Yi Yan designed the style of the hat into a rabbit hat, and then embroidered some cartoon patterns of cats and dogs on the clothes according to the children's preferences.

She embroidered the cats and dogs separately in an irregular arrangement, and then re-dyed them with dye where there were embroidery samples to distinguish them from the overall color.

The effect is the same as she imagined, both cute and three-dimensional, I think the little girl should like it, but it takes too much effort.

Alas, I don't know when the sewing machine will arrive, according to the plot, it should be fast, right?

After all, the hand-sewing is still too slow, in order to grasp the thickness of the stitches, it is more time-consuming, she feels that her hands are stiff these days, and it is cold in winter.

Yi Yan inserted the needle back into the cotton ball, and covered her frozen hands under the mattress, and it took a while to feel that she was alive.

Jingle Bell –

Suddenly, there was a car bell outside.

A man's deep voice shouted, "Yi Chenggang's family, Yi Chenggang's family!" There are letters! ”

Yi Yan hurriedly got up and went out.

When she came to the door, she saw a postman in green parking her bicycle in front of her house.

"Is it Yi Chenggang's family?" The postman asked.

"Yes." Yi Yan replied.

Today is the day when Murakami reckons for work, and everyone has gone to receive money and food, and Yi Chenggang and Xu Hui are no exception.

Yi Yuxuan went to school, and Yi Yan was the only one at home.

"There are letters and packages from your house."

The postman said as he took down a large package from the car, took out a letter from the small box on the back of the bicycle, and handed it to Yi Yan.

"These are your family."

"Okay, thank you, big brother." Yi Yan thanked politely, followed the letter with one hand, and carried the package in the other, and walked quickly into the house.

Sure enough, the name of Yi Chengjun, the second eldest of the Yi family, was written on the envelope.

Here's what she wanted!

Yi Yan was excited.

Normally, she wouldn't dismantle her brother and sister-in-law's things.

However, it was for the whole family, and she was anxious to confirm that there was something she had been waiting for.

Yi Yan squatted down and opened the package, which contained some food and specialties, Yi Yan rummaged through it, but did not find a ticket for the sewing machine.

Thinking of something, she picked up the envelope again, opened the cover and poured out the contents.

In addition to the letter, there was also a sewing machine commodity ticket and two hundred dollars.

Two 100-dollar tickets, which is very rare.

Yi Yan often sees hundreds of bills in modern times, but today's prices are very real, and there are already a lot of big solids.

Even Murakami's work division settlement is with great unity.

This kind of whole 100 tickets rarely appears in ordinary people's homes.

Yi Yan picked up the sewing ticket and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the same as the plot of the original book.

The big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and Yi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't rush to read the letter, and planned to wait for Yi Chenggang and them to come back and read it together.

Yi Chenggang and they were illiterate, and every time they sent a letter, Yi Yan helped them read it.

……

At this time, Yi Chenggang and Xu Hui were in the village committee.

Today, the villagers gathered more than the last collective meeting, and even Liu Yulian came back.

The earth-shattering one of the two is in the village, and almost everyone in such a big village knows about it.

Everyone thought that Liu Yulian could have a little backbone and stay at her mother's house for a while, but she didn't expect to come back so soon.

The injuries on Liu Yulian's face were not healed, blue and purple, with a work notebook in her hand, she stood in the crowd with a smug face, not feeling ashamed at all.

Qin Ziqiang stood next to her, looking at the work book, with a greedy look, everyone knew that this was waiting for the money.

If it weren't for the money, it is estimated that Qin Ziqiang would not have taken Liu Yulian back so quickly.

Everyone scoffed, and they all looked down on these two people very much.

Soon, the village chief came over, and after accounting, he began to send money to everyone.

This year, when you receive money, everyone's face is filled with a happy smile, no matter how much you receive, you are happy to receive money.

The great unity was pinched in his hands, and everyone was smiling.

Liu Yulian was even happier, she received thirty-one pieces of unity and three hundred and ten yuan.

That's not a small amount!

Everyone else in the village is a little greedy.

"Alas, this year, the Qin family is actually the first again, this Yuecheng is really capable, one person tops their family of three, and it has been the first place for three consecutive years, and the model worker is nothing more than that."

"It's a pity, with such a family and such a mother, what can you do with a model worker? I can't even say a daughter-in-law. ”

"Yes, it's been almost half a month since the Qin family and the Yi family talked about it, right? Why didn't you see any movement? Could it be that the Qin family really doesn't plan to marry Yi Yan. ”

"Who knows? Anyway, the Yi family is rich, Yi Chenggang and Xu Hui are willing, it's a big deal to raise an old girl, and no one minds, what do we outsiders have to say. ”

There was nothing to say, so after a while, the crowd dispersed.

After finally sending the money, they have to go home to improve their food, which is the most important thing.

Liu Yulian thought the same, and after picking up the ticket, she happily pulled Qin Ziqiang home.

"Daughter-in-law, you give me ten." Qin Ziqiang has been asking Liu Yulian for money.

"This money is not enough to spend a year, if you want it, you will go to drink, it is better to buy some meat for Dabao to eat!" Liu Yulian naturally didn't give it.

The two of them talked and walked away.

Xu Hui couldn't help but sigh when she saw this.

