Xu Manman waved her hand, indicating that it was no big deal. Of course, she couldn't tell anyone about the large amount of cloth in the space. "The daughter-in-law of our village accountant sells cloth at the supply and marketing cooperative. She often has some defective cloth, so I bought some from her. These don't require cloth coupons, and they don't cost much.
Besides, you look so good in it, it's totally worth the money." Tailor Xu was very satisfied with the result.
Chen Ming still had some doubts in his heart, but when he looked down at the new clothes that fitted him well, although he felt sorry for his cousin's money, the clothes had already been made and could not be returned. Seeing that his cousin was so excited, he did not want to spoil her fun.
"Go out and wait for a moment. I'll change my clothes and make you lunch."
"Clothes are made to be worn, and I rinse them, so they are all clean." Xu Manman thought that her cousin disliked the clothes because they were not clean.
"It's because they are clean, and I want to change them because I'm afraid they will get dirty." Chen Ming was reluctant to let such new clothes get stained with oil smoke.
Seeing Chen Ming's firm attitude, Xu Manman touched her nose, did not refute, and walked out of the house obediently.
Chen Ming quickly changed into his old clothes, carefully folded the new clothes, and put them in a wooden box. Then he opened the door, led Xu Manman in, and sat her down on the kang.
"You rest in the house for a while. I'll go pick some vegetables." Chen Ming took another plate and put some peanuts and biscuits on the kang table. "If you're hungry, eat something first."
"Yeah." Xu Manman sat cross-legged on the kang and nodded obediently.
Chen Ming smiled and touched his cousin's head, then turned around, took a bamboo basket and went out, not forgetting to close the door when he left.
After Chen Ming left, Xu Manman put her arms on the kang table, rested her chin on her hand, and looked around the room carefully.
My cousin has always been a good parent, and this room is even cleaner than the big dormitory for girls that Xu Manman lived in when she was a sent-down youth.
The bedding on the kang should have been folded up when getting up. Although it is not the kind of "tofu block", it is also very square.
When the door was closed, there was no strange smell in the room, and you could faintly smell the fragrance of soap.
There aren't many miscellaneous items in the room, but they are all neatly arranged, and you can tell that they are tidied regularly.
Xu Manman was amazed. Her cousin was so virtuous. She wondered which young lady would marry him in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Manman couldn't help but think of the girl she met before. Judging from her behavior at that time, she might have fallen in love with her cousin.
Smelling the taste of gossip, Xu Manman straightened her back instantly. How could she not eat the melon that was placed in front of her?
When Chen Ming pushed the door open with a basket of vegetables, he met his cousin's bright eyes. "Are you hungry? You can eat soon. I cook quickly."
Xu Manman was just about to catch the person involved and start eating the melon when she saw a small cloth bag in the vegetable basket out of the corner of her eye. Xu Manman frowned and saw her cousin pouring out white flour from the bag. Xu Manman couldn't help herself.
He put on his shoes and got off the kang. He ignored the dough he was adding water to and kneading the dough. He walked over and opened all the pottery jars, baskets, and bamboo baskets near the stove and looked through them. Not satisfied, he went back inside and opened the two wooden boxes on the kang.
"Are you thirsty? The cup is on the stove. There's boiled water in it. The cup is clean."
Xu Manman ignored her and continued with what she was doing.
Chen Ming thought she was not thirsty, so he did not stop her. Although rummaging around in someone else's room was very impolite, she was his cousin, whom he had spoiled since she was a child. Even if she removed the kang, it was right.
Xu Manman searched all the places in the house where things could be stored or hidden, then sat back on the kang without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold. Chen Ming was kneading the dough. Thinking of his cousin's behavior just now, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
