Aunt Chen and Jiajia are sewing matching and quilting, Jiajia is to sew the middle of the two long strips of quilt lining together into a large quilt lining, otherwise one is not wide enough.

The stitches don't need to be too dense, and the coarse cloth itself is thin and easy to sew, and the middle stitch is quickly sewn.

Then it is spread flat on the cotton of the quilt, and the perimeter of the upper and lower layers of the quilt is sewn, like a big cloth bag flat and filled with cotton, if the cotton in the corners is thin, you have to make up for some cotton, so that the corners are as thin as the middle, and it is very troublesome to look at.

can see that Jiajia is young, and she is not in a hurry or impatient when she does her work steadily, it is hard to imagine that she is less than 12 years old and still a child.

What were you doing when you were so old? I haven't graduated from elementary school yet, and I ran out to play after school as soon as I threw my schoolbag, and I had to call my grandmother everywhere to see a mud monkey like herself running back.

Later, my grandmother often got sick, and the family's money was not enough to treat my grandmother, so it was often my grandmother who asked her to go up the mountain to dig some herbs and boil and drink them by herself, which was so bad and not bad.

It was when she saw that her grandmother was so fortunate that she began to be sensible, and she didn't go to school after graduating from middle school and didn't study well anyway, and she didn't really know the hardships of life until she went out to work, and she was 16.7 years old at that time.

Looking at Jiajia's serious little face, Pei Yao also felt that maybe the quilt she sewed would be more interesting?

Seeing that she has finished wrapping the edges, she began to travel the line. Pei Yao saw that it was very simple to get a needle and thread, and felt that it seemed easy to see others on the line, but she got started by herself, and the stitches of the thread were far and near, and they were not a straight line, and they were laughed at by Jiajia.

Fortunately, this is lined with stitches in the quilt, as long as the cotton is fixed and does not move, otherwise I really can't do this craft.

It's not too much, it's uncomfortable to roll there, Pei Yao can't sit still, you let her cook and work, go up the mountain and down the river, it's a good hand, just don't move the needle, pricking the hand is still a small thing, even if you can't bear it, it's enough to choke, even the small objects you have close to yourself haven't been carefully made, the stitches are miserable!

Aunt Chen saw that her buttocks kept moving, and knew that she was impatient, so she said: "Jiajia, you take Xiaoyao out to play, you two don't need you here, I see that the quilt core is almost done, wait for me to finish the work at hand, just take a few more stitches." ”

When Jiajia heard her mother speak, she also looked up and saw that Sister Yao couldn't sit still, and she also covered her mouth and snickered. got up and got out of bed to put on his shoes, and walked to the courtyard with Pei Yao, who was blushing a little funny.

I saw the corner of the yard, a basin of quilt covers that removed the old quilts, but it rained last night and the weather was cold, and today my mother got up early to dismantle and wash these old quilts.

Seeing that Pei Yao was a little embarrassed, she wanted to wash the quilt covers first, the quilt core had already been dried, and these quilt covers had to be washed out and dried quickly, and they had to be used at night, and there was only this set of bedding at home, and there was no spare.

Then he said: "Sister Xiaoyao, let's go to the river to play, can I take these clothes together?" ”

Pei Yao glanced at those quilt covers with a lot of patches, and knew that she was in a hurry to delay other people's affairs, and she was already very embarrassed, and said: "Okay, you go wash the quilt and I'll play by the water, and we'll play together when you're done, anyway, it won't take long to wash the clothes, and I don't have anything else to do, just a lot of time." ”

Jiajia was very happy when she heard this, brought a bowl with a broken edge, went to the stove room to fill a bowl of plant ash, and brought out a mallet, put it on the clothes basin, put it on one side of her waist, held it with both hands, and beckoned Pei Yao to go out with her.

Pei Yao saw her neat movements, and felt that she had done a lot of work, and she sighed with some emotion, and said, "Jiajia, it's not heavy, I'll help you carry it." ”

"No, no, it's all very light, it's heavy after washing, my mother is not in good health and can't contribute, so she can't pick me up to help me lift, I can't lift it, I take the washed sheets by the river to dry. Usually I don't wash so much at once, but we also wait for the sun to dry back, and the sun will dry quickly. ”

"No problem, I haven't been to the river yet, let's see if it's fun." Pei Yao has really never been to the river in her life, but the river fork in her hometown in her previous life often went into the water to fish, and it was no problem to swim back and forth.

Pei Yao is still a little nostalgic and a little excited, but it's a pity that in this world, girls can't easily go into the water to play outside, let alone swim or something, fortunately, there is a waterhole at home to satisfy their hunger. Alas!

Jiajia took Pei Yao to the road to the door of her house, and there was a big stone pile behind her house, but Pei Yao didn't expect that there was a road inside.

After a few turns and a few minutes, I passed through a willow forest before I heard the sound of rushing water. Walking to the river, Jiajia said: "It is not far to go up this river, and you can walk to the head of the big stone bridge, and there can be a small road to go to the official road." ”

"Really!" Pei Yao surprise! "Is the big stone bridge the one that goes west along the intersection of the water catch?"

"yes, that's it." Jiajia nodded.

"Great, I can get home quickly from this side in the future, my home is not far from the big stone bridge." Pei Yao is happy to have a shortcut to take, and there will be more nearby to find Jiajia to play in the future.

Jiajia said: "Really, then I can go to play with you when I have time, I can teach you to sew clothes!" "The little apple has a look on his face that you are about to agree that this is your advantage.

Pei Yao smiled and agreed: "Of course it's good!" ”

Neither of them expected to make good friends, and when they were happy in their hearts, even washing clothes was dangerous!
