Chapter Ninety-Eight: Briefs

Ma Huien was also so happy, he hugged her and kissed her forehead: "The first time I made it like this, it was much stronger than Xiaoling, she only made shoes alone in the eleventh or second year, and she was not as good as yours!"

Lamei deliberately leaned close to her mother's ear and whispered: "Godmother, don't say this to your sister, she is the teacher who taught me." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ma Huien smiled and said: "She teaches you books, I teach you needlework, then, I am also your teacher!"

The teacher was very respected during this period, and Ma Huien's face was full of happiness when he said this.

"Of course!" Lamei hurriedly said: "One day as a teacher, a lifetime mother, you are my godmother, and a teacher, godmother plus teacher, closer than my own mother." In the future, I will take you as my mother-in-law. ”

Joy Ma Huien smiled at the "Boom" drop!

"I also want to learn how to weave, starting with cotton swabs. Seeing her mother spinning, Lamei made a new request.

The cotton swab is a hollow cotton wool strip used to spin cotton, spread the elastic cotton wool to the size of an adult's palm, put it on a flat plate, use sorghum or bamboo chopsticks, roll up the cotton wool close to the end of the bosom, roll forward, roll into a stick like a candle, easy to hold and spin cotton.

Rubbing cotton swabs is a patient job, and it's the same. Due to the constant tearing of cotton wool, cotton wool and velvet fly everywhere, rub all morning, a layer of clothes falls, and a big-nosed cow can be dug out of the nostrils. Little girls are generally reluctant to do this kind of work.

Lamei is happy to do it. Because no matter how stolen the work is, someone has to do it, and it is her greatest wish to be able to help her mother.

Then she wanted to give her mother the impression that she had learned from scratch.

Spinning and weaving is the work she left behind in her previous life, in her previous life, the thread she spun was both symmetrical, fine and fast, and she could spin two taels of two large ears a day.

Sometimes she sits with people and competes, and she can spin more than half a catty a day, and the sewing threads used at home at that time are all from her hands, with three strands and one together, which is very strong.

She is also an expert in weaving, and the woven cloth porcelain is smooth, durable, and fast. She can weave one piece of cloth a day. Each piece of cloth is four zhang long, two feet wide, and weighs two and a half to three catties according to local specifications.

The process of weaving is complicated, in addition to spinning thread, from the thread ear poured into a crutch, and then pulp dyeing, chao line, winding, warpping, making a comprehensive, breaking through, digging a heald, hanging machine, bolt cloth, weaving, machine, etc., the size of a dozen processes, she can do all down.

But she has to hide all of this, and after being instructed by her mother one by one, she will do it, so that her mother thinks that she is learning from her in this life, so as to achieve the purpose of consolidating the relationship between "teacher and student".

Ma Huien really took out two rolls of cotton wool and let Lamei learn.

During this period, there were old cotton wool in every household. Because the clothes and bedding are made of coarse cloth woven by the family, when individuals work alone, each family has to plant a few acres of cotton for backup.

When the production team set up a canteen, it only collected grain, not cotton wool. Although this year's cotton is drenched in the ground, the weaving boom has not diminished at all.

For the popularity of school girls, Lamei goes in and out of the house almost every day, although grandma Wang Zhang did not show a smile, but she did not object. Sometimes when she walks to the opposite face, Lamei shouts "grandma" and calmly agrees.

Lamei knew that this was thanks to her sister-in-law Wang Cuixia.

After the menstrual incident, Lamei did not resent Wang Cuixia's rejection and cold words to her, and still gave her a knitted brief.

She wanted to buy her sanitary napkins, which were too expensive for her to afford. Thinking of the sanitary belt I used in my previous life, this one is cheap and can be used repeatedly, so I tried my best to buy two and give one to my mother and sister-in-law Wang Cuixia.

They were also given a roll of toilet paper and taught them how to use it.

During this period, women's menstrual events were rolled with rags, sand and soil belts, or ash belts, and no one had ever seen this kind of fresh play, and they really didn't know how to use it.

After knowing it, it is not good for both of them to like it.

Toilet paper is a consumable, and the money in Lamei's hand is not rich, so she bought a pack and put it in the space passage, and gave it to her mother to take out one roll at a time.

Wang Cuixia didn't have this discount, if she didn't ask for it, Lamei wouldn't give it to her.

Because Lamei didn't give much, Wang Cuixia was reluctant to use it, so she cut the black paper according to the length, kneaded it softly, folded it flat, put it underneath, and put a thin layer of toilet paper on top to prevent wear.

I really didn't have anything to use, so I asked Lamei for it. Lamei gave her another roll.

This created the bridge section of Wang Cuixia begging for Lamei.

No matter how domineering Wang Cuixia is, no matter how unreasonable she is, she also knows that she needs to use a smile to ask for someone. After coming and going, he changed his attitude towards Lamei and greeted him with a smile.

Wang Zhang's family knew about Lamei's rarity for her daughter, and when she saw that her daughter was no longer disgusted with Lamei, she restrained herself and ignored Lamei's arrival, neither expressing disgust nor showing friendship. Sometimes when you run into it, you say, "Here we are!"

Finally there was progress!

The purpose of her rebirth is not to settle accounts for them, but to make a good life for the whole family, including grandparents, uncles and aunts.

Provided, of course, that they no longer bully their mothers.

Under the "teaching" of her mother, Lamei "learned" to spin, turn threads, drop threads, and dig comprehensively. Because she was small, short, she couldn't reach the pedals when she sat on the loom. If you have enough, you might be able to throw two shuttles!

Regarding the briefs, Lamei instructed her mother and aunt not to talk about them. The reason is that "there are not many white-haired grandmothers, and there are too many people to meet people's demands." ”

But it still got out, not with the mouth, but with the briefs themselves.

Washed clothes are to be dried. Moreover, the underwear must also be dried in the sun to disinfect and avoid gynecological diseases.

This Lamei also told them. Both of them had suffered unspeakable pain, and they complied. As long as it is washed, it is taken outside to dry in the sun.

On this day, Ma Huien wanted to be involved, and the eldest aunt Jing Huangai and Feng's aunt Xue Honglian also came to help.

"Drawing", also known as "drawing", is an important process in the weaving process, and it is also the most difficult link.

There is a local proverb that "the official Qing is not clear", which means that the women who do this work must be clear and careful, and the warp threads drawn out can be clear and clear.

First of all, a certain number of low wooden posts should be fixed at both ends at a certain distance from the ground. When drawing cloth, a person should sit in front of the wooden post and be responsible for hanging the thread.

Then there is the line. First, the thread wrapped around the rope is matched according to a certain color, the yarn is arranged, and the thread head on the rope is raised, and then a person pulls up the thread and winds it around the wooden posts at both ends.

The lineman has to go back and forth, arranging hundreds of cotton threads in order until they reach the width of the cloth.

When holding the thread, the hand should be balanced, otherwise the warp thread drawn out will be tight, and it will be easily interrupted by the shuttle when weaving.

This is a technical job, and there are many people, who wants to "pull", and everyone helps each other.
