Qiao Mingjin saw that Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Yu looked like they wouldn't give up. She stretched her neck to look at the backyard, and planned to walk towards the backyard with her legs up.
Although there is nothing in the backyard yet, she just doesn't plan to invite these two people to visit.
Qiao Mingjin said to the two people with a sad look: "Second sister-in-law, fourth brother and sister-in-law, you see, Wan'er and I can't cut firewood and sell it because we have to do this. We have to go to the city to buy some at home.
It's time to buy rice and oil and salt. Look, you two can lend me some money? I will pay it back to you when the boss pays me my wages."
Sun and Yu were planning to walk to the backyard, but when they heard this, they stopped in their tracks.
Mrs. Sun hurriedly said: "Oh, Jin Niang, you also know where we have any money? Isn't it all in the hands of my mother-in-law? It's just that I and I secretly want to buy something to satisfy our children's greed.
We can’t get out a penny either. Every penny we earn has to be paid back, so where do we have any money!”
Mrs. Yu was also crying profusely.
Seeing that Qiao Mingjin wanted to say more, the two of them hurriedly said a few words, saying that Wu was waiting for their reply, and then left in a hurry.
Qiao Mingjin watched the two of them rushing out of the door, smiled, and quickly went over to close the door.
Secretly he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Mrs. Sun and Mr. Yu hurriedly ran out. When they were far away, they looked back at the house where Qiao Mingjin lived, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Good guy, I almost couldn’t get out!
Let’s just say, this mother and daughter are defenseless and have no land or land. Before, two brothers helped her cut firewood and sell it, but now the family doesn’t even have a male laborer, so how can they have any spare money for food and drink?
I wonder if people will give her money for the job of collecting wooden piles. If they just think she is easy to deceive and coax her to collect them for fun, can she, Qiao Mingjin, still go to the city to ask for an explanation?
Aren’t these wooden piles going to be burned as firewood by then?
It seems that digging wooden piles is not very reliable.
I don’t know if I can get any money after all the hard work. If I can’t collect the money, it will be in vain. Qiao Mingjin has no money and no land. Even if she went to her house to guard it, she wouldn’t have any money to spend! That poor family is ruined.
Household, where can I sell anything?
The two sisters decided to go home and talk to their mother-in-law Wu. They had to be careful about this, otherwise it would be a thankless task.
Moreover, they and their men all went up to the mountain to dig wooden piles. Not to mention the hard work, the money did not fall into their pockets and was taken away by their mother-in-law Wu. Why did they have to work hard to do this?
The two sisters decided to go home and tell the worst about the matter. They were not stupid. They had to work hard even if they couldn't get the money. Wu and Yue Xiaoman were enjoying the ready-made food at home, which was not that good.
thing?
How can those wooden piles be dug so easily?
With that free time, they might as well sleep in the room or wander around the village.
Qiao Mingjin didn't know what to say when Sun and Yu returned to Yue's house. After the two left, she closed the door tightly and concentrated on instructing those people to start their work.
Creativity is very important in this matter, so you have to keep it tight.
There is no shortage of craftsmen with good craftsmanship in this era. Moreover, many skilled craftsmen are passed down from father to son from generation to generation. The level of craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation cannot be seen by outsiders.
Even if there are craftsmen who rely on craftsmanship for a living and take on apprentices, they are still retaining some skills. Those who rely on craftsmanship for a living do not want to teach the master and starve the apprentices to death. Some things are passed down from male to female, and are passed down from generation to generation.
Not spread to outsiders.
If someone saw what she was doing, they might be able to do a better job than her without even looking at it, just hearing about it.
By then, if her things can't be sold, won't they be used as firewood?
Of course, to make something, it depends on the work of each master. Different craftsmanship will naturally lead to different prices. But if you can still keep it a secret, just keep it a secret.
It’s better to try not to make wedding clothes for others.
Qiao Mingjin saw that Yue Dalei looked like he didn't know how to get started. He looked around with the bamboo wood in his hand, looking like he couldn't make up his mind.
It can be said that this Yue Dalei has a good understanding, he is willing to work hard, the work he does is solid and durable, and the polishing and other work is also quite detailed. However, he has always done some rough work, and he has never done anything that requires precision.
Carefully crafted details.
He had never used that little carving knife before, and he didn't know how to get it right. Now he really didn't know where to start, fearing that if he wasn't careful, he would ruin the whole thing.
Qiao Mingjin remembered that in her previous life, some people used various methods to practice carving and wrist strength. They might carve on stones, or use radishes and vegetables to practice their skills. She wondered if she should also get some vegetables.
Let him try?
But as soon as she said what she said, those people stopped her with frightened expressions.
"These wood roots and pieces are everywhere, and they cost nothing, but the melons and vegetables must be eaten. Where can I use melons, vegetables and radishes to practice my skills? People can't even eat them! There are many roots, so I will use those roots.