"What do you sigh on the day of the money? Walk home, serve the food tonight, and make up for Xiaoyan and them! ”

Yi Chenggang pulled Xu Hui towards home.

As soon as the two entered the house, Yi Yan greeted them.

"Sister-in-law, brother, second brother sent a letter, and sent a lot of things."

"The second one has a letter?" Yi Chenggang was excited for a while and walked in quickly.

Yi Yan put all the things he had dismantled on the table, he looked at them one by one, then picked up the letter and asked Yi Yan to read it for help.

"Hurry up and read to me and your sister-in-law, what did the second brother say?"

Yi Yan took the letter and read it to the two of them in every detail.

The letter is very trivial and homely, and it can be seen between the words that Yi Chengjun cares about his family very much, and even remembers some small details.

Three pieces of paper are sprinkled.

Yi Chengjun first expressed his longing, saying that everything was fine in the army, and he had just been promoted to regiment commander and was busy, so he would not come back for the Chinese New Year this year.

Their troops had just received benefits, and there was a sewing ticket that he couldn't need, so he mailed it back to his family.

There were still 200 yuan in the envelope, and I was afraid that my brother and sister-in-law would be reluctant to pay for it, and this money was the money to buy them a sewing machine.

Then there are those specialties, all of which were bought by Yi Chengjun's daughter-in-law, and when they came back, Yi Yuxuan liked to eat canned fruits, and this time he mailed a few cans.

Yi Chenggang listened, his eyes gradually turned red, "The second child has just been promoted, it's right not to come back, you still have to behave well." It's not easy for him to drag his family outside, how can he send us money and tickets. ”

Nowadays, communication is inconvenient, and thoughts can only be conveyed through letterheads, and Yi Chenggang's words can only be read to himself, and he can't let Yi Chengjun, who is thousands of miles away, hear them.

Xu Hui reached out and stroked his arm as a comfort.

Yi Yan finished reading the letter, folded the letter in its original envelope, and handed it to Yi Chenggang, "The second brother said that if he is not busy next year, he will definitely come back for the New Year." ”

"Hmm." Yi Cheng just answered, sorted out his emotions, and took down a box from the cabinet.

It is full of letters sent home by Yi Chengjun who joined the army over the years, and he has kept them well, and he has to take them out and flip them through when he has nothing to do, and he has to flip them when he misses them.

He carefully placed the letter inside and closed the lid.

"Isn't this sewing machine too expensive?" Xu Hui felt a little embarrassed.

Nowadays, this sewing machine is a big thing, and many families can't afford it when they get married.

Because sewing machines, like refrigerators and televisions, belong to commercial use, commodity tickets are very rare, especially for rural people like them, who can't even touch the edge.

If it weren't for Yi Chengjun in the army, he would definitely not have been able to get this kind of commodity ticket.

"Since it's the second child's will, let's take it, if he returns it, he will be anxious with us."

Yi Chenggang deeply understood his younger brother's character, and went over to pick up the ticket and hand it to Xu Hui.

"Someday, when you have time, you can go to town and buy a sewing machine."

"Okay." Xu Hui borrowed the ticket and touched it lovingly, a little incredulous.

"I didn't expect our family to have a sewing machine, alas, in addition to the tailor in our village, we are the first to buy it."

"Yes, Xiaoyan likes to make clothes, so it's much more convenient to have a sewing machine now." Yi Chenggang looked at Yi Yan with a smile.

That's not just convenient, it's also the opportunity that Yi Yan has been waiting for, and now that the opportunity has come, she can finally implement the plan.

Yi Yan proudly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Yes! ”

……

"Did you see the dress Xu Hui wore at the group meeting? It's so beautiful, it feels like I bought it in a provincial department store, it's very fashionable, and it's different from what our Murakami tailors do. ”

"I saw it, my mother asked, I heard that Yi Yan made it."

"Yi Yan actually knows how to make clothes?"

"What's so strange about this, you don't pay attention to Murakami's affairs at first glance, Yi Yan has made clothes for many children before, and I heard that they are all good-looking."

"Ah, I'm going to go on a blind date in a few days, my mother said she was going to make me a new dress, do you think I'm going to find Yi Yan to do a good job?"

"Okay, I think the clothes she makes are super fashionable, unlike our village tailors who are always the same, it's too earthy. If you wear that kind of clothes on a blind date, people may not be able to look down on them at all. ”

"He should have a very high vision, and he is a team leader who stays in the army. Then you accompany me to Yi's house, I'll ask Yi Yan first. ”

After chatting, the two little girls walked away hand in arm.

In the courtyard, Zheng Mingjue looked at the backs of the two leaving, a little distracted.

"Brother Mingjue." Yi Qianqian pounced on Zheng Mingjue from behind, covering his face with both hands, "Guess who I am?" ”

"Stop making a fuss." Zheng Mingjue reached out and took her hand down.

"Brother Mingjue, what's wrong with you? Not happy? Yi Qianqian asked with concern.

"Nothing." Zheng Mingjue shook his head, and couldn't help but think of what the two people said just now.

They said Yi Yan had been making clothes lately...... Before...... Alas, forget it, don't mention her. ”

Zheng Mingjue sighed and fell silent.

Yi Qianqian gritted her teeth, a little unwilling.
