"Mom, is what Peng Peng said true?" Wen Qing asked.

Yao Shiling glanced at Wen Peng.

Wen Peng hurriedly put the tomatoes into the bamboo basket and said, "I'm going to do my summer homework." Then he ran away in a puff of smoke.

Yao Shiling smiled, then looked at Wen Qing and said, "Don't believe Wen Peng's nonsense, the village chief's wife just mentioned it, and I will give it back." ”

"Oh." Wen Qing didn't mind, sat down in front of Yao Shiling, took out the floral cloth in the cloth bag, and asked, "Mom, do you like this kind of floral?" ”

Yao Shiling didn't answer, but looked at Wen Qing, Wen Qing likes Ji Yanjun a lot, she knows, she didn't plan to tell Wen Qing about the village chief's wife talking about the matchmaker, she was afraid that Wen Qing would have other ideas, after all, she also knew that Wen Qing and Ji Yanjun were better, and the word "talking about the matchmaker" was taboo for a while. Who knew that Wen Peng said it with a lot of mouths, but looking at Wen Qing's appearance, he didn't seem to have any other thoughts about "talking about the matchmaker", and he didn't mind.

Yao Shiling thought that she was right to refuse, whether it was Ji Yanjun or the mayor's son, they didn't match the Wen family, and the current Wen Qing couldn't control it, so let Wen Qing go to school well, and be admitted to university in the future, and have a fixed real ability, whether it is to find a town, a county, or a city, Wen Qing has confidence.

"Mom, look, does this cloth look good?" Wen Qing urged.

Yao Shiling put down the dish in her hand, wiped her hands, leaned in, touched the fabric and said: "Cotton, well, the color is also positive, it's pretty good, but it's too expensive to make shoes, right?" ”

Wen Qing smiled: "It's not about making shoes, it's about making you a summer dress." ”

Yao Shiling hurriedly refused: "Don't don't, don't waste the cloth, I can't wear all the clothes, what else to do, keep it and sell it to others." ”

"How can it be?" If Wen Qing remembers correctly, Yao Shiling has not worn clothes for many years, her so-called "clothes can't be worn out", but there are only two sets, and they are changed over and over again, and one set is often worn without patches and often has to go to the county seat to wear: "It's decided." ”

"Wen Qing, don't do it, waste the cloth!" Yao Shiling insisted: "Keep it to make more money, you still have to go to school." ”

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Mom, whether I am making money or going to school, my ultimate goal is to let you and Liangliang and your friends have no worries about food and clothing." If you don't care about your food and clothing in order for me to go to school, then I won't go to school, and you can rest assured, today and a year, I will definitely earn all the tuition fees for me and Liangliang and Pengpeng. ”

Yao Shiling was speechless for a while, looked straight at Wen Qing, and couldn't tell what kind of warmth she felt in her heart, but she felt very happy to have this daughter.

"Do you want to make clothes?" Wen Qing asked with a smile.

"Done." Yao Shiling agreed in the end.

Wen Qing took out two more pieces of cloth: "These two pieces of cloth are made for Liangliang and Pengpeng." ”

"The two of them too?"

"There must be, I'm going to make a half-sleeve for the two of them, the weather will be a little cooler when school starts."

"Let's make long-sleeved ones, and you can wear them in summer and autumn."

Wen Qing: "Which line, summer is summer, autumn is autumn, and new clothes will be made in autumn." ”

Yao Shiling said that Wen Qing couldn't go, so she could only go, but from time to time she nagged you not to learn from your second uncle, there is no tomorrow today, you use less fabric, spend less money, etc.,

Wen Qing promised to be good, but she didn't save the fabric that should be used and the money that should be spent.

Every day, taking advantage of the gap when I came back from the county, I measured the body size of Yao Shiling, Wen Liang, and Wen Peng, cutting, cutting, sewing, and ironing, and in half a month, I made two sets of clothes for Yao Shiling, a floral half-sleeved crewneck shirt, and round-shaped elastic wide-legged pants. One is a really good dark blue half-sleeved gown with polyester ironing pants.

