They were completely separated from the big room and the second room, the wall next to the kitchen was as close as the house, and every sun-facing window was frosted, and there was no ventilation, so there was no room for ventilation, and there was no room for people in the front yard at all.

This made Meng Guixiang, who had been accustomed to grasping everything at home in her hands for five years, had a fire in her heart, and had nowhere to vent, so she could only glance at Du Jinhan, who was stunned looking at the new doors and windows, and said: "Han girl, you can't rely on Du Xuze's little rabbit cub for your work, you have to take a good exam and recruit for me, and there is no money left at home for you to wipe your face and head." Before you get married, you pay half of your salary. ”

Du Jinhan pursed his lips tightly, and entered the house without answering with his braids.

"You're not happy to say two words about you? You don't want to think about who raised you with a handful of and urine, and you haven't hired a job yet, and your wings are stiff? If you have the ability, you can learn from a girl from the countryside, find a capable man to marry tomorrow, and let the old lady and your brothers stammer! ”

The sour words that came out of the sharp throat spread far and wide in the alley where the north wind was howling.

After eating, the four women and their three children went out shopping.

This time, they still ran to the East Gate Market, where the goods are complete and varied, which is not comparable to the old department stores. They walked from counter to counter and bought necessities when they came across them.

However, Zuo Ranjia felt that this was the case between Liang's mother and them, so they purchased it very completely, and they didn't buy much along the way, but everyone carried most of the food in large bags.

When it came to the area where wiring was sold, Zuo Ranjia looked carefully, people at this time were very pragmatic, although the variety and color of the fabric were not very rich, and the workmanship was fine, durable and comfortable. With a little effort, she can make the finished product within the acceptable range, with timeless retro elements.

She thought about the clothes and bedding she needed to make, and asked for some colored cotton threads, red, coffee, beige, black, army green woolen and corduroy cloth, coarse cloth, solid colors and a few kinds of floral cotton cloth, cotton, as well as several colors of wool and cashmere thread, and naturally denim that was not popularized as workwear, as well as various buttons.

Zuo Ranjia bought a lot of everything, although the price was cheap, but the two hundred yuan also went out like a stream, plus a bunch of tickets.

Seeing her such a crazy purchase, Liang's mother and the others were a little entangled on their faces, block it, they are only half an elder, and before going out, Du Xuze also told them in private not to disturb Zuo Ranjia's interest. Don't stop it, they are worried about their godson again, the girls in the countryside spend more money than them, and they don't know what their life will be like in the future.

After Du Xuze had eaten, he came to Dongmen Market with Duan Wenjian, Feng Kunliang and Pang Jingbo, and quickly found them after inquiring a few words. They took the things from the women's hands and patiently accompanied them for another walk.

Liang's mother and the three said that they would greet them in time if they had something, don't be polite, if there is nothing serious, they will come back early in the morning on the day of the wedding banquet. After explaining this sentence, they didn't listen to the words of gratitude of the little couple, so they scattered in the East Gate Market and went back to their respective homes.

Duan Wenjian and the others sent the things back to the Du family before leaving together.

Du Xuze helped put everything away, the two of them washed their faces with water, looked at the full house, and laughed out loud, their eyes full of infinite longing for the future.

Everyone was crowded in this room with nothing to do, Du Xuze made a stove and sat on a kettle, the window opened a small crack, and the warm and warm atmosphere deeply moved the Du family.

Today is the seventeenth day of the lunar month, the twenty-first banquet, they still have a lot of work, Zuo Ranjia didn't dare to rest anymore, she looked at the table below It was already half past three in the afternoon, she washed the two sets of autumn clothes, socks, and underwear bought for each of the three small ones with hot water, and put them on the stove to bake.

Zuo Ranjia turned out the fabrics he bought and put them on the small table, took out rulers, scissors, chalk, notebooks and pens, and called the Du family one by one, and measured the size one by one, and did not even let go of the head circumference and foot length.

She first picked out a piece of floral cotton cloth, did not measure it with a ruler, and lowered the scissors with a glance of her eyes, and the crisp sound of clicking and cutting on the cloth made people's ears tingle comfortably.

After cutting, she took it to the sewing machine, very skillfully online and turned the flywheel, stepped on the footboard and worked, looking at the big and three small heads a little dizzy, before she could shake her senses, people had already locked a white background pink flower small tender leaves of the cloth curtain to lock the edge of the car.

Zuo Ranjia smiled and cut the thread, handed it to Du Jinqi and said, "Qiqi, this is the curtain in your house, let your eldest brother nail it for you." ”

Du Jinqi opened his small mouth, looked at the beautiful curtain in his arms, and turned his head to look at Du Xuqing.

Du Xuqing smiled and touched her little head, "Qiqi, why don't you thank your sister-in-law?" In the future, you will not only have Brother Qing and me and your second brother, but also your eldest brother and sister-in-law! You don't have to be afraid, the third uncle and three aunts, grandpa and those brothers and sisters don't live with us, we will have new clothes to wear every year in the future, and we can eat and grow tall like our eldest brother! ”

Du Jinqi nodded vigorously, and Du Xuyuan also nodded fiercely.

