Chapter 4 Life! Follow-up! 】(1/2)
The population of Yinlian Village is 2,000, with a total of hundreds of families.
About one or two hundred years ago, some northerners came to the south and brought many cultures, customs, including surnames outside the southern border.
Because the northerners were powerful, there were many immortal masters and the people from the cave admired them, so each cave and village took surnames.
Zhao Qian, Sun and Li began to become popular.
With the education of immortal masters, changing customs and customs, the wilderness gradually became somewhat civilized among the wilderness.
Decades ago, the "Tianlin Immortal Master" in Tianlin Cave began to rule the three hundred cave villages around him, and it became more and more.
For example, marriage customs, etc., they all look decent.
However, there are not so many rules in a family like Meng Nan.
Moreover, both his parents died, and only his brother Mengba, his sister-in-law and three children were in the family.
Few people and few things.
"My sister-in-law is very good-natured, just nagging."
"If you live together forever, small friction will inevitably occur."
"But I'm starting a family now, so I won't live with me. A few days ago, I saw a piece of land and the location was pretty good. I'm going to get two houses there, and we'll move there at that time."
Meng Nan took Zhao Xiaoshuang's hand and walked out of the house, telling her about the situation at home and some plans for the future.
You don’t need to see the location of the new home, just set the bamboo forest.
But there is no bamboo forest there yet. It was planted by Meng Nan. He had to build the house and move it over before he could start to arrange it. There is no hurry now.
Talk.
Go out.
The sun rises.
Both of them got up late.
My eldest brother Mengba has been working long ago.
My sister-in-law was cooking pig grass with her three children at home. When she saw Meng Nan and Zhao Xiaoshuang come out, she shouted from the window: "Porridge and eggs are hot for you, come and eat it."
"Yo!"
"The couple got married just now and were so tired of it!"
My sister-in-law was named "Sun Mei". When she saw Meng Nan holding Zhao Xiaoshuang's hand, she showed a cramped smile on her face.
Zhao Xiaoshuang was so embarrassed that she quickly pulled out her little hand and called "Sister-in-law" to Sun Mei.
Sun Mei stopped joking.
...
The next few days.
Zhao Xiaoshuang was familiar with Yinlianzhai while working with Meng Nan—
Site selection.
Building a house.
Some of them were bought from Yinlian Village, and some were made by Meng Nan himself.
Only then did Zhao Xiaoshuang realize that Meng Nan was also good at carpenters and bamboo craftsmen's skills, which she had no idea before she got married.
And the craftsmanship is excellent.
"Hey!"
"Isn't this the new wife of Xiao Meng's family? Your basket is very special, brought from your cave?"
Meng Nan tried his best and weaved a few baskets and some exquisite gadgets such as bamboo dragonflies and bamboo grasshoppers, which were prepared to make a name for themselves and open up sales.
In the eight years of time and space, he had long been proficient in the craftsmanship of carpenters and bamboo craftsmen in the next eight years. At that time, he had the wisdom crystallization of his previous twelve years in his family. He learned these finished products and spent time practicing them. Now his craftsmanship is no worse than his peak period before his death twelve years later.
The craftsmanship is absolutely fine.
Zhao Xiaoshuang has been working hard these days and is busy. After Meng Nan made some bamboo products, she took the initiative to carry the basket and carry some dragonflies and grasshoppers, and walked around the Yinlian Village.
In name, I went to chat with the big girl, daughter-in-law, aunt and aunt in the village and get familiar with it.
But I can always sell a lot of baskets, dustpans and some small toys.
Although each of the three hundred cave villages in Tianlin Cave is relatively closed, it is for ordinary people. The internal Qi period and the true Qi period can still be limited to each other, so the connection between each cave village is quite good. In addition, the climate here is pleasant and rich in resources, and there will be no shortage of food and clothing.
The life of ordinary people is actually good.
Every family has more or less money and is willing to buy some exquisite bamboo products, or tables, chairs, benches, etc.
Ordinary people dare not leave the village, worrying about the poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and beasts outside. However, there are also people in the "internal Qi stage" or even the "true Qi stage" who rely on their outstanding cultivation, traveling to and from the three hundred cave villages, buying high and buying low, and making a lot of money.
"There are hundreds of families and thousands of families in our village. Every family customizes a set of furniture, which is enough to work hard."
"Even if every family behind them is complete, there are other villages."
"If you have such skills, your life will definitely be prosperous in the future."
That night, Zhao Xiaoshuang took out the deposit she collected today from her purse, a handful of copper coins and a few pieces of broken silver, which was quite a lot of money.
She put the money on the table and drank another sip of water. Her eyes and face were full of longing for the future and hope.
With craftsmanship, you won’t have to worry about your livelihood.
This made a big rock fall in her heart and she was happy all day long.
"It's been a day."
"Come here to soak your feet."
Meng Nan smiled and patted the bench beside him, greeting Zhao Xiaoshuang.
"Um."
Zhao Xiaoshuang has been familiar with Meng Nan for more than ten days, and she has a bit of an old couple in twelve years later. She sat down with a sound.
The couple was soaking their feet in hot water.
Wait for Zhao Xiaoshuang to sit down.
Meng Nan took out two more books from the bed beside him and handed them to Zhao Xiaoshuang, "You don't have to worry about food and clothing at home. You have plenty of free time in the future. You can practice with me when you have nothing to do. You can write any experiences and difficulties you encounter in this book, which may be helpful for your practice."
Meng Nan said, and asked again: "Are you interested in cultivating immortals?"
"Cultivate immortals!"
"Of course I'm interested."
Zhao Xiaoshuang looked at the notebook in her hand, then shook her head: "It's just that I don't have the qualifications to practice. After practicing for two years, I still have a 'fetal breathing feeling'."
Zhao Xiaoshuang’s so-called interest in cultivating immortals is not about becoming an immortal or becoming an ancestor, nor is she about exploring the mystery of the great way to understand the mystery of the world.
She only knows that success in practicing can make life better.
Even if you don’t become an immortal master, you can only be in the ‘True Qi stage’ or ‘True Yuan stage’, your life can be very different. In the original cave and in the current village, you are all big shots.
Cultivation has real benefits.
Of course she wants to practice and achieve success in her practice.
It’s just that practicing is too difficult. Zhao Xiaoshuang has practiced for two years and has not even reached the “visual realm”. If she continues to practice in this life, the most part is the “internal qi stage”, which is useless.
In addition, the influence of the original family and the people around him has already stopped the idea of practicing.
Most women have to do housework and live when they get married when they get married. Even if they have some leisure time and some spare money, which one is willing to use it to practice hard but can't see hope?
Zhao Xiaoshuang originally thought that she would do the same, and she would be ordinary in the future, so she should not talk about her practice.
but.
Look at Meng Nan's meaning—
"You want me to practice with you?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang held the notebook and hesitated: "It costs money to practice."
When practicing, you need to eat and drink well, and occasionally you have to buy some medicinal materials to assist you.
Just eating and drinking costs a lot.
Although Meng Nan has carpenter skills, he should be more than enough to practice by himself, but adding one more of her may not be possible.
In the future, the family will have to have children and three more. They will have to use money everywhere and they will have to save some.
All practice.
All spent.
What to do in the future?
Zhao Xiaoshuang thought more.
This side.
