Chapter 30: Mother and Daughter
Pei Yao watched this farce in surprise, feeling that the world is so big, and the mountain village in her hometown when she was a child was also relatively poor, and she relied on farming to eat, but there was a flood one year, and it rained heavily for almost a month, and the crops were submerged and the harvest was lost.
It was the poorest time, and everyone tried to help each other through that disaster year, and I really haven't seen this strange relative, and I robbed it, which is a relative, this is a debt collector!
Seeing Jiajia wiping her tears, she persuaded: "Don't cry, isn't she gone, this is your relative?" ”
Jiajia sobbed a few times and said, "Well, it's my second aunt Ji Chen, she always comes to my house to grab things, I'm afraid of her, and now I have nightmares at night when I hear her voice."
As soon as there is something in my family, she will say that she wants to honor her grandmother, and if she doesn't give it, she will say that my milk is for nothing to raise my father, and it is so fortunate for him to take the entrance examination, and her milk has not gotten anything good, saying that my father is gone, and the rest are white-eyed wolves or something, so that the villagers will poke us in the backbone.
Even our house was occupied by them, and they drove us to live in this old grass house. Woo."
It seems that Jiajia has been aggrieved for too long, and she can't even help but confide in herself, an outsider. "I also have an elder brother named Chen Jiacheng, who came to the conscription before last, and the 15-year-old eldest brother of the second uncle and the second uncle's family were all within the scope of the conscription, because he was reluctant to give up the silver, and he was not out of the way, saying that the family's money was for his father to take the exam, and it was time for our family to pay off the debt, so he insisted that his brother lied about his age to go to the conscription, and now he has no letters back and I don't know what happened."
This is the first time Pei Yao has heard the name Chen Jiacheng!
Seeing Aunt Chen enter the house, Pei Yao patted Jiajia's shoulder comfortingly, and said to Aunt Chen, "How is it?" You okay? ”
Aunt Chen's smile was a little stiff, and she reluctantly said, "It's okay, she's like that, ignore her." I'll show you the finished clothes. ”
"Hmm." Pei Yao didn't continue to ask, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, it is normal for Aunt Chen to be reluctant to say it, can she find Jiajia if she wants to gossip.
Aunt Chen picked up a stack of winter clothes on the cabinet, put them on the bed, and opened the cotton shirt on it, which was covered with cyan cotton lining inside and out, which was quite thick to the touch, and the front of the clothes was a cross-laced placket.
Pei Yao put it on her body to try it on, the right placket is tied to the armpit position of the left cotton coat, and then the left placket is tied to the outer waist of the right cotton coat, the cotton on the placket is slightly thinner, and it will not bulge your belly when you put it together.
After wearing the cotton clothes, I immediately felt hot, and when I looked at the size and moved, I felt that it was a little long, and I took it off without any discomfort, and I was about to sweat if I didn't take it off.
Aunt Chen looked at Pei Yao's dressed appearance and said, "It's just the right size, you're still growing, now it's okay to roll up your sleeves a little bit, you can wear it next year, try pants again." ”
Pei Yao simply took off her shoes and sat on the edge of the bed, and directly put the cotton pants on the outside of the pants on her body, the cotton pants are also very comfortable, and they are also a little long.
Pei Yao praised: "My aunt is really a good craft, the stitches of this shirt and pants are neat and meticulous, and the upper body is also very comfortable." ”
Aunt Chen smiled: "You girl has such a sweet mouth!" That's what every woman does."
Jiajia interjected next to her: "What's the matter, my mother has also been an embroiderer, of course my skills are good, Sister Yao is telling the truth!" ”
Aunt Chen pretended to be angry and nodded Jiajia's head, Jiajia was not afraid of her, and made a grimace. Pei Yao looked envious, and her mother's child was like a treasure.
Open the mattress is about 1.9 by 1.5 meters in size, almost as thick as the length of the index finger, the cotton is evenly distributed and flat and soft, Pei Yao is even happier now, this mattress is good, it can be used tonight.
When I think of using it at night, I think of her cool quilt, this is not enough to have a mattress without a quilt, I can't sleep with a mattress, so I asked: "Auntie, how much has my quilt been made?" I woke up from sleep last night! ”
Aunt Chen said: "Why didn't you find out the old year's bedding, and it will be covered." How can it be frozen! ”
After speaking, he folded the open cotton pants and mattress, put them aside, and opened the roll of cotton rolled at the head of the bed. This roll of cotton is a layer of lining cloth below, and the top is a finger and a half thick cotton, which looks like it is rolling cotton up piece by piece!
Pei Yao saw that it was so thick that it was just enough to make a cold quilt, so she said, "Auntie, can you make such a thick cotton quilt for me, can I take it away today?" The remaining cotton and interlining materials are not enough, and I will give Jiajia money to buy them. ”
"Yes, yes." Aunt Chen said: "But you have to wait, immediately seal the lining and the line (refers to through the lined cotton, with the line up and down to go back and forth, the cotton will be fixed on the lining and will not roll into a pile) This quilt is thin, and it can be done at the fastest hour!" ”
Chenshi? Pei Yao thought, it's more than 7 o'clock in the morning, and it will be done in an hour and a half before now! Quickly!
"I'll start making it for you now, Yao girl, you sit, Jiajia will help me get on the line, and I'll make the quilt cover." Aunt Chen said.
Pei Yao also became interested: "Auntie, what can I help with?" While reaching out to help Jiajia pull the upper layer of cotton lining, align the corners of the cotton and lay it flat.
Aunt Chen said: "You don't need you, if you know how to do it, you don't need to buy it!" Hehe! ”
Laughed at, huh...
Pei Yao is not angry, Aunt Chen can joke with her, proving that she is intimate with her.
Seeing that Jiajia was sewing the quilt, it seemed to be easy, so she stepped forward upside down and asked for a needle and thread next to her with her face...... Chaos......
