I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 103

Ning Youzhi never thought that this straw curtain would be so easy.

But it looks easy, but when it comes to hands, only a few of them can weave it well. For the rest, the straw is loose, and it can be pulled out with a single tug.

Ning Pengpeng shook his head and said to those people.

"If you can't do it, call the rest of your family to learn."

There was no way, a few of them could only go back in despair, and called their wives and children over.

Sure enough, women's hands are much more dexterous than men's.

It's just that after practicing a few more times, the weaving of the straw curtain is almost the same as that of Ning Pengpeng!
"Okay, you guys go back, remember to make up some more."

After teaching them, Ning Pengpeng drove them away!
After they left, Ning Pengpeng called Ning Laoer to chop off the branches of the bamboo brought by the villagers, then cut them crosswise, and then knocked off the inner bamboo joints, and put the middle part on the fire for a while. Then twist and bend to form a large semicircle.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Looking at the bamboo strips in his hands, Ning Laoer looked confused. Is this for making bows and arrows?

But it can't be that big, right?
The length of this bamboo strip is as long as three people!

"Come here, follow how you made this pepper seedling, and now make a bigger one."

After Ning Pengpeng made a few bamboo strips, he took Ning Er Er to the backyard, pointed to the pepper seedling field that had been covered with straw, and said to him.

"Be a big one? Okay, mother, you wait."

Although Ning Er Er didn't understand, he still honestly followed what Ning Pengpeng said.

Not to mention, Ning Laoer's speed was extremely fast, and he quickly planted the bamboo sticks in a row of land.

"It's all done here, too."

Ning Pengpeng pointed to the dry land next to which no peppers were planted. Now that they have done it, they will do it all!

When it's done, ask the second child to turn over the ground inside again.

"Hey, okay."

Ning Lao Er immediately nodded in response, and when all these bamboo sticks were baked and inserted, it would be dark soon.

"Let's have dinner here later, and call Mian'er and the others.

Tomorrow, remember to go to the few houses that came over today to see how the straw curtains are doing!

If there is a compiled one, bring it over first.

By the way, you can ask the third and fourth children, do they want to do the same in their backyard? "

The snow is not particularly heavy, and I hope it will not fall too much tomorrow, otherwise, the snow in the fields will have to be scraped to cover the straw curtains.

"Okay, Mom."

Second Ning nodded, regardless of whether the third and fourth children would do it or not, he would definitely do it.

He put the remaining extra bamboo in his yard, and planned to do the same for the field ridges in his backyard tomorrow.

Ning Youzhi returned home, and the one who went to Ning Pengpeng's house today was his eldest son Ning Yongping.

"Father, this job is easy, I'll let Xianglan learn it too!"

Ning Youzhi glanced at the third child, and then called Yang to call out the eldest and second child, including the youngest daughter Ning Tian'er, into the living room.

"Just now, Uncle Lu came to tell me about making straw curtains, and only the third child is willing to learn with me.

Now, the third child and I have learned how to tie the straw curtains. If you are willing to learn together, then we will teach you.

If you don't want to learn, and then you see that the third child's family has made money, then don't say in private that I, a father, prefer the third child's family. "

The boss Ning Yongjin glanced at his daughter-in-law Zhou Hui, and when she saw her staring at him, he immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

The second child, Ning Yongwen, seemed indifferent. After thinking about it, he said to Ning Youzhi.

"Father, let Cui Jing follow suit!

Anyway, the straw at home is used, and it doesn't cost much. "

Hearing what the second child said, Zhou Hui immediately raised his head and glanced at him.

After thinking about it, he also said with a smile.

"Second brother is right, it doesn't cost much anyway, let me learn it together!"

Ning Tian'er lowered her head and did not speak, but shook her head to express her unwillingness to learn.

She is seventeen this year and is about to get married!
If you get this straw and make your hands thick, where are you going to cry?

Moreover, her fiancé is from the town.

She already had low self-esteem, she was not as fair as the girls in the town, and her hands were not as soft as the girls in the town.

Although she doesn't need to work in the fields, Ning Tian'er still takes care of some housework at home.

Seeing that his youngest daughter was unwilling to learn, Ning Youzhi knew her thoughts in his heart, so he didn't force it.

He nodded to Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Cui, and then called them to bring the straw.

"Third, you can teach your daughter-in-law yourself!"

When Zhou Hui went to move the straw, Ning Yongjin couldn't help but leaned forward.

"Didn't you say before that you can't earn much money by making straw curtains? Why are you suddenly willing to learn again?"

Zhou Hui rolled his eyes at him and replied angrily.

"Now at home, your three sons are all studying, and there is not even one who can help.

Although we don't need to pay for it now, what if we have to pay for it ourselves in the future?
And the eldest is nine years old this year, and in a few years, we will have to get engaged to him, so we can't have nothing in our pockets!

I've thought about it, anyway, this straw doesn't cost money, and we can earn a penny. "

Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Ning Yongjin nodded immediately, and suddenly realized that his daughter-in-law was more thoughtful than he thought.

On the other side, Ning Yongwen and Cui Jing were also whispering.

Cui Jing said to her man without saying anything: "Then you want to hit you when you hit the straw curtains, why do you want me to learn? I don't learn, don't think I don't know, it is said to be straw curtains, but it is actually rubbing straw ropes." Woolen cloth!

Look at my hands, are you willing to let my hands be covered with calluses? "

It has to be said that Cui Jing's hands, even though they often work in the fields with her husband, are still a little fleshy and soft to the touch, like steamed buns, without any calluses at all.

This is all due to Cui Jing's good maintenance, often soaking her hands in rice washing water.

It is hard to soak all the places that are prone to calluses during normal work with rice washing water, and then keep pressing the places that are prone to calluses to let the meat relax.

Therefore, her hands have never looked like working hands.

"Daughter-in-law, Dad has already said so, it's not good if we don't do this job!

Moreover, my aunt is now a cash cow, so if she asked Uncle Youlu to come over and talk about it, she might be able to make a lot of money!

Besides, we don't want us to spend money, you just watch it first, if it is difficult to learn, don't learn it. "

Ning Yongwen coaxed Cui Jing.

Hearing what her man said, Cui Jing pouted and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Ning Youzhi and Yang Shi were both in the living room, waiting for the daughters-in-law to come in, Ning Youzhi taught them patiently.

At the beginning, Zhou Hui and Cui Jing didn't pay much attention to it, but after a while, they couldn't help it.

When a piece of grass curtain was opened, their eyes were full of joy.

"Father, is it that simple?"

"That's right, if the snow still falls in the future, it's not bad to just stay at home and make a straw curtain."

Zhou Hui nodded vigorously, feeling that he would definitely be able to make a long straw curtain in one day.
