Hearing that school was about to start, among the children in the compound, only Yang Tingxia smiled.

Yang Wangqiu hasn't experienced it yet, he is both looking forward to it and being afraid.

After Xu Yao was mentally prepared, she was very calm, watching her mother make a schoolbag out of cloth, and she picked out a few favorite colors for herself.

In these years, there are also schoolbags for sale, but that one is expensive, and no one will buy it, they all sew a crossbody bag from their own cloth, and sew and mend it until they graduate from elementary school.

"Make one." Xu Meizhen cut the fabric, skillfully used the sewing machine a few times, and a simple schoolbag was ready. In addition to everyone's name, she also sewed some patterns, Yang Shouchun's is a small plane, Yang Tingxia is a book, and Yang Wangqiu's is a small train.

Xu Yao's is a colorful flower.

It took an afternoon for Xu Meizhen to make four schoolbags.

Xu Yao is quite satisfied, the crimson schoolbag, with a few small flowers, is a little dirty in the 21st century, but in the 70s, it is relatively good.

She followed her mother and went to find Yang Shouchun three.

Yang Shouchun saw the new schoolbag and said no, "I have it myself." ”

"Big brother, your schoolbag has two holes, how can you use it?" Yang Wangqiu didn't think much about it, and when the eldest brother glared at him, he didn't understand what he said wrong.

What he said was the truth, why did the eldest brother stare at him fiercely?

Xu Meizhen looked at the eyes of the brothers, and put the schoolbag on the bed with a smile, "You all try, tell me if it's not suitable, and I'll help you change it." ”

With that, she left.

Yang Wangqiu was the first to pick up his schoolbag, "Big brother and second brother, look, my schoolbag has a small train." Dabao doesn't have theirs! ”

Yang Tingxia also looked at it curiously.

Only Yang Shouchun remained motionless and muttered, "No heart and no lungs." ”

Yang Wangqiu didn't hear his eldest brother's complaints, he only felt that his schoolbag was very good-looking, and immediately carried it out to show off to other friends.

When he goes out, he can be the envy of other friends. Most people's schoolbags are patchwork together with several pieces of fabric of different colors, although Yang Wangqiu's is the same, but the color of the fabric is the same, and it doesn't look abrupt, but it looks pretty good.

After walking around, Yang Wangqiu received a lot of praise and looked forward to going to school more and more.

He attracted the envy of many people, and early the next morning, someone knocked on Xu Meizhen's door.

Xu Meizhen opened the door in a daze, and before she could see the other party clearly, she smelled the smell of salted fish first.

"Sorry to bother you. We're both busy, and you may not be impressed with me. Hao Jiayu turned around and pointed to the east house behind her, "I am Tingting and Yuanyuan's mother." ”

Xu Meizhen looked at Hao Jiayu's hand, she recognized Hao Jiayu, but Hao Jiayu came and went in a hurry and couldn't speak.

Now that she heard that Hao Jiayu had a good attitude, she smiled and asked what was wrong.

"That's right, my two children saw the schoolbag you made for Wangqiu, and they both liked it. I'm not afraid of you laughing, I don't know how to do needlework at all, I tried to sew one at night, and it was so ugly that Tingting cried and said that she wouldn't go to school. Hao Jiayu looked a little dark, and her eyelids drooped down embarrassedly, "I want to ask, are you free, help make two more schoolbags?" ”

In addition to the salted fish, she even brought cloth and needlework, and it was a relatively complete piece of blue linen.

Xu Meizhen will only go to work tomorrow, seeing Hao Jiayu speaking politely, thinking that everyone is a neighbor, she has already made a bad relationship with Westinghouse, and it is a good thing to be able to make friends with Easthouse, so she agreed.

"You're kind to this little thing. Later, I'll call Sister Yuanyuan to come over, and the salted fish won't need to be used, it's just a matter of raising your hands. ”

"No, no, no, it's me who bothered you, salted fish is worthless, it's all caught by my man in his spare time." Hao Jiayu insisted on sending salted fish, "I have to go to work, I'm really sorry, it's too troublesome for you." ”

Putting down the things, Hao Jiayu glanced at the sky and hurriedly ran.

Xu Meizhen also looked up at the sky, it was just dawn, it is estimated that around six o'clock, what is Hao Jiayu doing? Why do you work so early?

She thought about it, Hao Jiayu worked in the cafeteria, no wonder she had to get up so early.

The cafeteria is a good place, and in the era when many people don't have enough to eat, some people in the canteen can eat oily.

However, when she looked at Hao Jiayu, it didn't seem like she would be too careful.

After thinking like this, Xu Meizhen mentioned the salted fish and looked at it, good guy, at least three catties in weight, it seems that Hao Jiayu is very real.

After washing her face, Xu Meizhen began to make breakfast.

