"Don't laugh! What I said is true." Qi Ermei looked at her and nodded heavily, thinking about it and then said, "Actually, I know what you said, there are men in the village who beat their wives. But they are all despicable lazy men. There are many good men! Your teacher Lin is very good."

"Haha..." Hua Banzhi smiled and clapped her hands, "Okay, the cradle is ready, let the big girls and the others carry home when they go back." She stood up and said, "It's almost time, I'm going to school." She looked down at Qi Ermei and said, "Let Guangming accompany you, I'm leaving." Looking at Qi Ermei and said, "Sister Qi, what are you doing?"

"I'll sit there with the children." Qi Ermei pointed to the corridor, where the children sat.

"I'll get the chair." Hua Banzhi said to her, and said as she picked up the bamboo chair.

Hua Banzhi sent Qi Ermei to the corridor, washed her hands under the faucet, put on her back and went to class.

Hua Banzhi waited for a few days to get the newly-departed sorghum pole. On Sunday, she moved a bamboo chair and sat in the corridor, intending to cover the curtain.

Making a cover curtain is actually very simple. The tools required are one is an awl, two is a thin line, and three is a sickle. Without a sickle, half a branch is replaced by a kitchen knife.

"I'm here to join in the fun." Qi Ermei was supported by Sanya and walked over.

"Aunt Qi sits." Zhou Guangming handed her the high backrest chair and said.

"So good." Qi Ermei sat down, "Da Ya gave me the things."

Da Ya moved the small bamboo table to Qi Ermei and placed the sorghum stalk on it.

"Sister Qi, can you?" Hua Banzhi said with concern.

"I can easily get a curtain to cover it, but I just have it, don't make a fuss." Qi Ermei looked at her and smiled relaxedly, "I have made this a lot at home." Then she said with some nostalgia, "When I was at home, the corn stalks were kept at home to cook and cook the kang after the autumn harvest. The sorghum stalks are of great use. The thin part on the top can be used as curtains, and the lower part can be used as curtains. When building a house, it is laid on the purlins, making the house thinner."

Hua Banzhi looked at the sorghum stalks of a certain size and said with a smile, "It seems that the owner of the sorghum stalks who gave us very much! You see, the places with fine endings are yellow and white, and some have some purple spots. They look very bright and enjoy the eyes."

The two of them were talking and doing things. They were both veterans and could do it with their eyes closed.

The curtain is covered, the thin sections of sorghum stalks and the cross is woven with thread ropes to form a common cooking utensil in the farm kitchen.

Select the fine and slightly thick sorghum stalks, moisten them with water, and place the straw on the basin to facilitate threading of needles. Use the front and back side of the needle and thread to alternately connect the upper and lower layers of crossed sorghum stalks to form a whole.

The cover curtain cannot be made into a single layer, it must be double-layered, because the things on the single layer are tilted and crooked when placed on it and cannot maintain balance. After using the double layer, the cover curtain will not be twisted and straight.

After more than 60 sorghum poles run up and down, they have to use hemp ropes to run up and down. The needle size should not be too large. If it is too large, the hemp rope will leak out, which is obviously ugly.

After the two cover curtains are made separately, one up and down, one horizontally, and one vertically, and then fixed up and down with a thin linen. In order to make the cover curtains stronger, there are no ladles or ridges, you need to find more fixing points.

After the prototype of the cover curtain is completed, a small nail is laid on the middle part of the sorghum stalk in the middle of the cover curtain, a thin rope is pulled, and a pencil is tied to the rope on the other side, and a circle is drawn with the nail as the center. This circular cover curtain looks like it.

Finally, use a sickle to cut along the pencil mark in the circle. The upper and lower cover curtains should be cut into chamfers, and then use a sickle to cut the contact areas between the two cover curtains to avoid the sorghum stalks being sharp.

After the preparation is completed, use a straw to measure the radius according to the required diameter size, insert the radius with a needle in the center of the cover curtain, and cut the straw into a circle with the other end with the kitchen knife.

It takes about half an hour to make a cover curtain ready and it will be ready to use.

"Huahua is a master, judging by the posture!" Qi Ermei said in surprise at the cover curtain she made, "Look at it, it is not tilted, it is particularly round, and there is no trace of the needle code of the thin linen rope on it, especially the place where the kitchen knife is cut is round and not pricked."

"Practice makes perfect." Hua Banzhi smiled and said, "Sister Qi's craftsmanship is not bad either."

"With him in my arms, I can't do whatever I want, and I'm a little slow." Qi Ermei said embarrassedly.

"What are you doing so quickly?" Hua Banzhi looked at her and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do after I finish it. It feels wrong to not hold anything in my hand in this chat."

"Yes!" Qi Ermei smiled knowingly when she heard this. It was very comfortable to chat with her. Whatever she said was like smearing honey in her mouth.

"Mom, give it to me." Zhou Guangming took it and looked around, "Mom is so beautiful. If you think about it carefully, it looks like a vivid landscape painting."

"Yes!" Hua Banzhi smiled and said, "Maybe the purple pattern of the sorghum stem itself is very beautiful." In addition, she did it intentionally, of course it would look good.

"Sister Qi, school is about to start. Have the children's school been found?" Hua Banzhi started again with the sorghum pole.

"This dad should have agreed!" Qi Ermei thought for a while and said, "I will contact the school soon afterwards. It will be fine if the child goes there."

"Your heart is really big." Hua Banzhi said with a smile when she heard this. In her opinion, something big was a big deal, and it was a small matter.

"I'm not so arrogant. If you ask me, I can't do this! No one knows me." Qi Ermei said very frankly, "Now, I learn Cantonese with Guangming, and I can only eat without any problems."

Hua Banzhi pursed her lips and smirked, which is really a foodie's attributes.

"Let's go to our school, and the children in our family yard are there. They are also close to here. They walk for more than ten minutes and don't have to cross the road." Zhou Guangming said immediately.

"Needless to say, the school Da Ya's father is definitely there." Qi Ermei smiled and said, she knew her own men too well.

"Guangming, is that school good?" Daya asked curiously as he looked at him.

Zhou Guangming placed the cover curtain in his hand on the railing in the corridor, sat on the railing and looked at them and said, "The school is so good, much better than our primary school in Beijing. The house is similar to the house here, it is very beautiful."

"What about the teacher? Will the teacher say things we don't understand, so we can't keep up in class like that?" Erya said worriedly.
Chapter completed!
