Chapter 34: Eighty Best Sister-in-law (34)
The first to bring the materials were Liu Caifeng's mother and daughter.
Liu Caifeng is the daughter-in-law of Xu Bainian, Xu's father's cousin, and in terms of seniority, Xu Yin wants to call her the fourth aunt.
Liu Caifeng brought two pieces of material, one was a defective cloth bought with Xu's mother at the exchange meeting a year ago, and she wanted to keep it for her grandchildren to make clothes, but at noon, she looked at the short-sleeved undershirt cropped pants suit that Xu's mother took out to show off, and suddenly changed her mind.
"My wife and I have one set, and the style is the same as that of Sister-in-law Jinhua."
The other piece is a light green flower on a white background, which is really good, and she wants to make a new dress for her daughter.
"Yin Yin, your sister Meihua went on a blind date for a while, what kind of clothes do you think is good for her?"
Xu Meihua is not fat, but her face is round, and her short ear-length hair makes her face rounder, and she looks very blessed.
Xu Yin asked her if she had decided on a blind date, and if it was June, she could wear a skirt.
The round face is suitable for the V-neck, she already has an idea in her heart, make a V-neck tunic knee-length skirt, go back to find some dark green material, make a belt, look capable and energetic.
Looking at her with a few strokes, a beautiful skirt jumped on the paper, Liu Caifeng didn't say a word: "Just do this!" ”
Xu Meihua also flashed her sparkling eyes, and nodded vigorously: "This is good-looking!" ”
Xu Yin measured the size of Liu Caifeng's mother and daughter, agreed to take the clothes before Labor Day, and the mother and daughter paid the deposit and left happily.
Not long after, Aunt Agen, who lives in the west of the village and often interacts with Liu Caifeng on weekdays, also came to Xu's house with a basket.
In a bamboo basket covered with coarse cloth, a piece of dark red acrylic material lay down.
"On his fortieth birthday, the Argentos bought it from the Great Sea, and they were reluctant to make clothes. Agen also laughed at me and wanted to bring this piece of material into the coffin. ”
"Why are you willing to take it out today?" Mother Xu quipped.
"No, I saw that the foreign coat you were wearing was very good-looking at the New Year's Day, so I cheekily came to Yin Yin to do it."
"That's called a jacket."
Mother Xu, who had been popularized by her daughter's science before, was talking about it at the moment.
"It was introduced from the UK, and it has only become popular in Haicheng, and I tell you, this dress is not only good in style, but also neat, and does not affect the work, you see the hem and cuffs, it is not dragging at all."
Mother Xu said, and took out her rusty iron red autumn and winter coat with a cloth lining as a model, and carefully displayed it.
Aunt Agen immediately finalized a piece like this.
Xu Yin measured her size and also agreed on the time.
In fact, not only Liu Caifeng's mother and daughter and Sister-in-law Agen, but also everyone who heard that the daughter of the old Xu family would also step on the sewing machine to make clothes, all had this idea.
It's just that I'm worried that Xu Yin is not doing well, or that she is just getting started and her skills are not as good as the old tailors.
It's also spending money to do, why bother looking for someone who is just getting started, you can't feel distressed to death if you spoil the fabric.
So, like raising rice and fish, everyone has a wait-and-see attitude.
Until Xu Meihua came back from a blind date in the town wearing a newly made corset V-neck dress, she said shyly: The man likes her very much, and will send someone to propose marriage immediately.
The young daughters-in-law and girls in the village looked at the skirt on her body, and their minds were full of life.
The little daughters-in-law naturally want to win the hearts of men.
Like Xu Meihua, the girls who are arranging to see each other at home want to have a beautiful skirt and wear it to go on a blind date......
As a result, the old Xu family suddenly became popular, and every day there were daughters-in-law and girls who came to Xu Yin with baskets to make clothes.
When Aunt Agen's jacket is completed, the old Xu family will be even more lively, which can be described as a crowd.