It’s time to practice.”
Yue Dalei said to Qiao Mingjin.
After saying that, he started to move.
He was really afraid that Qiao Mingjin would get him a basket of radishes or vegetables, and he wouldn't even dare to do it. If the basket of radishes was broken, his wife would talk about it to death? Others would point at him and say
He is a prodigal.
Only then did Qiao Mingjin realize that there was an essential difference between this era and hers.
In that era, wood could not be cut down at will. If you step on a piece of grass or break a branch in the park, you will be criticized. So you can only use white radish and red radish to practice knife skills.
But in this era, as long as the tree is ownerless, you can cut it down, and no one will tell you. And if the grass is not stepped on, it will spread everywhere. There is also a lot of wood, but the radish that is eaten is not
It can be used and wasted at will.
Qiao Mingjin also felt that her idea was a bit unrealistic, so she stopped talking about it once.
Seeing Yue Dalei concentrating on composing the picture and preparing to carve the first bamboo sculpture in his life, he fiddled with it a little and walked away. There were some things that they had to understand on their own.
Let him practice his skills first, and if he really can't do it, then arrange for him to do other things. Nowadays, the carving is not urgent, and only slow work can produce fine work. There are some other things that need people to do...
A few more days passed like this.
Yun Jin hasn't come back yet, but a lot of people have come from Yunjia Village.
Father Qiao, Mother Qiao, two uncles from the Yun family, and several cousins also came over. Father Qiao and Mother Qiao finally felt relieved after seeing what Qiao Mingjin was going to do.
Although the products made by several people have not yet been finished, rough models have been produced. Qiao Mingjin has also drawn many drawings these days. They were all drawn based on the various wood root carvings and bamboo root carving crafts she had seen in her previous life.
It is very vivid. Not only can it be placed as an ornament at home, it can also be used, and it also has high collection value.
Father Qiao did not expect that his daughter, who had been living outside the village with her granddaughter, would not fall down after such a long time. Instead, she could use the painting skills she learned as a child to draw so many things. She was also prepared to use the worthless ones that others had discarded.
Make such beautiful things and sell them.
Father Qiao suddenly felt that he was a little shorter in front of his daughter.
Maybe he should find something to do. The past is past, and the family can no longer rely on his wife and children to make a living.
Mother Qiao came this time and felt relieved to see that her daughter was doing well. She rushed to the front and back of her daughter's house, plowing the soil, fertilizing and hoeing, wishing she could plow all four acres of land.
Once, so that things can grow the next day.
I also tidied up the vegetable plot in the yard and wanted to carry a wooden bucket to fetch water.
She knew that her daughter was someone she couldn't shoulder. But nowadays, Qiao Mingjin didn't even need to take care of the water at home. It was all done by He Xiaochun, He Xia, and He San.
Moreover, the three people who could use the water at home went to the well to use water, so the two large water tanks at home did not run out of water all day long.
Mother Qiao went to the mountain in person and took a look at the chickens raised by Qiao Mingjin. She saw that the chickens were just as her daughter said. She didn't need to worry about them. She didn't even need to prepare food. The chickens could find food on the mountain by themselves.
, I was still full, and I heard that my daughter sometimes didn’t even need to prepare water, so the chicken could find water on her own.
Mother Qiao was relieved.
When the two uncles saw what Qiao Mingjin was going to do, they couldn't help but praise it.
Uncle Yun then said: "Jin Niang, uncle knows that you are a child with ideas. Seeing that you can arrange your life well now, uncle and your parents will feel relieved. Yun Jin asked him to help here.
You, if you have anything to do, just tell him to do it. If he doesn't do it well and you can't criticize him, just send a message to your uncle and your uncle will deal with him!"
Qiao Mingjin smiled and nodded, asking them to rest assured.
He also told a few people that he wanted to dig a well in the courtyard.
Nowadays, when Father He and others want to carve something, sometimes they need to spray water while carving. With more people in the family, the water consumption has become larger. She doesn't want them to have to fetch water when the carving is critical.
Sometimes in the creative process, once something is interrupted, the inspiration will disappear.
Father Qiao and the two uncles from the Yun family walked around the courtyard and felt that in this situation it was really necessary to build a well. They were not busy yet, but if they got busy, who would have time to fetch water?
Father Qiao and others helped in the courtyard to see where it would be better to dig a well. Father He and others also gave some advice.
The two uncles also said that they would help find someone they knew well to dig a well, so Qiao Mingjin said that there were people in Shanghe Village doing this job, so there was no need to hire people from all the way from Yunjia Village...
Because they were far apart, Father Qiao and the others had to go back before the end of the day after lunch.
When Qiao Mingjin sent them off, Mingqi and Wan'er also took their uncle's children, Yun Shu, Yun Yan and others with them reluctantly.
Before leaving, Mother Qiao glanced at Qiao Mingjin, then pulled Qiao Mingjin aside to talk. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
