Chapter 45: Step 2: Make some money

Shutting the door and turning to enter the house, Lin Qingwan was still full of indignation.
Pouting, came to sit down on the edge of the kang.
Yang Tiezhu took her hand and coaxed: "Daughter-in-law, don't get angry, it's not worth getting angry with people like sister-in-law."
Lin Qingwan glared at her irritably and said, "Why are you all the best in your house? Don't you see the poor eat a piece of meat? You lie in the hospital and no one asks you whether you live or die. After finally coming back, I will cook a soup for you. Some people are still thinking about it."
Yang Tiezhu smiled bitterly.
"Why do you feed it to her? I didn't see her accepting my personal feelings when it was given to her. I didn't come when I was helping, but when I was eating meat, I wanted it quickly. It's really annoying.
Yang Tiezhu hurriedly coaxed: "Yes, yes, we won't give her food, her saliva is so greedy."
Lin Qingwan was suddenly amused by his words, and in a blink of an eye the unhappiness brought by Wang was thrown out of the clouds.
"You lie down for a while, I'll wash it, go to the town, and come back with ashes. It's really uncomfortable."
Lin Qingwan put on thick clothes after coming out of the shower. Sitting under the lamp with her hair draped, ready to do embroidery work.
She took out the purse she picked up at Jinxiu Workshop in the morning and embroidered, thinking about the ruler she bought in the morning.
She bought the ruler head, indeed, as Shopkeeper Su thought, it was intended to be used for large-scale embroidery, but she hadn't thought about embroidering yet.
In fact, Lin Qingwan probably has some thoughts about embroidering, but she hasn't made up her mind yet.
During the period of working at Jinxiufang, Lin Qingwan dug up many good things from the memory of the original owner every time she took out her purse embroidery.
The original owner, Lin Qingwan, is not only good at embroidering, but also learned a lesson that is not passed on, that is, the master of Su Embroidery, who taught her embroiders, is a master of "double-sided embroidery".
In general, few people will teach this kind of craftsmanship that is not spread. But Liu's family paid a lot of money to invite this embroidery master to do it for her double-sided embroidery. I want Lin Qinglan to learn this craft, and later I will add some capital to myself. Who knows that Lin Qinglan is impetuous and can't sit still. She didn't learn anything, but Lin Qingwan, who had been sitting next to her, had learned 80 to 90%.
No one knows this, only the people who teach them embroidery.
However, this embroiderer is very quiet, and has never mentioned it to Liu and Lin Qinglan, so Liu didn't know that the master he had paid a lot of money had not become his daughter, but Lin Qingwan was cheaper. The original owner, Lin Qingwan, was originally a little transparent at home, and didn't like to talk or show off, so he didn't say it.
The Liu family saw that Lin Qinglan couldn't learn how to force Lin Qinglan to learn, so they had to dismiss all the embroidery artists to find another way. This matter has since fallen into the long river of history.
Only Lin Qingwan's elder brother Lin Qingting knows some clues, because Lin Qingwan once embroidered a belt for him with double-sided embroidery. Lin Qingting's love is like a treasure, and he must be with him every day. Because only one side of the belt is exposed, no one can see that this belt is actually one and two sides.
Lin Qingwan planned to embroider a double-sided Kang screen embroidered this time, although she is not sure how much a double-sided Kang screen is worth. But just looking at the way Liu Clan desperately wants Lin Qinglan to learn, he also knows that this craft is of great value.
It was quiet outside, and she embroidered her purse while thinking about the problem, and more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye.
Yang Tiezhu, who has been watching his daughter-in-law embroider the purse, has seen her embroidering for so long, not only his neck is sore, but he guessed that his wife's neck is also sore. Moreover, the oil lamps lit in the room at night were not very bright, so I took a lot of attention, and quickly called Lin Qingwan to stop embroidering her tomorrow.
Lin Qingwan twisted her stiff neck, put down the purse in her hand, collected her things, and was ready to go to bed on the kang.
While sleeping on the kang, she was still designing the patterns she wanted to embroider and some complicated details in her heart.
When I got up the next morning, Lin Qingwan went to the kitchen and brought her and Yang Tiezhu’s breakfast back to the house.
Because the day she and Yang Tiezhu came back from the hospital, Grandpa Yang spoke. After Lin Qingwan doesn't have to cook at home, she just needs to take good care of Yang Tiezhu. So, for now, Lin Qingwan does not need to do housework. Just take care of Yang Tiezhu, turn on a small stove for him, and wash the clothes of the two people.
After eating breakfast, Lin Qingwan washed the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen and returned, and started to embroider her double-sided embroidery.
She is going to embroider a Kang screen. The objects are not too big and it doesn't take much time. After getting the water in the Fairview Workshop, she will see if she wants to embroider large ones.
