Chapter 181 Umbrella
Madam Cui also spoke up, "Since the school starts late, let He Jin take you there."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded, "Okay."
After breakfast, Cui Hejin packed up his things, packed the bread, tied the bamboo, carried it on a shoulder pole, and accompanied Jiang Zhiluo to Xingshan Village.
When we meet people from the village on the road, everyone will say hello.
"Zhiluo, where are you two going?"
"Auntie, my husband and I are going back to my parents' home."
"Back to my parents' home again."
From the villagers' point of view, Jiang Zhiluo does go back to her parents' home quite frequently.
The old lady thought Jiang Zhiluo missed her natal family too much. How could her in-laws not have any objections?
Jiang Zhiluo smiled faintly, and Cui Hejin said, "Auntie, my father-in-law always thinks of us when he has good things. He is very kind to us. I just happened to have some time, so I thought of sending my wife over to accompany him and his mother-in-law."
The old lady smiled and said, "You two are such a good couple. No wonder you live a prosperous life."
If the husband's family is supportive and willing, others will naturally not gossip about it.
But the old lady was also a little envious of Jiang Zhiluo.
When she first became a new bride, she could only go home during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. Going back three or four times a year was considered good.
After having a son and then a grandson, I took care of my own family and went back to my parents' home less and less often.
Jiang Zhiluo was surprised that Cui Hejin would speak up for her, but she felt very sweet in her heart.
This way the villagers won’t gossip or chat.
When you go to Xingshan Village, if you know someone, they will say hello to them.
I also feel behind the scenes that Jiang's daughter and son-in-law are both good and filial.
It is the slack season for farming now, so Jiang Xiangchuan and his family don't have to go to the fields to work. After breakfast, the whole family gets busy.
But now they are all weaving straw sandals at home.
Jiang Xiangchuan was making a straw raincoat, and Jiang Yunshu and Jiang Yunzheng, boys who were strong enough, also helped.
It's April now. When the sun comes out, the weather becomes warmer and the family is busy in the yard.
The courtyard gate was open, and Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin walked in while calling for help.
"Dad and Mom!"
Cui Hejin also called out "Dad and Mom".
The family was very surprised to see them coming.
They all gathered around happily.
They all called me sister and brother-in-law.
I was especially surprised to see the bamboo brought by Cui Hejin.
Jiang Zhiluo explained, "This is the bamboo cut from Niushan Village. There's still a lot of it there, enough for Dad to make an umbrella."
Jiang Xiangchuan couldn't believe it. "There really is bamboo. Can it really be made into umbrellas now?"
Imagining making an umbrella with his own hands, Jiang Xiangchuan's eyes lit up brightly and a happy smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
His daughter found things for him to do, and he felt that what he did every day was meaningful, fulfilling and motivating.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Well, with bamboo, we can make umbrellas."
"Dad, with your umbrella-making skills, our family business will be good in the future."
"I'll teach my parents how to make an umbrella later."
Jiang Xiangchuan raised his eyes and said expectantly, "Okay, Dad will learn from you."
Jiang Zhiluo handed over two baskets of bread and said, "By the way, this is the bread I made. Give it to Dad, Mom, Brothers and Sisters to try. I just made it yesterday."
Ye said, "Look at you, you always take things home. You don't have to worry about us."
Ye always said this, but she felt happy and contented in her heart.
But Mrs. Ye thought that having a good daughter and son-in-law was more gratifying than eating delicious food.
"Mom, I made a lot, just in time for you to have a taste."
The whole family was amazed when they saw the appearance of the bread.
They had never seen this thing before.
But considering their daughter's abilities, they were not surprised.
Everyone took it out and tasted it, and they all praised it and said it was delicious.
The basket was placed on the table and Xuanxuan couldn't see it. Cui Hejin carefully picked up Xuanxuan so that he could see the appearance of all the bread in the basket.
His eyes widened in amazement, "So beautiful."
Cui Hejin wrapped one in clean gauze and handed it to Xuanxuan to eat.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Xuanxuan blinked his big eyes and looked at his brother-in-law. He liked his brother-in-law so much.
"Sister, the bread is so delicious."
“It’s delicious!”
"Ajie's cooking skills are amazing. We set up a stall to sell scallion pancakes at the market, and everyone said they were delicious."
Ye smiled and added, "Yes, the scallion pancake business is very good. I made five large pancakes and sold them all."
"At the beginning, we cut a lot of small pieces. Anyone who wants to buy can try it and then buy it. Everyone says it's delicious, and many people buy it."
"Including the scallion pancakes, straw raincoat, and straw sandals, our family earned over six hundred coins at the last market."
Jiang Yunmian said excitedly: "My second sister, mother and I counted the money several times after we came back. We were so happy counting the money."
Even Jiang Yunhua smiled more often. Seeing how happy they were, Jiang Zhiluo's mouth corners also turned up.
Everyone was talking and eating bread.
They all said it was delicious
Jiang Zhiluo said, "I plan to set up a stall to sell these breads."
Ye said, "This stall will definitely be a good business. Not to mention going to town, even if we sell it at the market, there will definitely be a lot of people buying it."
"Look at the dim sum stalls at our market. They're doing pretty good business. Even though some of the dim sum tastes average, there are still a lot of people buying them..."
"Look, when it comes to daily social interactions and entertaining guests, dim sum is the most important thing to show off..."
After chatting with her parents, younger brothers and sisters for a while, Jiang Zhiluo saw that it was almost time and was worried that Cui Hejin would be late for school, so she let him go first.
She took the initiative to speak so that Cui Hejin wouldn't be embarrassed to ask to leave in a hurry to go to school.
After Cui Hejin left, Jiang Zhiluo prepared to teach her father how to make an umbrella.
Jiang Yunshu and the others didn't bother to make raincoats. They put down the palm bark and came over to see how to make umbrellas.
Jiang Zhiluo will first explain how to make an umbrella so that everyone can understand the process.
Jiang Zhiluo even showed her father the detailed steps of making an umbrella that she had drawn earlier.
Jiang Yunshu and Jiang Yunzheng can both read, so they know the steps at a glance.
After understanding everything, start by picking bamboo and choose bamboo that is more than five years old.
Jiang Zhiluo only uses old bamboo that is more than five years old.
"First, remove the green bamboo, then carve the umbrella frame... This is a delicate job. It might be slow at first, but with time, it will become fast..."
"Then we'll make the skeleton..."
As Jiang Zhiluo spoke, everyone got busy.
With Jiang Zhiluo there to give guidance and explanations, and by referring to the drawings, everyone knew what to do.
Jiang Xiangchuan did it, and Jiang Yunshu and Jiang Yunfeng followed suit.
This way they can help their father on weekdays.
Xuanxuan is still young and can't help much, so he came over to help.
Jiang Zhiluo was worried that she would accidentally poke him while making the skeleton, so she asked him to sit in a safe place and play.
"Just sit down and eat the bread first. You are still young and can't do these things."
Xuanxuan is also very obedient.
He ate the bread in small bites, looking very satisfied.
Jiang Yunshu and Jiang Yunzheng helped with the steps of making the umbrella frame.
"Sister, is this thickness okay?"
"Polish it a little more."
"good."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "We can make some more frames so that we can use them when we make umbrellas later."
"The umbrellas are all the same size and dimensions, so once you're familiar with them, it'll be quicker to make them."
