134: Call home to eat dumplings
Yu Xiaoye modified the work clothes of seven female educated youth according to each person's size in just one morning.
Even Director Ma was impressed by the speed and craftsmanship.
Not to mention Director Ma, even Yu Xiaoye himself did not expect that he could use this sewing machine so smoothly the first time he used it.
The seven girls all changed into modified work clothes. The originally monotonous and shapeless clothes became decent and fashionable under Yu Xiaoye's skillful transformation.
Director Ma smiled and praised:
"Xiao Ye, I didn't expect you to be such a talented person. Not only are you so talented, but you're also so good at sewing. So many people have used my sewing machine, but you're the fastest learner and have the best skills!"
Yu Xiaoye was not modest and said with a smile:
"Thank you Director Ma for the compliment."
Then he asked:
"By the way, Director Ma, can I borrow your sewing machine from you in the future?"
"Of course!" Director Ma was very happy. "You're always welcome to come. Seeing how good you are at sewing, I was thinking that if we need to do something at home in the future, we can ask you for help."
"No problem!" Yu Xiaoye said in a crisp voice.
Director Ma chatted:
"As for me, you can ask me to hold a hoe or a pen, and I am not afraid of anything else except sewing.
No matter how many times my mother taught me since I was a child, I just couldn't learn. My mother was so angry that she scolded me, saying that no one would want me when I grew up and I would never find a husband. I actually believed what my mother said and thought I would be single for the rest of my life.
Later, I met Lao Liu from our family. Fortunately, Lao Liu didn’t despise me and married me home, nor did he despise my poor needlework.
Later, seeing how much I struggled with sewing, Lao Liu took out all the money he had saved over the years of marriage, borrowed from various sources, and finally bought me a sewing machine with twenty industrial coupons. When my mother knew I wanted to buy a sewing machine, she even sent me twenty yuan to help me out.
The girls all laughed when they heard this, and some said enviously:
"Director Ma, Brother Liu is so kind to you that he spent so much money to buy you a sewing machine."
"There's nothing I can do if he doesn't buy it. If he doesn't buy it, he'll have to mend the clothes at home when they get torn. His paws are even dumber than mine!"
"Hahaha--"
Yu Xiaoye also laughed. Director Ma usually looked very serious, and he thought she was difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect her to be so easy-going.
The atmosphere in the room was full of joy, and the educated youth were still showing off when the wooden door creaked open.
Sai Jinhua squeezed into the door wearing a straw raincoat and a cloak.
As soon as Sai Jinhua came in, she was looking for something in the crowd. When she saw Yu Xiaoye, her eyes fell on her and she breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding her target.
"Hey, I've been asking around all the way and finally found him. Turns out he's at Director Ma's house."
Everyone in the room knew that Sai Jinhua was looking for Yu Xiaoye, and they could all see that Sai Jinhua liked Yu Xiaoye.
Everyone used to find it strange and didn't understand why Sai Jinhua liked this girl. After all, there were so many girls on the farm, and no one had ever shown Sai Jinhua any preference.
However, after getting to know Yu Xiaoye, I felt that this girl was indeed very likable, harmless, well-behaved and cute, with a cleverness in her eyes and her hands were so dexterous. Who wouldn't like her?
Director Ma praised Sai Jinhua:
"Sai Jinhua, this girl is really skilled with her hands. Look at the clothes she altered for the girls."
Sai Jinhua then noticed that all the female educated youth were wearing modified work clothes and muttered quietly:
"Don't you all have hands? Don't tire our girl out!"
Rao Li was in a good mood and said deliberately:
"She's got long arms, but they're a little haphazard. If we had hands as deft as Ono, we wouldn't need to ask her for help, don't you think?"
"Yes, yes, yes—" the others echoed in unison.
When Sai Jinhua heard people praising Xiaoye, she felt happier than when they were praising herself, so she didn't take it to heart anymore. She rolled her eyes and said:
"By the way, now that you've finished using her, it's my turn. I need her to help me with some needlework, too. Come on, girl, go home with your aunt."
"oh!"
Yu Xiaoye thought Sai Jinhua really wanted her to help with needlework. She had helped so many people modify clothes, so there was no reason to refuse Sai Jinhua's request, so she followed Sai Jinhua.
Sai Jinhua was holding a straw raincoat in her hand and asked Yu Xiaoye to put it on.
The big straw raincoat almost crushed the little Ono.
Wearing a heavy straw raincoat and a cloak, Yu Xiaoye followed Sai Jinhua.
Sai Jinhua seemed to be afraid that she would slip in the rain, so she took her little hand and held it tightly in her palm.
"Aunt, what work do you want to do?"
"You'll know when you get there."
When I arrived at Sai Jinhua's house, as soon as I entered the main room, I found that the house was filled with smoke.
Under a cloud of smoke, there was a table full of dumplings!
——Where is the needlework you promised me?
The dumplings were boiled and broke, right?
Lao Pu sat at the table on the kang, holding his old pipe and said anxiously:
"Why did you take so long? I've already cooked the dumplings."
Sai Jinhua said as she took off her straw raincoat:
"Oh, a bunch of female educated youth took the girl to get her work clothes altered. I had to look all over the place to find them. I don't know why they're so conceited—"
Yu Xiaoye also took off his straw raincoat and said in confusion:
"Aunt, what on earth did you call me here for?"
Lao Pu smiled innocently:
"Of course I asked you to come and eat dumplings."
Yu Xiaoye then realized that it was already noon and her parents were still at home. Why did they only call her over but not her parents?
Yu Xiaoye understood that Sai Jinhua and the old Pu couple now had a deep prejudice against her parents, so they only invited her and not her parents.
Otherwise, with Sai Jinhua and Lao Pu's hospitable character, they should have invited their whole family to eat dumplings. There is no reason to only invite her.
Come alone.
Yu Xiaoye probably didn't want to ask, as he was worried that his parents had nothing to eat at home.
When she was not at home, it was difficult for the old couple to enter the space. Most of the food at home was in the space, and there seemed to be no food in the kitchen.
So Yu Xiaoye asked timidly:
"Uncle, aunt, um, where are my parents?"
"Your parents? Just let them starve at home and don't worry about them!"
“——”
It's all over. Sai Jinhua and the old couple Lao Pu even hate her parents.
What should I do?
"Don't stand there, come here and eat it while it's hot." Lao Pu put down the cigarette in his hand and called Yu Xiaoye over.
Yu Xiaoye couldn't bear to leave her parents alone to eat good food at someone else's house, but she couldn't leave now. Sai Jinhua pushed her to the edge of the kang and asked her to take off her shoes and get on it.
As soon as she sat down, Lao Pu brought three bowls of dumplings to her:
"Eat quickly, make sure you're full!"
"Why!"
Although Yu Xiaoye felt a little uneasy, his stomach started to growl when he smelled the aroma of cooking dumplings.
She muttered secretly in her heart:
Dad, Mom, I'm going to eat first. Sorry.
She didn't hesitate, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