She bought the embroidery frame yesterday, came back to wipe it, and placed it under the window.
Lin Qingwan cut out the ruler and stretched it on the embroidery frame. She didn't paint flowers, and to the point where she could embroider double-sided embroidery, she could treat the flowers as nothing.
To put it another way, if you can only embroider by drawing a good flower, then you can't learn double-sided embroidery at all. Because the double-sided embroidery has different patterns on the front and back sides, all of them are completed at the same time in one stitch down and up, so the pattern has no effect at this time.
Therefore, embroidering double-sided embroidery particularly requires people to concentrate and not be distracted, because if one is not good, all previous efforts must be reworked, which will be very troublesome.
Lin Qingwan stretched the bottom fabric and took out the embroidery thread and began to thread the needle. The embroidery thread was bought at Jinxiufang. Good silk embroidery thread, and it has been divided into stocks. One embroidery thread is one strand, and one embroidery thread is divided into two strands to make one velvet. If one embroidery thread can be divided into 12 strands, it is one silk. The finer the thread, the more refined and smooth the embroidery.
The kind of embroidery thread Lin Qingwan bought was the one with one thread, and the price was many times higher than ordinary embroidery thread. It cost her a couple of silver to buy these embroidery threads, which is slightly more expensive than that piece of ruler.
Lin Qingwan's movement of piercing the needle is very slow. This is her personal habit. Through these slow movements, she slowly empties her mind, so as to completely empty her brain.
After threading the needle and drawing the thread, Lin Qingwan sat down in front of the embroidery frame and slowly punctured the first stitch.
After piercing the first needle, it can be seen that although Lin Qingwan's needle is not fast, she is very firm. It seems that you don't need to think about where the needle should be inserted and what needle method to use. All the needle patterns are in the chest.
She stopped embroidering until almost noon, and the breath that she held on her chest could finally relax.
Before doing it, Lin Qingwan always worried that she could not embroider well, after all, these were not what she knew. After the needle was placed, she realized that many things were carved deep in her soul.
This state is very strange, as if she is Lin Qingwan, Lin Qingwan knows things, she may not be proficient at first, but after familiarity, the feeling will come out naturally.
It wasn't until this time that Lin Qingwan really relieved her heart. She believed that she would finish this embroidery perfectly, and she no longer had the anxiety and hesitation in her heart.
"Daughter-in-law, get tired, come over and have a drink."
Yang Tiezhu, who was lying on the kang, finally dared to speak when he saw his wife relax her shoulders. Maybe he doesn't understand embroidery, but the attitude and posture of the daughter-in-law sitting in front of the embroidery frame tells him the concentration and concentration of her daughter-in-law, so he dare not interrupt.
Lin Qingwan stood up, shook her neck and twisted her shoulders, walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water. After drinking, he poured another glass for Yang Tiezhu and brought it over.
After drinking the water, Yang Tiezhu said, "Daughter-in-law, what are you embroidering, so hard?"
Lin Qingwan smiled, she couldn't tell her mood. "Embroidery good things, after embroidering, take it to the embroidery shop to sell, see if you can sell it at a good price."
Yang Tiezhu knew that his daughter-in-law had taken a job at the embroidery workshop and went home to do it. He felt distressed and hated his injured left shoulder.
If he is fine, there is no need for his wife to be so tired every day.
Looking at her man's expression, Lin Qingwan knew what he was thinking, and she couldn't help but comforted her: "Anyway, I'm idle and I'm idle. It's good to make some money to supplement it."
Yang Tiezhu thought for a while and felt that it was the truth, so he was not struggling with this issue. But he still did not forget to tell Lin Qingwan not to be too tired, and not to embroider for too long at a time so as not to hurt his eyes.
Lin Qingwan certainly understands this principle. Deep in the memory of the original owner, she knows that there are many women who are full-time embroidering women. They lose their eyes after middle age. It is caused by long-term eye fatigue, so she usually pays attention to eye care. , Embroider things for a while, then take a break and look into the distance to do the eye exercises that I did when I went to school in my last life.
She rested for a while, then went to heat the pig’s trotters soup left over from last night on the stove, because there were no side dishes in it, she went to wash some lotus roots, chopped them and threw them in, and this time added some soybeans in it. .
Because today is Yao's cooking, Lin Qingwan stewed the pig's trotters soup and was about to go and beat Yao's hands. By the way, the two of them could talk.
Entering the stove, Yao is cooking.
Seeing Lin Qingwan coming in, Yao Shi smiled at her and said that she would wait for a while before the meal was ready.
Lin Qingwan yelled at her and said, is it possible that I came to the kitchen to eat?
Yao Shi laughed again, knowing that Lin Qingwan was here to beat her. Just give her the location of the stove and let her help her set the fire.
