On this day, after having breakfast at home, under Grandma Zhong's care and uneasy explanation, Zheng Zhishang led Lin Yu, a cute and happy little girl, wearing a small flower skirt, a certain princess hat, and a bear backpack, went out to Dr. Zhong Jinzhen's house to meet them.

Yesterday, Dr. Zhong Jinzhen, who came home very early from work, saw Zheng Zhishang, the little girl Lin Yu, and Zhong Tongqian sitting in the courtyard, Zhong Tongqian looked sullen and unhappy.

Asked by Dr. Zhong Jinzhen, Zheng Zhishang was very unrighteous, Zhong Tongqian wanted to go to Beijing to watch the military parade on National Day, and told Dr. Zhong Jinzhen again.

Zhong Tongqian, who provoked her, was extremely dissatisfied, and frequently glared at Zheng Zhishang angrily, afraid that Zheng Zhishang would shake out the fact that she was going to sneak away from class and go to Beijing. If it weren't for Dr. Zhong Jinzhen's presence, Zheng Zhishang would have no doubt that the little girl would jump over, repair her ears fiercely, and run after her all over the yard.

may know that his granddaughter Zhong Tongqian is a little troubled because of the upcoming start of school. Although during the National Day, she could not be taken to Beijing to watch the military parade. However, in order to appease his granddaughter, Dr. Zhong Jinzhen still proposed to take her out to play the next day, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Zhong Tongqian.

Even with Zheng Zhishang and the little girl Lin Yu, they all listened to the audience and became invited.

Originally, Zheng Zhishang had always wanted to find a time to take the little girl Lin Yu to the suburbs and the countryside to take a walk, take a look, and take a walk.

It's just that I don't know much about the suburbs of Xiamen, and I don't know what interesting places are nearby. Nowadays, it is not like the 21st century in the previous life, as long as you have a mobile phone in your hand, it is not a problem to go wherever you want, eat, drink and have fun, and use your thumb to do it.

I asked Wang Qimei about these locals, although they are natives of Xiamen, but if there is anything interesting in the suburbs, they are also confused, they only know that there are several century-old temples in the suburbs.

Zheng Zhishang was also speechless, except for the temple, is there no other place to play?

The local Buddhist temple in Xiamen, Mazu Temple or something, every Monday and fifteenth of every month, I have to take the little girl to the temple to incense, ask for peace, health or something. Let Zheng Zhishang, who was originally not religious in his previous life, almost take refuge in my Buddha.

No way, who told Huang Grandma to believe in Buddhism. Even if Zheng Zhishang and the little girl Lin Yu don't want to go, Grandma Huang will personally take the two of them to the temple together, put on incense, add sesame oil money or something.

Later, there is no need for Grandma Huang to say, when the day comes, Zheng Zhishang will also take the little girl to those nearby temples, Mazu temples or something to pray, which can be regarded as taking the little girl out for a walk.

Now that Dr. Zhong Jinzhen invited, Zheng Zhishang, who had no idea, was naturally very happy and gladly accepted.

When they arrived at the compound of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, Dr. Zhong Jinzhen and Grandma Zhong had also packed up closely, waiting for the arrival of Zheng Zhishang and the little girl Lin Yu. Maybe it's because you can go out to play today, Zhong Tongqian is rare that she doesn't have a lazy bed, and she doesn't need Grandma Zhong to call for it at all, she is very happy, jumping up, humming songs, dressing, washing and dressing.

Seeing that Zheng Zhishang and Lin Yu were late, and provoked the little girl, he complained dissatisfiedly: "I came so late, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I don't know how to come over early." ”

This made Zheng Zhishang speechless, it's already very early, okay, eldest sister, it's not even eight o'clock now? But he didn't dare to say it, and Zhong Tongqian carried it, he couldn't get cheap at all, if the little girl was in a bad mood afterwards and came to seek revenge, Zheng Zhishang really couldn't resist this girl.

