I live in Miao Village

The house on the west side of the Silver Washing Pond was cleaned up by A Yaoduo, and the mason from the Wushui Pavilion was asked to build a hearth for melting silver and shaping. He asked Jin Ge's father to help make the workbench and cabinets, and then invited Longchang Town The masons on the site carved molds and tools, and a small family silver workshop took shape.

Aunt Jinlan saw that Ayaoduo stayed inside every day and couldn't come out, she was worried that she was exhausting herself, and even more worried that she was determined to make silver jewelry. How could this woman do the work that men do, and make silver jewelry that only men can make?Several times I lent Ayaoduo the opportunity to deliver food and water to inquire.

"Just do it for fun, what are you doing with so many tools, and the things in this room, mess around! The Lusheng Festival is coming, are you ready?"

"Preparing for what?" Ayaoduo was engrossed in carving patterns with a knife, without thinking about the meaning of her mother's words, she answered casually, but she couldn't hear her mother's answer for a long time, and suddenly became vigilant, "Ready, ready, I'm ready." You must dress beautifully that day, be as gentle as you want, and be as virtuous as you want, and I will never embarrass you."

Aunt Jinlan was still silent, and it took a while before she said, "Ayaoduo, tell me, do you really want to make silver jewelry in the future?"

"No, isn't this helping A Muqiu? Maybe I'll get tired of it in two days. When did you see me being serious?" A Yaoduo said so, but her work was meticulous, with a dull and rough carving knife. Under her hand, it seems to have life, wherever it is engraved, it will shine brightly, and in a short time, a phoenix looking forward to radiance will be engraved.

This craft is definitely not something that can be practiced in 3 minutes of enthusiasm. Outsiders don't understand it. Aunt Jinlan comes from a family of silversmiths, so how can she not understand it?

"The truth?"

"Truth!"

Aunt Jinlan sighed, she didn't really believe what Ayaoduo said, and walked out with a heavy heart, the depression in her heart did not decrease but increased.

At noon, Granny Sang came back from herding cattle with her grandson, passed by the canteen, asked Aunt Jinlan for a bowl of water, and asked Ayaoduo if she had an in-law's house.

Aunt Jinlan: "No, Ayaoduo is still studying, let's wait until she finishes reading."

Granny Sang: "How many years does this university take, four years? She is already eighteen this year, and her children will run around the streets in four years. Your family, Ayaoduo, still doesn't have a husband's family?"

Aunt Jinlan was stunned.

Granny Sang approached mysteriously, "Let me tell you, don't think that your girl is still young, she is already a mother of two children at our age, Ayaoduo is not sensible, you are a mother You can't be as ignorant as her. Also, Ayaoduo told me a while ago that she can make silver jewelry, and she wants to make it for my granddaughter. Let me tell you, don't let your daughter do this, woman Yin is heavy, not only is it unlucky for the person who wears it, but also unlucky for the person who wears it!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why do you think only men can do it? It's because men have strong yang energy and can hold it back."

When Aunt Jinlan heard what she said, she was so frightened that she was in a state of anxiety for a whole day, always worrying about what happened to Ayaoduo.During dinner at night, I said to Ayaoduo tactfully, "Your hands are hot, do you still look like a girl? Forget it, we will not make this silver jewelry. We will go to your grandma's house for the Lantern Festival in two days. , I told your third uncle, let him help you make the rest of the silver jewelry, and don’t do this kind of thing again.”

"Mom, it's okay. I'm wearing gloves. I can't hurt it. This wound was bitten by Aunt Zhenhua's big white goose." A Yaoduo smiled playfully, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her mother had something on her mind.

Although my mother beat her up at noon today, her attitude of not letting her make silver jewelry was far less firm than she is now. After some questioning, she found out that Granny Sang had been here.

"It seems that these people's thinking has regressed again without my father." Standing up, he wanted to reason with the village chief.

Aunt Jinlan: "Where are you going? Granny Sang is also doing it for your own good. Since ancient times, how can girls make silver jewelry?"

A Yaoduo turned her head back: "Then there was no female husband before! Going forward, our ancestors didn't allow us to intermarry with Han people, but didn't you still stay with my dad? Why can you do it, but I can't?"

Aunt Jinlan's lips parted, "This..."

Aunt Jin Lan resolutely followed Fang Zhishu to Danliu village in order to be with Fang Zhishu in spite of her family's opposition. Mr. Jin led a group of people to chase after him, and the two sides almost didn't fight.

The two also experienced some unimaginable difficulties before being together.

Ayaoduo didn't mean what she said, but Aunt Jinlan didn't care when she heard it. Thinking of Fang Zhishu, she couldn't help but feel sad.

A Yaoduo: "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, don't be sad."

Aunt Jinlan sighed, "Ayaoduo, mom knows that the rules passed down from ancestors are unfair to girls, but mom is also worried about you, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, in case something happens to you, I will ..."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I don't believe in yin and yang!" A Yaoduo patted her on the shoulder to reassure her.

Early the next morning, A Yaoduo went to the village head and said, Uncle Yao, I found that you are not paying attention to your work anymore. Recently, the feudal superstition of the villagers has reappeared. How do you do your political and ideological work?

