Chapter 115 Injured
"Can you really support him?"
The man became more interested.
The other party seemed to be attracted by Zhao Chunhua's unique idea and couldn't help but want to know whether such an attempt had any possibility of success.
Chicken is a well-known nutritious food. Not only is the meat delicious, but it can also replenish physical strength and enhance physical fitness.
However, a chicken usually weighs several kilograms, and it costs at least dozens of coins to buy one, which is indeed a considerable expense for an ordinary family.
Unless it is on particularly important days such as festivals, it is rare to see this dish on the daily dining table.
If we take a step back, fish soup becomes a more economical choice and the first choice for many people to nourish their bodies.
Zhao Chunhua shook her head and said, "I'm just about to give it a try!"
She wasn't actually completely sure in her heart, and it wasn't clear whether she could succeed, but she thought it was worth a try, and it might bring unexpected results.
Regarding the idea of digging a fish pond at home, although there is no explicit regulation prohibiting this, considering that the population of each household is relatively large nowadays, in order to ensure the needs of life, even if there is only a little usable space in the front and back yards, most of it is used as vegetable gardens.
After hearing what Zhao Chunhua said, the man was skeptical, but still decided to give it a try and go home to dig a fish pond. Maybe he could really raise some fish as she said.
Zhao Chunhua didn't care too much about what others thought of her behavior.
She raises these small fish purely to satisfy her own taste preferences. As for whether it will cause her neighbors to follow suit, it is not something she cares about.
In fact, deep in her heart, Zhao Chunhua still has a small wish. She hopes that everyone in the village can find ways to increase their income. When everyone's living standards improve, they will no longer focus too much on her.
That morning, Zhao Chunhua and Shu Ziying went to the river together and stayed there for some time before returning home. The buckets they brought were filled with about sixty or seventy lively little fish fry.
"Let's go, today's mission is complete," Zhao Chunhua said, "I still have to water the vegetable garden later, so we can't delay too long."
On the way back, Shu Ziying was still responsible for carrying the water bucket, while Zhao Chunhua was responsible for carrying the child and walking.
At this time, the little stone baby has grown to about seven and a half months old, and is beginning to be willing to sit up more and more often.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chunhua suddenly came up with a new idea - she planned to make a special means of transportation for her son, which would be equivalent to an ancient version of a baby carriage.
Of course, this invention did not come from her flash of inspiration. In fact, similar devices have existed in history.
This tool, which is specially designed to facilitate the travel of infants and young children, was called a "stroller" in the past. Its functional positioning is very similar to the baby stroller products that people are familiar with in modern society.
The handrail car is designed in a rectangular shape, and the lower part and the bottom are tightly wrapped with solid wooden boards. The purpose of this is to ensure that the structure is stable and will not fall apart due to long-term use.
In the very center of the lower part, a small hole was deliberately dug, and a small but sturdy wooden barrel was cleverly placed underneath.
This layout makes it convenient for children to go to the toilet while keeping the car relatively clean and hygienic, taking practical needs into consideration.
The upper part of the handrail is made up of multiple wooden strips of uniform thickness and closely arranged.
They not only enhance the safety factor of the entire structure, but also give the vehicle a more elegant and chic appearance.
A small height-adjustable table is added to this part of the design. The material is still hard and corrosion-resistant wood, but the edges are rounded to prevent children from accidentally bumping and getting injured.
Normally, this board can be used as a desk or a play table; when more space is needed, it can be easily lifted up and put aside, meeting diverse needs without taking up too much space.
Although the rectangular structure itself provides good stability, making it safer for children to sit in it, it is not enough to fully meet Zhao Chunhua's requirements.
After all, traveling with children often requires preparing a lot of items - from diapers to spare clothes, to snacks and various emergency necessities, etc., these are all indispensable.
The current version obviously cannot accommodate such a rich and diverse range of equipment.
After realizing this, Zhao Chunhua took immediate action.
She contacted a nearby bamboo craftsman who had superb skills and a good reputation, and communicated her ideas and expectations to him in detail face to face.
She clearly remembers owning a cart made entirely of woven bamboo when she was a child.
This cart is about 80 cm wide and 1.2 meters long, and is connected and fixed by finely polished bamboo poles.
Because the material is light and strong, it is both beautiful and practical as well as very durable.
Whenever my grandmother was busy, I would put my little self in it. It was very suitable for eating, playing and even sleeping.
What’s even more rare is that it is spacious enough for children to stretch their limbs freely inside, and it is extremely light and easy to carry.
Finally, it was not until elementary school that some key connections began to loosen and could no longer be used, so it was reluctantly dismantled and burned as firewood.
Driven by her deep nostalgia for the wonderful memories of her own childhood and her wish for her grandchildren to experience similar fun in the future, Zhao Chunhua decided to customize a batch of new bamboo strollers in the classic style of her childhood for her family and future generations to enjoy.
That’s right, a total of three orders were placed, preparing a special gift for the three little babies: Tangyuan, Tiaotiao and Xiaoshitou.
Although on the surface there seems to be a subtle difference in the relationship between the three (after all, Xiao Shitou is her biological grandson), she believes that every younger generation should be treated equally and there should be no favoritism in terms of care.
Besides, the production cost is actually not high, so I might as well be generous and take it all on.
The fishing work was carried out continuously for three days in this intensive manner. Until this morning, Shu Ziying, an old friend who often came to help with farm affairs, came to tell Zhao Chunhua that autumn had truly arrived, which meant that it was the most important harvest season of the year. She had to devote herself to the rice harvesting operation, so she could no longer come to help catch fish.
Hearing this, Zhao Chunhua nodded with deep understanding, then handed the extremely cute little stone in her arms to the other party to take care of, and walked towards the parked ox cart with a basket full of spoils on her back.
The autumn harvest time has arrived. Although she does not go to the fields to work, she feels that she is the elder of the family.
