Zuo Ranjia smiled and shook her head, "It's yours, but Qingzi, you can't take it for nothing." ”

Du Xuqing looked at her with some doubts, and replied in a daze: "Sister-in-law, I have eaten a full meal, and my whole body is full of strength, just do what you have to do." ”

"Don't you have winter vacation homework?" Zuo Ranjia wanted to pat him, but looking at the oily head on his head, the dirty little face and neck, he couldn't stand the cleanliness fetish.

"Sister-in-law," Du Xuqing pouted disapprenously: "There are a few people who go to school now, my brother is so powerful, when I graduate from junior high school, he can just find me a factory to stay in." ”

Zuo Ranjia frowned, not liking his unmotivated attitude. Ten years of darkness and three years have passed, and Z Mansion is still clinging to education, and without a beautiful diploma, it is impossible to gain a good foothold in society.

Her voice was a little solemn: "Qingzi, it has nothing to do with you whether others go to school or not. In the past, your brother was running outside, and you didn't have the conditions to devote yourself to studying, I can understand that, but now the family doesn't need you to stand in front of Yuanzi and Kiki like before. Your brother and I want you to study well. ”

Du Xuqing restrained the lightness on his face, and lowered his head with a good and obedient attitude.

"Kiyoko, I know you want to be like your brother and your arm shakes to attract a group of brothers who were born and died for him, but you have to have your own strength to be able to convince the public. The level of education of a person limits the size of his vision and foresight. Your brother graduated from high school and has only been in college for two years, but you can see that his suitcase was full of books of all kinds except for a few torn clothes.

Don't talk about your brother, you just see that our Chinese people have been studying since ancient times, and studying is a good way out. In the past, there was the imperial examination, and a few years ago it was the college entrance examination, but now although the society is a little special, it is the leaders who are groping for a way suitable for our China. Don't you see that schools and universities still exist? ”

Du Xuqing raised his head and pursed his lips: "Sister-in-law, now I have to recommend places for college, I don't want to make it difficult for my eldest brother." Elementary, middle, and high school teachers also spend most of their time at home, and if I go to school every day, I will be laughed at if someone knows about it. ”

"Then let your brother get you a set of books from elementary school to high school, you teach Yuanzi and Qiqi at home, and by the way, my sister-in-law will also learn it. Maybe when the college entrance examination resumes, my sister-in-law will be able to be admitted to university with you and go to study at Huaqing University, the most powerful university in Kyoto. Zuo Ranjia directly blocked Du Xuqing's various excuses, or his resistance to learning in his heart.

She didn't expect her children to be smart and smart, as long as she could study peacefully until she graduated from high school and had her own correct three views, then she would live up to their sincerity to herself in the last life.

Du Xu slumped his shoulders, "Okay, but I can't guarantee that I can learn well." ”

Zuo Ranjia clasped his forehead and chuckled: "You don't have to resist, since it also takes time, why can't Qingzi do his best?" I'm sure you're a smart kid and you'll be able to learn well. As the saying goes, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, maybe when you study solidly, the college entrance examination will resume. ”

Du Xuqing blinked his eyes, and felt that what his sister-in-law said was very right, he didn't need to work less and eat more all day now, since he promised his sister-in-law to study, it was better to study hard, which would also save time. He nodded and said seriously: "Okay then, I will do my best to catch up with the eldest brother in terms of academic qualifications first!" ”

Zuo Ranjia smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, in the future, the three of you will have to use the report card to talk about the good things you dressed." One of your eldest brother's godmothers is a high school teacher, and I will take the paper to test you once a month. Those who do well in the test will be rewarded, and those who do not do well can only watch others happy. ”

Du Xuqing suddenly refreshed, and coughed embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, learning is your own business, and the reward is not good, right?" The eldest brother in the family supports the family alone, and we just need to be fed and clothed. ”

"It's not you, a little adult, to worry about this, kid, where is the motivation to get without a reward? Go ahead and ask your brother to close your curtains. Zuo Ranjia nudged him, turned around and continued to push out the curtains on the two windows in his room.

The curtains in their room are blue flowers with red dots on a white background, fresh and elegant.

Putting the curtain on the small table, Zuo Ranjia thought about the wedding banquet time and was a little in a hurry, she was really nervous when she made the clothes of the five people in the family. She originally wanted to make a tweed dress by herself, with a cotton sandwich inside, which was stylish and warm. It's just that you can't just wear autumn clothes in the tweed, you have to put on a plastic cashmere sweater, but the cashmere sweater thread is too hard to weave, and it would be good to rush it out a year ago.

She had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, making cotton clothes and pants for the children, and gowns and pants covered with corduroy. She and Du Xuze also made a structured coat with corduroy, with a cotton lining, adults were more frost-resistant, and then wore a shirt and a hairy shoulder.

With an idea, Zuo Ranjia chose the color of the material, the corduroy windproof effect is good, the material is slightly stiff and very suitable for making coats, but it absorbs some dust, which is a problem with many fabrics.