However, the little girl Lin Yu obviously couldn't see Zheng Zhishang being wronged, so she took the initiative to say: "It's not my brother's fault, it's Yaya, I got up late this morning." ”

"It's still early, I don't usually see you in a hurry...... Grandma Zhong gave Zhong Tongqian a chestnut, stroked Lin Yu's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Yaya, you are so beautiful today, have you eaten a peddler?" ”

"Well, I ate ......" was said to be beautiful by Grandma Zhong, and the little girl Lin Yu swept away the decline just now, smiled happily, and replied:

When a few people were about to go out, but they didn't want to, Aunt Tan Lin would come to the door, and everyone was slightly surprised when they saw Aunt Tan Lin coming. But no, calculate the time, after the Midyear Festival, Zheng Zhishang and the little girl Lin Yu have not seen Aunt Tan Lin.

"Aunt Tan, why are you here?" Zhong Tongqian asked with joy:

Tan Zhong's two families were originally world friends, and the father of Dr. Zhong Jinzhen and Aunt Tan Lin was also friends who played since childhood, although the children were not as deep as Dr. Zhong Jinzhen and Aunt Tan Lin's father, but because of the relationship between the older generation, they are all commensurate with brother and sister. Naturally, Zhong Tongqian is also called Aunt Tan Lin.

"Why, I'm not welcome......" Aunt Tan Lin glanced at Zhong Tongqian with a smile and coquettishness, saw the little girl stick out her tongue, shrank her head embarrassedly, possessed, looked at the little girl Lin Yu, and asked with a smile: "Yaya, where are you going to wear so beautifully today?" ”

"Go out with Grandpa Zhong, Grandma Zhong, Sister Sissi, and Brother." The little girl replied politely;

Dr. Zhong Jinzhen nodded with a smile and said, "Qianqian is about to start school, take advantage of today's kung fu to take them out for a walk." ”

"That's not a coincidence, I'll come back in the evening."

"Be polite to us, what's the matter, let you come over early in the morning, let's talk first, otherwise we won't be able to play with peace of mind." Seeing Aunt Tan Lin's somewhat embarrassed face, Grandma Zhong's face changed slightly, and she asked with a straight face:

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you and Xingxing to help me make a few clothes for my father and grandma, and it's the same for me to come at night." Aunt Tan Lin said with a smile:

Grandma Zhong pondered for a moment, then turned her head to Dr. Zhong Jinzhen and said, "Old Zhong, you take Sissi and Yaya with you, and Xingxing and I won't go." ”

Dr. Zhong Jinzhen hesitated for a while, looked at Zheng Zhishang, and saw that Zheng Zhishang also nodded, so he nodded and agreed to Grandma Zhong's proposal, and took Lin Yu and Zhong Tongqian out of the door together.

"Xingxing, I'm sorry, next time Auntie will take you out with Yaya......" Back in the house, Aunt Tan Lin said apologetically:

Zheng Zhishang smiled and said, "It's okay." Originally, I just wanted Yaya to go out for a walk, and it was the same with Dr. Zhong Jinzhen with me, it didn't matter if I went or not. ”

"Did you get an invitation letter for your dad from above......" Grandma Zhong poured a glass of water for Aunt Tan Lin and asked with a smile:

Aunt Tan Lin took the water cup, nodded, "um", and said, "Originally, my father had retired and returned to his hometown, so I didn't want to go over to make any fun." The old chief over there also called several times in person, asking my dad to come over. My father-in-law and Wan Jun also called several times and asked my father to come over and get together. ”

Grandma Zhong frowned slightly, nodded contemplatively, and said, "While you can walk, it's good to go out for a walk more." ”

"Well......" Aunt Tan Lin nodded with a smile and said, "Why don't I come here to trouble you, make a few sets of clothes, and prepare well, so that he can wear those clothes that he can't wear and mend, and go to meet his old comrades." ”

From the conversation between the two, Zheng Zhishang gradually understood that Aunt Tan Lin came to find herself and Grandma Zhong, because her father and mother were going to the north after a while, so she wanted to prepare some new clothes for the two old men who were thrifty.

