Being a Life Player in the Middle Ages

Although I want to convert an iron pot into a stove, I know that I need to be impatient when I am young. I have to recall the structure of stoves I have seen in my childhood and draw a structural diagram before I find someone to do it.

As for the iron pot, thinking that he had several orders from Lao Aofu that had not been completed, Xiao decided to wait until the iron cage was done before going over to place the order.

In the afternoon, I came to the store and sat down in my old place again, knitting sweaters with small pockets. I hadn't been there for a long time.

In fact, there are fewer and fewer people looking for someone to learn knitting recently. The main reason is that most people who want to learn in this street and nearby blocks have already learned it. And those who have learned it can teach the knitting skills to others and earn the tuition themselves. Others are not willing to learn from people nearby because of the distance and closeness. So it takes a long time for someone to come and learn knitting.

When I went to learn knitting, no one in the neighborhood came to learn knitting, but the neighbors were still knitting. And looking at the street knitting, I think only the shops in Bayad were open for business, so the people nearby were still knitting. It seems that everyone was out for a walk since yesterday, so no one could come.

I hadn't seen Xiaoguo sitting and knitting together at the door for seven or eight days. Today, she finally appeared. The girls around who were having lunch came over and immediately greeted her.

"Yixiao, did you go to the beach for a picnic yesterday? Did you have fun?"

Yi Xiao enthusiastically shared his dining experience with everyone: "This is our first time fishing, and we caught a lot of fish. Martha's mother said we have to eat them all. She also asked me to ask anyone who wants fresh sea fish, and they can come to me to get it."

"Well, Zhengsheng, my mother said she's going to buy fish tomorrow. You can go get someone and come over later so Shi can pick it out."

It seems that everyone has gone back to clean the kitchen, so for the time being only the girl has appeared in the room.

Others can go to a few places to buy fish, and they all ask for it from others. In fact, everyone knows that they can only take it for free and have to pay. However, buying from neighbors is always cheaper than buying from fishmongers.

Yi Xiao continued to tell the girl about his experience yesterday, and said that he hadn't caught anything unexpected when he came here, which made the girl very envious.

"There's no place to live, can I go and take a look?"

"Wait a few days. It looks like the mole is about to give birth. I'll take you to see it after the little mole is born."

Before the birth, I would like to suggest bringing so many people to disturb Meilidu.

While chatting, I can start knitting, just like knitting a sweater, I use a crochet hook to crochet a blanket, use dyed wool yarn, and prepare to crochet some granny squares, and then piece them together into blankets, shawls, pillows, bags, storage boxes and other things to decorate the room.

The so-called granny check is actually small squares of various patterns and colors crocheted by woolen people, and then these small squares are combined together to form the most common granny check blanket.

You can crochet other patterns at the same time. Just crochet a square of ten centimeters long and wide, use thick wool of the same color to crochet it inside, and use three light colors to match the squares. Finally, use white thread to splice the squares together. The final product will not be too bright or too colorful, which is more in line with the aesthetic of fashion.

When others saw Shi Yun holding a crochet hook, they initially thought she was going to crochet lace again. Later, they found that the crochet hook she was holding was the same one she had used before, and the model was much larger than hers. The yarn she used was thicker than the yarn she usually used to knit sweaters. They knew she should come.

At that time, no one saw Martha's lace collar. In fact, when she saw the lace she knitted with a small crochet, she wanted to learn it, but the complicated knitting technique was very discouraging and some people were discouraged. Later, when she heard that someone went to find a small custom-made lace collar, she was even more interested in it. Someone even ordered her to go to the elementary school to see it. She only needed to take advantage of the situation to learn the knitting technique with a ball of yarn. No matter how shameless she was, she still wanted to learn it. She was too shameless to ask for it.

Girls remember that even if Mao wanted a beautiful lace piece in her heart, she couldn't help but ask Xiao Yan for it. But now she sees that Xiao Yan seems to be doing something new, and she can't help but feel curious.

"Yi Xiao, what do you think someone is coming over for?"

"I'm planning to crochet a blanket," Yi Xiao explained, showing off the tools she had. "Actually, you can use a crochet hook to knit sweaters, but it's a bit complicated. You can learn it later when you're more proficient at knitting."

At that time, I saw a group of little girls around me who had limited patience and could not finish knitting a sweater in half a month, let alone learning other things.

When a young man wants to learn, he will teach him with a small bag of ginger, and he will not bite off more than he chews.

The girl thought about it and calmed down to continue knitting. She saw that when she was a child, she could match colors for her grandmother. Now she saw that grocery stores on the street sold wool of various thicknesses. There were also people selling wool at the market. Except for purple, wool of other colors could be bought. She had more choices of colors to match. When she knitted sweaters, she started to use wool of different colors and patterns. She believed that in time, she would be able to design her own patterns.

After a while, Martha came out to pack up, and then the brides and grooms from around arrived one after another, and watching movies became the most lively place on the street again.

After the weather gets warmer, the clothes can be changed. Because the children are in mourning, they still wear their old clothes. But when they grow up, they see that many of their friends change into new clothes, and some even use linen to knit sweaters.

