At the foot of the mountain, the bearers put down the slide rails and wiped the sweat from their foreheads with the towels around their necks.

Li Yi and Ni Baohong first took down the two little guys in the arms of Liuzi and Yue Houming. The two little guys were happy. Liuzi and Yue Houming who were sitting behind were holding them tightly, and now they can finally let go.

The heart is here

Liuzi stood up and stretched his muscles, took out a hundred-yuan bill, and handed it to the two 'carriage bearers', "No need to look for this!"

"Sir, you gave me too much! We agreed to come down from the mountain for 30 yuan, so two are 60 yuan," the bearer said naively, wiping his sweat.

"Just take it for you!" Ni Baohong said with a smile [

"No, no, how could I take such a huge advantage?" His head and hands were shaking hurriedly, and he couldn't say anything.

"In that case, you can change the money!" Yue Houming's eyes flashed and he said with a smile.

"Yeah! Okay!" He dug into his pocket and found only 30 yuan. "You guys wait for me to change the money."

By the time he came back with the change, Fang Monan and the others had already driven out of the mountain gate.

When the bearer came back after changing the change, he asked the other three people, "Where are the people?"

"Gone," one of them, who looked very similar to him, younger and taller than him, said stupidly.

"Why did you let people leave? We haven't given them any change yet?" He patted his head with a big palm like a cattail leaf fan and said.

He touched his head aggrievedly, "Dad! Can I stop him if he wants to leave?"

He gave 30 yuan to another slider and said to his son, "Let's go! Go wait and see if anyone else rides the slider."

One trip was thirty, and there were very few people on it. I was lucky today and made two trips. Sometimes I couldn’t make one trip for several days.

"By the way, Dad, the group of people who left just now said that if you feel embarrassed, please knit a few women's bags, and the remaining money will be regarded as a deposit." They carried the sliding rod and walked towards the mountain gate.

"That's fine!" he said. The two found a big tree and the father and son sat down. The son said first, "Dad, can you make this straw braid?"

"How can you not make it up? You see, everyone has paid a deposit." His eyes were black and white, and he showed a set of white teeth when he spoke. It was because he often drank mountain spring water.

"Dad, do you know what I said?" the son said angrily.

"Okay! I know what you mean, just make it up if you want! It doesn't take much effort, our land is small, we have planted it a long time ago and it's very free! We have to make up women's bags for no other reason.

The bag is waiting for someone to pick it up." He was still thinking about this matter.

"Is it okay to make up anything?" the son asked again.

"Anything is fine?" He was currently thinking about how to knit a women's bag, "Hey! By the way, son, you are in front and your eyesight is good. Did you see clearly what that woman's bag looks like before you go back and give it to me?

Draw it on the ground to give it a nice look.”

"Yeah," the son said absently. What he was thinking was that tomorrow is Sunday, a good day for offering incense, and there must be a lot of pilgrims and tourists. What should I make up? It's definitely not a big one, and there's not enough time. Yes,

This can be done on the spot

Early the next morning, the father and son walked to Xishan Mountain before dawn. When they arrived, it was already bright. They found an open space on both sides of the mountain gate and spread the straw mat on the ground.

, I’m going to look for a place to put the slider with the second boy. If there’s work, we won’t be able to help you.”[

"I know, Dad, go ahead! Don't worry! I can do it on my own." He raised his head and continued to fiddle with it.

Gradually the sun rose higher, and around nine o'clock there were more and more tourists. When his father and the second boy came down from the mountain, there were people crowding in front of the first boy's stall.

The two of them squeezed in. The straw mat was already empty. The younger one sat on the pony and worked hard. The grass in his hands was flying up and down. After a while, a little grasshopper was finished.

"How was it? How long did it take him?" one of the tourists asked with a smile.

"Yeah! About two minutes."

"Wow...so awesome"

"Grandma, buy me one. It's only a dime each. Buy one for me! The worst I can do is eat less one popsicle and two pieces of candy."

Others with children also ask grandma to buy it and ask mom and dad to buy it.

Some adults saw that the textures are clear, the styles are novel, the verdant green is just like the real thing, the craftsmanship is exquisite, full of folk and rustic flavor, and the handmade fabrics are full of natural beauty and artistic beauty. Of course, more elderly people recall the past in

In the days in the countryside, those who didn’t have toys could only find fun in nature, so they simply sold them for money.

The eldest son saw his father coming back and said, "Dad, come here and help me quickly. I'm too busy." He got out of the way of Xiao Mazha, pulled out a straw mat from under the straw mat, sat on it cross-legged, and began to weave grasshoppers* Remember Niupipu Academy's most popular

"Hey! Okay!" He sat on the small horse, pulled out the cattails, and worked hard. It was like a father and son competing, setting a new time record along the way.

The young man said during the period, "Er Shoes, hurry home and bring all the remaining grass from home. What we brought is almost used up."

