Mr. Yu is right, as long as someone is willing to learn, there is nothing he cannot learn.

The main thing is that this thing is not difficult. Everyone takes turns to learn. After mastering the operation method, they start to sew some simple locks. Of course, this is all done with discarded scraps.

Within seven or eight days, almost everyone will know it, but some people are fast and some are slow.

Once the gap is revealed, everyone can compare. No one wants to be the worst, so those with slower hand speeds are willing to leave work later than others and learn more. After a while, you will be able to master it more skillfully.

After using the machine, everyone began to dislike the slow speed of manual work, and asked every day when the machine would be ready.

So, the pressure was successfully put on the blacksmith.

In fact, after making the first batch, it will be much easier to make the subsequent ones. The key point is that Lu Laoer went to different blacksmiths to make them according to He Jiuniang’s instructions. Everyone’s progress was different, and the parts were not available. , so there is no way to assemble it at home.

Lu Laoer can only go to each blacksmith every day to collect the newly made parts, and then send them home to be assembled by several men in the family.

Zhang Song’s injury has improved a lot. At least he can sit down and assemble small parts without any problem. As for Lu Xiaoyang, he is still young after all and has already gone into business with Lotus.

The men in the family are the busiest every day. They wake up early in the morning to process the feathers of poultry, and then follow the instructions of the puppy non-stop to learn to assemble the sewing machine.

That’s right, just learn from dogs!

He Jiuniang was going to the medical clinic and had no time to teach. Gou'er was the only one certified by He Jiuniang that he could assemble it, so he took on this important task.

He also likes to assemble small parts himself. If he can’t handle the larger ones, he will teach his uncles at home to assemble them.

Mr. Sun calculated his wages and gave him thirty cents a day. He made a lot of money in the past few days and had more money for his private life.

Fortunately, among the children of the Lu family, not only Xiao Xiaozi is the only one who has private money, there are also three little girls, Lianhua, Youyatou, and Shanyatou. Lianhua goes out to do business to make money. Money, while Youyatou and Shanyatou learned embroidery from the embroiderers in the workshop.

Embroidery is a craft. Some custom-made clothing requires embroidery patterns, which requires additional labor.

Girl Shan learned quickly because of her interest. She was able to embroider some decent flowers in just two or three months. Although Girl You was not very interested, she was older than Shan after all. The girl is older and can learn things quickly, especially if the two of them study hard and embroider, grandma will give money, which will stimulate their initiative even more.

As for the reading trio, after they started giving pocket money from home, as long as they taught their family members to read and learn Chinese characters seriously every night, no one would have three pennies of pocket money. Although the pocket money was not much, it was still Very promising.

Especially Huzi, during this time, he also went to the bookstore to take over the job of copying books.

Copying books to make money is something that many scholars do. Copying a book can not only consolidate the knowledge learned, but also make money. It is a very popular business.

You can earn more than sixty to two hundred yuan by copying a book. The price for good-looking books is high, and the price for ordinary books is low. If the writing is really ugly, then there is no way to make this money. .

The three reading groups are all relatively young, and they haven’t been studying for a long time. Although they have studied very seriously, the handwriting they wrote is still somewhat unsatisfactory. Even the largest Leizi can only reach the level of sixty Wen so far.

But this is already very good, the three of them worked out a plan.

Leizi took over the job of copying books. After returning home at night, he could copy books with peace of mind. Jiezi and Leizi were responsible for teaching their family members to read and learn calligraphy, and the money earned by the three of them was put together in the end. Evenly divided.

Everyone in the family is making money and is very excited.

The Lu family’s workshop has made many families in the village wealthy. Most families are happy and thinking that they can have a prosperous year this year, but some families can’t even afford to eat.

Just like Qian Daniu’s family.

Qian Daniu’s family has never been very wealthy, mainly because the family has a small population and the family members are relatively lazy.

Especially after what happened to Lu Xiaoyang, Mrs. Li was also very angry with Qian Tieshu and stopped helping with things in the fields from that time on.

Qian Tieshu was so depressed that he found it boring to manage it by himself and began to rot it. As a result, a lot of crops in the field were wasted. Before, when the farming was busy, he was not able to take it home in time. Later, it was better. Most of them were reared in the fields.

In this way, the already poor family is even worse.

When Qian’s calf was broken, he was in a bad mood. There was a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel for two days, and the family almost broke up.

“If I can’t take care of so much of the fields at home, I’ll just sell them all. I’m still so young. If my legs are so useless, how can I get a wife in the future?”

Qian Daniu had been thinking about selling the land for a long time. He wanted to sell it when he first came back, but Li and Qian Tiezhu didn't agree, so they put it off until now.

Nowadays, let alone money at home, it is food surplusThey can't even take it out. If they still hold on to these pieces of land, I'm afraid the family of three won't be able to survive the New Year.

"What are you talking about? The fields are the lifeblood of the family. I will go to your eldest and second sister's house to borrow some grain. After this winter, I will take good care of it next spring, and I will definitely live a good life. ”

Mrs. Li subconsciously refused. Most of the food spoiled in the fields before, which made her very distressed. If she had not had an quarrel with the dead old man before, it would not have become like this. After what happened, she I regret it, but there is no regret medicine to take.

“You talk about looking for the eldest and second sisters every day, but when did you see them come back? How long have you been telling them about my injury? Not to mention borrowing money, I haven’t even seen anyone! How long have you been looking at my legs, and they still look like this? What if I can’t get a wife in the future? Don’t you want grandchildren?”

The two girls married into the Qian family are considered filial. Yes, after being married for many years, I occasionally supplement my natal family.

But in this era, if a married daughter keeps using things from her husband’s family to supplement her parents’ family, she will be scolded in the spine. Therefore, the two girls from the Qian family have had fewer interactions with their parents’ family in the past two years. of dealings.

So much so that Qian Daniu was injured and didn’t come to visit him for such a long time.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li didn’t feel very good. They said that married daughters throw water away, and they were right. The two daughters obviously didn’t want to associate with their parents’ families. Their only My younger brother was so injured that he didn't even come to visit him with food or money.

Thinking of this, my son was the most reliable, so I started to hesitate a little. I looked at Qian Tieshu and said in a consulting tone: "Master, for the sake of my son, you see..."
