Chapter 64 Advertising
Zhao Suying patted her arm and said, "Why are you so generous? You spent money to buy these materials, and you're just giving them away like that?"
"Isn't this advertising? If they find it good and want to buy it, I will then take it to the town or county to find someone to cooperate with, and let the villagers buy it. We can also make money, right?"
"Okay, I'll be there soon. You take a rest. Are you hungry? If you are hungry, I'll make you something to eat."
Li Wanyue shook her head: "I'm not hungry. Sandong and I have already eaten. You can ask my sister-in-law to help boil the pork fat."
"Okay, I'll tell her later. I'll take your clothes and ask Tieniu's wife to make them for you. She's good at sewing and has quick hands and feet. She'll make them for you as soon as possible."
Zhao Suying took the cloth and went out of the house.
Tie Niu’s house is not far away, just a few steps away.
Li Tieniu's wife Wang Qiu was washing locust flowers in the yard. When she saw Zhao Suying coming, she hurriedly greeted her, "Aunt Suying is here, come and sit down."
Zhao Suying waved her hand and said, "No, Madam Daya, Yueyue wants to make two sets of clothes. Your needlework is one of the best in our village. I just want to ask if you have time. If you have time, can you make two sets of clothes for me?"
Wang Qiu smiled and replied: "When I have time, don't be polite to me, auntie, do you have the size?"
Last time, Uncle Shan came to repay the money, but he gave brown sugar, oil residue and bamboo shoots. The two families have a good relationship, so it doesn't take much effort to just do it.
"Yes, it's written on this paper."
"Okay, then you bring the cloth and I'll cut it out later."
"Thank you, auntie, but she's not in a hurry to wear it. You can do your own things first and do it when you're free." Zhao Suying said, taking a handful of cloth strips and putting them on the table in the yard: "This cloth strip is a gift from the store. Use it to tie the hair of Daya and Erya."
Wang Qiu looked at the strips of cloth, his eyes widened, wow, these are all good materials, and he quickly thanked: "This material is really good, thank you auntie."
"Don't be polite. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back and get the cloth." Zhao Suying said, then turned and left.
Li Daya and Erya walked over and looked at the strips of cloth with shining eyes. They had never seen such fine material before.
"Mom, are you really going to use this kind of cloth to make hair flowers for us?"
"Yes, it will definitely look more beautiful when you wear it."
"That's great." The two children clapped their hands happily.
…
Li Wanyue slept for a while, and when she woke up, it was almost dusk. The setting sun was shrouded in mist and the mountains were illuminated in the evening.
She got up, drank some water, and walked into the yard. The fragrance from the kitchen filled the whole yard.
Zhao Suying saw her coming out and said, "All the shampoo has been given away. With the money given to your sister-in-law Tieniu and Uncle Cai and the others, there are only two buckets left."
Li Wanyue said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I bought some more herbs, I'll just boil it again."
She planned to use floral water this time, which should make it taste better.
"The food will be ready soon. If you are hungry, have a snack."
"Okay, I understand." After Li Wanyue said that, she went into the kitchen, poured a bowl of water and went to the woodshed. Li Sandong put the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the woodshed.
She untied the sack containing potatoes, dipped her fingers in water, poured some water on the potatoes, and covered them with straw. At this temperature, there was no need to use any other method. Just keep them moist and they would sprout naturally in a few days.
Sweet potatoes need to be stimulated to germinate separately. A part of the vegetable land behind the house is still empty. When the time comes, we will turn the land over and use that land to germinate the sweet potatoes.
After doing this, she called a few children out and asked them to sit in the classroom in the yard.
"Let's take this opportunity to have some lessons."
The children immediately perked up.
Li Wanyue said: "Let me check what I learned before."
After he finished speaking, the children had different expressions, some were full of confidence, while others immediately lowered their eyes in thought.
Li Wanyue asked: "Xiaotao, two times eight."
Xiao Tao stood up and answered, "It's sixteen."
"Very good, sit down."
"Xiao An, three times five."
"It's fifteen."
"Okay, sit down, Xiaokang, six times seven."
Li Kang stood up and whispered, "One seven equals seven, two seven equals four, three seven..."
Li Wanyue interrupted: "I'm asking what six times seven equals."
Li Kang looked embarrassed: "Aunt, wait a moment, I'll count it soon, one seven equals seven, two seven equals four..."
Li Wanyue: “…”
It is true that some children, when they first start to memorize multiplication formulas, can only do it in order. They cannot do it if the order is disrupted, and the more anxious they are, the more mistakes they make.
"It's equal to... forty-seven." He answered weakly, with his head hanging like a quail.
"It's forty-two."
Li Kang lowered his head even more, his face flushed. He thought his aunt would look down on him and think he was stupid.
"Xiaokang, raise your head."
Li Kang looked up at her.
Li Wanyue said in a gentle voice: "It doesn't matter if you forget the formula, and it doesn't matter if you make mistakes in calculations. This is because you are just starting to learn multiplication arithmetic, you have done few calculations, and you are not proficient in them. Just memorize and practice more.
If you encounter something you don’t understand, feel free to ask. Don’t feel embarrassed. If you don’t remember it and are afraid of being laughed at for being stupid, then you won’t ask. In the end, you will only be delayed.
Everyone is of different ages and has different abilities to accept knowledge, which will lead to different levels of knowledge mastery. This is normal. Don't feel inferior because of this, thinking that you are stupid and cannot compare to others. Everyone has their own strengths. You are quite familiar with the Three Character Classic, right?
I will check it again in a few days. I believe that after a few more days of memorization, you will be able to memorize it fluently. "
"I understand, aunt." Li Kang's emotions disappeared instantly and he nodded heavily.
Li Wanyue was talking here and didn't notice the half head sticking out from the top of the wall.
At the Zhou family, which was separated from the Li family by a wall, Zhou Muniu stood on tiptoe to listen to Li Wanyue's talk.
The Zhou family's wife came out of the house and saw him lying on the wall. She said unhappily, "You're starving like a ghost. How can you fill your stomach by lying on the wall and smelling the meat? You're clinging to me like this. I bought so many things but I didn't order any for you. I stewed the meat but I didn't give you any to eat. Didn't you see that the water in the jar was empty? Why don't you go and fetch some water? You're just being lazy."
Zhou Muniu's body stiffened, and he immediately walked to the kitchen and went out carrying the bucket of water.
"You are just a piece of wood, you don't have any vision at all." Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, turned around and saw Zhou Xiaomiao, stepped forward and pinched her: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and light the fire and cook?"
Zhou Erquan and Zhou Chen came back from outside the yard carrying buckets of water. They had been carrying water to water the fields all day.
Who knew that as soon as I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Zhou with her hand on the child.
Tears welled up in the child's eyes, but he didn't dare to cry out loud. I felt so heartbroken.
Mrs. Zhou Chen immediately put down her backpack and walked forward, pulling Zhou Xiaomiao behind her: "Mom, how old is Xiaomiao? What if she gets burned while cooking?"
Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, "Children of farm families all start cooking at the age of six or seven, why is she so precious? Besides, it's you who always want to be lazy. If you had finished your work in the fields earlier and came back to cook, would I let this money-loser cook?"
