"Then the girl is stirring up trouble again?" Wang Xiuying looked at Wang Lian's back as if she was fleeing, and her brows were so furrowed that she could kill a fly.

After they came once last time, Wang Xiuying was always on guard, for fear that another sister-in-law would hurt her little daughter-in-law like the previous sister-in-law who lacked German soldiers.

"No, she's here to sue Xiao Heping." Song Enli brought out the raw materials for the sofa that had been hidden in Xiao Heping's room in advance.

Wang Xiuying heard that she was suing Xiao Heping for being black, and she was anxious, "What's wrong with the fourth?" ”

"said that Xiao Heping was too good-looking, stealing the limelight from others, so that they couldn't take their eyes off."

"You kid." Wang Xiuying knew that Song Enli was teasing her as soon as she heard it, but the little daughter-in-law was happy to praise her old son for his good looks, and she couldn't help but feel a little more proud on her face, "It's not that my mother sells herself and boasts, the fourth child doesn't have to pick anywhere, and it's only those who are stupid that they think that Piri has a brick-like face that looks good." ”

She took away the large piece of thick linen cloth that Song Enli was holding, "What are you doing with all this linen?" ”

"To make a sofa cover, this is wear-resistant and not easy to get dirty, I plan to buy a sewing machine in the afternoon, otherwise this project is too big." Xiao Heping didn't know where to get a sewing ticket, and Song Enli himself was not interested in needlework and kept it, which is just coming in handy now.

In this era, the sewing machine was probably the rarity of the bicycle in the eyes of men, and in the seventies, it was directly added to the bride price, and the radio, watch, and bicycle formed four major pieces, which is the legendary "three rings and one turn", which is the highest specification.

So when she heard the word "sewing machine", Wang Xiuying, who likes to do needlework, also showed her eagerness to try, "You should buy one, I heard that many people in the city buy this thing when they get married, and let the fourth child buy it for you, we can't be less than others, and then my mother will use the sewing machine to make sofa covers for you." ”

Song Enli took out a large piece of cotton cloth again, "I want to go by myself, I haven't been out for a long time, and I'm almost stuffy." ”

Starting with a cold, then being hospitalized, and now pregnant, she feels like a hen in her nest.

Wang Xiuying helped move out all the remaining sponges and wood in the room, "Then let the fourth child go with you, otherwise we won't be able to move back, and the fourth child can rest assured." ”

"Ugh." Song Enli remembered the textbook she promised to help Wang Baosheng get it, and pondered that she would go to the meat factory to find Director Yang after buying the sewing machine later, otherwise she would go to the meat factory by herself, and the elementary school teacher would definitely not take care of her.

Sewing machines, as one of the eighteen kinds of scarce materials in 61 years, were not easy to buy, and they were only available in state-run stores occasionally, and the brands were not complete, so Xiao Heping directly asked Xiao Sun to drive them to the department store.

Because it is far away from the division, the things in it are not rare, Song Enli has rarely been in this place, but it is a fact that the things inside are relatively complete.

I have to say that well-dressed people are treated everywhere, and even the middle-aged saleswoman who used alabaster to make herself fragrant saw them, and it was rare not to hold her head high and look at people with her nostrils, with a rusty and restrained smile, "What brand of sewing machine do the two comrades need?" ”

There are several sewing machines of all kinds on the display table, with black heads, chrome rollers, cast iron pedals, brown solid wood countertops, and various brands such as "Standard", "Bee" and "Flying Man" in Shanghai.

Song Enli took out the sewing ticket from his pocket and handed it to the salesman, "Standard." ”

"One hundred and fifty industrial vouchers."

"Okay, just the standard, let's issue an invoice." Song Enli counted fifteen pieces of great unity and twenty-five industrial coupons.

Seeing that they said they would buy it, there was no hesitation at all, and several people who came to see the sewing machine were envious.

Sewing machines are rare, and bicycles have to be purchased with tickets and industrial vouchers, and it is rare for a unit to get a sewing ticket a year, and it is also scored to draw lots in batches, and if you don't catch it this year, you may have to wait a few years before you have a second chance to draw lots.

