The old lady raised her eyebrows and glanced at the second son. When he got home yesterday, he handed his wife to her, but she just sat there sighing.

He didn't do anything because he asked for it. He didn't even say a word of concern. The situation was much better today than yesterday, but he didn't even ask about it.

Although the two of them had a quarrel and a fight, it was also a matter of life and death. He turned a blind eye to anything at the critical moment. Now he knows that he wants me to take care of my second daughter-in-law. Something must have happened. I have to go there.

"I'll go check it out and be back soon. Your sister-in-law is at home and she can handle anything."

The second son wiped the sweat from his forehead. What should he do? His mother was really stubborn and would definitely go if she heard that she was not allowed to go. She actually forgot about this.

Looking from a distance, a large mass of dark clouds is coming this way. It will definitely rain heavily soon. This is a good opportunity.

Pointing to where there are clouds, he said, "Look over there, it will probably rain heavily soon. If you want to go, I'll go back and get you a straw hat. It can keep you warm."

"If I get sick, and the backbone of the family falls down, what will I do? The whole family depends on me."

The old lady felt relieved after hearing this, but as a farmer, she shouldn't be afraid of rain. She didn't get sick even when the rain reached her calves. The clouds were not big enough to look at, and they wouldn't be bigger than that time.

"It's okay, it's just a little rain, your mother is in good health, there's no need to make such a fuss."

The second son saw that his mother was determined to go and there was no way he could stop her. He was worried and decided to just give up. After all, it was his fault for not working hard, so he would accept the beatings and scolding when the time came.

But why did my mother have to go to the fields today? She must have known something. Who tipped off? Was it my wife or my eldest brother?

The daughter-in-law lay on the kang without saying a word and just crying silently. She heard her mother asking her a question with her own ears yesterday, but she didn't say anything. Or maybe she told her mother when she wasn't paying attention. It didn't seem like that.

If he went to his mother's room to talk, he would have found out, but my eldest brother was not alone with his mother yesterday.

Or maybe I blamed them wrongly. The old lady just felt like going to take a look today.

Once we figure it out, we'll make that person who keeps his mouth shut pay the price.

As they got closer to their destination, the second brother's hands clenched unconsciously, and the corners of his clothes were wrinkled.

It started to rain halfway through the journey. At first it was a drizzle, but later it got heavier and heavier. The second brother was secretly happy, but on the surface he remained calm.

"Mom, why don't we all go back and come back tomorrow when it stops raining? My eldest brother is still a little unwell, so it's just right for him to take a day off. Look, God has spoken."

The eldest brother looked up at the sky, and bean-sized raindrops hit his face. This kid was really lucky. It actually rained. He couldn't go today. He winked and said, "Mom, listen to the second brother. Let's all go back and come back tomorrow."

After getting the hint, they agreed, and the three of them walked home together. Soon, small puddles appeared on the ground, and they brought up mud as they walked. The trouser legs of the three people were all dirty, and their clothes were all wet. However, the old lady did not blame anyone.

The second son shook his head helplessly. The eldest brother meant a lot to his mother. Even the rain could not stop her from going to the fields. But when he mentioned that the eldest brother was in poor health, she agreed.

This rain came at the right time. I can find another excuse tomorrow and maybe I can fool my mother again. The longer I can delay, the better.

Three wet rats came in, and the eldest daughter-in-law hid in the house. "Put your clothes in the basin. I'll wash them when the rain stops."

After saying that, he covered his head with his hands and ran into the kitchen to boil a few bowls of ginger soup to drive away the cold. Unfortunately, there was no ginger, so he could only boil some hot water and make do with it.

It started to rain when Ni'er was walking, so she hurried home. Finally, she got home and saw the workers hiding under a shed to avoid the rain. However, her thatched hut was not much better than that shed, in fact, it was worse. At least it didn't leak.

If your clothes and shoes are wet, just scoop out the water without worrying about getting them dirty again.

Nier was worried that the rain would affect the progress, but it was not a big deal. She wondered if the house would be weak. She would go ask them later, after all, they had more experience than her.

The sky finally cleared up. Nier walked among the workers and found the leader. "Uncle, will this adobe house become unstable when it rains?"

The leader thought that the children in this family were smart and cared about this issue. Generally, older children just think about playing every day and rarely pay attention to these things, so he patiently answered the question.

"It depends on how heavy the rain is and how long it lasts. If it rains like the one just now, it will have an impact if it continues for a while, but it won't have much of an impact right now."

Nier nodded. The impact was not big, but it still had an impact. She just hoped that it would rain less frequently recently so that the house could be built smoothly.

I ran to the back of the yard to take a look at the wild vegetables planted in the field. It just so happened that I didn't have to water them. Dad did a really good job. He planted them neatly, which was pleasing to the eye. I hope these wild vegetables will live up to everyone's hard work and grow up quickly and don't die.

I don’t know if Master Zhang has made any progress now.

Zhang, a ceramics manufacturer, walked around the mountain and stepped on kaolin clay. He squatted down, picked it up, pinched it to feel its texture, and found it was of good quality. He put it down immediately and patted the dirt off his hands.

There is also such soil on the back of the mountain, which is more humid. Even if it is the same thing, the feeling of using it in different places will be different. Wait to burn a few small things to feel its temper.

I saw some small stalls selling porcelain nearby, so I walked over, picked up a bowl, and knocked it casually. The sound was uneven, probably because the clay was not made well. How could they dare to sell such a bowl? Listening to the vendor's shouting, I felt relieved.

"It's a defective product, sold at a low price. Don't be fooled by its ugliness, it can be used normally at home."

Taoci Zhang smiled and shook his head. This man is really honest.

Look at the bottom and remember the name of the kiln. This place has produced so many inferior products, so you must not go there to burn.

When I came to the second stall, the quality was much better than the previous one, except that the glaze was a little inferior. There were so many things and none of them were pleasing to me. It was a waste of all that good clay.

After looking at several stalls in succession, I finally found a vase that satisfied me and was good in every aspect.

"Sir, you have good eyesight. This is the best seller we have. If you like it, I can give it to you at a lower price."

Ceramic Zhang put the vase back where it was. "Is this made in your kiln?"

Although the man didn't understand, he patiently replied, "Yes, sir, the kiln was passed down from my ancestors. They have made a living by selling porcelain for generations. It has been passed down to me for seven generations."

The craftsmanship of seven generations is just ordinary in Beijing, not very good. "Can you take me to your kiln to have a look?"
