Chapter 423 Going up the mountain to cut bamboo to make a rack
Gu Qingqing led Geng Chunhua to the front yard and asked casually, "Sister-in-law, can you read?"
Geng Chunhua chuckled, and said with a rare bit of pride, "I didn't know them before, but after I got married, the child's father taught me a few. What's the matter? You don't want me to learn to read with Uncle Yang, do you?" Thinking of this possibility, Geng Chunhua's face turned green with fright.
How old is she? How can she live in the same room with a child?
Gu Qingqing was amused by her and teased her, "If anyone wants to teach you, it should be Brother Yu who teaches you. It's not our turn."
"Then why did you ask me if I can read?"
"It's best to mark the date on the soap you produce. There aren't many words to use. Do you know these 30 words from the first to the 30th? Can you write them?"
As Gu Qingqing spoke, her eyes fell on the other person's face, and she saw her first nod and then shake her head.
Gu Qingqing didn't know what she wanted to say for a moment. Just when she was about to ask, she heard her say, "I should still know them all, but I just forgot how to write some of them."
Gu Qingqing thought it was something else, just this? It's easy!
"It's great to know each other. Come on, let me see what you can't write and I'll teach you. After we write the dates, we'll stick them on the soaps made yesterday and today. In the future, as time goes by, we only need to look at the date hanging on the door to know how many days a batch is. Then we can calculate when to remove the soap from the mold and how many days it needs to be left to stand after removing the soap from the mold. You and I also know how much soap we can deliver to the store every day."
"Oh, what you said is great. Although I don't quite understand it, I just think it's amazing." Geng Chunhua praised from the side.
The two went to the study, and Gu Qingqing took out some rough paper. They cut it into strips the size of an adult's palm. When Gu Qingqing learned that the other party also wanted to write with charcoal, she taught her the charcoal pencil she was good at using and asked her to write about yesterday and today.
Afterwards, Gu Qingqing went to boil the pot and made some paste. The two of them found two thicker bamboo tubes in the yard, and then pasted the paper written by Geng Chunhua on the bamboo tubes, and placed the bamboo tubes next to the other party's date soap.
Gu Qingqing looked at the molds spread all over the floor and wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. "It's not a good idea to spread them on the floor. I'll see who's not busy at the back and ask them to help make a few shelves so that we can put the molds up layer by layer."
"Okay, your brother Li is idle at home, so I'll ask him to come over and help." Geng Chunhua said happily.
"That's so embarrassing."
"What else can I help you with? My Yuzhu can't be left out." said Luo Meihua who came to visit the house.
"Aunt, what are you going to do? Uncle is so awesome. He can do anything. Look at the ball he made for me." A childish voice sounded behind Luo Meihua.
Then Gu Qingqing saw Niu Xiaoguang running in with a ball woven from bamboo strips in his hand.
"Xiaoguang, slow down and don't offend my aunt." Luo Mei hurriedly pulled him.
Niu Xiaoguang looked up at his mother and said seriously, "Mom, I know I am just showing my toys to you. I won't bump into you."
Gu Qingqing gave Luo Meihua a look, then bent down to take the ball from Niu Xiaoguang and praised, "It's so beautiful. This is made by your uncle for you. Do you like it?"
"I like it. Auntie, do you think my little brother likes it? I want to give it to him to play with." Niu Xiaoguang asked while looking at the ball in Gu Qingqing's hand.
Gu Qingqing thought about it very sincerely, and said to him with some regret, "Little brother is too young and may not know how to play, but you can play in front of him. He is in the east wing, you can follow your sister to play with him." Gu Qingqing looked at Niu Xiaoyang who came in later, and said to him.
'Oh, let's go find our little brother. Sister, let's go find our little brother to play with.'
Niu Xiaoyang, who hadn't even entered the door, was pulled away by his own brother.
There were three adults left in the room, so Gu Qingqing told Luo Meihua that she wanted to make a few bamboo shelves to put the finished soaps on.
Luo Meihua just nodded and said "very good" and didn't say anything else.
......
Zhao Dong followed the villagers to the mountain to burn the rocks early in the morning. Under the command of Old Yang, everyone successfully removed the protruding rock.
The stone fell from a height and broke into many pieces on the spot.
After he and Zhao Nan came back with a few baskets of stones, they went up the hillside to salvage the bamboo that had been rotting in the ground and put it in the stream.
It was a hot day, so at noon our family simply made a simple vegetable dumpling soup. We also had some steamed vegetable cakes from yesterday, and each of them ate a large piece.
Seeing that he finally had some free time in the afternoon, Zhao Dong found Old Yang and said, "Uncle Yang, Zhao Nan, Zhao Zhong and I are going up the mountain to cut bamboo. You can help keep an eye on it at home. If the donkey cart at home comes back, please help deliver it to the foot of the mountain."
"Okay, got it, go ahead and vomit!" Old man Yang went to take a bath in the stream outside the village in the middle of the day, using the shampoo given to him by Qingqing. Now, as he basked in the sun, Old Yang felt that his gray hair had become much smoother.
Zhao Dong just smiled when he saw this, then took his tools and went out.
As a result, when they arrived at the bamboo forest on the mountain, they heard the sound of bamboo being cut down.
The three brothers looked at each other and walked towards the sound, and then they saw Niu Zhanghe and Niu Yuzhu cutting bamboo.
Zhao Dong then quickly stepped forward, and from a considerable distance he shouted, "Uncle, Yuzhu, why are you guys here too?"
Niu Zhanghe turned around after hearing the voices. When he saw Zhao Dong and his friends, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and said happily, "Why are you here too? Aren't you here to help Qingqing cut bamboo too?"
Zhao Dong paused, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, from what I heard, you guys are also helping the boss cut bamboo?"
Niu Yuzhu smiled at Zhao Dong and said, "Brother Dong, Meihua said that my sister-in-law wanted to make a frame. My father and I have nothing to do at home, so we thought of going up the mountain to cut some bamboo and help her make the frame. What about you guys?"
"We are here to help our host build a donkey shed outside."
Finally, the two teams discussed it and decided that it was all Wuyan's job.
