Chapter 142: Saving a Life
Li Xia locked the door and prepared to go out to the fabric market, Xu Wenwen and their windows were transparent, so they had to buy cloth and come back to make curtains.
It happened that after Tao Ran and Tao Tao came over, Li Xia made two more quilts, and needed to replace two more quilt covers.
Now that she has a separate workshop, Li Xia bought a sewing machine and came back, and when she made the lining, it was still more convenient to have a sewing machine.
The sewing machine for leather shoes that I had received from the shoe store had been repaired, and I had bought new needles and presser feet, so that I could come with the leather in the future.
After having a sewing machine, Li Xia can make these simple curtains and quilt covers by herself.
In fact, Li Xia can also make clothes, which is not bad, but she still prefers to deal with leather.
But when summer comes, you can make a few small dresses for Li Yang and Tao Tao, and with beautiful little girls by her side, Li Xia can't help but have the idea of dressing them up.
"Xia Xia, I'll borrow your washing machine later, and I'll shake the sheets." Mei Fen came out with the removed quilt and bed sheets at this time, and when she saw that Li Xia was going out, she hurriedly greeted her.
If you want to talk about the washing machine, Mei Fen also thinks that it is not very easy to use, it can't be cleaned, and she has to carry water by herself, which is troublesome.
However, the function of spinning drying, Meifen thinks it is very practical, spin drying, and it will dry thoroughly after a little sunning.
In the past, Mei Fen asked for large pieces such as bed sheets and quilts, and usually got up early in the morning to wash them, washed them and dried them until the evening and sewed them up.
There is a quilt at the bottom of the pressure box, but it's not reluctant to take it out, even if it is taken out, it is all camphor smell, and you have to wash it before you can use it again.
Now it's good, there is a washing machine, and when the sun is good at noon, I washed and dried, and dried it for half an afternoon to ensure that it dries thoroughly.
"I'll go out, you have the key." Li Xia gave the key to Mei Fen, and didn't say anything about letting her wash it directly in the washing machine.
Mei Fen had also borrowed it before, and Li Xia asked her to wash it directly in the washing machine, but she didn't want to.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuantian immediately snorted coldly.
Mei Fen noticed the father and son of the Zhao family standing in the yard, "Uncle Zhao, I didn't go out to receive the goods today." ”
"No, I'm not feeling well today, take a day off." Zhao Xuantian's face turned good, and he said with his hands behind his back, with a slight disdain for Mei Fen in his expression.
Since Chen Linxiu was transferred to the county seat, Mei Fen's life has become more and more comfortable.
Every month, two-thirds of Chen Linxiu's salary will be sent to her, and she herself has the salary of a temporary worker, saving part of it and spending part of it.
Because she doesn't care about Chen Linxiu's food and clothing, and now she is not having a good time with her in-laws, Mei Fen simply doesn't go to the Chen family over there, and the money spent is more than enough for their mothers.
Last month, Mei Fen also raised her salary a little, and she was in a good mood, and Mei Fen was willing to dress up, and made two new clothes for herself, and she was smiling every day when she went in.
But such a picture fell in Zhao Xuantian's eyes, that is, Mei Fen did not abide by women's morals.
As a woman, she doesn't worry about her husband at all, she only cares about eating and drinking by herself, and she runs out every day, her waist and buttocks twisted into twists, and she doesn't know who she wants to seduce.
In the future, his family Zhao Gang will marry a daughter-in-law, but he must not marry such a woman.
Zhao Xuantian's disdain didn't make Mei Fen feel it, and even if she felt it, she didn't care.
After putting away the keys left by Li Xia, Mei Fen soaked the sheets and quilts in the water soaked in the laundry detergent and went back to the house to collect the dirty clothes of the three leather boys.
Zhao Xuantian walked around the courtyard, stood at the kitchen door and looked at the big refrigerator inside, and silently went back to the room where he lived.
In the house, Zhao Gang came back early and lay down, Grandma Qian sat on the edge of the bed and pasted paper shells, and when she didn't usually go out to collect waste, Grandma Qian was doing handicrafts in the house to make money, and she didn't go out much.
"What do you say about Si Mazi?" Zhao Xuantian asked as soon as he entered the door.
Zhao Gang was motionless on the bed, Grandma Qian looked up at him, and thought for a while, "I said that I could bring the girl over next week." ”
Hearing this, Zhao on the bed reacted just now, got up and sat up, "It's not like last time, there is a disability, I don't look for a woman with a problem." ”
Zhao Xuantian also agreed, his son has complete hands and feet, how can he find someone with physical problems, the Chinese people he looked for last time are really unreliable, and they brought some people over.
