Ning Youzhi didn't expect that this straw curtain would be so easy.
But it looks easy, but in practice, only a few of them can weave it well. Others have loose straws that can be pulled out with a single pull.
Ning Pengpeng shook his head and said to those people.
"If you can't do it, ask other people in your family to learn."
There was no other way, so some of them could only go back in despair and called their wives and children to come over.
Sure enough, women's hands are much more skillful than men's.
But after practicing a few more times, the straw curtain is almost the same as Ning Pengpeng’s!
"Okay, you go back and remember to make up more."
After teaching them, Ning Pengpeng drove them away!
After they left, Ning Pengpeng asked Ning Laoer to chop off the branches of the bamboos brought by the villagers, then cut them in half, break off the bamboo joints inside, and roast the middle part on the fire.
Then twist and bend to form a large semicircle.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Looking at the bamboo strips made in his hands, Ning Laoer was confused. Is this going to be a bow and arrow?
But it’s not that big, right?
The length of this bamboo strip is as long as three of us!
"Come here, follow how you made these pepper seedlings, and now make a big one."
After Ning Pengpeng made a few bamboo strips, he took Ning Laoer to the backyard, pointed to the pepper seedlings that had been covered with straw, and said to him.
"Make it a big one? Okay, mother, you wait."
Although Ning Laoer didn't understand, he still did as Ning Pengpeng said honestly.
Not to mention, Ning Laoer was so fast that he planted the bamboo sticks all over the field in no time.
"Let's get it done here too."
Ning Pengpeng pointed to the dry land next to it where peppers were not grown. Now that they have been planted, they will be planted all over!
After it's done, let me turn over the ground again.
"Hey, okay."
Ning Laoer immediately nodded in agreement. When all these bamboo strips were baked and inserted, it was almost dark.
"Let's have dinner here later and call Mian'er and the others over.
Tomorrow, remember to go to the store where you came today to see how the straw curtains are being woven!
If you have it compiled, bring it over first.
By the way, when you get there, ask the third and fourth sons if they want to do the same in their backyards?"
The snow hasn't fallen particularly heavily yet, and I hope it won't fall too heavily tomorrow, otherwise the snow in the fields will have to be pulled over to cover the straw curtains.
"Okay, mother."
Ning Lao Er nodded, regardless of whether Lao San and Lao Si did it or not, he would definitely do it.
He put the extra bamboo in his yard and planned to do the same in the ridges of his backyard tomorrow.
Ning Youzhi returned home, and the one who went to Ning Pengpeng's house today was his youngest, Ning Yongping.
"Dad, this is an easy job, I'll let Xianglan learn it too!"
Ning Youzhi glanced at the third child, and then called Mrs. Yang to call out the eldest brother and the second child, including their youngest daughter Ning Tian'er, who also came out to the living room.
"Just now, Uncle Lu came to tell me about making straw curtains, and only the third child was willing to learn it with me.
Now, the third child and I have learned how to draw straw curtains. If you are willing to learn together, then we will teach you.
If you are unwilling to learn, and then you see the third child and his family making money, then don’t say privately that I, a father, favor the third child and his family."
The boss Ning Yongjin glanced at his daughter-in-law Zhou Hui, and when he saw her glaring at him, he immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
The second child, Ning Yongwen, looked indifferent. After thinking about it, he said to Ning Youzhi.
"Dad, let Cui Jing learn from you!
Anyway, we use straw from home and it doesn’t cost anything.”
Hearing what the second brother said, Zhou Hui immediately raised his head and glanced at him.
After thinking for a while, he also said with a smile.
"Second brother is right, it doesn't cost anything anyway, let me learn it too!"
Ning Tian'er lowered her head and said nothing, but shook her head to express her unwillingness to learn.
She is seventeen this year and will get married!
If you use this straw and make your hands rough, where can you cry?
Moreover, her fiancé is from the town.
She has a bit of inferiority complex, she is not as fair as the girls in the town, and her hands are not as soft as the girls in the town.
Although she doesn't have to work in the fields, Ning Tian'er has still done some housework at home since she was a child.
Ning Youzhi saw that his youngest daughter was unwilling to learn, and he knew what she was thinking, so he didn't force it.
He nodded to Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Cui, and then called to them to bring the straw.
"Lao San, you can teach your wife yourself!"
When Zhou Hui went to move the straw, Ning Yongjin couldn't help but move forward.
"Didn't you say before that you can't make much money by making straw curtains? Why are you suddenly willing to learn it again?"
Zhou Hui rolled her eyes at him and replied angrily.
"Now at home, all three of your sons are studying, and there is not even one who can help.
Although we don’t have to pay for it now, what if we have to pay for it ourselves later?
And the eldest is nine years old this year. In a few years, we will have to get him engaged. We can’t have empty pockets!
I’ve thought about it, but this straw doesn’t cost money anyway, so every penny we can earn is worth a penny.”
Hearing what his wife said, Ning Yongjin nodded immediately and suddenly realized that his wife was more thoughtful than him.
On the other side, Ning Yongwen and Cui Jing were also whispering.
Cui Jing said to her man with a nonchalant look on her face: "If you want to beat the straw curtain, what can I learn? I don't want to learn. Don't think I don't know. It's called straw curtain, but it's actually just rubbing the straw rope."
Woolen cloth!
Look at my hands, are you willing to get calluses all over them?"
It has to be said that Cui Jing's hands, even though she often works in the fields with her men, are still somewhat fleshy and soft to the touch, like sourdough buns, and she can't feel any calluses at all.
This is all because Cui Jing takes good care of herself and often soaks her hands in rice washing water.
I just soaked all the areas where calluses are prone to develop during daily work with rice washing water, and then kept pressing on the areas prone to calluses to relax the flesh.
Therefore, her hands never looked like working hands.
"Daughter-in-law, dad said so, it would be a bad idea if we didn't do this job!
Moreover, my aunt is now a money-spinner. If she asked Uncle Youlu to come over and tell her this, she might be able to make a lot of money!
Besides, we don’t need to spend any money, you just watch it first, if it’s difficult to learn, then you won’t learn it.”
Ning Yongwen coaxed to Cui Jing.
Hearing what her man said, Cui Jing pouted and reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Ning Youzhi and Yang were both in the living room, waiting for their daughters-in-law to come in. Ning Youzhi patiently taught them.
At first, Zhou Hui and Cui Jing were not very interested, but later on, they couldn't help but become interested.
When a section of the straw curtain was pulled out, their eyes were full of joy.
"Dad, is it that simple?"
"Yes, if it snows again in the future, it would be a good idea to stay at home and draw straw curtains."
Zhou Hui nodded vigorously, feeling that she would be able to create a long straw curtain in one day.
