Chapter 851 The Gossiping Woman
This... Xia Liang stroked his chin and laughed: "That's good too. Anyway, I won't be a laborer for her in the future."
"Hey, but I'm worried. Sister, you said Zhou Hao is gone, and only Xia Jing is left. Will she come to trouble you again?"
Xia Liang frowned. Don't worry, Xia Jing is so shameless, she might really come over.
The two returned home and rested this afternoon.
"Let's go for a walk in town!"
Yang Xiaohong was still excited. She would no longer have to work and she wanted to concentrate on her studies.
"Okay, wait a moment, let's put on new clothes."
"Is this the one you made for me last time?"
Xia Liang nodded. It was the fabric that Ning Zhiyuan’s mother sent her. The color was very beautiful.
Not many people wore skirts at that time, so Xia Liang made a small suit, which was the style of a small suit in later times.
Actually, she wanted to make skirts at first, but there were too few opportunities to wear skirts in the village.
"Yes, I made these sister outfits according to your request."
Xia Liang buttoned up her clothes neatly. Yang Xiao smiled with red eyes, narrowing them into slits: "Wow, sister, you are so nice. I like sister outfits the most."
"For now, let's wear this one. After a while, when you get into college, I'll make you a dress. It will definitely be the most beautiful dress."
"Really?" Yang Xiaohong jumped up happily. Seeing her happy look, Xia Liang also smiled: "You can definitely wear a skirt in college."
"Okay, you try it first!"
Xia Liang handed the clothes to Yang Xiaohong, but she hadn't buttoned her own clothes yet.
"Then let me try it on first!"
Xia Liang had made clothes before, and had made a lot of them. Now, whether it was making clothes or nailing buttons, she was very familiar with it.
Soon, Yang Xiaohong came out. You have to admit, this outfit looks really smart.
Xia Liang went forward to help her comb her hair again, tied it into a high ponytail, and then tied the bow she made last time.
“This makes me feel more energetic!”
Yang Xiaohong looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied: "Sister, your craftsmanship is really good. You should try it on too!"
Although Xia Liang was pregnant, it was still early in the pregnancy and her belly was not yet exposed, so she looked no different from a little girl.
The set she wore was one size smaller than Yang Xiaohong's, but it showed off her figure very well.
"Sister, you look so beautiful!" Yang Xiaohong looked at Xia Liang with satisfaction and picked up the comb: "Let me help you tie your hair!"
Soon the two sisters came out wearing the same clothes and with the same hairstyle. From a distance they really looked like a pair of real sisters.
Xia Liang packed up and they rode their 28-inch bicycles to the town.
Yang Xiaohong even pushed her bicycle all the way to the village entrance.
Looking at her childish behavior, Xia Liang was also helpless.
In Yang Xiaohong's words, they wanted to let everyone in the village know that they were wearing new clothes.
You know, the styles of their clothes have never been seen before. Aren’t the villagers jealous and envious?
Besides, many people in rural areas now wear clothes that are patched up, and they don’t wear new clothes for several years.
And the two sisters, even though it’s not a New Year or any festival now, have new clothes to wear, so shouldn’t they go out and show off?
When they reached the village chief's house, Aunt Li also saw them. She ran out excitedly, held their hands and looked at them for a long time, exclaiming: "Whose little girl is this? How can she be so beautiful!"
The two girls laughed, and Yang Xiaohong made a face: "Yours!"
"Haha, look carefully, it's not mine."
Xia Liang also covered her mouth and chuckled. Aunt Li glanced at Yang Xiaohong and said, "Look at your sister. She doesn't learn from her. She's not reserved at all!"
"I...I understand, Mom."
In the past, Yang Xiaohong always called her mother "Mom", but later she heard Xia Liang calling her mother "Mom" and it sounded pretty good, so she changed her mind too.
"Okay, I won't keep you two any longer. Hurry up and go. The sun will set if you don't leave now!"
Aunt Li was also straightforward. Xia Liang looked at her kind smile and thought to herself that when she went to the town later, she would see if there was any suitable fabric and make a set for Aunt Li and the village chief.
There are patches on their clothes.
In fact, this is what everyone wears at this time. It’s not that there are no new clothes at home, but who would be willing to wear them when they are at home?
I only wear it once during the Chinese New Year, and sometimes when I go out to visit relatives, I will wear new clothes. But when I get home, I have to change into old clothes.
One or two patches are too few, and some people have more patches.
This was an era of three years of new, three years of old, and three years of mending. Every family had quite a few children, and basically the adult's clothes were altered and given to the eldest child. When the eldest child couldn't wear them anymore, they were given to the second and third child, and so on.
It’s okay if clothes get torn, just mend them and continue wearing them as long as they can hold up.
Xia Liang had rarely worn new clothes before, and all her clothes were things that her mother and Xia Jing didn't want.
Even during the Chinese New Year, Xia's mother never bought clothes for her.
Thinking of Xia Jing, Xia Liang felt her teeth itch with hatred. This woman is having a hard time now, but how can this be enough?
Yang Xiaohong took Xia Liang away, and there were many people playing on the street.
Liu Zhaodi held her son in her arms. Seeing that Xia Liang and the others had left and Aunt Li had also gone home, she spat in disdain: "Humph, you look like a bad person dressed like this. I don't know who you'll pick up in town!"
Next to her were two women holding children, some of whom were even younger, less than one year old.
"Oh, Liu Zhaodi, they are just strolling around town, how can you say that about them? Besides, let's not talk about Xia Liang, the educated youth, but Xiaohong grew up under our care. Don't you know what kind of person she is?"
"That's right. If you ask me, Xia Liang is a pretty good educated youth. You can't be prejudiced against her just because your child stole her meat, right?"
Hearing what the two women said, Liu Zhaodi immediately became unhappy. Her face darkened and she angrily said, "Don't you know what kind of personality my Dashuang has? She has been very honest since she was a child. Why didn't she go after other people, but went after Xia Liang's meat?"
"Have you ever seen my Dashuang rob someone's stuff?"
These women usually get together, so not only are they very familiar with each other, they are also very familiar with each other's children.
"Now that you mention it, I really remember that Dashuang is the most timid person. Why did she suddenly go and steal other people's food?"
"That's right, I remember that Dashuang was very sensible and didn't seem like that kind of child!" another woman also said.
"Liu Zhaodi, what happened to your Dashuang?"