After hearing this, the second child ran home

It lasted from nine o'clock to more than eleven o'clock, for more than two hours. The number of tourists gradually disappeared, and then the father and son took a breath. The second child gave them two bottles of alms bowl, and drank water to slow down their breathing.

The second boy sat on the ground, holding a small box made of straw, and began to count the "steel bang" coins and dimes inside. As he counted more, his eyes opened wider.

"What's wrong? We've already counted how much money it is." He slapped the second child on the head, "What are you doing so stupidly!"

He and the eldest son only made up the money and threw it directly into the box, so they had no idea at all. Later, after the second boy came back, they guarded the money box.

"How much? Tell me quickly." The young man also wanted to know how much he earned after working so hard for so long that his fingers were numb. Last night, after returning home, after dinner, the father and son took advantage of the moonlight to start weaving grasshoppers, birds, mantises and dragonflies.

These simple frogs have been compiled until the moon is over.

"Dad! Dad! Big brother... big brother," Erxiao said, trembling with excitement, "98 yuan!"

"How much did you say?" They thought they heard wrongly, so they held his hand tightly and asked, "How much?"

"98 yuan"

"Son, pinch your dad quickly, I'm not dreaming!" His mouth trembled and he said tremblingly [

The second boy handed the money box to his father, "Dad, you are shaking it, it's really heavy. I didn't count it wrong. Even if I counted something wrong, I wouldn't count the money wrong."

Holding a heavy box of money in his hand, he sat down on the ground, "Oh my God! In two hours, we earned almost half a month's worth of ordinary workers." Can you not be excited? "This is Ben's business."

"

This touch was so great that the eldest father and son all looked at each other stupidly. The eldest son's eyes were piercing and his whole body was as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He said brightly, "Dad, I'm going to the market tomorrow."

the zoo”

"Gah? Going to the zoo?" he asked stupidly.

"In the park, I want to observe the small animals and make them more lifelike, such as snakes, cranes, peacocks, prawns, pheasants, pigeons, mandarin ducks, dragons, etc. Only in this way can we attract more people with complete varieties, diverse categories and novel styles.

"The people are so enthusiastic." The young man's eyes were like a dream, almost as if he was intoxicated.

"Okay! I support you as a father." He patted the young man on the shoulder cheerfully and said with a smile, "However, you can't just make up small animals. There are many things to make up. Now let me think about how to make up women.

style bag”

The father and son seemed to have found their goals in life and felt that their lives were headed forward.

***********************

On the way back to the city, Fang Monan asked curiously, "How do you know he can't give change?"

Liuzi rested his elbows on the car, twisted his body and looked at Fang Monan and said, "Have you seen a few people sitting on the sliding pole along the way from us?"

Fang Monan thought for a while, "It's really not true! The price is not low, and I am not a charming lady. I am a capitalist and landlord, so I can't bear to sit on the slider."

Liuzi coughed lightly, "Ahem... Xiaoyue and I are in special circumstances."

Ni Baohong pursed her lips and snickered while driving the car

"Is there really such a big market for straw weaving?" Ni Baohong asked curiously

"Of course, a rural woman has a unique skill of exquisite wicker weaving. In her hands, ordinary wicker can be turned into more than 2,000 kinds of handicrafts such as flower baskets, fruit baskets, food boxes, etc., all of which are sold abroad. With wicker, people can earn a year.

Come back with a Santana," Fang Monan said with a smile.

"Ah, no way! Making money like this," Ni Baohong smacked her tongue, "This is simply a money grab. You can make a lot of money."

Liuzi rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, "With the improvement of modern science and technology, various mechanical products and synthetic materials products are flooding into all areas of our lives. This means that even though straw woven crafts have encountered challenges, they also face major opportunities for development.

, because on the one hand, machine-made products and artificial synthetic material products are used in some fields.

On the other hand, people in some Western developed countries are generally tired of mechanical products and are increasingly interested in handicrafts using natural raw materials. Some people have put forward the slogan "go back to nature", which makes

The value of straw handicrafts has doubled, and it is increasingly involved in more aspects of people’s lives.”

"What I said is right!" Liu Zi said with a smile.

"Taoism returns to nature and becomes one with heaven," said Ni Baohong

Fang Monan squinted his eyes slightly, "Actually, getting rid of poverty and becoming rich does not necessarily require the introduction of industry, especially foreign high-energy-consuming and high-pollution enterprises. That is a development method that will eliminate future generations."

"It's not like you said... no descendants!" The sixth son was a little confused by Fang Monan's fierce words.

Fang Monan remembered that when he was in kindergarten, the water in the river was drinkable. When he was in elementary school, he picked some vanadium into the water and drank it. When he was in middle school, there were still schools of fish in the river. When he was in college, the water in the river was

The water can still be used to water vegetables. After I went out, I heard from Fang’s mother that the water in the river could no longer wash the toilet seat. How could it not be serious? It has only been thirty years, and the land that has been lived for five thousand years has been ruined.
