Rebirth at the starting point of happiness

After Song Xiaojuan left, Su Qiuyue closed the door and sat down, touching her pounding heart and breathing heavily.

She was really shocked when she heard what Song Xiaojuan said just now. She thought Song Xiaojuan was also reborn. Her mind was blown. She was still very panicked and chased Song Xiaojuan away. She waited until her heartbeat slowed down before she slowly calmed down.

When she heard her say "in a dream", she thought she had caught her talking wrong and hurriedly drove her away. Now that she thought about it, it must have been something that Song Xiaojuan blurted out in a hurry. Was this the reason why she hadn't let go of her? If so, she could breathe a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect Song Xiaojuan to be dreaming. What was going on in the dream? It seemed that those two sentences didn't mention anything about space.

That means the space matter has not been exposed. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She was really confused just now, and was in a panic, thinking that she was exposed, and that Song Xiaojuan was also reborn. That's why she was chasing her relentlessly.

Su Qiuyue was like an ant on a hot pot at home, because she was uncertain and panicked, and now she didn't know what to do. She could only force herself to go to her cousin's house and ask her eldest cousin to come and look after the house. She had to go to Shanghe Village.

The next day, I set out early. I felt that if I escaped from Team 17 and stayed away from Song Xiaojuan, I would feel better, and my emotions gradually stabilized.

She felt a little safer. When she arrived at Shanghe Village, she felt more at ease. Her past life experience still affected her now.

I am still a little afraid of Song Xiaojuan. Although I have changed a lot in my life, I have been timid and cowardly all my life, and sometimes I can't help but feel timid towards Song Xiaojuan.

Su Qiuyue put Song Xiaojuan aside first, bought some wool and learned how to make wool felt. She concentrated on doing one thing, and her previous panic gradually calmed down.

When she walked back, she also figured it out. She is not the Su Qiuyue of her previous life. Song Xiaojuan is not the high and mighty Song Xiaojuan of her previous life.

Even though she was also reborn, she knew about the space. But who could believe it? And the space was hidden very well by her, and no one could take it away. She was safe.

Or maybe it was because the last time she found out about it in her previous life was too exciting, which made her feel a little flustered when she encountered some situations.

She had to tell herself firmly that she was different and Song Xiaojuan was not that scary. She did not rely on the space to make plans for the future. She had the ability and was working hard to keep moving forward.

By the time she got home, her emotions had stabilized. This was a home that she was determined to protect. She had to be stronger and more resolute.

After returning, she went to town again and bought a lot of soap because she needed to process the wool.

First, the impurities in the wool are slowly picked out, and then the dust on it is cleaned. Then, the wool is combed and sorted while being cleaned, and then slowly dried in the shade.

"No wonder this thing is expensive and few people make it. It's really troublesome. It takes too much effort.

It has been several days since we cleaned it. It will be too much trouble to dry it in the shade and then do it again." Xu Feng said as he looked at the wool in the west room waiting to dry.

"If it were that easy, wouldn't it be like selling rubber shoes?" Su Qiuyue held the kraft paper and thought about how to draw a plan of the shoes.

"What are you doing?" Xu Feng saw her gesturing here and there but not writing anything.

Su Qiuyue quickly gave her the pen, and the two began to study how to make felt shoes. Now they still don't understand the shrinkage ratio of wool felt, so they have to experiment slowly.

After the wool was dried, Su Qiuyue began to learn from the wool bought from Shanhe Village and the experience from watching videos in her previous life, and began to scrub and make felt shoes with her cousin.

Su Qiuyue asked her cousin to make two shoe trees out of wood so that she could put the finished felt shoes on them to shape them.

The failure of my first attempt was that I didn’t grasp the shrinkage ratio well. The shoes were made too small, and after they dried they would have been even smaller if it weren’t for the shoe tree. I had to wash them, take them apart, and make them again.

I did it twice more and finally got it almost done. Except the sole is a little thin, everything else is fine.

But after just a few pairs of hands, they couldn't take it anymore and had to continue wearing gloves.

Finally, my hard work paid off and after several days I finally made a few pairs.

"Oh my god, this is too much effort." Xu Feng was looking at the felt boots in his hands while applying gala oil on his hands.

Even though she was wearing gloves, her hands still had burrs and felt particularly rough. She didn't care at first, but Su Qiuyue said that it would crack over time, so she still had to take good care of it.

