Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 43 Brushes and Toothbrushes

A table of people sat around and ate simple meals, but the atmosphere was harmonious.Xu Xiaomi will never forget this feeling.

After dinner, Xu Xiaomi and his mother helped grandma clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and they were about to go home; grandpa was reluctant to part with the three children, so he brought out a small wooden windmill with fine workmanship for Xu Hao.

Xu Hao held the windmill and shook it gently on the table happily, making Xu Xiaoting so envious that she wanted to play with her brother.

Grandpa watched it like a magic trick, and shook out a small and cute wooden figure from his sleeve and handed it to Xiaoting.

Xu Xiaomi took the wooden figure given by her grandfather and happily pulled it in her hand. Xu Hao said she wanted to see it, but she just let it be seen in her hand, and she didn't want others to touch it.

When Xu Xiaomi saw them, she just looked at them and smiled.Grandpa walked up to her and asked, "Son, what do you want? Grandpa will make it for you!"

Xu Xiaomi was very excited and asked, "Grandpa, you did all these?"

Grandpa looked at her lovingly and said, "Yes!"

"Really? Grandpa can do carpentry?" Xu Xiaomi blinked her big eyes and asked her cutely.

"Well! Yes! Grandpa is a carpenter and knows how to do carpentry. In the future, if you want to make gadgets, just tell grandpa." Grandpa looked at her and said solemnly.

Xu Xiaomi wanted it to be true, but she wanted her grandfather to make her a toothbrush first.It has been more than ten days since I came here, and the feeling in my mouth without brushing my teeth is indescribably uncomfortable.

But don't know what to use to make the bristles on the toothbrush?She thought of this and said to Grandpa: "Grandpa, I really want to ask you to make me a little thing. I will draw it for you!"

As Xu Xiaomi said, he went to the stove and brought a fire stick, and drew a big toothbrush on the ground with the burnt area.

Grandpa looked at it and asked, "What is this?"

Xu Xiaomi put down the stick in his hand and replied seriously: "Grandpa, this one, make it bigger, it can be used to wash clothes; if it's smaller, it can be used as a toothbrush."

Grandpa looked at the picture drawn on the ground, then looked at Xu Xiaomi and said, "Is it so good? I haven't heard of it. I only know that in rich families, young ladies and young masters always use green salt to rinse their mouths. I haven't heard of toothache. brushed."

"Grandpa, don't think so much, you can make me a big one and a small one first! I'll go and see if there's anything I'm looking for." Xu Xiaomi was fair to the outsider.

Zhou Xuewu really started to make it for his granddaughter.Small and simple, I found a one-foot-long board and chopped it down an inch with a knife to make two.

Just as the big one was about to be cut, Xu Xiaomi came in from behind and said, "Grandpa, the big one can be made shorter, so that this piece of material can be made into three."

Zhou Xuewu looked at his granddaughter, and at the materials in his hand, and felt that he didn't understand what she said, anyway, he could do as she told her to do!When the time comes, don't do it well, and you won't waste much material anyway.

Xu Xiaomi saw that her grandfather had no objection, so she went to look for materials to make toothbrush bristles.She came to the ear room where the pigs and chickens were kept, and saw some dried pig hairs in a bamboo sieve.

This should be the hair of the slaughtered pig some time ago!This hair is selected to be used as the hair on the clothes brush.

oh!Wait, Mao... this should be good for toothbrush bristles, right?Xu Xiaomi thought of it and took out the pig hair sieve.

She saw that grandpa was already turning the hole, so she hurriedly put down the pig hairs and picked them one by one.

After choosing a dozen or so, she called her mother to help, and asked her father to find some strong hemp to tie the selected pig hairs together.

Xu Hao and Xu Xiaoting saw that everyone was helping, so they also came to help choose together.There are so many people and so much power!Soon enough brush hairs were selected, and everyone helped tie them up pinch by pinch.

After the selected hairs were tied up, Xu Xiaomi began to teach his parents and grandparents.

Put the tied pig hair into the holes that have been rotated by the outside, and then use the hemp rope to fix the holes one by one, tie them up and tie the heads to prevent slipping.

Soon, three brushes are ready.Xu Xiaomi asked her mother and grandmother to cut the long hair neatly with scissors, so that the brush can be put into use.

Xu Xiaomi took the freshly made brush and brushed it on her clothes.

Mother looked at it with a smile and asked, "Can this really clean clothes?"

"Mother! This place can only be said to be dirty and easy to wash. You see, we use the mallet for laundry now. Even if the clothes are smashed, some dirty juice can't be washed away.

It is easy and clean for you to wash clothes with this. When I have money, I will ask my grandfather to make more and sell them in the market. What do you think? "

"Hey! It's really as good as you said, we will make it and sell it in the future!" Grandma smiled after hearing what the mother and daughter said.

"Grandma, here are three. We only need one, and you can keep the remaining two. If you think it's useful, how about asking grandpa to make more?"

Seeing her grandmother's disbelief, Xu Xiaomi said.

"Okay! That's it!" Grandpa said.

Grandma still nodded suspiciously.

Clothes brushes are no problem.However, the toothbrush she is going to make is not ready yet!
She tried to tie five or six pig hairs and fix them on the wooden board. She also used scissors to cut the long ones neatly like a clothes brush.

Take the brush in your hand and take a look, alas!This is really similar to the toothbrush in the previous life!Apart from the color is not beautiful, the other is really impossible to pick.This is what Xu Xiaomi wanted to do the most when he came here—a toothbrush, finally came out!
