A group of people staggered into the county town and went straight to the county supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Guihua took out the cloth coupons she had saved for a long time from her pocket and bought a set of red ready-made clothes, and also bought a set of men's ready-made clothes for Niu Liye.
This operation cost me nearly twenty dollars.
Wu Yu couldn't help but joked: "Sister Guihua usually buys her own cloth to make it, why are you so generous today?"
Before Li Guihua could answer, the saleswoman who was carrying the goods for her said with a smile: "It seems that this girl is planning to get married.
This is the only important moment in your life, so of course you have to dress decently.
Our supply and marketing cooperative has purchased this batch of ready-made clothes, and the sales are booming.
You mean this style? We can’t make it ourselves, right? "
The person who was speaking was not someone else but He Hongmei. She was a straightforward person and her words could touch people's hearts.
For a moment, several other young men who were looking at the fabrics came over.
She left the ready-made clothing area to another girl and walked towards Wen Sihe.
"Big sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? When will you bring the two boys to our house to play?"
Wen Sihe smiled and took out a handful of chestnuts and handed them to He Hongmei: "Look at what Sister He said, you are still thinking about those two naughty boys, I am more than happy to have you.
I went home to visit my relatives some time ago, and I've been busy until now.
There happens to be a little girl from my relative's family at home. Give me some of that red plaid cloth so I can make two sets of clothes for her."
He Hongmei felt reassured by Wen Sihe's words, and she swiftly went to get a ruler from under the counter.
"How many feet?"
“For winter clothes, make them bigger, maybe ten feet.
If there is more, I will sew a small shoulder bag for the little girl."
"Oh, you are so skillful. I can't do that. A few days ago, I sewed a school bag for my son. He carried it to school. When he came back in the evening, hey, guess what?
There was a big hole at the bottom, and all the books and stuff were exposed, which really pissed off my son."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and the people around her could hear it clearly, and they all started laughing.
An auntie quietly replied, "This schoolbag not only needs to be sewn with three layers inside and three layers outside, but also a layer of starched cloth needs to be placed at the bottom, just like when we make insoles.
It has to hold on so it doesn’t fall.”
He Hongmei suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Thank you so much, auntie."
While everyone was chatting and laughing, a person walked in from the door. It was none other than Anping.
She nodded imperceptibly at Wen Sihe, walked straight to the cotton counter, and asked for ten kilograms of cotton and twenty feet of cloth.
By the time a few people were walking back with their bags, it was almost noon.
Many aunts were already sitting on the ox cart waiting, and saw that Li Guihua had a full basket of things.
He said in surprise: "Hey, Li Zhiqing, why did you suddenly buy so much cloth?"
As she spoke, she was about to reach out to search Li Guihua's backpack.
Li Guihua slapped him away: "I wanted to have a quilt cover, so I bought some more."
"I really envy you educated youths. Your families send us coupons every year, unlike us. Last time I went to the educated youth camp, I wanted to exchange some cloth coupons with you.
He begged and pleaded, but in the end he still couldn't get a meter of cloth coupon. Tsk tsk tsk, in a blink of an eye, Li Zhiqing bought so many meters of cloth. "
My aunt's tone was full of jealousy and ill intentions.
Wu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "That's ridiculous. Li Zhiqing has been saving these cloth coupons for a long time.
I've been looking for someone and begging for an exchange. Why should I give it to you just because you ask for it?
I can't bear to exchange my food coupons for them, but I come back to criticize the educated youth. It's really laughable."
The aunt's thoughts were revealed by Wu Yu. Her old face turned red and she was too angry to say anything.
After this incident, no one else on the ox cart dared to find fault anymore.
Wu Yu raised his voice deliberately and said to Wen Sihe beside him: "Some people think that we educated youth are easy to talk to.
There are many people in the village working in the cannery. They are given various tickets every month, but why don’t they rush to exchange their goods for the tickets?
I took our educated youth and pulled them out hard. Next time, I will stand at the entrance of the educated youth camp with a broom to see who is so shameless. "
Wen Sihe didn't expect that after she went out, Wu Yu, who was always gentle to others, suddenly changed his appearance, making her almost unrecognizable.
Seeing that everyone was present, Master Lu waved his whip and shouted loudly: "Hold on tight, let's go......"
In the afternoon, Li Guihua knocked on Wen Sihe's door.
She seemed to see Wen Sihe's confusion, put down the basket in her hand, and said while sewing the soles of shoes: "Since Fang Zhiqing left, many people also know that he and Wu Zhiqing broke up.
Some people set their sights on Wu Yu. You know, some people in the village speak unpleasant words.
Only if Wu Yu becomes more aggressive herself, others will not dare to look down on her. "
A trace of heartache flashed in Wen Sihe's eyes. Ever since she went to the countryside, she had a better relationship with Wu Yu.
Wen Sihe felt very uncomfortable when she thought that she not only had to endure the sadness of separation from Fang Shijie, but also had to endure these rumors.
Wen Sihe picked up the red plaid cloth in the backpack, made two sets of clothes for Yueyue, and sewed a small cloth bag.
The two little ones were taken away by Yan Wenqing, and she felt relieved.
Time passed quickly, and it was April in a blink of an eye. The river behind had begun to thaw, and the villagers were gearing up for spring ploughing.
Wen Sihe packed up Yueyue's things, reluctant to look at the child in front of her.
During this period of time, they have already gotten used to Yueyue's presence, especially Xiaoan.
Normally he liked to run behind Yueyue, but when he learned that she was leaving, he burst into tears and hugged Yueyue's thighs, not letting her move at all.
Yan Wenqing had no choice but to put the child in his arms into the wooden cart and reached out to pull Xiao An's arm.
The two little kids seemed to understand something and started crying loudly.
Yueyue was wearing the clothes that Wen Sihe made for her, and her pockets were filled with gifts given to her by her friends.
He looked at the people in the yard reluctantly and began to cry.
There was some chaos in the huge yard for a while.
Lu Zhiye glared at the little wolfhound barking wildly in the corner: What time is it, and you still come to join in the fun!
The dog was startled by his eyes. It whimpered a few times, then licked its paws silently and lay down.
The car had driven a long way away, but Xiao An was still standing at the gate wiping her tears.
She looked at Yan Wenqing with tearful eyes: "Sister Yueyue, are you coming back?"
Yan Wenqing rubbed his head helplessly: "Come back, I will definitely come back."
Xiao An was immersed in grief and didn't notice the perfunctory tone of his mother's words at all.
