Chapter 376 He Mi's Other Skills

After returning, Li Hongxia was similar to Sun Yong, but she did not have any disputes with her roommates. She simply introduced each other and said hello to her acquaintances after putting away her luggage.

Li Hongxia's first stop after leaving the Youth Academy was Hao Hongmin's house. Here she learned about Han Li and Yun Yingying's marriage. She also learned that Shanghe Village had opened a sales outlet. In the future, general daily necessities can be bought without leaving the village. The Yun sisters are the sales agents of the sales outlet. There are also some interesting things that happened in the village during this period.

Then Li Hongxia visited Wu Lili's home again, and finally went to the sales outlet to congratulate and laugh and give the gift money to Yun Yingying.

Although the sisters knew that Han Li did not like the north room to be messy, otherwise he would not drag people to the health room to drink again and again, but at this time they had to separate one person to go home to prepare things.

On the way back from the sales outlet, Yun Jingjing met He Mi and Qi Zhaodi carrying a spinning wheel, and Hou Yuhua holding a lot of spinning cones. The three of them were walking back.

"Sister He, did you borrow the spinning wheel? But we haven't found the cotton for you yet."

"This spinning wheel is so hard to borrow. If the piglet hadn't come back recently and everyone was preparing for the spring, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to borrow it. Today, Aunt Zhao finally agreed. I should move back first. I have exchanged some cotton from the villagers. I'll just spin as much as I can to kill time for the last few days. But why did you come back so early?"

(The spinning wheel is the first and most important process for turning cotton into cotton thread. From cotton to cotton cloth, it generally needs to go through the steps of rolling, reeling, spinning, and weaving. The tool for spinning is the spinning wheel. At this time, almost every household has a spinning wheel, but in this place, the spinning wheel is not only a tool for spinning, but also one of the most entertaining things to kill time during the long winter season.)

As for why He Mi wants to borrow the spinning wheel, it starts with the four unique skills of Big T Wife.

The four unique skills of Big T Wife are: unique fabrics, unique craftsmanship, unique craftsmanship, and unique.

1. Fabrics are unique: Most of the Datong wives wear clothes woven by themselves using special techniques. Even if they are ugly coarse cloth clothes, they will be very comfortable to wear after they are processed by themselves. Moreover, the more they are washed, the softer and more comfortable they are to wear.

2. Craftsmanship is unique: In the past, many of the Datong wives were daughters from various officials and wealthy merchants. In addition to playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, some of them are good at making cheongsams, some are good at making thousand-layer soles, and some are good at making cotton-padded jackets. After many people communicate with each other, they have integrated their respective skills together, thus forming a unique Datong wife craft.

3. Craftsmanship is unique: The reason for the formation is the same as the second one. Some of the daughters of the big families are good at embroidery, some are good at weaving, some are good at paper cutting, and some are good at buttoning. In short, a variety of crafts are gathered together. They use these crafts on fabrics, and then form various exquisite costumes.

4. It seems to be called unspeakable, there is no allusion, and those who understand it will understand it.

And He Mi's grandmother used to be the instructor of Datong wives' piano and painting. In her spare time, she basically mastered all these skills and later passed them on to her.

Since He Mi followed Han Li, she wanted to make some comfortable, low-key and inconspicuous clothes for her man.

But she wanted to give Han Li a surprise, so she secretly borrowed the spinning wheel and exchanged cotton.

.

After listening to He Mi's question, Yun Jingjing reluctantly told him about Li Hongxia's return to make up for the gift. He Mi thought about it and said.

"You have been setting up the banquet for two consecutive days. If you set up the banquet again today, it will be a bit weird. Otherwise, let's set up the banquet at my house tonight. Changing the place can also shut up some people."

After He Mi said this, Yun Jingjing agreed immediately.

Because what He Mi said was indeed reasonable, and the relationship between the two families was the best among the educated youth, there was no need to be too polite or refuse to do such a small thing.

Then Yun Jingjing went home and talked to Han Li, and the two of them went to He Mi with the ingredients.

But Han Li had nothing to do next. He went back to the clinic to study medical books. When it was time for dinner, someone would come to call him. He just needed to say hello and eat.

When Han Li was called to eat by Yun Yingying, he saw Li Hongxia in He Mi's room.

At this time, Li Hongxia's face was unusually ruddy and shiny, as if a thin layer of rouge and snow cream was applied on her face.

This made Han Li stunned for a moment, but then he returned to normal immediately.

Everyone greeted each other and congratulated each other.

Han Li sat aside and chatted with everyone while waiting for dinner, thinking about Li Hongxia's abnormal look.

Finally, he found the relevant symptoms in the "Yuyitang Records". When a woman's face often showed unusual ruddy and shiny, and her expression and appearance were different from before, this was a manifestation of the woman's pregnancy and blood filling.

Han Li secretly looked at Li Hongxia a few more times, and her current appearance was more and more consistent with the records in the book.

However, if he wanted to confirm whether Li Hongxia was pregnant, he could only feel her pulse.

Han Li then shook his head secretly. Maybe Li Hongxia was hiding this intentionally.

After all, after pregnancy, her period would stop visiting relatives, and some women would also experience symptoms such as bloating, nausea and vomiting, and increased urination. It was impossible for her not to know about the changes in her body.

Li Hongxia didn't tell anyone because she wasn't married yet or for other reasons. If she revealed it at this time, she would be offending others, so Han Li put the matter behind him.

