Chapter 103
"Auntie, let us wash the dishes!" Cheng Donglai quickly cleaned up the dishes in front of him and said, "We eat so well, we would feel bad if we don't do some work for you."
"Well then!" Shen Hui'e put down the dishes in her hands and said, "If you want to clean up the dishes, then we'll go find Uncle Liu." Her eyes fell on her daughter again and said, "Go find the bamboo dragonfly."
"Hey!" The cat slave got up and ran into the house. When he came out, he had a bamboo dragonfly in his hand.
Facing Cheng Donglai and the others' puzzled looks, Shen Hui'e said, "You'll know when it's done." She smiled and shook her head, "I can't explain it to you now, you'll see for yourself when the time comes."
"Huang Er, let's go!" Shen Hui'e lowered her eyes and said to Huang Er, who was lying under the long table after eating and drinking.
“Woof woof…” Huang Er followed the three of them and walked out of the house.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, we are here again." Da Chong ran into Uncle Liu's yard and said to him while he was busy.
Liu Ding, covered in sawdust and shavings, looked up at them and said, "What are you going to do today?"
"Bamboo dragonfly." The raccoon girl waved at him while holding a bamboo dragonfly.
"What's wrong? This can't be played anymore." Liu Ding looked at her with a smile and said, "I'll make you ten or eight later."
"No, no!" Li Nu shook her head like a rattle and looked at him and said, "It's not that I want the bamboo dragonfly, it's my mother who needs it."
"Second sister-in-law? You are still playing with bamboo dragonflies!" Liu Ding stood up straight and looked at her with amusement.
"I'm having fun and I'm doing it in some new ways." Shen Hui'e looked at Liu Ding with her crystal clear eyes and said with a smile.
"What does second sister-in-law want to do?" Liu Ding looked at her with interest.
"It's like this. It's hot, so there are more flies. My meat stall has a strong smell, which attracts more flies." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her shiny black eyes and said, "The cow is swishing its tail to drive away the flies. If I use a fan to drive them away, my hand will be broken."
"But what does this have to do with the bamboo dragonfly?" Liu Ding looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.
"Tie strips of cloth on the two wings of this bamboo dragonfly. When you move the strips of cloth, they will fly up and drive away the flies." Shen Hui'e rubbed the bamboo dragonfly in her hand and it flew up and landed in the wood shavings not far away.
Liu Ding walked over, picked up the bamboo dragonfly by digging through the wood shavings, and rubbed it slowly with his hands. "Hey! Very interesting!"
"It's fun, right?" Shen Hui'e said to him with a smile on her face.
"It's fun." Liu Ding said with a grin, then he quickly stopped smiling and said, "But you can't just keep rubbing it with your hands! Besides, if you use too much force, it will fly away."
"Then it's like the wind..." Shen Hui'e slammed on the brakes when she heard that. She thought for a moment, what is a kite called! "It's like a kite, with a string. It can't run away."
"You can't just keep rubbing it with your hands! It's not much better than fanning yourself." Liu Ding said, staring at the bamboo dragonfly.
"Hmm!" Shen Hui'e thought about it carefully and said, "You know about the spinning top, right?"
"I know this. We play it all the time. I whip the best and it can spin the longest." The tiger said complacently, shaking his hands with a smile on his face.
"Before we start, the whip is wrapped around the top..." Shen Hui'e said to Liu Ding with sparkling eyes.
Liu Ding's eyes lit up instantly, and he circled his hands around the bamboo dragonfly, "We can give it a try." He thought for a moment and said, "But we can't keep entangled like this!"
"This is the point I want to make. When the rope is loosened, it will get tangled up again, and the cycle will continue endlessly." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes.
"I'll think about this." Liu Ding said, frowning slightly as he looked at the bamboo dragonfly in his hand.
"If that doesn't work," Shen Hui'e pointed at the bamboo dragonfly in his hand and said, "turn it upside down, make the two wings alive, and I'll push it to turn it around, that'll work, too." She gestured with her hand and said, "Make it a little thinner, and I'll hang it directly on the meat stall."
"That's no problem." Liu Ding said cheerfully, "It's like a windmill. If there's wind, it turns with the wind. If there's no wind, use your mouth."
"Yes! You can just use your fingers to gently push and turn it." Shen Hui'e had no choice but to say it. She didn't expect that she could only do it manually before using other power.
"Okay, this is easy to do manually, it's just like the wheel of a carriage!" Liu Ding said cheerfully, "As soon as I move my hand, whoosh... it turns very fast." Then he added, "As for what my second sister-in-law said about using a rope, I have to think about it."
"That's it! You'd better hurry up, these flies are so annoying." Shen Hui'e said with great disgust.
"Isn't there a cover?" Liu Ding blinked and looked at her.
"The pork hanging on the iron hook can't cover it." Shen Hui'e gestured with her hand.
"Okay! I'll find some time for you. It's just two wings that require some effort." Liu Ding responded readily.
"Thank you!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "I'll ask Da Chong to bring you a bowl of dumplings tomorrow."
"How can I feel comfortable doing that?" Liu Ding said while sucking his saliva.
"Then you don't want to eat! Then don't..."
Before Shen Hui'e finished speaking, Liu Ding quickly said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Second sister-in-law made it, so you can't refuse it. You can't even buy it."
"Then I won't bother you anymore, just about this." Shen Hui'e stood up and said, patting her thigh.
"Here." Liu Ding returned the bamboo dragonfly in his hand to the raccoon slave, "I won't give it to you guys anymore."
"No, no." Shen Hui'e smiled and waved her hand, "We're leaving."
Liu Ding watched them leave before he went back to sawing wood. "It's really interesting."
"Oh no! It's crooked." Liu Ding exclaimed, picked up the wood, looked at it and said, "It's not a big problem." He sharpened it and looked at it again, "It's OK! You can't do two things at once."

Liu Ding's hands were very fast, and after two days he had made a piece with a diameter as long as a human arm.
Liu Ding flew the bamboo helicopter all the way to the meat stall. His ostentatious posture attracted a large number of people to follow him.
"Second sister-in-law, how about this length?" Liu Ding said with a smile, holding the bamboo dragonfly.
"Come on! Try it and you'll know." Shen Hui'e looked at the neighbors who had gathered around her and said readily.
Liu Ding looked at his second sister-in-law with gratitude. There were many small shops selling food on the street, but flies could be seen everywhere.
After seeing the benefits, there are many buyers!
"Li Nu, go get the cloth strips." Shen Hui'e tilted her head and looked at her son and said.
"Hey!" said the big tiger cleverly, and went to get the clean cloth strips that he had prepared.
"Mrs. Pig-killer, what do you want the strips of cloth for?"
"Just watch, it will be revealed soon." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as black as black jade, then turned to look at Cheng Donglai and said, "Dongla, go and carry our ladder out."
