Xu Manman said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've kept the one my uncle gave me. You just made this one based on its style. Look at the collar and buttons, aren't they different?"
Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, Xu Manman took out her own piece from the closet.
Chen Ming compared them and found that there was indeed a difference. His coat was obviously bigger, the fabric was solid, and he could feel that the cotton inside was very stuffed. He held the coat and his eyes felt a little hot.
Seeing that he was silent and obviously lost in thought, Xu Manman took out two small cotton-padded jackets from the closet. "Look, these are mine. They look good, don't they? I have learned how to make clothes from my aunt. From now on, I can make whatever clothes I want to wear myself."
Just close the loop of this white lie and you will have an excuse to make new clothes for your family in the future.
Chen Ming praised from the bottom of his heart, "It's really beautiful, and this coat is also very well made. Manman is really amazing."
Xu Manman accepted the compliment without any modesty. After all, she made all of it herself. She was just that amazing.
After the two of them finished talking, Xu Manman began to pack the things to be sent out.
She took out the grains that she had been given from the wooden box on the kang and packed them separately. These were all visible items, so it didn't matter if she sent a little more. There were four families in total, and Xu Manman packed almost 10 kilograms for each family.
Although there is not much left, she doesn't mind it, as there are plenty of them in the system backpack.
Because there are so many types, you can just wrap them with newspaper and oil paper together. Wrap them tightly in several layers so you don’t have to worry about them breaking or leaking.
Chen Ming helped and soon finished packing everything. He stuffed all the things into Chen Ming's backpack and the two of them prepared to go out.
Before going out, the two siblings had a small disagreement. Xu Manman wanted her cousin to change into a new sweater, which was originally given to him to keep him warm. What if he caught a cold if he only relied on the coat he was wearing?
Chen Ming rejected the proposal on the grounds of his strong physique, while the young man rejected it with a hot temper. Xu Manman didn't believe it. After some pushing and pulling, the two of them each took a step back and put the sweater in their bag so that they could put on more clothes at any time.
The two siblings still went to the commune happily. They still took their cousin for a tour of the commune first, signed in and punched in, then went shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative, sent things and received packages at the post office, and went to the state-owned restaurant to improve their lives.
But today, my cousin got his way and paid very quickly. Fortunately, she didn't have anything to buy today, so he didn't spend a lot of money.
After returning to the educated youth site, Chen Ming very consciously took his tools and went up the mountain to collect firewood. Xu Manman did not stop him, and the two went to the back mountain together. She did not take Chen Ming to the area where she went alone last time, although the harvest there would obviously be greater.
But that was obviously not a place a delicate little girl like her should go alone. She didn't want to scare her cousin. It was better to do adventures alone. After all, if she got rich, she would definitely have her cousin's meat to eat.
Xu Manman wanted to make something delicious for her cousin, so she came back early with two bundles of firewood.
She took out the big bones she bought today. It would take too long to stew the soup outside using the wood stove. Her cousin wouldn't be back for a while, so she threw the bones and meat directly into the space, put in the seasonings and side dishes, stewed the big bones and radishes into the soup, and used the meat to make Cantonese barbecued pork.
Then he prepared other dishes outside, a stir-fried eggplant and green beans, and a Qianlong cabbage with sesame paste. Finally, he brought out the prepared dishes in the space and arranged them on a plate. There were three dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables. Everything was ready!
After locking the door, she went to the back mountain to find her cousin and bring him back for dinner. When Xu Manman arrived, he was still struggling with a dead tree.
There are some rules for collecting firewood in the mountains. You can pick up dead branches on the ground or cut some branches, but you cannot affect the growth of the trees. At most, you can trim the trees. You cannot move the trunks of trees that are growing well.
Even if you want to cut down trees to repair a house or something, you need to report it in advance.
But dead trees like this can be cut down, but they are hard to come by. Xu Manman has been here for so long and has only encountered two, and they were only as thick as thighs. The one Chen Ming is dealing with now is as thick as a soup bowl.
When Xu Manman arrived, he had already chopped the firewood into sections. She stepped forward to bundle the firewood around and put the divided firewood into the backpack. By the time she finished her work, Chen Ming had also finished his work.
Each person carried two bundles of firewood. Chen Ming's bundle was as heavy as Xu Manman's two bundles. He also carried a backpack full of firewood on his back. Fortunately, he bought meat today, otherwise he could not make up for the effort his cousin put in today.
Chen Ming highly praised all the dishes, especially the Cantonese barbecued pork. Shanghainese people tend to prefer sweet taste, and it is a rare meat dish, so this delicacy is really hard to refuse.
