Chapter 50 Stupid and Vicious
Aunt Ma slapped her thigh and said, "Why bother looking for someone else? If you trust me, just give me the cloth. My mother-in-law is the best at making clothes in this area. I still have some cotton left at home. I can find someone I know to get some and make a winter coat for Heidan."
Song Wei's eyes lit up, and she stuffed the cloth directly to Aunt Ma: "How can I not trust you?"
"Auntie Ma, if you have extra cotton, I would like your mother-in-law to make me a winter coat. I heard that the winters here are very cold, and the clothes I brought when I came here were not very thick."
"That's no problem. Every household here has saved some cotton. I'll go ask the villagers."
"How about this, I'll measure your size first, and then I'll tell my mother-in-law when she comes back."
I can earn more than five dollars by making three sets of clothes.
"Okay."
Song Wei took Heidan and measured his body data: "Auntie, make Heidan's clothes a little bigger. He is too thin now. He will not be able to wear it when he gains weight."
Aunt Ma nodded: "I know this."
People in her village always make clothes bigger for their children.
She also measured her body size, and when it was about right, she gave Aunt Ma three dollars as a deposit to reassure her, and she would give the rest when she came to pick up the clothes.
Finally, I asked about Aunt Ma the carpenter.
"Auntie Ma, which carpenter is this cabinet maker you're talking about?"
"Wait, I'll take you there right away."
"No need. Just tell me the place. Heidan knows the way and he can take me there."
In fact, Heidan should know which family in the village is the carpenter, but he had promised Aunt Ma before, so he came to ask anyway.
"It's the old carpenter's at the end of our village. Many people in our village know some carpentry skills, but the old carpenter's prices are honest and his products are sturdy and durable. It's more cost-effective to go to him."
Heidan nodded: "Sister Song, I know where it is."
He had little contact with the villagers, and although he knew where each house was, he didn't know many of the details.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Ma, Song Wei stuffed a steamed bun into her mouth.
Aunt Ma couldn't refuse, so she smiled and quickly picked some vegetables from her own vegetable garden and handed them to Song Wei.
"Take it back and add some more dishes, and don't be polite to your aunt."
Song Wei didn't refuse and left with the dishes and Heidan.
After that, he went to Carpenter Jiang's house.
After explaining the purpose of the visit, the old carpenter pointed to a room and said, "There are cabinets and chairs that I made in there. You can choose them yourself. As for the cage you want, it is also simple. I will deliver it to the Youth Home in the afternoon."
Song Wei went to choose a kang cabinet, a large cabinet to store things, and two chairs.
There were too many things to move, so the old carpenter lent them his cart.
The old carpenter wanted to help move the cabinet onto the cart, but the next second he saw Song Wei's small body lifting the cabinet that was much taller than her.
Old carpenter: “!!!”
He looked at Song Wei with his eyes almost popping out, and his mouth was open for a long time without closing it.
Heidan was not surprised and followed her, holding the chair in his arms.
After Song Wei put the large cabinet on the cart and clapped her hands, she turned around and saw the old carpenter staring at her blankly.
Song Wei blinked her eyes and a smile appeared on her face, looking well-behaved and weak.
What the hell is weakness! The old carpenter looked at her with a complicated expression: "Girl, you are quite strong... huh."
Song Wei laughed: "It's OK, mainly because your cabinet is not heavy."
Uncle: ...What nonsense are you talking about? Even if it’s not heavy, you don’t look like you can lift it.
All the things cost four yuan in total, and only the cabinet was a little bigger and more expensive. The cabinet was not a common style in the village. It was made by the old carpenter based on the description of the educated youth. However, no one wanted it because it was a bit expensive. Now that Song Wei bought it, the old carpenter must be very happy.
Song Wei and Heidan transported all the things back, and just as they put everything away the educated youth came back.
"Some people are really lucky. This is the nth time they have asked for leave."
Seeing Song Wei, even though they knew they couldn't beat her or win the argument, some people still wanted to be mean to her.
For example, Liu Linlin and Xu Laidi.
Xu Lai Di couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw the shoes on Heidan, and then she said something sarcastic.
"How stupid! You are almost out of food and you want to raise a child. You have money to burn."
Heidan glared at Xu Laidi fiercely: "It's none of your business!"
He was well-behaved in front of Song Wei, but he still looked like a little wolf cub when facing outsiders.
Xu Laidi was about to say something, but Song Wei snapped a wooden stick as thick as an arm with his bare hands.
She looked at Xu Laidi with a smile on her face. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes seemed to say, 'If you say another word, I'll tear your mouth apart.'
Xu Laidi got scared again, and the others also consciously stood a little further away from Song Wei.
Song Wei looked at Luo Yecheng.
"Luo Zhiqing, when will you return my ticket to me?"
Luo Yecheng's eyes were erratic and he didn't dare to look at her: "I'm already preparing."
After saying this, he left in a hurry with an ugly expression.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Until now, he was no longer sure that Song Wei still liked him.
The others also dispersed and did their own things.
Today Song Wei caught a rabbit and went to find Li Juan.
When she saw the rabbit, Li Juan's eyes were full of surprise.
“Rabbit…rabbit!”
Oh my God, Song Wei’s luck is so good. He just caught a snake and a fish not long ago, and now he caught a wild rabbit!
She ate more meat this month than she had in all the previous months combined.
Song Wei is simply her lucky star!
Song Wei threw the rabbit to her: "Kill it and eat it. Oh, and I have some wild boar meat."
I still have some of the wild boar meat I ordered last time.
“Wild boar meat!!!”
Li Juan screamed and then quickly covered her mouth.
"Where are you from?"
Song Wei remained calm: "Black market."
"You went to that place!"
Li Juan's eyes widened. "It's very dangerous there. I've heard before that some educated youth went to the black market and were arrested. That educated youth hasn't come back yet."
Song Wei asked Heidan to bring the pork over: "I can run fast."
She is still very confident in her skills.
Li Juan muttered, "You have to be careful."
Looking at the wild boar meat that Heidan brought over, Li Juan said excitedly, "Let's make dumplings. We haven't eaten them for a long time. I have some flour here. Add some sauerkraut to the pork. It will be appetizing and delicious. We can also eat more dumplings."
Dumplings. She had dreamed of eating them during those ten years in the wasteland apocalypse. Song Wei nodded vigorously with a rolling throat.
Then the two adults and one child started to get busy.
Song Wei, who is strong, is responsible for kneading the dough, Li Juan is responsible for preparing the fillings, and Heidan is responsible for making the fire.
Seeing Heidan working diligently, Li Juan sighed.
"What on earth were the Lin family thinking? How could they abuse Heidan, such a diligent child, like this?"
She felt heartbroken when she saw the injuries on Heidan's body.
Song Wei sneered: "Stupid and vicious."
Li Juan: This is a very insightful description.
