Yao Xiaoqing came out of the warehouse and found that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, goose-like snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the cabbage in the vegetable field was covered with a layer of white frost.
She went to the wheat field with her pocket in her pocket, and saw that the wheat seedlings in the field were also covered with a layer of white frost. She didn't know how the winter wheat in the north was grown. Looking at the white frost on the wheat seedlings, she thought about the heavy snowfall that would follow.
Wow, I feel like these wheat seeds are wasted.
After looking around the wheat field, Yao Xiaoqing went to look around the taro field again, and saw that there was a layer of straw curtains spread on the taro ground. Then he walked back with confidence. As soon as he reached the gate, he saw Ah Chongbo and the two
An old man came in from outside carrying a barrel.
"Xiao Qing, I caught a dozen big fish today. Would you like to make pickled fish for lunch today?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at their fingers that were red from the cold and said, "If you like eating pickled fish, just tell Eminem. You guys go back and change your clothes. It's no joke if you catch a cold."
"Okay!" The three of them carried the wooden buckets and walked towards the canteen facing the snowflakes.
Yao Xiaoqing went to the stoneware room and saw that Shan Shan and Jiang Li, together with two warriors, had made the spinning wheel and were making a wooden frame.
Seeing that several people were attentive, I didn't go in to disturb them. I turned back to the yard and saw the thousand words on the table. I thought about going to the warehouse and taking out a stack of thick paper and cutting it into A-4 size.
She plans to make flashcards to make it easier for everyone to read.
Picking up the charcoal pen, I first wrote a big Chinese character Yao, and then copied the other characters.
It was only during the late night meal that Yao Xiaoqing copied the words on the Thousand-Character Manuscript neatly.
Jiang Li Heshan and two warriors worked hard for a day and made a spinning wheel. It was not a pedal-operated spinning wheel, but a hand-operated spinning wheel like the one Yao Xiaoqing had seen.
"Qingwu, a pedal-operated spinning wheel requires a lot of parts, so we made a hand-operated one first. The first time we made it, it was a bit rough."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "It's already very good. I definitely can't do it if you ask me to do it."
Jiang Li looked at her smile, his ears felt hot, and he quickly turned his head.
Everyone gathered around the spinning wheel and poked around curiously.
Shan Amu pulled Jiang Li and said, "Chief Jiang Li, how do you use this thing?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "I'll teach you later."
Heiba and the others looked at Jiang Li and puffed up their chests proudly. Their leader is capable!
Yao Hu and Mu Feng came back and also praised Jiang Li and Shan.
"Shan, learn from Leader Jiang Li, and the loom Xiaoqing wants will be handed over to you."
Shan felt that doing these handicrafts was very interesting, and he puffed up his chest and said, "Yes, leader."
After eating the food, Shan'am couldn't wait to go back and bring over kudzu and wool.
Bao Amu hurriedly moved a stool for Jiang Li.
Jiang Li sat down and picked up the kudzu and said slowly: "When spinning, hold two strands of yarn in your left hand, dip the ends in water and stick them on the spindle rod. Shake the handle with your right hand. The driving wheel drives the spindle rod to rotate rapidly.
With the height of the left hand equal to that of the spindle bar, spin the two strands of linen together. While placing the linen, move it backwards. When the spun thread reaches its longest length, raise your hand and store the thread on the spindle bar. Then,
Lower the yarn-holding hand back to a level with the spindle bar to spin a section of thread... Only by repeating this operation can you complete a thread."
Several old ladies repeatedly praised him, "It turns out that Leader Jiang Li has such a skillful hand!"
The women also looked at Jiang Li with starry eyes. He was good-looking, capable, and had such skillful hands. Such a man was really good.
Jiang Li raised his head and saw Shan Amu's eagerness to try. He stood up and said with a smile, "Amu, let's try!"
"Okay," Shan'am sat down and said with a smile, "If I'm wrong, please ask Leader Jiang Li to teach me."
Jiang Li glanced at Yao Xiaoqing, smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll teach you, and then you can teach everyone else."
Shan'am sat down and was a little confused at first. After Jiang Li's guidance, he started spinning in a decent manner.
Yao Xiaoqing said to Shan Amu: "Amu, it's up to you to teach everyone how to spin. First spin the wool, and I will teach everyone how to weave clothes tomorrow."
Shan Amu smiled heartily and said: "Okay."
Yao Xiaoqing and Jiang Li looked at each other for a while, then put on their bamboo hats and left the cafeteria.
Jiang Li glanced at Yao Xiaoqing with a smile, "I originally said I would teach everyone how to read tonight."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes! I also made flashcards. I'll give them to you when I go back."
"Reading cards!" Jiang Li understood after thinking for a moment, "Qing Wu's method is good. It will be much more convenient to teach with cards."
Yao Xiaoqing, "There is no blackboard here, so we can only use this method."
The two of them walked slowly and leisurely towards Yao Xiaoqing's house.

The rain and snow fell intermittently for two days before it stopped. Ah She and Ah Diao, with their two men, reached the Yaoshan tribe that night. Under the northern wall, they looked at the high wall and sighed in their hearts.
Several people followed the wall to the south wall and found that the wall here was shorter. They could see the light coming from inside, but they couldn't step into it.
After some gestures, two of the four people squatted down. Ah She and Ah Diao stepped on their shoulders respectively, reaching up to the wall with their hands.
"Ah~" the two of them screamed in unison. Muba and Bao climbed up the wooden ladder in a few steps and saw the four people who had fallen into a ball.
The two men raised the spears in their hands and stabbed them hard, killing Ah Snake and Ah Diao instantly.
The two people on the ground trembled in fright, and were stabbed with spears, losing their lives.
Mufeng asked from below: "Is he dead?"
Leopard nodded, "If you are dead, hand me the bamboo ladder and pick up a torch. Let's go down and have a look."
Mu Feng raised the long bamboo ladder and said, "Be careful."
"Yeah!" Muba put down the bamboo ladder, Bao took the torch, and they got off the bamboo ladder one after another.
They saw that the four of them were lying dead, and the two of them opened the dirty animal robes of the four of them, and saw the bird totem of the Great Witch Tribe on their chests.
Muba raised his head and said to Mufeng and Xiongniu who were standing on the wall: "They are already dead. Let's drag them into the forest."
Mufeng nodded, "Okay, we'll come down to help."
Several people returned to the tribe and told Yao Hu about the great witch coming to spy.
Leopard said: "Chief, these people came with Chong two days ago and hid nearby before going down the mountain to investigate tonight."
Yao Hu nodded, "The great witch is as cunning as a fox. We must be more vigilant and not let them sneak into the tribe."
"Yes!" Several people responded in unison.

After the snow, the mountain road was very slippery. It was originally a three-day journey, but Chong took the people for more than four days before returning to Qiushan.
By the time they arrived at Qiu Shan, several of them were already covered in mud, and they were worse than the savages on the mountain.
When Yan Yu heard the report that Chong was back, he hurriedly greeted him and asked eagerly: "Chong, has Yao Hu agreed?"
Chong glanced at him and said, "..., I think you should stop thinking about Qing Wu. She is the chosen leader of the Yaoshan tribe."
Yan Yu was stunned, "What? They want to choose a woman to be the leader?"