The village chief visited relatives the day before, drank all night, and his mind was not very clear. He was surprised when he heard this: "Where, where is it not doing well? I can't help if the superiors don't send people. They think it's poor here. , refused to come. In the past, when your father was around, he could still teach everyone. Now that your father is away, I... You know, your Uncle Yao can’t read a few words, and he doesn’t know how to teach. Why don’t you come. "

"I can't come, but there is someone ready!"

"A ready-made person?" The village chief shook his head, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Oh, how could I forget Teacher Xue? Yes, yes, let her come. The villagers trust her the most, and she can still teach People who go out to work can read and write, don’t even know the name of a place, and can’t find the way home.”

Only when the village head came to the door with two cadres in charge did Xue Yi know that she had been betrayed by Ayaoduo.

"Do you think I don't have enough things to do?" Xue gave a murderous look.

A Yaoduo smiled and said: "But you are the best candidate. I also want to increase your prestige and favorability among the villagers. Don't worry, it's only a few days during the holidays. You can just talk to them for an hour every afternoon. , show them a movie after the lecture, they will definitely come, last time I went to the city to find a projector, and I can watch it with a piece of white cloth."

Xue Yi: "Heh, you're well thought out! How long have you been planning?"

"No, no, all kinds of coincidences happened accidentally. By the way, when you promote science to them, you must tell them about equality between men and women. When it comes to marriage, you must especially tell them that the legal age for marriage for women is 20 years old, earlier than 20 years old is against the law, emmmmm..." Tilting your head and thinking for a while, "20 years old is too early, you tell them that the legal age of marriage is 30 years old."

"Pfft~" Xue Yi couldn't help laughing, and poked A Yaoduo's forehead with his hand, "Girl, it is illegal to change the legal age of marriage! Knowing that you are under great pressure, I will help you and make your silver jewelry." Bar!"

"Well, I knew Teacher Xue was the best." A Yaoduo leaned forward to kiss her, but was slapped away by Xue Yi, "Hurry up and get lost."

"okay!"

Xue Yi watched A Yaoduo enter the small silver workshop, turned around and went back to the house, when he looked up and saw Aunt Jinlan coming back from outside, his heart skipped a beat.

"Aunt Jinlan, are you back?"

"Hey, I'm back." The tone was the same as usual, and there seemed to be no difference.

Xue Yi wished that he thought too much, and went back to their houses after exchanging a few pleasantries.

Aunt Jinlan sat in the room for about half an hour before murmuring, "Her father, your daughter is exactly like us!"

****

When it was time to go back to her natal family to visit relatives once a year, Aunt Jinlan asked Ayaoduo to go with her to see her grandmother, but Ayaoduo didn't go, so she gave Aunt Jinlan the money to buy more delicious food for her grandma, just like herself Been there.Aunt Jinlan knew she didn't want to go, so she didn't force it.

After Aunt Jinlan left, Ayaoduo continued to knock in the silver workshop every day. No one was cooking, so Xue Yi had to do it by himself.

A Yaoduo looked reluctant after eating, Xue Yi: "It's hard to eat?"

A Yaoduo hurriedly shook her head, "No, it's delicious, especially delicious."

Xue Yi didn't believe it, and asked the audience with a plate, whoever wanted to buy it would get a [-]% discount.

The audience looked disgusted: [Anchor, we usually treat you well, why are you so cruel? ]

Xue Yi ate one by himself: "Is that an exaggeration?"

In the end, I paid the shipping fee cruelly, and only three people bought it when it was half sold and half free.

The first audience: [Anchor, it seems that Duomei really loves you. ]

The second audience: [Duomei has a very strong desire to survive, the appraisal is completed. ]

The third audience: [Xue Yi, you really have a problem with your sense of taste, so I can forgive the fact that you are bi——. ]

Why are you still scolding?Take a look at the ID of the third viewer: Qian Liwen.

Xue Yi: Well, master, am I your own?

Qian Liwen: No.

The audience was full of hahaha: [It's really a master-student relationship, so touching, so touching. ]

Xue Yi: "..."

This noisy day lasted for a week, and there was no improvement when Aunt Jinlan came back during the Lantern Festival. Aunt Jinlan only stayed at home for one day before she was invited to Xinchunzhai to make a dress for the bride.

Fortunately, when Ah Muqiu came to try on the dress and took over the kitchen, the food for the two of them got better.

It was the first time for Ayaoduo to make a whole set of silver jewelry, and she was somewhat unfamiliar with it. In some places, she made mistakes and had to melt it and redo it. In some places, the general method was correct, but it was not clear how to implement it. After studying for a while, it was quite trouble.

Fortunately, there was enough time, and Xue Yi and A Muqiu were there to help. Ayaoduo finished a complete set of silver ornaments two days before the Lusheng Festival, and spent another two days soaking and polishing the silver ornaments, embroidering them on the on clothes.

The newly made silver jewelry shone with silver light, and it was extremely brilliant. When Ah Muqiu put it on, her hands shook slightly, feeling that the clothes on her body were heavy, but it made people feel at ease. She finally had a set of silver jewelry of her own.

"How about the silver jewelry I made, isn't it pretty?"

"Looks good, thank you, A Yaoduo." A Muqiu couldn't help crying.

Xue Yi comforted her, "It's the right time to laugh, why are you crying?" Seeing that her face was full of tears, she suddenly remembered something, ran back to the room and took out her cosmetics, "Come on, sit down quickly, I I will put on some makeup for you, and I will guarantee that you are the most beautiful girl in Changchunpo!"
