Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 164 Some people are happy and some are sad

Yu is right, as long as someone is willing to learn, there is nothing he cannot learn.

The main thing is that this thing is not difficult. Everyone takes turns to learn. After mastering the operation method, they start to sew some simple locks. Of course, they all use discarded scraps to practice.

Within seven or eight days, almost everyone will know it, but some people are fast and some are slow.

Once the gap is revealed, everyone can compare. No one wants to be the worst. Therefore, those with slower hand speeds are willing to leave work later than others and study for a while, so that they can master it better. Be more skilled.

After using the machine, everyone began to dislike the slow speed of manual work, and asked every day when the machine would be ready.

As a result, the pressure was successfully put on the blacksmith.

In fact, after making the first batch, it became much easier to make the subsequent ones. The key point is that Lu Laoer went to different blacksmiths to make them according to He Jiuniang's instructions. Everyone's progress was different, and the parts were not available, so there was no way to assemble them at home.

Lu Laoer could only go to each blacksmith every day to collect the newly made parts, and then send them home to be assembled by several men in the family.

Zhang Song's injury has healed a lot. He can at least sit and assemble small parts without any problem. As for Lu Xiaoyang, he is still young after all and has already gone into business with Lotus.

The men in the family are the busiest every day. They get up early in the morning to process the feathers of poultry, and then follow the instructions of the puppy non-stop to learn to assemble the sewing machine.

That’s right, just learn from dogs!

He Jiuniang was going to the medical clinic and had no time to teach. Gou'er was the only one certified by He Jiuniang that he could assemble it, so he took on this important task.

He also likes to assemble small parts himself. If he can't handle the larger ones, he will teach his uncles at home to assemble them.

Mr. Sun paid him thirty cents a day, and he made a lot of money in the past few days, which added to his personal income.

Fortunately, among the children of the Lu family, Xiao Xiaoer is not the only one with private money. There are also three little girls, Lianhua, Youyatou, and Shanyatou. Lianhua made the money from doing business, while Youyatou and Shanya have money. The girl is learning embroidery from the embroiderers in the workshop.

Embroidery is a craft, and some custom-made clothing requires embroidery patterns, which requires additional labor.

Shan Yatou learned quickly because of her interest. She was able to embroider some decent flowers in just two or three months. Although You Yatou was not very interested, she was older than Shan Yatou after all, so she could still learn things. Fast, especially if the two of them learn and embroider hard, grandma will give them money, which will further stimulate their initiative.

As for the reading trio, after they started giving pocket money at home, as long as they taught their family members how to read and calligraphy seriously every night, no one would have three pennies in pocket money. Although the pocket money was not much, they were still very hopeful.

Especially Huzi, who also went to the bookstore to take over the job of copying books during this period.

Copying books to make money is something that many scholars do. Copying a book can not only consolidate the knowledge learned, but also make money. It is a very popular business.

You can earn more than [-] to [-] yuan by copying a book. The price for a good-looking book is high, but the price for an ordinary book is low. If the writing is really ugly, you won't be able to make this money.

The trio of students who are studying are all relatively young, and they have not been studying for a long time. Although they have studied very seriously, their writing is still somewhat unsatisfactory. Even the oldest Leizi can only reach the level of It’s only at the level of sixty articles.

But it was already pretty good, and the three of them worked out a plan.Leizi took over the job of copying books, and after returning home at night, he could copy books with peace of mind. Jiezi and Leizi were responsible for teaching their family to read and learn calligraphy, and then the money earned by the three of them was shared equally in the end.

Everyone in the family is making money and is very excited.

The Lu family's workshop has made many families in the village wealthy. Most families are happy and thinking that they can have a prosperous year this year, but some families can't even afford to eat.

Just like Qian Daniu's family.

Qian Daniu's family has never been very wealthy, mainly because the family has a small population and the family members are relatively lazy.

Especially after what happened to Lu Xiaoyang, Mrs. Li was also very angry with Qian Tieshu and stopped helping with things in the fields from that time on.

Qian Tieshu was so unhappy that he found it boring to manage it by himself, and began to let it go to waste. As a result, a lot of the crops in the field were wasted. He was not able to take them home in time during the busy farming period. Later, most of them were left to grow in the field. .

As a result, the already poor family is even worse.

Qian's bull legs were broken and he was in a bad mood. There was a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel for two days, and the family almost broke up.

"If you don't care about so much of the fields at home, just sell them all. I'm still so young. If my legs are so useless, how can I get a wife in the future?"

Qian Daniu had been thinking about selling the land for a long time. He wanted to sell it when he first came back, but Li and Qian Tiezhu didn't agree, so they put it off until now.

Nowadays, the family cannot afford not to mention surplus money, even surplus grain. If they still hold on to these pieces of land, I am afraid that the family of three will not be able to survive the New Year.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The fields are the lifeblood of the family. I'm going to borrow some grain from your eldest and second sister's house. Once I get through this winter and take care of it next spring, I'll definitely be able to live a good life."

Li refused subconsciously. Most of the food spoiled in the fields before, which made her extremely distressed. If she hadn't had an quarrel with the old man before, it wouldn't have happened like this. She regretted it after it happened, but there was no regret medicine to take. .

"You talk about looking for the eldest and second sisters every day. When did you see them come back? How long have you been telling them about my injury? Not to mention borrowing money, I haven't even seen a human figure! How long have you been looking at my legs? Now, I'm still acting like this. What if I can't get a wife in the future? Don't you want grandchildren?"

The two daughters married into the Qian family were considered filial. After many years of marriage, they would occasionally support their parents' family.

But in this era, if a married daughter continues to use things from her husband's family to supplement her parents' family, she will be scolded in the spine, so the two girls from the Qian family have also reduced their contact with their parents' family in the past two years.

So much so that Qian Daniu was injured and didn't come to visit him for such a long time.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li didn't feel very good. They said that married daughters throw water away, and they were right. The two daughters obviously didn't want to associate with their parents' families. Their only brother was injured like this. I didn't see you sending some food and money to visit.

After thinking about it, my son was the most reliable, so I started to hesitate a little. I looked at Qian Tieshu and said in a consultative tone: "Master, for the sake of my son, you see..."
