I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

During the lunch break, Liu Kun cut down the wood according to Liu Xiaoxiao's request.

"Second sister, why do you insist on buying sour jujube wood?" He handed her a few small jujubes as he said this.

"Because the jujube tree is hard! And I can eat its fruit, how great!" As he said this, he rubbed the dates on his clothes and then put them in his mouth.

Liu Kun smiled at her carefree attitude. He thought back to when she used to ask if she had washed anything before eating. Now, she would just rub her food on her clothes before eating. What a difference!

Liu Xiaoxiao ate the not-so-sweet dates and said to Liu Kun, "These dates are quite delicious. Does Big Brother have any more? I'll go with Daya and pick some more so we can have some snacks on the way!"

Liu Kun looked at her strangely: "What's so delicious about this? It's not sweet or sour."

After saying that, he pointed to the wood next to her and asked, "And didn't you say you wanted to make a crossbow?"

Liu Xiaoxiao thought, "Oh, right!" She had to go watch Carpenter Liu make a crossbow, so she didn't have time to pick the dates. But she felt it would be a shame to throw them away, so she turned to Liu Kun and said, "Brother, why don't you take Daya and Sanya with you? Have them pick all the dates they can. I'll need them later. Also, have my second brother come with you. After they're done, you can chop down the trees and we'll put them on the cart to dry."

Hadn't he already cut down a piece of wood? Why was he cutting more? In the spirit of asking when he didn't understand, he asked, "Does it take a lot of wood to make a crossbow?"

Seeing him like this, Liu Xiaoxiao knew he had misunderstood and explained, "A crossbow doesn't require much wood, but dry wood is best for making a crossbow. We can't find dry jujube wood right now, so we used the one you just felled as a test. Once this is successful the first time, it's best to use dry wood in the future."

After hearing what she said, Liu Kun understood. It made sense. The furniture they usually used was made of dry wood, so it was even more appropriate to make a crossbow like this.

After figuring it out, he said to Liu Xiaoxiao, "Then you can call Liu the carpenter and use these woods for now. Now I will take my second brother to cut down those sour jujube trees."

Seeing her elder brother was about to leave in a hurry, Liu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said loudly: "Remember to bring back all the dates."

"I understand," Liu Kun replied.

Carpenter Liu saw Mu Tou coming back, and he and Liu Zhigang came over and said to Liu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, your uncle Zhigang said he wants to come over and help too. Is that okay with you?"

Liu Xiaoxiao agreed, of course, and said, "Sure! We haven't even started yet. If Uncle Zhigang can come and join us, then if we succeed, the two uncles will take over. By then, it will be more than just making one! I hope you guys don't give up when the time comes."

The two adults did not take Liu Xiaoxiao's joke seriously. What they were doing now would be their guarantee for the future, so how could they give up halfway?

But Liu Zhigang still replied: "You're overthinking it. I'm very happy that you can bring this thing out and teach it to us. How can you just say you won't do it?"

Seeing how serious they were, Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I was just joking. Let's get started now! Although this crossbow is simple, there are some details that we need to pay more attention to in order to make it right."

The two adults saw that Liu Xiaoxiao quickly got into the state and started explaining, and they also listened carefully.

Liu Xiaoxiao first explained the general production process, and then went on to explain in detail the points that needed to be paid attention to at each step. After listening to her, Carpenter Liu and Liu Zhigang began to make the work.
