She was originally the mercenary queen of the 23rd century, proficient in both medicine and poison. One day, she was betrayed by her adopted sister and boyfriend working together. In a fit of anger...
After buying the sewing machine, Zhang Sitong quickly took out two dollars to hire a bullock cart to deliver the sewing machine back to them.
Su Ruoli bought some other things and put all of them on the ox cart.
She and Zhang Sitong rode their bicycles in front, with the ox cart following far behind.
When I got home, the old man driving the ox cart would help me carry the sewing machine.
Su Ruoli quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Master, please don't do it. You might hurt your waist again. I can do it myself."
The old man sighed and said, "How can you two girls get in? At least there are people to help carry you in the county town."
Su Ruoli didn't say anything, but just walked forward and took the sewing machine off the ox cart by herself.
The oxcart driver was stunned. The girl looked so weak, but he didn't expect her to be so strong.
Zhang Sitong also stepped forward and took down the small package on the ox cart. "Okay, uncle, why don't you go in and have a drink of water?"
"No, no, I have to hurry back. My wife is waiting for me at home," said the old man.
Su Ruoli put down the sewing machine and went into the house to bring out an enamel pot of hot water. She handed the water to the old man and said, "Uncle, it's so cold. Drink some hot water to warm yourself up before continuing on your journey. There's no need to rush for a while."
The old man wiped his hands on his collar again and again, then went to take it with trembling hands. In the past, when he delivered things to others, people either complained that he was too slow or that the things were bumped. This was the first time someone brought him water to drink.
The old man drank the water and handed the enamel pot back to Su Ruoli, "Thank you, young lady."
"What are you thanking me for? We should thank you. You helped us deliver things in such a cold day." Su Ruoli said.
"We have to live our lives to make ends meet. Who wouldn't want to stay home in such a cold day?" The old man said, shaking his head, and then drove away in his ox cart.
"Yes, life forces me to do that." After saying that, Su Ruoli picked up the sewing machine and went back to her room.
Zhang Sitong followed Su Ruoli with a bunch of things in her arms and moved all the things back to Su Ruoli's room.
"Ruoli, you clean up first. I'll go and heat the kang for you. When I come back, we'll continue making clothes." After saying that, Zhang Sitong ran away to heat the kang for Su Ruoli.
Su Ruoli placed the sewing machine by the window and looked at it carefully.
With it, she no longer has to sew stitch by hand. Otherwise, after sewing for several people in the cowshed, her hands would probably be riddled with holes.
Zhang Sitong quickly heated up the kang, and the whole room gradually became warmer.
The two of them gathered around the table and began to organize the fabrics and tools, preparing to continue making clothes.
"Ruoli, what are you planning to do this time?" Zhang Sitong's eyes were full of anticipation.
Su Ruoli asked with a smile, "What kind of shape do you like? Tell me and I'll see if I can make it for you."
Zhang Sitong told Su Ruoli what kind of clothes she had in mind.
Su Ruoli listened carefully and said, "You want to go to heaven and become a fairy, but we are making cotton-padded jackets."
Zhang Sitong chuckled, "You asked me to say this. I was just imagining it boldly. Anyway, the cloth is given to you, so do whatever you want."
"Then I'll just make it casually. You have to wear it even if it's a sack." Su Ruoli said with a smile.
"You are naturally beautiful. You will look good even in a sack. Besides, I believe in your craftsmanship. Even if it is a sack, it will definitely be the most beautiful one." Zhang Sitong said.
"You are so sweet." Su Ruoli tapped Zhang Sitong's forehead.
The cloth bought by Zhang Sitong was cut into pieces according to Zhang Sitong's size.
Su Ruoli threaded the sewing machine, sat in front of it and started operating it. The needle and thread moved quickly, sewing pieces of fabric together.
After putting cotton inside, Su Ruoli continued to sit in front of the sewing machine and operate it.
Su Ruoli's room was filled with the sound of tapping for the entire afternoon. Zhang Sitong sat there until dinner time and then went to the kitchen to cook.
Finally, in the evening, a brand new cotton coat was completed.
Su Ruoli took the cotton coat to the kitchen and handed it to Zhang Sitong, "Try it on and see if it fits."
Zhang Sitong threw down the shovel in her hand, washed her hands, and then happily took the cotton coat.
After taking off her apron, Zhang Sitong ran back to her room with the clothes in her arms.
She put on her cotton coat and looked at herself in the mirror again and again. "It looks so good! Ruoli's craftsmanship is really good!"
Su Ruoli looked at the food in the pot, shook her head, picked up a spatula and stir-fried it a few times, then found a plate to serve it.
Zhang Sitong ran over and hugged Su Ruoli, "Ruoli, how can you be so amazing? This dress is so beautiful, I like it so much."
"As long as you like it." Su Ruoli looked at Zhang Sitong's happy face, and her heart was filled with satisfaction. It was such a happy thing that others liked what she made.
Zhang Sitong still held Su Ruoli tightly, "Ruoli, you are so good. What should I do? I can't live without you."
Su Ruoli was helpless and could only say, "If you don't let go, the food will get cold."
Zhang Sitong then let go of Su Ruoli and said, "Yes, yes, you've been busy all afternoon. You need to replenish your nutrition quickly."
As he said that, he took the dish from Su Ruoli's hand and said, "You go sit down and rest, I'll do it."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for the meal. Thank you for the hard work of our little Sitong." After saying that, Su Ruoli walked over empty-handed and sat at the dining table.
After dinner, Su Ruoli was pushed back by Zhang Sitong to rest, and she washed the pots and dishes in the kitchen by herself.
Su Ruoli returned to the room and put all the fabric and cotton from the sewing machine into the space. It was still early anyway, so she could make clothes in the space for a while.
She wanted to finish making the cotton-padded jackets for her grandmother and the others tonight. The weather was getting colder, so she planned to make two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers for each of the elderly people so they could change.
She will make one set first and let them wear it, and then she will do the rest slowly.
Su Ruoli was busy in the space for most of the night and finally finished making cotton-padded clothes for the elderly. Only because she had enough time in the space could she make all the clothes. If she was outside, it would take her several days.
She folded the clothes and planned to send them to her grandmother and others tomorrow.
Then, she began to think about making clothes for Zhang Sitong. Thinking of Zhang Sitong saying that she wanted to be a fairy, Su Ruoli couldn't help but smile.
She took out a piece of light blue cloth from the space and began to cut it according to Zhang Sitong's description. After a while, she had finished cutting the cloth.
She was also extremely tired. She put away all her things and stretched. "I'm so tired!" She felt like her neck was about to break.
After taking a bath in the spiritual spring, I fell on the small bed. As soon as I had some free time, I thought of Lu Chen unconsciously. I wondered if Lu Chen had arrived and whether he was asleep now.
Thinking of every little detail of her time with Lu Chen, the corners of her mouth curled up and she slowly fell asleep.
