Chapter 43

Before it got completely dark, Jiang Shuxin returned home smoothly.

She was so tired today that she just ate a few bites of dinner, and then went into the room to wash up with water.

Jiang Shuyun only knew that she was busy these days, but she didn't expect that she would tire herself into such a state.

The Four Treasures, who helped Jiang Shuyun to wash the dishes, looked at her worried face and comforted her: "Sister, don't worry."

"Let her sleep and don't disturb her."

While talking about the Four Treasures, he pointed to Jiang Shang who was sitting on the small chair, and then pointed to himself and Jiang Shuyun respectively.

Jiang Shuyun laughed. She naturally understood what Four Treasures said, but she didn't expect this little girl to be so sensitive that she could actually see her worries.

"It's okay, my sister is just worried that Jiang Er is too tired and broke down."

Although she knew that Jiang Shuxin was in good health, she was inevitably worried that she was a young girl with so many things to do every day, so how could she not be tired.

Hearing Jiang Shuyun say this, Sibao's face became a little worried. She kept her mouth shut and didn't speak. She suddenly shook the water from her hand and ran out.

Jiang Shuyun was startled by her behavior, and wanted to chase after her, but she couldn't leave Jiang Shang alone in the kitchen. As soon as she picked up Jiang Shang, the Four Treasures who had gone out had already returned, with two pieces in her hand. eggs.

Jiang Shuyun looked at her puzzled.

Sibao's face was a little red, and she seemed to be running in a hurry. She stretched the egg in front of Jiang Shuyun and said happily, "Sister cooked it, Jiang Er ate it, it's nutritious!"

In the world of the Four Treasures, eggs are the most nutritious and the best food for the body, and one of the few good things she has eaten before.

Jiang Shuyun looked at the two round eggs in Sibao's hand, and was stunned for a moment. Although their family did not lack these things, she also knew how much Sibao valued these things in the past, because they didn't have to eat them before. , so it is regarded as a treasure. She ate all the eggs cooked for her on weekdays.

"The Four Treasures are really good, and they are also good to Jiang Er."

Jiang Shuyun was not stingy in her praise for the Four Treasures. She thought that the Four Treasures were ignorant, but as they got along these days, she could also see that the Four Treasures depended on and liked Jiang Shuxin. It is understandable for Jiang Shuxin to spoil her, and the Four Treasures will also use their own clumsy methods to take care of Jiang Shuxin.

Facing Jiang Shuyun's praise, Sibao smiled shyly, and said with a little embarrassment: "Jiang Er is good, Sibao likes it."

Jiang Shuyun was also clear about the matter of their young couple, so she didn't ask any more questions, and at the request of the Four Treasures, she told her to go back to the house and go to bed as soon as possible.

In the house, Jiang Shuxin fell asleep long ago, and Sibao took the water and cleaned himself up, then carefully climbed onto the couch, took off his clothes and hung them up; stepped on the bedding beside Jiang Shuxin and climbed to the inside to lie down.

Jiang Shuxin had noticed it as early as when Sibao entered the house, waiting for the slow little girl to pack herself up, she couldn't help but was about to fall asleep, so she simply closed her eyes and didn't bother to care about her anymore.

Sibao knew that Jiang Shuxin was sleeping, so he burrowed into her arms, found a comfortable place to nest, and then took Jiang Shuxin's arm and put it on his waist, Jiang Shuxin took the opportunity to hug the person into her arms, and led him to sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Shuxin woke up early, slept well all night, and woke up refreshed.

Jiang Shuyun brought the prepared breakfast to her from the kitchen. Seeing her laziness, she said, "You don't need to eat more. These eggs are specially made by your family's Four Treasures for me to cook for you."

"Really?" Jiang Shuxin held a freshly peeled egg, thought for a while and then said, "She is a good wife who will be distressed, so I will eat more."

Jiang Shuyun felt disturbed when she looked at her indecent appearance. She put a bowl of rice porridge in front of her and gave her a sideways glance.