Yao's cooking on the stove, Lin Qingwan sat next to her and helped her set the fire, and the two chatted with each other.
Lin Qingwan glanced at the gruel that was being cooked in the pot, and couldn't help but wonderingly asked, "Why does the family eat gruel at noon?"
Yao was silent for a while and said, "This is how my mother-in-law gave me the ingredients today." After a pause, she added: "The mother-in-law said that she will make gruel at home for a while. There is no farm work anyway. You don’t need to eat so well."
Lin Qingwan was silent.
Yao's cover the pot and let the gruel boil slowly in the pot.
The wotou had already been steamed. Yao moved a small stool and sat next to Lin Qingwan, and the two of them were fascinated by the fire.
"How did Yang Xuezhang get the 50 taels of silver?"
When he was in the hospital, Yang Tiezhu discussed with her two people that the money He held in his hand should be enough to pay Yang Tiezhu for the exam. Maybe others didn't know the money in He's hand, but he still knew how much money Yang Tiezhu gave to He. According to Yang Tiezhu, He should have no less than 50 taels of silver.
Yao took the fire-making stick and poked the stove to make the fire in the stove where the porridge was cooked smaller.
"The mother-in-law only had thirty taels of silver in her hand. We and the eldest brother and sister-in-law gave two taels each, and my father sold some of the food at home before we made up enough."
No wonder let the family drink porridge every day!
Lin Qingwan rolled her eyes secretly in her heart.
"The mother-in-law asked the eldest sister to go home, saying that it is not good for the married daughter to stay in her natal house."
Actually want to save food!
I have to say that Lin Qingwan is the truth.
"Then the relationship is good, everyone will relax in the future." Lin Qingwan said with a smile.
In fact, she has wronged Sister Yang. Since the last time Lin Qingwan slapped Sister Yang in the face, Sister Yang has restrained a lot. She seldom interrupts at home, but she still stays at her natal family.
Lin Qingwan didn't know much about Sister Yang's in-laws, but she knew that her in-laws were very poor and had a good family background. Later, her mother-in-law was bed-ridden for a long time, which gradually brought down the family.
The two were saying this, and the voice of the He family greeted Yang Xuezhang outside.
"Study Zhang, you are back. How are you doing it?"
Lin Qingwan and Yao Shi looked out of the kitchen room, and saw Yang Xuezhang walking towards the main room with a smile on his face, looking complacent.
The two looked at each other, then turned to look at the stove. For Yang Xuezhang, the younger uncle, the two of them who are sister-in-laws are really not good at commenting.
Lin Qingwan really hopes that Yang Xuezhang can pass the exam this time, no matter if he cheated to buy exam questions or just rely on his own real ability. After all, the Yang family put all their efforts into the money for him to buy the exam questions, and Yang Tiezhu was even injured because of this.
If Yang Xuezhang can pass the entrance examination, the Yang family will be much better, and then they will be better off when they separate.
Yes, separate families.
After Yang Tiezhu was injured, this idea began to take root in Lin Qingwan's heart after seeing the various behaviors of the Yang family. It's just that she hasn't mentioned it to Yang Tiezhu. Lin Qingwan knows that even if the Yang family treats Yang Tiezhu so mercilessly, he is just chilling and angry but has never thought of separating the family.
This idea is not foolishness and filial piety, but a kind of shackles on people's hearts by the dogma of this era. Parents are here, regardless of family. The word filial piety takes the lead, and children who are children cannot take the initiative to propose a separation from their parents. They don't have the consciousness that they can take the initiative to separate from their parents, even if their parents are harsh on them.
So this matter can only be explained slowly, Lin Qingwan is not in a hurry to think about it immediately, she knows that this matter is not in a hurry.
After helping Yao to prepare lunch, Lin Qingwan returned to the house with her share. She didn't go to the main room to show her face. The main room seemed to be used to Lin Qingwan's behavior in the past two days, and she didn't say much. Everyone's attention was focused on Yang Xuezhang, who came back from the academy.
"Fourth brother, this is a certainty, first congratulations." Wang said flatly.
"Fourth old brother, I will count on you when I eat in the future." Yang Tieshuan's attitude was still so daunting, but what he said really made Yang Xuezhang feel very comfortable.
I have to say that the Dafang couple are also very smart, they know that they can't fight Yang Xuezhang's position in the hearts of the old couple at home. Therefore, whenever they encounter something related to Yang Xuezhang, they will be silent if they can be silent, and if they can be with the mud, they will be with the mud.
So even if the He family took out all the money from the family this time to buy exam questions for Yang Xuezhang, the family also sold food to collect money. The two of them just had a bad look on their faces, but they didn't say anything, because all kinds of history have shown that even if they strongly oppose it, they are useless in the end.
