If I could weave a sleeping bag, all the sleepyheads in Xiushui would disappear.
She got the grass her father had gathered earlier and started making it while thinking about what the sleeping bag would look like.
Before yesterday, she could only drool while watching the old man weaving.
After a night, she now knows how to get around these things without having to think too much.
The picture designed in my mind gradually takes shape in my hands.
In the end, it was woven into a long sleeping bag.
There are a few buttons woven on it. When the time comes, use a stick to put it on the tree, and then tie the tree bag to the stick with a knot.
"Grandma, let me try and see if I can sleep soundly like this."
Although it was my first time weaving a sleeping bag, the straw weaving was still very dense.
People can go inside and sleep without taking off their clothes and still not feel cold.
When I was getting in, it was a bit difficult to pull my whole body in.
"Granny, it's so comfortable rocking like this. It feels a bit like a lazy rocking bed in the wild.
But if we want to braid it again, we have to divide it into two parts. Weave it from the middle, leaving a few ropes.
People can get in, tie it up, and then rock out and have a good sleep."
Wen Bibo also looked at this thing excitedly. To be honest, sleeping on the damp ground is definitely not good for the body.
It would be great if I could sleep in a sleeping bag and fall asleep just by rocking around at night.
"However, when it's cold, you can also consider stuffing some soft grass or leaves around the edges.
This kind of sleeping bag has a warming effect. See if you can gather some soft grass and leaves.
When we knit, each of us will knit two sleeping bags. One for sleeping now, and one for keeping warm."
Xiushui tried the remaining grass to see if she could collect some softer grass.
Don't mention it, this collection technique is like having a built-in choice.
She just thought of something softer, and her hand automatically picked out the soft grass.
There are many trees and grasses around. I looked around and found several kinds of tree leaves. These leaves can keep you warm when you stuff them in, and they won't make your skin itchy.
"Nana, the gathering technique not only makes the food more delicious, but it can also gather the herbs I want.
This knitting technique is even more amazing. I just thought about knitting a sleeping bag today, but I actually knitted what I wanted right away."
"My dear granddaughter, I really have to count on you for my happiness in the second half of my life, hehe..."
Xiushui was also grinning, and was laughing happily when Wen Sunan stood up.
He was off duty last night, so he had to get up early in the morning and try to convert the car into a wheelbarrow.
After all, a wheelbarrow is more practical for pushing things or children on mountain roads.
"Mom, Xiushui, what are you two talking about? You didn't react even when I made a noise."
The two were shocked. They were the ones on duty. If they didn't have this little bit of vigilance, what would they do if something happened in the future?
Xiushui turned her head and smiled apologetically.
"Dad, we were watching the front the whole time. We didn't care because you were sleeping in the back.
But you also reminded us today that we need to be more careful in the future, lest the enemy attacks us from behind and we are foolishly unaware."
You can't be careless when fleeing from famine. One mistake could cost you your life.
After saying that, she showed him the sleeping bag she had worked so hard to make last night.
"Dad, look, this is the sleeping bag I made. From now on, our family can sleep in the tree. Look, tie it up like this, and people sleeping on it will feel like silkworm pupae."
Wen Sunan was shocked when he heard it. He took it, tied the sleeping bag on it, and got in to experience it again.
When he came out again, he looked at his daughter excitedly.
"Xiushui, did you really make this up? What were you thinking to come up with something like this?
Well, with this thing, we will be safe whenever we sleep on a tree in the wild forest.
However, it’s best to find some snake-proofing. I’m afraid there might be a snake in the middle of the night.”
The old lady was not happy. "Then you can sleep on the ground so there are no snakes. Sleeping in a tree is better than on the ground anyway!"
No matter what, we at Xiushui have never made anything before, but to come up with something like this late at night is the best.”
Wen Sunan also knew that he had said the wrong thing. He scratched his head and looked at his daughter with an apologetic smile.
After holding it in for a long time, I finally managed to say some words of praise.
"My daughter is really amazing. Even at such a young age, she can come up with something so easy to sleep with.
Dad, I think I can knit well, but I'm not as smart as my daughter, who is great."
Only after he praised his granddaughter in this way did the old lady smile again.
"That's right, your daughter has obviously done something remarkable, yet you have to find fault with her.
Good children are praised, not picked out.
But you are a good father, otherwise you wouldn’t have given birth to a child as smart as Xiushui.”
Xiushui glanced at the complacent old lady:
Old lady, you are trying to brag about yourself in disguise, saying that it is because of your good roots that you can give birth to a bunch of filial sons and grandsons. Tsk, grandma is still so hypocritical!