"Good daughter-in-law, why don't you treat others well? It's almost winter. You should prepare some thick clothes such as jackets for her. I think that's all she brought from the Yu family."

Speaking of this Jiang Shuxin didn't mean to refute, thinking that it was indeed a bit of a mistreatment of the Four Treasures, she knew that she would buy food for her all day, but she didn't pay attention to the clothes she was wearing.

"Okay, I'll figure it out. I'll go to collect the net first, and I'll pick up the Four Treasures and go to town later."

Without waiting for Jiang Shuyun to say something, Jiang Shuxin picked up a few eggs and walked outside the house. Seeing that she still knew how to get a few eggs, Jiang Shuyun didn't say much, and turned around and went back to the house to take care of the children.

As said yesterday, today's weather has turned bad, the sun is hidden behind thick dark clouds, and the whole sky is foggy. Jiang Shuxin is glad that yesterday was not too far from the shore. It will be stormy for a while.

Going to sea can be difficult.

After collecting the things, he went home and brought the Four Treasures with him. Jiang Shuxin looked up at the sky, and told Jiang Shuyun that he should not be back at noon, so he took people to the town.

Halfway down the road, the drizzle began to fall, the wind was whistling, and the temperature was lower than before; Sibao was nestled in the carriage, and she was wearing Jiang Shuxin's clothes that Jiang Shuyun had turned out from home in the morning. The quilted apricot-colored jacket is a little too big, and it doesn't fit well on the body.

Jiang Shuxin rolled up her sleeves for her, pinched her soft cheeks, and asked her, "Is it cold?"

The Four Treasures are naturally not cold. Although Jiang Shuxin's clothes are large, they are made of excellent materials. They are much better than the burlap clothes she used to wear. Although Aunt Yu is very good to the Four Treasures, her ability is limited after all. She can only guarantee that the Four Treasures will not be frozen, and even better, she will not be able to do it.

"Wait a minute, can you buy some clothes for you?"

"Buy it for me?" The Four Treasures were a little excited and asked, pointing to himself.

Jiang Shuxin nodded, she didn't have any shortage of clothes to wear herself, so she naturally bought them for her.

Si Bao, who got a positive answer, was very happy, sitting behind Jiang Shuxin with a simple and honest smile.

When they arrived at Li Chu's house, Jiang Shuxin unloaded the goods and took Sibao to the cloth village. No one in their family had time to sew clothes, so they took Sibao to pick out some finished products; Bao likes fabrics and let the shop help to cut them.

After some selection, it also cost a few taels of silver. Jiang Shuxin not only bought it for the Four Treasures, but also Jiang Shuyun and Jiang Shang at home, including her own.

When it was time to pay, Sibao held a large bag of wrapped clothes and watched Jiang Shuxin hand over the money, as if thinking about something.

After getting on the carriage, the Four Treasures said, "Silver, the Four Treasures also have them, and the Four Treasures are for you."

Jiang Shuxin remembered the dozens of taels of silver that Jiang Shuyun gave to the Four Treasures a long time ago, and she couldn't help laughing: "What do I want your money to do, I have it myself, and you have to keep your own money, you know?"

"Know it."

Sibao was not happy to listen to her talk, and hurriedly shook her head to perfunctory her. Jiang Shuxin didn't care about her anymore, and brought people back to Li Chu's house.

Li Chu was still busy in front of her, so Jiang Shuxin took the Four Treasures into the backyard. The backyard was filled with the bamboos she sent yesterday, all of which were neatly placed against the wall.

The little girls Sibao and Li Nian were playing in the house, and Jiang Shuxin felt relieved and began to prepare for work.

Different from the tenon and mortise joint of solid wood, bamboo needs to rely on the bamboo itself to bend, so the first thing Jiang Shuxin has to do is to make a fire. Fortunately, Li Chu's family is not short of firewood and stoves, and it is the weather that makes everything wet.

It took me a long time to get the fire started.

Li Chu in front closed the stall after finishing his work, and went into the house to help Jiang Shuxin with the work. Don't forget to share what happened yesterday.