Mother Xu couldn't smile from counting the money to the cramps in her hands at the beginning, and then she was distressed, worried that her daughter would sit in front of the sewing machine for a long time, and people could stand it and her eyes couldn't stand it.
Although she loves money, she also loves her daughter.
"If someone comes to you to make clothes, will your mother find an excuse to refuse? Look at how tired you are during this time, people have lost weight. ”
Xu Yin looked in the mirror, where did she lose weight?
However, this spring, he actually grew two centimeters taller, about one meter six and a half, and his body shape was more symmetrical than before.
Look at this small waist, it is clear that if you increase one point, you will be too fat, and if you lose one point, you will be too thin.
"Mom, I'm just right like this, don't buy big fat meat, I won't eat it if you buy it."
“…… You damn girl! It's not good to make up for your health? ”
Mother Xu made a gesture to hit her, but she was reluctant in the end, muttered a few words, and waved her hand angrily.
"Forget it, the old lady doesn't care, I'll still watch my rice flower fish!"
Not to mention, the fish raised in this rice field are really faster than those raised in the river, and it has only been a long time, and the largest one weighs half a catty.
In July, when the rice fields are released into water for harvesting, this batch of fish will grow to half a catty and eight taels as a whole, and the big ones may be more than one catty.
As soon as Mother Xu calculated the difference, she regretted that she didn't listen to her daughter's raising a few more.
However, she went to another rice field where fish were raised, and found that other people's fish were not as big as her own, could it be related to the fish food?
She's comparing, and so are other people's homes.
Xu Jianjun's mother Xu Dajia often went to Xu Yin's rice field and also discovered this problem.
After returning home, he frowned and said to the old man: "Our family and Jinhua's family almost put down the fish fry on the front and back feet, why are her fish so fast?" ”
"Maybe the fish fry she bought are bigger than ours."
"Impossible! I was there when she was stocking the fry, and it wasn't much older than mine. ”
"A few big ones don't mean anything, maybe these ones are more good at eating, growing fast, and people are still fat and thin."
“……”
Xu Dajia still felt that something was wrong:
"I've been around a few times, and really, her fish are bigger than mine overall. You said that I didn't feed the bran and wheat bran, and let Xiaobao catch insects and earthworms to feed. It's weird! Otherwise, you take the time to ask Guoshun, it's your cousin, and it's closer than outsiders in the next room. ”
Xu Guobang glanced at her: "Why don't you go and ask Guoshun's daughter-in-law yourself?" ”
“……”
Xu Dajia glared at him: It's not that I don't know the relationship between her and Geng Jinhua, whether she is close or not, whether she is stiff or not, how embarrassing.
However, without waiting for her to convince the old man, the village party secretary summoned several families who raised fish in rice fields and took a simplified version of the popular science lesson of "how to raise rice and fish well", which Xu Yin helped him summarize.
There are two main points, one is the water for fish farming, which can neither be changed too often, nor can it be changed all the time, and it is best to change it once every 20 days. During the period, it is necessary to check frequently, and if there are insect eggs, you must kill the insects as soon as possible, and if there are too many insect eggs, you should change the place to raise them.
The second is to feed the fish food, if mixed with vegetable cake residues, it must be rotten before feeding the fish, do not finish the oil of the vegetable cake residues directly to mix with fish feed, the fish is easy to die if it is not digested.
"Crumbs? Do you like to eat this thing? ”
Before the old branch secretary finished speaking, someone asked.
Xu Guobang and Xu Dajiao also pricked up their ears and listened: Could this be the reason why Xu Yin's fish grow fast?
The old branch secretary nodded: "This method is what Yin Yatou saw from the book, her fish are fed like this, I have seen it, and it is indeed well raised." I didn't tell you at first, because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it, and seeing is believing, but now I believe it? ”
"I believe it, thank you!" Xu Dajiao smiled.
