Chapter 13 Repair

Jiang Xiaowen came back a little late. He just finished planting the wild vegetables he dug up. In addition to giving the corn paste to Jiang Xiaoya, Jiang Xiaoxin also ate it up in bites and bites.

Since there was no corn paste left for Jiang Xiaowen, it was natural to give him more fish meat and fish soup.

 Even if Jiang Xiaoxin thought the corn mush was delicious, he would regret it to death.

Why is he eating so much cornmeal? Isn’t fish delicious?

Jiang Xiaoxin, who was so angry that he ran to get water again, poured all the water he got back on the planted plants.

 Just because there is no big container, running from one trip to another is still a drop in the bucket.

 Li Jing was too lazy to care about Jiang Xiaoxin's silly behavior. She hugged Jiang Xiaoya and fed her some food, and then began to teach her to walk.

 Put her on the flat ground and let her walk slowly behind her. The little girl jostled and staggered, and Li Jing didn't help her.

 However, one large and one small are in indescribable harmony.

Jiang Xiaowen drank the fish soup left by his brother and watched quietly, and the beauty of the quiet years gradually filled his heart.

 The next day.

Jiang Xiaowen was awakened by the sound of clanking. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Xiaoxin put on his shoes and ran outside.

Jiang Xiaoxin only wore a pair of trousers, and her body was as thin as ribs and was eye-catching.

Next to her is Jiang Xiaoya who has not yet woken up. The little girl was too energetic last night and stayed awake all night, but now she sleeps soundly.

 The stepmother who was sleeping on the ground disappeared.

Jiang Xiaowen glanced outside and found that it was not bright yet, so he pulled the quilt to cover Jiang Xiaoya, quickly pulled his clothes and put them on, and walked out.

After leaving the door, Jiang Xiaowen realized where the tinkling sound came from.

Stepmother was tinkering with the rusty kitchen knife to repair the tables and chairs.

The damaged tables and chairs had been used by the Jiang family for many years. Several of the legs of the square table were broken. The chairs were made using the mortise and tenon technique. The inlays were not good and they were very loose. They would fall apart from time to time. In addition, the table top and chair surface were seriously damaged. It was damaged, so I stayed in the thatched house. Previously, Jiang Xiaowen and others used wooden sticks to support it, which was barely usable. After Li Jing bumped into it, the tabletop cracked in two, and one of the chair legs was broken. It really couldn't be used without repair.

 “Can it be repaired?”

Jiang Xiaoxin was pestering Li Jing to ask, but his hand had already picked up the chair legs that Li Jing had remade from tree trunks.

He put the broken chair legs together and compared them with the new ones. He found that they were exactly the same, and he exclaimed "Wow".

 “You, have you studied carpentry?”

Li Jing did not raise her head, but replied lightly: "No!"

However, this did not affect Jiang Xiaoxin's enthusiasm at all. He looked full of admiration, "Then why do you think you are better than Uncle Huzi? Uncle Huzi also uses an ax and other tools, how can you do it with a kitchen knife?"

knife?

Jiang Xiaowen glanced at the kitchen knife that was once Jiang Xiaoxin's most precious possession in Li Jing's hand, and opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.

Using a kitchen knife to chop wood, I don’t know how many gaps will be created. My brother only repaired the tables and chairs, and now he didn’t realize that something was going to happen to his precious knife!

Li Jing was filling the loose parts of the chair with small sawdust, using a kitchen knife to cut the inside, and repaired the chair until it was strong. Then she took the newly made chair legs and installed them at the tenon joints.

 “I’ll come, I’ll come, I’ll help you!”

Jiang Xiaoxin’s pair of black and sparkling eyes were already ready to move.

He has always wanted to learn carpentry, but unfortunately it is a craft that involves eating, and he has nowhere to learn it. Now he has the opportunity.

"Need not!"

Li Jing thought he was in the way, so she refused simply and inserted the chair legs in a few clicks.
