Chapter 91 Weaving (four more)
Jiang Yunshu said: "The shopkeeper also lent us this umbrella. When the rain stops later, I will find a chance to give it to the shopkeeper."

Jiang Yunshu shook the umbrella and put the rain under the eaves.

Both Jiang Yunmian and Xuanxuan went over to look curiously.

"This is the umbrella, it's so pretty."

They don't have umbrellas at home, so it's strange to see umbrellas.

Before going to the market, there were stalls selling umbrellas. If you don’t buy them, people are not allowed to look at them casually.

"It looks very solid."

"It's so windy outside, no matter how it blows, it didn't hang up the shelf."

Jiang Yunhua thought of going to the town before, and saw that there were ladies in the town holding oil-paper umbrellas, and they all looked very good-looking.

She looked at it and wanted to touch it, but resisted touching it for fear of breaking it.

Jiang Zhiluo saw how her younger brothers and sisters liked umbrellas very much, and knew that her family didn't even have an umbrella since she was a child.

Once it rains, there is nothing to shelter from the rain.

At most, use a piece of oil paper to block the hair.

Jiang Zhiluo knows how to make oiled paper umbrellas, but oiled paper umbrellas are all made of bamboo, and they may not have bamboo in the northern cold.

Generally, there are more bamboos in the south.

But there is no umbrella at home, and it is very inconvenient to go out once it rains.

Jiang Zhiluo thought for a while and said, "Father and mother, do you know where there is bamboo on our side?"

Ye Shi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I really don't know where there are bamboos, Zhiluo, do you want to use bamboo?"

Jiang Xiangchuan said: "Zhiluo, if you use bamboo, Dad will ask more about it later."

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Well, if you have bamboo, Mom and Dad, you can make oil-paper umbrellas by yourself with Dad's craftsmanship."

When they heard about making oil-paper umbrellas, everyone showed disbelief.

Both Jiang Yunmian and Xuanxuan looked at Sister A with adoring eyes, thinking that Sister A is so amazing.

Ye Shi and Jiang Xiangchuan looked at each other, and felt that it was a smart girl to marry.

They didn't ask much.

"Sister can make oiled paper umbrellas?"

Jiang Yunshu couldn't believe it.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Once I saw an old craftsman do it, I probably know how to do it, but I haven't done it myself, maybe my father can make it."

Jiang Yunzheng hurriedly said: "I usually go to the pier to ask more, maybe I know where there are bamboos."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "If you don't have bamboo, you can look for palm trees near this mountain and cut some brown skins to make coir raincoats. At least you can use the coir raincoats to cover the rain when you go out on rainy days."

When Jiang Zhiluo mentioned the coir raincoat, everyone was also stunned.

They really hadn't thought about making coir raincoats, and they didn't know what a palm tree was.

Jiang Zhiluo described the appearance of the palm tree in detail.

In fact, it is easy to make a coir raincoat after getting the palm trees. There is no complicated process, but it takes time to sew.

But parents, brothers and sisters can make it when they find time.

It is always more convenient to have a coir raincoat at home to shelter from the rain.

Especially in spring when there is a lot of rain, it is impossible not to go out when it rains.

Hearing what Jiang Zhiluo said, the whole family was very excited.

Especially Jiang Yunzheng and Jiang Yunmian wished the rain would stop soon so they could go to the mountains to look for palm trees.

"If it's raining, it's easy to get wet wearing our cloth shoes. You can make straw sandals and wear straw sandals to go out."

Jiang Zhiluo can make straw sandals.

It happened that there were some cattail grass at home, so Jiang Xiangchuan and Mrs. Ye took some out.

Jiang Zhiluo taught the family to weave straw sandals.

The people in the village are all handy, such things as carrying baskets, baskets and straw mats are all woven by themselves.

So Jiang Zhiluo taught her to weave straw sandals, and everyone soon learned it.

The family is weaving straw sandals while talking, and it is also fun.

"The soles of the woven straw shoes are thicker, so you don't have to worry about rainy days."

The cloth shoes of this era are also the shoes that everyone pays for themselves on weekdays, and everyone is reluctant to wear them on weekdays.

If it gets dirty and broken on a rainy day, everyone will feel distressed.

Wearing straw sandals is different.

Just break it and do it again.

Moreover, cattail grass is strong and tough, and it is not easy to break after weaving.

Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened.

The rain outside has also gradually decreased a lot.

Jiang Zhiluo was so immersed in manual work that she temporarily forgot everything about the outside world.

……

Cui's house in Donghe Village

Mrs. Cui was very worried when she saw the heavy rain.

Of course, Mrs. Cui's mind was full of Jiang Zhiluo, and she almost forgot that Cui Hejin had to go home after school.

"Although Zhiluo is not in a hurry to go home, but it is raining heavily, will she not be able to come back at night?"

Mrs. Cui was still not used to Jiang Zhiluo not coming back.

She felt that Zhiluo was at home on weekdays, and she had the backbone and strength to do everything.

But when Zhiluo returned to her natal family, she felt that she had no energy to do anything.

"I don't know when the rain will stop."

Mrs. Cui was busy with the work in hand, while talking to herself.

In the evening, the rain gradually became lighter, and Cui Hejin went home with an umbrella.

"I'm back!"

Mrs. Cui raised her head excitedly, and saw that it was Cui Hejin, she put away her excited expression, and said, "I'm back!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and continued to work.

Cui Hejin's expression was clear and meaningful, and the frost and snow in his picturesque eyes faded.

"mother……"

Cui Hejin's ending sound was light, as if there was something to say.

Mrs. Cui said: "What's wrong?"

"Mother is not feeling well, it's raining and cold, mother should add more clothes."

Mrs. Cui said: "Mother will take care of herself. If you have this heart, show more consideration to Zhiluo, and Mother will feel relieved."

Cui Hejin's expression changed slightly, "But what happened to Zhiluo?"

Before Mrs. Cui could say anything, Cui Hejin had already stepped into the room, but she didn't see Jiang Zhiluo. Cui Hejin's picturesque eyes were filled with flickering light, as if there was a tinge of coldness.

Mrs. Cui looked at her son and knew that he was not as cold and indifferent towards Zhiluo as he appeared on the surface.

She said: "After lunch, Zhiluo went to her mother's house. I told her not to come back in a hurry, but Zhiluo also said that she would come back for dinner."

"But she didn't expect it to rain heavily, and she didn't bring an umbrella."

"I was wondering if she would stay at her mother's house overnight."

"I don't think so on weekdays, but if Zhiluo isn't at home, I'm really not used to it."

Mrs. Cui chattered and looked at the rain outside. Although the rain was lightening, she couldn't come back without an umbrella.

"You said that if Zhiluo came back from the rain, her body would be drenched by the rain, and she would easily catch a cold!"

Hearing her mother's words, Cui Hejin's expression became more restrained, she picked up the umbrella she brought back from the school, and stepped into the rain.

"Hejin, where are you going?"

Cui Hejin didn't turn his head back, his eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars, he said softly, "Mother, I'll take Zhiluo home."

Cui Hejin was holding an umbrella, and her whole body carried a dusty and elegant aura.

His voice was clear and low-mellow, like running water hitting a rock, moist and deep, drifting away with the wind in the rain, making it impossible to distinguish his emotions.
