suspected wife

Wu has always wanted to come to the door to ask.

Did Qiao take the money her son got?

But the old man in her family said that Mrs. Qiao was a man of integrity and would not take money from the third child.Telling her not to come to the house to make troubles caused criticism from the villagers.After all, the two did not reconcile, and Wan'er was still their granddaughter.

But she didn't believe that woman was so spineless.Who thinks money is hot?

It's just that although she is not reconciled, there is nothing she can do. Her old man is staring at her.

But now I heard that Mrs. Qiao wants to ask the villagers to help dig the wooden piles, and also pay by the piece.There is still a lot of money given.

Wu's heart moved.

She was embarrassed to come to the door, so she called her daughter.

Now there is only this daughter in the family, and Mrs. Qiao is still willing to say a word or two to her.

It's just that when Yue Xiaoman heard that her mother asked her to ask her third sister-in-law if she took the wooden stakes and how much they charged.

She shook her head.She didn't have the nerve to come to the door.

Ever since Sister-in-law San and Wan'er moved away, her mother never visited their mother and daughter.Her father asked her to take some vegetables, but her mother snatched them back.Usually, Donggen, Beishu and Linglong got something delicious, and she wanted to take some to Wan'er, but her mother wouldn't let it.

Let her third sister-in-law sell the eggs on behalf of her, whatever the price in the city, her third sister-in-law will give her the price, not even hard money.

Not only will her mother not feel embarrassed, but she also takes it for granted.And let her bring some vegetables, chickens, willow baskets, etc. to her third sister-in-law to sell in the city.

How can she do this!

Her third sister-in-law didn't go for a stroll in the city.Her mother doesn't want to give hard money, but also wants people to work for free.

She has no face to take it.

If her mother wants to scold, let her scold.Let's not say that the third sister-in-law's family is in need.The few people in the family who are idle at home should go to help, and let her come to the door to find out how much money is charged for the wooden stake?Want to do her third sister-in-law's business?

How can she have that face.don't go.

Seeing Yue Xiaoman turn around and go back to the room, Mrs. Wu cursed a few words in the yard angrily.But there is nothing to do with this daughter.

The daughters-in-law married by her three sons are all from poor families, not to mention that they can't help, and the two daughters-in-law often secretly take some things back to supplement.And her eldest daughter is only enough to make ends meet, and because she married far away, she can't often go back to her mother's house to take care of her.Now she is pointing at this little daughter.

The youngest daughter is also better-looking than the eldest daughter, and she has been pampered by her since she was a child, and her lips are red and her teeth are covered at home.The face is as delicate as a flower.She is still counting on marrying this daughter to a wealthy family, preferably from Qingchuan County.

If the daughter has a big temper, let's be big. Which rich family's wife and lady have a bad temper?She was happy to see her daughter lose her temper.

Seeing that she couldn't call her own daughter, Mrs. Wu called her two lazy daughters-in-law in the yard.

What time is this?The sun rose high.Although there is no work in the field, and the busy spring is over, you can't stay in the room all the time, can you?

The grass in the vegetable patch should grow again.Don't have to go and have a look?The yard has not been swept today, and after the two sons picked the chickens up the mountain, the two daughters-in-law hid in the room.

What a slob!

If he is really free, he can go up the mountain to cut firewood, maybe he can earn a few taels of silver.Just know how to be lazy!

Mrs. Wu yelled twice in the courtyard, and Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Sun slowly moved out of the room.

"Mother, what's the matter with calling us? This early in the morning, the clothes have been washed, and breakfast has been made and eaten. I got up early in the morning, and I was just trying to catch up on sleep."

The Sun family relied on giving birth to the first grandson of the Yue family, and they are very confident in the Yue family.Occasionally, I can even choke with Wu Shi twice.

Wu looked at the second daughter-in-law angrily.

Do you think that just by giving birth to the eldest grandson, I have to see your face to live?If you want to be the master of the house, you are still young!It made my old lady unhappy, and my old lady also asked my second son to marry a flat wife and come back, and see if I can kill you!

Mrs. Wu glanced at the two disheveled daughter-in-laws who had obviously just gotten up from the bed.Then he said: "You two go to Qiao's side. Ask if she is collecting wooden stakes. If so, how much is a wooden stake? Can you give the money first. Everyone in this family is now I'm idle, but many people in the village have gone to the mountains to find wooden stakes. You two are still dodging in the house!"

Wu's voice became a little raised as she spoke.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yu glanced at each other. Mrs. Qiao is collecting wooden stakes?Where did the money come from?

They really didn't know about it.

Today it was Mrs. Sun's turn to do the laundry. Mrs. Sun threw a few random throws at the well, and then came back with the tub in her arms. I really don't know what Mrs. Qiao is doing now.

Both of them asked Mrs. Wu exactly what happened.

"Mother, Jinniang is collecting wooden stakes? What kind of wooden stakes? Will she pay back the money?"

