Chapter 11

Xue Yang is carving something in his hand. He looks at him with a line of vision. He looks up at Zhang Man'er curiously.

"Third sister-in-law, do you want a hairpin? If you want, I'll make one for you, too. "

On one side of the small table, there are several small wooden hairpins. The style is exquisite, and the surface is smooth. This little brother-in-law's craftsmanship is good.

She thought of something to make money: "Xue Yang, what else can you do with hairpin and comb?"

"Just these two things. Every time I go to the market, I will sell them and save a little money."

"Just these two things, it's too monotonous. You can make some beads, wooden pendants, wooden cups, wooden bowls, wooden toys, many styles, you can set up a stall."

Zhang Man'er recalled that there are so many functions of modern wood, only unexpected and impossible.

Maybe it was a skill to make money in ancient times?

"Third sister-in-law, can wood make so many things?" Xue Yang's dark eyes were suspicious.

"Of course." Zhang Man'er took a small section of wood and drew several pictures of wooden pendants, including the statue of Avalokitesvara and the zodiac.

Xue Yang called in secret“ Third sister-in-law, the patterns you drew are really beautiful, just like they are real. "

"It's not difficult to draw like this, but can you carve? If so, the wood will become valuable. "

"Yes, on weekdays, I'll carve portraits. Wait, sister-in-law. I'll go back and show you." Xue Yang said that he rushed back to the house in a hurry and took out his wooden box, which contained a lot of things, such as Trojan horse, windmill, etc.

I can see that Xue Yang's craftsmanship is really good. Since he has craftsmanship, why hide it? It's a way to earn money.

"Not bad, Xue Yang. I'll draw some drawings for you, and you can make them according to them." Zhang Man'er said.

Since the Xue family is now eating a big pot of rice, she naturally hopes that everyone has the skills to make a living, otherwise Xue Chuan alone will not be tired to death.

"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law." Xue Yang shows his white teeth and smiles brightly. He has seen that wood has so many functions. Isn't this third sister-in-law simple?

Not only good-looking, but also painting, but also smart.

Two people are saying this, see Li Chunxiang knock melon seeds, while spit slowly came over.

Seeing Xue Yang working as a carpenter and Zhang Man'er helping, I can't help but feel funny.

"Xue Yang, tell me if you are stupid. You play with these things every day." Li Chunxiang said, squatting down, came over, picked up a small wooden comb and said, "a wooden comb only costs a few Wen. It took you a long time to make it interesting?"

"I'd love to." Xue Yang spat on her face.

The second sister-in-law is lazy and has a broken tongue. She knows all day long that she steals food and drink at home. She doesn't earn money, doesn't say anything and owes money. Xue Yang doesn't like her very much.

"Xue Yang, the second sister-in-law is from here. I'll tell you, Lao Wang's daughter is the only child, but they let it out. If anyone marries their daughter, they can give her the dowry freely, and bring her a rich dowry. Xue Yang, if you marry her, you don't have to work hard to make these crappy things. "

Such a good thing? Zhang Man'er felt cheated and said with a little interest, "second sister-in-law, tell me, how is the daughter of the Wang family?"

Usually Xue Yang talks with Zhang Man'er. Li Chunxiang knows that. If Zhang Man'er is a lobbyist with her, maybe the little brother-in-law will agree?

"The daughter of the Wang family is a rich family in our village. She is sixteen this year..."

Before Li Chunxiang finished, Xue Yang interrupted impatiently: "I would rather die poor than marry the daughter of the Wang family."

A fat man of more than 200 kg loves to eat and has a bad smell all over his body. Which one's head is broken and he has married such a Buddha?

For the sake of the rich dowry, who is willing to marry, anyway, Xue Yang is not willing.

"Hi, Xue Yang, why don't you know what to do? Do you know that mother-in-law is worried about it? "

Xue Yang covered his ears and didn't want to listen. Then he remembered that Ming was going to the market and said, "second sister-in-law, don't talk about it. Let's go to the market in the town tomorrow? The eggs at home and the vegetables in the field have to be sold. Let the second brother get up early tomorrow and go to the field to cut vegetables. "

As soon as he heard about going to the town, Zhang Man'er's eyes brightened. If he wanted to get the first pot of gold, he had to go to the town to see what inspiration he had.

"Xue Yang, shall we all go to the town tomorrow?"

Xue Yang took a look at her, and his tone was not as cold as Li Chunxiang: "yes, third sister-in-law. On general market days, my second sister-in-law and I are going to the market, so third sister-in-law should go with us. More people, more things. "

Li Chunxiang rolled her eyes: "what can she do? Don't pestle there like wood, and sell more things. I'm afraid it's more steamed stuffed buns, isn't it? "

"Like the second sister-in-law, it really costs money to have one appetite for two."

Xue Yang retorted and waved his hand to Zhang Man'er: "second sister-in-law, come here and have a look. These are the wooden combs and hairpins I've made these days. Today I'll try to make some pendants, and tomorrow I'll try them in town."

Zhang Man'er follows Xue Yang into the hall and looks at the pile of wooden combs and hairpins he takes out.

Rough calculation, there are more than a dozen combs, wooden hairpins are also more than a dozen, but the style of wooden comb is simple, without patterns, how can this work?

She immediately suggested: "Xue Yang, these wooden combs are too monotonous, so you can take out a few and add some patterns on the surface, such as carving some lotus, Begonia and plum flowers."

"Ah? We also need to carve flowers. Aren't they all wooden combs? If you can comb it, you can do it with that effort. " Xue Yang scratched his head.

"Xue Yang, believe it or not."

"The letter." Xue Yang began to adore Zhang Man'er when he was stunned by the carvings he had just mentioned.

"You pick five and carve some patterns. You'll know tomorrow."

"Well, it's just five. It doesn't take much effort." Xue Yang said with a smile.

Zhang Man'er turned over his finished product and grinned: "Xue Yang, you have a good craft. You'll have a good life in the future. You'll save some daughter-in-law books and marry someone you like."

Xue Yang nodded. He thought it was reasonable.

Zhang Man'er is looking forward to tomorrow. Let's get to know about it first and see what can make a fortune.

Looking at the pile of wooden combs and hairpins, Xue Yang's craftsmanship is needless to say. He only needs to work hard on the delicacy. Otherwise, it's hard and worthless to make these combs.

These wooden things take a lot of manual work and hurt his hands. Looking at his hands full of cocoons, Zhang Man'er thinks that this little uncle is good. He is very progressive and hard-working. He is better than the broken mouth second brother.

As we are going to the market tomorrow, all the houses went to bed early after dinner that night.

The next day, when the cock crowed for the first time and the window was still gray and bright, something happened to the Xue family.
