After reading my mind, I took off

After Ji Xiangjian has scraped all the sweet sorghum ears clean, he will select the thinnest stems to make small brooms.

"Old woman, either put a bunch of them in large bunches. Put them here and sweep them."

Although Ji Xiangjian didn't want to work, since he had already started, he was reluctant to waste it. In the past, he could sell a reed broom for more than ten yuan.

The music was playing fine, what was the old man talking about! Zhu Defen frowned, "Do you think this is the mud floor in the village or the cement floor in the community? You're still sweeping it, and you've scratched the wooden floor!"

"Work!"

Ji Xiangjian felt so innocent. Why should people who work hard be scolded by people who hold their phones and do nothing?

hum~

All you could hear was him snorting, then he lowered his head and decided not to talk to Zhu Defen that day.

His rough, cracked hands deftly moved between the red lines and the reed stalks.

As soon as Zhu Defen saw that he was working so hard, she knew that he was going to start a cold war again. Ha, free labor without talking, how great it is. "Go on, make a small one first, I'll give it to Mr. Kang tomorrow."

The palm-sized broom has the good meaning of sweeping away bad luck, eliminating disasters and praying for blessings. In Feng County, all newborn babies will carry a small broom with them whenever they go out.

But wouldn’t a small broom alone seem a bit monotonous, Zhu Defen thought.

Got it. She used wool to crochet a small persimmon, which means "May your wishes come true", and then asked Zhenzhen to write "Make a fortune every day" in calligraphy. A perfect match!

Zhu Defen did it as soon as she thought of it. She immediately went back to her room to find tools.

Crochet

Orange wool

Green wool~

All right!

Oh, and reading glasses! Cotton - where's the cotton? Zhu Defen put the materials she had found on the table, and then began to search through the boxes and cabinets. Finally, after searching in vain, she took apart a pillow.

To Kang Yu, Zhu Defen can really be regarded as a true fan.

Finally, Zhu Defen, who had prepared all the ingredients, came to the living room with a basket. After instructing Ji Zhen, she sat opposite Ji Xiangjian and started to pick persimmons.

Ji Zhen thought about the task assigned by his grandmother. Since it was calligraphy, he would use seal script to express his best wishes to Mr. Kang - to make a fortune.

The first person to complete the task was Ji Zhen. The background color was a small red card with a few strands of gold floating on it. The seal script "日进斗金" was written in golden ink. Although the font was not as brilliant as those of famous calligraphers, it was round and cute, very similar to his image.

Zhu Defen's hands were like dancing butterflies. She could create many things with just a crochet needle. She was about to finish her persimmon. "Zhenzhen, seal it with glue after writing. This way the paper won't get wrinkled or damaged."

“Let it dry, let it dry and then use glue.”

Zhu Defen warned worriedly, and she looked up at the progress on the opposite side.

Oh, still not as good as her!!

Making brooms has always been a very tiring job. Ji Xiangjian is old now, so his strength is naturally not as good as before, so his progress in making brooms is even slower than before.

At this point he had just finished selecting the poles for tying brooms. He carefully smoothed out the knots on the poles. Then came the most technically demanding stage. He needed to put the selected poles together and tie them all up tightly. He used red thread to tighten them circle by circle until the gaps between the poles disappeared completely.

Before Ji Xiangjian retired, he could only make three small brooms a day.
