Chapter 64: New Clothes
Widow Ma went to Peizhou on the twelfth day of the first month, and Zhou Xiaoan's sister and brother were going back on the sixteenth day of the first month, and Aunt Cui hurried up to make clothes for them.
Zhou Xiao'an asked the second uncle to go to Cui's house to say that if their homespun cloth was to be sold, he hoped to sell her a few horses.
Anyway, if you don't buy theirs, you have to buy someone else's cloth. Now the state does not allow private buying and selling of goods, although the people in the village will not report it when they see the face of the second uncle, but they must also pay attention to the impact.
This is a win-win situation, Aunt Cui finally agreed, but she still told Zhou Xiao'an, half sold and half sent, and the money saved will buy her snacks to eat!
Now the woven cotton cloth in the store sells for six cents a foot, of course, you have to ask for a cloth ticket, and no one wants a cloth ticket for two cents a foot of homespun cloth, and the cotton is not worth much.
The cloth woven by the farmer himself was only one meter wide and twenty feet long, so Zhou Xiaoan bought two white and two light blue ones, gave the Cui family sixteen yuan, and gave a bag of sugar.
With the cloth, there is finally no need to sleep on the quilt, Zhou Xiaoan said that the marriage schedule of the workers is tight, and he immediately tossed and asked the second uncle and Aunt Cui to help make the quilt cover, so that he could use it for the workers when he went back.
The white one is made inside, and the light blue one is made of noodles, and four quilts were sewn out quickly.
She injured her fingers and couldn't sew and thread, so she didn't have the business of making quilts for people in the tailor shop when she took them back, so she could only hurry up and do it here.
I bought a white cotton cloth separately and asked the second uncle to make underwear for her and Zhou Xiaoquan, not only did she not have underwear-clothes-wear, but even Zhou Xiaoquan's were patches, and they were so worn-out that they were too bad to make rags, just like that, the child barely had two sets of washes.
gave Zhou Xiaoquan four pairs of boxers and two undershirts and vests, children grow up fast, do these first, it is estimated that they will have to make new ones after half a year.
The rest of Zhou Xiaoan made himself six pairs of boxers and four sleeveless and collarless vests.
The second uncle of the vest is made according to the habits and styles of women now, and it is originally a loose model, and Zhou Xiaoan also asked her to put it a little bit.
She felt that she would get fat soon, and the **** would bulge, and her clothes should be made fatter.
But looking at the chest that has not improved at all, Zhou Xiaoan sighed deeply, and he could clearly feel the bones below when he touched it, which was really miserable......
As for the tight-fitting vest, xiōng–zhào- or something, there is no need for it at all......
For the rest of the white cloth, Zhou Xiaoan asked Aunt Cui to make her two sets of collarless long-sleeved slanted trousers, both of which were loose and worn as pajamas.
If you want to live in a dormitory, you can't wear a small tank top and boxers.
Zhou Xiaoquan Meizizi circled around the cut fabric twice, and secretly whispered to her sister when she slept at night, "Sister, I wear new pants for the first time." Afraid of other people's jokes, he didn't dare to say it to his sister alone until now.
When he grew so big, he picked up the old clothes of his brothers and sisters to wear, even underwear. This is the first time he has worn a new dress made for him alone.
He's a boy who doesn't care so much about new clothes, and even if he does, he doesn't want to show it.
Last year, when he was admitted to junior high school, the third brother sent him a brand new military uniform pants from the army, which was taken by Mrs. Wang to wear for Wang Tiezhu, he was very angry, but Wang Lamei scolded him, and he never mentioned wearing new clothes to anyone again.
Today, seeing my sister make so many new clothes for him, the longing that has been suppressed has resurfaced. It's not the desire to wear new clothes, it's the desire to be valued and maintained.
Zhou Xiaoan touched the child's short hair stubble in the dark, "You grow up quickly, and you will have new clothes to wear next year." ”
Zhou Xiaoquan was embarrassed to cover his face with the quilt, but he was reluctant to hide his head from his sister's hand, "These are enough, and you will be given new clothes to wear in the future." ”
There were more than ten feet of blue cloth left to make the quilt cover, and Zhou Xiaoan secretly asked Aunt Cui to make a summer smock for the mother-in-law, the second uncle and the second uncle.
When she changes jobs and the conditions are good, she will take better things to honor the three old men. Now she can't protect herself, and they definitely won't want something too good.
After such a toss, it was impossible to finish it before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month with only these few people, and the second uncle and mother-in-law invited the sister-in-law in the lobby, the second sister-in-law and a few skillful daughters-in-law in the village to help. Zhou Xiaoan gave each person a pack of compressed biscuits, and eating one piece can top a meal.
Several daughters-in-law didn't expect that they could give such a precious thing after two days of needlework, and they didn't dare to ask for it at first.
When I received the things, I was very dedicated, the stitches were fine and smooth, and even the raw edges in the clothes were locked with stitches and threads.
Three days later, when Widow Ma came back from Peizhou, Zhou Xiaoan and Zhou Xiaoquan's new clothes were not only ready, but also washed and dried and packed in their bags to prepare to go home with them.
Widow Ma's eyes were shining, her face was flushed, and she took Zhou Xiaoan's hand and smiled very happily, "I saw your mother-in-law!" She asked me to be moved, and promised to teach Han Dazhuang a lesson! You just wait for Han Dazhuang to compensate you, right? ”
"Sister, you have to listen to my sister this time! Take it, just wait for Han Dazhuang to find you, let him suffer a little hard, and then you go back! This man, you can't let him look down on you, or you have to step on the soles of your feet for the rest of your life! ”
The horse widow repeatedly admonished, "Don't go to him first!" This husband and wife are like this, whoever bows his head first suffers! You're just waiting for their old Han family to invite you! Or don't go back! ”
Zhou Xiaoan obediently taught, "Sister Guixiang, thank you." I listen to you! ”
The horse widow left with a spring breeze on her face, and Zhou Xiaoan pretended to be confused about the worried second uncle and second uncle, "Uncle asked me to tell her this, saying that he has a way to help me get angry and clean up the Han family." ”
The second uncle and the second uncle were relieved.
Zhou Xiaoan sighed again, Uncle is really the same existence as the bottle of red potion in Zhang Youlin's hand! Use everything you want!
Such an unreasonable thing, moving out of him was fooled! How confident that is for him!
was about to go home, but Zhou Xiaoquan was in trouble, he was targeted by a girl.
"I always follow me when I chop firewood, and yesterday they had to let me go to their house!" Zhou Xiaoquan was a little angry, and his eyes were wide with puffing eyes, "Sister, you said she wasn't shooting flowers, right?!" ”
Zhou Xiaoan looked at the little bit of meat raised on the child's face, "Maybe, who made you look so cute!" ”
Zhou Xiaoquan was about to leave angrily, and he was embarrassed to tell his friend Cui Guzi about this, so it was easy to muster up the courage to discuss it with his sister, and he was laughed at!
Zhou Xiaoan hurriedly coaxed the child back, "Do you know who she is?" What is it called? Who's from? How old is it? Isn't it good-looking? There is no object...... Oops! Come back! I didn't ask about the rest of the count! ”
