou with sweet potato noodles and stick noodles, stick grits porridge, mixed with a wild vegetable, and the tofu sent by Jiang Chunshi was cut into slices, fried, and sprinkled with some salt when eating.

The fried tofu tastes salty and fragrant, and it is also mixed with the original fragrance of tofu, which is very delicious.

Fried tofu is also delicious.

Song Jingyun made another note in his small notebook.

After eating, the genius darkened.

The weather was fine, the moon was bright, and the small courtyard was brightly illuminated.

Jiang Youcheng prepared to weave the bamboo basket in his hand under the light.

Jiang Mixia, Song Jingyun and Liu Shi also planned to give each piece of the remaining bamboo pieces.

In this case, you can go to cut new bamboo tomorrow.

At this moment, the three of them are quite proficient. Even if the moonlight is limited, they can fit the bamboo strips properly, but the speed is much slower than during the day.

By the time Jiang Youcheng finished weaving his bamboo baskets, it was already late at night.

"Hurry up and go to bed, or you won't wake up tomorrow." Mrs. Liu packed up her things and urged Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun.

Jiang Mixia yawned and nodded, went to the water tank to scoop up water, and called Song Jingyun to wash up.

"You guys go to bed first, I'll finish the film." Song Jingyun didn't lift her head.

There were not many bamboo pieces left at his feet, so Liu Shi and Jiang Mixia didn't urge them anymore, they packed up and went back to their houses.

Jiang Mixia was so sleepy that she fell asleep after touching the pillow.

I don't know how long I slept, but there was an owl hooting outside, and Jiang Mixia suddenly woke up.

There was nothing around me.

The little son-in-law was not sleeping on the bed.
