Chapter 449 Corn Leaf Crafts
Because of this instruction, the members of the poorest brigade in Manshan Commune have been walking with extra energy these days.
Captain Jiang didn't want to talk to Lu Qiaoge, but instead he kept looking into the room, listening intently, eager to hear what Director Lu had to say...
At this time, Lu Qiaoge was looking at Zhao Xiaoman, who was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket. Her eyebrows were like willow leaves and her eyes were like stars. You have to say, she was really beautiful.
Zhao Xiaoman clenched her hands, feeling a little shy and nervous. She said, "Um... Director Xiao Lu, you're here. Thank you, thank you."
"I'm here to watch the fun, too. What are you thanking me for? This is a gift from our neighborhood office. This is the blanket everyone chipped in to buy. The rest are just for you. I've put them on the kang in your room."
Lu Qiaoge, Chen Zhi and the other two brought the things in and placed them on the kang while introducing them.
Zhao Xiaoman was at a loss and didn't know what to say.
Lu Qiaoge pointed at the item on the kang cabinet and asked, "Is this the handicraft you wove with corn leaves?"
Zhao Xiaoman said embarrassedly: "They are just some small items, some of which I made in the past, and some of which I figured out in the past two days. I dare not call them handicrafts, they are just... just..."
I just don't seem to know what to say.
Lu Qiaoge smiled, but looked at them one by one very seriously. He had to admit that no matter whether it was from the past or the present, even if they were casually made up, they were very delicate and beautiful.
This is something she made up within the scope of what she had come into contact with and could think of.
There are cushions, futons, coasters, fans, handbags, a sugar jar, and a pair of vases with lotus flowers and lotus leaves made of corn leaves. Although they are not as fresh as real lotus flowers, they have a unique artistic conception.
What surprised Lu Qiage was a corn that looked so real.
At first glance, I really thought it was a corn cob placed next to it.
When Lu Qiaoge got it in his hand, he was really shocked. He turned to look at Zhao Xiaoman who was sitting on the kang and asked: "Did you weave this corn with corn leaves too?"
Zhao Xiaoman nodded and said softly, "It uses corn husks that are completely dried. I was just making it for fun."
"This is good, really good." Lu Qiaoge praised sincerely.
What Zhao Xiaoman called corn pulp is actually the corn cob.
In rural areas, it can be crushed and used as pig feed.
At this time, some old men in the village heard the news and came over here.
Shao Le, who was talking to Qin Hengzhi outside, also came into the house.
In front of everyone, he took out 50 yuan and handed it to Zhao Xiaoman, saying, "Your brother Yonggang has a special task today and needs to work overtime to complete it. He may not be able to take leave, so he asked me to give you this money. He said that he hopes you live a good life and that you will get better and better."
Zhao Xiaoman's eyes turned red after hearing this.
Zhao Xiaomei next to her was very smart. She took the money and put it in her sister's hand.
Shao Le had been to the Zhao family several times. In the past, when Old Laizi Zhao was at home, the house was filled with a depressing and suffocating atmosphere, both inside and outside.
And the smell in the house is also very bad.
But now, even though I haven’t added anything, I feel clear and transparent.
Even the most timid Zhao Xiaomei dared to look up at him.
Shao Le smiled at her and thought to himself that Old Laizi Zhao was really a nuisance, so he tried to think of a way to keep him in there for a few more years.
He also introduced Chen Zhi to them.
Xiaoman called out "Sister-in-law Shao Le..."
The other two shouted the same thing.
Shao Le smiled and asked, "Is there anything else you need me to do?"
Zhao Xiaomei finally mustered up the courage: "Then...then Brother Shao Le, can you...can you get married without telling my second sister?"
People of this generation, except for soldiers who have better physical fitness, other young people are relatively thin. Even if they have thick hair, one has to admit that they are quite thin.
I don’t know if Shao Le can carry it.
Shao Le nodded and said, "Okay, I'll carry it."
Zhao Xiaoman over there lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
At this time, the jeep that caught up also stopped at the same place as Qin Hengzhi's jeep.
Shao Yonggang led his two children towards the Zhao family.
The two children were born in Wagouzi Brigade.
Although he had adapted to life in the city, when he arrived at the Wagouzi Brigade where he had lived for several years and saw his familiar friends, he immediately broke free from Shao Yonggang's hand.
Before they came, grandma put candies in the pockets of their cotton-padded clothes.
Xiao Douzi cried out in the cold wind, "Gouzi, Gouzi, come quickly! I have some candy! Erdan, Erdan, where are you? I miss you!"
Shao Yonggang's somewhat tense expression relaxed a lot at this moment. He said to his father who was driving, "Dad, do you want to get out?"
Father Shao thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
He also got out of the car. This was a car borrowed from the company, and it was not convenient to find someone else to be the driver. It just so happened that he could drive, so he took his son over.
Otherwise, I would feel uncomfortable seeing him feeling restless at home.
The Zhao family's children are okay, they are not the type to take advantage of others.
He is very sensible and knows etiquette.
He neither persuaded nor stopped, but just let it happen naturally.
This was naturally not Mr. Shao's first time in the countryside, and he knew what life was like in the countryside.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Yonggang, you have suffered a lot over the years."
Shao Yonggang shook his head: "Dad, let's not talk about the past."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."
He changed the subject: "This car belongs to Qin Hengzhi, the representative of Qin. He should be here too."
The father and son quickened their pace and soon arrived at the Zhao family's house.
Captain Jiang did not expect that two more people would come, one of whom was naturally a familiar figure, Shao Yonggang, who grew up here and started a family.
The other one... you know what, his eyebrows and eyes look a bit like Yonggang.
He should be Shao Yonggang's biological father.
It's obvious that he is a high-ranking official in the city.
Captain Jiang sighed inwardly.
Qin Hengzhi took the initiative to introduce them, and then nodded gently to Shao Yonggang.
At this time, Gou Wa's grandmother in the room squinted her eyes and said to Zhao Xiaoman, "You always say your mother is bad. Your mother is bad. You should thank your mother for switching your elder brother Qin with Zhao Yonggang. Look, with this switch, you have two more brothers. Where else in the world can you find such a good thing?"
The old lady had a very loud voice. Shao Yonggang, who was in the yard, heard it and sneered.
Zhao Xiaoman's face darkened.
This was the kind of talk she hated to hear the most.
It was like she had a new brother.
But what is the price?
How can I have the nerve to ask her to thank that confused and weak mother?
Lu Qiaoge, who was looking at the corn leaf handicraft, also looked at the old lady who said this.
At this time, Shao Le was standing aside. Before he could speak, this Gou Wa's grandmother said, "Shao Le, you too. Since you returned to your ancestral home, I have never heard you say a good word about your mother. You should thank your mother.
Without your mother, could you have such a good life now?
Maybe you are like these young people in the village, growing up in the village and farming, facing the loess and back to the sky, and still want to be a worker? You are dreaming!
