"This kind of thing needs to be smashed with a wooden mallet, repeatedly. This way, it can be smashed away the hardness and make it soft. We then roll it into a stream of threads and then synthesize it into a hemp rope, which is very strong and easy to use."

"These are going to be smashed again. This is very soft and gentle for making clothes."

Piaomiao silently lowered her head to do things as she guided her mother-in-law.

Behind her was a house that strengthened and repaired the dilapidated house. There were no idle people in the yard because it was getting dark, and those people went back to their sleeping places and went to bed. Her eyesight was better than those of these people, and she still insisted on staying in the yard and seriously messing with these poles.

"Where did you find this person?" Mr. Xu asked Tian Xiaobao.

"He turned out to be a beggar here. He met him at the intersection of East Street today. He had no place to go, but it was obvious that he was driven out by his master's house and was encountered by me."

"This man hasn't committed any crime, right?"

"Don't worry. Mr. Xu, I still have the eyesight."

"Yes, this person has such good eyesight, hardworking and careful work. We have an extra general in charge of doing things here."

"Even if it is so late, and it's so dark outside, he has to rest early and get up early to work tomorrow," said Tian Xiaobao.

"He is very stubborn. Someone has advised him, but it doesn't work. Maybe you said it's useful."

"You go back to bed quickly and I'll talk to him."

Tian Xiaobao watched as the manager closed the door and walked towards Piaomiao by himself.

There is a moon hanging high in the night sky, and the moon has only a narrow corner, which makes the night sky not have much light. Piaomiao nests there like a small black shadow. He holds a wooden hammer and smashes it with a monotonous sound.

"Piaomiao, stop doing it, you will get up early tomorrow."

“…”

"Piaomiao, are you worried about it? When you come here, you can tell me with confidence. I think I still have the ability to analyze it for you."

"Do you know what to do?"

"Do it? Don't live a good life, and make a fuss about turning a good life into a bad life. This is called."

“What is a good life?”

"We all think that we don't have to worry about food and clothing. We have a house when it rains, we have beds when we are sleepy, and we have money when we spend money. This is a good life."

"You said that there is no relationship between men and women in a good life."

"Men-woman relationship? You mentioned marriage. People here first think about how to make themselves easier, and they will think of longer-term needs? For us, marriage is to give birth to the next generation, continue our bloodline on our behalf, and let us have such a long relationship. However, we still rely on each other to live together to make our lives better, and there is still money to talk about marriage? When these children grow up, one of the girls will always become my bride. I just need to work hard and live seriously. At that time, I can make my bride better, let my bride live better, and let my children live better, and let our children easily pass on our bloodlines."

"You know so much."

"I don't have much money to spend. Listen to the stories told by the storyteller in the teahouse and listen to the words of the teachers who teach these children. Over time, I will be able to understand what they mean. What you said must be the meaning of the people in the aristocratic circle. They are different from people like us. What they naturally think of, say, etc. are all profound."

"How are they different from you? They also have a demand for food, clothing and food."

"You see, the clothes they wear are more delicate, soft and luxurious than ours; the food they eat is more versatile than the ones we eat, and it pays more attention to taste, taste, nutrition, etc.; the house they live in must also have a garden and a hall, so we only have a place to sleep."

"so?"

"So, what you said is that good life is just a good life."

"Who is the one who made this referee? You? Or them?"

“…”

"There must be someone who made the referee, otherwise, how could this writing be spit out of her mouth with confidence?"

"She? Is she your master's house? What did you do to make your master so disappointed with you?"

"Disappointed? Very interesting disappointment. What does my relationship with her? Can she disappoint me?"

"Aren't you close?"

"She once asked someone to beat me to death."

"...Aren't you dead? Are you scaring you?"

"I was saved, that's because she didn't dare to mess with anyone."

"Why do you care about someone who wants your life?"

"Care? I don't understand why she said to me with confidence."

"If so, you have to recall carefully, what she said in the end, what you care about."

"Um."

"Let's rest."

"Um."

It was light and the children ran out, chasing the adults working, playing and laughing.

Piaomiao opened her eyes and looked at the mottled walls. She could still feel a familiar feeling in her body. She turned over and sat up, saw the empty house, remembering what Tian Xiaobao said last night, and thought that this person was her confidant. She searched for him in front of and behind the room, but couldn't find him. When she found out, he went to fetch water.

The few trees in front of the door were small trees of few years. The children who were playing carefully avoided these trees and also avoided her standing under the trees.

"Why are you standing here? Have you not cooked breakfast yet?" Tian Xiaobao walked over with two buckets of water one after another on his shoulder.

Piaomiao stepped forward and carried the bucket of water behind Tian Xiaobao, holding the rope with one hand so that the bucket of water in front would not pour out.

"Not heavy. Did you sleep well last night?" Tian Xiaobao asked with a smile.

"fine."

"After breakfast, you were still making money in the place you arranged. I agreed with the manager to give you money according to the same piece-based standards as us. Our wages are one a day. If you come late, it is difficult to calculate. You can only give you money after seven days."

"No hurry."

"Yes. If you want to spend money, you can get it from me first. You are the one I brought in, and I won't let you suffer a loss."

"Um."

"You did it too late last night, which is not good for your eyes. If you want to do more and make more money, you should also pay attention to rest. Get up early and get ready to work."

"Um."

"I will go to deliver goods this afternoon. If you want to go out for a walk, go to deliver goods with me. Of course, doing this won't make you useless."

"good."

"You are really interesting. You either don't say it or jump out word by word. Your master must be because of this and doesn't like you."

"ah?"

"Look. I guess right. People's mouths are for talking..."

"Oh, Xiaobao is teaching again? Young man, don't be afraid of him. This is his mouth. Look at the children here are hiding from him." The mother-in-law who taught her yesterday rolled up her sleeves and walked out.

"Grandma Lu, I've been very careful. The official gave us a lifelong job so that we can support ourselves with our own labor, and we should be grateful."

"Yes. Thank you. If my family's case can be solved, I will worship them, burn incense in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening, so that they can know how I am grateful devoutly."

"Lu Po, the meal is ready, haven't you called someone to come in for dinner yet?"

"Scream. Scream. It's time to start! It's time to start! It's too lazy but I don't eat enough!"

"Grandma, I did a lot of work yesterday, you saw it." A strong and dark-skinned man ran over.

"Hoho, I saw it, everyone saw it, it can't be fake. This time you have eggs to eat."

"Grandma, I...I." A little boy said timidly. He was the last one to come in.

Tian Xiaobao picked him up and said, "You were sick yesterday and helped grandma sweep the floor?! This meal will definitely make you full."

"Come on, I'll hold it, grandma will give you an egg."

"Piaomiao, why don't you go in, you will have your share," said Tian Xiaobao.

Piaomiao pointed at the man in his thirties and looked vicissitudes of life standing in the middle of the yard.

"He is not our own business. Let's ask for blessings." Tian Xiaobao's voice increased by octave.

“…”

The man did not hesitate and strode forward, but was stopped by Tian Xiaobao.

"How can he have a meal just now? I can't? Get up, I want to eat too." The man's stinking breath rushed over.
