Chapter 96 Heartbeat

That afternoon, only Father He came back.

Yun Jin lived with Ming Jue in Green Willow Villa.

In addition to visiting the market in Qingchuan County, he also has to go to several surrounding counties. He will not turn around for ten days and a half.

Father He came back with Yun Jin's words, saying that everyone in the Yun family strongly supported her, and told Yun Jin to take good care of her.

Qiao Mingjin felt very warm after hearing this.

Father He also brought back various pens, inks, paper, inkstones, paints and other items that Mingjue bought for her. Although they were not of the best quality, it was obvious that Mingjue had carefully selected them.

The two younger brothers also came back with messages, saying that they were living well in the Liu family. The Liu family were very polite to them and treated them as honored guests.

Liu Qi also became more obedient and sensible. With Mingheng beside her and learning together, she immediately refused to admit defeat. The two of them did not need anyone to urge them, and they recited and practiced calligraphy on their own initiative every day. I heard that Liu Yuanwai was so happy every day.

Mouth.

That night, Qiao Mingjin used a simple easel to design a drawing based on the pieces of wood they picked up in the forest today.

Qiao Mingjin's own painting skills only exist at the basics she learned in the Children's Palace when she was a child. She is also worried that she has a bunch of ideas in her heart but cannot draw what she has seen in her previous life.

Fortunately, this body left her with all the memories. After being unfamiliar, she quickly became able to write on white paper with ease.

After the painting was completed, He's father and others were invited to watch it. After seeing it, He's father and others were amazed.

In addition to drawing patterns for the wood segments, wood roots, and bamboo roots picked up today, Qiao Mingjin also drew the tea table from his previous life.

It is the tea table used for drinking Kung Fu tea in my previous life.

It is simple and elegant. It also has natural beauty.

In her previous life, she particularly liked the carved tea table.

In addition to the tea table carved out of the whole wood, you can also connect the stakes to make it look like a tea table. It has a unique charm when placed in a pavilion or in the living room to entertain guests.

After He's father and others saw it, they couldn't wait to start making one for themselves first.

Qiao Mingjin only drew a tea table, a tea table, and drawings based on her imagination based on the wooden roots she picked up today.

The specific drawing to be made depends on what the wooden piles will look like after being dug out. The final drawing will be made based on the natural shape of the wooden piles.

No one thought that these abandoned roots on the roadside and in the woods could be made into something like this.

If it is polished, waxed and colored, are you worried that it won't sell?

Father He and others immediately became more confident.

However, I soon became worried that my poor skills might delay my work.

While I am extremely passionate, I can't help but feel anxious at the same time. I don't know if I have this level.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Mingjin encouraged a few people.

He comforted: "It doesn't matter. If you want to carve such a tea table, how can it be built overnight? I don't know how many times you have to practice and how much material you have to waste before you can make it. Don't be afraid. Just practice with confidence. First

It takes time to pick up some simple things and dig out wooden piles. You also have to wait for them to dry and do rough processing before reaching the fine carving. There is still a lot of time for you to practice. Starting tomorrow, you will practice at home.

Let’s just pick something simple to practice first.”

Father He and others nodded after hearing this.

At night, after Qiao Mingjin fell asleep, the father, son, master and apprentice were still studying the roots of Qiao Mingjin's drawings.

Fortunately, Yue Dalei was persuaded to go back early, otherwise he might have to sleep at Qiao's house...

Early the next morning, many villagers came to the house one after another.

They are all people who are close to Qiao Mingjin on weekdays.

Sister Xiu must have told them everything.

Mrs. Lu, the daughter-in-law of Lao Yuetou's fourth brother, also brought her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Su, to see Qiao Mingjin early in the morning.

"Jin Niang, do you really want to collect the wood piles? No one else wants those things for burning firewood. They have many roots, are heavy, big and difficult to split, and yet you are using them as treasures!"

Mrs. Su looked like she was afraid that Qiao Mingjin would suffer a loss.

Mrs. Lu also advised: "Mother Jin, you have just been able to eat these days, so you don't dare to mess around with it. I heard that you want to use this thing to make furniture. What kind of furniture can this make? If you want the wood, just bring it in If you cut some in the mountains, the people in the village won't gossip. It's not that any family grows it themselves. It's all raised by nature. If you spend money to harvest it and no one wants what you make, wouldn't it be a loss? Death? Now that family has not come to see you, nor has they asked you to go back for a bite of food. The future of your mother and daughter..."

Qiao Mingjin took her hand and said: "Fourth Aunt, thank you for thinking about me. But I have carefully considered this matter and have thought about it for a long time. It's okay. Even if I can't sell it in the future, it doesn't matter. I can just sell it as firewood." You can sell it for money, but you can’t lose money.”

Mrs. Lu clapped her hand and said angrily: "Nonsense, when it's dug out and it doesn't fit, you can still use it as firewood and burn it? Wait for you to carve it out, cut off the head and tail, and then sell it as firewood, how can it still have any weight?" ?This is not about selling food. If you can’t sell it, you can take it back and eat it at home.”

