Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chapter 170 Women’s Group Makes Great Contributions

Huo Tianxiang took a closer look and saw that Huo Yunchao's expression was solemn and did not look like he was joking. He turned to look at Butcher Xu: "My dear, what do you think?"

Butcher Xu replied without thinking: "Chao'er rarely asks for anything from us, so of course we fathers can't just watch."

Huo Tianxiang agreed very much with Butcher Xu's words: "Chao'er, tell me what you need from me and your father Xu."

In the past ten years or so, Huo Tianxiang relied on the sense of accomplishment his eldest son gave him to generate a steady stream of motivation, and he worked hard to make money as if he was possessed by Saburo.

Huo Yunchao stated his request, and Huo Tianxiang supported him on the spot: "No problem, your father Xu and I will set off early tomorrow morning."

Butcher Xu on the side also nodded.

Huo Yunchao touched his nose and said, "Dad, Dad Xu, there is still no sign of the bamboo paper. You may be looked down upon."

Butcher Xu patted Huo Yunchao on the shoulder and said, "When you ask for help, you have to be prepared to be rejected. Your father and I know this."

Early the next morning, Huo Tianxiang and Xu Tutu set off from Pingle Village talking and laughing while pushing a wheelbarrow with two large bamboo baskets filled to the brim.

Watching the two fathers leave, Huo Yunchao rubbed his face with his hands and turned around to see Xu Ning looking at him with worried eyes.

Huo Yunchao twitched the corner of his mouth, but failed to put on a decent smile. He simply broke the jar and said: "Madam, when I think about these two fathers being looked down upon by others, I feel very uncomfortable."

Xu Ning said nothing, but held his hand, conveying her body temperature and silent concern.

Huo Yunchao stared straight at the four hands intertwined and exhaled the turbid air in his chest.

: "Okay, I won't think about it anymore. I can't change anything no matter how much I think about it, just do it!"

Xu Ning smiled brightly at him and said softly: "I'll be with you."

Huo Yunchao's frown relaxed at Xu Ning's smile. He would not forget the way he came, nor would he forget that his original intention of working hard was to make Xu Ning live a comfortable and happy life.

The young couple returned home hand in hand and saw Huo Yunrong and other thirteen burly men from a distance, standing around in front of the clear water pond.

Huo Yunrong waved to Huo Yunchao: "Yun Chao, you've come back just in time! Come and see if the clear water pond is ready for use?"

Huo Yunzhao looked around the Qingshui Pond, and after checking inside and outside, he came to the conclusion: "Yes, the Qingshui Pond can be put into use."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunrong immediately turned around and said to the others: "Let's go up the mountain and chop bamboo!"

Huo Yunchao was startled for a moment, and when he saw Huo Yunrong and others holding a woodcutter, he quickly said: "Let's use bamboo soaked in the river..."

Huo Yunrong shook his head and said: "I asked Master Zheng that it would be best to go up the mountain and cut a batch of fresh bamboo to compare with the original bamboo that has been soaked in water."

Huo Yunchao was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Brother Rong, thank you for your hard work. I have calculated that it will take about thirty bamboo sticks to fill this clear water pond."

He mentioned it to Zheng Shaoxuan, but he didn't expect that Zheng Shaoxuan would take it so seriously and even persuade Huo Yunrong and others.

Huo Yunrong said, "It's not hard work. Aren't my brothers just cutting a few bamboos? Yun Chao, if papermaking can really succeed, our descendants will enjoy endless blessings. In addition to our strength, our brothers

, there is nothing I can do to help. "

Xu Anyong took over the conversation and said: "Yun Chao, we don't know a few characters, but we also want to leave something to future generations and honor our ancestors."

Others nodded in agreement.

Huo Yunchao glanced around and smiled: "Okay. Brothers, let's go chop bamboo."

People work together to accomplish great things.

It only took Huo Yunrong an hour to lead twelve people, and thirty more bamboos were found beside the clear water pond.