Seeing the surprised look of the two, Wu said something to them.

Wu said something to the two of them.

After the two listened, their eyes rolled up.

It was only a few days ago that I heard that Qiao Jinniang had just paid the rent for the house she was living in and got back the deed.He also spent one tael of silver to buy four acres of land in front of the house and behind the house.

At that time, the two of them didn't know about it, but they were scolded by their mother-in-law Wu for several days because Qiao bought a homestead that could not grow or grow.Both of them knew about it.

Unexpectedly, Qiao's only sold firewood for a while, but she made a lot of money.Where does the money come from now to collect the wooden stakes?Don't sell firewood anymore?Where does her money come from?

The two of them buried their heads in thought.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu shouted again: "Give me a good word, you two, should you go or not? Or should you point to my old face and ask?"

Mrs. Sun stepped forward with a smile on Wu's arm, and said, "Go, go. How can I not go. Aren't there wooden piles everywhere in the woods? That's where ready-made money is waiting. Let's go pick it up. Mother, don't worry, just wait at home to hear the letter, my siblings and I will go and ask now."

Na Yu nodded again and again, for fear of being scolded by her mother-in-law for being lazy.

Then he said: "Mother, you don't need to worry about anything, just rest at home, the two of us will go and ask now. It doesn't make sense that she accepts other people's money but not ours. It's a family anyway, and the money you give is returned. Can it be lowered?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu gave some instructions to the two of them, and she let them go into the room and change their clothes, and then went out together to Mrs. Qiao's outside the village.

Today, Qiao Mingjin, Father He and others did not go out.Just carve some simple things at home to practice your hands.

It will take a few days for the tools Father He ordered yesterday to come back, and they don't have the tools to do too complicated carvings.

Moreover, none of them had ever done root carving, so Qiao Mingjin had to tell them about the process.

This wooden root carving is not as simple as picking up a piece of wooden root and then picking up a knife to carve it.

First of all, of course, is the selection of materials.

To choose the right wood, but also have a special shape.The finished products carved out in this way have collection and use value.

In addition to choosing wood, we also need to look at the texture to see if its shape has any creative value.

Those that are too dry or too soft, or whose roots are easily rotted, have no creative value and are not suitable.

So the choice of wood is not a simple matter.

What kind of wood can be used for creation, for example, if the wood is too soft, it cannot be used as a tea table or tea table.The tea table and tea table are made of hardwood.For example, mahogany, nanmu, camphor wood, chicken wing wood and so on.

After picking the wood, it depends on whether the wood itself has any defects.Are there any cracks? If there are cracks, after carving out, it may be deformed after a long time.

It also depends on whether the wood is healthy, whether there are insects, and whether there are mildew spots.Are there any bugs, etc.?

If it is easy to attract insects, it has no collection value.

This is the preliminary filter on material selection.

After selecting the material, rough processing is required.For example, picking decay, removing rotten roots, doing drying treatment, removing insects and bacteria to remove excess roots, etc.

There are so many things to do here.

So it's not something that can be done simply by taking a piece of wood carving.

It doesn't matter that Father He and others are not familiar with the process of the craft.No stakes have been dug out yet.

She is now using the ready-made wood roots on hand to give them an introduction to the process and specific operation methods.

Qiao Mingjin first divided the twenty or so bamboo roots dug out yesterday into several pieces for each of them.Let them create these bamboo roots according to the process she just said.

Give full play to their imagination, and when they make these bamboo roots, the wooden root carving can almost be done.

After listening to Qiao Mingjin's explanation, the five fathers of He each took the bamboo roots they were assigned to operate.

The first step, of course, is to see if the bamboo roots in your hands are healthy.Is it suitable for creation.

Then it's simple processing.

Remove rot, remove excess roots, check for cracks, insects, and hidden fungus...

Then after a simple treatment, it is cleaned and dried.

The drying method can be natural drying.It can also be artificially dried.Of course, there will be machine drying in later generations.There are no such conditions here.

Natural drying is to put the wood to be created in a ventilated place, so that the air can circulate, take away the moisture, and gradually dry the wood.However, this method will take longer.

There is also artificial drying.It can be directly dried by fire, or boiled with water to remove the resin content of the wood, and then placed in the air to let it dry naturally or dry.

These bamboo roots are all practiced, and there is no way to wait for them to dry naturally, so Qiao Mingjin directed them to dry them with fire.

Several people set up a fire in the courtyard, preparing to roast bamboo roots.

Fortunately, these twenty or so bamboo roots are healthy and can be created. Only one that He Xia got was accidentally cracked while digging.

Originally, Qiao Mingjin said he was going to throw it away, but He Xia said that he wanted to keep it for practice, so he kept it too.Maybe the cracks can also be used by him, which is not necessarily true.

A few people were roasting when Sun and Yu came to the door. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