Xiao Heping's ticket was returned to him by others, and the division headquarters had the advantage of having more people and could get three tickets every year, and it happened that he was assigned to a company-level cadre this year, and he was caught by Xiao Heping's next company commander, and the company commander borrowed a sewing machine from Xiao Heping when he got married, otherwise Song Enli just wanted him to have nowhere to find it for a while.

After buying a sewing machine, Xiao Heping, who was a father, pulled Song Enli to buy some things for babies, small bowls, small spoons, small toys, small clothes, etc., which were quite limited.

The children of this era are not so precious, they basically wear the clothes left over by their brothers and sisters, not to mention toys or something, it would be good to be able to eat rice soup.

Xiao Sun helped put the things in the trunk, and a sewing machine and some miscellaneous things filled it to the brim.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the meat factory to find Director Yang to get textbooks, Song Enli went to the finance department to collect the salary for December, and she had a fever the day before Xiao Heping's birthday, and she kept it.

got the salary and nodded, "Accountant Mao, you didn't make a mistake, so much?" ”

She went to Shanghai last month to take a few days off, but her salary was still 32 yuan.

"That's right." The accountant carefully checked the salary schedule, "Director Yang said that you helped the factory to go to Shanghai last month to do business, and you have time to bring train tickets, accommodation tickets or something, and these factories can be reimbursed if you are tolerant." ”

"......" Song Enli didn't want to expose Director Yang's fake public welfare, so he said: "Okay, bring it when I come to work." ”

She clicked the ticket in her hand and gave a tea ticket to Accountant Mao, it seems that all men in the office like to drink tea, and Accountant Mao is no exception.

She doesn't need it anyway.

It was not difficult for Accountant Mao to get tea tickets, but he accepted Song Enli's affection and said a lot of kind words.

The tickets for the last month of the year were more abundant than usual, and some scarce items such as rice, fine noodles, garlic cloves, and green onions began to resume supply, and the oil was also two taels more than usual.

Passing by the office of the factory committee, Song Enli went in to chat with Sister Miao and them for a while, and received a verbal invitation by the way, Xiaozhang is going to get married at the end of this month, which happens to be the fifteenth day of the first month.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is Shangyuan, this day is the worst, Sister Miao and Lao Zhou are still talking about why they can't change one day.

Song Enli didn't say anything, and congratulated him in advance with a smile, "I will definitely come then." ”

Xiao Heping and they have a holiday three days before the New Year, that is to say, there is still a week, the two discussed that they would get married at the end of the year on the day of the New Year, anyway, they can't do a big deal, at most they will invite a few relatives and friends to have a meal, and there is nothing to prepare, Xiao Heping will have to return to the army three days after the New Year, and it is estimated that she will have to come back with her, so the fifteenth day of the first month will definitely catch up.

"You've been sick for so many days, I want to go and see you, but I can't find a place, and I thought I would have to see it after the New Year." Sister Miao took out a letter from the drawer for her, "This is what I helped you receive a few days ago, and it was sent from Lu Province." ”

"I had a high fever in the cold, and I was going to take only a few days off, but our family invited all the people at the end of the year, and we just rested after a few days for the New Year." Wang Xiuying repeatedly told her that she couldn't tell others when she was pregnant, but Song Enli didn't mention it.

She probably guessed that it was Luo Liqiu who sent her a letter, except for her, she had no friends in Lu Province, so she put the letter in her pocket casually, "Is Director Yang here today?" I'm looking for him for something. ”

"Coincidentally, I went to the subordinate unit to inspect."

"So, do any of you know the teacher at our elementary school? Our brigade wants to find out that the school lacks textbooks, and we want to borrow a set and return it when the copy is finished, or it will not take two days. "It's hard to run again, and after a few days, I'll go back to my hometown, and Xiao Heping may not be able to let her out again.

Sister Miao raised her chin towards Lao Zhou with a smile, "His daughter-in-law is the teacher of our factory primary school, so it's right to look for him." ”

There is a friendship with tea, so I have to help Lao Zhou, "This point should still be in class, and I'm just taking you over now." ”

"Thank you so much, I'll get you some good tea when I go back." Song Enli said goodbye to Sister Miao and them, and followed Lao Zhou downstairs.

Seeing Da Gas parked downstairs, Lao Zhou was dumbfounded.

He has never been in such a good car in his life, and he is still in the army!
