Chapter 13, Making New Clothes
Xiuxiu looked at this and that, she was actually quite distressed, and regretted why she ate so much, if these good things were saved, their family could eat many meals.
But when she heard her mother's words, she swallowed the words in her mouth.
"Listen to my mother." She really likes her current mother.
"Okay, my mother will boil water for you to take a bath in a while, and today my mother will buy you new clothes, and you will change them in a while." Bai Jiu said with a smile.
The two little ones are so cute.
"Mother, I'll help you." As soon as he heard about the new clothes, the little one's attention was immediately diverted.
"Okay, I'll help my mother make the pot later."
After resting for a while, Bai Jiu washed the pot and boiled the water, she didn't buy a bath bucket, but she took out two large wooden barrels from the space.
She was surprised when she saw it.
I didn't expect my body to prepare so many things at that time.
From big to small, you can say it all.
Even if she lives in the mountains with her children, they can live to the millennium with the things in their own space.
I didn't have a basin to wash while standing, and no one could see the back of the kitchen against the mountain anyway.
It's not just two children, it's not in the way, but if she wants to get out of the bathroom, she will go to the village tomorrow and ask the captain to ask her, and let someone come over to help her fix one.
It doesn't matter if you spend some money.
After the water was boiled, Bai Jiu washed the two children from head to toe, and their old clothes were not lost.
It's good to wear it to the outside, just after the family is separated, she doesn't dare to let the children be too conspicuous.
Will attract thieves.
"Go to the kang, cover the quilt, and be careful of catching a cold." After washing Zhengyang, Bai Jiu immediately urged.
You can't delay it, the water in the other bucket will be cold in a while.
And Xiuxiu didn't wash it.

"Mother, this new dress is so warm and comfortable." After changing into new clothes, Zhengyang was called happy.
This is the first time he has worn new clothes since he grew so old.
The clothes that my mother bought didn't even have Brother Erzhu.
"Of course, this is a new arrival in Lu Province, my mother finally grabbed it, I heard that there is only this batch, and it is impossible to say whether there is this in the future." Bai Jiu had already thought of an excuse.
This thermal underwear is a solid color, and the fabric is also pure cotton, but it is just close-fitting, so she is not afraid of others looking at it.
What kind of place is Lu Province, the largest economic city in the blue country, and there are countless foreign trades.
It's just a pity that those things are not supplied to remote areas.
"Then I'll have to be careful, what if it breaks." Zhengyang touched the clothes on his body, which was called reluctance.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't pull it, it won't be bad, it will only be small." Bai Jiu was also amused by his small appearance.
Zhengyang is wearing a set of black, while Xiuxiu is wearing a set of red, yes, it is the kind of red, very earthy color.
But in this era, this color dares to be worn.
She had underwear and padded clothes, but the cloth she bought had to be made into garments.
Even if it is made into a small cotton coat, it will not be too eye-catching.
"Mother, where's you?" After the two children changed into new clothes, they immediately looked at their mother, they all had it, but they didn't see any of their mother's clothes in this pile of clothes.
"Mother, yes." She took out the down jacket she was wearing this morning, "Look, my mother has also bought new clothes." โ
Seeing that Niang really had it, Zhengyang and Xiuxiu also laughed, "It's so good, we all have new clothes." โ
yes, life is so good.
In the afternoon, Bai Jiu didn't want the two children to go out, she planned to find Aunt Peng.
The cloth he bought was used to make ready-to-wear clothes.
Aunt Peng lives not far from here, and she used to have a very good relationship with the original owner.
On weekdays, Aunt Peng does not help the mother and son.
Because Gao Zhijun couldn't come back for a few days all year round, he left in a hurry after coming back in a hurry, and the couple didn't even have time to talk.
So the man didn't know about the difficulties of the original owner.
When Aunt Peng saw her like this, she also thought of herself, so she would help the original owner from time to time.
Of course, Aunt Peng also depends on people, not everyone helps, after all, there are many poor people in the world.
If it weren't for the kindness of the original owner, Aunt Peng wouldn't have taken care of her.
"You rest at home, my mother will go to Grandma Peng's house, and ask Grandma Peng to help us turn these cloths and cotton into clothes." Bai Jiu wrapped all the cloth and cotton he bought today.
I'm going to find Aunt Peng.
In the entire Gaojia Village, only Aunt Peng and the captain's family have such large items as sewing machines.
Aunt Peng's family has been a martyr for two generations, and she now has only one grandson left in her family, so her life can be regarded as a well-known rich family in the village.
It is also taken care of by the county seat.
Because of this, the people in the village did not dare to have bad thoughts about Aunt Peng.
But Aunt Peng is a person, it is difficult to contact, she doesn't go to work on weekdays, and stays at home all day and night, if it weren't for the original owner who got into Aunt Peng's eyes, Bai Jiu wouldn't have been able to take advantage of this.
Now it's convenient for her.
"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of my sister." Zhengyang patted his chest and assured his mother.
Xiuxiu was unconvinced, "Mother, I will be obedient, so I don't need my brother to take care of it." โ
After kissing the two little guys, Bai Jiu went out of the house with a big bag on her back, and when she went out, she also closed the house and let Zhengyang bolt from the inside.