Of course, when it was time to fawn, the two of them did not hesitate to flatter themselves.
After all, flattering doesn't need money, as long as the upper and lower lips touch it, it will come out. When it is time to apply the light, the light cannot be used less.
You can say that these two people are shameless, but you can't say that they have done something wrong. After all, everyone's attitude towards survival is different.
He was also full of smiles, and even the old man Yang, who had been calm for this period of time, showed a rare smile.
There are so many things that have been pressing on Old Yang's heart recently, and he almost can't breathe. Yang Xuezhang's handling of the examination questions is nothing less than a thing that makes people happy.
The three-bedroom couple was still eating their own food in silence. The two of them were honest in their nature and would not go to camp. It was even more difficult for them to say something nice. And they didn't want to get involved in Yang Xuezhangguang, after all, regardless of whether the fourth child passed the exam, they still had to continue to live through their lives. It's impossible because Yang Xuezhang passed the exam, or failed.
I have to say that everyone has their own intelligence. The cleverness of the three-room couple is that they don't think that they are not their own things. Without hope, naturally there is no disappointment...
Elder Yang even took out a jar of wine he had been reluctant to drink, and drank two large bowls. After drinking, he blushed and patted Yang Xuezhang on the shoulder, then fell asleep.
These days, he hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. The thing about Yang Tiezhu, the thing about Yang Xuezhang buying the exam questions... etc., all pressed on his heart, making him almost breathless. I only hope that the fourth child can be successful this time, so that everything can pass...
Yang Xuezhang was also very happy. Since he was a child, he felt that he was different from the other brothers in the family. When several brothers were helping the family in the field, he was studying in the school, from the private school in the village to the college in the town. Not a genius with the best qualifications, but one of the most favorite students in the hearts of masters. He has always been smug and contented...
Until the first time he took the county exam, he didn't pass the exam... the second time he ended the exam, he still didn't pass the exam... the third time... he gradually felt that the eyes of the people around him looked strange, including the family members. From the very beginning, the admiration and pride became doubts and even contempt...
It's been a long time since Mr. Yang encouraged him to slap him on the shoulder. There is also the respect and flattery of the older brother and sister...
Yang Xuezhang flushed with excitement, and was drunk without drinking. He could almost see the picture of him after he was selected as a talent, everyone looked at him with admiration, and he dismissed them...
The couple in the second room didn't know everything that happened in the main room, and Lin Qingwan just closed the door and lived her little life.
It was Yao who had nothing to do and chatted with her a few words before she knew that Yang Xuezhang had obtained the exam questions and was working hard to prepare for the exam, because it was not a few days before the county exam.
These days, Lin Qingwan had a very pleasant time. Every day, he opened a small stove for Yang Tiezhu, and then embroidered his double-sided embroidery. After eating and sitting like this, within a few days of sitting and sleeping, Lin Qingwan felt that she had gained a lot of weight.
Yang Tiezhu's complexion also improved a lot when Lin Qingwan changed his method to make up for him. You can even sit up with your own strength, and you can take two steps slowly. In the past, Yang Tiezhu was able to walk down two steps, and it was only possible for others to support him.
But you can only take a few steps, and you have to be very careful, because Yang Tiezhu's left shoulder and arms can't be used.
Lin Qingwan rarely let him get out of bed by himself, because the old doctor said it is better to lie still.
The second room in the middle has also been remodeled, and the mason is here to settle the bill. Lin Qingwan's project here is relatively simple. He only paid more than 300 yuan for the bricks, and the masons paid a tael or two for the second room.
Then Lin Qingwan went to the hot set, which opened on the 5th. She just wanted to buy some chicken and duck meat to replenish Yang Tiezhu's body. There is a small market, so there is no need to travel so far to the town.
It was Yao's who accompanied her, and the two of them took a slot that was not Yao's cooking and went to the market.
Lin Qingwan bought some big pig bones back. Yang Tiezhu injured his muscles and bones. It would be nice to add more calcium. Incidentally, she bought another 20 kilograms of fat meat and asked the pork seller to cut it into pieces and wrap it up, and bought another basket of eggs.
The Yao family was surprised that Lin Qingwan bought so many things. Even though the weather is getting cold now, two people in the second room can't finish buying so many things.
Lin Qingwan then told Yao that she bought these things to pay back the favor. Of course, it's not just to pay back the favor, but she didn't have the Yao family to elaborate.
That day, she went up the mountain to find Yang Tiezhu's offspring. She had long wanted to visit the house one by one to pay respects, and she hadn't had time to spare these days. There is also Li Zheng's family, who borrowed a mule cart from someone else's family, and their son waited with them for so long. Don't mention anything to thank you, if you have something in the future, who is willing to come out to help you.
