Chapter 12 Food and Clothing
"Brother Yan, I sent the fabric, at the door; You come out and take it, and the number of meters is allocated. ”
The fabric was placed on the threshold, and Zhong Yuxiu turned into the room.
Yan Rushan didn't see anyone when he came out, so he picked up the fabric and went into the house, and one person gave them a share; Judging from the size of the fabric, how to distribute it is clear at a glance, and Yan Rushan guessed it at a glance. After dividing these, he came to the door of the female intellectuals with the rest of the fabric.
"Comrade Zhong, come out for a moment."
Sun Ruhong and Jiang Mei glanced at each other, and turned their gaze to Zhong Yuxiu; Even though he has been sharpened by the previous few crossing experiences, he still has a numb scalp in the face of the straightforward and ambiguous eyes of the two.
The conscience of heaven and earth, she really has no ambiguous relationship with Yan Rushan, and she has no relationship.
"I'll go out and have a look." walked out quickly, and almost collided with Yan Rushan when he went out; The person didn't bump into it, and a bunch of things were stuffed in his arms, and at a glance, he realized that it was the fabric she sent out, "Brother Yan, you must accept these fabrics, I exchanged them with you." ”
Yan Rushan's eyes were cold, "I don't know how to make clothes, I wear ready-made fabrics for whatever I want." ”
Choked for a while, Zhong Yuxiu watched Yan Rushan go back and close the door; What do you mean? Do you want her to do it?
"Yuxiu, Comrade Yan is gone, what are you still doing standing at the door? Isn't it cold? Sun Ruhong stretched her neck and shouted out.
"Here we are." Zhong Yuxiu went back to the room and closed the door to isolate the cold air.
Sun Ruhong asked: "Yuxiu, what are you going to do when you dismantle the cotton tires and get some old clothes back?" ”
"I'm going to make some clothes." After saying that, Sun Ruhong saw that she didn't want to talk more, and didn't ask more, "Then do you want us to help you?" We're idle and can help. ”
Zhong Yuxiu declined, "Thank you, Sister Ruhong, I'm idle now, so I should pass the time." ”
"Okay, call us when you need help."
"Okay."
It took three days to make six sets of thin cotton jackets, with little cotton left in the cotton tires and three sets of thin coats; The old clothes have been cut, which is very different from the old clothes before them.
Under the pretext of looking for firewood, he wandered around the mountains for two days before he had a chance, and when he came out to collect firewood with Wanxue Tang, he stuffed the package to him.
"Two sets of padded jackets per person, one set of thin coats and jackets per person, and you can keep the fine grain to eat." The voice fell, and without waiting for communication, he crossed Wan Xuetang and went straight down the mountain.
Wan Xuetang was stunned for a moment, looked back and saw Zhong Yuxiu go away, for a long time, and sighed in a low voice; I didn't care about picking up the firewood, so I picked up the package and hurried back to the cowshed, "I'm back." ”
"Why did you come back so soon?" An old man asked.
"Lao Ding, Lao Yu, I met a kind person on the mountain." Wan Xuetang opened the package, revealing the clothes and a small bag of flour inside, two sets of cotton jackets and one thin coat for one person, "People have told them, two sets of cotton jackets for one person, and one set of thin clothes." ”
The two old men understood that it was not good to be seen with such a thing in their hands, so they naturally had to come back early. I looked through the clothes and found that the outside was patched old clothes, and the inside was new cotton wool, and they had mixed tastes for a while.
"Who's so nice?" Yu Lao asked.
Wan Xuetang was holding a cotton jacket and thin clothes, his expression was complicated and indescribable, and he faintly regretted that he shouldn't have been so ruthless at the beginning.
Ding Lao said: "We always have to know who sent it, don't worry, we promise not to say it." ”
Wan Xuetang sat on the ground, looking depressed, looking at the two old men for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's Zhong Zhiqing from Zhiqing." "I can't say anything else, he didn't know anything about what his biological daughter did, but he just felt that he owed his own daughter, and his adopted daughter didn't have substantial harm, so he let it go.
