Chapter 139 Going Down Together
Seeing her like this, Old Qin didn't want to force her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then you have to promise me that if you want to find a master in tool making, unless the master is better than me, you can only take me as your master."
Shen Qingqian didn't want to agree, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded, "Okay, I promise you."
At worst, she wouldn't become an apprentice. There were no patents in this world anyway, and she couldn't make money by making these things. She could just draw a picture occasionally and consider it a benefit to the people.
Things had come to this point, and Old Qin had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.
Before leaving, he specifically promised, "Don't worry, I'll make the two things on the blueprint for you. I'll talk to the general and try to make a few more sets for you."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Qin." Shen Qingqian quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Qin Lao waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite with me. I am half your master now. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask your elder brother to pass them to me. If I have nothing to do, I will come to talk to you."
Shen Qingqian: "How can he be half a master? This is too casual.
After Old Qin left, Shen Qingqian looked at the sky outside which was beginning to clear up and felt that the rain came at a very timely moment.
After such a rain, the land on the other side of the valley will be easier to cultivate, and the stream will be filled with water. Once the land is cultivated, it will be easier to sow and water.
But if they did that, they would have to deal with all the stones in the ground by tomorrow.
Shen Qingqian took a deep breath and walked towards Wu's room.
"Sister Qian, come here quickly and try this jacket to see if it fits you." Mrs. Wu bit off the thread in her hand and called Shen Qingqian over with a smile.
Shen Qingqian paused, and said awkwardly, "Aunt, why did you make clothes for me first? What about Qin Ge'er and the others?"
"They have your sister-in-law. Besides, with your small body, it won't be difficult to make a jacket." Wu said as she pulled her to try on clothes.
It's not that troublesome, but it does cost a lot of material.
Given the current situation of the Shen family, there was not much fabric available. Shen Qingqian could see that the jacket that Wu made for her was made by modifying old clothes. However, because the old clothes were made of good material and well maintained, they looked like new.
"Oh, our sister Qian has really grown into a big girl. Look at her little appearance, she is so adorable." Mrs. Wu circled around Shen Qingqian and pointed at her neck. "Wait a minute, I will give you a white rabbit fur collar, it will definitely look better."
The main reason why she would make clothes for Shen Qingqian was because now Shen Xiao could work in the Military Equipment Bureau and Shen Jun and others could go to open up new land, all because of Shen Qingqian.
If it weren't for her, they would have been like other families, with all the young men having to go to the mines.
Today, she saw Chen Er and Liu Junchen. They used to be energetic boys, but now their eyes are dull and they have visibly lost weight. Therefore, she was extremely grateful that they had Shen Qingqian in their family.
Such a youngster must be pampered.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingqian didn't want to refuse. After thanking her sincerely, she explained her purpose.
"Aunt, after dinner tonight, please call all the people who work with us. We must quickly clear the rocks from the ground tomorrow. While the soil is soft after the rain, we should plow as much as we can."
The mud in the valley was still at least ten centimeters below the ground, so they had to clear away the sand and gravel on the surface before the tillage tools were ready to make it easier to plow and till the soil.
Wu frowned and said, "That's no problem. Tomorrow morning we'll make some more dry food and take it to the fields. We'll just work there all day and we should be able to finish it in a whole day. It's just..."
"Just what"