When bamboo is pulled from the mountains and soaked in clear water ponds, it needs to go through three steps: breaking the green, peeling the green and whitening.

Peeling green, as the name suggests, is to peel off the green skin of bamboo, and the bamboo tube with the green skin peeled off is called white blank.

Copying was the content of yesterday's big competition. Beating the blank repeatedly until it was broken into pieces required a lot of manpower and material resources.

Huo Yunchao started teaching Huo Yunrong from Duanqing. With the sound of chopping, sections were cut into bamboo tubes about 2 meters long, and they were placed on the ground in pieces.

On the other side, Xu Ning, led by Lin Xiaocao and other women, were building a rack specifically for peeling off the green skin of bamboo.

Xu Ning has an extremely outstanding carpentry talent. She is strong and can use her skills. Building a wooden shelf today is not a delicate job. It does not require too much talent, it only requires time and energy.

The women's team are all ingenious women, and they don't need too much running-in. Xu Ning just needs to make the right arrangements, share the work, and do it step by step.

The men's team headed by Huo Yunrong cut thirty bamboo sticks into two-meter-long bamboo tubes. They planned to finish the job before building the wooden frame, but turned around and saw that the women had already built the wooden frame.

, everyone was a little surprised.

Xu Anyong leaned over and said, "Are you moving too fast? I just said I would come over to help you."

Xu Ning smiled and said nothing.

Aunt Yao rolled her eyes at Xu Anyong: "Xu Anyong, you got an advantage and still act like a good boy!"

Xu Anyong laughed a few times and turned to get the bamboo tube: "Let me test whether the wooden frame you built works."

Aunt Ma was very proud of the achievements of the women's group. When she heard Xu Anyong's words that clearly looked down on women, she stamped her feet angrily: "You brat, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"

Xu Anyong pretended that he did not hear the scoldings of Madam Ma and other women. He put the bamboo tube on the wooden stand and waved the knife in his hand to peel the bamboo skin.

Under the guise of testing, he was actually deliberately looking for trouble and changed his stance several times.

Xu Ning and Lin Xiaocao looked at each other. The two sisters had a spiritual connection. They turned around to pick up a bamboo tube and began to peel the green bark of the bamboo!

Aunt Ma scolded Xu Anyong but didn't get any response. She became even more angry and cursed around Xu Anyong.

Aunt Yao was also very angry, but she was smarter than Aunt Ma. She noticed the actions of Xu Ning and Lin Xiaocao and immediately imitated them.

Just when Xu Anyong was about to find an excuse to find fault, he looked up and saw several women surrounding him, all of them peeling the bamboo skin seriously.

The first person Xu Anyong looked at was Xu Ning. There was no way, people were all visual animals. Xu Ning looked so outstanding, it was not easy to ignore her existence.

Xu Ning was peeling the bamboo skin as if there was no one around. Her hands were very steady when peeling the bamboo skin. With one stroke, she could get a complete piece of bamboo skin.

, the thickness of each piece of bamboo skin is consistent, which is enough to show how good her skills are.

Xu Anyong swallowed his saliva. He was not coveting Xu Ning's beauty, but was shocked by Xu Ning's skill.

He and Xu Ning are blood relatives within three generations. As Xu Ning's next-door cousin, he has no inappropriate thoughts and is not an immoral pervert like Young Master Zhou or Lu Ba.

Xu Anyong's eyes shifted to Lin Xiaocao, Aunt Yao and other women. The shock did not fade away, but became more intense. This was because the bamboo skin peeled by Lin Xiaocao and others was full of pits. Compared with the standard answer like Xu Ning, Up, it was really miserable.

The contrast between novices and veterans was so obvious that Xu Anyong asked his soul: "Ning, Ning Niang, have you ever practiced peeling?"

"what?"

Xu Ning's "Ah" was like a slap on Xu Anyong's face.

Xu Anyong: Thank you for the invitation, my face hurts.