"It's good." Speaking of this, Grandma Qian laughed, "Si Mazi said, if this one doesn't work out this time, if there is a good one, only half of our money will be charged." ”
Hearing the news, the father and son of the Zhao family were really happy.
When Li Xia arrived at the fabric market, she first found a cloth suitable for making curtains, and then bought a fabric for a quilt cover, and then slowly chose a fabric for clothes.
Originally, Li Xia wanted to find a fabric to make in her leather bag, but after turning around, she finally decided to go to Aunt Guo to buy it.
Although there are not many fabrics on Aunt Guo's side, after she asked for what she wanted last time, she quickly found a few, the quality is very good, the price is also appropriate, and it is very worry-free.
It just so happened that she also wanted to invite Guo Shunshun to have a meal and thank the other party.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for Guo Shunshun, Li Xia's leather bag would never have been as smooth as it is now.
There is no special leather market in Jiangxi Province, finding the source of goods is a big problem, it takes a lot of energy and effort to find, if you don't take large goods, the price may not be able to be suppressed.
Today, Li Xia went around the cloth market several times, but he didn't find a good leather store at all, at most, the cloth store brought a little leather of average quality, and some simply didn't.
If you need to go to the Shenzhen market every time, where there is a special market to buy goods, Li Xia should consider it carefully.
After buying the fabric, Li Xia took the bus directly to the park in the city center, where there is a big lake, and in the past two weekends, Li Nan, Song Fanfan and Tao Ran will run here to try sailing.
Today, Li Yang and Tao Tao also came, and the two little girls were cheering for their brothers next to them.
Li Xia bought a lot of fabrics, and when she entered the park, she stored it at the door before she went in to find someone.
The small lake is very lively every weekend, and many boys who are about the same age as Li Nan and Song Fanfan play model airplanes there, and there are teachers from the Children's Palace who carry out activities.
When Li Xia arrived today, it was almost evening, and the people were gradually dispersed, and everyone was walking out, but there were still many children gathered by the lake.
"Last week, your ship model was still spinning in the water, and today you rushed to the front, you are so amazing!" Li Nan and Tao Ran were surrounded in the middle, and the two were packing their things together.
Song Fanfan looked proud, as if the big guy was praising his ship model, "Last time, it was because the counterweights on both sides of the central axis were different, Xiao Nan changed it well, and naturally walked steadily and quickly." ”
This is not the first time that Li Nan has gone into the water, every time they go into the water, there will be some small problems, and when they come back, they will read books and check information to find faults, and then find ways to improve the problems, until now, they have finally made a little achievement.
Li Nan didn't know that his opponents were all ordinary enthusiasts, unlike the professional classmates in the Children's Palace who were going out to participate in the competition, and his boat model couldn't compare to theirs.
"Xiao Nan." Li Xia walked over, and Li Yang and Tao Tao were already following her, and the two little girls were lining up to swing not far away, and she led them over.
Li Nan's eyes lit up, "Sister, why are you here?" ”
"I went out to buy some things, I just came over to take a look, this is the end, ready to go back?" Li Xia walked in and took a look, Li Nan and their things were about to be put away.
Li Nan nodded, put on his schoolbag with Tao Ran and Song Fanfan, and prepared to leave.
As a result, someone suddenly shouted at a few dozen meters away from them by the lake, "Help, someone has fallen into the water!" Who's going to swim, help?"
Li Xia hurriedly looked at the lake, and there were indeed children's hands fluttering in the lake.
Li Xia glanced around, most of the people by the lake were children at this time, the teachers of the Children's Palace had already left with their children, and there were two older children, who were not much older, but they couldn't swim at a glance, so they ran to find tools.
"Xiaonan, go to the staff to see if there is a rope or a long bamboo pole, and children who can't swim should not go into the water." Li Xia took off his coat as he spoke.
Li Nan was actually very anxious in his heart, anxious for the people in the water, and worried about his sister, but at this time, he still didn't say a word, just threw his schoolbag inside and rushed out.
Find someone to ask for ropes and long bamboo poles
Song Fanfan and Tao Ran were stunned for two seconds, and then hurriedly ran, seeing Tao Ran also running, Song Fanfan grabbed him, "Don't move here, look at Yangyang and Tao Tao, don't let them run around, and don't let them go to the water's edge." ”
Saying that, Song Fanfan also rushed out.
At this time, Li Xia had already jumped a few times on the shore and jumped into the icy water, she swam very fast, and after swimming over, she did not go directly to catch the drowning person, but went around to the front of the other party.
