"You're out of school, why are you alone here? Where are Xiaoshu and Yangbai?" Yang Liu was gesturing with the clothes she had made, and asked when she saw her come back.
Yang Zhi went to pour a glass of water and drank it before answering, "They were playing with the villagers in the back. I was too lazy to wait for them so I came back first."
Seeing a pile of messy things on the table, she casually picked up the finished product in Yang Liu's hand and asked, "Second sister, why are the pants you made for Yang Bai so short?"
The shortest person in their two families was Yang Bai, but when she compared it with her hands, she found that even if it was worn by Yang Bai, it would probably be too short.
Yang Nan tried to hold back her laughter, but her shaking shoulders betrayed her.
Yang Liu looked at the older sister who was laughing uncontrollably and gave her a resentful look, "Big sister, is it really that funny? After all, this is my first time doing it, you should at least give me some encouragement."
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Yang Nan went over and held her shoulders, but her face still turned red.
Seeing Yang Zhi looking at them with a puzzled expression, Yang Liu took the clothes from her hand and explained, "This is the shirt sleeve I made for Chu Yue."
Yang Zhi: “….”
"Second sister, this fabric looks quite expensive. I think you should not waste it." She suggested solemnly while holding back her smile.
"Are my cooking skills really that bad?" Yang Liu looked at the two of them with a bitter face and asked seriously.
Who knew that the two sisters didn't even bother to be polite and just nodded like crazy.
Well, she is indeed a clumsy person.
"Forget it, I won't do it anymore, big sister. Thank you for your help."
She could only comfort herself that everyone has their own expertise and there is no need to waste time in areas that they are not good at.
Yang Nan was in charge, and the other two were responsible for measuring the size and then cutting. Although she didn't know how to make clothes, she could still do this job.
It was easier to make clothes for children. She spent the whole afternoon and only finished Yang Bai's clothes. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, she went home to cook.
Yang Liu thought that her parents had to repair the canal every day recently, and they were doing physical work, so she tried to prepare meat dishes every day.
It was just that because the prepared meals were always delivered there for lunch, she didn't dare to prepare too many delicious dishes. She still understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
Those aunties loved to gossip about other people's affairs and ask questions. Although she earned her money through her own labor, she couldn't show it publicly. In order not to arouse suspicion, she just cooked some ordinary dishes at noon.
Now at night, when she is eating at home behind closed doors, she has to cook more delicious food.
Moreover, Yang Bai is almost eight years old now, but he is still thin and small because of lack of nutrition, so she also wants to nourish the child as soon as possible.
There was pork at home, so she planned to make some braised pork, some tiger-skin green peppers, and then a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. She also made a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds. Considering that there was a person with a weak spleen and stomach at home, she now cooked slightly spicy dishes.
The main reason is that the people in their family are used to eating strong flavors, and they won’t be able to get used to it if there is no spiciness in the food.
The staple food is rice.
Just as she finished cooking the dishes and was about to wash the rice and cook, she heard a scream coming from outside the yard.
"Second sister, something bad has happened. A group of people wearing armbands have come to the school. They look very fierce and they said they want to take my husband away."
Yang Bai's face flushed red, and he was sweating profusely. He held his stomach and shouted anxiously.
Yang Liu knew at a glance that he had run all the way back, so she quickly poured him a glass of water. After he finished drinking it, she said, "Tell me slowly, how could your brother-in-law be taken away for no reason?"
The little guy's face was filled with panic. He shook his head and said, "I only know that those people around him said he was a spy. Then they searched his desk for a lot of secret documents. Now they say they're handing him over to the commune leaders."
"And I also heard from Tian Zhuang's grandmother that my brother-in-law is going to be sent to prison to eat peanuts. Second sister, what do you mean by eating peanuts?"
Yang Liu rubbed his head and comforted him, "Be good, wait for me at home. I'll go check it out. Oh, you can cook, right? When you've finished cooking, your brother-in-law and I will be back."
After hearing her words, the little guy finally showed a smile on his face, "Really?"
"Of course. When has my second sister ever lied to you?"
"Then please come back soon, Second Sister. I'll cook right away and make sure you can have a hot meal when you come back."
After leaving the kitchen, Yang Liu looked around and found that it was too conspicuous to carry weapons like sticks in such occasions. Finally, she picked up the kitchen knife that she usually used to chop pig grass, and then put it on her waist. Fortunately, the outer clothes were big and long enough to cover it, so it was not visible at all at this moment.
Then I saw her walking towards the school with a proud and confident look on her face.
But after a while, a large crowd of people gathered in the school playground, all of them were there to watch the fun.
There were also many people carrying hoes on their shoulders and holding sickles in their hands. It was obvious that they had just returned from the fields. In order to watch the fun, they even skipped their meals.
When Yang Liu arrived, he saw several circles of people gathered there, including men, women, young and old. The scene was even more spectacular than the Chinese New Year, except for a few firecrackers.
Someone in the crowd whispered, "I didn't expect that Chu Zhiqing, who looks like a decent person, is actually a spy."
"That's right. Don't judge a book by its cover. You women are so short-sighted that you can't even walk when you see a good-looking pretty boy. Now you know that roses with thorns are poisonous." The person who said this was Li Dazui's man Tian San.
