Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 20

After finishing all this, Zhao Caifeng saw Mrs. Xu come out from the big door next door, went straight to Zhao's house through the small door, still holding a whole piece of floral cloth in her hand, she just called Zhao Caifeng over and said: "Girl, this Take a piece of floral cloth, it will be hot soon, just enough for you and sister Die to make a skirt."

The calico cloth is pea green with some small white flowers mixed on it. Although it is not slippery to the touch, it is much less rough than ordinary cotton cloth.Zhao Caifeng looked at this piece of cloth, and then at the coarse cloth clothes she was wearing, thinking that this piece of cloth must be of great value to a family like them.

"Ms. Xu, look at how polite you are. I can't accept this cloth. You should keep it to make clothes for Brother Bao in the future."

"Brother Bao is a boy, so there is no need for these. Besides, Brother Bao's clothes are all worn by Brother Wu of your family. They are enough for him to wear. You can use them to make skirts." Xu said, Just put the fabric into Zhao Caifeng's arms, Zhao Caifeng didn't want to accept it, so she pushed and shoved with Xu two or three times, at this time, Yang just came out of the house, saw the fabric, and felt that since Xu had already regarded Zhao Caifeng as a The daughter-in-law sees that it is not a big deal for the mother-in-law to give the daughter-in-law a piece of fabric to make new clothes, so she smiled and said: "Caifeng, if you ask your aunt to give it to you, you can accept it. You have grown so fast in the past two years." I'm afraid you won't be able to wear last year's clothes. I'm going to add two new clothes for you. Besides, you're going to help your grandfather's stall, so you can't dress too badly. People in the town wear poor clothes. It's all decent."

"What? Is Caifeng going to help her grandfather's noodle stall in Heqiao Town?" Mrs. Xu couldn't help asking after hearing what Mrs. Yang said. Now she regards Zhao Caifeng as a member of their family. It is natural to ask clearly.

Yang only smiled and said: "Exactly, you also know that when Caifeng's father didn't go, Caifeng never went down to do farm work, and she really didn't know anything about the things in the field, so she just thought about it." Can you learn some other crafts, first go to the town and work at my father's stall for a while, and then think about whether there is any other livelihood."

Mrs. Xu just nodded. She didn't have the concept that a girl from a rich family can't go out and show her face, so she also agreed with Yang's decision.Among other things, I heard that the grandfather of the Yang family was a kitchen cooker in a wealthy family when he was young. He must have good cooking skills. Now at home, besides eating millet porridge and soup every day, he only eats corn bread. He only knows how to do these two things , I really don't have any cooking skills.

"That's fine, it's fine to live in the town for a while." People in the town didn't know that Zhao Caifeng was on guard, and Zhao Caifeng went out for a while, and when she came back, the matter might fade away.

When Mrs. Yang came back from Zhao's house with the cloth, she saw Song Mingxuan reading a book in the room, but his brows were still frowning.

"I said your cousin is dead, and it's useless for you to keep that piece of fabric. You might as well give it to Caifeng to make her a new dress. I did this for your future consideration. Why don't you understand? !"

Song Mingxuan stiffened his neck and did not speak. Seeing his appearance, Xu just sighed, sat on the kang behind him, stretched out his hand to touch Bao Ge'er who was sleeping soundly, and said slowly: "I've been here last night. I have already told Caifeng's mother about you and Caifeng, and she agrees. It's not that I said, if there is no brother Bao, even if our family is poorer, you are still a scholar after all, so you won't be able to find a wife. But Brother Bao was left behind by your cousin, so I can’t send him to someone else’s house? If our family wants to raise this child by itself, we must find a girl who is willing to accept this child. I’ve already thought about it, While Brother Bao was still young, he called you parents from now on, so that when he grows up, he won’t be looked down upon, and as for Ruyue, we don’t need to tell this child.”

After listening to Yang's words, Song Mingxuan felt more and more powerless to refute, and couldn't read the book. He turned his head and saw Brother Bao's sleeping face, and was in a state of confusion for a moment.

How did Zhao Caifeng know that her life-long events had been calculated by Yang and Xu inexplicably long ago.However, as a time-traveling girl, Zhao Caifeng naturally didn't understand how enthusiastic women in ancient times were about being a matchmaker and marrying a daughter. Her main thing in the afternoon was to modify a less labor-intensive mortar.

Because Zhao Wen's hands were worn out, someone else in the family had to take on the task of grinding flour. If there was no stone mill in the house, he had to use a mortar to grind it himself. Yang worked hard every day, and if he had to grind flour at night , is really too tired.So the only remaining available labor is Zhao Caifeng herself.But seeing that although she is not skinny and tender, at least she does not have callused palms, Zhao Caifeng decided to use wisdom to overcome everything.

Archimedes said, give me a fulcrum, and I can lift the earth.Now as long as the stake can be tilted up so that the stake tied with stones embedded in the front can be smashed into the mortar, it shouldn't be a difficult task.Zhao Caifeng still remembers that when she was studying the principle of levers in high school, she also did an exercise of "pounding rice pairs". Although there are not all the structural diagrams on it, there are still rough shapes, but she can't complete this task by herself. I have to draw a blueprint and ask the carpenter in the village to help me do it.
