"Comrade, how much is this?" A girl in her early twenties, with two braids hanging down to her chest, squatted there, holding a light-colored curtain in her hand and asked.

The bottom of the curtain is a dyed area. If you are not an expert, you can't tell that this was originally a defective piece of cloth. You might think it was designed like this on purpose. It looks very unique.

Shen Qinghe paused for a moment. Why did the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative who sold her the defective cloth come to the black market to buy things?

Are you testing me? Or do you really want to buy something?

"Comrade?" Luo Ailan raised her eyes, blinking her beautiful big eyes, and looked at Shen Qinghe in confusion.

Shen Qinghe came back to her senses and prepared herself mentally.

She was in disguise now, and the salesman couldn't recognize her at all.

She lowered her voice and said, "Four dollars!"

Luo Ailan smiled faintly without saying anything, then stood up and looked around.

Her actions made Shen Qinghe alert. Was she going to report her? And with an accomplice?

She winked at Jiang Chunlin, signaling him to act according to circumstances and run away if the situation went wrong.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Luo Ailan said to Shen Qinghe in a very low voice, "Comrade, this is a defective cloth that has been modified, right? Sell it to me for three dollars, otherwise I will report you."

Shen Qinghe felt relieved, "Deal!"

Luo Ailan pursed her cherry lips and smiled, took out a snow-white handkerchief from her pocket, unfolded it, counted out three dollars and handed it to Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe rolled her eyes, picked up a rose-red wool wallet she had crocheted, and stuffed it into Luo Ailan's hand.

"Comrade, this is for you. You are welcome to come again next time."

Luo Ailan was stunned. She looked at the wallet in her hand, then looked at the half-crocheted pendant next to it. A look of amazement flashed in her eyes!

What a clever pair of hands!

She didn't hesitate and put the handkerchief into her purse. She smiled at Shen Qinghe and said, "I don't know who you got these defective cloths from. Tell her that the supply and marketing cooperative will have a batch of defective cloths that don't require tickets at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning."

After saying that, Luo Jialan turned and left.

A smile slowly crept onto Shen Qinghe's face. This was considered returning a favor!

It seems that this salesperson really likes the little purse she crocheted.

If she could cooperate with this salesperson, she wouldn't have to worry about fabric in the future.

"Let's go. The supply and marketing cooperative will be closing soon. I have already issued a receipt for the sewing machine. We can just go there and take it away." Jiang Chunlin said to Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe withdrew her gaze from Luo Ailan's back and nodded.

The two of them packed up their things and went to a deserted place to change back into their original clothes before heading towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

When Shen Qinghe went to the supply and marketing cooperative to get a sewing machine, she ran into Tang Hao, who was standing in the non-staple food area buying all kinds of food. He wanted to buy all the food. If he guessed correctly, he should be buying it for Zhu Qiaolan.

Tang Hao noticed someone was looking at him. He turned his head and met Shen Qinghe's beautiful peach blossom eyes. After realizing that it was someone he didn't know, he turned around and continued shopping.

Shen Qinghe raised her eyebrows, hoping that he would not give her the wrong answer!

Jiang Chunlin found an ox cart and moved the sewing machine onto it.

Shen Qinghe was standing next to the ox cart and was about to climb up when her waist suddenly tightened and she was lifted up and placed on the ox cart.

There were several women sitting on the ox cart, and they were stunned by the scene!

In broad daylight...how shameless!

Jiang Chunlin ignored the women who looked at him as if he were a gangster, sat next to Shen Qinghe, and held the sewing machine with his hands.

Several women focused their attention on the sewing machines, all showing envious expressions.

In those days, sewing machines were a luxury. If a family had one, the whole village would envy them.

From Taoyuan County to Taoyuan Village, passing through several villages, several women got off the ox cart one after another, and finally only Shen Qinghe and Jiang Chunlin were left in the ox cart.

Jiang Chunlin gave two cents more and the ox cart stopped directly in front of Jiang's house.

He Xiuyun had just finished cooking and was sitting in the yard with Jiang Jianguo to enjoy the cool air while waiting for Jiang Chunlin and Shen Qinghe to come back for dinner. When she saw Jiang Chunlin getting off the ox cart, she was about to speak when she saw him carry a sewing machine out of the cart.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qinghe jumped out of the ox cart.

After the ox cart left, Jiang Chunlin moved the sewing machine into the house and turned to ask Shen Qinghe, "Where did you put it?"

Shen Qinghe pointed to the inner room and said, "Put it inside."

It's hot, and almost every household leaves their doors open. Sewing machines are placed openly in the main room, which is bound to arouse jealousy.

"Buy a sewing machine!" He Xiuyun walked into the house and looked at the shiny and polished sewing machine, and her eyes also became shiny and polished.

"Mom, you don't have to sew clothes by hand anymore. A sewing machine will be much faster." Shen Qinghe said to He Xiuyun with a smile.

Shen Qinghe has been going to the county town every day recently. He Xiuyun has figured it out. As long as the couple lives well, it doesn't matter what they buy.

She also knew that her youngest son did not work hard and did other things secretly. His ability to earn money was better than the above three. He was able to buy a sewing machine, which showed that he had the ability to do so.

Even if a mother feels that this thing is not practical, she will not spoil her fun at this time.

"Wow! This sewing machine is so big!" Wang Dan walked in, stared at the sewing machine and said sourly.

It was originally thought that the fourth son of the Jiang family would remain a bachelor for his entire life and live a miserable life, but unexpectedly, after getting married, his life became better and better.

God just bought a bicycle, and today he bought a sewing machine.

She didn't need to eat today, as she had already drunk enough of the sour water in her mouth.

Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia also came over to look at the sewing machine. They were very envious, but they were not as sarcastic as Wang Dan.

Jiang Chunming and his two brothers did not come to watch the fun. They wanted to see it but did not dare to, for fear that their wives would ask them for sewing machines on the spot.

Who could have thought that the most unruly Old Four would be living such a miserable life now!

…

There are no secrets in the countryside. The fact that Jiang Chunlin bought a sewing machine for his wife was known to everyone, like the wind with legs, even the dogs in Taoyuan Village knew about it.

Qi Qingmei was sewing clothes at home. Yes, she planned to make clothes and sell them on the black market.

She wanted to earn money to support Jiang Xiaohui so that she could be helpful to him.

In reality, she knew that Shen Qinghe liked to make clothes, and many of her clothes were made by herself, which were fashionable and beautiful.

Since Jiang Xiaohui likes Shen Qinghe, she set up her character in the book completely based on Shen Qinghe's personality.

Of course she couldn't make clothes, but fortunately, people in this era didn't have high requirements for clothing styles. As long as it could be worn, it was fine, and no one cared whether it fit.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qinghe got a sewing machine before her.

Qi Fusheng and his family were sitting in the yard eating and discussing Jiang Chunlin's purchase of a sewing machine.

Jiang Chunlin has a bad reputation, but Qi Fusheng still admires this bold guy who dares to think and act, has great strength, and can do the work of two people.

"Dad, I need a sewing machine."

Qi Qingmei stood in front of Qi Fusheng, looked at him with tears on her face and said.

Liang Lu rolled her eyes and started showing off her acting skills again.

Since you are so good at acting, why don’t you become an actor?
