On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

If you want to make a good toothbrush, the most important part is the brush head. If there is no tool to drill holes, the brush head will have uneven distribution, which is definitely not acceptable!

After hearing Song Xile's question, Chen Yunshan immediately went to the utility room and got a drill.

Seeing the drilling tool, Song Xile used the carving knife in his hand to make a row of marks on the brush head.

She handed the marked bamboo handle to the other person and said, "Just drill holes where I marked them!"

Chen Yunshan took the bamboo handle handed over by Song Xile, then aimed the drill bit at the marked hole, then held the wooden block firmly with one hand, and gently pulled the other wooden handle with the other hand. As the wooden handle was pulled, the drill bit began to rotate slowly and drilled into the bamboo handle little by little.

With the help of tools, the holes on the bamboo handle were drilled quickly!

"Sister-in-law, do you think this is okay?"

Song Xile took it and nodded, "Okay, the rest is just drilling like this!"

Since there was only one drilling tool, the others continued to carve the wooden handle. About half an hour later, the sisters-in-law brought the children back from digging wild vegetables on the mountain!

Seeing them cutting bamboo in the yard, Qian walked over curiously and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I'm not sure either. I heard Xile say that this is going to be used to make a toothbrush, a tool used to dip tooth powder in cleaning teeth! Don't you know that this thing can be used to make money?" Cao said excitedly to her daughter-in-law.

When the two daughters-in-law heard that it could be sold for money, they all said that they could help!

Song Xile smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. You can prepare some thread first, and wait for the uncle to come back with the pig bristles, and then ask for your help!"

Cao also waved her hand and said, "It's done. Just follow Xile's instructions and prepare. Go back to your rooms and find some needles and thread."

The two sisters-in-law did not dare to delay and went back to their rooms to prepare!

After they worked for a while, Patriarch Chen came striding over with a cloth bag in his hand!

When Cao saw her husband coming back, she immediately went to greet him and asked, "How's it going? Did you find the pig bristles?"

Patriarch Chen happily handed the cloth bag to his wife, "It's all here!"

Cao opened the bag and took a look. She said with disdain, "There's blood in the fur. This is too dirty!"

Song Xile stepped forward to take a look and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. First, put the bristles in clean water, then soak them in salt water to remove the odor. After soaking for half a day, start making the brush head!"

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law immediately started to wash. Song Xile took a handful of washed pig bristles and demonstrated to them with the brush head while telling them how to sew.

Several of them had all done needlework before, so after a detailed explanation, they quickly understood!

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll go back first. Let the bristles soak for a while, otherwise the odor will be hard to remove. I'll come back later!"

Cao tried her best to keep Song Xile and asked her to stay at home for dinner!

Song Xile declined, saying, "Thank you, auntie. Yun You is still waiting for me at home!" After that, he said goodbye to everyone and went home.

As soon as Song Xile entered her courtyard, she smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen. She walked straight to the kitchen and saw her husband sitting in the stove making a fire.

He held a book in his left hand and put firewood into the kitchen with his right hand from time to time. Song Xile couldn't help laughing when he saw this!

"The food will be ready when I get back, why are you still reading and making fire?"

Hearing his wife's voice, Chen Yunyou withdrew his gaze from the book. He looked at his wife with a smile, "I'm free anyway, so I found a book on water conservancy to read. It can be considered a break from my busy schedule!"

Song Xile smiled and said, "Are you worried about the drought this year?"

Chen Yun nodded, then shook his head. "Our land is low-lying, and it is easy to accumulate water during the rainy season. I thought if we could dig some large reservoirs, we could store water during floods and irrigate during droughts. Then the people wouldn't have to rely on the weather for food!"

Song Xile knew what her husband was thinking, but such a large reservoir could not be dug just like that.

The amount of manpower and material resources involved is incalculable. Given Nanyun County's current strength, it is obviously not very realistic to carry out large-scale water conservancy projects!

Obviously, County Magistrate Zhou does not have the capital to do this!

She thought for a while and said, "I understand your idea, but given Lord Zhou's current situation, it shouldn't be easy to dig a large reservoir in one go!"

"Too much is as bad as too little. But even if we can't build a large reservoir, at least small reservoirs, river cleaning, and canal construction should not be a problem!"

Chen Yunyou nodded and stopped talking about this topic. He closed the book and asked, "Is the toothbrush production going smoothly?"

Song Xile nodded with a smile on his face, "Okay, I'll go take a look later!"

Chen Yunyou stood up and walked to the stove, poured a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to his wife, "Okay, let's eat first and see how it tastes!"

Song Xile took the fragrant chicken soup, blew away the steaming hot air, and took a sip. The chicken soup was rich and tasted very delicious!

Song Xile's eyes sparkled, and he sighed with satisfaction, "It tastes good!"

Chen Yunyou saw his wife's satisfied look and a smile appeared in his eyes!

For lunch, in addition to chicken soup, Chen Yunyou also made his wife's favorite fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots, and Song Xile was very satisfied with the meal.

She felt that Yun You’s cooking was better than hers. It was really strange. They used the same steps, so why was Yun You’s fried bamboo shoots with bacon more appetizing than hers?

Just as she was enjoying her meal, Chen Yunyou suddenly asked, "Xile, why do I feel like the food at home is getting more and more?"

Song Xile was so frightened by her husband's sudden words that she choked and coughed!

Seeing this, Chen Yunyou immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, helped his wife calm down, and asked in a gentle tone: "What happened?"

Song Xile finally managed to even out her breath. She waved her hands and said guiltily, "You were busy with the county exam a few days ago, so I didn't tell you. I was worried that the price of grain in the city would rise too fast, so I bought a lot more and kept them at home!"

Chen Yunyou suddenly realized, "So that's why I was wondering why we don't have too much food!"

"But I think the rice this time looks pretty good, better than the ones I bought before!"

Song Xile concentrated on drinking soup and didn't respond!

She is such a clever little girl. A few days ago, she exchanged a lot of food from the mall and mixed it in.

Well, the only difference I can tell is that the quality of the rice in the mall is so much better!

In order to avoid being exposed, she will choose some rice of lower quality next time!