Zuo Ranjia and Du Xuze glanced at each other, one of their eyes were red with distress, and the other was weak-hearted.

Alas, no matter how powerful a big man is, no matter how much money he takes from the family, he can't do everything, the children are sensible and always report good news and not bad news, so he thought that although he would not be too happy to live under his uncle and aunt, he didn't expect it to be so bad.

He took the three little guys into his arms with some guilt, and seriously promised: "The eldest brother was wrong before, but the eldest brother promised you that he would never leave you again in the future, okay?" ”

Du Xuqing said okay, but Du Xuyuan and Du Jinqi cried loudly, holding Du Xuze's arm to vent all their grievances, fears and hesitations.

He pursed his lips and hugged his two younger siblings tightly, remembering the love his father had for him and his younger brother when he was alive, and when his father was gone, he should take on the responsibility of the eldest brother and take care of his younger brother and infant sister. But his mother gave up on them and started another family, and he was resentful and sad, and then he ran around to make money.

He didn't stand in the position of his younger brothers and sisters, thinking about it, he also enjoyed the love of his father and mother, and felt the warmth of the family, they had to send people to watch people's faces under the fence at such a young age, if it wasn't for Du Xuqing to watch, it would be a miracle to survive.

By that time, it was too late for him to regret it, and a deep fear struck.

Zuo Ranjia patted his slightly trembling shoulder, pulled out the two little ones who were crying and convulsing, and chuckled: "A curtain makes you so emotional?" Kiki, why don't you ask your eldest brother to install it for you, and look at the beauty? ”

Du Jinqi nodded with a smile, and pulled Du Xuze's arm softly: "Big brother, pretend to Qiqi." ”

"Okay," Du Xuze smiled and lifted her to his shoulders to sit down, pulled up the curtains, and looked down to see Du Xuyuan and Du Xuqing's envious and envious eyes.

He raised his eyebrows, and with his big hand, he scooped the eight-year-old Du Xuyuan on his shoulder, and said to Du Xuqing: "Boy, you don't look at how old you are, I can let you sit on your shoulder, are you embarrassed?" ”

Du Xuqing snorted twice, and saw Zuo Ranjia clicking on the sewing machine pedal again, "Sister-in-law, is this mine?" He looked at the blue and white curtains, and liked it tightly.

The two cities of Kyoto and the sea, as well as the cities that have been encroached upon along the southern coast, have always been in the preface of Chinese fashion, but Kyoto is far away from those cities, and fresh goods cannot be in sufficient supply, and they are often sold out before they can be put on the shelves, so people who have acquaintances as salesmen or directors are often envied.

Liang's mother and her sisters are well-connected, and they all go to the counters with some marginal relationships, and the salespeople also invariably take out the new goods. Fabrics like this one, which have been popular for several years, are not easy to grab.

The children have a dream of being a soldier, and the sea soul shirt has become their favorite, Du Xuqing has always only envied others, and when he saw this cloth, he was a little reluctant, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I don't need a curtain for a boy, can you make me a sea soul shirt?" ”

Zuo Ranjia took a beating on her hand and continued to be busy, she nodded and curled the corners of her lips and said, "The curtain is to be made, I will make you a few more shirts next summer." ”

Du Xuqing nodded, and continued to look at Zuo Ranjia's lock edge trimming thread head, he took it in his hand first, and shouted out the window: "Brother, are you all okay?" My curtain is ready! As he spoke, he was about to run out.

"Hey," Zuo Ranjia stopped him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the little boy from top to bottom.

Du Xuqing was furious when he was watched, and he pulled the curtain tightly, "Sister-in-law, isn't this mine?" ”

Zuo Ranjia remembered Du Xuqing in his previous life, he was a tall and thin man, his face was full of anger, and he would go up and kick his feet when he saw anyone who was not pleasing to his eyes. He doesn't seem to have even finished junior high school, and his sister has an unhappy marriage, so he runs around with the gangsters on the street, and he wants to be a capable person like his brother.

Du Xuze is a high school graduate, after his father died, he was escorted to the university for two years, and entered the Z house to work, although he applied for a thankless job, he could contact people at all levels, and he was like a sponge absorbing knowledge and experience, and he became a figure who stood up to the sky.

By the time Du Xuze noticed him, Du Xuqing had already become the object of "special care" in the bureau.

Thinking about Du Xuqing, Zuo Ranjia's mind couldn't help but think of those two little ones.

Du Xuyuan was instructed by the third aunt to climb to the roof and turn over the tiles when it was raining, his feet slipped and fell off the roof, and his legs hit the iron pieces raised by the shovel, and the nerves were cut and inflamed and amputated. He was only fifteen years old, his steps stopped at his feet, he would only bury his head in carpentry all day, and most of his hair was gray before he reached middle age.

Du Jinqi has been abused by the third aunt all the year round, and has become autistic, and the whole person is stunned, screaming and hiding when he sees a living person.

But these three people, they all remember that they were the people their eldest brother put in their hearts, and when she was in trouble, they helped each other countless times, and compared to her group of vampire brothers and sisters, they became the people who did not warm her heart.
