Chapter 121 The taciturn person can also hit people!
Xu Qianqian regretted stopping Jiang Yuwei at this moment. No, she regretted her decision to bring Master Xu back to the village to show off. Now she just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it with Master Xu:
"Master Xu, don't listen to her nonsense. I suddenly remembered that my parents are going back to my grandma's house today. Let's go back to town first. Next time, next time, I will bring you to meet my parents."
After saying that, Xu Qianqian pulled Master Xu's arm and was about to leave. Master Xu was already furious, and he flicked his sleeves and shook Xu Qianqian's hand away:
"I can go back by myself. As for you? Just stay in your Ningjia Village!"
Seeing that Master Xu seemed to be serious, Xu Qianqian did not dare to delay for a moment. She just turned around and glared at Jiang Yuwei fiercely, then ran to catch up with Master Xu, pulling his sleeve and begging him to forgive her.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the two people walking away and smiled:
"The old man ran pretty fast. Wait, Xu Qianqian called him Master Xu? As far as I know, the only wealthy family with the surname Xu in Ping'an Town is the Xu family. So who is this Master Xu?"
Jiang Yuwei just felt a little strange, but she didn't want to bother thinking about Xu Qianqian's bad things. The farther away from such a person, the better. It would be bad if she got involved with her. Jiang Yuwei shook her head helplessly and walked towards her own yard.
When Jiang Yuwei returned home, she saw that everyone in the family had already eaten dinner. Ning Huaizhi was holding Ning Wan in the yard, looking at the stars and waiting for Jiang Yuwei to come home.
Seeing Jiang Yuwei coming back, Ning Wan quickly jumped off Ning Huaizhi's legs, ran into Jiang Yuwei's arms, and called out sweetly:
"Mother, Wan'er wants to sleep with you tonight!"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and stretched out a hand to gently scratch Ning Wan's nose lovingly:
"Okay, okay, you stay with mom tonight. Mom will take you to take a bath first, and then we'll go to bed."
Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei's back as she hugged Ning Wan, a smile on his face. Days like this were really good. Thinking about how he had fought desperately on the battlefield all those years, all he got in return were scars all over his body and a pair of crippled legs. Perhaps this warm little home now was the reward from God for him.
next day
Jiang Yuwei got up early. Last night, she suddenly thought of printing grids on her own Yuwei paper to use as practice paper. She immediately found a suitable wooden board in the yard and gave it to Ning Huaizhi:
"Huaizhi, I remember the hairpin you carved for me last time was very beautiful. I'll give you a drawing. Can you carve the pattern onto this wood according to the drawing?"
Ning Huaizhi nodded:
"let me try."
Jiang Yuwei took out the blueprint from the house and explained it to Ning Huaizhi, then went to find a suitable block of wood to be used as a handle for the rubbing board.
If this attempt is successful, there will be many different types of paper that can be made in the future, and the paper can even be bound into books.
Jiang Yuwei had just finished arranging things here and was about to make breakfast when she heard Aunt Zhou's loud voice outside the yard:
"Yuwei, are you home? I brought you some freshly picked vegetables, please try them."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and took the basket from Aunt Zhou:
"Aunt Zhou, you went to the garden to pick vegetables so early? Have you had breakfast?"
Aunt Zhou waved her hand and said:
"We are old people, we don't sleep much, we don't have the habit of eating breakfast, we just have two meals a day, I'm not in a hurry, I'll go home and cook later, hey, have you heard?"
Jiang Yuwei asked curiously while washing vegetables:
"Ah, what's the matter?"
Aunt Zhou moved closer to Jiang Yuwei, found a bench and sat down directly:
"Didn't Grandma Sun hold her funeral yesterday? I heard that Grandma Sun's sister, Aunt Liu, went to her house and made a scene, asking for dowry money. Isn't that nonsense? How much dowry money can we peasants get when we get married? Besides, everyone in our village knows what kind of life Grandma Sun's family lives. Even if there was dowry money, it would have been spent long ago."
Jiang Yuwei nodded:
"I know about this. Grandma Sun had her funeral yesterday and I went to see her off."
Aunt Zhou clapped her hands and continued:
"Oh, that's not the main point. Don't you know that everyone left after dinner yesterday, but that old lady Liu still refused to leave and insisted on looking for Grandma Sun's dowry? Let me tell you, even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry. Don't you know how big a commotion there was last night? Liu, maybe she was forced into a corner. She was usually so incompetent that she actually fought with that old lady Liu. After all, Liu is several decades younger than that old lady Liu. If they really started fighting, wouldn't Liu be able to easily beat that mere old lady Liu?"
Jiang Yuwei frowned and asked:
"So, what happened next? What happened next?"
Aunt Zhou patted her thigh and laughed:
"Don't be anxious. I'm telling you, don't be fooled by Liu's quiet and silent nature. She's actually a tough and ruthless character. I heard from the neighbors that Liu hit the head of the old lady with a broom until it bled! When the neighbors came out to see, the old lady had already been thrown out of the yard by Liu. When someone came forward to call her, she raised her head with a bloody face, and scared everyone back several steps!"
Jiang Yuwei couldn't help laughing after hearing what Aunt Zhou said:
"Hahaha, well done! After Liu's commotion, that Sixth Granny will probably avoid Ningjia Village whenever she sees it in the future!"
Aunt Zhou also laughed and said:
"That's right, isn't it? I heard that the Sixth Wife was so scared that she ran back to Sun Village overnight!"
After Aunt Zhou finished speaking, she stood up and put the stool back to its original place, picked up her own vegetable basket and said to Jiang Yuwei:
"Yuwei, you are busy, I will go back to cook first."
Jiang Yuwei nodded, sent Aunt Zhou away, and went back to prepare the food.
After the family had finished their meal, Ning Wan went out to cut grass for the pigs, Ning Daya went to the paper mill in the back to help with the work, and Jiang Yuwei also went to the backyard:
"Ning Wu, how much of this paper is left to be made?"
Ning Wu looked at the order and checked the quantity again before speaking:
"Sister Yuwei, I just checked and all the papers on the reservation form have been prepared."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:
"Ning Wu, make all the gold powder I brought back first. Daya, go to that flower field today and pick more flowers to dry. There should always be flowers drying on the drying rack. You have worked hard these past few days. When you are done with the Liu family affairs in a few days, you can come and help."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei looked at Tiezhu who was still boiling paper pulp and said:
"Tiezhu, please make more Yuwei paper these days. I'm going to take out some and turn it into practice paper. I don't know how effective it will be by then. Just make more as a backup. By the way, is the mulberry bark I collected recently enough?"