The two of them made eight pairs of felt shoes in total. One pair for each of them, one pair for their uncle, and one pair for Xu Hua and Xin Yue.

I plan to sell the rest during the big market, just to see if it works.

"Cousin, do you think we can make money if we get a few more people to make felt and sell it to the recycling station?" Su Qiuyue asked.

When my cousin heard her talking about making money, she suddenly became excited and said, "We can do the math."

"This water is free. It costs a little firewood to boil water in winter. The rest is basically a matter of effort. How much is a pound of wool?"

Xu Feng started to plan, then ran out to borrow a scale.

Because these pairs of woolen combat boots were made for my family to wear, I didn't calculate how much material was used.

My cousin started weighing them one by one, and then calculated how much wool was used in a pair of shoes, and then calculated how much money she could earn based on the prices she heard.

"Sister, we still have some wool. Let's make a felt hat. That can also be sold for money." Su Qiuyue suggested seeing that she was interested.

After all, it is still quite difficult to make felt shoes, especially the higher the boots are, the more difficult it is. Su Qiuyue knows how to make dry felt. But now there is no such needle, so it is impossible to make it now. If there is such a needle, it can be made faster.

Su Qiuyue shared her idea with her elder sister, and the two of them began to study how to do it faster.

My eldest sister is smart in this area and can quickly calculate how much wool is needed for a pair of felt boots.

For other things, we have to experiment slowly together.

It's already the twelfth lunar month and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

After Laba Festival, it is the New Year, and we kill the New Year pig and prepare New Year goods.

This year, my cousin's family came out to the market, and my eldest and second sisters each brought a child. Xu Hua and Xinyue followed their cousin to visit the market.

Su Qiuyue gave her sister two dollars today and let her buy what she wanted.

She buys what she wants at the market. Last year, she bought a lot of medicinal herbs and some food.

I didn't buy anything else. This year, in addition to buying food, I looked more for things I liked.

At the fair, some people would sell unused items from home, such as the wine bag that Su Qiuyue saw.

It's not very finely made, but it's very useful, it can hold wine or water. There are also some old items.

In fact, it is just some bottles, jars, and odds and ends, such as pipes, knives, and the like.

Su Qiuyue would not check whether it was an antique, and the seller would not sell it as an antique. Su Qiuyue only looked at whether she liked it or not, for example, buying a jar that she thought was relatively complete so that it could hold candies at home.

There is also a simple iron, which is a whole piece and has no slot to hold charcoal blocks. You just need to place it on the stove lid to heat it.

Su Qiuyue also bought a scented bracelet. She didn’t know what kind of wood it was made of, but she thought it smelled very nice.

The eldest cousin sold her felt shoes, and she and Su Qiuyue counted them several times on the way back.

After selling out the cost of three pairs of shoes, I made three dollars.

"Qiuyue, this can really be done. Don't you think it would be better to do it in the summer? It would be more convenient to wash it in the river then." Xu Feng said softly.

"Sister, everyone will see us. What if they say you are a profiteer?" Su Qiuyue was still very cautious.

"No, just sell it to the purchasing station. That's money too." Xu Feng was not worried.

"But if others see it, they will want to do the same, which makes it difficult." At this time, some things are hidden, and it is not good to make them known to everyone.

"Or let's try the needle. Does your cousin know a blacksmith? We can ask him to help make the needle." Su Qiuyue suggested that they could just do it at home.

"Can you tell me what kind of needle it is?" Xu Feng asked.

Su Qiuyue could only describe the appearance of the felt needle as best as she could.

"Isn't this just an awl? Can't you just fine the tip of the awl? It will be faster if you add a few more needles to the awl." After listening for a while, Xu Feng felt that it was an awl.

Su Qiuyue thought about it and realized that the awl was quite suitable. She just needed to modify it.

There is a blacksmith in the commune, so just go there when the time comes.

After the big market, we went home to prepare for the New Year, and the children were the happiest. The children in the brigade began to have snacks in their pockets again.

This is the second year of the two-year rural life. The two sisters have adapted to the rural life.

Xinyue became more and more active. When the weather was fine, she would run around in the brigade. When it was time to work, she would also carry a basket to collect firewood.

When I was taking care of Qiu'er, I could also do odd jobs behind her. I could also help her light the fire and wash clothes at home.

Su Qiuyue looked at the large and small jars of pickles and sauce in the kitchen, and the various herbs and food hanging on the shed in the west room.

There were also thick quilts neatly folded on the kang cabinet. She and her sister were so proud of their clothes and shoes.

