2. Home remedies
The next day, Jiaying searched for the family's savings, and now she has ten yuan left in the money she has saved, and five cents in change, thinking about finding time to go to the countryside to buy some daily necessities, but the most urgent thing at the moment is to make the clothes ready.
The cutting of clothes is very important, and Jiaying, who has experience in cutting and has seen more styles, can be regarded as an extraordinary performance in this regard. At this time, the tunic did not pinch the waist, the sleeves and pants were obviously too fat, the most difficult thing was the collar shaping and the fabric hemming, there was no special sewing machine, so it could only be wrapped with fabric. This one is much easier, sewn up, and then fasten the button, and it's almost the same. It's just a shirt made for my mother without buttons, and now there is no farm work, so I don't have to earn work, so let's go to the countryside!
The production team where Jiaying now lives is more than ten miles away from the township commune, so as soon as the day dawned, he made a hot breakfast and set off with ten yuan, one pound of food stamps, and five industrial tickets. After walking for nearly an hour, I arrived at the township commune, Jiaying arrived early, and it was not the day to catch the market at this time, so there was no one in the supply and marketing cooperative, Jiaying bought a button, spent a few cents, beat soybean oil, filled a bottle of rice vinegar, and bought a small bottle of sesame oil, and thought that I couldn't go back to my parents' house empty-handed, and by the way, I bought a bottle of liquor, worth two yuan, which is expensive enough. Then went to the post office.
Jiaying thought of a good way to make money, that is, to buy stamps, anyway, it is also this era, in the space, there must be people who like it! There is nothing new about stamps at this time, but they are the portraits of leaders, or the portraits of workers and peasants. Landscapes, landscapes, etc., I bought four sets at once, a total of twelve whole stamps, and there are so many whole stamps in the township. The others are scattered, and they are not particularly rare stamps, relying on a complete gimmick to sell well, and on the platform, two hundred and forty space coins were directly sold, and now, Jiaying is relieved. Don't go hungry anymore.
Finished clothes, iron with an electric iron, there is no such thing at home, but there is space, or a jet-type modern electric iron, which is bought in the supermarket, sent by lottery, and has been put together with flour, at this time I remembered. Luckily, there was electricity during the day today. After ironing, this tunic is spiritual, the woolen material is good, this dress has some modern elements, pinching the waist, paying attention to the lines, wearing it gives people a feeling of being tall. The style of the shirt made for my mother is very simple, the small shirt with the lapel, the waist is cinched, the pleats are pinched, and the shoulder part is relaxed, so that it will not restrict movement, even young people can wear it, and it is very foreign. As for the pants, there are none.
After doing it, Jiaying went to her neighbor Song Fugui's house and asked her aunt to help send the clothes to her mother's house. Aunt Song didn't say a word when she saw the package, who doesn't like filial children? Jiaying was not stingy, and brought a bowl of white noodles and a bowl of big sea bowls to the eldest lady, and there was eggplant marinade on it, and Aunt Song's smile was even more real.
said to Jiaying, "Jiaying, it's good that you think about it like this, after all, it's your own parents, and your marriage is about it, but it makes them angry, you say, if you don't bow your head first, do you still let your parents bow your head first? You tell me about you, whose face is it that is having a smooth life now, not your father? Otherwise, you are like this, sooner or later you will have to let the old ladies on the team eat." ”
The sin created by the original body, after doing such a brainless thing, has to be trained now with a red face, but these words also show that Aunt Song is a straightforward person, so she immediately put on a wronged face, and repented, and said,
"Auntie, I also know that I am too willful in this matter, don't I think that I can have a chance to apologize to my parents again? I don't want to bow my head first, you know, my parents are easy to say, but there are also brothers and sisters-in-law! If I go back empty-handed, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the door. ”
When Aunt Song heard this, she felt very yes, and she also eased her emotions and said, "Your kid is too strong, okay, I'll send it and help you talk, but don't send things in the future, I also know that you have lived carefully, alas!"
