Chapter 183 Her Birthday
The weather is getting colder. It would be much more comfortable if I had a washing machine to wash clothes.
Especially Xiao Shitou's diapers, there was a huge pile of them every day, and Xu Zhaodi had to spend half a day just washing the diapers.
If we can use a washing machine, it will save a lot of time and effort.
Having made up her mind, Su Xiaoxiao decisively placed an order for a ten-kilogram semi-automatic washing machine.
Most of the washing machines nowadays are fully automatic, and the price of this semi-automatic washing machine is also very cheap.
Su Xiaoxiao specifically chose the delivery time at 6:30 in the evening, just when her family had finished dinner.
After setting the delivery time, there was a knock on the door.
I guess it’s time for Grandma Liu to come and pick up the sewing machine.
There was nothing to buy today, just Grandma Liu's sewing machine, which she had packed in a sack in advance.
Hearing the sound, I hurried out and saw Grandma Liu walking in with her small feet.
Grandma Liu had bound feet when she was young. Her feet were the standard three-inch golden lotus, and her body swayed when she walked.
Every time Su Xiaoxiao saw the old lady, she was afraid that she would fall.
She hurried forward to support the person: "Grandma Liu, I brought back the sewing machine you wanted."
After entering the house, Su Xiaoxiao dragged out the sack in the corner, and grunted as she dragged out the cardboard box containing the sewing machine from the sack.
Grandma Liu looked at the cardboard box that only reached above her knees and was a little skeptical: "Xiaoxiao, why is this sewing machine so small?"
"Grandma Liu, don't underestimate it because it's small. It has powerful functions."
As she spoke, she quickly opened the box and carefully took out the sewing machine to show her.
"Look, this sewing machine can be used just by placing it on the table and plugging it in. Let me show you how."
Grandma Liu looked at the sewing machine, which was a size smaller than a normal one, and felt unsure: "This sewing machine is so small, can it really work?"
This sewing machine is a popular small household sewing machine. It is not only powerful but also very space-saving.
It's just a bit ahead of its time.
Su Xiaoxiao moved the sewing machine to the table, plugged it in, reached into her bag and took out two pieces of floral cloth, dragged a stool and sat down in front of the sewing machine to demonstrate to Grandma Liu.
I saw her skillfully sewing a circle of lace and threading a rubber band inside it. In a short while, a beautiful headband was made.
Grandma Liu was amazed. "I didn't expect this little sewing machine to work so smoothly. Thank you so much, Xiaoxiao."
"It's not a problem. We're all neighbors. If you have any problems with the sewing machine in the back, you can always come to me."
She helped Grandma Liu reassemble the sewing machine and said with a smile.
Grandma Liu took out some money and stuffed it into her hand. When Su Xiaoxiao counted it, she found that there was five yuan left.
He hurriedly wanted to return the money, but was stopped by Grandma Liu: "You should take this money. I can't let you work in vain. You brought it all the way back for me. When my grandson gets married, I will definitely go to have a drink at the wedding."
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed because she was already getting rebates for this thing.
Seeing that Grandma Liu wanted to move the sewing machine by herself, he hurriedly rushed into the house and said, "Fourth and fifth sons, help Grandma Liu take the sewing machine home."
"Oh, I'm really sorry to bother you."
Grandma Liu felt even more embarrassed. Xiaoxiao not only helped her buy a sewing machine that didn't require a ticket, but also helped her deliver it home. This child is really kind-hearted.
The two men carried the sewing machine away, and Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly put the money into the house.
She has a small box specifically for storing money, and she puts most of the money she earns in it.
Just as I put it down, Xu Zhaodi's voice came from outside the door: "Xiaoxiao, it's time for dinner."
Su Xiaoxiao quickly responded, opened the door and went out.
As soon as I opened the door, the fragrance wafted over.
Smelling the aroma of meat in the air, Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. It was the smell of braised pork, which was so fragrant.
Why is her mother so generous today and willing to cook meat?
"It smells so good, what delicious food did you make?"
Grandma Liu lived not far away, just across an alley from them.
As soon as the two little brothers entered the door, they smelled the fragrance in the air and took a deep breath.
Su Xiaoxiao hurried to the kitchen and took out a pair of chopsticks.
Liu Cuilan went outside and picked a handful of crispy green onions and put them on the table.
The white scallions and the emerald green leaves are so tender that they seem like they can be squeezed to produce water.
Su Xiaoxiao picked up one, shook off the water on it, and asked curiously: "Mom, why is the food so delicious today? Did our family get rich?"
In the middle of the table stood a large pot of tempting braised pork and potatoes. In the basket were not the usual steamed bread mixed with coarse grains, but large steamed buns made of second-grade flour. Although not as fine as first-grade flour, it was also a rare fine grain that was rarely eaten.
In addition to these two items, there was also a plate of fried green beans, which also contained a few slices of greasy bacon, which looked very tempting.
In addition, there is a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The golden eggs are wrapped in tomato sauce. Although there are fewer eggs and more tomatoes, it looks quite appetizing.
Su Xiaoxiao swallowed uncontrollably. The food was almost as good as during the Chinese New Year.
"Today is your birthday, did you forget?"
Liu Cuilan went to the kitchen again and brought out a bowl of steaming noodles, placing it in front of Su Xiaoxiao. "This is all yours."
Inside was a bowl full of white noodles with a poached egg on top. Green onion leaves were floating in the noodle soup, and the aroma was fragrant.
Su Xiaoxiao had forgotten that today was the original owner's birthday and also her own birthday.
The fact that they both have the same birthday can be considered a kind of fate.
"Xiaoxiao, I don't have anything nice to give you. These are the gloves I knitted for you. It's cold out, so wear them to keep you warm when you ride your bike in the morning."
Xu Zhaodi handed her a pair of red woolen gloves. The gloves had dense stitches and specially woven patterns on the back of the hand. It was obvious that they were made with great care.
She quickly wiped her hands on herself and took it: "Thank you, Sister Zhaodi."
Liu Cuilan directly took out ten yuan from her pocket and gave it to her: "I don't know what you girls like. Take this and buy whatever you like."
The two younger brothers also hurriedly took out the gifts they had prepared. The fourth one made a wooden sculpture of a cute little girl.
The fifth one is more abstract, a lump of mud... a man with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and it is impossible to tell what he looks like.
Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. Lao Wu was a talent to be able to make something so ugly.
Liu Cuilan said, "Your elder and second brothers will be back tomorrow and they said they brought you a gift too."
Thinking of the gifts her two brothers gave her last time, Su Xiaoxiao felt a sudden heart attack. If it was a gift of the same style as last time, it would be more practical for them to give money.
"Okay, let's eat."
Liu Cuilan was the first to pick up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork for Su Xiaoxiao and put it in the bowl.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the smiling faces on the table, then looked down at the bowl of noodles in her hand.
The misty heat blurred her vision, and her eyes suddenly felt a little hot.
Taking a deep breath, she picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, squinting her eyes happily.
