With the sewing machine, Lin Jingshu started sewing pajamas without stopping.
She has never used a sewing machine of this era, but she has learned some related knowledge from videos.
I was not familiar with it at first, but I got the hang of it slowly.
Pajamas don't need to have complicated designs. They should just be short-sleeved tops and shorts, and there's no need for embroidery patterns.
When I bought fabric, I bought an extra piece of floral fabric to make myself a nightgown.
I haven't rested for the whole morning and my feet are about to spark.
When Gu Chengze came back in the morning, Lin Jingshu couldn't wait to urge him to change his clothes.
It has to be said that Gu Chengze has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, coupled with a handsome face. Even if he is wearing a sack, his temperament is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
The fabric she chose was breathable and cool. Gu Chengze put it on and stood in front of the mirror admiring it, with a smile on his face.
When taking a nap, move the fan to the bedside, plug it in, and a gust of wind will blow over you, blowing away the heat from your body.
When Lin Jingshu went downstairs, Gu Chengze had already gone to the military camp. There were a few mangoes on the table, and a note underneath saying that they were sent by Sister Su.
The golden mango is a specialty of the island. The skin of this mango is mostly golden yellow, the flesh is thick and has a very delicate taste, and it has relatively little fiber.
The mango sago made with this kind of mango tastes very good.
I happened to have coconut at home, but no tapioca pearls. However, I had glutinous rice flour, so I used the ingredients on hand to make a simple version of mango sago.
It doesn’t take long to make this. Half an hour later, Lin Jingshu was happily eating the finished product.
Holding the bowl, he went to the next door and knocked on the door. Su Hongping was folding clothes at home. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw that it was Lin Jingshu. She warmly invited her in.
"Jingshu is here, come in quickly."
The brother and sister were both lying on the table studying.
Ji Xin is doing his homework. Although he didn't go to school, he can't fall behind in his studies.
Jinian took a blank piece of paper and drew the simple sketches that Lin Jingshu taught her.
"She loves these two pieces of paper you gave her as souvenirs. She takes them out every day to write and draw."
Lin Jingshu touched Jinian's head and said, "As long as she likes it, I have a lot at home and will send it to you when the time comes."
There is still a lot of it in the space, it would be a waste to keep it there, so it’s better to do a favor.
Su Hongping said, "How can I do this? Why don't you name a price and I'll buy it."
The two pieces of paper Jingshu gave to her daughter had a white and smooth surface, better than any she had ever seen before. I'm afraid they wouldn't be cheap. If someone gave them to her for free, wouldn't it be a loss?
"It's not a lot of money, and it would be a waste to just leave these papers there. Since Nian Nian likes them, why not put them to good use? Who knows, maybe she can become a great painter in the future."
Su Hongping didn't think so far. She and her husband loved their two children. It was rare to see Nian Nian like painting so much, so they just followed her wishes.
"Sister-in-law, this is the dessert I made. Would you and the two children like it?"
Su Hongping took a look and found golden flesh. She asked, "Is this made of mango?"
As he said that, he scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
With one bite, the sweet and cool coconut milk wraps the mango flesh and melts in your mouth.
The glutinous rice balls are slightly elastic when chewed, and this combination is somewhat magical.
"tasty!"
Jinyi put away the drawing paper, took a small sip from the bowl, and then his eyes lit up.
She thought her aunt was amazing and could cook so many different kinds of food.
The little girl had no resistance to the sweet drink. She quickly finished a bowl and licked the corner of her mouth with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Savor the light coconut aroma and sweet mango flavor lingering in your mouth.
"Sister-in-law, I came here to ask if you know where to find chicks. The chicken coop at home has been built for a while, and I haven't had time to replace the chicks."
"There should be some in the nearby village, but I don't know if they're available right now. I'm going to the village later to check and exchange some eggs. Do you want to come with me?"
Lin Jingshu naturally agreed.
When Ji Nian learned that his mother was going out with Aunt Lin, he hugged her thighs and acted coquettishly, begging her to go with him.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely take you with me. Go get the hat, Xiaoxin, are you coming?"
Xiao Xin touched the wound on his face. He wanted to go, but if he went out, people would definitely see the wound on his face. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I won't go."
"Brother, we are going to pick mulberries."
The brother and sister went to the village they visited this time since they were young. There was a big mulberry tree in front of the house of their grandmother who exchanged eggs for them. Every time they went there, their grandmother would pick mulberries for them, and the brother and sister loved to eat them.
"this......"
Xiao Xin looked a little conflicted, and the balance in his heart kept tilting to one side.
In the end, I couldn't resist the temptation of mulberries and decided to go with them.
When I went out, I ran into a group of military wives who were going to Lin Jingshu's house.
Everyone seemed to be holding something in their hands. Lin Jingshu was a little confused and told them to leave.
After saying hello and walking over, I learned from Su Hongping that they wanted to go to her house to enjoy the heat from the electric fan.
"You won't understand it when you first arrive, but you'll know after a while. It's a new thing, and everyone is curious."
There are many soldiers with the same position as Gu Chengze in the family compound, and the situation of each household is different.
Electric fans consume electricity after purchase, so some families who can afford it are reluctant to buy them.
They thought that Lin Jingshu was new and shy and would not refuse, so they swarmed in.
"When the time comes, just find an excuse to send them away. After a while, their attention will be diverted and they won't think about it anymore."
Lin Jingshu nodded.
After entering the village, Su Hongping walked to the door of a house as if she was familiar with the route.
There was a child about seven or eight years old sitting at the door. He obviously knew her and greeted her with a blushing face.
Su Hongping smiled and said, "Gangdan, is your grandma home?"
Gangdan nodded and shouted into the house, "Grandma, Aunt Su is here!"
Soon, a middle-aged woman with slightly dark skin and a round face came out.
In this era, people generally get married and have children early. I didn’t expect that this comrade, who looks young, already has grandchildren.
"Comrade Su is here."
"Auntie Guan, do you have any chicks at home?"
"I don't have any chicks at home, but a while ago a family at the east end of the village was hatching eggs. I wonder if they still have them now."
Aunt Guan found the eggs stored at home. Her family had many people, and according to the above policy, she could raise a few more chickens.
Every day after school, the children in the family dig earthworms to feed the chickens. The chickens eat well and lay more eggs.
Apart from eating at home, the rest is saved to exchange for other things.
Lin Jingshu: "Please take us there to have a look. If they are suitable, I will bring a few back."
The family Aunt Guan mentioned was her sister-in-law. They didn't lose contact after the separation, but got along even better.
Hearing Lin Jingshu say this, he smiled instantly, "Okay, let's go now."
