"I'm going to chop bamboo, you can take a rest, I've been tired all day today." Shen Xingyan said thoughtfully.

"it is good."

Fang Yiqiu nodded, and went back to the house to go to bed. When passing by the yard, she found that several baskets she had woven had "disappeared".

No need to think about who took it away, Fang Yiqiu was speechless, how could there be such a thick-skinned person in the world.Before leaving, I have to take a few baskets along, and I don't know who said yesterday that her baskets could not be sold.

Fang Yiqiu went into the room and fell asleep, and when he got up, it was already dark.

"Are you awake?" In the darkness, Shen Xingyan's voice came, and Fang Yiqiu got up from the bed in a jerk.

"Why don't you light the lamp?" Fang Yiqiu rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked.

"I'm afraid it will disturb you to rest." Shen Xingyan sat at the table thinking about something.

Fang Yiqiu wanted to fold the quilt at first, but thought that she would have to sleep later, so she shook the quilt and sat cross-legged on the kang.

The fabric of this quilt is not very good. On the day Fang Yiqiu just got married, when she woke up in the morning, the red bed sheet and quilt cover stained her clothes.

Fang Yiqiu made a quick decision, took off all the bedding and washed them again.

The color of the quilt does not fade now, but the cover is hard, and the fabric is so worn that it hurts the skin.

Fang Yiqiu decided to buy two bolts of silk and satin to make pajamas.

"Tomorrow we will weave some more baskets and sell them in the city. It happens that my mother can also draw flowers. I will let my elder brother learn together tomorrow. This work is easier than farming and earns more. Then the family will have an extra income." .” Fang Yiqiu expressed his thoughts.

Weaving baskets is of course not what she wants to do, she just thinks that after she leaves, the Shen family can have another craft to make a living, and life will be easier in the future.

To be honest, she will only go to Kyoto this time, and whether she comes back or not is the same thing.

"You're bothering." Of course, Shen Xingyan heard Fang Yiqiu's implication, clenched his fists tightly in the dark, his eyes fixed on Fang Yiqiu like eagle eyes.

"There's no need to worry about it. My mother is old and she has to go to the fields. It's too hard to work for others. I'll teach her to draw other patterns after I'm done. I will concentrate on weaving baskets at home. You or your elder brother and sister-in-law can sell them. ,” Fang Yiqiu planned.

As expected, she was not included in the plan, Shen Xingyan was angry and disappointed.

"You're right." Shen Xingyan said calmly, but Fang Yiqiu didn't notice the change in Shen Xingyan's mood.

When weaving baskets the next day, Fang Yiqiu had long seen Jiao Meizhi poking her head not far away. As soon as Fang Yiqiu looked up, Jiao Meizhi pretended to be nonchalant.

After a while, Fang Yiqiu saw Shen Rongyang rubbing his hands and walking over.

"Brother and sister, your basket is really beautiful." Shen Rongyang touched his nose to strike up a conversation.

"It's quite simple, big brother, do you want to learn it? Once you learn it." Fang Yiqiu smiled and found a step for Shen Rongyang.

"Really, I can learn? Are you willing to teach me?" Shen Rongyang didn't expect things to go so smoothly.Waking up early in the morning, Jiao Meizhi told him to find a way to sneak a peek at how Fang Yiqiu weaves things. After they learned how to weave baskets, they would sell them for money.In fact, Fang Yiqiu sold it for more than ten yuan a day, which is too greedy.

But he and Jiao Meizhi peeked at the side for a long time, and couldn't understand at all. Fang Yiqiu's slender fingers were extremely flexible, and a basket was made in a few minutes. Shen Rongyang was forced by Jiao Meizhi to have no choice but to ask Fang Yiqiu himself. .

"Of course, we are all a family, so why don't you teach me this? If you didn't ask before, I thought you and sister-in-law didn't like the baskets I made." Fang Yiqiu didn't stop working, raised her head and said with a smile.

"How can you not like it? Your basket is so beautiful and sold for a lot of money. It's a good thing." Shen Rongyang said sincerely.

"Sister-in-law, come and learn too. After we learn how to weave baskets together, it will be faster." Jiao Meizhi pretended to be careless, but her ears kept paying attention to the movement here.

Fang Yiqiu suddenly asked her to go too, Jiao Meizhi was so surprised that she didn't realize it for a long time.

"This is very simple, you two should be able to do it after learning it from me." Fang Yiqiu picked up a bamboo stick and patiently explained the steps of basket weaving to the two of them.

Shen Rongyang and Jiao Meizhi worked in the fields all year round, and they got started very quickly. Except for the first one, which didn't look good, the rest of them got better.

Seeing that both of them came back, Fang Yiqiu clapped his hands and got up, making room for them.

In this way, Jiao Meizhi and Shen Rongyang weaved baskets, and Xia Xianghan drew patterns on them, forming an assembly line, which could still be sold at a high price in the city.

Seeing that Fang Yiqiu was about to leave, Jiao Meizhi made mental preparations for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to speak, and tripped over the bamboo on the ground in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Fang Yiqiu turned around and asked.

"It's...it's okay, Wu Niu, thank you." Jiao Meizhi finally said what she wanted to say, and she breathed a sigh of relief.Fang Yiqiu smiled and waved his hand.

In fact, Jiao Meizhi is not such an ignorant person. She really doesn't like Fang Yiqiu, and she can't deny that Fang Yiqiu is very capable. In the past few days, Shen Yulong and Shen Yurong have been sticking to Fang Yiqiu every step of the way. She also knows that they like this aunt of.Fang Yiqiu not only bathed and washed her two children, but also handed over the basket-weaving skills to herself without reservation. Jiao Meizhi suddenly felt ashamed, thinking about what she had been doing recently!

"Daughter-in-law, what's the matter with you, are you all right?"

Seeing Jiao Meizhi standing still, Shen Rongyang was startled, and waved desperately in front of Jiao Meizhi.

Jiao Meizhi reacted after a shock.

"What can I do, hurry up and weave the basket." Jiao Meizhi patted Shen Rongyang on the shoulder, and started to weave the basket.

Fang Yiqiu delivered the twenty baskets custom-made by the woman in the city to the woman's home on time. The baskets were exquisite in workmanship, and the paintings and calligraphy on them were also very beautiful. Shen's baskets, bamboo strips and other handmade products were quickly opened in the county. market.

Not only that, Fang Yiqiu also taught the Shen family to weave all kinds of gadgets and sold them to children, which was also very popular.

In just half a month, the baskets made by the Shen family brought in an income of 30 yuan, which was equivalent to the money the Shen family earned from farming the land for a year. Jiao Meizhi's hands were shaking with excitement when she settled the accounts.

The relationship between Fang Yiqiu and Jiao Meizhi is also becoming more and more relaxed. Jiao Meizhi repulsed Fang Yiqiu from the beginning, and now she offers to help Fang Yiqiu with cooking.

Seeing the harmony in the family, Xia Xianghan was the happiest.