Nowadays, people wear linen knitted long skirts. Because the styles are different, the shapes of these knitted long skirts are quite different. The previous ones are loose robe styles, while the current ones are slim-fitting. It seems to save more wool, and the acceptance rate is very high, because this kind of waist-hugging long skirt does make people look more lively.

Moreover, knitted sweaters and fabrics are similar in that when knitting, you can freely weave various patterns and colors on the fabric. Compared with plain, plain-colored robes made of fabric, knitted long skirts are naturally more popular.

Groups of women in colorful and patterned knitted long skirts gathered together to work, which undoubtedly became the eye-catching scenery of Oppets Street. It took a few days to visit. Martha heard that there were many people coming and going on the street, especially some single men of marriageable age, who often wandered around. They were looking for business, while others came to look for marriage partners.

In those days, a boy of twelve or thirteen could be considered half an adult, and boys and girls of that age were basically engaged. On the other hand, girls who grew up in Oppets Street and had grown up there were basically all of that age, and if they hadn't gotten engaged yet, they naturally didn't have anyone to propose to.

Mao saw that in just a few days, he heard that many neighbors came to the village to ask for marriage.

It seems that no one had any intention of marrying Xiaogang, and when he actually looked at the most popular marriage candidates on the street, but before he could say anything, Martha, who was already prepared, had already spread the word that Xiaogang had just arrived here and he planned to stay for a few more years before discussing marriage.

It's easy to get the word out, but don't expect anyone to know whether Xiao will find a partner for him temporarily. But if you think about it, it's understandable. Martha is her adopted daughter, and she's only been adopted for a short time. If they find a marriage partner for her now, it's easy for her to favor her future husband and alienate Martha and her husband. And even then, when she's really too old to move, will Xiao still be willing to take care of her? It's clear that Martha and John are willing to see that happen.

So the neighbors all thought privately that Martha would at least keep the child until he was fifteen or even longer, and it was possible that he would go until he was eighteen or twenty.

He has never heard of other people's stories of middle school girls not getting married until they are 20 years old for some reason, so everyone can understand it.

So Martha also said that if you want to have a little intimacy, you need to choose the time when everyone around you can cooperate, and when everyone else comes to the side, they will reject you, so you can only get close to them through the process.

Of course, people secretly thought that since they were still young, they would wait for a few years and when the village headman came to ask for marriage from those younger ones, they would definitely get the chance to propose. Anyway, the age difference was only a few years, so it didn't matter what the girl was.

Of course, it is still too much to hope for, and in fact everyone knows that unless the child is particularly outstanding in knitting, no one on Martha's side will agree.

Mao looked down on this capable and beautiful girl, and he thought that she would marry a capable man of aristocratic descent who was worthy of him.

Let’s get back to the present topic.

He passed by the store door and brought back two pieces of grandmother's box. Mao and He came to say hello and went back into the house to prepare some snacks for everyone.

In addition to fresh alfalfa, you should also prepare some chopped fruits and an egg to supplement its nutrition.

Bring these things upstairs to the baby, and make sure it does not reject the egg liquid before going downstairs. The mother needs to eat a lot of nutritious food during the delivery period to ensure physical strength during delivery and provide enough milk for the baby after giving birth, so throughout the day, prepare a few snacks for the baby.

The next morning, Martha and John went out to prepare gifts for the guests at Bayard, leaving Xiao at home to look after the store. As usual, they went upstairs to bring food to Xiao, and found that Xiao had started to eat. Knowing that she was about to give birth, they quickly put Xiao in the farrowing box to acclimate her to the environment, so as to avoid the baby being born wildly. Xiao did not know how to use the farrowing box.

The birthing box prepared by the little one is warm enough and has the smell of the little one. After the little one is put in, the little one stops biting the little one's fur and its body is still trembling. It should be a sign of labor. But it is not certain when the little one will start to shed fur. Generally, if the little one does not show signs of plucking fur, it can be seen two or three days before labor. It may give birth at any time. Before the little one brings food, the little one has been plucking fur for some time, maybe starting last night.

You can find a small blanket to cover the cage to reduce the light in the cage so that the cub can give birth more peacefully. It is estimated that the cub can be about two years old. It must have given birth before. And if it stays by the cage for a long time, it will make it more anxious and delay giving birth.

It's still daytime and she hasn't given birth yet. However, her body's reactions are getting better and better. I have a feeling that she will give birth tonight or tomorrow morning.

Sure enough, late at night, Xiaoguo vaguely heard some tiny noises in his sleep. He came out with an oil lamp to check the situation. He found that several cubs had been born, and they were still giving birth while feeding.

In about ten minutes, flesh-colored cubs that looked like hairless mice were born one after another, about two minutes apart. The mother took them under her body to feed them. Because of the obstruction of the sky and the light at night, it was difficult to count how many cubs were born, but a rough look showed that there were probably more than ten.

After the birth, Xiao Mao came back to observe and make sure everything was going well. He then added some food and water to the cage, then yawned and went back to the room to continue sleeping.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already daybreak. I felt very sleepy after walking around last night, and tossed and turned for a while before falling asleep in the second half of the night. Now I need to get enough sleep, and it is so rare that I can't even think of lying down and taking another nap.

Under the urging of Martha to eat, Xiao Huane finally overcame his sleepiness and got up to change clothes and comb his hair.
