Chapter 208: Three Pieces of Underwear
Alright, you all don't make a fuss. Du Mei hurriedly spoke out to stop it, otherwise the three cousins would have to quarrel.
"Plum isn't it for your good." After a pause, Chunhua still couldn't help but mutter.
"That'...... Well, if you dare to make one by yourself, I will do it! Chunya said coldly, and she raised her neck with an expression of seeing what you do.
"We ...... It's not like we don't have ......" Chunhua was suddenly a little shy, but she refused to leave the wind behind.
"Actually, underwear is very comfortable to wear, you can wear it with or without it." Du Mei smiled as they argued.
"Look, whether Meizi said it is the same or not, it depends on whether you can do it or not!" Chunya held back her laughter proudly, a posture of sisterhood, one glory and one loss.
"Okay, let's make one each!" Chunhua glanced at the autumn fruit, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, as if she was out of the way.
"This isn't some kind of flood beast, so why are you afraid of it?" Du Mei shook his head amusedly.
"Let's make one piece, I'm afraid we're going to get tired of plums." Qiu Guo said a little unbearably.
"It's not enough to be tired, only the cloth I bring is not enough, do you have muslin at home?" Du Mei only planned to make one for Chunya, but it was naturally not enough to make three pieces at once.
"The cotton cloth is there, and I still have some left from making underwear, but it's red, okay?" Chunya pinched the corners of her clothes a little shyly.
"As long as it's cotton, you should still have red threads." Du Mei is not picky, married, red is better.
"Yes, yes, I'll get it for you." Chunya pushed the door and went out.
"I have a milky white one here, do you still have it at home?" Du Mei turned around and asked Sister Chunhua.
"I'll go back and find out." Qiu Guo also walked away with his feet raised.
"Meizi, take a look at Sister Chunya's wedding dress, she can't take it off anymore." Chunhua handed Du Mei a red wedding dress embroidered with mandarin duck and hibiscus.
"Sister Chunya is just too thin, do you have cotton? Find something for me, and think of a way to hold up the clothes when they are worn. Du Mei looked at the wedding dress carefully.
While talking, Spring Sprout and Autumn Fruit returned. Qiuguo turned out a piece of black cotton cloth out of nowhere, and when Chunya saw it, she glared at her fiercely.
"Sister, that's what I found." Qiu Guo was furious by her, and said aggrievedly.
"I think, if you want to find something to eat, make sure you find one by one." Chunhua glanced at her and stood up, intending to go home and find it herself.
"I think black is good, don't bother." Dumela held the spring flowers.
"Really? I have cloth at home. Chunhua listened to Du Mei's words, and was a little unconvinced, which girl didn't want to wear flowers, who wore this black color.
"Let's measure it." Du Mei put the three pieces of cloth and matched them with threads of the same color.
"Hurry up! Don't ink. Chunhua was the first to unbutton her clothes. Seeing this, Autumn Fruit and Spring Bud also shyly began to undress.
Du Mei measured them in turn, and wrote down the measurements on a piece of paper. The three of them put on their clothes and sat down at the table, their faces flushed.
Because of making a few underwear for Qingwu, Du Mei saved some experience, and the three of them were familiar with the car, and soon sewed the prototype.
"Are you trying together, or are you trying one by one?" Du Mei spread the three pieces on the table.
"This ......" The three of them looked at each other and twisted.
"We'll all go out in a while, Sister Chunya, you're the biggest, you come first. If you don't wear it well, or if it's too big or too small, you call me, and I can change it. Du Mei got up and went out with the Chunhua sisters.
"Plum ...... Come on. Du Mei had just stood outside the house for a while when he heard the snorting of the spring sprout mosquito.
"It's like this, it seems to be a little big, I'll change it later." Du Mei taught her how to dress and changed the recorded measurements.
Du Mei was afraid that spring flowers and autumn fruits would not be able to wear them, so he simply taught them. The two went into the house together, and after a while they came out together, and the two of them looked at each other excitedly, and said to Du Mei with a smile, the size was just right.
Du Mei changed Chunya's underwear and let her try it again. The three girls accompanied Du Mei to talk and laugh, and half a day passed.
"It seems that you can't do it today, you can go to my house tomorrow night to get it." Du Mei packed up the needlework.
"yes, okay." The three of them said in unison.
What they wore was just a rudimentary form, and if it was done, it would definitely be very comfortable, and the three of them couldn't help but look forward to it.
Du Mei wrapped the three underwear in the furoshiki and walked back with his arm on it.
"Huh? Plum! The second stunned man chased the ox cart from behind and shouted enthusiastically.
"You're back." Du Mei, who heard the shouting, turned around and saw that it was them, so he stood by the side of the road and waited.
"Sister Meizi, sit here." The eldest girl made room for Du Mei to sit in the carriage.
"You're back, will Ming'er come to town with us?" The second stunned man wished that Du Mei would be a town in the store every day.
"Something in the grain store?" Du Mei asked suspiciously.
"There is nothing big in the store, originally the duck eggs were not easy to sell these days, and today Sister-in-law Pang took the duck eggs to Hanshan Town to sell. As a result, you know how? I was rushed to buy it! The big girl said with a smile.
