As it turned out, they were worrying too much. Following Xu Jingjing to the entrance of the village, a Xiali car arrived at the entrance of the village without knowing when, and Xu Jingjing got in the car and left.

Seeing Yuan Yuan's face covered in dust from the exhaust fumes, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but laugh. He took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said, "You're worried about her, but she already has a way out. However, I thought you would hate her, but I didn't expect you to be so kind and still worry about her?"

Yuan Yuan wiped her tears and said, "That's not what I meant."

Even if she wants revenge, she must do it herself.

We can’t let anything happen to Xu Jingjing now.

Jiang Zhou said: "I know you are a man of integrity."

"what?!"

Yuan Yuan frowned, she thought she was listening to a martial arts novel. But when she looked up at Jiang Zhou, he looked very normal. She laughed: "It's as if they're saying I'm a female knight, how exaggerated!"

Jiang Zhou said: "It's not an exaggeration at all."

He was so calm that Yuan Yuan blushed unconsciously. She lowered her head and smoothed her hair: "I feel embarrassed when you praise me like this."

"You are very good, don't be embarrassed."

Yuan Yuan was even more speechless.

Fireflies twinkle like stars, quietly lighting up in the night sky.

It twinkled and illuminated her heart.

Jiang Zhou insisted on sending Yuan Yuan to the door before he left. When his footsteps disappeared, Yuan Yuan closed the curtains and muttered to herself: "What a liar, you said you were not going back to sleep in the house."

No one knew how Jiang Zhou did it. He would wait every night until Dong Yuehe and she fell asleep and then leave. The next day, he would come to the yard before they got up and cook breakfast for them.

Thinking that he was leaving soon, Yuan Yuan really couldn't bear to let him go.

The next day, it was originally planned to deal with the wild medicinal herbs dug out from the field. Yuan Yuan watched Ba Gu and other helpers help collect them, and she was listless, thinking blankly about whether to bring a gift for Jiang Zhou, and she was lost in thought.

"Logically, he has given me a lot of things. I should give back." She thought, breathing out the mall in her mind. After practicing hard every night during this period of time, her compatibility with the mall has reached 20 points. But she also found that the higher it goes, the harder it is to improve. Now the mall has unlocked an automatic sprinkler system, and she plans to install it in the bamboo forest when the time comes.

"What are some good gifts for men?"

Yuan Yuan was thinking in her head, and the "gift" column in the mall was lit up. Finally, she picked a watch. It was a domestic brand mechanical watch, durable and not too expensive, suitable for Jiang Zhou to wear in the army.

After getting the watch, Yuan Yuan was very happy even though she spent money on it.

After you have a gift, you need to package it. The ordinary paper box packaging is too tacky. Yuan Yuan saw a lot of slender cattails on the roadside and had an idea: "I got it."

She pulled out some cattails and wanted to weave a small bag.

He was so engrossed in playing with it that he didn't even notice when a group of people gathered around him.

Eighth Aunt said, "Yuan Yuan, what are you making up? Are you playing?"

Yuan Yuan said: "Jiang Zhou will end his vacation tomorrow, and I want to give him a gift. A bare gift is ugly, so I want to weave a small pocket and add a grass butterfly on the outside, how beautiful it will be."

The important thing is that it is also environmentally friendly!

Seeing her fiddling with the "pocket" which was still twisted, Ba Gu smiled and said, "Silly girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? Let Ba Gu help you. The mats and pillows that Ba Gu sleep on at home are all woven by herself!"

Yuan Yuan scratched the back of her ear and smiled awkwardly: "Everyone is helping me with my work, I am just embarrassed."

Eighth Aunt said, "Don't say 'help' or 'help'. You pay the money and we do the work. Isn't that normal? Weaving a pocket or something is too simple. It's just a piece of cake. When do you want it?"

Yuan Yuan said, "Before dinner tonight."

"Then after we finish work, go to Aunt Ba's house and I'll make it for you. If you have nothing to do now, just prepare the ingredients for me. I need flat, straight, smooth cattails without scars!"

"Okay!"

When she dozed off, someone brought her a pillow, which made Yuan Yuan even more energetic. Everyone worked for her in the fields, and when she had nothing to do, she would go to the edge of the woods and the stream and pull up a lot of cattails.

After finishing work, the herbs were laid out on the drying ground. Yuan Yuan personally rode her bicycle to take Bagu home.

Auntie sat on the back of her bicycle, hugged her waist, and laughed: "Oh, your bicycle is so good, so fast! And it doesn't make any noise!"

Yuan Yuan: "Keep working hard, Ba Gu will have money to buy something better than mine!"

Eighth Aunt chuckled: "Eighth Aunt is old, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

The eighth aunt's house is at the end of the village, with a small courtyard and a low house. Dried fish and bacon are drying in the courtyard. Yuan Yuan noticed that the dried fish are only the size of a thumb, and the bacon is more lean than fat. The eighth aunt said: "It's hard to get pork belly. Lean meat is better than nothing. Ten years ago, such pure lean meat was not available."

"Eighth Aunt. Can you show me the mat you wove?" Yuan Yuan asked.

She had a vague impression in her mind, but she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, so she wasn't sure.

"of course can."

Eighth Aunt entered the room and took out a rolled-up pillow and mat. "The mat is not easy to carry, so I won't take it."

"Okay." Yuan Yuan took the pillow mat from Ba Gu's hand. It was very smooth and soft, with the primary color and red color interlaced to form a lattice pattern. Yuan Yuan's eyes sparkled. She looked at it over and over again and said, "This is a golden flower mat. Ba Gu, I didn't expect that there are still people who can make our golden flower mat now?"

She was so excited, but Aunt Ba felt strange: "Why doesn't anyone know how to weave? Doesn't every household in the village know how to weave? Oh, you're from another village, so you don't know. This is a skill that everyone in our village knows. My mother taught me, and my mother was taught by my grandmother."

Yuan Yuan's eyes went dark, and her body swayed back and forth. A piece of news from 20 years ago flashed through her mind: "The local specialty Jinhua Xi was successfully declared as an intangible cultural heritage. The only five remaining inheritors of the Jinhua Xi craft all said that they were facing difficulties in passing on the craft."

And now, all the women in Jiangjia Village know this craft? !

Seeing Bagu pulling a small stool and sitting down, she used her fingers to tell the warp and weft of the cattails, and the dozen or so cattails seemed to come alive, flying under her hands. In less than two minutes, the bottom of a bag appeared, and Bagu took out a square bamboo cloth, stretched the bottom, and chose a side to weave the surface of the bag.

Yuan Yuan watched Bagu working and chatted with her: "Bagu, have you ever sold these mats? Is there anyone who buys them?"

Ba Gu said, "There were some in the past. But they were all cut off by capitalist tails. Now no one does it. It takes a week to weave one mat, and you can't make much money from selling it. If you want to go further, you have to cut grass, boil grass, and dry grass. It's very troublesome. It's better to go out and work."

Yuan Yuan asked: "Why can't I sell it for much money?"