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin smiled and said: "Don't worry, aunt. This is not my thing. It was collected by a noble man in the city from me in the countryside. Unfortunately, he took it all according to the order. It has nothing to do with us. If there is no money in my aunt's house, If you are busy, just follow Sister Xiu to dig in the mountains. Others may also dig in the future. You go first today to get the upper hand to avoid any fuss."

Mrs. Lu then said to her: "Is it really not your own idea?"

Qiao Mingjin rolled her eyes and said: "No, how can I have such great ability? I really collected it for others. The wages of Brother Yue and others were also given by wealthy people in the city."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Su were relieved.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Mingjin didn't suffer much. They dug the wooden piles and sold them as firewood. Where could they put the ready money?

Soon he hurriedly said a few words and went home to pick up tools and go into the mountains.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Qiao Mingjin called everyone over and gave these instructions.

She had never thought of the big tree attracting the wind before. It seems that she should be more cautious, not just to guard against others, but also to guard against the Yue family.

Several people unified their caliber.

From now on, it was said to the outside world that Qiao Mingjin was just asked by the noble to help with this matter, and the noble paid for collecting the stakes. As for the price of some wooden stakes in the future, which would be higher and some lower, there would also be excuses.

The people in the village would not blame her.

This has also avoided a lot of disputes and a lot of verbal fights.

I visited several other families throughout the morning to confirm the accuracy of the news.

After receiving Qiao Mingjin's correct words, they all happily went home to find their families to dig piles in the mountains.

In half an afternoon, everyone in the village knew.

The daughter-in-law of the in-law family who separated after a divorce is now collecting wood piles in the village.

Some people don’t believe it, so why are the wooden piles collected?

Someone told him that so-and-so belonged to so-and-so, but the whole family went up to the mountain to dig.

Some people were dubious after hearing this and went into the mountain to have a look.

Sure enough, there were several families digging wooden piles on the mountain.

What is this thing doing here?

Is Yue San's mother-in-law really addicted to selling firewood? Or is she unable to cut firewood and wants everyone to help dig and chop it together?

But if this is the case, how much money can she make?

Someone ran over and asked, how much would a wooden stake cost?

Some people were deterred when they heard that the price could not be set until they were dug out.

Not to mention how much I will pay, if you don’t want it after digging it out, then wouldn’t it mean that I dug it up in vain?

Someone said yes, even if they didn't want it, they would chop it up and charge the price of firewood.

When everyone heard this, they thought, well, this is a good deal.

Anyway, being idle is idle. You can't lose anything. So many people went up the mountain to dig wooden piles with hoes.

In the Yue family, Mrs. Wu couldn't sit still after hearing this.

She couldn't figure out what the daughter-in-law was doing after she left home?

I originally thought that the mother and daughter would come back in despair and beg her to let them go home and ask her for another bite of food.

It won't be long before the mother and daughter come back crying and tell her that they can't survive outside, they have no land, no land, and no food to eat.

Then she pretended to be kind and took them in and let them do work for her at home. It was like hiring free servants. When the mother and daughter come back, won't it be difficult to handle?

It's just that after waiting and waiting for so long, the mother and daughter didn't say they would come back, they just didn't even say a word.

It's really tough.

Now I heard that she bought the house she lives in now, and also spent one or two silver dollars to buy a four-acre homestead in front of and behind the house.

You are really a prodigal. You still need to buy the land in front of and behind your house? Who would squeeze the house next to you and not be able to build it? It is a remote and uninhabited area outside the village. Can gold or silver be dug out of that land?

I don’t know where I can earn money. How can I earn three taels of silver in such a short time by selling firewood?

Now Mrs. Wu is worrying about getting Mrs. Liu to come to her house as soon as possible so that she can get her dowry so that she can have a good marriage with her little daughter.

It is best to be from a wealthy family in the city or someone with a well-off family, a shop, and a farm. Not only will his family be in good hands, but his son may also be able to have money to establish connections, and she can become an official or something like that.

Follow the old lady's addiction.

I don’t know what Yue Laosan’s stubborn head is doing.

He made sarcastic remarks to Mr. Liu and said nothing warm or affectionate, and now he has simply disappeared from sight.

You said you were away on a business trip. How long have you been home since?

The Liu family and their daughter almost sent people to inquire about the news every few days. But even she didn't know where her son was now, and she hadn't seen the third child in a long time.

If the third child doesn't come back, there will be no money to get back.

In the past, in addition to the monthly salary, the third child also had a lot of filial piety money given by others. But since the mother and daughter moved out of the house, the money the third child got back has become less and less.

Not only was the money from filial piety gone, but even half of the monthly salary was returned.

She asked the third child, who said he needed money because he was going out to socialize. However, she suspected that the third child used it to supplement the mother and daughter. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come.