Li Xia threw over the coat that he had taken off and not thrown away, but the other party had already made a mess, grabbed the clothes, and pounced for a long time, stunned that he didn't catch the clothes.
The children on the shore were also anxious, shouting for the one who fell into the water to grab their clothes quickly, and some of them were in a hurry, and they rushed two steps to the water's edge.
"Stand back! If you want to die, find a quiet place to die, don't drag my sister down! Tao Ran was in a hurry, looking at his two younger sisters and staring at these people at the same time.
The children quickly took a few steps back, not daring to get too close to the water's edge.
Seeing this, Li Xia could only let go of her clothes and dived into the water.
went around the other party's back and lifted the person out of the water, the other party fluttered twice, and after finding himself floating, he finally stopped panicking.
Li Xia dragged the other party to the shore, looking at the shore with difficulty.
She was okay in the water, but she had never swam with weights, and the child she was holding was a teenager and quite heavy, and if there was no one to help, or nothing to borrow, she might not be able to hold up to the shore.
"Sister, sister, can you catch it!" Fortunately, at this time, Li Nan found a long penny to come over, and along with him, there were two older park managers.
This park is free and not many people are managed.
Penny stretched into the water, a little distance away from Li Xia, Li Xia felt that he could swim over, but Li Nan was already in a hurry, "Fanfan, you hold me, I'll go into the water a little." ”
In addition to the small lake in the northwest corner, there is a small bridge, and they are connected to the lawn, extending into the water, and you can walk a few steps into it.
"Okay." Song Fanfan was also a bold lord, and hurriedly grabbed Li Nan.
Tao Ran stepped forward to grab Song Fanfan, and when the rest of the children saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward to help pull people.
"Tighten up, don't let go and fall into the water, I'm afraid."
"Tighten a little, tighten a little"
As soon as Li Nan walked into the water, Li Xia was much more relaxed, and she quickly caught Penny.
Because of the timely rescue, the child who fell into the water just choked on a stomach of water, and the person had not fainted.
The people on the shore gathered around to ask about the situation.
"He went into the water to fish out his broken boat." There is a child next to him, and his heart is palpitating.
Li Xia put on the coat that Li Nan had taken off, turned his head to look at the water, and saw his coat floating on the water, and a white boat model a little farther away.
"Is the ship model important?" The old man who watched the gate of the park was half frightened to death, and slapped the child on the shoulder.
Although their park is free, it is not exempt from liability, and if it kills, they will all be held accountable.
Li Xia shook her head and motioned for Li Nan to leave, it's good that someone is rescued and nothing happens, go back quickly, she is about to freeze to death.
After picking up the stored fabrics, several people hurried home by car.
When they were on the road, Li Xia began to sneeze, Li Nan and Li Yang were so anxious, Li Yang also wanted to take off his coat to Li Xia, but Li Xia stopped him, "It's okay, just go home and take a hot shower." ”
Tao Ran and Song Fanfan next to him both wanted to take off their coats and give them to Li Xia, but she refused.
The bus driver knew that Li Xia was saving people and got wet, so he drove a little fast, and the passengers on the bus had no opinion, and they all praised Li Xia for being a good boy.
There were no people to get off at the middle stops, and the driver simply didn't stop.
"Little girl, go back quickly, you are doing well." When I got out of the car, the people in the car gave a thumbs up to Rishabi.
When I returned home, it was a busy job, but fortunately, the current coal stoves all have hot water tanks, Li Xia took a hot bath and came out, and Li Nan's ginger soup was also cooked.
Song Fanfan also deliberately ran home and brought cold medicine to Li Xia, asking her to take precautions in advance.
The next day, when Lin Jing came to the door with the uncommon mushrooms that they had worked so hard to get, Li Xia was wrapped in a big cotton jacket, his face was flushed, and he was blowing his nose and coughing in a dumb throat from time to time to greet him in the courtyard.
"Xia Xia, what's wrong?" Luo Xiaoxue and Xu Rui, who was still carrying vegetables and fruits in his hands, came in.
Li Xia's head was a little heavy, and his nasal voice was very heavy, "It's cold, it's okay, you guys sit." ”
Lin Jing was a little embarrassed, Li Xia was sick like this, and he brought guests to the door to disturb.
"It's not troublesome, and I don't have a fever, but I'm a little sleepy after taking medicine, and I can still fry the food, but you have to send someone to give me a taste, I can't taste it." Li Xia laughed.
What's this, she still has to go to work with a high fever in her previous life.
It's in this life, with younger siblings and grandparents who care, that people unconsciously become a little squeamish, but there is no problem with cooking.
The first is the latest.
