Space peasant girl: mother dressed as three oil bottles

Chapter 21 Reading Glasses

After returning to the room, Gu Li stepped into the space.A magnifying glass is a convex lens.Find two relatively smaller main lenses, and then make a frame.

She used bamboo chips as the frame material.Use a small knife to carve out a hook-like radian from thin bamboo slices, polish them smooth, and then glue them into a round frame with adhesive. Finally, fix the convex lens, and a pair of reading glasses is ready.

Gu Li tried it on, and it felt good, so he grabbed the glasses and ran out of the room.

"Mom, look at this thing I made."

In the room, Mrs. Shao was already measuring and marking the size with her hands.

But the window was far away, and the cloth could only be spread on the bed, and she almost put her eyes on it.Seeing Gu Li, he smiled slightly: "What is so happy!"

"I went to the street today and heard about this rare gadget, so I thought I'd get you one to try. These are called "reading glasses", which are specially for the elderly, and they are said to be worn to see things more clearly. Mom, you try!"

Gu Li put his eyes on her ears, and Mrs. Shao was too scared to move at first.After about a moment to get used to it, she started to walk slowly until she saw the fabric, her voice was pleasantly surprised: "It's really much clearer! It's almost as clear as when I was young."

"It's good to be useful!"

Gu Li saw that she had gotten used to it, and then began to pick up the fabric, saying: "Mother, the light in your room is not good, you should come to my room to make it."

Mrs. Shao agreed.The beds in Gu Li's house are bigger.The fabric is spread out and easy to cut, and the most important thing is the sunny side, which can be seen clearly.This fabric was bought with money, but she couldn't cut it.

"I'd better take this thing off first, otherwise it will be a waste of money if it breaks!"

Mrs. Shao stopped after walking a few steps, then took off the reading glasses from the bridge of her nose, and held them carefully in her hands.Right now, she is still in the adaptation stage, so she must always pay attention, so that she doesn't accidentally ruin it.Gu Li frowned when he heard her talking to himself.I thought to myself, I still have to talk to the old lady about the silver.Otherwise, she always thinks that the family has eaten until the last meal, and she is reluctant to part with anything.

In fact, even without that orb, Gu Li believed that with her ability, she would be able to live comfortably.

After putting the things away, Gu Li stopped Mrs. Shao, who was about to keep busy.

"Mom, there is something I want to tell you."

Seeing her serious expression, Mrs. Shao also put away her smile.

"Mom, I accidentally picked up a glowing bead when I went up the mountain to catch wild animals the day before yesterday, and I took it to the town to exchange money. So, our family is rich now, so don't worry about having no money. .Besides, I’m still young, and I can still make money! In the future, I’ll be sure to prepare the money for Da Mao’s schooling and marrying a wife!”

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Shao looked around nervously, then swallowed and said, "How much did the beads sell for?"

Gu Li stretched out two fingers.

"200 taels~" Mrs. Shao covered her mouth excitedly.

Gu Li blinked, okay!If you say it is 200 taels, it is 200 taels.It's inconvenient to really talk about the red fox giving the beads, and I don't know how to explain it at that time!
Anyway, as long as Mrs. Shao doesn't worry about running out of money all day long, it will be fine.

"Yes, mother! Now that we have money, we don't have to live as hard as before. From now on, you and the triplets only need to eat well, drink well, and take good care of your body."

Granny Shao calmed down after she was overjoyed.
"Gu Li, 200 taels is indeed a lot. But we still have to keep a low profile, and don't waste what should be saved. Otherwise, if someone with a heart finds out, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!"

"Mother, don't worry, I put the silver at Babaozhai in the town, it's safe and ruthless. At home, we just keep some broken silver for backup. If we don't tell, no one will know. Besides, I still have my hands If you have feet, you will definitely not be the person who sits and eats mountains."

Gu Li explained to her patiently, until he saw Mrs. Shao let out a long breath, "God bless my old Shao's family!"

"Mom, come and see!"

The calls of the three little ones came from the yard, and Mrs. Shao put on her reading glasses and smiled at her: "Go and see the children!"

Gu Li nodded and came to the courtyard.

The female goat is tied to a stake in the corner of the yard.The three little ones pulled some green grass from nowhere, and were feeding it with a big laugh.

"Mother, you can see that it is very happy to eat. But why does the goat eat grass and pull out milk?"

When Gu Li heard Xiao Sanmao's words, his face was filled with black lines. What was pulled out was obviously squeezed out, the squeezed goat's milk.She quickly shook her head and put the words behind her.Otherwise, I don’t want to drink the goat’s milk next time.

Little Sanmao still didn't give up, and asked Gu Li again: "Mom, can I sleep with the goat tonight?"

Before Gu Li could answer, Er Mao interrupted and said, "You're so stupid, the goat doesn't take a bath, so sleeping with it will stink to death?"

"San Mao was afraid that the goat would be stolen, so he wanted to watch it at night."

Da Mao, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this time to explain for Xiao San Mao.

It's just that when he said something, the three little ones all looked worried.

The chicken shed last time made Shao Xiaowen so noisy and dilapidated, and the location is a bit far from the main house. If you keep the goats there, you can't find any movement for a while, and it's really hard to guarantee that there will be no accidents.

"It would be nice to have a dog! Seeing that you can afford sheep, it shouldn't be difficult to raise a dog!"

The daughter-in-law of Shao Guang next door climbed up the ladder to dry things on the wall again. Hearing their discussion, she couldn't help but speak in a sour tone.

Hey, in just two days, the old Shao's family even bought sheep.

Gu Li had a little impression of Shao Guang's wife.She's just a little gossip, she's not bad, she's not evil.In addition, it seems that I like to climb the wall from time to time to say a few words like today.

But today, she got to the point.

It is indeed possible to have a dog, or even several.There is no strong laborer in the family except myself, if a thief or something comes, no one will know if someone has been stolen.

It's just that, in this rural area right now, everyone is struggling with the problem of food and clothing. It seems that no one has heard of any family with surplus food to raise a dog.

"Sister-in-law, do you know who has a puppy in our village?"

Gu Li thought that Shao Guang's daughter-in-law was such a gossip, so she must be well-informed.

Sure enough, she heard her answer in the next second:
"It's better to catch up sooner! The litter of puppies in Shao Baojun's family happened to be full moon yesterday, and I heard that no one is willing to raise them after asking around. I can't raise so many at home, and their Feng girl said that no one wants them. , take them all to the future in-law’s house!”

Speaking of this, Shao Guang's wife deliberately looked at Gu Li, teasing with a smile,

"This Chen Mei is Shao Baojun's daughter-in-law, I'm afraid you may not be able to get it."

Gu Li didn't take it seriously.Is Chen Mei unwilling to give it to you?Isn't there another Shao Feng?
Thinking of this, she stood up and smiled at Shao Guang's wife, "Thank you sister-in-law for letting me know. I'll go to Brother Baojun's house right now!"

Shao Guang's daughter-in-law's eyes sparkled, hehe, there was another good show to watch.
