Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 58 Need a few Bamboo Baskets
Liu Dacheng took the chopsticks that Liu Ya handed him, and looked at the sumptuous food on the table, he was stunned for a while, and didn't move the chopsticks for a long time.

Liu Ya asked strangely: "Father, what's the matter? Don't you like to eat or have no appetite?"

"Neither of them." Only then did Liu Dacheng come back to his senses, looked at Liu Ya, then at the dishes on the table, tears flashed in his eyes, and then he held a piece of potato in his mouth with trembling hands, and slowly Chew slowly, with a satisfied face.

Liu Ya understood that Liu Dacheng was feeling inferior again.He must have felt that he was useless, failed to provide a good life for the three children, and wanted them to take care of him.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya said: "Father, I came back from cutting bamboo today. Don't you know how to weave baskets, bamboo baskets, help me weave some beautiful baskets."

"Okay." Liu Dacheng agreed, and then asked: "Ya'er, what kind of basket do you want? How big is it? Dad's craftsmanship is not bad, but his fingers are not flexible now, so I think he should slow down. However, I can weave a small bamboo basket in one day."

Liu Ya quickly showed a joyful look, nodded, and said with a smile: "That's fine, and I'm not in a hurry. I just want to put the fruit in a good-looking basket, so that it looks better. It's just... so big."

As Liu Ya spoke, she gestured for a size, which was about the size of two palms spread together.Then he said: "The craftsmanship doesn't need to be too delicate, but the appearance should be special. It should be very eye-catching and people will notice it right away."

"The workmanship should not be too delicate...it must be very special?" Liu Dacheng was a little puzzled, what does this mean?
Liu Ya smiled and explained: "That is to say, such a basket does not require any complicated craftsmanship, but it only needs to have a special shape and a good-looking decoration. And if the business is good, I guess father will start taking apprentices in the future. Teaching apprentices to weave baskets may take several baskets a day."

"That much!" Liu Dacheng put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Liu Ya in disbelief. Is this the silly girl Ya'er of their family?
Liu Ya quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't want it now. I'm thinking about starting a small business in the future. This exquisite bamboo basket is just a gimmick. Now I just want you to take the trouble to help me figure out a special style." .”

"That's fine. I'll leave it to Dad. Ya'er, what else do you think of? If Dad can help you, just tell Dad." When Liu Dacheng spoke, his tone was full of excitement.

Liu Ya nodded seriously and agreed.

Liu Dacheng asked again: "Ya'er, just now Xu'er and Shu'er came back first, and they didn't make it clear. Dad asked you, how is your third aunt's house?"

"It's alright, it's over if I make an apology. I've already told Shu'er that I can't just cause trouble in the future." Liu Ya replied evasively.

"Well, that's good. Dad knows what Shu'er is thinking. He can't tolerate others bullying you, and he will vent his anger on you in everything. But Ya'er, you are better now, you are not stupid anymore, and you have to take care of Shu'er." It's too late. Otherwise, the arrogant temper will be formed, but it will never be changed."

"Yes, I understand. Dad, don't worry, I will take care of our family's affairs in the future. Let the eldest sister relax and let the little tree be well." Liu Ya's every word is sincere As he spoke, there was a hint of maturity and charm in his eyes.

Liu Dacheng looked at Ya'er in front of him, and suddenly felt that his face was still Ya'er's, but he always felt that Ya'er now had a special temperament, as if he had changed from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that Liu Dacheng couldn't stop looking at herself, Liu Ya knew that she must be acting differently than an 11-year-old girl in some places.She has no intention of pretending to be tender, but she also doesn't want to be too different from her current identity and age.He simply said to Liu Dacheng: "Father, eat slowly, I'm going out to eat. Put it away after you finish eating, and I'll come and clean up the dishes later."

After speaking, he walked out of Liu Dacheng's room.

Back in the kitchen, Liu Xu'er and Xiao Shu'er hadn't eaten yet, they were waiting for Liu Ya.

Liu Ya quickly sat down and said, "Why don't you eat it? It's because you think I can't cook it well. Don't wait for me. This rabbit meat will taste better when it's hot."

"Second Sister, Eldest Sister said that I will wait for you to eat together. She said that you brought the rabbit back, and you bought the food with money, so I should wait for you to eat together." Xiao Shuer said, and put one in Liu Ya's bowl. rabbit legs.

After hearing Xiao Shu'er's words, Liu Ya looked at Liu Xu'er, and suddenly felt that having such a big sister is actually not bad.

Even if Liu Xu'er's temperament is a bit weak, even if she would rather be bullied sometimes, she still has to post it as an apology, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Xu'er is not all for this family, for her silly sister and Xiao Shu'er. brother.

Liu Ya gave Liu Xu'er the rabbit legs in the bowl, and said, "Sister, let's eat."

The whole family is eating white rice, and their hearts are warm.This kind of happiness filled this poor home with brilliance. Even if they had a resplendent palace, they might not be able to match the satisfaction in their hearts at this moment.

After dinner, Liu Xu'er and Liu Shu competed to wash the dishes.In the end, Liu Xu'er snatched the bowl and asked Liu Shu to clean up the front and back yards.He also said that there are many roads and roads drawn on the ground, which look like ghostly drawn symbols and are not good-looking, so they need to be wiped.

Only then did Liu Shu remember the words that the second sister handed over to him before going out.Liu Shu hurriedly called Liu Ya over, and dragged her to watch.

Liu Shu pointed to the words he had written on the ground, and read to Liu Ya: "Willow, tree. Hands, mouth, ears, eyes..."

Liu Ya listened to Xiao Shu'er finish reading one by one, and squatted down to look carefully at the words he wrote on the ground.Except for the two characters "Willow" which have many gesticulations and are not very neatly written, the other four characters are all well written, and what's rare is that they are horizontal and vertical, and they are all about the same size.

Liu Ya nodded, gave Xiao Shu'er a thumbs up, and praised: "As expected of my Liu Ya's younger brother, he learned really fast. It's alright, write everything correctly, wipe it off. From now on, start every day, Review all the words you learned the day before, and I will teach you a few new words. After slowly accumulating, you will be able to learn to write sentences and articles."

"Second Sister, I can still learn to write articles?!" Xiao Shu'er said in disbelief.But there is indeed hope shining in a pair of dark eyes.

Liu Ya nodded and said: "Of course I can. As long as you study hard, read more books, and accumulate, it is not difficult to write articles. Didn't the second sister say that she will send you to school in the future. Xiao Shu'er , study hard, you will be promising."

"Second Sister, you're so kind." After hearing this, Xiao Shu'er hugged Liu Ya's waist, and rubbed Liu Ya's shoulder affectionately like a kitten.