Suddenly, I heard a fierce cough in the house, so I asked, "Auntie, who is sick?"
"My old man, old sick, bronchitis, medicine has been eaten, it is useless, this day, I really suffer. ”
Jiaying thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I have a home remedy, which is to wash and dry the radish seeds, and then use a jar with a lid, soak in hot water, and you can drink it after about fifteen minutes. ”
Aunt Song's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said with Jiaying's arm, "What you said is true?
"There is no medicine now, no Chinese medicine, try it!"
Jiaying hurriedly thanked her, and then went back, the original Jiaying lived enough, she treated herself harshly, all for her mother-in-law, selfless! But she is different, look at this face of vegetables, look at this withered yellow hair, her youth! As soon as she is reborn, it is this youth that calms all her unwillingness in her previous life, and she can't waste it. It's just to be beautiful, otherwise you won't have that condition if you want to be beautiful in the future.
It's almost Jiaying's father Guo Ping's birthday, and it is appropriate to give a gift at this time, and in the days that followed, Jiaying was busy with the autumn harvest at home, and now the corn is not really ripe, but the tender corn at this time is very delicious, she is not the original Guo Jiaying, so she did not plan to send tribute to her husband and in-law. I picked them all and boiled them all by myself, which was so tender!
Guo Ping received the clothes, and he didn't want to look at them at first, but Song Yalan didn't want to hate her daughter for too long, so she happily tried her own, how beautiful it looked, the mirrors at home were on the top of the box, and they wanted to see it farther, but Guo Ping and the two daughters-in-law looked at it and thought it was good, and the two daughters-in-law took the clothes back to try them, saying that they would borrow them from Song Yalan when they needed them. This borrowed clothes is very common, and even some people go on blind dates to borrow clothes.
Song Yalan saw that the old man was still not moving, so she called her old son over, Song Yongjun was reading a book in the house, and when he came over, he saw the new clothes, and his mother asked him to try them, but this kid was so happy, he tried them on directly, how to look at it, it was small, and some couldn't stand up, but he could still see the quality of the clothes. Song Yalan was also very pleased and said,
"Oh, the third child is really spiritual in this dress, and he will be able to use it on a blind date in the future. Your sister made it herself. ”
"My eldest sister made it for me?"
Guo Ping stopped doing it at this time, and said, "Hurry up and take it off for me, I'll try it, it's not suitable for your sister to change, I'll wear it when I go to the county for a meeting the day after tomorrow." ”
Guo Yongjun was very reluctant to take it off, seeing that Guo Ping put on pants and tops, it really fit better than him, especially spiritual, and Song Yalan couldn't stop boasting.
In the five years since then, the people in the village have come to borrow clothes when they have happy events! Jiaying has not seen his own father put on his own clothes, but when he went out, he saw the boy of the accountant of the production team put them on, and after thinking about it, this is going on a blind date! I couldn't help but laugh for a long time.
Seeing that it was about to be her father's birthday, Aunt Song sent a letter and asked Jiaying to go back to celebrate her father's birthday, but it was not someone from the Guo family who came to inform her. This is a problem, let Jiaying go back to her parents' house under such circumstances, it is likely that she will not be able to get off the stage, and then let her parents drive her out, and swallow back all the desperate words she said in the past, which is embarrassing. However, today's Jiaying doesn't think that breaking off relations with her mother's family is the way to survive, in this small village, if there is no mother's family to rely on, her door will not be clean. Besides, if you really break off relations with your mother's family, not to mention that your in-laws' people will handle it, even if others look at it, it's a joke. People who are unwilling to have a deep friendship with her and are not filial to their parents, can they still expect her to be sincere to her friends?
So, Jiaying set off with the apples she bought from the space and the liquor she bought at the commune. When it's time to bow your head, you have to bow your head, besides, it's her own parents, she didn't get along with her six relatives in her previous life, but this Guo family's parents, she is definitely not bad. Jiaying didn't think her parents would kick her out. After all, the clothes were not sent back! For whom, they are all large items of dozens of dollars!
