The eldest girl is sixteen years old, the second girl is fourteen years old, the third girl is twelve years old, the fourth girl is ten years old, the fifth girl is eight years old, the sixth girl is five years old, and the seventh girl is three years old.
The eldest girl is almost as tall as Song Qingyun, 160cm tall. The second and third girls are about 150cm tall. The fourth girl is about 110cm tall. The fifth, sixth and seventh girls are all still young.
The eldest girl asked the second and third girls to help hang up the clothes, and she went into the house to find Song Qingyun.
"Mom, what are you doing? Can I help you?" asked the big girl.
"I'm altering clothes. Many of the clothes your father exchanged for me fit me perfectly. I'll alter them to be a little tighter so you can wear them." Song Qingyun said.
"Me, me?" The girl didn't expect there would be a surprise...
"Well, not only you, but all the sisters have it." Song Qingyun said dotingly. In her heart, she felt that the person she owed the most was the big girl. Looking at the light in the big girl's eyes, Song Qingyun's nose felt a little sour.
"Mom, it's so great. From yesterday to today, I felt like I was dreaming." The big girl's voice was a little choked.
Song Qingyun put down the needlework in her hand and gently hugged the girl. "It's not a dream, it's a life like a dream."
The big girl calmed down and said, "Mom, what you say now is very nice."
Song Qingyun smiled. She later went to night school and was considered an educated person.
"You will be able to do it in the future."
"I'll help you." The big girl took off her shoes and got on the kang. She also took the needle and thread and helped Song Qingyun to alter clothes.
Erniu and the others came to find Song Qingyun after hanging up the clothes.
Among the children, Erniu can do needlework, but Sanniu and Siniu can't.
Song Qingyun asked them to pack their clothes and go help Xia Weian.
The children responded happily and ran away.
Song Qingyun worked quickly and soon finished altering the clothes for the girl. Their family didn't have a sewing machine, but if they had one, she could do it even faster.
"Big girl, try it on." Song Qingyun handed the clothes to the big girl. It was a white shirt, a little old, but without any patches.
The girl happily took it and said, "Thank you, Mom."
Song Qingyun smiled encouragingly, and the girl turned her back and quickly changed her clothes.
"It's just right, but too plain." Song Qingyun said.
"It's not plain anymore, mom. It looks good. I've never worn such beautiful clothes." The big girl tugged at the corner of her clothes carefully.
"Just wear it if you like it," said Song Qingyun.
"This, Mom, is not an important day, I still..." The big girl wanted to take it off, but was reluctant.
"Dress up. Dress neatly and beautifully." Song Qingyun patted the girl's shoulder.
Erniu's eyes were full of envy.
"Don't worry, Erniu, you have it too." Song Qingyun said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mom!" Erniu called out crisply.
Among the sisters of the Song family, Erniu is the bravest. In her previous life, Erniu changed after her eldest sister was sold. She knew that her parents could not protect her, so she made an appointment with the sisters in the village to run away from home.
As a result, she was framed by the girl and was dragged into the cornfield by the girl's gangster brother as soon as she left the village.
Erniu's health was damaged and she had to marry that gangster.
At first they coaxed her, but when they saw that she stopped running away, they started to treat her as a non-human being. In the end, Erniu burned to death the friend who deceived her, the man who harmed her, and the parents-in-law who tortured her.
She also died in the fire.
Song Qingyun looked at the lively Erniu, and his eyes became hot...
"Mom, you keep telling me to look, is there anything on my face?" Erniu reached out and shook Song Qingyun's arm.
Song Qingyun came back to her senses from her memories. She must protect her daughters in this life.
"No, Mom was just thinking about going to the county this afternoon."
"Are you going with Dad?" Erniu asked, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.
"Let's go. Your father and I will take you seven sisters with us." Song Qingyun said.
"Really?" Erniu almost jumped up with excitement.
"Erniu, work faster, let's try to wear new clothes." Da Niu said in a low voice. She was happy in her heart, so happy that it was hard to describe.
"Um!"
The two sisters, one altered clothes for Sanniu and the other altered clothes for Siniu.
Song Qingyun was the best at sewing. After she finished revising Erniu's clothes, she went on to revise Wuniu's.
It is easier to modify the ones for older children, just make them smaller.
It is more troublesome for the fifth, sixth and seventh graders, as their clothes need to be tailored.
Niang San was busy until almost eleven o'clock. After Song Qingyun finished cutting the clothes, she asked the eldest and second daughters to sew them. She got up and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
The front yard has been cleaned up, and Xia Weian has turned over the part that can be used for farming.
The weeds in the backyard have been cleared and the soil has been turned over, but the ridges have not yet been made.
Xia Weian planned to discuss with Song Qingyun what to plant and then divide the land into areas and make ridges.
"Weian, go wash up and rest for a while. I'll prepare dinner and then we'll go to the county." Song Qingyun said.
"I borrowed an ox cart from the brigade." Xia Weian said.
"When did you go?" Song Qingyun asked in surprise.
"When you were working in the house, I said I wanted to go to the county to buy something and gave the team leader fifty cents, and the team leader agreed. The ox cart was tied outside the yard gate." Xia Weian said.
"That's great. It saves us from walking." Song Qingyun responded with a smile.
"Yeah, I'll go wash up. The kids are also covered in dirt. I'll let them wash up too."
"Okay. Sanniu and Siniu, take your sisters to wash in the front yard. Mommy will go boil water." Song Qingyun shouted to the children.
"No need to boil water, Mom, we just dried the water." Sanniu came forward and said.
"Okay, after you're done washing, call your dad back from the backyard." Song Qingyun instructed.
"Okay." Sanniu closed the door and started taking a bath with her sisters.
Song Qingyun was busy in the kitchen. At noon, she made hand-rolled noodles and made a sauce with the remaining eggs.
A big bowl for each person.
The little girls who had washed themselves outside were called directly into the room by the big girl, and each of them put on their own little shirts.
Everyone was happy and smiling.
It’s happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Every Chinese New Year, they can eat a plate of vegetables fried with animal oil. This is their New Year treatment and the only day when they don’t have to work or get scolded.
In the past, they felt that day was the happiest.
Since leaving the old house, it seems that there is no happiest moment, only happier moments.
Song Qingyun invited the children to eat.
After eating and drinking, Song Qingyun asked the eldest, second, third and fourth girls to each carry a backpack, and took the fifth, sixth and seventh girls to get on the ox cart first.
Song Qingyun and Xia Weian came out last.
Song Qingyun gave Xia Weian 20 kilograms of rice and flour each. She had prepared them in small packages for him in advance, each weighing 5 kilograms.
Eight small bags were placed in a backpack and covered with a coat.
Convenient for black market transactions.
Song Qingyun also carried a backpack, and the couple got on the carriage.
Xia Weian drove the car and the family rushed towards the county town.
First stop, the county post office...
