In fact, if there are two solid colors contrasting in a large area, it is also good.

But now you can take off this rose-red collar.

This kind of eye-catching color is not suitable for wearing at home.

After all, most military wives have nothing to do, and when they are idle, their evil intentions will come out.

Since arriving on the island, Xu Sui basically never makes pants for herself. Her fabrics are usually used to make skirts or tops.

Because there were too many restrictions on women's clothing in this era, they had to have side slits, a deep crotch, and the legs couldn't be too narrow. Although Xu Sui had made her previous pants a little narrower, they were still too loose. If they were too tight, people would think she was coquettish.

Xu Sui knew that being unique or being independent would not work because of the general environment. Even though she felt that suitable pants were much more convenient than skirts, she had to do so in order to make herself more comfortable.

She asked Du Rantong to remove the collar, pinch out pleats, make flower patterns, and cut them onto Du Rantong's bag.

The original skirt was replaced with a white collar, and she was taught to embroider patterns on it.

Xu Sui thought it would look better if she added a thin leather belt around her waist, but even if she didn't have one, this look would still look a bit awkward.

Du Rantong was very satisfied with the transformation of her skirt. She glanced at Tan Hongmei beside her, but did not take out the money. Instead, she went home and brought back a can of fruit and put it in Xu Sui's living room.

After she left, Tan Hongmei spoke up, "Comrade Xiao Xu, this sewing machine is really useful. Just step on it and it's done. No wonder everyone wants this thing."

Her three children, both big and small, were all at the age when fabrics were wasted. The older one grew too fast, and the younger one made noises outside every day, so a pair of pants would be worn out in a few days.

Tan Hongmei had to mend clothes every day. Sometimes her children would complain if she had too many patches. After all, they were the commander's children and it was an honor to mend clothes, but too many patches would not look good.

She was so reluctant that she even tore off some cloth to make new clothes for them, and tore up her own clothes to use as theirs.

Tan Hongmei did not shy away from talking about her family's affairs. "Before, when my brother-in-law got married, the girl insisted on having a sewing machine. We are all from the countryside, so we don't care about that. But there was nothing we could do even though she kept asking for it. I thought at the time, I have seen this sewing machine in the mall, and I don't know what's so special about it. Why are so many people rushing to buy it?"

"It's so convenient. It's just a snap. But it's too expensive. When Wang Zong gets married, I'll talk to Lao Ji and have another one for the family."

For her, there is no need to spend money to buy things that she can do by herself. Her own labor is no match for those few hundred dollars.

After two months of getting along with each other, Xu Sui almost understood Tan Hongmei's situation.

Commander Ji's salary is really not low. Even if he is the only one supporting the family, the two adults and three children can live a good life.

But he has to remit money to his hometown every month. The family has built a new house with him, and he has to help his brothers from time to time. Not only that, he also has to use part of his salary to remit money to the widows or children of martyrs he is familiar with. .

Tan Hongmei has no objection to any of this. As a traditional woman, she will definitely take care of her relatives when her life is good, and she has been used to saving since she was a child. What's more, the remaining money was handed over to her by Commander Ji. She A sum will be saved every month, and the remaining money will be spent on expenses.

Xu Sui said: "Sister-in-law, why don't you bring the clothes you need to mend and I'll mend them for you."

It would only take a little time and thread, and she certainly wouldn't have to pay for the fabric.

"Yes, OK." Tan Hongmei stood up happily, and soon brought over two baskets, one of which contained clothes to be mended, and the other contained a full basket of vegetables.

She didn't ask about the basket of vegetables and directly put it in Xu Sui's kitchen. They were all picked by her from the grass. There were bracken, magnolia sprouts, and water spinach. She had only picked a few leaves from the grass, so they were fresh and juicy.

She also saw that this Xiao Xu was a well-educated person who just didn't know how to live, but he was better than Shi Hong's wife. Besides, as a teacher, she shouldn't do too much rough work. He was kind, cheerful, and generous.

Tan Hongmei likes to get along with Xu Sui. Xu Sui likes teacher and may not allow her children to be taught by her in the future.

She thought she was not a person who liked to take advantage of others, but she certainly couldn't come up with canned fruit like Shi Hong's wife. If she really had to, she would rather stay up a few more nights.

Xu Sui really liked these wild vegetables. After eating radishes and cabbages for a whole day, she really missed the lush green vegetables.

She didn't know when greenhouse vegetables were grown, nor did she understand the technology involved, so she thought it would take many years.

Xu Sui, Tan Hongmei and Du Rantong were able to continue their relationship because neither of them was a tricky or extreme person.

We come and go in daily life, and it's a pleasure to interact with each other.

In the evening, when Lu Chenghuai came back, Xu Sui had already prepared the meal and kept it warm on the stove, ready for him to take out and eat when he came back.

Xu Sui asked him, "I heard that the consolation delegation will come to perform?"

Lu Chenghuai was not surprised how she knew this, and nodded and said, "Come on Sunday, you can go and watch it then. There should be dancing and opera, such as The White-Haired Girl, Ying Xiaohong, and The Red Detachment of Women. Generally, you should watch some of these three."

The troops would have several consolation group performances every year. In the past, they would just call them the art troupe. He was already very familiar with them.

Xu Sui nodded in understanding, but didn't ask him about those gossips.

It's good to watch performances. Life without entertainment would be boring. Besides, she also wants to see the charm of the current art troupe.

She fried a plate of bracken today, with a bowl of scrambled eggs with watercress. As for the canned fruit given by Du Rantong, she would give it to Tuantuan and the others later.

Neither Xu Sui nor Lu Chenghuai likes canned food.

After dinner, Lu Chenghuai went to wash the dishes. Xu Sui picked up his coat and wanted to hang it in the room, but seeing that his coat pockets were bulging and there seemed to be nothing inside, she took it out and took a look without thinking too much.

In his hands were several bags of familiar things. The two of them had used them up before, and Lu Chenghuai had never had the time to pick them up. Now, it had indeed been empty for a few days since the last time.

So this is why he came back late today? Xu Sui silently put the paper bag back, pretending that she hadn't moved it.

But Lu Chenghuai is such a sharp person.

He never felt ashamed about sex, and his tone was normal when he talked to Xu Sui about this matter, "Sui Sui, don't worry, what we got this time is enough for us to use until your period."

Xu Sui: “…”

What is she worried about?

Lu Chenghuai obeys her in every aspect of life, except in bed, he is a man with a strong desire for control.
