Chapter 174: Covered
After the meal, everyone sat together and discussed the move. The furniture of the new house is basically ready, and grandma asked them to move back their big wardrobe and high and low cupboards this afternoon. Prepare for another day tomorrow and move in early October.
Uncle Yuanchao said: "Aunt, Shengnan is herself, and my father-in-law was not willing to accompany me to a big wardrobe when I got married, but you did it." ”
Uncle and grandmother said of him: "When you got married, you still had a big wardrobe from time to time, and the dowry of Shengnan is considered top-notch even now." You can't say that when you go back, let the two old men hear it sadly. ”
The third uncle was embarrassed, touched his head and said, "I don't dislike Shengnan's dowry, isn't this thankful to my aunt, I didn't make it clear." ”
His uncle taught him: "You are a cadre in the commune, and you have to pay attention to what you say in the future, and it is easy for people to misunderstand what you say today." ”
The third uncle humbly accepted, "Dad, I will listen to you, and I will talk and think about it a few times in the future." ”
A few small ones were sleepy, and my uncle and grandmother put them on the kang, covered them with quilts, patted them with their hands, and after a while, they all fell asleep.
Mom went to class, uncle and grandfather went to clean up the house, move furniture, grandma took out the gold velvet cloth, and asked aunt to make curtains first.
My aunt touched the soft golden velvet cloth, "Aunt, I have never seen such a good cloth, what is this made of, it is better than velveteen, similar to a blanket." It's a pity that it's too soft, and the clothes are not crisp. ”
My uncle and grandmother said: "I have seen this cloth, or when I went to the army, I saw it when I was wearing a cheongsam, and I made it with this material, and it looked really good when I wore it." ”
The two aunts asked her, "Mother, are you wearing a cheongsam?"
My uncle and grandmother told them: "I don't have the guts, you haven't seen it, that cheongsam n, and you still wear that, and you blush when you look at me." It's just that the people in the city have that guts, but it's really good-looking. In our case, if anyone dares to wear it like that, they will have to be trampled to death. ”
Grandma listened to their words and sighed. "Alas, what kind of year is this, even the clothes are in care, and the whole age is dressed in gray and abrupt clothes.
I used to be in Kyoto, and I really wore a cheongsam, so I can do it. If it weren't for this year, one person would make a few pieces for you, and your figure would look good in it.
It's a pity, I don't dare, we don't dare to do it even if we have gold velvet. Don't you know that even wives have become a sin because they wear cheongsam. ”
The two aunts shook their heads, "Auntie, we haven't seen a cheongsam like before, and my mother is still full." ”
Grandma and grandma cut it, and the two aunts made it with a sewing machine each, and the speed was quite fast.
Curtains are also easy to make, and the windows left in the current house are not floor-to-ceiling curtains, just cover them. Besides, there are very few curtains hanging in the countryside, and even glass windows are rare. Even if you get married, you will also use a piece of red paper to paste the window.
The curtains were made, and my aunt made the quilt covers and sheets. They didn't listen to their grandmother's words and made blankets for their own home, but made them out of the Youyou family first.
Looking at the finished set of sheets and quilt covers, the two aunts talked about it again. "Auntie, did you do the same in Kyoto, it's so beautiful. No wonder they all want to go into the city, the city is good, such a good thing, let's not talk about it, we haven't heard of it. ”
Grandma told them, "I only knew that there was a cover, even if there were few people in the city." It's not that there is a lack of money, and now everyone has no tickets. In the past two years, it has been really good, and you can buy it without a cloth ticket, and only then did you start to have a quilt. ”
The second aunt said: "Isn't it, people in the city have twice as many cloth tickets as us, 12 feet a year, and they can't afford to buy a quilt, and we can weave coarse cloth in the countryside, but they don't have it." ”
The eldest aunt also said: "Aunt, this year, we adults and children, we are all the clothes you bought, the cloth ticket is not used, and it is not enough to make a new dress for the children during the New Year." ”
Grandma said to them: "I have packed the clothes for the New Year this year, you are not embarrassed, I have found the way to the three cotton factories, and I will take the time to buy two more batches, which are enough for our own family." ”
Two batches of cloth made 1 bed cover, 6 sheets. All 10 blankets were covered, and the new quilt was put on the bed. With a few meters of cloth left, my grandmother asked my aunt to make a few pillowcases.
The third uncle came back to drink water and saw a complete set of bedding. immediately liked it, sat down in front of grandma and grinded: "Auntie, you can find someone to approve some cloth, and make a set for the two of us, this is matched together, but it is really beautiful." The cloth sold in our county is not as good as the one you buy. ”
The second aunt also said: "Aunt, you just know how to buy things, this cloth is not only beautiful, but also comfortable to touch." ”
Grandma deserves to be happy, "Okay, my aunt will buy it for you when she moves, and make two sets for your family, so that you can have a replacement." ”
The third uncle's nice words came as soon as he opened his mouth, "It's still my aunt who loves me, and even thinks about changing the wash for us, no wonder they all say that my aunt and nephew." ”
Uncle and grandmother looked at him and said suspiciously: "I've been working for two years, how can I learn to have a two-skin face." The two aunts laughed, almost out of breath.
The new house was cleaned up, and the patriotic uncle drove a tractor and sent the furniture of the third uncle. When Uncle Yuan Chao left, he said, "Aunt, we came to help you early in the morning. ”
Grandma hurriedly called him: "Aid the DPRK, you two have to go to work, there are many people in our family, you don't have to come back." ”
For dinner, I still ate it together, and my grandmother rolled out the noodles and scrambled a pot of eggs as toppings. After the meal, when it got dark, my grandmother put the blankets on the floor row car and let them pull them home. If this is seen by everyone in the daytime, I don't know what to talk about.
When everyone left, Yoyo threw all the new things into the space and cleaned them. After a day of tossing, I fell asleep in bed.
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is Sunday, and the family is busy organizing things so that they can move tomorrow. At night, Yoyo received a lot of loose things into the space, especially the needles and threads in the consignment point, which she put away.
Grandma specially instructed Youyou to collect most of the wheat. Grandma bought more than 3,000 catties of wheat one after another, plus the team's share, and the family had to have nearly 4,000 catties. Grandma let the less than 2,000 catties stay outside, saving outsiders from seeing and talking everywhere.
After breakfast, the second master and the second grandmother came over, and the grandmother saw it and hurriedly beckoned him: "Second master, sit in the house." ”
He went into the house and sat down, looked at his grandfather and said, "I came over to discuss something with you, you move tomorrow, and this house will be lent to Guilian and them first." She gave birth during the Chinese New Year, and I really couldn't live there.
Originally, I was going to pick up the yard and let them make do with it first, but I also told the cadres in the team that it was okay. Seeing that you have moved away, I thought that it was still convenient here, and that I could live in it for a long time, and that the house in the yard would have to be given up when the wheat was harvested. ”11