The day Yao Shiling put it on, she was very embarrassed, she hadn't worn new clothes for many years. The neighbors looked envious and said it looked good. Especially Aunt Wang, since she took Wen Qing and Yao Shiling's corn cobs and sweet potato seedlings, Aunt Wang's attitude towards Wen Qing and Yao Shiling has turned 180 degrees, how good it is.

Seeing that Yao Shiling is dressed very well, she is also sincerely praised, and envy Yao Shiling for having such a good daughter as Wen Qing.

Yao Shiling likes clothes very much.

In addition, Wen Qing made a set for Wen Liang and Wen Peng.

Wen Liang put away his clothes and waited for school to start before putting them on. Wen Peng couldn't wait, put it on his body, ran around catching shrimp and fishing, picking up firewood, and catching it. But he envied his neighbors.

It is not easy to wear a new dress in Shuiwan Village, and a few years ago, I had to buy fabric and ask for a cloth ticket, but there was no cloth ticket at that time. Now it costs money to buy fabrics, and I can't eat enough, who still pays attention to wearing, not all of them put a piece of cloth for half a year and a year, and then make a piece of clothing The whole family takes turns to wear it for a few years, my mother wears it through my sister, my sister wears it through my sister, and my sister wears it through my younger brother, how can there be anything like Wen Qing's family, and I made four or five sets of clothes at a time.

The neighbors are more and more accepting of the fact that Wen Qing's family has become rich, and their eyes on Wen Qing's family seem to have changed from contempt to equality, and even awe. Moreover, there is the village chief and captain, as well as Aunt Wang, who is a prankster to help Wen Qing's family, and no one in the village dares to mess with Wen Qing's family, and the two younger brothers of Wen Qing's family are getting bigger and bigger, and they are getting more and more troublesome.

After Wen Qing finished making Yao Shiling, Wen Liang, and Wen Peng's clothes, she made Wen Liang and Wen Peng's schoolbags.

The popular schoolbag in this era is the military shoulder bag, also called the military shoulder bag. It is made of army green canvas to make a flat bag, sewn with cloth tape, and then print a hair on the surface of the bag. Host. The head of the mat, embroidered with a row of red words "Serve the People" underneath, and then carried on the shoulder, in the words of the 21st century, is called "very cool".

When Wen Peng got the schoolbag, his eyes lit up, and he hugged the schoolbag tightly and asked, "Sister, is this for me?" ”

Wen Qing handed one to Wen Liang and handed it to Wen Peng. ”

Wen Liang has always been steady, and at this moment, when he came to this bag, he couldn't help but show his liking in his eyes.

"Second brother, look, there's still hair on it. Host. The cover of this bag has a rope on it, which can be tied. Wen Peng was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

Wen Liang was also secretly happy, then looked at Wen Qing and asked, "Where is your schoolbag?" ”

"I'm in high school, and I'm not like yours."

Wen Liang: "Oh, you can do it." ”

Hearing Wen Liang say this, Wen Qing smiled happily.

Wen Qing took advantage of the summer vacation to make shoes for the family, and then made his own clothes, shoes, and school bags.

So, after everything is done, there is still a week before the start of school.

The school-going children in the village are starting to get busy, what are they busy with? Of course, it's to make up for the summer homework, at this time there are no extracurricular books, no test papers, and the usual exams are the teacher's test papers, and then printed with an oil brush. The so-called summer vacation homework is to copy the texts, and before the holiday, the teacher writes the questions on the blackboard, and the students copy them down to do during the summer vacation.

Wen Liang studied well, and it has always been no problem.

But Wen Peng is different, Wen Peng is playful, every time he says to do homework, he goes to catch grasshoppers while doing it, and he knows it, so he is lying on the table at this time, and he is trying to make up his homework.

"Second brother, second brother, you can help me copy the text, I can't finish it."

"Eldest sister, eldest sister, you can copy it for me. Eldest sister, mom ......"

"Second brother, I can't write this math problem, you help me write it, second brother, mom ......"

“……”

No matter what Wen Peng said, there was no one to help him.

Wen Qing smiled and said: "Write well, if you can finish writing within two days, three days later, I will take you to the county town to buy learning supplies, Wen Peng, I will buy you a stationery box." "There's a stationery box that can catch the attention of all the girls in the class, and maybe a little girl will rush to put a pencil in your stationery box.

