Like a general returning from a victory, her mother Chen returned to her room, refreshed and high-minded, to make a school bag for Zhu Pingan, and when she entered the room, she intentionally gave her great-uncle and the fourth aunt a word. Zhu Pingan tethered the old yellow ox in the barn and hurriedly followed Chen into the room.
Outside the east room, the fourth aunt and the eldest aunt still don’t believe some of the sarcasm. What is there to study and not pay the bundle repair, must be swine child want to Mengxue lie, and the teacher is not teasing swine child play and so on. Obviously, all are not able to eat grapes sour grapes, they can not get the hope that other people can not get, so that they will be psychologically balanced.
Chen went back to her room, she was a little worried, the book bag himself will not do ah. In this era, the students of the schoolbag are wooden or bamboo portable box, in order to highlight the grade, in the material and workmanship on some. This is all carpentry work ah, Chen promised in the yard about being overwhelmed by joy.
“That, swine child, the book bag will be made for you when your father comes, your father is good at woodworking.” Chen snapped.
Zhu Pingan sniffed and rolled his eyes, after carrying a school bag for more than ten years in the modern era, he had long been used to using a cloth bag, who still used a wooden one, it was so heavy.
So, Zhu Pingan stretched out his hand and gestured, his mouth saying, “The wooden one is too heavy, I want to use a cloth one, just any cloth will do. Just use a piece of cloth that is so flat, sew it up, it can hold things, and then sew me a strap on both sides so that I can hang it around my neck.”
Chen was also accustomed to doing needlework, and understood under Zhu Pingan’s gesture.
“You stinky son will just instruct my mother.” Chen’s mouth scolded angrily, but her face was with a smile as she flipped a piece of burlap from the cabinet, scissors moving in all directions, flying needles and threads.
Soon, a school bag in Chen’s hands took shape, the shape of this school bag with the modern ** decade of the school bag almost a model, but there are some differences, there is no extra pattern pattern, the style also looks more simple and generous. The bag is not big, Zhu Pingan tried to hang diagonally on the shoulder is just right, the length and width of the bag is just right, does not appear to be large, the space is also just right, enough to Zhu Pingan in the future to put the book inside and ink, paper and ink.
“Thank you, Mother.” Zhu Pingan carried the school bag and looked at Chen’s face as she had just been hurt by the
rushing to work and accidentally stabbing her thumb, was very touched.
Chen didn’t have a good temper, “Just don’t be angry with me.”
After a while, the Zhu family members came back one after another. First is the grandfather back hand first into the door, hand also weighed his dry tobacco pole, heard the grandmother told him Zhu Pingan by the teacher fancy free income monks school, grandfather the whole person with drink high like, excited old face red, even three good words, good good good.
Followed by the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle is all drunk, staggering to come, enter the door, the first sentence is, I’m out drinking with friends, dinner will not have to call me, finished the fourth uncle staggered into the room, but also hit the door of the room. The first thing you can tell is that you’ve had too much to drink. And outside to fool around, the four aunts despite the anger but still hurried to follow up to support, take the opportunity to pinch the four uncle a few times to send down the gas.
Grandfather saw the situation angry hate to go up to kick him two feet, mouth even cursed, “this no good goods.”
Grandmother did not comply, tugging at grandfather to prevent him from kicking the youngest, on behalf of the fourth uncle said, “Men, which do not socialize outside, which is also clear that our oldest four good friends.”
“What friends, are a group of unprofessional friends, you just know to spoil him!” Grandfather was furious enough to criticize grandmother.
Father Zhu Shouyi and elder brother Zhu Pingchuan are the last to come, both of them are carrying backpacks, and today they went into the mountains again.
“Ya, second brother came into the mountains.”
The fourth aunt who was supposed to be in the house serving the fourth uncle was like a wolf that had smelled blood and rushed out with a wail, which made Chen’s face, who had just taken a step out of the east room, darken.
Zhu father’s basket is quite a lot of things, two live rabbits, a pheasant, and a lot of bamboo shoots and mushrooms, a lot of, the fourth aunt’s eyebrows are smiling, can see meat and fish again. Zhu Pingchuan’s back basket, also a lot of things, but they are all wildflowers, this makes the fourth aunt a little unhappy, how come Dachuan is also infected by swine children, picking so many wildflowers for what.
“I want it.” Zhu Pingan came out with his short legs and solved the fourth aunt’s doubts.
Grandmother and Fourth Aunt were not fond of wildflowers, and just like last time, they put everything else away and tossed the basket of wildflowers to Zhu Pingan who was off to the side.
Zhu Pingan surrounded the basket full of wildflowers and smiled like a
like a fool.
Great Auntie was on the other side of the room, saying, “If you’re so happy with wildflowers, you’re a fool, you’re just learning, but you can’t be compared to our Jun’er”.
When Zhu father and elder brother heard that Zhu Pingan was selected by Sun old scholar for free schooling, they were overjoyed, and Zhu father was even happier when he grabbed Zhu Pingan with both hands and danced in the air a few times, almost throwing Zhu Pingan into the air.
“Mother, people’s husband is free, we can’t just go like this. I think, why don’t I send some of this pheasant and some of the mountain mushrooms and wild game I picked from the mountains to other people’s old showman Sun tomorrow to taste the freshness.” After Zhu Shouyi put down Zhu Pingan, he discussed with his grandmother.
Grandmother’s face was reluctant, and before the words of refusal could be uttered, grandfather on this side spoke up.
“This is the reasoning, Lao Er’s right, these mountain mushrooms and wild game are worth a few dollars, give them to others to take with them.” Grandfather said in a row.
“How can we use so much?” Grandmother was not happy.
“What do you know as a woman!” Grandfather interrupted with a black face, “Listen to me, go tomorrow and bring them all.”
The evening meal was naturally harmonious, grandfather unprecedentedly drank more than two glasses, some drunken feeling.
“If only this cloth could be used to make new clothes for the swine’s son, it’s all your fault for spending money recklessly and not being able to spend it in the right places.”
After dinner, in the east room, Chen looked at the pink cotton cloth on a white background on the bed and began to complain about Father Zhu.
Zhu father naturally said yes again and again, a black face full of smiles.
Outside the window big brother Dachuan is helping Zhu Pingan to beat the water to take a bath, tomorrow to pay homage to the teacher Mengxue, can be a good wash. Ancient rituals or major events, beforehand to bathe, change clothes, live alone, abstain from their appetites, to show sincerity and respect of the heart, these activities are called fasting. Montessori does not need to be so complicated, but bathing can not be omitted, do as the Romans do not.
“Oh yes, there’s a blue cotton sheet that I came with my dowry, you hurry up and turn it out for me, I’ll rush a new outfit for the swine.” Chen, who was complaining about Zhu’s father, suddenly thought of it, and immediately urged Zhu’s father to go rummage through the cupboards to find that bed sheet with a smile on her face.
“That is your dowry …….” Zhu father was coy.
“What do you know, I’m happy.” Chen kicked Zhu’s father hard and urged him repeatedly, “You hurry.”
