The next day, only the first class had a class, but Gu Jincheng, who was the class leader, was called away by the counselor.

Gu Jincheng looked at Liu Xinyu with some apologies, but Liu Xinyu shook his head indifferently: "The counselor shouted that you must be important." It's not that I don't know your family, anyway, your second sister-in-law is at home. ”

Gu's second sister-in-law, Wu Minhua, has been off for the past two days, because it really doesn't matter if Gu Jincheng is accompanied or not, and Liu Xinyu doesn't know where the Gu family is.

Waving his hand to Gu Jincheng, Liu Xinyu planned to go directly to Gu's house.

Fang Jizhen grabbed her and said, "Xinyu, you shouldn't forget that today is your birthday, didn't we say it a long time ago, today I will invite you to eat birthday noodles!" ”

Oops, almost forgot!

Liu Xinyu patted her head gently, what should I do?

Fang Jizhen has indeed said it a long time ago.

When chatting with Fang Jizhen on the day of registration, she did tell Fang Jizhen about her birthday.

At that time, Fang Jizhen said that when she was on her birthday, she would be invited to eat birthday longevity noodles.

At that time, Liu Xinyu didn't pay much attention to it, only Fang Jizhen said kind words, and now it seems that Fang Jizhen obviously takes her life diary to heart, and it is really unreasonable if she doesn't go to eat this bowl of birthday longevity noodles with Fang Jizhen.

Liu Xinyu was a little difficult, not wanting to live up to Fang Jizhen's kindness, but also delaying sewing the jacket.

Take Fang Jizhen to Gu's house? It's not suitable!

Fang Jizhen saw Liu Xinyu hesitating, thinking that Liu Xinyu didn't want to eat her bowl of birthday longevity noodles, her face was a little not good, and she looked at Liu Xinyu with some scorn and said, "If you don't have time, then forget it." ”

Liu Xinyu didn't want to lose Fang Jizhen's friend, so she had an idea in her heart after a little silence: "No matter how busy you are, you always have to eat, anyway, I will eat you today!" You said you wanted to invite me to Birthday Longevity Noodles! It's just that I do have something to do in the morning, and I can't go back to the dormitory with Sister Jizhen, but I will definitely go back to the dormitory to find you at half past eleven. ”

It will not be until nine o'clock, the canteen will not open until about twelve o'clock at noon, and it is not too late to return to the dormitory at half past eleven, and the fabric can definitely be cut out in two and a half hours.

After eating birthday longevity noodles, and then looking home, at that time, Professor Gu and they should have almost taken a lunch break, and her stepping on the sewing machine will not affect Professor Gu's rest.

Fang Jizhen didn't know what Liu Xinyu had been busy with in the past two days, judging from Liu Xinyu's attitude towards speaking, there was indeed no prevarication, and there was a smile on his face: "Okay, then let's say okay, I'll wait for you downstairs in the dormitory at half past eleven." Of course, you can't be in the school cafeteria for your birthday, so I invite you to go to the West Gate Restaurant. If you say no, I'm going to turn my face. ”

Liu Xinyu shook her head helplessly, since Fang Jizhen had already decided, what else could she say?

Wait for Fang Jizhen's birthday next month, and just go back.

Liu Xinyu said goodbye to Fang Jizhen and hurried to Gu's house, Wu Minhua was already waiting for her at home.

Today she plans to follow Liu Xinyu to learn hard, even if she can't learn to cut, it is good to learn to step on the sewing machine, and she will be able to sew and mend at home in the future.

Liu Xinyu figured out Wu Minhua's thoughts, and simply put the cropping aside first, and taught her how to operate it step by step.

Wu Minhua is indeed a sewing novice, how can Liu Xinyu teach her by hand.

First of all, he pointed to the various parts of the sewing machine to familiarize Wu Minhua with the structure of the sewing machine and the role of each part, so that Wu Minhua had a clear understanding of the sewing machine.

Then it is to teach Wu Minhua to learn the sewing machine winding, this step is very important, the thread is wound correctly in order for the sewing machine to work normally, so that the thread will not be broken often.

After winding the thread, the next step is to learn to assemble the thread.

Take out the thread shuttle of the bottom line, put it on the line and put it in again, and put the thread on it.

Place the sewing thread into the thread post, pull out the thread head and pass it through the thread clamp, thread taker and finally through the pinhole.

After passing through the pinhole, it is necessary to leave a certain length of thread.

After Liu Xinyu taught it once, he let Wu Minhua operate it on the machine.

Wu Minhua is not stupid, and he learns this step quickly.

After installing the line, Liu Xinyu taught Wu Minhua how to bring the bottom line up.

I saw her spin the flywheel counterclockwise and pull the head of the line with her hand, and gently brought the bottom line up.

The note in this step is that it must be rotated counterclockwise, otherwise it will cause the needle to break.

It is also the last and most difficult step, which requires the coordination of hands and feet.

Liu Xinyu first sat in front of the sewing machine and demonstrated once, then stood up and asked Wu Minhua to sit down in front of the sewing machine, taught her to lift the needle with her left hand first, put the upper and lower threads behind the needle, and then put a rag prepared in advance under the needle, press down the needle, gently turn the wheel with her right hand, and step on the foot pedal at a uniform speed with her foot, and at the same time send the cloth forward with her hand.

At the beginning, Wu Minhua seemed to be in a hurry, either forgetting to step on the pedal, or pedaling fast and slow, or forgetting the movement of his hand, a crooked thread twisted like a centipede.

Sewn like this, Liu Xinyu actually gave a thumbs up and praised, making Wu Minhua's face flush with shame.

"It's really good to be able to step on it like this for the first time, my second aunt hasn't been able to step on a line for several days, and she broke several needles, and finally stopped learning." Speaking of Wang Sanmei's experience of learning sewing, Liu Xinyu felt funny.

Wu Minhua, with Liu Xinyu's encouragement, went to find a few more rag heads, and stepped on the straight lines on the rag heads back and forth, and the effect was better and better each time.

Liu Xinyu stopped caring about Wu Minhua and began to cut it according to his own design.

By the time Liu Xinyu cut the fabric for the jacket, Wu Minhua was already able to sew quite a good straight line, and Wu Minhua happily hugged Liu Xinyu and was happy.

Liu Xinyu told her some common sense about sewing machine maintenance, especially emphasizing that the sewing machine should be lubricated with oil frequently, and special lubricating oil is needed, especially the head of the sewing machine, lubrication is very important, and a well-maintained machine can be used for a long time.

Of course, I didn't forget to tell Wu Minhua the principle of sewing machine needle selection, different fabrics should choose different types of needles.

In addition, Wu Minhua was taught the tips of changing the needle and presser foot, and when changing the needle and presser foot, you can use a screwdriver to open and then tighten, which is simple and convenient.

"Second sister-in-law Gu, it's not difficult to step on the sewing machine, it will definitely be better if you practice again, practice makes perfect." Saying that, Liu Xinyu glanced at the wall clock and found that it was almost a quarter past eleven, so he picked up his schoolbag and said goodbye to Wu Minhua.

It's eleven o'clock so soon?

Oops, haven't cooked yet!

Wu Minhua was a little panicked, but he didn't forget to leave Liu Xinyu to eat at home, anyway, he had to make clothes in the afternoon!

Liu Xinyu told her that she had an appointment with her roommate, and she couldn't break her promise and get fat, so she made an appointment with Wu Minhua to come back at two o'clock, and ran away quickly.

It took almost ten minutes to get from here to the dormitory building, and she didn't want to be complained by Fang Jizhen for being late.
