Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 204 Have something on your mind?
Seeing that Liu Ya was silent, Xiao Shu'er said proudly again: "Second sister, brother Wu Niu came to eat at home that day, didn't you bring back a shirt from Father Gao and his nephew to wash? During the meal that day, You returned Brother Wu Niu's kindness, isn't it all because of him?"

Xiao Shu'er's analysis left Liu Ya at a loss as to how to defend herself.But Liu Ya has never been subdued, and she has never been afraid of anyone.What's more, she and Xiao Shu'er are the closest, so she immediately burst out and said, "You think your second sister is a person who only cares about face? The second sister has a big heart, not just anyone can do it." I like it. I didn’t like your brother Wu Niu.”

Xiao Shu'er pursed her lips, and said again: "Actually, there have been rumors in our village that Father Gao's nephew is actually from the city, a child of a rich family, otherwise he wouldn't grow up to be skinny and tender." He is so good-looking. But he is not the eldest son of the main house, but the concubine of the partial house. As a result, when his mother died, he was not allowed to see the head of the house, so he was kicked out. I think, is it because the second sister has a long-term mind? , thinking about helping him get back his family business, when he is rich and beautiful, you two will be a good match."

"Pfft..." Liu Ya almost vomited blood from Xiao Shu'er's words.I have to say, why is Xiao Shu'er's brain so good?Um, no, it should be said why there are so many bloody plots in Xiao Shu'er's head.After a casual analysis, he directed a drama for himself in which the legitimate son and the concubine fought for family property.

Liu Ya raised her hand again.Seeing that Xiao Shu'er quickly covered her forehead this time, she turned her wrist and grabbed Xiao Shu'er's ears instead.

Xiao Shu'er didn't dodge again, she covered her head but was pulled by Liu Ya's ear, so she could only say resentfully: "Second sister, you are so powerful, you use all those abilities on your younger brother, right? Isn't this called' Thing was revealed, embarrassment turned into anger'?"

"Yo, how many characters have you learned? You just learned to recite the Three Character Classic, and you dragged it with me?" Liu Ya was laughed angrily by Xiao Shuer this time, and then said: "Okay, second sister will tell you. I did go to the mountain to see Father Gao and his nephew. It was because he was sick and asked me to buy medicine for him. After all, no one in our village often goes to the city."

Seeing Liu Ya's seriousness, Xiao Shu'er nodded and said, "So that's the case. But Second Sister, are you going to the city tomorrow?"

"Of course, the business is still unfinished." Liu Ya said, "Let's go, if you don't go home, Dad and Eldest Sister will be worried. And your Xiao Hei is waiting for you to go back to feed him."

Hearing Liu Ya mention the little goat Xiao Hei, Xiao Shu'er suddenly became energetic.He also stopped asking Liu Ya about going to see Cang Qianche, and only urged Liu Ya to go quickly, almost jogging all the way down the mountain.

Back home, Liu Dacheng's room was open to the windows of the yard. Liu Dacheng was weaving baskets while looking outside.As soon as Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er came back, she greeted them with a smile: "Your eldest sister has gone grocery shopping, you should wash your hands and faces first, dinner will take a while."

Xiao Shu'er said: "It's just right, I'll take Xiao Hei to Aunt Niu's house to find the big sheep to suckle." After finishing speaking, Xiao Shu'er led the little lamb and went out.

Liu Ya entered the door and asked, "Father, are you thirsty? Let me pour you a glass of water first?"

"No need, your eldest sister prepared it for me when she went out. Ya'er, come in and see if you like these baskets. I'll think of a few more patterns later and make them up for you. Then you Pick and choose, whichever one you like, I will make up more."

When Liu Ya entered Liu Dacheng's room, she saw that many baskets had been placed on his kang.They are all the same size as Liu Ya said before, but the styles are different.There are oblate ones, tall tube ones, six-sided pumpkin-style ones, and several small animal-style ones.Although the style looks very simple, but the handwork is very good, each one is very small and exquisite.

Liu Ya couldn't help but praised: "Father, your workmanship is really ingenious." As she spoke, she picked up this one to look at, and then picked up that one to look at, and said: "They all look good, but they are too delicate."

"Stupid girl, isn't it good to be delicate? A craftsman is one who pays attention to fineness, not even a little flaw." Liu Dacheng had a smile on his face, knowing that Liu Ya was boasting himself in disguise.

Liu Ya sat on the edge of the kang and said, "I'm just afraid that Dad will be tired. Besides, this kind of small basket is just to show customers a rarity, and it may not be sold at a high price, so as long as the shape is good-looking and there are no burrs Just pricking your hands is enough. You don’t need to be too particular about the rest, the main thing is to have more.”

After thinking for a while, Liu Ya said again: "Why don't you do this? I'll take these baskets to see if they sell well. If it's good, I'll find someone to be an apprentice to my father. In this way, someone will help my father, so I don't have to worry about it." There's nothing for sale."

Liu Dacheng said: "Father is not a craftsman like a carpenter or bricklayer who does rough work of weaving baskets and baskets. Who would be willing to be an apprentice? It's about the same as finding a helper. Give others wages, or I can do it myself.”

Liu Ya smiled and said: "Father is wrong. If it is not craftsmanship, what is craftsmanship? You have to be able to build a house and make furniture to be considered a skill? I think my dad's baskets are the most beautiful. In the future, you can make baskets with your own hands. Weaving baskets will cost a fortune.”

While talking, Liu Xu'er's voice came from the door: "Yo, Ya'er is back? Are you talking to Dad?"

As soon as Liu Ya looked up, she saw Liu Xu'er standing outside the window with a vegetable basket, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little dim, and the smile didn't reach her eyes, obviously her smile was unnatural.

Liu Ya has always been sensitive and good at reading people's hearts, so she immediately saw that Liu Xu'er probably had something on her mind.She then turned to Liu Dacheng and said, "Father, take a break, these baskets are enough, don't rush to make them. I'm going to help eldest sister cook."

"Okay, let's go. But you've been tired all day, you just need to pick vegetables, let your elder sister cook the meals." Liu Dacheng still felt sorry for Liu Ya, so he said.

Liu Ya agreed, put down the basket in her hand and walked out.When I came to the kitchen, I saw Liu Xuer squatting on the ground picking vegetables.

Liu Ya took a small bench and passed it to Liu Xu'er, moved the vegetable basket to her feet, and squatted down to pick vegetables.

Liu Xu'er took the small bench and was about to sit down, but seeing Liu Ya was still squatting, she pushed the bench back and said with a smile, "Sit down. Didn't daddy tell you that you've been tired all day?"

"Sister, do you have something on your mind?" Liu Ya didn't like to circle around.What's more, she felt that they were all a family, and she already regarded Liu Xu'er as a sister, so she asked directly.

Liu Xu'er was startled, she pursed her lips and lowered her head to pick vegetables, but she didn't answer.
