The live broadcast officially began. This time, people started watching from the very beginning.
Su He: "Da Mao and Er Mao are too young after all. I was afraid that we would buy too many nice things for the family. If the two children accidentally go out and talk about it, it would be bad if others remember them. I didn't dare to take it out this morning."
Teacher Wu nodded. "That's the right thing to do. Damao and Ermao are much more sensible than other children, but even if they are sensible, they are still children. I'm afraid there will be bad people who can't stand seeing other families doing well and get pink eye. Even if there's nothing wrong, they'll cause trouble. That's unnecessary!"
Su He first took out the three pieces of woolen skin from a bag and showed them to her mother-in-law. She also took out a roll of black corduroy cloth.
Teacher Wu saw that the leather was thick and fleshy to the touch, and the fur was neatly arranged and not very long. He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "I haven't seen fur in years. When your grandmother was young, she had all kinds of leather! She even had some very rare ones!"
She looked at the velvet again: "This velvet is so old? It's almost a whole roll of cloth, right?"
Su He explained that the corduroy fabric was defective because she had given the salesperson a bribe, but it wasn't noticeable. She then took out two pairs of flat-toed shoes and asked her mother-in-law to try one on. "I saw the shoes you had hanging out were a size 35, so I bought you that size. I tried a size 36 on myself and it wasn't too small."
"Oh, this is really warm! These shoes are really good. You are so lucky to be able to buy so many good things. It's really rare for a supply and marketing cooperative in a small town to have such good things!"
Su He nodded. "Of course not. The saleswoman there, I exchanged her candy coupons twice. She said she had some good stuff to give me first. Otherwise, how could I have bought so many fleece jackets and pants?"
While talking about using sheepskin to make cotton shoes for the three children, he took things out of his pocket. This time it was dried vegetables, such as dried mushrooms and black fungus, all bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Teacher Wu: "It's good for the three children to make cotton shoes. When they are finished, they will sew cloth inside and outside the leather so that others can't see. I need to find an awl and thick cotton rope for making shoes first."
Su He asked, "Mom, this sheepskin is enough to make shoes for the three children, and the remaining two are enough to make cotton-padded clothes for the two of us."
Teacher Wu shook her head: "It's not enough. I can only make two waistcoats at most. I'll make one for you alone. I'm an old lady. It would be a waste to make this!"
Su He nodded. She could cheat and place an order on the Star Mall at any time. Of course, she didn't need to buy two more. So in order to avoid arguing with her mother-in-law, she agreed to make the whole dress for herself first.
After packing up the things, the sheepskin was put into the room first. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to divide the work and cooperate. Su He cut the cotton cloth and lining of the tops. After cutting the tops, she started to use the corduroy cloth to cut the pants. Each of the three children had two pairs of overalls to wear over the cotton pants.
Teacher Wu cut the upper and lining according to the shoe pattern, bought foam soles, and then sewed an extra plastic sole underneath.
This plastic sole is cut from a worn-out Liberation Shoe. This kind of shoes is also more wear-resistant.
Quite a few people liked this live broadcast. This kind of live broadcast with a strong sense of life is something many people like to watch. They say it is like watching another kind of pastoral life and they envy the broadcaster for having natural organic food to eat. Some people even asked Su He if those dried foods could be put on the shelves for sale.
Su He replied to these people in her mind, saying that she needed to think about it. She didn't understand why these people who came from nowhere liked these very common ingredients so much.
Teacher Wu mentioned that when she went out to look for Damao and Ermao at noon, she saw several cars coming in, and all the people who came were wearing military uniforms. Later, she heard people whispering that Lao Lin had been captured!
Su He thought, this happened too fast. Lin Aihua had just discovered the letter written by her father, and she was taken away. If it wasn't Lin Aihua who reported it, was there someone else?
After hearing what Mr. Wu said on the live broadcast platform, everyone started to cheer and hoped that Mr. Wu could elaborate on the matter.
Su He's mind popped up a sentence: "This involves confidential information, no comment!"
But soon someone came to answer the questions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
