Moreover, if she couldn't find an old sewing machine for sale in the county town, she would have to buy a new one, which was still a bit expensive. If she were to spend so lavishly on expensive items as soon as she arrived, it would seem a bit wasteful and unreasonable.

She was also afraid that Duan Xichuan would feel embarrassed.

If she doesn't want him to pay for it, she can just pay for it herself. He is such a male chauvinist that he will definitely not agree.

Let him pay for it, but that would empty his family's savings, and she couldn't do that.

So after thinking about it yesterday, she gave up and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​buying a sewing machine, planning to wait and see.

"I once heard two military wives chatting about how Commander Guan, who lived in the West District, had a sewing machine at home. They said their wife seemed to be able to sew, so they bought one for their family."

"Ah, the division commander's house in the West District. My husband Xichuan told me not to wander around the East and West Districts when I first arrived, saying that those were where the leaders lived."

"Yeah, the East and West districts. I've never been there, and I rarely interact with the families there. I just heard about it."

"Well, forget it. If anyone in the South District has it, we can try to borrow it from them. But as for those in the East and West Districts, forget it. We'll just sew the wardrobe covers by hand this afternoon. It'll be quick anyway."

"Well, that's the only way. Hehe, Xiaobei will have to trouble you to sew the cover for me this afternoon!"

"Don't be polite, it's nothing! By the way, Da Ni, Er Ni, are you hungry? Auntie has some peach cakes here, I'll get them for you!"

"Hey, Xiaobei, don't worry about them, we'll have dinner soon!"

Shen Xiaobei ignored Rao Junxia's obstruction, opened a pack of peach cakes that she and Duan Xichuan bought in the county town yesterday, and gave one to each of her two daughters.

As soon as the two little girls got the peach cakes, they looked at Rao Junxia timidly.

Rao Junxia smiled at them and said, "Since Auntie gave it to you, then you can eat it!"

Seeing their mother let them eat, the two little girls immediately stuffed the peach cakes into their mouths with a happy look on their faces, and began to eat them in small bites with relish.

Shen Xiaobei then took another piece and gave it to Chen Xiong, who was playing marbles at the door.

Then, he shared a piece with Rao Junxia and himself.

"Let's have a piece too, Sister Junxia. We women also need to know how to not mistreat ourselves."

"Hahaha, Xiaobei, you are really different from other women. You really know how to live! Okay, then I won't be polite!"

After finishing work, I had some snacks and chatted with my sisters and children.

When Duan Xichuan was not at home during the day, Shen Xiaobei felt that her life was pretty good. When he came back at night, she decided to tell him about it, haha, to make him jealous!
