Nongmen Xianggong is a koi

Chapter 97 The Wisdom of the Ancients
But the matter was quickly resolved.

Because Jiang Chunshi made a small wooden horse for Jiang Maihua.

The bottom is like a crescent moon, it can shake back and forth, but it will not fall down.

The horse head part is made according to the drawing drawn by Jiang Mixia. It is a cartoon image with simple lines, and two handles are added on both sides, which is convenient for Jiang Maihua to support.

In the entire Jiangjia Village, only Jiang Maihua has such a Trojan horse.

Jiang Maihua was so happy that she was not riding the wooden horse every day, or calling friends and children around her age to come to her house and play with her on the wooden horse.

It can be said that the matter of playing with mud has been thrown out of the blue.

"Maihua seems to have grown a bit taller again. It is more than an inch taller than when it was Chinese New Year." Liu looked at Jiang Maihua who was playing with children, and rubbed the hemp in it into thin hemp rope.

After twisting the fine hemp rope, it needs to be wound into a ball of thread, which can be used for tying things, binding sacks, and storing shoe soles.

Rubbing hemp rope can be said to be an essential skill for women in every household. Bundles of hemp bought back are retting for enough time, then dried and scraped clean, and the remaining hemp fibers are twisted into hemp rope.

Rubbing hemp rope is a monotonous and boring thing, so often several women will get together to chat while working.

Today, Mrs. Liu came to Dafang to rub hemp rope with Mrs. Yang.

Fang's glued the soles of the shoes on the side, and glued the washed and waste fabrics to the board layer by layer with paste.

"Almost, I've grown quite a bit this spring." Yang replied, "I've also gained some weight. Looking strong and strong, it's very rare to attract people."

Jiang Maihua is the only granddaughter in the family, and the Yang family loves her very much. Seeing that Jiang Maihua's head is covered with sweat, she wiped it with a towel, and then called her to have a drink.

"Has Chunshi come back these days? It looks like he's going to harvest the wheat. When the time comes, will he come back to help, or will the head of the family hire someone to harvest?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"The wheat harvester has already agreed that he will come to work when the time comes. Chun Shi probably won't come back until the wheat is harvested." Yang said with a smile. Catch up the work in the shop, tidy up the yard, wait until the wheat harvest is over, and take the two of them to the county seat."

"No, I also said to rub the hemp rope quickly. It will be convenient to pack things and so on. The soles of the shoes have been dried recently, and I will help make two more pairs of shoes. Otherwise, when Mai Huaniang arrives In the county town, one person has to run a house, and he can’t take care of it.”

"That's right, the county town is no more worrying about everything than our village, and we need to make more arrangements." Liu echoed, "It's summer, and it's very hot, and the county town may not have as bright a yard as ours. I guess it will be very hot, so I asked Youcheng to weave a few bamboo mats and bamboo slaves, and when the time comes, I will take them with me, and it will be cool to hug and sleep at night."

"Thank you, Auntie." Fang thanked.

"What are you being polite to my aunt?" Liu smiled straight, "Don't be too frugal when you go to the county town, don't be reluctant to eat and drink, Chunshi is earning a lot now, and our family has a solid foundation, so don't care about it. He Jingyun also often goes to the county to deliver goods, if you need to carry things back and forth, tell them..."

Mrs. Liu has a good relationship with the family. She is said to be an aunt, and she is no different from a half-mother.

Fang Shi knew that Liu Shi also felt sorry for her and Jiang Chunshi, so they all responded with a smile.

When Mrs. Liu went back at night, she told Jiang Youcheng about it.

"Going to the county to buy a home is not an easy task. Later, you will think about it and help out." Liu reminded again.

"Yeah." Jiang Youcheng agreed with all his heart, and he was going to follow what Mrs. Liu said. In the past few days, let the workshop weave some household bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and bamboo slaves for cooling off in summer. When delivering goods to the county, they will be delivered in advance.

By the way, let Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun take a look to see if there is anything missing, and help with the shopping.

After talking to Liu Shi for a while, Jiang Youcheng was also very sleepy and lay down to sleep.

Holding a bamboo slave in his arms.

Not to mention, my daughter is very powerful. Changing the ordinary long bamboo slave into this kind of vase-like shape makes it more comfortable to hold, and the arms don't feel too tight.

Jiang Youcheng smacked his lips in satisfaction, and simply put his legs up.

Holding this bamboo slave is also cooler than before.

Even the back feels chilly...

Ok?
Chill in the back?
Jiang Youcheng was clever, sat up, looked at Liu Shi who was gouging out his eyes fiercely, "what's the matter, lady?"

Liu's lips twitched several times, but finally swallowed the words and lay down on her own, "It's okay, go to sleep."

"Oh." Jiang Youcheng felt a little puzzled, scratched his head in doubt, and then lay down to sleep.

Still holding the bamboo slave next to him tightly.

The back seems to be cooler...

Here, Jiang Mixia is also hugging a bamboo slave, sleeping beautifully.

I even kept feeling that the wisdom of the ancients was really powerful enough.

The shape of bamboo weaving into a long tube and hollowed out not only takes advantage of the coolness of bamboo itself, but also makes it easier for air to circulate through the hollowed out area, which can cool down and prevent heatstroke.

In this era without air-conditioning and electric fans, sleeping with such a bamboo slave at night cannot be too wonderful.

No wonder Zhu Slave also has a unique title, Mrs. Bamboo.

She is really a cutie who can't wait to marry back home.

Jiang Mixia patted the bamboo slave in her arms with satisfaction, and hugged him even tighter.

Song Jingyun's eyes became slightly resentful.

The lady hugged the bamboo slave, not him.

Or, consider making a bamboo slave that is big enough and can come in and out, and put him in it?
In this way, if the lady hugs Zhunu, it is equivalent to hugging him.

Hmm, good idea...

Song Jingyun thought this was a solution, so after breakfast the next morning, he went to the bamboo weaving workshop and started working.

Seeing Song Jingyun busy with so many pieces of good bamboo strips, the apprentices were also a little curious, so they took a look to see if he was going to make a new one.

After looking at it for a while, it was only when Song Jingyun made up a bamboo slave that he found out that he scattered and continued to do his own work.

"Master, if you want bamboo slaves, I'll make one up for you." An apprentice said.

Song Jingyun's craftsmanship in weaving bamboo products, they are all experienced, admired from the bottom of their hearts, and have all been taught by him, so no matter who is older than Song Jingyun or older than him, they all respectfully call him master.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself."

He has to do things for his wife to hug.

　Bamboo Slave, also known as Bamboo Lady, is an artifact used by ancient people to enjoy the cool air. They hug and sleep at night to cool off the heat. People who can’t afford Bamboo Lady will choose to sleep with winter melon in summer.

　　To be honest, I didn't think of hugging winter melon...