"Zhong Zhiqing?" Ding Lao muttered to himself, and then laughed at himself: "Now we can't protect ourselves, there is no tomorrow today, what can we do if we know who it is?" ”
Yu Lao was silent, Wan Xuetang's heart was sour, and he felt guilty for treating Zhong Yuxiu badly; He taught in a high school, and he didn't have to be devolved, but because of his bent defense of his own daughter, he was beaten into a stinky old nine, and the capitalist leftists were sent down. If you can come here, you still rely on someone above, if not, I am afraid that you will go to the three northeastern provinces; It's so difficult here, if you really go to the three northeastern provinces, then there is really no way to live.
.......
Zhong Yuxiu returned to the educated youth point and no longer asked about the cowshed, during the winter of the cat, she either chatted with the house or slept; Yuxiu is no exception, but she has one more choice - reading books, high school textbooks can rely on understanding physics, and what she lacks the most is the ability to understand logic. Therefore, the focus of learning is on the knowledge points of liberal arts, the honest recitation that should be memorized, and the honest learning that should be learned.
The political textbooks of the seventies tended to worship the wind, which was the most troublesome; In order to learn it again in the future, Yuxiu stumbled with political textbooks, and she was really knocked down.
When I was tired of reading, I took out the fabric that was returned by Yan Rushan, and the brand of the lattice gray fabric that was sent out was really good; This kind of fabric can also be used as a shirt, so Zhong Yuxiu designed a simple style, the neckline is not a lapel, but a short straight collar.
Shirts look simple, but they need to be made with great precision, otherwise, a little detail can ruin the clothes.
eight meters of fabric, made three shirts and two straight-leg trousers; Chinese New Year's Eve ago made clothes out and gave them to Yan Rushan.
"Brother Yan, you don't want the fabric, I made the clothes; I don't know if it fits, go put it on and try it! If it doesn't fit, change it for me. ”
Yan Rushan stared at the girl who was talking with her head up in front of her, and her heart was uneasy, "Thank you." ”
"If you want to thank you, I thank you, I'll go back first, and if it's not suitable, change it for me." Zhong Yuxiu waved her hand and turned around and went back to the house.
Sun Ruhong and the others in the house stepped forward and laughed at her, "Look, look, and said that it doesn't matter, the clothes are all delivered." ”
"Yuxiu, are you really dealing with Yan Zhiqing?" Jiang Mei asked softly with a smile in her eyes.
"Nothing." Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and said, "Didn't you exchange old clothes with Brother Yan before!" He wouldn't do it, so he sent the fabric back; People don't know how to make clothes, they don't want fabrics, I can't help but be interesting! ”
"Oh......." Sun Ruhong elongated her voice, with a deep meaning, "It turns out that Comrade Yan can't make clothes!" ”
Jiang Mei also got it, "Yuxiu, are you really boring to Yan Zhiqing?" ”
"No, I'm working hard now to survive." I have a plan for many things in the future, and I don't have time to indulge in love.
After seven lives, she has never met true love.
Before you know it, it's the New Year's Festival, and the countryside is simple, and so is the educated youth.
The materials were insufficient, Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan discussed, and the two went up the mountain together to hunt three pheasants and five hares; A few days after the Chinese New Year's Eve, I saw meat at the dinner table, which is considered a good year.
After the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the winter days of cats ended, and the production team began to organize members to pull weeds and loosen the soil.
Each squad of the production brigade has a lot of fields, and it will take at least more than a month to tidy up the fields and put the manure sample plots on the manure sample plots; At that time, the weather will warm up, and corn, sorghum, and sweet potatoes will be ready to be planted.
There was no worry about rations, Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan did not go up the mountain again after the beginning of spring, they went down to the ground day by day, and they wanted to rest when they returned to the Zhiqing Institute to eat.
