Chapter 170
Just after she finished eating, there was a knock on the door and she came out of the room, somewhat puzzled.
I opened the door and saw Wen Hua holding an aluminum lunch box outside. He said politely:
"Sister-in-law, after I went back that night, I thought about it and felt that I shouldn't have said such nonsense. I hope you don't mind."
She didn't mean to sow discord between them, but she just couldn't fully accept the fact for the time being.
"Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart."
Tang Wan waved her hands casually. After all, she remembered everything and she was afraid that she would be angry to death.
But Wenhua felt embarrassed, so she went back and thought about it carefully.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my behavior was too extreme.
"Sister-in-law, Deputy Colonel Lu saved me before. I regard you as my benefactors. It's wrong of me to say those things."
She handed the aluminum lunch box to Tang Wan and said, "I asked the cafeteria aunt to stew a fish for you."
"No, no, don't be so polite."
Tang Wan wanted to refuse, but Wen Hua was very persistent. She put down her aluminum lunch box and ran away.
She twitched her lips speechlessly, and Xu Cuiying stuck her head out from her courtyard.
"Sister Wanwan, just keep it if I give it to you. Who told her to say something inappropriate before?"
She was a little jealous of Tang Wan. After getting to know her for a while, she realized that this person liked to take advantage of others.
Tang Wan held the aluminum lunch box and smiled at Xu Cuiying, "I understand. Thank you, Sister Cuiying, for reminding me."
"Um."
Xu Cuiying stared at Tang Wan's aluminum lunch box with greed. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she felt that she was extremely greedy.
There was nothing to say in the end, and Zhang Hongyan came back with a basket.
"It's obviously getting colder today. Big sister, have you made clothes? Winters here are very cold."
"I'm not ready yet. From what you said, I think I need to do something."
Tang Wan thought for a moment and said to Zhang Hongyan, "Sister Hongyan, we have a sewing machine at home.
If you make clothes, come to my house and make them quickly."
Handwork cannot compare to sewing machines, which are faster.
Zhang Hongyan was naturally happy to hear that, and she nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll get some materials and come to your house to make it later.
It’s just that cotton is hard to buy, and cotton tickets are so hard to get this winter.”
"Really?"
Tang Wan's eyes lit up quietly. She thought that the cotton seeds she had sown at that time had already matured. It should be especially convenient to exchange them for things now, right?
Thinking of this, Tang Wan felt much better.
Xu Cuiying was a little envious when she saw this, "Sister Wanwan, can I come to your house to make clothes later?
I want to make some small clothes for my baby, but I don’t know when the baby will be born.”
"OK."
Tang Wan didn't reject her in the end. After all, their relationship was good before, and it would be bad to show it too obviously.
After Xu Cuiying returned to the house, Zhang Hongyan sighed and said, "It's true that you can't tell what kind of person this person is. You have to spend more time with him to know what kind of person he is."
"Yes."
Tang Wan didn't say much to Zhang Hongyan. She went back to the house and took a look inside the space. There wasn't much cotton.
She can probably make a few quilts and cotton-padded clothes with some processing, but she can forget about selling them.
But there is plenty for my family and my baby.
However, there are so many quilts in her space mall, she can find a way to use them.
Thinking of this, Tang Wan was very excited. She went to the workspace and sorted out a lot of quilts.
There were even some quilts that were looted earlier, some of which had been used by those people, and Tang Wan would never use them.
But she can sell it!
Tang Wan was very excited thinking about this, but it was getting late today and she was not in a hurry, so she packed up and went back.
She left the compound early the next morning, then disguised herself and went to the dark market.
The first time she went there, she carried a few second-hand quilts and packed them in a sack.
Although it is not winter yet, the weather has turned cooler and many people still want to buy quilts.
She sold this quilt for over a hundred yuan right after she took it out.
The ten-pound cotton quilt is a bit old, but many people like it.
What's more, Tang Wan still has an old military coat.
That was a good thing left by her grandfather, and Qin Tiezhu got it. What a wishful thinking.
After dealing with these, Tang Wan took out all the stuff from the enemies' homes.
Even though they were old clothes and furniture, they still sold well given the tight supply these days.
After spending nearly a whole morning in the dark market, Tang Wan had a good harvest and even bought some cotton.
There is a slight time difference between this space and the outside world. Although it is not very obvious, Tang Wan discovered that the wine seemed to have fermented completely before leaving in the morning.
She filled a water bag with water first, and then hurried to the recycling station.
The old man was shaking his head and snoring.
"Master."
"Why are you here?"
The eldest grandfather was indeed surprised, after all, Tang Wan came to town too often.
"The wine I told you about is ready."
Tang Wan handed the water bag to the boss and said, "Try it first to see if it tastes good.
If it’s good, I’ll give it some more time to ferment and give it to you.”
“Is it really wine?”
The eldest master's eyes were sparkling, and there was excitement in his cloudy eyes.
Looks like an alcoholic!
He opened the stopper of the water bag, took a sip, and then his eyes lit up.
"Girl, did you really brew this yourself?"
"Yes."
Tang Wan felt a little embarrassed, but not because she felt guilty, because it was really something she had made up.
It’s hard to say where the wine is brewed. Even Lu Huaijing doesn’t know.
So she lowered her voice and said, "Master, I indeed brewed it.
But you know the current situation, grapes are also very precious, I brewed it secretly.
No one in the compound knows about this, so don’t tell anyone.”
"Don't worry. I'm very strict with myself!"
The eldest master took another sip of wine with satisfaction, and couldn't help humming a tune. He looked so proud.
Tang Wan knew that he was very satisfied.
She said, "Master, since you like drinking so much, I will brew you a different flavor next time."
"Girl, don't force yourself. People's families are not well-off these days."
The eldest master didn't want to force Tang Wan. Although the gold brick was valuable, it was a pity that he couldn't exchange it for any food now.
He is an old man, and he doesn't know whether he can live to see the day when the golden brick sees the light of day.
That's why he is so uninterested in these things.
He thought Tang Wan was nice to him just because of these, and Tang Wan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Master, this is just something I can do easily. Don't worry, I'm not forcing myself."
She has a lot of fruits and vegetables in her space, and even if she doesn't make wine, they'll just be there.
Fortunately, things in the space will not go bad, and she can even make them into dried fruits.
Since the master likes it, Tang Wan will just do it.
She didn't stay long today. She really didn't want to encounter the same situation as last time, so she hurried back to the compound.
Half a month passed, the weather was getting colder and colder, and Tang Wan made two sets of cotton clothes under the guidance of Zhang Hongyan.
This way, she and Lu Huaijing don't have to worry about catching a cold in winter.
After she finished her work that day, the postman delivered a package to her. "Is this Lu Huaijing's family?"
"right."
Tang Wan looked at him puzzledly as he handed her a large package. "This is your package."
