26. Such a strong mother
Winter goes to spring, and it is the Dragon Boat Festival of the coming year; This Shengda, since last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I really haven't seen it again, I heard Xiu'e say, this guy has not been at home, it seems that he has gone to run the dock, and transported goods to Xinjiang, estuary, and even Poyang Lake.
In this year's Dragon Boat Festival, Jinghui specially took her younger brothers to watch the dragon boat race, saw through her eyes, and only found the dragon boat in Panjia Village, but she couldn't find Shengda on the boat, and without Shengda's dragon boat race, it was tasteless, and she didn't see it much, so Jinghui went home.
"Jinghui, what are you doing? Shall I come in and sit down? ”。
After dinner, the lonely Jinghui went back to her room alone, recently Jinghui is surprisingly quiet, and she has lost a lot of weight, as a mother, she sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart; I thought to myself, no matter how busy I was, I had to find a chance to ask my daughter what was going on.
"Okay, come in", Jinghui heard her mother's voice and immediately replied.
This Jinghui, not to mention how cute she was when she was a child, she was very intimate with her mother, and the patriarchal atmosphere was very heavy in that era, but in Jinghui's family, it seems to be the opposite, firstly, the family has a good economy and can afford to raise a daughter.
In the countryside, I always feel that my daughter will marry sooner or later, just like the water that is spilled (because the family is poor, I can only find a poor son-in-law, and the poor family will naturally not be able to take care of my mother's family), and if I raise it for nothing, I am reluctant to spend money on my daughter.
This second, the eldest daughter is the first child in the family, because it is the first time to be a parent, so regardless of men and women, parents will put the most effort into it, and they will naturally kiss a lot.
The third is that Jinghui is very likable when she is very young, and her little padded jacket is always attached to her parents, she is beautiful, her mouth is sweet, and her teeth are sharp, and the neighbors like it very much, not to mention her own parents.
But this child, as soon as he arrived at Kaimeng (studying in a private school), he was fascinated by those books, and he followed his father to read and read all day long, and he had no time to be intimate with his mother, although he was still so obedient, but he still felt a little cold.
Of course, my parents didn't pay much attention to it, because two younger brothers were born one after another, and a lot of attention was involved. In this way, Jinghui is like an orchid in a hollow valley, alone, slowly, taking advantage of people's inattention, blooming alone.
Seeing that Jinghui is about to leave the cabinet, this mother is too busy to sit down properly, talk to her daughter, listen to her daughter's own voice, what she likes; Looking at her daughter, Jinghui's mother felt a little guilty.
Jinghui sat in front of her mother, looking at this mother who was both close and a little strange, it was a little unnatural. I remember when I was a child, I stuck to my mother every day, and I felt that I was the happiest person in the world.
Later, when she was studying, her younger brothers were born, and her family's business was thriving, she slowly withdrew from the center of attention. There is no resentment, because of understanding.
On the surface, my mother is very friendly, and she is a neighbor business, not a one-shot deal, and the most important thing is to make money with harmony, so my mother has basically not quarreled openly with others for so many years, and she has been a peacemaker everywhere (according to the current statement, a whole enthusiastic aunt in the neighborhood committee).
In fact, the mother is very strong in her bones, she married from the countryside to the city, although her mother's family is also a local rich family, she is afraid that her daughter will be looked down upon if she marries into the city, so the dowry is also very decent. But because he is a countryman, he is angry with many mothers-in-law, and he is often looked down upon by others.
After the family was separated, when the mother herself took charge of the family, she began to do things vigorously, taking out the dowry private money at the bottom of the box, going back to her parents' house to borrow money, etc.
A ruthless heart, down a shop in the most prosperous East Street in the county, started a fabric and tailor business, at the beginning of the unfamiliar, did not do it day and night, slowly after the situation opened, it was much smoother.
Because he is willing to pay a high price, the tailor master invited to open his eyes and have good craftsmanship; The price of clothing is also favorable, and many dignitaries and ladies in the city like to go to Jinghui's store to order clothes.
Later, Jinghui's mother also learned to be a tailor, and now she has become a very famous tailor master, with a few apprentices, busy all day long.
Because of the courage to go out, many tailors in the town have come here to buy fabrics, and at the same time, they can be trained for free and learn a lot of new styles. What is the latest horse coat, placket, cheongsam, etc., you can make the latest style the fastest to put out.
Because Jinghui's mother followed her friends to buy goods, not only to Quzhou Yiwu, but also to Hangzhou and Shanghai, staying for a month, looking at the latest fabrics, looking at the latest styles on the street, looking at the popular styles on the street, and actually learned to draw styles on paper with the tailors in Shanghai.
For example, at that time, Shanghai women had begun to wear tops and skirts, with shirts, jackets, and vests; The styles include placket, pipa placket, placket, placket, straight placket, oblique placket, etc.; Collars, sleeves, plackets, hems, etc. are inlaid with knurled lace, or embroidered ornaments; The hem of the clothes is square and round, and there are many variations in the width and length of the skin.
In addition, dresses have also begun to be sporadically lined, the top and bottom skirt are connected, and they are tightened at the waist, and some have belt loops around the waist to tie the belt.
One of the most popular is the cheongsam, which originated from the shirts and coats of the Qing Dynasty, and at the beginning, the waist was looser, the cuffs were wide, the length reached the foot, and the piping was trimmed.
Later, it was gradually improved, the waist and cuffs were reduced accordingly, and the length was shortened to the knee; However, at that time, girls dressed as much as possible without revealing their bodies, and the more exposed their bodies were, the more immoral they became.
At that time, the cheongsam was not allowed to be higher than the knee, and the thighs were basically either dancers or **. It was not until the twentieth year of the Republic of China (1931) that ordinary people dared to wear a cheongsam with a tight fit around the waist and high slits on both sides.
The fabric of the cheongsam is also changeable, made of yarn, silk, satin, wool, cotton, etc.; There are also various forms, which can be changed into high necks, low necks, Western-style lapels, flat collars, square collars, round necks, U-necks, V-necks, etc.
Therefore, Jinghui's mother has become a "top fashion designer" in the county, and their store has also become a local fashion trend vane, and many people come to observe and learn from time to time; Jinghui's mother doesn't hide her skills, she is a guest when she returns, she entertains tea and snacks, and she helps with any technical problems.
The more roads you have walked, the more people you have seen, the more experience you have, and the Jinghui mother, who has been trained in human feelings, is kind on the surface, but in fact, her eyes can be vicious, and when you meet, you can basically see the thoughts, conduct and other things of the people who come from eight or nine.
