In the 80s, the Blue Dragon Temple was very poor, and sewing machines were considered a luxury.

But it is also a necessity for the woman who is in charge of the family's dressing and shoemaking.

After all, sewing with a needle is time-consuming and troublesome, and it is easy to sew unneatly if the craftsmanship is not good, and it is complained about by others when it is worn out.

Therefore, if a girl from any family marries a sewing machine, it must be a glorious thing for the ancestors to have a glorious new person and a face. And Xia Xiaoyu, who only got a pair of socks as a dowry, had to be complained by Ma so much that he couldn't raise his head.

But the current Xia Xiaoyu is not the original Xia Xiaoyu. The original Xia Xiaoyu was in charge of the shoes and clothes of a family of seven or eight people, and she would be scolded by Ma for a long time with a broken needle, but now she doesn't want to sew with a needle, for no other reason, just because she sewed enough.

She's going to borrow a sewing machine.

If I remember correctly, she went to Li Zhaoqing's house to cry and mourn, and the flower cloth in the back room seemed to be a sewing machine.

took the burden and wrapped the cut cloth and went to Li Zhaoqing's house.

Li's father, Li Daqiang, went to the village to earn a share of the work, and only Li's mother was at home.

Seeing Xia Xiaoyu coming, he looked very affectionate.

Xia Xiaoyu spread out the burden: "Auntie, I want to borrow your sewing machine to make clothes." ”

Mother Li looked at her cut appearance: "You still locked the edge yourself?" In the future, just use it to lock it directly. I can't find a second one in the whole village of this sewing machine, which was specially brought back by his father when he sent him to work in the city when Zhaoqing was demobilized. ”

It can be seen that this is a happy family of three.

"Well, thank you, auntie, but I haven't used a sewing machine, you can teach me."

"It's simple, and you can learn it." Mother Li was very enthusiastic to teach her where to put her feet, where to put her hands, where to press the cloth, how to turn the shaft, how to step on it with her feet, and she taught Xia Xiaoyu after a while.

The sewing machine is very easy to use, it clicks when you step on it, and the stitches are dense and even.

In the morning, all three of the children's clothes, as well as her own body, were sewn.

"If the clothes that have just been pierced are uneven, it will be good to burn them."

Mother Li's family actually had an electric soldering iron, and she was not afraid of consuming electricity, so she plugged it in Xia Xiaoyu.

After a while, Mother Li spat on the soldering iron, and the saliva disappeared with a snort, and Mother Li said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's brand." ”

Don't look at Xia Xiaoyu to make a garment steamer, but he won't make this thing, for fear of a big hole, he retracts his hand and doesn't dare to move.

Mother Li smiled, spread her clothes on the table, covered it with a wet towel, and put a soldering iron on it, and the wet towel suddenly sounded, and it was steaming white.

But where the soldering iron passed, it was as smooth as a carpet.

Xia Xiaoyu followed the example of Mother Li, took the soldering iron and burned it.

After it was baked, Xia Xiaoyu was ready to go back.

Xia Mu grabbed her and said, "Why don't you try this dress?" If it's not suitable, you can change it. ”

That's right, it's just a little embarrassing in someone else's house. Mother Li saw her concerns and said with a smile: "It's all a woman's family, what's the shame, you didn't have such a temperament before." ”

Before, she was naturally not such a character.

Since Mother Li said so, Xia Xiaoyu no longer hesitated and put on new clothes.

The fabric she chose for herself was pale cyan cotton.

The top is a loose pullover jacket, and the bottom is a belted wide-leg trousers.

How to say it, there is no cumbersome decoration, a very simple style, that is Xia Xiaoyu's pattern drawn with reference to the style of Uniqlo.

It's really because she doesn't like the kind of lapels that people here often wear, and the short sleeves with four black buttons on the placket.

And the loose clothes she cut are quite convenient for working in the countryside.
