Aiyun was overjoyed, followed Duoduo into Liu Cuihua's room, turned her body in front of the dressing mirror, and admired the appearance of herself in new clothes and new dresses, she was really beautiful, she was very surprised.

Duoduo walked to the sewing machine and sat down, and began to sew, the clothes were very easy to make, one was sewn in less than five minutes, and half an hour later, all six clothes were ready.

Liu Cuihua went into the house and opened the box and took ten yuan, put it on the five-drawer cabinet, pressed it with a wooden comb, walked to Duoduo, picked up a piece of clothing and looked at it, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?" But immediately he exclaimed in astonishment, "You actually made a new cloth for clothing!" ”

She had a very loud voice, which attracted everyone else in the family at once, and of course Tao Aijia didn't come in.

Tao Aiguo and Tao Aimin didn't say anything, and they felt that Duoduo was a loser, and after a while, Tao Aiguo said angrily: "Duoduo, we are rural people, and we can't compare with people in the city." ”

Everyone meant this, and Liu Yongfang also said: "You have to listen to what the eldest brother says." He sighed and walked out.

Duoduo is aggrieved and self-conscious, such a private matter is known to everyone in the family.

Duoduo came out of Liu Cuihua's room with Aiyun holding those clothes, and saw Lin Yongfang talking to her sister-in-law by the kitchen, so she handed over the things in her hand to Aiyun and said to her, "You go back to the house first, I have something to tell my mother." ”

Aiyun was well-behaved and carried her things into the thatched hut where they lived.

Duoduo walked behind Lin Yongfang and saw that she was handing over thirty yuan to her eldest brother Tao Aiguo: "Take this money to buy a little pig baby and come back, our family can't not raise a pig, otherwise there will be no money for activities by the end of the year." ”

The family has to raise a pig every year, and sell it for hundreds of dollars at the end of the year, and the money for filial piety to the elderly during the New Year, the money for the New Year's goods, and the bits and pieces of expenses for a year all point to the hundreds of dollars for selling pigs, if there are no pigs to sell at the end of this year, the year will be sad.

Tao Aiguo said: "I have thought of this for a long time, I have already brought the money to buy the pig baby, so don't give it to my mother." ”

Liu Cuihua's face darkened on the side.

Lin Yongfang saw it in his eyes, and even stuffed the money to buy the pig baby to his eldest son no matter what: "Your money is yours, and this pig belongs to the whole family, how can you ask the two of you to pay this money?" ”

Tao Aiguo didn't answer: "If you settle accounts like this, you won't be able to pay it out, and we won't have a penny of food expenses!" ”

Lin Yongfang saw that his eldest son refused to accept it, so he stuffed the money into Liu Cuihua's hand: "I can support the family with Duoduo Aiguo now, what kind of food expenses do you want you to pay?" You have all saved your money, built a new house, and lived a good life without worrying about food and clothing. ”

Liu Cuihua pretended to push and took the money, Tao Aiguo didn't speak again, what to say, Lin Yongfang always served a bowl of water very flat, plus he also knew that what Lin Yongfang said was true, but the more this happened, the more he felt sad, feeling that he was not a good big brother and did not take care of his younger brothers and sisters, but his younger brothers and sisters were subsidizing him in disguise.

Lin Yongfang turned around, saw Duoduo standing behind him, and asked, "Hey, why are you standing stupidly here, go and change your clothes and prepare to catch the market." ”

"Mom, come and talk." Duoduo whispered.

Lin Yongfang looked at Duoduo in a little surprise, what do you have to say behind someone's back? But she still followed Duoduo out of the yard.

Liu Cuihua secretly went out of the courtyard after a little contemplation, raised her eyes, and saw Duoduo and Lin Yongfang talking under a willow tree not far away, so she walked over lightly and eavesdropped.

"Mom, there are five yuan in the money paid for the compensation yesterday for medical expenses and lost work, have you given it to your sister-in-law?"

Lin Yongfang remembered, patted his head and said: "I still remember when I went to bed last night, but I forgot it all in the morning, and I can't remember anything when I'm old." ”

Duoduo said sweetly: "Mom is not old, Mom is the most beautiful." As he spoke, he put his arm around Lin Yongfang's neck and pouted her face, Lin Yongfang smiled: "The older I get, the more I love to be coquettish, and I am not ashamed." ”

Duoduo rolled his eyelids: "I'm not ashamed!" Girls are naturally spoiled. ”

Then he didn't forget to advise: "Mom remember to pay off all the debts that our family owes to others today." ”

Lin Yongfang said: "I won't forget this, the family's debts are half short when I see people's families, and I have already paid off this Zhuang Xin, and I wanted to repay it last night, but it turned out that kind of thing, and today I have to repay the money no matter what." ”

She didn't dare to put the money in her hands for too long, if it was known, her mother-in-law's family would pounce on her and grab it, but she was afraid that the two families would fight.

Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief, she was also worried that her mother would not be able to keep the money, so she urged her mother to pay it back quickly.

The two turned around and walked towards their house, and Duoduo said as they walked, "Mom, I want to sell those new clothes." ”

In the 70s, there were very few individuals doing business, at most buying and selling some grain or agricultural products such as chickens and ducks, and Lin Yongfang had never heard of anyone selling clothes.

Besides, those clothes are of such good quality, what a pity to sell, Duoduo herself does not have any clothes, when Lin Yongfang used to be a girl, because her family was poor, there were many brothers and sisters, she did not wear a good dress, she always remembered, when she went to relatives during the Chinese New Year, she borrowed her aunt's clothes to wear, as big as a robe, it didn't fit at all, and her own Fantasia was too hard, she really hoped that her daughter would live a better life than her, a little happier, so she didn't want Duoduo to sell those clothes.

So he persuaded: "You don't have any clothes that you see, don't sell them, keep them for yourself, and besides, our family is already poor like this, and I don't care about your money." ”

She still hasn't said a little, in a few months, Duoduo will be eighteen, it's time to talk about the in-law's family, there are a few good clothes to wear to the market, and the people look outstanding, which will attract more attention from future generations.

Duoduo didn't like those styles at all, it was too ugly in her eyes, she wanted to sell the clothes, buy the fabric back, and make it herself, so she told Lin Yongfang what she was planning in her heart.

Those styles are so foreign, Duoduo doesn't like it!

Lin Yongfang looked at Duoduo with incomprehensible eyes: "You take it and sell it, who can afford it?" ”

"Try it." It doesn't matter if you don't sell anything, you can't sell it anyway, and the things are still there.

"Then you can try." Lin Yongfang hesitated for a moment, and said this, Duoduo, this child has become more thoughtful than before, Lin Yongfang feels that he can't stop her, so he simply doesn't stop her.

And Lin Yongfang didn't believe that anyone would be able to afford such expensive clothes, so she let Duoduo run into the wall, so that she would retreat.
