Lin Chuan greeted Hu Xianglan and Ye Chengwei, and then led his daughter-in-law to continue the toast......

Ye Chengwei saw Xu Rujin staring at Yu Fengzhi who was leaving, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Have business to do again?"

Xu Rujin looked back at Ye Chengwei in surprise, "You know?"

Ye Chengwei glanced at her and didn't say no.

Seeing this, Xu Rujin sighed in his heart, Mr. Ye deserves to be Mr. Ye, and his observation is meticulous......

......

......

As Xu Rujin expected, after Lin Chuan's wedding banquet, many people found Xu Rujin and wanted her to help make clothes.

On this day, after Hu Xianglan finished teaching the children, she wanted to ask Xu Rujin if she had any clothes to wash. As soon as I reached the door, I heard the sound of the metal plate of the sewing machine hitting the room.

She knew that this was Xu Rujin stepping on the foot pedal of the sewing machine in the house.

Hu Xianglan knocked on the door, and when she got an answer, she pushed the door in, but was startled by the piles of fabrics piled up in the room.

Hu Xianglan couldn't help but let out an "ah" in surprise, "This...... Rujin, where did you get so much fabric?" she froze in shock, not knowing what to do, whether to go in or go back?

At first, she only thought that Xu Rujin was sewing clothes for her family, but now it seems that this is not the case. How could a person with a puff of puff put so much fabric in a room?

At this moment, Xu Rujin's room was scattered with various colors of fabrics, including black, gray, blue, and white.

So much fabric, enough to make more than a dozen clothes. In this day and age, ordinary people are looking to be able to change into new clothes during the New Year all year round.

In such rural areas, there are still many families who are so poor that they cannot wear clothes at all.

As the saying goes, three years for the new, three years for the old, another three years for sewing and mending.

It's rare for everyone in their family to have new clothes to wear, and now there are so many fabrics in the house, it's really unimaginable.

Xu Rujin raised his head from a push of fabric, saw Hu Xianglan, who was so frightened that his face turned pale, and coughed lightly in a low voice. Then he silently got up and went to close the door of the room.

The sound of the door closing brought Hu Xianglan back to her senses, and she stepped forward, rolled up the fabrics she had scattered on the table and floor, and stuffed them all into the cabinet. After that, the whole person stuck in front of the cabinet, "This can't be seen by others, or you will be arrested! Rujin, do you know what you're doing?!"

Xu Rujin coughed lightly, "Mom......"

Although Xu Rujin never told Hu Xianglan about her shady deeds in the black market, she thought that Hu Xianglan had probably guessed it, but she didn't expect her to react like this.

After a while, she said to Hu Xianglan: "Mom, these fabrics are not mine, they are all entrusted by others to make clothes and give me some money for processing." Now the sewing machine is not available in every household, and even if there is a sewing machine, it may not be used, just like the Lin family. Just as we take what we need......"

Hu Xianglan still didn't speak.

She is not a fool, she can probably guess who she sold the money that Xu Rujin earned before. But it was all a small fight, and some people saw it and could say that they were cooking and eating at home.

But now that there are so many clothes piled up at home, how can people explain it? It's not clear to tell people that they are doing speculative business!

However, she also knew that with the situation of their family, they would not dare to do such a thing, and the family of five would only starve to death.

Xu Rujin looked still shocked, leaning against the wardrobe in a gloomy manner, blocking the cabinet door stubbornly, like Hu Xianglan, who was stubbornly resisting until she was exhausted, and didn't know how to speak.

Although Xu Rujin is also a person of this era, he is indeed a person who has experienced the changes of the times for decades.

She is very supportive of the convenience of free trade, but she can also understand the idea that in this era, people are law-abiding, cautious and never want to pick up the wool of socialism.

Xu Rujin pondered it and said to Hu Xianglan: "I have already bought this sewing machine from Brother Lin, but I can't let it be so empty, so I took a little sewing work." ”

"I sew these pieces of fabric into clothes, and they pay me according to the number of pieces. Seeing that Hu Xianglan had no other reaction, Xu Rujin continued, "I thought it would be good to earn some of our living expenses." ”

"But I didn't expect that after Brother Lin got married, they saw that my craftsmanship was okay, and they actually stuffed so many fabrics into me in one go......" Xu Rujin told Hu Xianglan a 'white lie'.

These were actually planned by her for a long time, but she was afraid that Hu Xianglan would not accept them, so she said it tactfully.

Hu Xianglan didn't mean to blame her. After calming down for a while, he straightened up, opened the cabinet, looked at the fabric of the cabinet, and said, "There are so many materials, you are a novice, when will you finish it!"

She was a little worried, the fabrics had been left here, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be discovered, so what would happen if they did?

Hu Xianglan didn't dare to think about it, sat down in front of the sewing machine, and began to sew. She said to Xu Rujin, who was still there behind her: "Why are you stunned? You are too inefficient, you have to do it in the Year of the Monkey." ”

"You draw and cut, I'll sew, hurry up and drive out these hot things, and the raw ones will be discovered. Hu Xianglan didn't raise her head, "The two of us will work together, and we can probably make it in a week." ”

Xu Rujin didn't expect Hu Xianglan to accept this matter so quickly, and it wasn't until Hu Xianglan reminded her again that she came back to her senses and started drawing......

When it was time to eat, Ye Chengwei came over and knocked on the door to let Hu Xianglan and Xu Rujin come out to eat.

Xu Rujin was just about to open the door, but was stopped by Hu Xianglan, "Don't open the door, what we do, the less one person knows, the more safe it is." ”

"......" Xu Rujin looked at Hu Xianglan with a nervous appearance, and really wanted to say that he didn't need to find out at all, people had already guessed it.

But now she still chooses to cooperate with Hu Xianglan first, and when the time is right, tell her that Ye Chengwei already knows about it. The amount of information she received today was already very large, and if she knew that Ye Chengwei was also involved in this speculative thing, she was afraid that she would collapse.

"Mom, let's go eat first, and then come back after eating. Seeing that Hu Xianglan didn't seem to hear it, she only focused on working in front of the sewing machine. She meticulously folded the fabric that Xu Rujin had cut, and then placed it under the needle of the sewing machine to push the stitching.

Xu Rujin looked at her with horror in her heart, but the work in her hand did not fall at all, and her heart was sour.

Seeing that Hu Xianglan was still working hard, Xu Rujin walked to her side and patted her shoulder, "Mom, let's keep it for after eating, I can't help but be in a hurry." ”

Hu Xianglan didn't look up, and continued to sew and mend without caring at all, "It's okay, finish it early and rest assured." "At this time, she is like a warrior, even if she doesn't sleep, eats or drinks, she has to grit her teeth to drive out the task.

Not only was she worried about being discovered, but she was also happy to be able to share the burden for her children.