When I heard this, I came to my senses, and I didn't want to play anymore, so I buried myself in copying texts, calculating topics, and writing in front of a kerosene lamp at night.

Two days later, it was completed, and on the third day, Wen Qing also promised him as promised, taking Wen Liang and Wen Peng to the county seat.

Yao Shiling is at home and cares for the house.

Wen Liang was reluctant to go at first and didn't want to spend, but Wen Qing recently made a lot of money because he took clothes from the factory and sold them well, and Yao Shiling persuaded him.

So Wen Liang and Wen Peng put on new clothes and new shoes, and followed Wen Qing to the county seat.

Wen Liang had never been to Aunt Xiao's tailor shop, Wen Qing took him and Wen Peng to sit in Aunt Xiao's tailor shop for a while, and told him: "Wen Liang, this is my sister's shop, so my sister doesn't just spend money and doesn't know how to make money." ”

Wen Liang didn't speak.

Aunt Xiao looked at it and smiled, the three children of the Wen family are all good-looking, Wen Qing is shiny and good-looking, Wen Liang is stable and handsome, Wen Peng has recently become fat and more cute.

Wen Qing asked Wen Liang to say hello to Aunt Xiao, and then pulled him and Wen Peng to the big market, and said as he walked: "Liangliang, this Aunt Xiao's tailor shop belongs to our family." ”

"Our family?" Smell the light of Nahan.

Wen Qing nodded: "Well, our family." Wen Qing simply sold Aunt Xiao's child to Tang Quan when her child was sick and her sketches earned 600 yuan to ransom the cow, bought Aunt Xiao's tailor shop, etc.

Wen Liang was dumbfounded.

Wen Qing: "The purpose of I tell you this is because you are the eldest man in the family, three days later, I went to school, the school is not close to the station, and it is not convenient to come back, I asked my mother to come to the county seat to help look after the store when she is free, and collect money once a month." It's good that you know about it. ”

Wen nodded: "I know." ”

"That's good." So Wen Liang behaved like a person, Wen Qing 100% believed that Wen Liang was the pillar of the family in his previous life: "Let's go buy some learning supplies." ”

With that, Wen Qing, Wen Liang, and Wen Peng entered the school supplies store.

"Eldest sister, what grade are you in?" Wen Peng asked.

"Sophomore year of high school." Wen Qing replied.

"And what are you going to buy?" Wen Peng asked again.

"I've bought some before, but the ones in the city should be more expensive, so I'm going to buy two more ballpoint pens, a pencil and a notebook." Wen Qing said.

Wen Peng nodded his little head, then walked to an A4 paper-sized sticker, unable to move: "Sister, I want to buy a sticker of Monkey King and paste it on the stationery box." I have a classmate who posted it like this, but it's a cow. ”

"Don't buy it!" Wen Liang refused first.

Wen Qing glanced at the sticker, the picture on it was the four masters and the white dragon horse in Journey to the West, which was very good-looking, and asked, "Boss, how much does this sticker cost?" ”

"Penny, one piece." The boss said.

"Don't buy it!" Wen Liang insisted.

Wen Peng pouted, his voice couldn't be smaller, and said, "Buy, big sister buy, I want Monkey King stickers." ”

Wen Qing only felt that Wen Peng's appearance was super funny, and when he was taking out the money, he heard the voices of two people outside the door.

"Ning Zhi, you're in your second year of high school at the beginning of school, right?" Zhang Fangfang's voice.

"That's right." Ji Ningzhi's voice.

"Did you choose liberal arts or science?"

"Liberal arts, the first semester of high school will be divided into subjects, I choose liberal arts, the previous homeroom teacher was Mr. Liu, but he took a science class, and the current homeroom teacher is a woman, Mr. Zhao."

"The liberal arts are also very good, school will start in three days, and your brother is also at home, so I will give you a fountain pen on behalf of your brother as a gift for the start of school."

"Thank you, Sister Fang."

When Wen Qing heard the rumors, he saw Zhang Fangfang and Ji Ningzhi walking into the stationery store at the same time, and at about the same time, Zhang Fangfang and Ji Ningzhi raised their heads and saw Wen Qing in the store.

Wen Qing.

Zhang Fangfang and Ji Ningzhi were stunned.
