"Is it the same as this house?" Xu Qiaoqiao asked, "Mom, how did you come up with the idea of building it like this? Others in the village said they have never seen such a house, but it is very practical, especially the hut."
Zhang Xiaoying: "..."
She was really fed up with the dry toilets in the village.
So before building this house for Xu Qiaoqiao, she had carefully designed it.
The toilet is a replica of the squat toilet of later generations, and it also has a simple water tank. You can press and flush it, and it will be clean!
"As long as you like it, this will be your house from now on. As long as you live comfortably, I won't waste my brain thinking about you so much." Zhang Xiaoying said.
Xu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly and leaned on Zhang Xiaoying's shoulder, "Mom, why can you think of so many things?"
"Maybe your father saw us living a hard life and woke me up in my dream."
"I don't care, my mother is the most powerful anyway."
"Okay, okay, how old can you be if you act coquettishly without fear that children will see the joke?"
"You are my mother, how can you be laughed at?"
Zhang Xiaoying was speechless.
…
The next day, Yu Yang came early.
None of the three of them came to the wedding reception for the new house yesterday, but they all gave gifts in advance.
Yu Yang naturally knew that Liu's mother and son were here to cause trouble.
He privately arranged for people to find trouble for the Lin family's daughters. As expected, Liu's mother and son were as honest as quails and never brought trouble to Xu Qiaoqiao again. Of course, these are all things for another day.
"By the way, has Master Zhou not chosen the auspicious day to become a disciple? How many days has it been?" Seeing Yu Yang, Zhang Xiaoying thought of this again.
Hearing this, Yu Yang smiled and said, "I was about to tell Master about this, but the teacher said that the sixth day of April is a good day, and he asked me to come and become a disciple on that day."
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, isn't that the day after tomorrow?"
"yes."
"It's very particular."
It's just a matter of having a cup of tea, but it has to be so troublesome.
"Apprenticeship is different, you must be serious."
"I said I would take you in, so I won't do anything perfunctory. But you should know that I will teach you more than just one thing, right?"
"I know, don't worry, Master, I don't mind."
Yu Yang has a good temper.
Pei Zhaolin and Wang Jia looked at each other in confusion. Ayang's temper seemed to have changed when he met his mother-in-law!
Sure enough, one thing brings down another!
"Master, I'm going to teach the children first, excuse me."
"Go ahead."
Zhang Xiaoying waved her hand.
Yu Yang bowed his hands and retreated.
No matter how high his status is, he will always look respectful and polite in front of Zhang Xiaoying.
With such an upbringing, it’s hard not to like him!
The same goes for Zhang Xiaoying.
Of course, this kind of like comes from the heart, and Zhang Xiaoying has no romantic feelings for him.
The five children in the family also like Yu Yang very much.
Especially twin girls.
I haven't seen Yu Yang for a day, so I talk about brother Yu Yang.
Xu Jinyu and Xu Wencong admired Yu Yang more, especially Xu Wencong, who almost never spoke without Yu Yang, as if he already regarded Yu Yang as his idol.
The environment has a great impact on people.
Half a month later, Xu Wencong could no longer find the arrogance and willfulness he had in school, and his whole person became humble and polite.
Zhang Xiaoying knew that he learned everything from Yu Yang.
But such changes are undoubtedly good.
At least Xu Wencong is more likable than before, he also knows how to put himself in others' shoes, and he refuses to fall behind in his studies.
If you are talented and love to learn, if you take good care of his temperament and don't spoil it, why worry about being useless when he grows up?
Zhang Xiaoying has not been idle during this period of time.
She picked up the pen and practiced calligraphy, but unfortunately, she could not see any progress in her handwriting in a short period of time.
The only change is probably that it is straighter horizontally and vertically, and no longer crooked.
"Is Aunt Zhang here?"
Not long after Yu Yang left, someone knocked on the door.
Liang went to open the door and asked, "Who are you?"
"This lady, I'm here to deliver the wooden man." The person outside the door said.
When Zhang Xiaoying heard this, she got up and walked out.
"I want the wooden man. Bring it in for me."
"Hey, okay."
The young man carefully moved the wooden man down.
Zhang Xiaoying took off the outer layer of cloth and was slightly startled.
The one and a half meter tall wooden man looks lifelike.
"Oh my God, this looks so similar." Ms. Liang couldn't help but sigh, "It's just like a real person."
The young man scratched his head, "I made it, but my master said it lacked some charm."
"Did you do it?" Zhang Xiaoying looked sideways at him. He looked about the same age as Xu Yunfei.
He nodded, "Auntie, can you see if these two can do it? My master's hands can't pick up things recently, so he can only guide me to do it."
"This is enough. How much more money do I need to give you?"
"Three hundred and twenty articles."
Zhang Xiaoying went back to her room, counted the coins, and gave some homemade plasters to the young man.
"Here, let your master try putting it on your wrist. It should relieve the pain." Zhang Xiaoying said.
"How much?"
"It's for you."
The young man refused and had to leave fifteen cents before leaving.
Zhang Xiaoying moved the wooden man back into the house and began to draw a diagram of the human body's meridians structure on the wooden man.
If you want to learn acupuncture, you must know it thoroughly so that you can administer the needles more accurately.
It took Zhang Xiaoying a whole day to paint, but she still wasn't finished.
Mrs. Liang did not dare to disturb Zhang Xiaoying, so she brought food in when it was time to eat and reminded Zhang Xiaoying to eat.
Every time Zhang Xiaoying agreed, she didn't eat. It wasn't until Mrs. Liang came again in the evening that she found that the lunch meal had not been touched and was completely cold.
Liang: "..."
"Mom, please eat quickly, don't starve." Mrs. Liang couldn't help but said, "You haven't eaten all day!"
"Uh-huh, just leave it there, I'll be ready in a moment." Zhang Xiaoying responded casually, but in fact she didn't hear clearly what Liang said.
Mrs. Liang had no choice but to step forward: "Mom, have a rest. You should drink some water at least."
Zhang Xiaoying then raised her head to look at Mrs. Liang, and then her eyes fell on the window behind her.
Oh boy, it's getting dark!
She took a look at her results and only finished half of the painting.
My stomach was also rumbling with hunger.
"Mom, let's eat." Zhang Xiaoying said nothing, and Mrs. Liang was walking on thin ice.
My mother-in-law was interrupted by her. Is she going to be angry?
Zhang Xiaoying stretched out and stretched her muscles, "Why does time go so fast? I feel like it hasn't been long yet. Why is it already evening?"
Mrs. Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's because Mom is so serious that she didn't even eat lunch!"
"Hahaha, remember to remind me next time." Zhang Xiaoying took the food and ate it happily, "Well, my second brother's cooking skills are getting better and better, and his knife skills are also much better."
When Mrs. Liang heard this, she felt a little depressed.
Zhang Xiaoying didn't notice.
After a while, Ms. Liang plucked up the courage and asked, "Mom, can I also learn cooking skills?"
Zhang Xiaoying was stunned, looked up at Mrs. Liang, and continued: "I am too busy at home every day, and I always feel bad."
Zhang Xiaoying glanced at her belly and said, "You are about to give birth. Just be calm. After the baby is born and the confinement period is completed, you will have skills that you should learn. Don't think wildly while you are pregnant with the baby. It will not be good for the baby or you."
