Chapter 200 What skills does Captain Xu want to teach? (Subscribe)

A few people continued to lay bricks for a while, and then Gu Yun went to cook dinner.

Jiang Ruyue and Xu Ye were the only two people left in the homestead.

"When will this house be completed and ready for people to live in?" Jiang Ruyue looked at Xu Ye lovingly.

She didn't expect that Xu Ye was so brave and was not afraid that Jiang Ruoan would come over.

"Soon, after the outer wall is built, we can build the brick walls of the partitions."

“Once everything is built, the formwork will be used to pour the second floor floor.”

“After pouring, it can be demolished in ten days or so, and the walls of the first floor can be painted.”

"After painting the walls, we can paint the white lime and harden the floor. We can move in after a few days."

Nowadays, the materials used are simpler and there are fewer harmful substances.

The main consideration was that there was no vibrator, otherwise Xu Ye would have poured the second floor floor together with the concrete, which would have been faster.

Jiang Ruyue calculated, and then said resentfully: "Then it will take at least twenty days, right?"

"Roughly the same……"

This time is indeed a bit long, but for safety reasons he thinks it should be longer.

Rushing the work will affect the quality of the house.

So, I can't do anything.

This is not only true for building a house, but also for love.

Although it was getting dark, the two were not in a hurry at all.

Compared to others, Jiang Ruyue has more experience in the outdoors.

Half an hour later, Jiang Ruyue left.

After all, Gu Yun had already prepared dinner and directly called Xu Ye to come back for dinner in the house.

After dinner, Yang Hehua brought more than thirty women to the Li family.

For a time, it attracted countless people to watch.

"Oh my god, is Xu Ye going to have a talent show?"

"I just counted and there are 36 of them. This is the first time I've seen a blind date like this. It's so shocking."

"Isn't he really afraid of eating peanuts?"

"What are you guys thinking about? What blind date? My sister and the others are going there to learn a craft."

"Learn a craft? What craft? Why don't you ask us to learn it?"

"That's right, why don't you call our wife?"

"Director Yang selected the candidates. He said they had to be literate or have attended literacy classes."

When they heard that they had to learn to read, many people fell silent.

Literacy classes have always been held, but few people are willing to attend them.

After all, many people feel that they are already tired enough and have to spend time studying at night. It would be better for them to rest at home or do some housework.

Now, I don’t even have the chance to learn skills.

“Is it too late to go to literacy classes now?”

"Yeah, if I learn to read now, can I still learn a craft?"

"Is there anyone who wants to go and ask? Xu Ye is the captain of the secondary team. Shouldn't he teach everyone?"

"Go, go, go, go ask. I can learn too. Why can't I learn?"

"Since he's the captain of the sideline, it's his job to teach everyone, right?"

Everyone talked at once and rushed towards the Li family.

However, Yang Hehua had anticipated this situation and was already guarding the door of Li's house.

"Director Yang, we also want to learn a skill. How can we learn it?" someone came up and asked directly.

Yang Hehua had a smile on her face and a look of approval in her eyes, and it was obvious that she had anticipated the villagers' enthusiastic response.

She patiently explained: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. This craft learning is mainly aimed at women with a certain cultural foundation. The purpose is to enable everyone to master a practical skill and increase family income."

"After all, one more skill means one more guarantee for life."

"Director Yang, although we have never attended formal literacy classes, we are willing to learn. Is it too late to learn now?" a middle-aged woman asked anxiously, her eyes flashing with desire and expectation.

Yang Hehua nodded and encouraged, "Of course, it's never too late to learn. I will arrange for people to continue to open literacy classes in the village. As long as everyone is willing to learn, they can sign up to participate."

"Once everyone has a certain cultural foundation, we will select some people to participate in this craft learning based on their personal interests and performance."

There was a burst of discussion among the crowd, and many people showed joy on their faces and expressed their desire to sign up for the literacy class.

"Director Yang, when do we start class?" Another voice sounded, full of urgency.

"It will start tomorrow. I'll post a notice."

"Learning requires persistence and patience. I hope everyone can cherish this opportunity and work together." Yang Hehua's words were full of power, as if to instill confidence in everyone.

After hearing this, the villagers nodded in agreement. Some of them even started discussing how to mobilize their families to attend the literacy classes after returning home in the evening.

At this time, Xu Ye walked out of the house and saw the crowd gathered at the door. He smiled and nodded to everyone.

His appearance made the already lively atmosphere even more lively. "Captain Xu, we also want to learn the craft, can you give us a chance?" Someone directly asked Xu Ye.

