Maybe it was because she stayed at home all day eating and sleeping, and only made clothes when she woke up, but didn't do much exercise, but Tian Yuzhu found that she seemed to have gained some weight.
She looked at her tight waistband in frustration and looked at her stomach left and right in the mirror.
"I'm not fat. It's too early to be fat." Su Zhen brought her some hot water and comforted her when she saw her looking in the mirror: "Besides, you're so thin, it would be better if you gained some weight."
"No, sister-in-law, you will look ugly if you are fat." Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, and Tian Yuzhu's mood was a little up and down. She felt indescribably irritated.
Su Zhennuan smiled and stood in front of her, looking at her again and again: "You have such a beautiful face. You look good whether you are fat or thin. There is no one more beautiful than you in our area."
"Sister-in-law, you're praising me again." Tian Yuzhu said with a smile, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, sooner or later our village's tea garden will be contracted out. Remember, when the time comes, don't hesitate, just take it over."
"Contracting a tea garden? Oh Yuzhu, do you know how big the tea garden in our village is?"
That’s quite a few hills. Su Zhen didn’t even dare to think about it, let alone in this life, she didn’t even dare to think about it in the next life.
"I know, sister-in-law, just listen to me on this matter."
The mountains and fields of Quanshui Village are very fertile, but because the tea gardens have also implemented a large collective labor system in recent years, many tea trees have been neglected, the amount of tea produced has been decreasing, and some tea trees have even died.
Under such circumstances, the government will definitely be unable to make ends meet, and the route will have to be contracted out in the end.
By then, as long as Su Zhen and the others take over and take good care of it, and Shi Weimin likes farming, the tea garden will surely be transformed in his hands.
Once the output of tea starts to increase, you won’t have to worry about making and selling tea anymore.
Although Su Zhen sounded a little terrified, she still nodded. "Then I'll ask your eldest brother to keep an eye on it. If the village really has such a policy, we'll call you then."
"Yeah, okay."
Although the two are sisters-in-law, they are as close as real sisters.
"Sister Yuzhu, Sister Yuzhu."
Zhao Xiaoman's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.
Su Zhen asked Tian Yuzhu to slow down, and she turned around and went out to open the door.
After a while, Zhao Xiaoman came into the house, chattering.
Seeing her happy face, Tian Yuzhu thought it was the sewing machine that had arrived. But before she could even ask, Zhao Xiaoman came up to her and enthusiastically took her hand, "Sister, do I have good news for you?"
"What? Sit down!" Tian Yuzhu pointed to the kang.
Zhao Xiaoman looked very excited. "Just now, the county public security bureau called the village party secretary. I happened to be going to the office to get a form when I heard it. It turns out that Lu Juanjuan is really a problem. Now the public security bureau has arrested her!"
"So, she really killed the child?" Su Zhen was so scared that her hair stood on end. That woman was so scary.
All this was within Tian Yuzhu's expectations. If Lu Juanjuan was released, there was only one possibility: the police failed to handle the case effectively. Otherwise, she knew that Shi Xiaoli was not lying.
Zhao Xiaoman just nodded in response to Su Zhen's question: "That Lu guy is such a jerk that he even killed a child. She deserves to be arrested now.
Sister, I came here to tell you the good news, and I have something to give you."
A piece of paper was handed to her. Tian Yuzhu asked in surprise, "Xiao Man, what is this?"
"This is my home address and the phone number of the newsstand in our neighborhood. If you need to talk to me, just call me. We can just schedule a time to talk." Zhao Xiaoman smoothed her hair. "Aren't you going back to the army? I'm worried we'll lose contact in the future because I'll be leaving in two weeks too!"
"Going back to the capital?"
"Well, I have to go back sooner or later. My family has arranged a job for me to go back now."
"This is good news. I'm happy for you." Tian Yuzhu was genuinely happy for her. She also knew that the educated youth would begin to return to the city in batches, and with the start of the household distribution system, the reform would continue to develop.
After thinking about it, Tian Yuzhu also gave Zhao Xiaoman the army's mailing address.
The other party explained clearly: "Don't worry about the fifty pieces of clothing sent to my uncle. As long as the address is correct, there will be no mistakes. Also, the sewing machine will definitely arrive before I leave. Then I will teach Sister Su Zhen how to use it."
Su Zhen and the old lady were surprised to hear that there was a sewing machine.
They had never heard Tian Yuzhu say she wanted to buy that thing before. Seeing their expressions, Tian Yuzhu quickly explained: "If my sister-in-law learns to use a sewing machine, she can make several pieces of clothing a day.
I was afraid you'd be nervous about buying the machine, so I kept it to myself. Now you don't have to be afraid anymore. Just do it at home. No one outside has the right to tell you what to do."
"But I... can I learn it, Yuzhu?" Su Zhen suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
She even learned needlework on the job, so there was no way she could operate something as fancy as a sewing machine.
Zhao Buman smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will teach you before I return to the city."
Tian Yuzhu also comforted her: "Sister-in-law, you are so smart, there is nothing you can't learn, don't always think that you are not good enough."
Then the old lady came up with a sentence: "Yes, it's a lifelong learning experience. I want to learn something too."
"Okay, okay, leave it to me." Zhao Xiaoman promised cheerfully, "I will definitely teach you all."
"Xiao Man, come home for dinner tonight!"
It has to be said that Su Zhen is the one who understands the ways of the world the best, and she plans to thank Zhao Xiaoman very much.
The other party was a little foodie, so how could he not agree? He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Thank you for troubling me, sister-in-law."
After finishing the conversation, he was busy going back to the educated youth site to work, but he came back after just a short while.
He also brought with him several female educated youth from the Second Commune.
They all came today to ask Tian Yuzhu to help make clothes after seeing the clothes of Zhao Xiaoman's two classmates.
As long as there is business, we have to take it. Even if we add the fifty pieces to be sent to Beijing, we definitely don’t have enough manpower, so we have to wait a little longer.
After explaining the current predicament, the female educated youth still decided to do it.
Tian Yuzhu immediately measured their sizes.
After all this busy work, I received ten more orders and collected deposits from ten people.
After Zhao Xiaoman and the other female educated youth left, Su Zhen jumped for joy like a child. "I didn't expect more and more people would recognize us. That's great."
"Hey, Yuzhu, why are you unhappy?" She suddenly noticed that the girl's brows were furrowed.
Tian Yuzhu sighed: "Sister-in-law, of course I'm happy to have business, but you and grandma have worked hard. Another problem is, after I return to the army, if you get business again, what will you do about the fabric?"
It was only now that she thought of this question. She had never taught Su Zhen what kind of clothes to wear and what kind of fabric to use.
And it cannot be taught without real objects.
It is also very unrealistic to send cloth back to Quanshui Village from the military region.
