Dong Nuan, who was driving the donkey cart, was thinking about it. When he left, old man Dong still had words in his eyes.
Dong Nuan doesn't mind, and uses the greatest malice to speculate on the thoughts of those with bad intentions.
So, after thinking about it a few times, Dong Nuan took the initiative to speak: "Auntie, you and Dad's family have to decide about Dongtao and Dongzao's marriage. If Hanjianglou is admitted to the county school, what will happen to Dongtao and Dongzao?"
There will be more choices. You can read, read, and do embroidery. It is easy to marry a scholar who is not that promising, but it is not possible. Hanjianglou also has other friends who are making a living in the town or county.
It’s better than the ones in the village.”
Dong Wu was reminiscing about her achievements today. When she heard Dong Nuan say this, she didn't quite understand: "What does Nuan Ya mean?"
Even if Dong Wu has no experience, she knows from her sister-in-law that she cannot order Dongtao and Dongzao early. No matter whether it is Hanjiang Tower or Dongyao, there will be more choices for Dongtao and Dongzao in the future.
a lot of.
However, Dong Nuan suddenly mentioned it, and Dong Wu turned her brain, which was not very flexible. After a long time, she hesitated and asked: "What Nuan Ya means is that your grandpa and the others are still thinking about this."
Already?"
Hearing what Dong Wu said, Dong Nuan chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile: "My grandpa prefers my uncle, and grandma prefers my fifth uncle. It's not just a day or two. Now it seems that our family has a lot of potential."
Now, if they don’t have sex with us, will they feel comfortable? But how can we do it?”
After talking about it later, Dong Nuan asked back.
Dong Wu took advantage of the situation and understood it as soon as she thought about it.
With the relationship between children and in-laws, they will naturally be bound together.
Dongwu also vaguely knew a few of the nephews from her eldest sister-in-law's family.
There are good and bad, but there are no promising ones.
Most of them are just like most teenagers in the village, just ordinary people.
Although Dongtao and Dongzao are just ordinary little girls now, but...
In the mother's eyes, her biological daughter is different after all.
Even though Dong Wu had a bad mind in the past, she has been learning to change over the past year.
What's more, Dongtao and Dongzao are now learning embroidery, which is obviously different from ordinary little girls in the village.
If Dong Yao becomes successful in the future and Dong Tao and Dong Zao don't marry well, won't they still have to take advantage of their biological brothers?
That is absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Dong Wu's face turned green, and she couldn't help but mutter: "Your grandpa is really as calculating as ever."
After living in this family for so many years, no matter how stupid Mr. Dong Wu is, he can still tell who Mr. Dong and the others are.
Now that she is no longer around, Mrs. Dong Wu has the courage to complain.
Dong Nuan knew as soon as she said this that the other party understood.
"Well, grandma is here to guard the border. I'll tell daddy later and let him remember this." Dong Nuan didn't want to be bound to the scheming uncle's family.
Dongwu remembered it in her heart, and Dianthus also remembered it.
When we returned to town, it was already mid-afternoon.
After returning home from the warm winter, I first tidied up the bamboos.
The bamboo is very long and needs to be processed and put back.
Dong Nuan and Diazhu got busy, while Dong Wu went to the streets to buy some dishes for the evening, which were delicious for their family.
In the evening, Dong Sanchun closed the shop and took Dong Yao back. After all, he was still young. In the past, Hanjianglou took care of him, so there was no need to worry about it. Now that he doesn't have this prospective brother-in-law to take care of him, he can only send someone else to pick him up.
.
It just so happens that the private school is on this road, so I can bring it back along the way.
Without the donkey, I had no choice but to walk, so I came back later.
Dongtao and Dongzao are also on the same street. If you walk a few more steps, you can pick them up from Xiu Niang.
The family tidied up first and had dinner. Dong Nuan also took the opportunity to give Dong Yao a lesson.
"Sister, am I okay with my studies?" Dong Yao has been working really hard recently. Sometimes he can't avoid the playful nature of children, but more often than not, he has slowly learned to exercise restraint.
It’s understandable for Dong Nuan. He’s young and it’s normal to like to play. He should be disciplined slowly.
As long as the inside is not completely broken, there is still hope.
"Well, not bad." Dong Nuan raised her hand and touched his head.
Then Dongtao and Dongzao also looked over with interest.
Dong Nuan took a look at the embroidery they had practiced in the past two days.
To be honest, Dong Nuan didn't know much about embroidery, but she asked the embroiderer and said that the two little girls worked hard, and Dong Nuan also praised them.
After telling you the good news, I naturally wanted to tell Mr. Dong what he was thinking.
Although it is a guess, one has to take precautions in advance.
After hearing this, Dong Sanchun's face turned green: "Dad, he..."
At the end of the sentence, Dong Sanchun couldn't continue, so he wiped his face and looked at Dongtao and Dongzao, who shivered. Dong Sanchun said as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, dad is still here.
It’s not your grandpa’s turn to make the decision in this matter.”
Knowing that winter and spring are in your heart, you will feel more at ease when winter is warm.
As soon as the weather turned around, Dong Nuan began to prepare oil-paper umbrellas.
The production process of oil-paper umbrellas is somewhat complicated. Just tying the ribs takes a long time. If you want the umbrella to be strong and durable, the number of ribs will be much greater.
Forty-eight is the base. If it were a little more, seventy-two would be fine.
For example, those sold in the town now have twenty-four ribs. If the wind is slightly stronger, the umbrella will be blown away.
Dong Nuan hesitated for a long time between the forty-eight bones and the seventy-two bones. In order to be worthy of the price he set at least fifteen taels, Dong Nuan finally decided to get the seventy-two bones.
It takes almost ten days just to tie the ribs of an oil-paper umbrella. It is a very complicated thing to make it strong and beautiful, and to show your skill.
At the beginning of tying the umbrella ribs, we start with wood and bamboo materials.
Shi Zhu was busy every day helping with the work, and now she no longer followed Dong Wu to learn how to make wool felt.
Her daily routine is to follow Dong Nuan and do whatever Dong Nuan asks her to do.
Dong Wu still continues to imitate wool felt there. She also understands that she is not very creative, but her imitation ability is still good.
After a few days of holding the oil-paper umbrella, it was time to go to the county seat in the warm winter.
Because the last exam of Hanjianglou County Examination is about to begin.
This time, Dong Nuan didn't plan to go find Gou Qingyun. It would be inconvenient to bring Dianthus with her, so she just stayed in an inn.
After settling the affairs at home, Dong Nuan drove the donkey cart to the county town with the snacks and some fruits that Diazhu had recently made under her guidance.
The fruit of the warm winter zone is loquat, which is an unexpected surprise.
Dongnuan was originally prepared to try it, but who knew it would actually come into being.
Although I don’t know which nobleman planted this, it’s good to be able to grow it and borrow the light myself.
Moreover, loquat tastes pretty good. Although it is slightly sour, the texture is quite acceptable.
The warmth of winter has given rise to many births. Although Dong Wu and the others were curious about where this thing came from, they didn't see anyone selling it in the town.
However, they blindly believe in the warmth of winter, so naturally they don’t ask any more questions.
In addition to leaving some at home, Dong Nuan also brought a small basket to the county town.