Xu Ye smiled and replied: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to learn and work hard, opportunities will always be reserved for those who are prepared."

"Director Yang has made very thoughtful arrangements. If everyone follows her instructions, I believe we will see results soon."

At this time, literacy is also an important task of the school.

If the literacy rate is high, they will also receive some recognition and substantial rewards accordingly.

So, when Yang Hehua brought people here just now and asked Xu Ye to cooperate with the literacy work, Xu Ye immediately supported it.

When everyone heard Xu Ye's words, they immediately felt more comfortable.

"Then we won't disturb your class. We'll come back when it's our turn."

"Captain Xu is fair in his work. If only he had been appointed as the vice captain earlier, we would have had a good life a long time ago."

"That's right. Now the people in the construction team live a comfortable life in the county. They can eat white rice every day."

"Okay, let's go back first. Captain Xu still has to go to class." As they spoke, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Seeing that everyone had left, Yang Hehua followed in.

She also wants to learn, after all, having one more skill is a great thing.

The back hall was crowded with women.

Jiang Ruoan did not come to avoid suspicion, but Jiang Ruyue came.

There are many kerosene lamps hung in the back hall so that everyone can see clearly.

Xu Ye did not use the electric light because he did not want to reveal the fact that there was electricity in his home.

Right now, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue don’t know that they can use electricity at home.

As soon as Xu Ye appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Now everyone knows that Jiang Ruoan is determined to divorce Xu Ye and has refused to meet him until now.

If I could fall in love with Xu Ye, I could live a good life in the future.

After all, Xu Ye is not only talented, but also very handsome.

Xu Ye used to be too thin and looked very elegant and delicate.

It’s different now. He looks much stronger and has more flesh on his face. He looks very handsome.

Among them, many girls often dream of Xu Ye at night.

When they heard that they could learn skills from Xu Ye, they were all very excited.

Xu Ye was standing while they were sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He looked around at everyone before he spoke: "Today, I am going to teach you how to weave straw."

Straw weaving is still very common among the people, and some women in the village have learned it from their ancestors.

However, what they can compile is relatively limited, and no one specializes in studying this.

"I believe that there should be some of you who can weave things with various grasses." As he said this, Xu Ye glanced around at everyone.

"I, I can weave a basket."

"I can, too. I can weave baskets and mats, but I'm not very good at it."

Several people raised their hands one after another, saying that they could weave.

"Tonight, we mainly learned how to weave straw hats, which is quite popular in the county."

"If everyone can master it, our village will build a straw hat factory."

Hearing Xu Ye's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

If I could make money by weaving straw hats, my life would definitely improve and everyone in my family would have enough food to eat without having to worry about going hungry.

Xu Ye took out a stack of processed hay from a basket beside him. The hay was soft and flexible in texture and uniform in color, making it very suitable for weaving.

He first divided the hay into several bundles, and then demonstrated the basic steps of weaving a straw hat.

"First, we need to cross-weave the hay into the base, which is the basic part of the straw hat, and it needs to be woven tightly and firmly."

Xu Ye explained and demonstrated at the same time, his fingers nimbly moving through the hay. After a while, a round base appeared in front of everyone.

The women watched intently, and a few of them were so anxious that they couldn't wait to pick up the hay and try it. Although their movements were a little clumsy, their seriousness and enthusiasm were touching.

"Don't be anxious, take your time. You won't be very skilled at the beginning." Xu Ye encouraged patiently. He walked to several beginners and guided them step by step to adjust the position of the hay and the weaving strength.

As time went on, the atmosphere in the room became more and more lively. The women either lowered their heads and concentrated on weaving, or discussed techniques with each other, and occasionally there were a few crisp laughs.

Xu Ye shuttled back and forth between them, giving guidance and suggestions from time to time to ensure that everyone could keep up with the progress.

"Next, we will start weaving the hat body. This step requires more patience and meticulousness." Xu Ye picked up the hay again and demonstrated how to gradually weave the hay on the base upwards to form the outline of the straw hat.

While weaving, he explained the key points and precautions of weaving to ensure that everyone could understand and master it.

After more than an hour of hard work, the first finished product was finally born.

Although this straw hat is a bit rough, it is full of a sense of accomplishment.

The woman who successfully weaved a straw hat had a proud smile on her face, and people around her looked at her with envy.

"Look, it's actually not that difficult. As long as you practice more, you can weave a beautiful straw hat." Xu Ye picked up the straw hat, showed it to everyone, and encouraged everyone at the same time.
