Chapter 18: The Best Sister-in-law (18)
Xu Muhu looked at her daughter suspiciously: "Yinyin, you tell your mother honestly, are you talking about the object?" ”
"It's not! No! Xu Yin hurriedly waved her hand, "I just don't want to be a lazy girl in their mouths!" ”
Xu Mu calmed down: "Everyone really said that? ”
In these years, looking for a daughter-in-law does value diligence, and if someone's daughter has a reputation of being "lazy", it is indeed not easy to find a partner.
Even if there is a door-to-door one, it is crooked melons and cracked dates.
"Yes! Of course, they all said it behind our backs, who would dare to say it in front of you and my father? I hear it occasionally, too. Anyway, I don't want to be called a lazy girl! ”
Xu Yin hugged Xu's mother's arm and coquettishly.
"I still have to take the university entrance examination, in case it is recorded in the archives, even if I am admitted, people can not admit me."
"Huh? So serious? Mother Xu was frightened, "Isn't it just to do less housework, which must also be recorded in the file?" ”
Xu Yin nodded with a straight face: "Write everything in the file." ”
"What then? Why don't you praise your diligence when your mother goes out for a walk in the future, and your sister-in-law's work will be counted on your head? ”
"That's not good, we have to be honest, the school values moral education more than grades! Every semester there is an assessment and it is recorded in the file. Once you are caught lying or cheating, not only will your file not look good, but you will also be expelled from school. ”
"Why do you have to keep a file for everything?" Mother Xu muttered, in the end, she no longer stopped her daughter from doing housework.
even pondered about finding some housework for his daughter that was both easy and could show her face in front of the public.
Xu Yin wiped her sweat. Brainwashing is also manual work.
After washing the dishes, I went back to the house and cleaned up the room, took the seersucker with white spots on a yellow background, and came to my sister-in-law's house.
Since there were orders every week, Xu Yin persuaded Xu's mother to move the sewing machine to her brother and sister-in-law's room, and also helped move the furniture so that the sewing machine had an exclusive location with good lighting.
She handed over the retouched design drawings to Sister-in-law Xu, who would ask her a few words before, but now she can fully understand it, and she will cut it when she gets it.
Xu Yin picked out a few old buttons of the same size in the button bowl, and made a flower with a leather band and a few relatively brightly colored rags, which was very suitable for a seven or eight-year-old girl.
"Yinyin, are you still going to do this?"
Sister-in-law Xu was shocked by her skillful hands.
"It's not difficult."
Xu Yin pointed a little, and Sister-in-law Xu would too.
Sister-in-law Xu: "It's really not difficult, it's just a fee button." ”
A flower cost six buttons.
Xu Yin smiled and said, "Next time, I'll go wholesale and come back." If there are small copper buckles and imitation jade buckles, they can also be made brooches. ”
"Brooches? Is it a corsage pinned to the front of the clothes? ”
"Almost."
Sister-in-law Xu thought for a while and asked, "Is that okay to sell with clothes?" ”
Xu Yin gave her a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law, you are now thinking more and more of a strong woman." ”
"Strong woman? Who is that? ”
“……”
In the next few days, sister-in-law Xu still made clothes in the room every day.
Xu Yin was bored, squatting in the yard and starting to tinker with her bicycle.
Mother Xu thought at first that her daughter was washing the car, but later found out that she was dismantling the car.
“……”
opened his mouth and couldn't help but say, "Yin Yin, it's a good bike, why are you dismantling it?" Didn't you say you were going to your grandmother's house? Why don't you go today? ”
"No, I'll figure it out later."
She couldn't sleep last night, so she simply cleaned up the system warehouse and saw that the last time she unlocked the [Intermediate Riding Skill] system, she rewarded an electric bicycle.
This thing can't be used openly at the moment, but it doesn't prevent her from tinkering with it herself.
There are drawings, tools, and materials for core components, even if her hands-on ability is poor, she can practice a few more times in the scene simulation environment, and practice makes perfect after she can get started.
However, to be on the safe side, she didn't use the tools and parts provided by the system, but rummaged through the cabinets to find all the waste materials that could be used at home.
During this period, I also went to the county seat.
In order to hand over this deliberately old drawing to the state, he racked his brains to make up a reasonable reason.
There used to be a cowshed in the mountain behind the village, and there was a senior engineer who stayed abroad, but unfortunately his body was not good and he died of illness a few years ago. The things that could be used were divided among the villagers, and they were left to the wind and sun without much use.
There is a lot of gravel in the back mountain, and people in the village will go there to pick gravel when they build houses.
Xu Yin deduced that she picked it up when she was picking up stones, and it looked like something useful.
As a result, the people in the small place didn't understand, not only did they not accept it, but they also looked at her with a neurotic look, and finally sent her a sentence:
"When you think your back mountain is a treasure mountain, everything you dig is a treasure? When the firewood can't ignite the fire, I want to cheat the bonus......"
I had to get it back.
However, she had a lot of gains that day, spending five cents at the recycling station and finding a lot of useful things, but it was still not complete.
In the end, she took her parents behind her back and dismantled the radio at home, which is now complete.
Three days later –
"Doudou, come, my aunt will take you out for a walk."
She lifted the little bean into the back seat of the modified chair, which looked like a small upholstered chair, and with a kick of her foot, the bike slid effortlessly out of the way.
"Wow! My aunt is riding so fast! Little Douding clapped his hands happily.
Xu Yin pedaled the pedal for a while, but in fact, she didn't use any strength at all, with the light on her back and the wind, she finished riding the village road in a few minutes.
Solar electric bikes are really different!
With it, going to grandma's house is easy.
The day before she went back to school to get the report, Xu Yin went to her grandmother's house with a large watermelon on her own property.
"Yin Yin is here? Come on in! On such a hot day, it's tiring enough to ride a trip, why do you still bring a watermelon here? Such a big melon, it costs a lot of money, right? Your uncle also has a seed this year, but it's not ripe yet. ”
The temperature in the mountains is low, the crops ripen slowly, and the two vine melons are sold outside, and the first stubble melons on the mountain are ripe.
"I didn't buy it, my dad planted it himself. In the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the food is enough to eat, so my father has freed up some land to plant watermelons. This is not the biggest, my mother is worried that she will fall halfway, otherwise I will bring the biggest one to my grandmother. ”
Grandma Geng smiled from ear to ear: "This is also very big, it has to be almost twenty pounds, right?" It seems that this year's harvest is good. ”
"It's good, my family will cut rice in a few days, I went to the field to see, the ears of rice are heavy, one can be compared with the past two."
"Cut it in a few days? Then let your uncle help. Li Axiang said.
Xu Yin nodded.
This is also the reason why Xu's mother asked her to come over.
In previous years, too, the family had little labor, and they all relied on relatives to help each other.
It is also a shame that the field of my uncle's family is in the mountains, and it matures half a month later than the outside.