All her efforts and hard work were worth it. She protected her sister and her family.

When I greeted my parents and grandparents on the night of 30th, there was no longer any sadness from last year, only pride and happiness.

My cousin came back three days before the Chinese New Year and brought them some taro cakes and milk candies. The fifth day of the first lunar month is the day of the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. From this day on, we can start using needlework and scissors.

Su Qiuyue and her cousin went to the commune to find a blacksmith to order a felt needle. It was an awl, but the needle in the front was thinner and the top was rough.

The blacksmith said it was easy to make, so Su Qiuyue made several models, some thick, some thin, and one with several needles on it.

We agreed to pick it up after the 15th.

"Qiuyue? Are you in the room?" Su Qiuyue was reading a book when she heard her cousin's voice.

"In the room!" Su Qiuyue quickly knelt down and shouted, and soon her cousin, older cousin and uncle came in.

"Qiuyue, you are the educated one in our family. Your cousin has something going on and wants you to help make a decision." The cousin then told him the purpose of his visit.

This time, my cousin's job on secondment is to re-copy some ancient books and some ancient paintings of which only some vague traces are left.

At the beginning, Xu Hui just copied some ancient books. Because they were very old, he could only copy them down to study them.

The teacher in charge there later discovered that he could imitate it almost exactly, without filling in the missing parts randomly, and he was a down-to-earth and steady person.

Then he started copying some precious ancient books. One day, there was an illustration in a book, and Xu Hui copied it honestly.

It was a sample drawing of an ancient pagoda with complicated patterns on it. Xu Hui had studied carpentry and was very familiar with mortise and tenon structures, so he was able to draw it easily.

It was seen by a person in charge, who asked him to try to redraw and supplement some of the ruined buildings and patterns.

Xu Hui was very smart in this regard and completed the task very easily. The person in charge was immediately excited.

Then he proposed to take him in as an apprentice, and then send him to Beijing to go to school. He needed to systematically learn some knowledge of architecture and painting.

It's a good thing. It's a great thing that a great master is willing to train his son.

But this school lasts for three years, three years. Won’t it delay a lot of things when you graduate?

"Cousin, what did the teacher say specifically? Where did he say you would be transferred to? Did he say how to go to school?" Su Qiuyue asked.

"The teacher said to transfer me to the Provincial Museum. Then my unit will recommend me to go to school." My cousin scratched the back of his head, feeling a little overwhelmed.

He thought the teacher was doing it for his own good and he should listen to the teacher, but the teacher asked him to discuss it with his family.

His father thought that going to college would cost money and it would take three years. The family still owed Qiuyue money, so they would have to go hungry again.

"Uncle, my brother has to go. Others don't have this opportunity yet. It's also an honor to be recommended by the unit.

My uncle doesn't have to worry about spending money because he was recommended by his unit and he receives a subsidy every month.

Besides, going to school doesn't mean that you don't have any free time at school every day. My brother is not a lazy person. He can do some odd jobs during the holidays, and my cousin can help him a little. "Su Qiuyue probably knew what her cousin was worried about.

"If I lose this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life. My brother is in college. He will be an educated man in the future. The person he will date in the future will not be a rural person like us. At least he has to be an educated person.

When you have a child in the future, think about it, your grandson will no longer be our country boy." Su Qiuyue told him about the benefits in the future, so that her uncle could rest assured.

"Really? It would be a good thing if the company gave some subsidies." After hearing what Su Qiuyue said, the cousin felt reassured.

After the 15th, my cousin will go to work. Once the transfer order comes, we will have to go to Beijing to go to school after the first month of the year.

That's Beijing. My cousin can come back by then, and we can prepare the necessary things then.

"Sister, my cousin is going to be so successful after going to college. Why are you still not happy?" Su Qiuyue looked at her cousin with an unhappy face, not understanding why she was not happy when there was a happy event in the family.

"I did that for him. It was those two ungrateful bastards who sent the letter!" Xu Feng got angry whenever he mentioned this.

"Well, it's been two years, and the two of us have received less than ten letters in total, except for the first one to assure you that you are safe.

The rest is just talking about how hard their training was. Now another letter has arrived. The two of them have become officials.

Ah, mainly to tell my grandma, and we just listened to it.

Now that you are an official, your salary should be high, right? But I didn't see a penny. "Xu Fengyi was very angry when he said this, "What a white-eyed wolf! It's better to feed two dogs than to feed them."