When Xu Yao got up, breakfast had already been prepared, and when she saw salted fish, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She knew that the conditions at home were better than the rest of the compound, but she was still surprised to have salted fish to eat in the morning, after all, fish is not cheap.

After learning the reason, Xu Yao praised sincerely, "Mom, you are so good, you cook deliciously, and you can make schoolbags." ”

Xu Meizhen gently scraped her daughter's nose, "Go wash your face, grandma, they've all washed it." ”

Yao Hong chuckled on the side, thinking that her daughter was still intimate, and her three grandsons would not say such heart-warming words.

Porridge with salted fish in the morning, after eating, Xu Yao followed her grandmother to wash the dishes.

When the matter was done, Zeng Tingting came with her sister.

Zeng Tingting's sisters are all round-faced, and her mother has explained that she must not fight in other people's houses, so Zeng Tingting is very sensible and holds her sister.

At least that's what she thinks.

Xu Meizhen asked the two little girls what pattern they wanted, and began to cut.

Xu Yao was helping to help, and it didn't take long for Zeng Tingting and Zeng Yuanyuan to start yawning. She told them to go home and wait, but they wouldn't.

"I'm not leaving, I want to see my bag as soon as possible." Zeng Tingting has been looking forward to it for a long time, "Your name is Xu Yao, right, my mother said that we are going to study the first grade together, seeing that you are so thin, you must be easy to be bullied." But don't worry, if you call me Sister Tingting in the future, I will cover you at school! ”

Zeng Tingting raised an eyebrow with Xu Yao very righteously, which made Xu Yao laugh.

"Okay, Sister Tingting." Xu Yao shouted cooperatively.

"That's good." Zeng Tingting has a pretty good impression of Xu Yao, she looks white and tender, and her speech is soft and good, the most important thing is to be obedient, unlike Zeng Yuanyuan, who has to rob her of everything.

Xu Yao didn't expect that before she went to school, she recognized a sister first.

But Zeng Tingting is quite interesting, the little girl talks one by one, like a little adult.

Xu Meizhen practice makes perfect, and quickly made two schoolbags.

According to the needs of Zeng Tingting's sisters, Zeng Tingting's schoolbag sewed a little tiger, and Zeng Yuanyuan was a piglet. Both sisters like it very much, especially Zeng Tingting, she has seen other people's, either the cloth is very old, or it is very ugly, anyway, it is not as good as hers.

The little girl loves to be beautiful, and the Zeng Tingting sisters got a schoolbag and played with Xu Yao for a while.

When it was time for the meal, Xu Meizhen wanted to keep them to eat, but Zeng Tingting said that there was food left at home, and her mother explained that she couldn't eat at someone else's house.

said thank you to Xu Meizhen, Zeng Tingting took her sister home.

In the compound, there are five seven-year-old children.

Xu Yao and they have a new schoolbag, and Wang Qianjin and Xu Erbao also want it.

But Li Fanggang quarreled with Xu Meizhen, so naturally he wouldn't ask Xu Meizhen for help, so he sewed one for Wang Qianqian, but he didn't have any good cloth at home, a schoolbag made of torn autumn clothes, and a few patches, Wang Qianjin cried for a while, and finally was slapped by his father to stop crying.

Yu Lotus brought Xu Erbao to find it, but it was already evening, and Xu Meizhen said that she would go to work the next day, so she politely refused.

Xu Erbao went home with a puffed face, and when he saw his grandmother, he began to make trouble, "Grandma, Xu Meizhen won't make me a schoolbag!" ”

Yu Lotus frowned slightly, "Erbao, you have to call Auntie." ”

"I don't want it, she doesn't make me a new school bag, she's a bad person!" Xu Erbao saw Yang Wangqiu's new schoolbag, the schoolbag was very good-looking, and Yang Wangqiu's name was also very wanted.

Yu Lotus was embarrassed, Xu Meizhen had to go to work, and she really didn't have time.

Lin Wan glanced at her daughter-in-law angrily, "Useless things, she is going to work tomorrow, not now." Will you die if you help make one at night? ”

"Erbao, don't cry, grandma will help you go."

With the fabric, Lin Wan went to the backyard, but as soon as she knocked on the door, Yao Hong came out and said that Xu Meizhen was asleep.

"Why do you go to bed so early?" Lin Wan frowned.

"Mi-jin has to go to work tomorrow, and she wants to go to bed early." Yao Hong smiled and said, "Your daughter-in-law didn't go to work, let her help Erbao do it." ”

"She ......" Lin Wan was unhappy when she heard Yao Hong's postponement, but she still smiled reluctantly, "Well, I'll go back and let her do it." ”

Xu Meizhen, who was in the room, snorted softly when she heard Lin Wan leave, "I'm not wronged, I don't do thankless things." ”

She was really sleepy, yawned and went to lie down, and began to look forward to the day when she went to work, maybe she could start the second spring of her career in the 70s.
