I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Shitou stammered, "It's okay to have white hair, but she's also slutty, short, and full of desire..."

Ji Xiaobei tasted the taste and slapped Shi Tou on the head with a bang: "You little rascal, what are you thinking about? Can you be serious?"

Teacher Haixia's face was white with a hint of red, red with a hint of purple, and purple with a hint of black. It was colorful and full of surprise.

This is not how my teacher taught me when I was studying!

Shitou, he has become a bad person...

Hey! Haixia was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Haixia, explain to them the meaning of these two lines of poetry."

Teacher Haixia straightened his spine: "My white hair is getting shorter and shorter, and I can't even hold it with a hairpin..."

Xiaohua opened her bright eyes and asked, "Like my hair, which is too short to hold a hairpin?"

"Yes, but the poet is worried because you are born with insufficient hair volume!" Ji Xiaobei said as he touched her sparse and fuzzy hair.

"You little brat, why are you wandering around in the yard instead of following Teacher Haixia's class?"

Lin came over with a lunch basket and started cursing when she saw Shi Tou.

Shitou felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry. He really couldn't stay in that environment in the house. It was so embarrassing.

"Stand outside and don't eat in the morning!"

After Lin finished speaking, she angrily sent the meal to them in the cabin.

After the handicraft shop opened, Lin prepared meals in the morning and delivered them to the shop.

After eating, Haixia continued to read, while the others worked in the ancestral hall.

Fu Jichang went to find Haixia Niang with half of his sleeve in his hand.

"Mrs. Ma, could you please take some time to help me sew my sleeves?" said Fu Jichang.

Haixia Niang raised her face from the drawings, her brows twisted tighter than a knot.

"If you don't have time today, you can sew it tomorrow..." Fu Jichang said quickly, not wanting to delay Madam Ma's work.

"My son, please show me this pattern. I think something is wrong with the shoulder and cuffs!"

Fu Jichang leaned over to look seriously, pointed his finger and asked, "Auntie, is this the place?"

"No, it's here!" Haixia Niang suddenly realized that she had asked the wrong person. What did a grown man know?

"Hahaha, my boy, you're sewing clothes, right? I'll go choose the right thread! Oh my, did you guys get into a fight or something? The clothes are torn like this... Take them off quickly!"

Fu Jichang obediently took off his coat, handed it to Haixia Niang, and tilted his head to look at the patterns on the kang.

"Auntie, where do these patterns come from?"

“The boss brought it, it should be a fancy way of selling it from the merchants in the county!”

Haixia Niang sewed it up in just a few seconds, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see any traces of sewing.

"Auntie, you are such a great sewing expert!" Fu Jichang praised sincerely.

Ji Xiaobei was shouting outside: "Aunt, everyone is here, it's time to start class..."

Haixia Niang stuffed the clothes into Fu Jichang's hands and hurried out.

Fu Jichang also followed him out. After all, it was not convenient for outsiders to stay in the garment factory for long.

Two large stone tables were built in the Black Tower a few days ago, and they are now coming in handy.

Those learning to sew gathered around a big table, and Madam Ma was teaching them.

The other table was for those learning embroidery. Ji Xiaobei gave them some simple embroidery work to watch, and those who didn’t understand asked Ma Xiaoqi.

Ma Xiaoqi, wearing a new dress made of fine cloth, sat upright and answered the questions in a serious and orderly manner.

"Xiao Qi, did you really embroider this?" a young wife asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I embroidered all these patterns!" Xiao Qi answered honestly.

"My goodness, have you ever learned in the embroidery room?"

Xiao Qi shook his head: "I learned it from my mother!"

The group of young wives looked at Ma Niangzi differently, with admiration and respect.

After Ma Niangzi finished explaining to them, she came over to explain the embroidery techniques to the embroiderer, and Ma Xiaoqi demonstrated them.

Everyone listened attentively, afraid to miss a word.

"Xiao Qi, show it to your sister-in-law, is this right?"

"Qi, is this the needle technique your mother just taught you?"

……

As it was approaching noon, the weather started to get hot. The embroiderers and seamstresses studied diligently under the sun, and no one went home early.

Outside the ancestral hall, an old woman who couldn't wait came in with her child in her arms, and the child was crying.

Ji Xiaobei brought out a large basin of malted milk water and asked them to drink.

"Xiaobei, what kind of water is this? It tastes so good!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, “I bought it last time when I went to the county. It quenches my thirst!”

The whole basin was drunk up, and the embroiderers and seamstresses walked away burping and looking satisfied.

The boss doesn’t charge for teaching and even gives us sweet water to drink. He is so nice!

The women looked at Ji Xiaobei with sparkling eyes.

Just as Ji Xiaobei was about to go home for dinner, he saw a young boy running towards him.

"Sister Xiaobei, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"

The child's face was covered in dirt. Ji Xiaobei looked at him for several times before he realized that it was Shitou's good friend Tieliang.

"What's wrong, Tieliang?"

"Ji Lizheng asked me to come find you. There was an accident while digging a well! Someone fell in and can't get out..." Tieliang said in tears.

Ji Xiaobei didn't have time to ask more questions and turned around and ran towards the river.

I have been so busy these days that I haven't had time to go and see the excitement of well digging.

Before I even got there, I heard a man crying...

Ji Xiaobei: The well digger was a master hired from outside. He should have rich experience. How could something go wrong?

Several people were lying on the ground in a one-meter-square well, looking inside. There were two men sitting next to them, pretending to cry...

"Li Zheng, what's going on?"

"The rope broke, and I fell, I fell down!"

Ji Lizheng had a pale, expressionless face and spoke tremblingly.

There were a lot of people gathered around the well, and people kept running over from the village.

"Village head, this is so unlucky! The well hasn't been dug yet and their people fell in first. How can they drink the water?" Ji Ergou leaned over and said.

Ji Lizheng glared at him, looked at Ji Xiaobei and asked: "Bei, you have a lot of ideas, help grandpa and think of a solution!"

Ji Xiaobei glanced at the mouth of the well and thought to himself: How can I save him? Looking at the mouth of the well, I can’t even get down with my body size.

Ji Xiaobei leaned over and took a look at the wellhead, and a cool breeze blew towards his face.

"The water is out. The kid went down to fetch mud, but he didn't expect the rope to break..."

Next to it was a broken hemp rope and several baskets of mud and sand, all in tatters and looking terrible.

Such a deep well, there is a serious lack of oxygen, and people will die if left there for a long time...

No matter how the people at the well shouted, there was no sound from inside, and the two men began to howl again!

The villagers surrounded them in three layers inside and outside.

Ji Xiaobei pulled the village chief aside and asked, "Why didn't those two men go down to rescue people?"

The head of the village shook his head and said, "I couldn't get down. I was too big. I got halfway down and was pulled up again!"

"We have to find someone thinner to go down!" said Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Lizheng shook his head and said, "No, it's too dangerous. Who would let their child take this risk?"
