"I definitely don't know him."
"That's right. No one in our village knows about medicinal herbs except Doctor Chen and Xiaoyu."
"Dad, how about Xiao Lei and I go to the mountains tomorrow? There are so many valuable things in the mountains, we can't waste them, we should make the best use of them. We can earn some money so that we can spend the winter."
"Don't even think about it. If your mother finds out, she'll skin me alive."
Zhao Xiaoyu: "Don't come on, can your mother control you?"
"Don't you know I listen to her now?"
"Dad, there are so many treasures in the mountains. Aren't you tempted?"
How could I not be tempted? But no matter how tempted I am, I cannot let my child take risks.
"We are not short of money. We can buy whatever you want in the county or prefecture. There is no need to take risks yourself."
Well, I'll just have to figure it out later.
After dinner, she went to her room to play flying chess. She thought that her sister and Chunmiao would definitely like this brainless little toy, and maybe her mother would be interested too. If not, she could still play a few games with Lihua to pass the time.
Flying chess does not require any technical skills. It is just a matter of carving small circles and then painting them with different colors.
She drew the chessboard on a piece of coarse brown cloth. There was no cardboard here. Paper that was too thin would tear after just two games, which would be a waste of paper.
"Lihua, mother, come here, I will teach you how to play Feiqi."
Dice are simple, just draw different numbers on the six sides.
"Sister, what is this flying chess?" The little girl stared at the new toy in Zhao Xiaoyu's hand without blinking.
"Girl, what have you done?"
Well, a family of four can just make up a chess game. "Come on, let's play a game together and you'll understand."
After playing just one game, Zhao Dashu threw away the dice. How could his daughter come up with such a stupid game? There are no fun cards yet. Zhao Xiaoyu wasn't very interested in it either, and even disliked it as a way to kill time.
Song and Lihua were having a lot of fun, and they took the chess pieces back to their room to play slowly.
Zhao Xiaoyu asked someone to pluck a handful of rooster feathers, cut a piece of cloth, and used needle and thread to sew a circle along the edge of the copper coin. He then pulled the cloth tight to wrap the copper coin, lit a candle, and applied a layer of candle wax on the rooster feathers. He then wrapped a dozen chicken feathers together, wrapped the hemp rope around the roots for a dozen times, and finally tied a knot. The needle tip came out from the base of the cloth shuttlecock, and he wrapped the hemp rope around the roots of the feathers seven or eight times, and the shuttlecock was ready.
Zhao Xiaoyu stood up and kicked a few times. The weight was just right and it went very smoothly.
Then he asked Aunt Wu at home to help him carve a long, thin bamboo stick with a pointed end, so that he could play the game of pitching pots.
Zhao Xiaoyu took the shuttlecock in her hand and asked them to make a few more according to her instructions. As for whether the chicken feathers at home would be cold in winter without them, she didn't care. If it was really too cold, they could just stew them in the pot.
Clapping her hands, "Lihua, I made you a new toy."
In the next few days, she made tangrams and gobang, and sewed two rabbit pillows and a Pikachu pillow. The pillow was drawn by her and embroidered by someone else. It was stuffed with cotton and felt soft when she hugged it, which made the little girl very happy.
I hold you in my arms and never let go when I go to sleep at night.
Zhao Dashu was asked by the teacher to study, saying that he had missed some lessons while away and this was the perfect time to make up for it. He, who had originally planned to play cards with his brothers for entertainment, was in tears. Without him, his brothers either gathered together to play cards or drink every day, which made him envious.
After watching his father play a few times, Zhao Jianwu also imitated him and made one himself. The younger one goes to your house to hang out for a day, and the younger one comes to my house to play for a day. He lives a more comfortable life than the adults.
Zhao Xiaoyu was so immersed in making toys that she couldn't help herself. She made Gobang, a swing, and even asked a carpenter to help her customize a slide. She wanted to build a playground for her little sister in the house so that she could play as she pleased during the winter.
The happy days are just a few days away. When she turns six, we will find a female teacher to teach her how to read, draw, and play the piano... We will see what she likes and continue to study it in depth. If she doesn't like it, we will just give up.
After returning home, Yang devoted herself to her children. In just half a month, the two children had gained baby fat.
"Boss, our kids are so cute. Look at the ones that are coming out recently, they are so chubby."
"Hmm," Xiao Ping's mouth twitched slightly. He ate a lot of meat and fish and drank brown sugar water every day. He could eat and get fat if he were in his place. Recently, I have spent nearly two taels of silver on food alone, and this does not include eggs and vegetables for my own family. I also killed two chickens.
"Family, how much silver do we have now?"
"What do you mean? Do you think that the child is eating well and it's costing you money? Xiao Ping, you have no conscience..."
"Can you stop arguing? Can you talk properly? Ever since those two came down from the mountain, don't you feel like you've gone insane?"
"I don't think so. I just feel that I treated them unfairly in the past."