When Bai Jiu came over, he happened to meet Aunt Peng's grandson, "Patriotic, this is coming back from work." Looking at the young man who was on his shoulder, Bai Jiu unconsciously flashed many memories of this child in his mind.
Soon after I was born, my parents passed away, and I was raised by my grandmother, and I was raised by my grandmother.
Aunt Peng has seen a lot of those castrations, she is careful in everything, tolerant everywhere, even with the subsidy of her son and husband and wife, her life is still very low-key.
When the people in the village had nothing to eat, she and Gao Aiguo were also hungry, and when the people in the village had no clothes to wear, they were all patched, which can be said to be low-key to the dust.
But even so, there are still some people who don't like their grandparents.
There is a broken mouth in the village, she has just married into the new daughter-in-law of Gaojia Village, she doesn't know much about Aunt Peng's family, it can be seen that she has raised the children in the family, and she starved her newborn son to death in the second year.
I don't know why she has been eyeing Aunt Peng and has been making trouble with Aunt Peng.
Once, she saw Aunt Peng go to the commune to receive a subsidy, and she didn't say a word and directly sued Aunt Peng.
Although Aunt Peng was not hurt in the end, she was also frightened, and then became more and more low-key.
Even if there was food at home, she didn't dare to take it out to eat.
So the fourteen-year-old Gao Aiguo is now only up to Bai Jiu's shoulders.
Later, although the broken-mouthed mother-in-law was punished by the village secretary, it also made many people in the village focus on Aunt Peng.
If it weren't for the leaders of the commune who came to visit her later, I'm afraid that Aunt Peng wouldn't dare to be kind to herself and her grandson now.
"Aunt Bai." Gao loves very few words, and it can be said that except for work, he doesn't say a word to outsiders.
"Are you looking for grandma? Grandma is at home. After speaking, Gao Aiguo directly pushed open the door and walked in.
Bai Jiu followed behind him with a large bag on his back.
She's not afraid of anyone anyway, and whoever wants to trouble her, then she doesn't mind helping anyone to add a grave.
"Is Aunt Peng at home?" Bai Jiu raised his voice and shouted towards the house.
Her voice also startled Gao Aiguo.
Gao Aiguo glanced back at Aunt Bai, but quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Here, it's Jiu'er here, come in." Aunt Peng looks quite old, like seventy or eighty years old, but in fact, she is only in her early sixties.
It's just that after the pain of losing a husband and a child, the whole person lost half of his spirit.
Bai Jiu walked inside, Aunt Peng went out to greet her, and the two soon met together.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing that she was carrying a big bag, Aunt Peng was a little surprised.
"Auntie pick me up."
After putting the thing down, Bai Jiu said the purpose of his coming.
"You finally want to open it, your own children have to hurt themselves, they haven't had a new dress since they were young, you don't know how to worry about it as a mother, and you put up with your mother-in-law everywhere to make yourself and your children suffer in the end."
Seeing her change, Aunt Peng was still very happy.
She also turned out the things in the big bag, "These skins are good, and the cotton is also good, I just made it all for you, so that your mother can't survive this winter." โ
Aunt Peng really feels sorry for Bai Jiuniang.
Bai Jiu smiled and responded, "Listen to Aunt Peng." There was not only cotton in the big bag, but also some food that she had taken out of the space.
These are all things she brought to Aunt Peng.
If she gives money, Aunt Peng will definitely not accept it, and Aunt Peng is not short of money.
You might as well give her something to eat.
"What are you doing here? Put it away. Seeing what she was taking, Aunt Peng hurriedly put down the cloth in her hand.
"It's just some eggs and rice cakes and some fruit candy, Aunt Peng, don't be polite to me, Xiuxiu and Zhengyang don't eat you less on weekdays, you don't want to be polite to me." Bai Jiu carried everything into Aunt Peng's house.
Don't even think about saying no anyway.
Aunt Peng is really embarrassed to accept it, although she usually gives Xiuxiu Zhengyang some food, but it is all made by herself, how can it be compared with what Jiu'er brought over.
After all, these things are expensive, not cheap.
She has just broken up, and she doesn't have enough money, how can she be so wasteful.
"You finally bought some good ones, just leave them for Xiuxiu Zhengyang to eat, I don't need it, you take it back." Aunt Peng saw her go directly to the house and immediately followed.
"It's okay, Aunt Peng, you can take it, there are still at home, but it's just some snacks and it's not a good thing, don't be polite to me." Bai Jiu won't take it back.
When Aunt Peng saw her like this, she couldn't excuse herself, otherwise it would hurt her feelings a little, "I can't help you when you break up, how can I be embarrassed to accept your things..."
"Isn't this just asking for your help, auntie, to help me make clothes." Bai Jiu said with a smile.
"In the winter, Xiuxiu's clothes are thin and not cold-resistant, auntie, you also know, I am not good at needlework, so I have to trouble Aunt Peng to help me make this dress." Although Bai Jiu gave something, she didn't treat Aunt Peng as an outsider in her heart.
For her, the people who are good to the original owner are her own people.
