Chapter 526 It's like a gourd with a saw mouth
It's really not a fun thing.
"Mom, that thing won't work. I don't need that. I have mosquito repellent in my yard. I haven't been out for the past two days so I'm researching how to get some mosquito repellent juice. If it works, I'll give each of you a bottle and apply it directly on your body. Mosquitoes
No more bites.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu Zhang was extremely curious, "Hey, old girl, is it so easy to use? When can we get it done?"
She has bad eyesight, and every time she orders something like this, she is so fumigated that she can't open her eyes. But in summer, there are so many mosquitoes, and she can't sleep without fumigation.
Xu Jiaojiao coughed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"It's in progress. I'm still exploring. It should be almost done. I'll test it for two more nights and it will probably be ready."
She extracted it from the juice of several types of mosquito repellent. She didn't grow much in the yard, so she had to buy it at the drugstore. There was no fresh one. She was a young medical apprentice and was not very skilled yet, so she was still figuring it out.
She wiped the stuff she got out last night and it seemed to be much better, but it still couldn't be completely eliminated.
Erya and Sanya have already come out with the sickle basket.
"Milk, let's go."
Mrs. Xu Zhang said, "If your old lady doesn't go, then I won't go either. You two can go cut some and bring them back for use first."
The two girls agreed. As soon as they left the door, they heard them saying outside, "Hey, Yanzi is here. Yanzi, what are you doing with so many wax candles?"
Xu Zhang and Xu Jiaojiao hurried out to see the situation.
I saw the swallow carrying a big basket, and the basket was full of neatly cut wool candles.
This thing grows in the water. It is a kind of aquatic plant. It looks like a candle. After it is dried and lit, it will burn slowly like a candle. When it burns, it emits thick green smoke, which is very smoky.
people.
Yanzi said coquettishly, "It's for you. My father said that your family has many things to do and is busy, so we cut more ourselves."
He put the candle down, said a few words, and turned around to leave.
Mrs. Xu Zhang was behind her, shouting hurriedly, "You kid, you're all sweaty. Come in and have a drink of water before you leave!"
Yanzi's face turned red, "No, Auntie."
Running very fast.
This girl is quite agile, thin and small, like a monkey.
He talks little and speaks when necessary. If he talks too much, he's like a gourd with a sawed beak.
This is quite similar to Erlang.
Mrs. Xu Zhang became more and more satisfied with this girl the more she looked at her. Such a girl was simple, simple and unpretentious, unlike those with a crooked heart.
Otherwise, Erlang will not be able to control it in the future and will definitely suffer big losses.
The swallows ran away, and Mrs. Xu Zhang turned back to Erya and Sanya and said, "Okay, you guys just pack these up. You don't have to mow them. Let them dry in the yard."
Erya and Sanya smiled and said, "Our future sister-in-law is so diligent..."
"It's just that my sister-in-law runs so fast that I can't catch up. She's like a rabbit..."
Xu Jiaojiao also found it funny. This girl was very agile. Last time she delivered medicine to her in the middle of the night, when she and Liao Qing came out, no one was found.
Slipping so fast.
"Jiaojiao, although this girl has stolen our gourds, I think she is discerning. I like her, do you like her?" Mrs. Xu Zhang spoke to Xu Jiaojiao with satisfaction.
Xu Jiaojiao joked, "Mom, what's the point of being among us? If you want the second man to win, you will win..."
Just as he was talking, suddenly a carriage drove past the old house.
It was hard to see from a distance, so Xu Zhang muttered, "Who is here?"
Xu Jiaojiao smiled slightly, "It's the fifth brother who is back. Mom, go and greet the fifth brother."
She heard Lao Wu's voice from so far away.
There was also the sound of the goods being dragged on the carriage, due to the bumps and bumps. Those should be the custom-made wine sets that Lao Wu brought back.
Mrs. Xu Zhang was overjoyed, "Huh? Lao Wu is back? That's great..."
It’s been almost half a year since I left home during the Chinese New Year and I haven’t come back. How could my biological son not miss me?
I walked over and took a look, wasn't Lao Wu back?
Xu Laowu didn't come home for more than half a year. He didn't know about the new house being built at home, so he went straight to the old house.
There was no one in the old house and it was closed. I asked the coachman to turn around and go to the wine shop, only to find out that my family had built a new big house.
Xu Zhang welcomed him back to his new house.
Xu Laowu looked around at home and was amazed!
"Dad, mother, little sister, I thought a rich family moved next to our winery, but it turns out it's our big house! It's amazing. There's a bumper harvest of loquat paste this year. I didn't expect it.
, wild fruits can be used in this way and become so valuable, my sister is so capable... Wow, I actually have my own house!"
He never dreamed that he would have a house, or a new house.
He has always been the youngest brother in the family, and his elder brothers should take precedence in everything.
Therefore, I rarely think about myself.
Such a large room, clean, spacious, bright and tidy, really surprised him and warmed his heart.
Xu Zhang said quickly, "Lao Wu, why did you come back suddenly? I asked you to study with the master outside, but it's better for you, why do you come back here out of season?"
He was not notified of the plans for a new house at home, for fear of affecting his studies.
Learning art is a serious matter, and it's a long way away. It's not easy to come back.
The last time Xu Laowu suddenly returned home from his studies made people panic, just in case something bad happened again.
But I can't stand it anymore.
This is like being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Xu Laowu hurriedly explained, "Mom, I have completed my studies and become a master! My master said that I am smart and I have the foundation of blacksmithing in the past two years. If my family only made utensils for the winery, I would be able to become a master now. I
I wanted to help my family, so I left the profession."
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Congratulations to Fifth Brother!"
This is equivalent to graduating from a modern technical school.
Mrs. Xu Zhang understood clearly, "Then how are you doing in your studies? Are you really good at it, or does the master not want to teach you anymore? Does he dislike you for being as stupid as a donkey?"
"Mom, I really learned well. This time the masters even issued me a certificate. I'm afraid you won't believe it. Come on, show it to you, no, show it to me. Master even praised me and said that I
If you learn well, learn quickly, and learn solidly, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can still go to them if you can't solve them yourself. Several masters are very good to me..."
Xu Laowu took out a document and it was stamped with an official seal. It was indeed genuine.
Xu Jiaojiao picked it up and read it, and she understood what Xu Laowu said.
He learned his skills in the imperial workshop in the provincial capital. In the imperial workshop, there was more than one master. Some were specialized in refining jade, some were specialized in firing porcelain, some were specialized in making pottery, and some were specialized in making gold, silver, copper and ironware.