At the same time, I also helped my father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband, and son each design and cut a few sets of clothes.

Originally, this kind of thing, Aunt Tan Lin could go directly to the department store to buy it, but she didn't like those styles, seeing the clothes designed by Zheng Zhishang, it was very good-looking, just like asking Zheng Zhishang to design it, and she and Grandma Zhong would tailor a few sets of clothes for them.

In fact, Aunt Tan Lin asked Zheng Zhishang for help, and there was another purpose, but Zheng Zhishang didn't expect it at that time, and Grandma Zhong, who knew Aunt Tan Lin's other meaning, didn't tell Zheng Zhishang. It wasn't until later that Zheng Zhishang recalled it and understood.

"Okay, leave this matter to Xingxing, his current tailoring skills can already be mastered, I'll start it." Grandma Zhong smiled and nodded in agreement.

This is true, after Grandma Zhong's careful teaching, coupled with some knowledge of Zheng Zhishang in his previous life, tailoring skills, Zheng Zhishang has also pondered seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and it is not difficult to complete a dress independently. The little girl is wearing this little flower skirt and that sunhat today, both of which are from Zheng Zhishang's hands.

I saw that Zhong Tongqian also liked it very much, especially the hat and bear backpack that Zheng Zhishang made for the little girl, when it was not finished, Zhong Tongqian begged Zheng Zhishang to make her a copy too.

For Zhong Tongqian, this is a sister, but in fact, she is more like a younger sister, Zheng Zhishang, who has no friends, actually likes it a lot, at least it is a very good thing to have such a friend. So there was no refusal either.

For Zhong Tongqian, I also made a double-bag Mickey Mouse backpack, as well as a bow straw sunhat, as well as a long skirt, an autumn coat and a matching shirt and bottom skirt. It's quite suitable for the lively and pretty Zhong Tongqian, but this girl wanted to take it to school to show off when school started, and she didn't wear it out today.

"Okay, Xingxing, what do you need, just tell your aunt directly." Aunt Tan Lin said with a smile;

Zheng Zhishang thought for a while and said: "Don't be in a hurry, the clothes you make must fit, and you have to measure Tan Ah Gong and Tan Ah Po first, I am making design drawings." It's just that Uncle Tang is no longer here, and I don't have their size either, so it's a bit of a trouble. ”

Aunt Tan Lin smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go over together later, just measure it for my parents, I'll write to you about the others, you just do your best." ”

When Zheng Zhishang heard this, he had to nod. Tailor-made clothes not only need body size, but also need to be modified and designed accordingly according to each person's different appearance and temperament, so as to make clothes that fit as well as possible.

However, Tang Yi's father and grandparents are all in the north, and it is not impossible for him to go to the north to make clothes for them, but it is time-consuming and troublesome, and it is very troublesome to ask them to come over, which is the same, after all, everyone has a job, and it is impossible to go to Xiamen for a piece of clothing or something.

At that moment, Zheng Zhishang and Grandma Zhong simply packed up some tools, and went out with Aunt Tan Lin to Aunt Tan Lin's parents.

For the arrival of Zheng Zhishang, Aunt Tan Lin, and Grandma Zhong, Aunt Tan Lin's parents were also taken aback, but after learning that it was to make clothes for the two elders, Aunt Tan Lin's troubles, Zheng Zhishang and Grandma Zhong.

Aunt Tan Lin's father was also unhappy and blamed.

After all, he was a revolutionary of the older generation, accustomed to a hard, simple, and frugal life. It can be seen from the faded shirt on Aunt Tan Lin's father's body that has been washed and faded, and the neckline and cuffs are almost worn out.

