Xi Rui and the others were very efficient.

They each brought two craftsmen with them after they went home.

Xi Rui also brought a lot of rubber from home.

Seeing that Xi Rui was a complete failure, Old Master Xi and Xi Xinheng were ready to talk about it.

However, when they heard Xi Rui saying that he was going to bring the rubber to the Xiao family to get a bicycle, the two of them swallowed their words.

They even told Xi Rui to do as he wished.

Xi Xinheng was the one who had found the craftsmen for his son.

Shi Qingluo also utilized their craftsmen, Xiao Mu and his son.

This time, when they came out from Xiaxi Village, they brought Xiao Mu and his family along.

After gathering the craftsmen and the rubber and iron materials were ready, Shi Qingluo also drew out the bicycle's blueprint.

She explained the principle to these craftsmen.

These craftsmen were the better ones who were owned by these few families.

After listening to Shi Qingluo's words, their eyes all lit up.

They gathered together to discuss and start work.

Xi Rui walked with his rubber-soled leather shoes for a round and went back.

The servant girls in his yard also made a few pairs of leather shoes.

He used a haversack to carry them to the old lady and his mother's yard.

He coaxed them till they were very happy.

Then, he carried the other two pairs to the study room.

The old master was talking to his sons and grandsons.

It was not that he didn't call Xi Rui in, but he was not interested in these things.

He just wanted to be a good-for-nothing, so no one called him every time there was a meeting in the study room.

After entering the door, the old man asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Xi Rui immediately opened the bundle. "Grandfather, I asked someone to make a pair of rubber-soled shoes for you and my father.

"Please see if they fit."

Old Master Xi was not surprised.

He had seen Xi Rui wearing a pair of rubber-soled leather shoes during the day.

He smiled and waved his hand. "Okay, let me try them on."

He had been curious about the rubber-soled leather shoes for a long time.

Xi Rui immediately handed over a pair of shoes as if he was presenting a treasure.

Old Master Xi put it on himself and walked around.

"It's really not bad. It feels very sturdy. You can save a lot of trouble by wearing these shoes when you're marching and fighting in the army."

He had led soldiers in the war and knew that many soldiers' cloth shoes were often worn out.

When their pay was low, they even wore straw sandals.

He asked, "When you step in the water, have you tried not to get the soles wet?"
