The young wife's words aroused the interest of many people, and they urged the lady in the green headscarf to open the package.
The lady in the green headscarf also wanted to give the men who had just spoken a slap in the face.
He raised his chin and opened the package in no time.
The crowd immediately exclaimed: "Oh, look at this suit. When Captain Lu and his men went to the county town for a meeting, they wore this kind of Zhongshan suit, right?"
"It seems so. Is this the bag of old clothes that Lu Zhiye mentioned?
My goodness, there isn’t even a patch on it. For us, the new clothes we wear during the Chinese New Year are just like this.”
The lady in the green headscarf was holding a men's Zhongshan suit. Da Niu's father, who was sitting on the other side playing cards, heard that there was his clothes, so he raised his butt and ran over here.
"Let me see, let me see what it looks like?"
He pushed the crowd aside, and when he saw clearly the clothes in the green-headed lady's hand, his old face flushed with excitement.
"Oh my goodness, is this for me?"
The green-turbaned lady looked at his useless appearance and rolled her eyes: “It’s for you, it’s for you.
But Xiao Lu also said that these were clothes that his father-in-law couldn't wear anymore and were discarded.
It depends on whether you dislike it or not......."
The lady with the green headscarf raised her voice deliberately, and her words were meant for the men to hear.
Even if the clothes are discarded by others, the villagers are usually reluctant to buy them.
Da Niu's father slapped his thigh happily and said, "How could I dislike it? Oh, this dress is so good, I'll try it on now?"
As he spoke, he took off his tattered cotton jacket, revealing a thin coat full of patches underneath.
These days, as the Chinese New Year approaches, at most one person in a family can make a new set of clothes, and this is something only people who live a good life can enjoy.
Ordinary people would at most make one for the favored child in the family.
Some people who favor boys over girls will pass the eldest child's clothes to the second child, and that will be considered new clothes.
Everyone wants to save face, so they wear junk inside since no one sees it anyway.
So, when Da Niu took off his clothes, no one cared.
The lady in the green headscarf said speechlessly: "It's so cold today, aren't you cold wearing this kind of clothes?"
The excitement made Da Niu's father not feel cold. He quickly put on his clothes, stretched out his hands, and turned back and forth several times: "Why am I cold? I'm not cold at all. My heart is warm now.
Take a look at it, does it fit you?"
The lady with the green headscarf said in surprise: "Hey, you're right, it looks so neat when you put it on.
I thought I would have to revise it for you......"
This made Da Niu's father so happy that the men who had been gossiping just now were so jealous that their eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.
Even Captain Lu and Secretary He felt a little jealous. These clothes were better than the ones they had specially made at a tailor shop when they went to the county town for a meeting.
A man bared his yellow teeth and reached out to touch it. Da Niu's father was like he was facing a great enemy and slapped his hand: "Don't make it dirty!"
As he spoke, Da Niu's father stuffed the tattered cotton jacket into the arms of the lady in the green headscarf, and then he walked around in that coat, with his shoulders spread out and his head raised.
The big cow's mother stretched out her hand to hand over the cotton jacket: "Oh, you will catch a cold, put it on quickly!"
"I'm not cold at all, just leave it alone!"
After saying this, Da Niu's father went around showing off.
Now no one would say anything about how the green-headed lady and her family licked Lu Zhiye.
Even if you give them a new set of clothes, they are willing to lick it!
The envy in the women's eyes seemed real.
Someone reached out to touch other clothes and saw some doll clothes inside. A woman hurriedly said, "Mother Daniu, look at these doll clothes. They were probably given by neighbors.
The three kids in your family are all old, and Danniu is big and strong, so they definitely can’t wear these.
This outfit is quite suitable for our Dazhu!"
As the woman spoke, she pulled the clothes into her arms and stretched her neck to look inside.
The green-turbaned lady quickly snatched the clothes away and said, "Mrs. Dazhu, it's funny what you said.
My adult cow can’t wear it, but my calf can. Besides, this clothing is not differentiated by gender.
After some modification, it can be worn by my daughter! "
Seeing the ferocious looks around her, the lady in the green headscarf no longer cared to show off and immediately tied up the big package.
He hung it on his shoulder and left quickly.
Leaving everyone alone whispering.
When Lu Zhiye returned home, the entire yard was cleaned thoroughly.
Yan Wenqing was already waiting at the door, holding Niuniu in his arms and talking to Wen Sihe with red eyes.
Old Mrs. Fang was sitting on a stool nearby, watching the scene happily.
Recently, her legs and feet have become more and more unsteady, and she can't even stand for long.
Niu Niu was closer to Old Lady Fang. After kissing her own grandmother, she gathered in front of Old Lady Fang, calling her "grandma" all the time.
This made Old Mrs. Fang smile, and she reached out and touched the child's head again and again.
Yan Wenqing wiped away her tears, looked at her son who had matured a little more, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Everything is going well in Beijing?"
"Fortunately, everything went smoothly. With the help of Teacher Zhong, my academic progress was very good."
"That's good, that's good!"
Noticing that the couple had set their eyes on the clean yard, Yan Wenqing smiled and explained, “In recent days, Daniu’s mother has been coming to help.
After all, he doesn't know about our relationship, and she is busy making arrangements, so it's not easy for me to interfere.
Unexpectedly, she brought a lot of firewood for the winter.
You must thank them when you look back!"
Wen Sihe scraped the mud off her feet with a sickle and said gently, “Xiao Ye went out just now to deliver something to the green-headed lady.
The neighbors in Beijing are all very nice. My parents also have some old clothes and some dolls' clothes that we gave to them."
Yan Wenqing responded with a smile, but she actually knew the whole story.
These days, every family is not wealthy, and many of the children’s clothes are altered from adults’ clothes.
Is there any saying that if something is too small, you should give it away?
Unless you are close brothers with whom you have a very good relationship, giving them a set of clothes would be a big deal.
Even in Beijing, when An An was a child, he wore old clothes that were altered from adults'.
Lu Zhiye stretched himself, took a deep breath, and said, "It's still more comfortable at home. No wonder people say that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse."
Niuniu, who was standing by, looked at her father curiously: "Dad, do you live in a doghouse?"
Lu Zhiye:.............
Wen Sihe burst out laughing. The laughter of the adults in the yard left Niu Niu confused.
He murmured in confusion, "Why does Dad live in a doghouse?"
