Chapter 422 The Darkness Before Dawn
“That’s right!”
Wen's mother explained, "Chi Chi doesn't like the one with the piping."
Wen Shi said, "??? This looks good, much better than black shoes."
Yi Chichi was worried about his aesthetic taste, and when he saw that he was trying to persuade him, he said, "Don't meddle in girls' affairs."
"That's right, as a man, you shouldn't interfere in our girls' affairs."
Wen Mu's support was justified.
Wen Shi was silent.
That's fine. Girls should handle their own issues. It's better for him, a man like him, to chop wood.
Then, the sound of chopping wood was heard in the backyard.
After trying on the shoes, Yi Chizhi ignored him. Instead, after putting the shoes away, he said to Wen's mother, "Mom, let me make you some clothes to wear when the weather warms up."
"Have you finished your embroidery?"
"Not much left."
"Okay, make me some work clothes out of work cloth, something solid!"
Indeed, denim is the most durable and durable fabric available today.
The second is Dacron, but the output of Dacron has not been significantly increased. The output is limited and the price is high, which actually has little to do with ordinary people.
If you are really jealous, you will just tear off a piece of cloth to make a fake collar.
In this way, you can save face and save money and cloth coupons. I have to say that the wisdom of the working people is endless.
There are several pieces of Dacron at home, including pure white floral ones, but neither Yi Chichi nor Wen's mother is interested in Dacron.
Because of their status, my great aunt and his family were not suitable to wear very good clothes. Even the Dacron could not be made to look old, so they had no choice but to leave them unused.
When measuring Wen's mother, she sighed, "Mom, you've gained a lot of weight this winter."
Mother Wen pinched the flesh around her waist and sighed, "It's normal to gain weight if you only eat and don't do much work every day."
At this point, she was worried, "Is it ugly?"
"I was too thin before, but now my weight is just right."
Putting down the tape measure, she took out some floral Dacron and said, "How about making a skirt with this?"
The corner of Wen's mother's mouth twitched. "This color is not suitable for my age. It's too young."
Which elderly lady would wear floral patterns? If she did, she would probably be criticized for being shameless.
"No skirt."
"How about making a shirt?"
Wen's mother finally understood that her daughter-in-law was determined to consume some Dacron.
"Just change it to the white one."
This is what it means to agree.
As long as it can be consumed, white floral patterns are not bad for Yi Chichi.
She responded with a smile, then cleared the table, took the cloth and spread it out. She was too lazy to draw the lines and just cut directly.
The sound of tearing was endless. Wen's mother watched her skillful cutting movements, and then compared them with the cautious movements of the tailor in the commune's tailor shop, who was afraid of making mistakes. She felt that people will die if they are compared with others, and goods will be thrown away if they are compared with others.
"Do you want my help?"
"No need, Mom, go play by yourself, I can do it by myself."
Wen's mother didn't go out to play, but ran to boil water to prepare a bath.
In the evening, Yi Chichi returned to the room after washing up. Wen Shi was staring at Wen's mother's unfinished shirt with a puzzled expression.
Hearing the footsteps, he couldn't bear to move his eyes and asked, "Wife, is this dress made for me?"
"……no!"
Yi Chizhi wiped his hair and came to the head of the kang. He lifted the mattress, spread a piece of absorbent cotton cloth on it, and lay down. The temperature at the head of the kang was high, which was perfect for drying hair in an era without hair dryers.
"You want a shirt?"
"In no mood."
Wen Shi, who plays a sincere role, shook his head and said, "I don't have time to wear it even if I make it."
I can't wear it at home because the temperature is too low.
You can't just walk around in public wearing a shirt. Only a fool would do that.
Besides, he is not that cold-resistant.
After returning to the army, I wore military uniform every day and had no time to wear it.
So, it would be a waste to do it.
"Just you and mom can wear new clothes."
At this point, he thought of Qin Jiu, "Have you ever made clothes for Xiao Jiu?"
“Yes.”
Wen Shi felt relieved. "We have plenty of fabrics. We can make a few more suits for him. What other children have, our Xiao Jiu has too."
We can't treat them unfairly.
Yi Chichi's eyes softened. This was the man she liked.
While being sincere and emotionally stable, one also loves everyone in the house.
"Have you rarely worn the clothes I made for you before?"
Wen Shi nodded, took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the kang next to her, and took a comb to comb her hair.
"Next time you visit your family, I'll wear it to pick you up."
"I'm just worried you won't be free."
This is true. It is also possible that the person is out of the base and doesn't even know that his wife is coming.
Thinking of this, he could only comfort her by saying, "There will always be a chance to wear it."
By the time you have the chance, the clothes are already out of style.
But it’s okay, she can do it again.
The hair wouldn't dry for a while, and the two chatted idly. As they were chatting, Wen Shi mentioned something, "Lao Qi is leaving."
Yi Chichi didn't realize what he meant by leaving at first, but when he finally realized what he meant, he was shocked and asked, "Why is Lao Qi leaving?"
"Something's wrong with my body."
"Did it happen before?"
Wen Shi nodded, and Yi Chichi sighed. There was nothing he could do about it.
The army has requirements for physical fitness and health. Since Lao Qi has reached the point where he has to leave, his injuries must be more serious than Wen Shi's.
"Will An arrange work for you when you return?"
"Yes, transferred to their local machinery factory."
As for what position, he didn't know.
"You can't bear to leave?"
"Not bad."
Wen Shi didn't lie to him and said bluntly, "It's normal for the army to be divided. The army may change but the soldiers may change. This time it was Lao Qi, next time it might be Lao Lin, or even me."
There is definitely sadness, but it’s not like we’ve lost contact.
As long as we keep in touch, the brotherhood and camaraderie will always be there.
"Old He is still here."
It would be fine if I didn't mention Lao He, but as soon as I mentioned Lao He, Wen Shi was filled with resentment, "Lao He is becoming more and more shameless."
"What did he do?"
These two iron-clad brothers are friends who are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other.
Now Wen Shi called him shameless. What did Lao He do to deserve such an evaluation from him?
Yi Chichi was full of curiosity about this.
"He shows off his wife to me every day."
Yi hesitated to respond, and finally figured out where Wen Shi's resentment came from.
It was obvious that he got married earlier than He Yunsong, but He Yunsong ended up getting married later.
But this is not the point. The point is that He Yunsong’s wife is by his side.
Unlike her, who stays in her hometown.
She was afraid to speak up herself, and Wen Shi mentioned the matter of joining the army to her again.
However, it was still mentioned when I didn't open my mouth to smell it.
He put down the comb and held Yi Chizhi's face, saying like a little wife, "Wife, when will you come to accompany me?"
Yi Chichi laughed dryly, "I thought we had reached a consensus before."
As soon as these words came out, Wen Shi knew that his trick of pretending to be pitiful had failed.
He sighed, "I have a feeling the environment will get worse soon."
"I feel the opposite of you."
According to historical trends, there will be a slight change in direction by the end of this year.
What will follow will be the final madness.
It is also the darkness before dawn.
She shook Wen Shi's hand, looked him in the eyes, and said, "Hold on a little longer, pay more attention to current affairs, and extract information from them. You will find what you want."
