Chapter 32
Weaving Bamboo Baskets
Yu Hong was angry at the side, but Yu Su had already started a new job.
Yesterday, they were weeding. Today, they were learning how to weave bamboo baskets from the old craftsmen in the village. They would weave today and sell them in town tomorrow. The money they sold would all belong to them. They could use it to buy food or daily necessities. How they handled it was up to them.
Yu Su watched attentively as the old man in front of her quickly weaved the bamboo strips with his fingers. She could not help but admire him in her heart. Although the bamboo strips had already been processed, it was still very painful to the hands. However, the old man did not wear gloves and was still unafraid of pain. He was agile and fast. It had really taken decades of polishing to achieve this.
The others widened their eyes when they saw the old man’s actions. They held the bamboo strips in their hands and did not know how to start.
Helpless, everyone asked him to teach them slowly before they started to practice. However, they still felt that what they learned was useless.
Yu Su was still rather alright on this point. Her master was a person who had traveled the martial arts world in modern society and could predict things. Occasionally, he would bring her to some mountains to pick herbs. On normal days, the two of them would weave their own bamboo baskets too. Although it was not as complicated as the one in front of them, she still had some foundation.
After a few attempts and shameless questions, Yu Su finally grasped the key points and taught them to her three team members step by step.
“Yu Su, why do I feel like you know everything? You can even learn such a difficult bamboo basket in one go.”
Meng Xi’s eyes continuously stared at Yu Su’s fingers. She imitated her actions and arranged her bamboo strips, but she still felt that the ones she made were different from Yu Su’s.
“That’s right, Yu Su. You’re simply a talented girl. There’s only things that I can’t think of and nothing you can’t learn.” Ding Chen was someone who took time to warm up. In the past two days, he had become much closer to everyone and spoke more intimately.
“It’s not as exaggerated as you make it out to be. I learned this from my adoptive father when I was young. I have some foundation. Try it more. You’ll definitely be better than me later.”
Yu Su felt that ever since she came to this show, her friends around her were really not stingy with their praises, unlike the Yu family. Even if she learned how to cook, her parents and brothers would just deem it as actions she made just to fight for their favor from Yu Miao.
“They’re not wrong. You’re really good.”
Xiao Han did not raise his head. He was seriously fiddling with the bamboo strips in his hand. Although his hand was injured, compared to many people, his hand was more agile. However, even so, facing these bamboo strips gave him a headache.
Yu Su followed the voice and looked in his direction. Although Xiao Han had his head lowered, she could still see his serious expression.
This was also what Yu Su admired about him. He had clearly been pampered since he was young, and it could be seen that he did not really want to participate in this show at the beginning. However, he would be 100% serious in everything he did. Compared to Yu Ruo, whose status was inferior to his, this advantage was even more obvious.
“Don’t use so much force. You’ll cut your hand.”
Seeing that he was trying his best to bend the bamboo strip and pierce it into a small hole, Yu Su hurriedly reminded him. Then, she got up and squatted beside him. Her fingers gently pinched the head of the bamboo strip and pulled it back. Then, she bent it slightly and easily passed through the hole that Xiao Han had spent a lot of effort to pass through.
“Look, sometimes it’s not necessarily good to be strong. You need to use some skill. Although you’re wearing gloves, this material is very sharp and it injures easily.”
Xiao Han looked at Yu Su’s face. She was very close to him, and there was a faint fragrance on her body. As the mountain wind blew into his nostrils, his ears involuntarily turned red. “Yes, I’ll try again.”
Yu Su combed her hair behind her ear and nodded. “You have to be careful.”
“Yes, I’ll be careful.”
Xiao Han did not raise his head from the beginning to the end, and Yu Su did not stare at him, so she did not notice his red face and ears.
On the other side, Ye Chang watched the interaction between the two of them and felt extremely uncomfortable. He subconsciously exerted force and his finger was cut by the bamboo strip.
“Brother Ye Chang, your hand is bleeding.”
Seeing this, Yu Miao cried out in surprise, attracting Yu Su’s attention. However, she only glanced at it indifferently before lowering her head to weave her bamboo basket.
What happened to Ye Chang had nothing to do with her.
“I’m fine.” There was no warmth in Ye Chang’s voice as he casually replied to Yu Miao.
However, the way he looked at Yu Su was inadvertently caught by Yu Miao.
Yu Miao’s gaze turned fierce. Even if she didn’t want her things anymore, she wouldn’t allow Yu Su to touch them. Moreover, Ye Chang was currently one of her favorite toys.
