Wen Family Has a Wife

   Chapter 72 Weaving

  It was also at this time that the villagers learned that the Wen family had bought a donkey and got a donkey cart. The whole village was boiling. This was the first donkey cart in Fushan Village.

Standing in his yard, Mrs. Li raised her head and stared at the high wall halfway up the mountain with admiration. After so long, the Wen family seemed to have become unattainable. This feeling was even worse after Sun Laifu found a master for his son. .

   "Mother, when did you say that Youshan was so capable, and now that he has a donkey cart, he doesn't want to bring our family a blessing." Xiao Li was sour when he spoke.

   Mrs. Li put the pot down heavily and scolded: "Hu Lielie! Everyone knows that you have the ability to have a mountain. Now that people are living well, it is because Mr. Deng has the ability. What ability do you have?"

Xiao Li was stagnant for a while, and this statement was too heart-wrenching. She wanted to refute, but she agreed with her mother-in-law. She didn't forget the arresters who entered the village. I heard that it was Deng's invitation. Why did Deng suddenly So awesome?

There are many people who have the same idea with the Xiao Li family, but everyone's relationship with the Wen family is just average, and it is not easy to ask so straightforwardly. .

   I don't know how it was passed on, but it was passed on to the back that Wen Youshan had a wealthy Yue family.

  Wen Youshan came back from the outside with a depressed look on his face, and the second monk asked Chen Ningya puzzledly, "Miss, why do you keep asking me what your parents' family is doing when everyone sees me recently?"

  Chen Ningya was picking leaves, when she heard it, she was even more at a loss than Wen Youshan, "I've never been out before, ask me who I'm asking?"

  Wen Youshan shook his head, didn't ask if he didn't understand, stared at the green leaves, widened his eyes, "Have the lady's silkworm hatched?"

  Chen Ningya nodded fiercely and took Wen Youshan to visit her silkworm house. Wen Youshan was shocked by the dense number of silkworms in the house, and she refused to go in for a second time.

   In order not to get close to the silkworm house, Wen Youshan didn't even go home. Every day, he would get up before dawn to fetch water, and then go to the beach to catch the sea, so busy that Chen Ningya couldn't see anyone.

   After going crazy like this for more than a month, Wen Yuanzhen suddenly grabbed him, "Father, why do you go out early and come back late every day, are you really so busy?"

  Wen Youshan's legs froze as he stepped out of the house, he turned around with a dry smile, and whispered, "Dad will make money for you to buy delicious food."

"Don't, the ones bought from outside are not as good as mother's." Wen Yuanzhen stomped her feet, grabbed the corner of Wen Youshan's clothes tightly, and muttered, "Father, don't leave today, mother said she was going to cook today. Silkworm cocoon, this is physical work, I don't have much energy, I can't help, I'm afraid it's enough for my mother alone."

  Wen Youshan's body loosened, and he walked back quickly, muttering as he walked, "You didn't say it sooner! By the way, are there only cocoons and no silkworms in the room?"

  Wen Yuanzhen nodded with big bright eyes. It took a while for her to react, and she exclaimed, "Dad, you're not afraid of silkworms, are you? No wonder you haven't been seen for a while."

   "Shh! Be quiet my little ancestor!" Wen Youshan covered Wen Yuanzhen's mouth, looked around, and found that no one let go, his eyes were full of warnings.

  Wen Yuanzhen held back her laughter and led him into the silkworm house. The shelf was already empty, and there were several baskets of white silkworm cocoons stacked in the aisle. Wen Youshan hurriedly asked, "How to do it?"

Wen Yuanzhen wisely shouted to the backyard, and soon called Chen Ningya in, Wen Youshan was so guilty that she didn't dare to look at Chen Ningya, and said very graciously, "Miss, what do you say? , I'll come, you don't have to do it."

  Chen Ningya glanced at him angrily, and teased, "Aren't you going to hide now?"

   "Hehe." Wen Youshan just wanted to find a seam to get in, which is too embarrassing! In order not to let Chen Ningya hold on to this matter, he hurriedly moved the basket out.

After all the baskets were emptied, Wen Youshan discovered that there were dozens of these cocoons. Before he could ask Chen Ningya, he said, "There are too many cocoons, we can't use them all at once, so we keep some of them and bake the rest for storage. , There is a mountain, you need to help me build a stove in the yard, put the water tank on it to cook the cocoons, and I will bake the other cocoons."

  Wen Youshan has no objection, he will do whatever Chen Ningya asks him to do without hesitation.

   When the stove was set up and the water in the tank was boiling, Chen Ningya immediately poured the cocoon into it, Wen Youshan was in charge of stirring constantly, and Wen Yuanzhen set the fire.

Chen Ningya checked from time to time and found that the head of the silk had fallen out, so Wen Youshan fished it out and continued to cook a new batch. This repeated, the cocoon cooking proceeded in an orderly manner, and Chen Ningya had to take care of the other cocoon. Baking, the time is gone after a busy day, and the family of three has been busy for three consecutive days before finishing the silkworm cocoons.

  The next step is to wind the silk. The six silkworm cocoons are combined into one thread. At this moment, the hand-reeling cart made by Wen Youshan will come in handy.

Wen Youshan has always had no confidence in what he was doing. When Chen Ningya started reeling silk, he stared wide-eyed and saw that the silk thread could really be reeled after the tool started to run. The whole person was stunned. Speaking of Wen Youshan, even Wen Yuanzhen was amazed. A silkworm cocoon can wrap a kilometer of silk thread. Wen Youshan also got one for her.

Wen Youshan started it directly, and once it was born, it was cooked twice. This time, he didn't need Chen Ningya's command. He only looked at the drawings to know how things worked. After three days of hard work, Wen Yuanzhen's hand-reeled car was completed, watching It is much better than the one used by Chen Ningya. Only then did Chen Ningya realize that Wen Youshan had improved her drawings. The hand she uses has to be rocked back and forth, and she needs to lean forward slightly when working. The one of hers is designed to swing left and right, and people only need to stand still. It seems that the efficiency is much faster than hers.

  Chen Ningya was surprised, "Youshan, what do you think?"

  Wen Youshan said embarrassedly, "It's not that our girl is relatively small. If she wants to help you, it will be difficult for her to work, so I will change her direction. Anyway, it will be done without affecting the function."

   "Not only does it not affect the function, but it can also speed up the work! You are really amazing."

  Wen Youshan was praised by Chen Ningya for her beauty, so she made a new one for her immediately. The finished silk thread was transferred from the winding car to the silk thread. After the warp and weft were processed, the weaving could be started.

Weaving Wen Youshan was not at home this day, so he went out with a donkey cart before dawn. In this season, there are many things on the beach, and they are very plump. He tried his best to bring a cart of fresh things to the county town for about three or two. , One back and forth in the day, tired is a little tired, but also earn more.
