Despite the changes that have taken place between the two young people, Chaohua and Huanyi, the Sun and Wang families have maintained a good relationship as always, and Technician Wang has always been the same, helping to maintain the old machine.

Even before Sun Dani got married, the family bought a new sewing machine, and Technician Wang was still busy serving Dani for free until she sent Dani to get married.

The relationship between the Sun and Wang families began with two children, and because of the children's grades in school, they have always been among the best. At that time, it was very common in the countryside to help each other, and it was often a measure of the quality of interpersonal relationships between one family and other families.

In fact, the two families have a wish, hoping that the two children will have good jobs, good careers, and good futures, as for getting married to Qin Jin, although they didn't say it directly, they both thought that it was a matter of time, but it was not yet the right time.

Zhang Enthusiasm's mother's family has a very old sewing machine, which is very old, and no one likes to use it, so Zhang Enthusiasm's father gave it to his daughter when he was alive.

This year, Sun Dani is already a thirteen-year-old girl, in the school's primary school, the fourth grade, not interested in learning, one to learn is not conscious, the other to witness the first separation, the parents' hard experience, although young, but in her young heart, for the parents for their sisters' tuition, the east borrows, the west family returns, 'tear the east to make up for the west' difficult emotions, in her young age, on the deep shadow, has always hoped that she will grow up quickly, learn some skills, can share the worries for her mother.

She knew that her eldest brother had the most hope of going to school, and it was also the pride of their family, so she secretly thought that one day, if she could stand on her own, she would drop out of school and leave the family's limited resources to her brothers who had the best opportunity to make their family stand out.

Since the old sewing machine was moved home, whenever she was free, she observed her mother's work, sometimes secretly learned her mother's work movements, learned to do some simple work, such as making shoe insoles, etc., and then made a sleeve, and later, learned to make an apron or something.

At the age of twelve, she can basically make pants and shirts alone, and she is very happy with her choice, but the old toothless machine always breaks down every three or five times.

Sun Dani begged her mother to tell Wang Huanyi's father to let the family go home on Sunday and have time to see.

Wang Huanyi's mother mentioned it to her husband, but Technician Wang didn't say a word, so she took the tool to diagnose and check, and after the test machine, she found that there were many parts worn, so she sighed and shook her head and said, "This machine is very old, and many people don't use it." ”

"Can it be fixed? Uncle," Sun Dani asked anxiously with wide eyes, seeing that Technician Wang didn't say a word, he looked at the various parts of the nose very attentively.

Zhang Enthusiasm also noticed that Technician Wang looked sad without saying a word, and asked eagerly, "Brother, everyone likes sewing very much, it's this machine, every time something goes wrong, can it be repaired?" ”

Technician Wang got up and said, "It's impossible to repair it thoroughly, but I can make it, it can meet Dani's needs," after speaking, he added, "It's just that it needs to be repaired regularly, Dani also needs to be regular, according to what I said, add oil to some parts, and wipe it clean when it's finished, so that there will be no oil stains on the finished clothes, and you will suffer from trouble." ”

"Uncle, I can do it, and I'm not afraid of trouble," Sun Dani heard that it could still be used, and she suddenly became excited.

Technician Wang spent nearly three hours to fix the machine, and then told Dani to pay attention to the key points of operation, and also taught the parts to refuel, and then let Dani learn to do it again.

Dani tried the machine, looked at the stitches, smiled with satisfaction, and Technician Wang asked her how she felt, "It used to be very difficult to step on, but now it is much easier." After Sun Dani operated, she was very proud when she said how she felt.

Zhang Enthusiasm brought a basin of hot water, and after Technician Wang washed his hands and wiped the marks on his face, he packed up his tools and was about to get up to say goodbye, and was left by Zhang Enthusiasm.

"When you go back to your sister-in-law, they will definitely eat dinner, and there is nothing to entertain, so you will settle," After speaking, Sun Dani happily served mille-feuille oil cakes and oily spicy water, which was a unique job made by her mother, the best thing, used to entertain guests.

"Okay, let's call Lao Wan to come together," Technician Wang finished speaking, and only remembered for a long time, but he didn't see Sun Laowan, so he asked, "Sister, why didn't you see Lao Wan?" ”

"My dad went to work on the battlefield, the eldest brother went to school, the second brother went out for a walk, and my sister and I were at home." Dani explained to Technician Wang the whereabouts of the family.

"Xiao Ni, give you a piece," Technician Wang said, and tore a piece for the eight-year-old Xiao Ni.

Xiao Nizi hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

In Sun Xiaoni's eyes, this is the best thing to eat at home, only when there are distinguished guests at home, her mother makes the mille-feuille she is good at, and only at this time does her mother give her a small piece and let her try it.

She remembers that what she usually eats at home is baba made of cornmeal, batter of corn seeds and wheat flour, and she is greedy when she sees others eating two mixed noodles (steamed buns made of half cornmeal and half of wheat flour), and sometimes when she is still crying, her mother has no choice but to ask for one with a thick old face, and then she always tells her that when she is older, she will earn some gas and don't embarrass her family.

At that time, there was a shortage of fabrics, and the purchase was limited by tickets, and the rural people called foreign cloth, and the average peasant children could not afford it, so the parents had to spin the cotton into threads, and then use homemade looms to weave cotton cloth, and then dye it black or blue with dyes, and weave it into clothes through a sewing machine, so it is one of the skills that women must have to sew machines.

Sun Dani's sewing skills became more and more proficient, almost replacing her mother, so that her mother was freed up to spin thread and weave, and was busy with the family's clothing needs.

Technician Wang almost every Sunday, as soon as he got home, put down his things, and took the maintenance tools that were commonly used, he came to Sun Chaohua's house and asked Sun Dani how to use the machine.

However, adults can never guess the children's minds, as they get older, the perspective of things has changed, how can they still take into account the feelings of their parents, but according to their own temperament, do unbelievable things.