From the time Han Li entered the house to when he was eating, everyone was listening to Li Hongxia talk about the situation with her partner.

At first she only talked about how wonderful it was there, with its basketball court, table tennis table, reading room, and large and small canteens.

But others didn't want to just listen to her show off, so they started asking about other situations, and then Li Hongxia talked about some things over there.

There are also new educated youths joining them every year, but they are from the same place every time, unlike people like them who go to the countryside to join the queue.

For example: in the first half of this year, the dozen or so people who came here are all from Lu City, in the second half of the year, there may be a dozen or so people from the Forty-Nine Cities, and those who come after that are from Chuncheng in the North Country and northern Shaanxi.

Therefore, there is a natural closeness between the fellows there. The same living habits and accents make fellows in the same city spontaneously get closer.

She also talked about a lot of local people's habits and personalities. For example: The educated youth in Lu City there are arrogant and always look down on others, etc.

Hao Hongmin felt bitter and arrogant when she heard this. What a long-lasting word this is, since...

Li Hongxia also said that the educated youth in Sijiu City were the most united. As long as someone said someone was beating one of their own, they would rush forward with their horses and benches in hand.

After saying this, he glanced at Han Li and Sister Yun, but the three of them just smiled and did not respond.

How do you say this? Could it be said that this is the hutong culture unique to Sijiu City?

The children who come out of the alleys of Sijiucheng have always closed the door and solved their internal conflicts by themselves.

But if outsiders bully us, we must all join together and not let our own people be bullied by outsiders.

This situation has become more and more obvious after the cultural conflict with the compound in the past few years. Sometimes there are several or even a dozen children from alleys nearby acting together.

Then Li Hongxia also talked about the working situation there. Although there are various agricultural machinery, people are paid, and the treatment is good, the salary is not that easy to get.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, his partner had to go up the mountain to cut down trees and build river ditches, and he didn't stop until the 28th of the New Year.

Then Li Hongxia started talking about the food and entertainment during the New Year there. Although no one was happy to hear this, it was not easy to interrupt her again.

.

The weather is getting better and better. Although there is still a long time before I can take off my cotton-padded jacket, it is much better than it was a while ago.

On this sunny day, Han Li was still sitting in the clinic reading a book, and while he was letting his eyes rest, he processed some medicinal materials for "Stretching Pain Relief Cream" and "Skin Rejuvenation Cream".

Or just hold an enamel cup in your hand and sit lazily in the sun, looking like you're retiring early.

After basking in the sun for a while, Han Li picked up the cup in his hand and took a sip of tea. He felt as if he had forgotten something.

After the two old educated youths from the Educated Youth Academy came back, they actually had some disputes with the new educated youths over the matter of raising pigs.

First of all, the pig pen occupies a large piece of vegetable land, and there are also problems such as stench and maggot flies in the future.

But now that the pig pen has been set up and the piglets have been raised, it is too late for them to say anything and they can only complain in their mouths.

Although Sun Yong was extremely reluctant in his heart, he did not dare to undermine the decision made above.

With the idea of ​​​​joining if he couldn't beat him, he discussed with Li Hongxia and each of them paid part of the money to join the pig raising ranks of the Educated Youth Institute.

Zhang Yaozu has also been looking for the team leader recently to ask when he can build a house for him.

After all, Zhang Xiangjun had already said that his partner would come this year, and he wanted to build the house before spring plowing.

It's a pity that the adobe bricks in the village have been used up by the original few educated youths, and no one takes off those things in the winter.

Not to mention the wood, Chengcai had almost used it when building a bathroom for Han Li last time, and the remaining few frames couldn't be built.

The captain said that as long as Zhang Yaozu could find the materials, he would organize people to help him build a house.

At this time, Zhang Yaozu, the leader of the nearby Zhonghe Village who often came to see Han Li, turned around and headed towards the clinic.

"Brother Han, are you busy? If not, please do Goose a favor."

Han Li was basking in the sun with an enamel cup in his arms, looking at Zhang Yaozu and saying lazily.

"Why are you being polite to me? If you have anything to do, just tell me."

Zhang Yaozu talked about the situation he was encountering when he wanted to build a house, and finally said that he wanted him to go to Zhonghe Village to help ask if he could exchange some materials for building a house.

"It's only March in the Gregorian calendar now. It seems like we can't lay a foundation if the ground hasn't thawed. It's definitely not possible to build an adobe house. If you want to build it, I'm afraid you can only build a wooden house. The cost may be a bit high. Otherwise, you can wait a little longer. We can save a lot of money by waiting for the ground to thaw. Anyway, Xiangjun’s target won’t come until June or July, so it’s quite late.”

"Hey, I heard this from the uncles in the village, but they said that April and May every year are the most people repairing and building houses. I am afraid that I will have no materials by then, so I want to trouble Brother Han to help find someone from Zhonghe Village. Let’s ask around. If they have adobes there, go ahead and reserve them to save yourself from not being able to find anything later.”

"Okay, let's go to Zhonghe Village together."

Han Li closed the door, went to the agency to say hello to the two sisters, and took Zhang Yaozu to Zhonghe Village.

Coincidentally, at this time, Ren Liangshan's distant brother, Ren Dagang's father, was sitting on the kang in his house. The two of them sat there smoking silently.
