Chapter 329 Weaving Success
"Third brother, go to sleep first! You have to ride back to Baocheng County tomorrow. You must be tired from the journey. You should have a good rest today!" Shen Wanning looked into Lin Jingyou's eyes and said.
Lin Jingyou shook his head. "I'm not sleepy yet. I'll stay with you until the live broadcast is over and then go back! It's okay, just go live!"
Seeing that Lin Jingyou insisted on staying with her here, Shen Wanning no longer refused. She directly opened the live broadcast and continued to draw netizens to help them.
Unconsciously, an hour passed quickly. Shen Wanning turned off the live broadcast and urged, "Okay, Third Brother, go back and rest!"
Lin Jingyou turned around and looked at his phone, only to see the screen was black. He knew that netizens could not see what was happening on their side.
He leaned over and kissed Shen Wanning again. This time it was just a light kiss, and before Shen Wanning could say anything, he left quickly.
"Okay, I remember, this is called a goodnight kiss in your world, right?" Lin Jingyou applied what he learned. He had just seen a goodnight kiss on a video and was using it now.
"Third brother doesn't want to learn good things, but only learns these... these..." After talking for a long time, Shen Wanning couldn't make sense, so she had to push Lin Jingyou and let him go back to his room to sleep.
Lin Jingyou pretended to be surprised, "What's wrong with a goodnight kiss? I think this is pretty good, isn't it?"
"I'm sleepy, Third brother, go back and rest!" Shen Wanning pretended to yawn and pushed Lin Jingyou out.
Lin Jingyou knew Shen Wanning was shy, but he didn't expose her. He just patted her head, told her to have a good rest, and left.
Lin Jingyou breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't meet Aunt Zhang this time.
The next morning, before daybreak, many people carried hoes and shovels to the fields to dig sweet potatoes.
However, the Lin family was not worried about sweet potatoes, they were worried about weaving.
After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, Shen Wanning saw that they had moved the loom to the middle of the yard. Aunt Zhang was standing next to the loom with a basket of thread, not knowing where to start.
The three little ones were not yet in school, so Lin Jiang was explaining to Aunt Zhang how to use a loom. Since he could make a loom, he naturally knew how it worked.
They were busy at the loom, and Lin Jingyou sat aside with the book "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", pretending to study it.
"Mom, please sit down first, then pass the wooden shuttle through here, and then pull the horizontal piece of wood in front of you..." Lin Jingyou put the book aside and slowly explained to Aunt Zhang according to the steps he saw in the video yesterday.
Aunt Zhang was uneasy. She tried it according to Lin Jingyou's instructions and asked nervously, "Is that so?"
"Mom, you did a great job, that's it. Try it again, try a few more times, and you will be able to weave the cloth." Lin Jingyou praised.
"Is it really okay for me to do this? Is there any step I did wrong? Can the cloth be woven like this?" Aunt Zhang was still a little worried, and her brows were never relaxed.
"Mom, it's okay. Take your time. Just follow the steps just now and try a few more times." Shen Wanning walked over and encouraged.
She watched a weaving video with Lin Jingyou last night, and she knew that Aunt Zhang's steps were correct.
"Okay, since Lao San and Wan Ning said so, I'll try again." After saying that, Aunt Zhang plucked up her courage and followed the previous steps, slowly moving the wooden shuttle back and forth.
Lin Jiang said from the side, "Grandma is amazing. She learned to weave so quickly. According to the design principle of the loom, this is how weave."
Hearing everyone say this, Aunt Zhang felt relieved and shuttled the wooden shuttle back and forth again and again. As the number of shuttles increased, Aunt Zhang became more proficient and the speed of the wooden shuttle became faster and faster.
"Mom, you try weaving first. I'll go check on the sweet potatoes in the field and come back later." Shen Wanning said.
When she went out, Lin Jingyou followed closely and went out with her to see how the sweet potatoes were being dug outside.
There wasn't much work in the fields right now; everyone was out digging sweet potatoes. Some families had planted fewer sweet potatoes, but as the sun rose higher and the heat grew, they were already carrying their hoes and heading home.
Some families, with more sweet potatoes than usual, were outside digging them up, their heads covered with wet scarves to keep cool.
"Wan Ning is going to the county town tomorrow to discuss the sweet potato issue with Brother He?" Lin Jingyou asked.
"Well, some families who dig sweet potatoes quickly will probably finish their harvest in the next few days. I need to go and discuss this with Brother He soon. This matter might even need to be reported to the court, and then the court will issue an order. This round trip will probably take a month."
Speaking of this, Shen Wanning felt a little melancholy. She didn't know if the villagers could wait for a month. She was afraid that the villagers would not be able to wait and eat all the sweet potatoes.
"There's no need to worry too much. Since Brother He told you about this before, the court must have had a countermeasure long ago. When Wan Ning goes, you might as well ask Brother He first." Lin Jingyou comforted.
This wasn't entirely consolation, but rather a guess that the imperial court should have issued an order long ago. However, the sweet potatoes were planted late last year, so they ripened late as well. Perhaps County Magistrate He didn't expect the sweet potatoes to ripen so early this year, so he hadn't sent anyone to report the matter.
"Well, let's wait until I meet Brother He tomorrow to see what the situation is. If Mother can weave cloth with the loom today, then we can report on both the loom and the spinning wheel. By the way, the corn planted on the farm in the county town should be almost ripe." Shen Wanning counted the various things she had to do recently, one by one.
Lin Jingyou paused, turned his head to look at Shen Wanning, and said with heartache, "Wanning has to take care of so many things at home, thank you for your hard work."
Shen Wanning shook her head. "These are things I enjoy doing, so I don't find it hard at all. Third brother, please don't treat me like an ordinary woman who only likes to embroider and listen to music in the backyard. I am very happy to be able to do something within my ability to help everyone."
Of course, there was one thing she didn't say. In ancient times, imperial power was supreme and class consciousness was serious. She had to fight for some interests for herself in order to feel safe.
"Even if it's something you like, you should know when to stop and not overwork yourself," Lin Jingyou warned.
Shen Wanning nodded. "Third brother, the same thing. When I left this time, I didn't expect that he wouldn't be done with his work even at this late hour. Third brother is alone in Baocheng County. Please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Lin Jingyou patted her head and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother knows. The sun is getting higher and higher, it's too hot. Let's go back quickly to avoid getting sunburned."
