Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 23 Going to Yunge's House to Shear Sheep

While eating, everyone talked about their expectations for toothbrushes.

Jiang Ci: "We'll work on it for another day tomorrow, and then go to town the day after tomorrow to sell these and see how they sell."

Lin Shan affirmed, "Okay, make more tomorrow, this thing will sell well."

Lin Jingsheng hit the point, "Then we don't have enough wool at home."

Ye Wan: "There are many people raising sheep in our village. Chang Feng's family raises more than ten sheep. Let's take some things and go to his house to shear some wool tomorrow."

Lin Changfeng is the eldest son of the family to their east, and his husband is Ye Shuyun.

Lin Changfeng and Lin Jingsheng are the same age. They also went to serve in the military at the same time, when they were both under 14 years old.

Lin Changfeng stayed on the battlefield for more than three years and luckily waited to return home.

At least half of the people who went with them died on the battlefield, so they were lucky.

Less than a year after he returned home, he married Ye Shuyun.

During the time when Lin Jingsheng returned home to recuperate, Lin Changfeng often came to see Lin Jingsheng.

Jiang Ci: "Mom, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Ye Wan: "Okay."

……

In the morning they used the toothbrushes they had made yesterday.

Their toothbrushes were placed on a wooden rack outside the bathroom.

The words "father" and "mother" were engraved on the toothbrushes of the two elders, while the rest of them only had the last character of their names engraved on them.

Jiang Ci scooped some water from the bucket next to him with a ladle and poured it into the two wooden cups of him and Lin Jingsheng.

Speaking of this cup, Lin Shan made it by taking out the extra wood from thicker branches.

Jiang Ci pinched some tooth powder and sprinkled it on the toothbrush and handed it to Lin Jingsheng.

"Come and try the toothbrush we made."

This toothbrush definitely doesn't feel any better than modern toothbrushes.

The bristles are a bit soft, like a soft-bristled toothbrush, and there is no peculiar smell of wool. As for the smell, it may have a bit of a woody smell.

But this smell is not as strong as the smell when brushing your teeth with willow branches.

In summary, it is very useful.

Jiang Ci was very satisfied.

After breakfast, Jiang Ci followed Ye Wan to the next door to shear sheep.

They each weighed a basket.

There were two pairs of scissors in Jiang Ci's basket, and there was a small bowl of pickles and a large bowl of red cherries in Ye Wan's basket.

Lin Jingan and his friends picked these cherries on the mountain yesterday morning.

I was making toothbrushes yesterday afternoon and had no time to eat. After eating this big bowl of cherries, there were not many cherries left that Lin Jingan had picked, which made him very sad.

After all, there are not many red cherries on the mountain at this time.

Ye Wan called for help.

Ji Lan, who was washing pots in the kitchen, quickly responded, "Oh, I'm at home."

Lianmeng wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen, "Sister-in-law is here, and Brother Ci is here too!"

Jiang Ci quickly greeted, "Hello, uncle and grandma."

"Oh, okay."

Ye Wan handed the basket to Ji Lan, "I have some pickled vegetables and some wild fruits that Jing An picked on the mountain yesterday."

Ji Lan immediately refused when she saw it, "That's not possible, just stay at home..."

Before Ji Lan could finish, Ye Wan interrupted him, "I have something to ask you, it's just a small thing, don't refuse."

Ji Lan heard this and did not stop Ye Wan from handing it to him, "What's the matter? You brought something with you."

Jiang Ci: "We made some things at home and needed wool, but the two sheep we had at home were not enough. So we thought of shearing some sheep because our uncle and grandma had more sheep."

Ji Lan regained the bright smile on her face at the beginning, "What's the big deal? Just go ahead and cut your hair."

Ye Wan placed the bowls in the basket on the table in the yard. "Put the bowls here first. The basket will be used to hold the wool. You can take it out when you leave."

Ji Lan: "Oh, okay."

Ji Lan went to the kitchen and brought out a basin of water. "Wait a moment. Feed the sheep first. Once they are full, they will behave themselves and stop moving around."

Ji Lan poured the water into the trough next to the sheep pen. There was already some water in the trough. This should be the last basin of water for washing the pot.

He then grabbed some dry and broken grass from the pile nearby and added it in, scooped a ladleful of wheat bran into it and stirred it, then opened the door of the sheepfold and let the sheep out to eat.

As soon as the door of the sheepfold was opened, the sheep rushed out impatiently, scrambled to the trough, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

The lambs were the most lively. They moved back and forth between the troughs, eating grass and jumping from time to time.

The entire sheepfold was filled with a lively atmosphere. The sheep were eating grass and the lambs were bleating happily.

When Ye Shuyun came back from washing clothes outside and saw someone coming home, she didn't rush to hang the clothes out.

He greeted her first, "Auntie, Brother Ci, you are here."

Jiang Ci looked at the clothes in his wooden basin and said, "The clothes are all washed!"

Ye Wan: "Brother Yun, why did you wash your clothes so early? The water in the river is cold in the morning."

Ye Shuyun: "When the weather gets warmer, the water in the river won't be cold anymore."

Ye Shuyun: "Why aren't you doing anything? Sit here and chat."

Jiang Ci: "We want to come to your house to shear some wool. We will shear the sheep after they finish eating. It will be done soon, so we won't sit down."

Ye Shuyun: "Then you guys chat first, I'll go over there and hang the clothes up to dry."

Jiang Ci: "Okay."

There was only that much food in the trough, and the dozen or so sheep and lambs together finished it in no time.

Jiang Ci and Ye Wan went up to shear the sheep. Sheep would be docile when they were full.

The well-fed lambs became more lively. They ran around everywhere and fought with each other by butting their heads.

The other sheep either lay on the ground chewing their food, or stood and sniffed the ground to see if there was anything edible.

Ye Shuyun had finished drying the clothes over there, so she came over to watch them cut them.

But it looked quite interesting, so he went to the room and got a pair of scissors, "Brother Ci, let me cut it too."

Jiang Ci welcomed it very much. "Okay, cut the harder hair on the sheep, like the ones on both sides of the back."

People of the same age have common topics. Each of them picked up a sheep and started chatting about its fur.

Over there, Ji Lan cleaned up the kitchen, took out her needle and thread and sat beside her, watching the embroidery while chatting with Ye Wan.

Ye Shuyun: "I haven't been to your house for a few days. When I passed by your door yesterday morning, I saw Jingsheng sitting in the yard. Has he recovered?"

Jiang Ci: "He has recovered a lot, but Jingsheng still has a lot of injuries. It will take some time before he can walk."

Ye Shuyun: "It's good that he can recover. When Jingsheng first returned home, he was..."

Ye Shuyun felt that it was not good to say this, "Alas, I won't talk about what happened at that time. When Jingsheng recovers, your good days will come."

Jiang Ci felt a little embarrassed, "I am living a good life now."

Ye Shuyun looked at Jiang Ci, whose cheeks were slightly red, and said meaningfully in her eyes, "That's different."
