Chapter 9 Being connoted
"I can do carpentry, my fourth brother and sister, is there anything you need me to do?" Zhou Qing asked in a low voice.
He didn't want to speak, but the fourth brother seemed to have an even more frightening aura when he faced his fourth younger sister.
After being pinched by Aniang, my brain, which had never been very bright, suddenly became active.
Xi Yao turned around and looked at him, his eyebrows curved, and he said very politely: "That's great, brother, I'll draw something for you, see if you can do it."
"Okay," Zhou Qing had no idea, but the others didn't think so.
"What time has it been? If you still have the time to play with these things, hurry up and eat." Chen's anger was a bit unbearable.
"Auntie," Zhou Yi was worried that everyone would misunderstand the fourth sister-in-law, so she quickly explained: "The fourth sister-in-law said that our straight-turn plow is not good, what does she know... a curved-turn plow, yes, a curved-turn plow does not require an ox.
of!"
"What?" The calm Zhou Yougen was so excited that he lost his voice at this moment, "Yao'er, are you telling the truth?"
"That's what the fourth sister-in-law said," Zhou Yi said hurriedly.
Everyone's eyes fell on Xi Yao, but she stood gracefully and confidently.
"Fourth child," Chen's heart beat a little faster, and she immediately lost her anger. She turned around and shouted to the fourth child: "Go get a pen and paper for your wife."
Zhou Rong took a deep look at Xi Yao, then turned and went to the study...
"Auntie, this paper and pen are so expensive. If my younger siblings don't know how to do it, I'd better let her tell me to let the fourth child draw!" said Lin, the daughter-in-law of the elder Zhou Sanshun, feeling distressed at the side.
Xi Yao, who was looked down upon, met Zhou Rong, who was content and content, as if he wanted to see a joke. He chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't know that I am not only literate, but I can also write."
When the Zhou family heard this, their eyes widened.
Except for Zhou Rong, there is no other literate person in the Zhou family.
"Didn't your parents treat you badly?" Zhou Rong asked sternly.
Xi Yao curled her lips and said aggrievedly: "They were very good before. My brother was literate and I followed suit, but then... my brother wanted to get a wife, so they..." She choked up, her eyes filled with tears,
He felt so aggrieved that he seemed unable to speak any more.
"Sister-in-law Fourth, your hands," Zhou Yi said worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just a scratch on the skin," she said, even though she was in pain, she was unwilling to bow her head in front of Zhou Rong.
"Don't mention those bad things, good boy, come on, you draw that thing first," Mrs. Chen glared at her most favored youngest son, and then coaxed Xi Yao.
Xi Yao obediently took the paper and pen and started drawing. The whole family watched. Zhou Rong, who had always been in the spotlight, couldn't help but touch his nose in discomfort. He always felt that the woman in front of him was very scheming...
If Xi Yao knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him: there will definitely be more things that make him uncomfortable in the future.
"You mean, it becomes curved here?" Zhou Qing looked at it, frowning in confusion.
"Brother, the straight-shaft plow is long and heavy at the front, so it can't be lifted by one person, and the weights on both sides are different for two people. There always has to be someone in the middle, and it's inconvenient, especially when walking," Xi Yao said as he drew.
While saying: "The curve here makes it look shorter and lighter. Adding a rotating shaft here can make it more flexible..."
A crisp sound rang out in the yard, making Zhou Rong couldn't help but touch his cheek with the tip of his teeth, feeling a little irritated.
"Hey, it seems so," Zhou Qing reacted and suddenly said: "That's the truth, fourth brother and sister, you are really amazing!"
"Haha, I just read too many books," she said shyly, but she didn't know how heartbreaking these words were for Zhou Rong.