Grandma Zhong persuaded with a smile: "Old brother, this is also Xiao Lin's filial piety, besides, you will go north in a few days, you can't wear this to see your old chief and comrades-in-arms, and I am not afraid of their jokes, I don't know if I think I am a good sister, I have treated you badly, and I didn't take good care of you?" ”

While Grandma Zhong was persuading, Aunt Tan Lin was not idle, pulled her mother and went back to the room, probably to persuade her mother to persuade her father together.

"Who dares to laugh, I've been like this all my life, I think it's very good, I don't know how much better it is than when I was short of food and less clothing before......" Tan Ah Gong didn't appreciate it at all, but he just had a slightly soft tone, and it could be seen that he was still very moved by Aunt Tan Lin's doing this in his heart, and he saw it in his eyes.

It's just that I've adhered to a frugal and simple style all my life, and I haven't adapted to it for a while.

It didn't take long for Aunt Tan Lin to walk out of the room with her mother, Grandma Tan.

With the joint efforts of Aunt Tan Lin, Grandma Tan, and Grandma Zhong, Grandpa Tan couldn't stand it in the end, and put down the last trace of resistance, and cooperated with Zheng Zhishang and Grandma Zhong to measure the size or something.

"Xingxing, do you have time to ...... next month" Looking at Zheng Zhishang, who was only thigh-high, he was trying to stand on the chair, tiptoeing, and measuring himself, Tan Ah Gong's face also eased a lot, but he still had a straight face, and asked:

"Hmm...... There should be time......" Zheng Zhishang said with some uncertainty:

"What should be, there is yes, there is no, there is no, manly man, don't talk like a ......"

was scolded by Tan Ah Gong, so scared that Zheng Zhishang almost dropped the tape measure in his hand to the ground, although he was a human being in two lives, Zheng Zhishang was not a real child, but when facing Tan Ah Gong, he was still a little scared and nervous.

After hesitating for a moment, it was time to answer. I saw Tan Ah Gong wave his hand and said, "Forget it, there is still some time anyway, it is best to arrange everything next month and try to make time for it." ”

Although he didn't know why Ah Gong Tan had to explain like this, Zheng Zhishang still nodded, "oh", and said, "Ah Gong Tan, okay...... What color do you like to wear? ”

"There are no special requirements, you can do it yourself......" I don't know if Tan Ah Gong was dissatisfied with Zheng Zhishang's answer just now, so he replied impatiently and walked out.

Seeing Tan Ah Gong's back like a mountain, gradually disappearing at the door, Zheng Zhishang touched his back that had been wet with sweat, let out a long sigh of relief, sat down on the chair and rested for a while before getting up to pack his things.

At noon, it was natural for Aunt Tan Lin's parents to have lunch before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Stars, what? Uncomfortable? Aunt Tan Lin, looking at Zheng Zhishang, asked with a smile:

It's not from measuring his father's size alone, Zheng Zhishang's face is not very good-looking, and even when eating, he has been restrained.

Zheng Zhishang shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay...... Just thinking about what style to do? ”

"Poof" Tan Linjiao laughed, poked Zheng Zhishang's head, and said, "Slippery head, your grandfather, it looks fierce, but it's not fierce at all." ”

"Uh" Zheng Zhishang was a little speechless, it turned out that they had already seen that they were afraid of Tan Ah Gong, so they let themselves measure him alone, didn't this mean to see their own ugliness?

"By the way, Xingxing, if it's okay in the afternoon, let's go buy the fabric first......" Maybe she couldn't bear to amuse Zheng Zhishang, Aunt Tan Lin quickly diverted the conversation and asked:

Zheng Zhishang hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait for me to draw the drawings, and we will select the cloth according to our needs." This way I can start designing without any limitations......"

Seeing this, Aunt Tan Lin also nodded and said, "Okay, when do you draw the drawings, when you want it, come and tell Auntie, don't worry, just do it before the 20th of next month." ”