The color of corduroy is a little retro and not too bright, black, dark green, grass green, sapphire blue, sky blue, red, orange, orange, coffee, brown, burgundy, Zuo Ranjia remembered that when the salesman asked her how much, she looked at the fabric of each color There was not much left, as a senior tailor, her love for fabric instantly washed away the few sanity in the woman's mind when shopping, and it was directly round!

It is more than enough to make three or four sets of clothes in each color, Zuo Ranjia looked at the cloth in the closet that had not yet been moved, and she could understand the subtle expressions on the faces of the three godmothers at that time. Thanks to the three godmothers, they have a wide range of channels, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get even a tenth of the bills that Du Xuze saved.

Zuo Ranjia stroked the concave and convex stripes of flannel with her hand, squinting her eyes slightly, and the word contrast suddenly hit her mind, and her temporarily shackled thoughts instantly broadened. She picked up a notebook and a pen, and her hands moved with her brain, and after a while, the front and back of the girl with simple lines were presented on the paper, and she was wearing a casual jacket with a patch on her elbows and a kangaroo pocket in front of her, and straight-leg pants on the bottom. She mentally counted the dimensions one by one.

Du Xuqing and Du Xuyuan's are ready to make the same style, but the coat of different colors, the boy is not careful about dressing, so the neckline, cuffs and large pockets on the left and right sides of the stomach are different from the main color of the clothes, and the knees of the pants also have an irregular patch.

When she just finished marking the size, a big and three laughed and walked in, looking at her stick figure on the paper, she was surprised again, and felt that she was really versatile, and even Du Xuze's face was really surprised and surprised.

made Zuo Ranjia think that she would know what a great thing, Du Jinqi loved it even more, looking at the cute girl with pencil drawings on the paper, timidly pulling the corners of her clothes, and asked in a low voice with a red face: "Sister-in-law, you, are you drawing me?" ”

"Yes," Zuo Ranjia touched her little head, and when she saw that the clothes baked by the stove were almost done, she turned her head to look at Du Xuze, who was squinting and smirking, and said angrily: "Brother Xuze, you take the three children to the bathhouse to take a good bath and change into newly bought autumn clothes or something." ”

Du Jinqi is only five years old, and it's okay to go to the men's bathhouse with her, take a bubble bath to clean up, and then she will take Qiqi to wash at home.

Du Xuze grinned in response, waved his hand and said, "Little ones, go take a bath with the king!" ”

The children were arguing and leaving, with their clothes and new towels, soap, shampoo, and slippers.

"Wait," Zuo Ranjia took advantage of everyone's inattention, and exchanged horse oil from the mall in a bottle without any label, "When you finish taking a shower, apply more of this on your face, hands and feet to treat frostbite." ”

Du Xuze took it, shook her hand warmly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you," these two words of thanks contain too much.

Zuo Ranjia pulled out her hand, and her little face was hot and she didn't look at him, but instructed a few small ones: "Let your brother rub the mud for you more, and my sister-in-law will cook at home and wait for you to eat." ”

The three little ones responded loudly in unison, urging Du Xuze to hurry up.

He reluctantly glanced at Zuo Ranjia before walking out with a large bag of things.

It was already a little dark, Zuo Ranjia rubbed her eyes, washed her hands and went into the kitchen.

Turning on the kitchen light, the dim light bulb imprinted her figure on the wall, and the cold breath made her shiver. Once again, I lamented that I had reached seventy-five years, and I had moved away from that convenient but unwarm world.

The kitchen had just been built with a worktop, and the air was filled with the smell of dirt and bricks. The spices on the workbench are neatly arranged in small clay pots, resting on two half-metre-high small shelves with two compartments. Large and small knives, axes, iron spoons, and shovels are also inserted in large clay pots, while chopsticks and soup spoons are placed in chopstick cages woven of bamboo. Bowls and plates are placed on the lowest level of the shelf.

There are four stoves on the workbench, two of which can be used for briquettes, one for gas, and the other for warm water with the help of the heat of the other three stoves. A large wooden solid cutting board is placed on the countertop, and a few boxy holes have been dug in the lower layer of the table, which can just put some pickles, pickles, eggs, vegetables and grains, saving a lot of space and looking extremely tidy.

Zuo Ranjia took an iron clip and led a briquette in the bedroom and put it in the kitchen, filled two new briquettes, and sat on the aluminum pot with water. She tossed vegetables and grains, and at this time there was already a vegetable greenhouse, but the cost was higher, and it was a problem for people to eat enough, so she did not promote it greatly.

There are many ways to buy food in Kyoto National Hotel, and there is no shortage of food in all seasons, and many leaders take the way of restaurants to buy food. It can only be said that the ticket is to limit the purchasing power of ordinary people, and for the powerful and rich, it is useless.

Eggplant, beans, cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, loofahs, pumpkins, lotus roots, onions, onions, garlic peppers, etc. filled two large bags, and a small bag of mushroom noodles and other dry goods, meat chicken, pork, duck, beef, mutton each ten catties, which really surprised her again.