"Then grandma came over yesterday afternoon and complimented me on my skills, and she will come to me next time."

"It's good." Jiang Shuxin was busy cutting bamboo into bamboo pieces without raising his head: "If we have good feedback, it means that we are one step closer to success. You can also try others. Anyway, this is not a bad thing. ."

It was rare to hear Jiang Shuxin say so much. Li Chu was very motivated. He picked up tools and divided bamboo like Jiang Shuxin did. But the seemingly simple procedure didn't follow her hand. The blade cut straight down the middle of the bamboo tube, splitting the bamboo tube in two, and the burrs on the edge pierced into Li Chu's fingers playfully in the next instant. .

The pain made her gasp: "Oh my god, it hurts to death."

Jiang Shuxin frowned and glanced at her, with a casual tone: "Be careful, just pinch it out with your fingernails."

One of the things that is not too difficult to deal with bamboo is to pay attention to patience and carefulness. When Jiang Shuxin first learned this from her father, it was not easy with both hands. Today's craftsmanship is entirely dependent on her father's cruel persecution back then.

The bamboos were almost treated, and the sky gradually darkened. Jiang Shuxin and Sibao did not go back at noon, so naturally they had to go back at night.

Before leaving, Jiang Shuxin looked at the sugar cake stand across the street from Li Chu's house. The weather was bad, but the Uncle Wu still held the stand there.

Jiang Shuxin asked Sibao to wait in the carriage and passed by alone.

"Uncle Wu, why are you still here today?"

Wu Hui saw the young girl Jiang Shuxin again, and his tone was a little inadvertently kind: "It's you again, little girl, where will I get the money if I don't set up a stall, why haven't you gone back so late today?"

He also knew that Jiang Shuxin didn't live in the town. In the past, he would leave before noon, but it was unusual today.

After hearing his question, Jiang Shuxin said that Li Chu wanted to open a restaurant and was busy cleaning up the shop recently.

"You two little girls are young, but you have more ideas than us guys who are big and three." After hearing this, Wu Hui showed a look of admiration on his face, and then he was very enthusiastic: "My son is a carpenter, what can I do? If you need help, just ask."

How could Jiang Shuxin be polite to him? She should come down immediately. After all, it is not enough to rely on her and Li Chu alone. They are so exhausted that they don't know what year and month they will go.

"Uncle Wu, then I'm welcome. Of course, I'm not letting your son do it for nothing. We can hire him, and then if you don't dislike it, you can have dinner at home and try our craftsmanship by the way."

"That won't work." Wu Hui immediately became unhappy after hearing this, and his face was a little red with displeasure, "If you say help is to help, I am a person who speaks; but I can eat it, and it will be unpleasant for me to eat this day. The last hot meal."

"When your restaurant opens, I'll be the first to join."

Looking at Wu Hui's dark face, Jiang Shuxin couldn't help but sigh, she didn't see the wrong person, "Well, if your son comes to my house to help, if you don't want money, then we'll cover your father and son's lunch and dinner, what do you think. "

This time Wu Hui did not refuse, he praised Jiang Shuxin directly, wrapped all the remaining sugar cakes in the booth and handed it to Jiang Shuxin, and said boldly: "Miss Jiang, you are a good person, and today all these sugar cakes are given to you. ."

How could Jiang Shuxin take it for nothing? She took out a tael of silver from her purse and put it on the booth. Without waiting for Wu Hui to refuse, she said, "Even if I bought the sugar cake, I still have one more thing to ask for."

"You take the money back first." Wu Hui looked at the one or two silver coins and felt a little tricky. "If you have something to say, just say it, and the uncle can help you."

Jiang Shuxin didn't bother, and directly told the four treasures that they wanted to learn how to make sugar cakes.

"The little girl is a little dull and rarely wants to learn."

Wu Hui smiled and said, "I thought it was a big deal. My daughter-in-law is worried that no one will learn her craft."

This is the answer.