"Let's sell it for Sister-in-law Pang for a few days, Hanshan Town is not as big as Sheshan Town, and in less than ten days, I'm afraid it won't be sold." Du Mei originally wanted to let the black dragon be sold in his town, but now that they have done so, it will only be interesting to see if the result is as Du Mei said.
"What then?" The eldest girl thought it was a good idea, but Du Mei said that she had no idea.
"It's nothing more than going to a bigger place and getting more people to buy. I am going to go to Qinghe County in a few days, there are many chickens and ducks in our countryside, there are few people who buy eggs, and there are many people in the county, so we may be more particular about food. Du Mei has great hopes for Boss Bian introduced by Qian Maoda.
"That's all it can be." The eldest girl nodded, she didn't have much to do for a while.
Talking all the way, the eldest girl and the second stunned man went home separately, and Du Mei drove the ox cart back.
It was still early, Du Tao led the cattle to the river beach to graze, and Du Mei continued to make underwear in his house.
"Meizi, what are you doing here?" Du Mei was doing needlework and wanted to sell duck eggs, but she didn't expect Xu to come in.
"Give...... Underwear made for the three Chunhua sisters. Du Mei suddenly felt nervous about being caught as a thief.
"Underwear?" Obviously, Xu hadn't seen it either, she asked suspiciously.
"Well, isn't Sister Chunya going to get married, but ...... Where is she...... Too small to hold ......," Dumay stammered, like a knot in his tongue.
"Oh, Komatsu is asleep, I'll help you embroider." Xu Shi looked at the black and white pieces on the table, and Du Mei was still holding the red in his hand. She seemed calm, just thinking about whether she could help.
"I'll come myself, they'll come tomorrow night." The patterns on the underwear are fine and broken, the embroidery is cumbersome, and it hurts the eyes, Du Mei doesn't want her mother to work hard.
"Oh well. I originally wanted to tell you that your Uncle Zhong came to say at noon that he wanted to work in the county seat tomorrow, and asked if there was anything else he needed to do. Xu Shi remembered and said.
"There's nothing big at home, it's just a tree in the field." Du Mei also knew that Du Zhong's father and son had a difficult life, and it was not easy to be idle at this time, and he was right to think about earning more money.
"That's what I told him, and he asked you as if you were the head of the family." Xu Shi said with a smile.
"Uncle Zhong is just afraid that he will leave, and he will not be able to help if something happens. It doesn't matter, I'll see them later. Du Mei thought about it, dropped the needle and thread, and went out of the house with Xu.
She found a pocket, filled half a bag of japonica rice in the granary, and carried it on her back to see Du Zhong and his son, and Xu took ten duck eggs for her to bring.
"Meizi, what are you doing here?" Du Zhong was lighting the fire in the stove, and when he saw Du Mei coming in, he hurriedly greeted her and took the rice bag on her shoulder.
"Uncle Zhong, I'll send you some rice." Du Mei put the duck eggs on the table and clapped his hands.
"I've already eaten the duck eggs, I have the rice, why do you give it again!" Du Zhong's swarthy face was black and red.
Du Mei lifted the lid of the pot and scooped it up with a large spoon, only to see some corn residues and pumpkins tumbling up.
"Uncle Zhong, it's all my fault, I've been too busy lately, and I haven't taken care of you." Du Mei had tears in her eyes, and she didn't know if it was because of the heat or because she was sad.
"It's none of your business, you've given me everything you should have given me." Du Zhong rubbed the corners of his clothes.
"Grandpa, haven't given it to you yet?" Du Mei asked with a sour nose.
"Hey, don't worry, your grandfather is sick, you have to see the doctor first." Du Zhong shook his hand honestly.
"They ......" Du Mei didn't continue, Du Shicheng was sick, he definitely couldn't manage these things, it must be Wei who fooled Du Zhong, and Du Zhong was a sympathetic.
"Hurry up and add some japonica rice to cook together, what you do is hard work, just eat these, where can you be full." Du Mei bent down to untie the rice bag and took out some rice with a liter.
"Meizi, thank you. I'm coming, I'm coming. Du Zhong grabbed it and took it, poured most of the rice back into the rice bag, leaving only a handful to wash it and pour it into the pot.
"Uncle Zhong, I have a grain store now, if I don't even have you to eat, what else will I do." Du Mei sat down in the stove and lit the fire.
"It's dirty there, carefully dirty your clothes, or I'll come." Du Zhong said hurriedly.
"Uncle Zhong, don't see outside, if you have any difficulties, you must tell me." Under Du Zhong's urging, Du Mei had to get up and stand aside, looking at Du Zhong who was busy working in the stove and said.
"Well, we're fine. What about you? The fire in the stove was booming, reflecting Du Zhong's blushing face.
"We don't have anything to do, Ming'er, you can rest assured to go to Yunshang Embroidery Village to work." Du Mei said with a smile.
"The work in the field, you just have to call Du Shu, you girls don't be strong." Du Zhong raised his head and looked at Du Mei.
It's only been more than half a year, and the girl who grew up watching her grow up really become a big girl. Selling food, building houses, opening grain shops, and exterminating locusts, even he, a big man, may not be better than her.
"Got it." Seeing that the pot was boiling, Du Mei helped stir it with a large spoon.
"It's not early, go back, don't worry your mother." Du Zhong looked outside the door, and the sky darkened unconsciously.
