Chen Xiayue is learning how to make medicine bags. She not only bought medicine bag making books from 21st Century, but also bought medicine bag making videos from Aners.
In addition to stink grass, other medicinal materials must be added, such as mugwort, lavender, etc. Chen Xiayue is learning how to match them.
The scent of stink grass is definitely not that strong, and even the smell of mugwort is a bit stronger than the smell of stink grass, but its effect in getting rid of mosquitoes is indeed very strong.
Chen Xiayue still hopes that the medicine bag will smell more fragrant. It is not the smell of artificial flavors or some strong-scented flowers. The medicinal fragrance is also very good.
Chen Xiayue doesn¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with learning to make medicine bags, and there¡¯s nothing wrong with learning a skill. Her previous experience in learning embroidery was not very good. Her talent was not in embroidery, but in painting, which made her progress faster.
Now that she is learning to make medicine bags, she feels that she is more suitable for this skill of matching medicinal materials according to recipes to make medicine bags, because the things she embroiders have no aura, and making medicine bags does not require her to create anything.
She just needs to make it step by step and follow the existing steps. She doesn't need to create new recipes or anything. She thinks it's great.
¡°And medicine and food come from the same source. She likes the feeling of cooking, and of course she also likes the combination of medicinal materials. When she was learning to make medicine bags, her enthusiasm was even higher than when she was learning embroidery and painting before.
Zhang Chengchuan was very pleased to see her so happy and excited. His wife was not so happy when she was learning embroidery before. Although she knew that she was learning a skill, she was not that interested because she was not talented.
She knows how to do embroidery very well, and she also likes those beautiful embroideries, but it's a pity that she doesn't know how to do it, and she doesn't have that kind of talent. But it's different now. Her talent in making medicine bags is still good, and it's what interests her.
"If you like making medicine bags, that's fine, but what about the online embroidery class you bought before?" Zhang Chengchuan asked, looking at Chen Xiayue who was learning how to prepare medicinal materials with great interest.
"Ah?" Chen Xiayue was stunned for a moment after hearing his question, then looked up at Zhang Chengchuan, "What should I do?"
"If you are more interested in making medicine bags, preparing medicinal materials, etc., I have no objection, but you don't want to continue learning embroidery, right? What about the online embroidery class you bought?" Zhang Chengchuan sat down next to her and looked at He said to her.
"Ahthis is a question." Chen Xiayue thought for a while and said, "We know how things like online courses came about, so we can learn by ourselves, but we can't learn from others, right?"
"Then store it in the optical brain first, and then take it out when you have the opportunity?" Zhang Chengchuan said.
"That's the only way it can be, right? Anyway, with our environment and technological level, how can we explain it with an online course video?"
"There are also embroidery books. You bought a lot of fabrics, needlework and various embroidery books. What should you do?"
"Give the fabric and needle and thread to Mom. My mother and sister-in-law in my family's home definitely don't have time to embroider, and they don't know how to embroider. Give it to Mom or my eldest sister. My eldest sister should be good at embroidery, right?" Chen Xiayue asked.
"Yeah." Zhang Chengchuan nodded. Zhang Chengyu has been learning embroidery from her ethnic minority mother since she was a child. It is Liu Guiying's embroidery from her own ethnic group. Although it is not as good as Su embroidery and Shu embroidery, it is not bad.
Zhang Chengchuan's embroidery skills are better than Liu Guiying's. She didn't have a job after she got married in the town. Apart from occasionally working as a temporary worker, she mostly made clothes for her family, did embroidery, and did housework outside the home. She also needs to be busy.
"If the eldest sister is good at embroidery, give her these embroidery books, some fabrics and needlework, and let her learn how to embroider." Chen Xiayue thought for a while, and it would be good to let the eldest sister also have a skill.
Although the eldest aunt married into the town, she does not have a formal job. Moreover, the eldest aunt¡¯s husband¡¯s family is not separated like the Zhang family, nor does it want everyone to have a job and a house like Chen Xiayue¡¯s mother¡¯s family.
Zhang Chengyu¡¯s family lived with his parents-in-law, uncles and grandmothers. The house was neither too big nor too small, but it was almost unlivable.
¡°After all, Zhang Chengyu and his wife have two children, and Zhang Chengyu¡¯s husband¡¯s family has three uncles, and they also have many children. Such a large family cannot live in a house of several tens of square meters.
If Zhang Chengyu has his own skills and relies on his embroidery skills to exchange money at the supply and marketing cooperative, he shouldShould you be able to afford renting a house with your brother-in-law?
"Eldest sister, don't they have the idea of ??dividing the family yet?" Chen Xiayue also knew that her eldest sister's family would not be able to live in the house anymore when her husband's family grew.
And Zhang Chengyu¡¯s mother-in-law¡¯s family is not like her mother¡¯s family, where everyone has a job. Zhang Chengyu¡¯s mother-in-law¡¯s job is given to her second son, and her father-in-law¡¯s job is given to her eldest son. Only Zhang Chengyu earned her man's job.
¡°The women in Zhang Chengyu¡¯s husband¡¯s family are now unemployed. Therefore, it is difficult for three workers to support a family of more than ten people.
"How is it possible to separate the family?" Zhang Chengchuan sighed, "There are only three workers in their family. What will happen to the others if the family is separated? My brother-in-law and his younger brother have no jobs yet."
"You said that if the family is separated, the brother-in-law and eldest sister can support their family of four. But what about the others? Especially the brother-in-law and his brother's family who have no job, who will support them?" Zhang Chengchuan frowned.
His brother-in-law is a good person. It was also because his sister-in-law was of good character and capable, and the eldest sister liked him, so the marriage was completed.
The Hu family has a heavy burden. Even though they are urbanites in the town, their lives are no better than others. The first year or two after Zhang Chengyu's marriage was good, but later Liu Guiying and Zhang Deping regretted it.
The other members of the Hu family have no jobs, so wouldn¡¯t there be a lot of conflicts if they get together? It's not like the country people who still have land and can work every day, so they don't have so much time to have conflicts. A group of women from the Hu family have nothing to do but have all kinds of fights.
Zhang Chengyu is very capable. Even if she does not have a formal job, she can always find temporary workers. However, it is different for the other sisters-in-law.
Zhang Chengyu¡¯s ability made them look useless. The Hu family¡¯s sister-in-law felt that her authority as the sister-in-law had been challenged, and she was definitely the first to deal with Zhang Chengyu.
If it weren¡¯t for the protection of her brother-in-law Hu Zhengjun and the toughness of Zhang Chengyu herself, the couple might have lived like little pitiful people.
Zhang Chengyu can subsidize her younger brother with money she earned herself. Zhang Chengyu paid for her family expenses and gave the remaining money to her younger brother. Hu Zhengjun didn't have any objections.
¡°After all, his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law didn¡¯t pay that much, why did his wife have to pay so much? His wife is capable, so why should she hand over all the money she earns?
Although Zhang Chengyu married a glamorous man in the town and was able to support his younger brother from time to time, only she knew the pain behind it.
Zhang Chengchuan later found out and subsidized his eldest sister from time to time. The eldest sister has worked so hard to subsidize him, so he can't be so reckless as to pretend that this is not the case. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
