? On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere has not yet dissipated. Many people go out to visit relatives with snacks, and some people from other villages come to Tianshui Village to visit relatives. Among them, Lin Dajun's younger sister who married into the city brought news that the city's rumors were getting tight again. A middle school teacher turned out to be a secret agent lurking among the masses, and was arrested on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This kind of news will spread wildly from time to time, and everyone doesn't take it seriously. Lin Xiaomei also shifted the topic to the things that the big guys are more concerned about: the supply and marketing cooperative has a new batch of serge cloth, sugar is getting harder and harder to buy, and seeing the beginning of spring, food is another big problem
Generally speaking, Tianshui Town is still in a relaxed state. The main room of Lin Ranran's house was bright and majestic, the tea set on the table was cleared away, and cloth, ruler and sewing basket were spread out. Xie Fei and Lin Ranran are gesturing to tailor clothes, and Xiao Qiu is also holding a small cloth head to sew clothes for her doll.
"The waist is closed a bit, and the sleeves are too long." Xie Fei marked the data with a few cotton threads, with a skillful posture. A pea-green cardigan left by the original owner's mother was skillfully improved by her, and the old-fashioned cardigan suddenly took on a new brilliance.
Lin Ranran praised sincerely: "Your hands are really skillful. With this skill, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future."
Xie Fei pinned the fallen lock of hair behind her ears, and smiled proudly and a little inferiorly: "Of course, sister, don't make fun of me. People like me make money, I can't help my brother relieve some burden .¡±
Lin Ranran said nothing. Xie Fei's tailoring and embroidery work is inherited from Mrs. Xie, and she herself has a high talent for aesthetics. In later generations, she will be the seed of a designer. Unfortunately, she can only stay at home now, sewing and mending torn clothes,
Xie Fei folded the sleeves in and folded them in two, and gestured: "See? The cuffs are sewed to the hem, and then released when they are shortened. This is a good material, and it can be worn for several years!"
Lin Ranran has never been short of clothes, and Lin Jianbin and his wife left her a lot, and she thought it would be enough for Xiaojing to grow up. But after this winter, she realized why people are so short of clothes nowadays¡ªthe material is too easy to break.
Each person only has a cloth ticket of ten feet or two per year, and making a new dress is a big deal. It is necessary to repeatedly measure and ponder how to maximize the effect of this dress.
Children have to spend a lot of time making clothes, their bodies are growing, and they can wear them for another two years when the sleeves and trouser legs are put down. Therefore, the clothes worn by country children are always ill-fitting, hanging empty on the body like face pockets. More children are unable to wear new clothes at all, but pick up the old clothes of their brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are picking up their parents' old clothes to wear.
In this way, the wear resistance of the clothes becomes the first condition. These days, supply and marketing cooperatives can buy very few fabrics, including serge, cotton and expensive woolen cloth. Serge and wool are only affordable for cadres, and most of the common people's clothes are made of cotton. It's a pity that cotton cloth is breathable and comfortable to wear, but it is not wear-resistant, and it will become old and fade after a few washes.
The common people have many ways to save fabrics: the first is not to wear clothes when sleeping to reduce the wear and tear of fabrics. The second is to wear smocks, and the third is to do as little laundry as possible.
Some people in the village are reluctant to wash their cotton-padded jackets once in winter, and they just wait for the spring to take out the cotton and wash it in water, and continue to wear it as a jacket. Lin Ranran couldn't bear this, the clothes of the three siblings were changed and washed frequently, and the fabrics wore out quickly.
No, Lin Ranran came up with the idea of ??the box of clothes left by the original owner's mother.
The last time I opened the box for a quick glance, I was only looking for quilts and warm padded jackets, but this time Lin Ranran's eyes were wide open: satin jackets, velvet cheongsams, colorful Bragi, all kinds of shirts, sweaters, Cardigans, woolen coats, small leather bags, high heels, and a box of bright colors. There are not many clothes, but the quality definitely wins. It can be seen that the mother of the original owner is a woman who has a great interest in life and is also very particular about enjoyment. Before asking the whole people to be simple and suitable, she actually bought a lot of beautiful clothes.
It can also be seen that the original owner's parents still love each other very much. This box contains both furs from the north and silk from the south. Only Lin Jianbin, who works as a purchaser in a supply and marketing cooperative and often travels around, can buy everything. In the memory of the original owner, Lin Jianbin may forget to bring gifts for the children every time he comes back from the house, but he will never forget to bring a beautiful dress for his wife, or a piece of fabric with a new pattern, or a box of beauty products Emollient duck egg powder.
After Xie Fei changed the pea-green cardigan, he changed his mind to other clothes. The velvet cheongsam was cut, and the material was enough to make a jacket!
Lin Ranran hastily refused, because such a beautiful cheongsam would never be made by an experienced tailor. After those ten years of catastrophe passed, it is not known how many people will be left who know this craft. Say no more, waitI have a new set of clothes, but unfortunately the serge cloth I bought at the supply and marketing agency has shrunk badly. In addition to the two new sets of clothes made for her, Xiaoqiu has three new sets of clothes.
Xiaojing is a boy and couldn't pick up his sister's clothes, so he changed two sets with Lin Jianbin's old work clothes. Xiaojing's small dark blue overalls and overalls are so cute.
According to the market in the city, the price of making a suit of clothes is more than 2.5 yuan, but few people in the village spend money on finding a tailor. Lin Ranran forced Xie Fei ten yuan and gave her a blouse, and told her brother not to know.
Xie Fei patted his chest and promised: "My mouth is the strictest, and I will definitely not tell my brother!"
The first spring rain fell that night, and the spring rain is as expensive as oil. After resting for a winter, the seeds drank enough water, stretched their bodies, and drilled hard into the ground.
Early the next morning, Lin Ranran put on brand new rubber shoes and old clothes, and went to the field ridge with a basket to dig shepherd's purse. She has long been optimistic about a field, where not only are there many shepherd's purses, but also many purslane and dandelions.
The shepherd's purse grows close to the ground, like a big tender green flower, the purslane is green and purple, very fat and tender, Lin Ranran dug half of the basket in a short while. There are also some tender bamboo shoots poking out of the mud, some with a bright yellow head, and some are already half a foot high.
Suddenly, Lin Ranran found a clump of wild garlic not far away. As soon as she leaned over, a pair of liberation shoes covered in mud appeared in front of her.
Lin Ranran looked up, and wailed in her heart: Xie Fei, you have such a big mouth! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
