Chapter 129 Making Cotton Clothes



She looked at the floral cloth in Tong Yiya's hand and asked, "Are you making clothes for yourself? This cloth is so beautiful, it's just suitable for a girl like you."

Tong Yiya looked down at the floral fabric in her hand that she had disliked earlier, and unexpectedly found that it really fits the aesthetics of people of this era. She smiled and replied, "I thought it looked too floral, so I planned to make it into some inner clothes."

"No, at your age, you should wear something like this, it looks good," said Aunt Guihua

Aunt Guihua said, picked up the flowered cloth, looked at it and said, "Listen to me, use this cloth to make a new cotton-padded jacket, wear it out, I guarantee that others will not take their eyes off you."

Tong Yiya listened to what Aunt Guihua said and could only nod and say: "Then I will listen to you, Auntie, and make it into a cotton-padded jacket."

"Oh, by the way, do you have any cotton at home? If you need cotton clothes, I can come to my house and get you some. These are what my second daughter-in-law exchanged in the city. There is some every year, and I can't use them all," Aunt Guihua asked.

She had rarely seen Tong Zhiqing go to the commune in the past year or so, and remembering that she had been an orphan since childhood, she guessed that she might not go to the commune because she was short of money.

After all, looking at other educated youth, they had to go to the commune from time to time to spend money to eat and drink. Every time they had a holiday, they had the opportunity to go to the state-owned restaurant in the commune.

She thought Tong Yiya didn't go because she had no money. In fact, Tong Yiya didn't go because the food she ate at home was much better than what they ate in the state-owned restaurant.

So she replied to Aunt Guihua: "Don't worry, Aunt, I still have this little cotton, enough to make one or two cotton-padded clothes."

"That's good. If you don't have enough, just ask me to borrow some. Don't be polite to me," said Aunt Guihua.

"Well, if it's really cotton, I won't be polite to you, auntie," Tong Yiya replied.

Later she cut some more cloth. Since she was going to make a cotton-padded coat, the cloth had to be double-layered. Cutting the cloth and getting the cotton took her the whole afternoon.

Aunt Guihua went home at around four o'clock. Tong Yiya was halfway through her work, but when she saw the sun was about to set, she put down her needlework and went to bring back all the herbs that were drying in the yard.

After cooking and eating dinner, she entered the space. Recently, she has almost memorized all the acupuncture points on the human body, and she has also begun to practice acupuncture.

She stayed in the space until late at night before leaving to rest. The next day, after finishing all the housework, she continued to make her own cotton-padded clothes.

Place the cut cloth over the stuffed cotton, then sew the two layers of cloth together with needle and thread. After everything is sewn together, sew the cotton and cloth together with needle and thread again to fix the cotton and prevent it from running.

It took her three days to make a cotton coat, and then cotton trousers. Tong Yiya's cotton trousers were made of dark blue cotton cloth, which she couldn't accept. She thought it would be beautiful to wear cotton trousers with big flowers, so she finally chose dark blue.

It took her another two days to finish the cotton trousers. She folded the finished cotton coat and put it in the closet, ready to wear in winter.

Later, whenever she had free time, she would make herself inner clothes. She used any color of cloth to make a set.

Anyway, she won’t be able to grow much taller now, so if she makes enough, she will be able to wear them in the next few years. In half a month, she made four sets of inner clothes for herself.

Although they are said to be worn innerwear, they can actually be worn alone in the summer. It would be best if she washes all the clothes in the sun, hangs them to dry before putting them away in the closet.

After making the clothes, Tong Yiya began to process the medicinal materials. The temperature difference between morning and evening has become larger during this period. Many elderly people and children in the village have caught colds. Now people come here every day to get medicine to take home.

For more serious cases, Tong Yiya would carry her medicine box and go out to see the patient, and then prescribe the right medicine.

She was so busy for a while that sometimes she even had no time to stay at home. The team leader also told her that if people from other teams came to get medicine, they would charge her at a similar price, and they would take half of it as the collective asset of the village.

After all, she still had to receive ten work points every day, and the herbs she dug were also from the mountains around the village. Tong Yiya didn't have any thoughts about handing over the money, as it was not much anyway.

But she thought she had to pay the full amount, but she didn't expect that she could get half of it. This money was like picking it up for free, who wouldn't be happy.

So she went out more actively. When the elderly in other villages were seriously ill, they would drive their ox carts to call her. Her medical skills also spread throughout the surrounding areas. Everyone thought they were good, so more people came to ask her for treatment.

Later, Tong Yiya was a little worried that the herbs she prepared were not enough, so she prescribed medicine according to the dosage. In the past, she would give more to the villagers so that they could keep them for backup.

She has saved more and more people. Many people from other villages who suffered from long-term illnesses have been cured by taking the medicine she prescribed.

After these people recovered from their illness, they would bring some of their own belongings to thank Tong Yiya.

She didn't want to accept it at first. After all, she had already paid for the herbs, and Tong Yiya would feel bad if she accepted more things from others.

Unexpectedly, one time, a patient's family member sent her something to express their gratitude, but she refused as usual. However, the man put the thing down and ran away. In the end, Tong Yiya had no choice but to accept the thing.

Later, more and more people did the same thing, and her home had more and more food, most of which was sent by the patients she had treated.

After more than half a month, the temperature outside had dropped to several degrees Celsius, and it was too cold to stay outside for a long time.

The kang in Tong Yiya's house was heated early on. Now she moved her medical consultations to the pharmacy. She hung a wind-proof curtain at the door and burned a small charcoal stove in the room.

All the charcoal was made by burning large wood in the space. She didn't burn much herself, just enough for her to burn in the pharmacy every day.

She didn't dare to send it to the elderly people over there. After all, everyone in the village knew that only her family had charcoal grills. If she really sent it over there, she would be exposed.

She had been sending some firewood to the old people every night some time ago. After storing it for so long, it should be enough to last through the winter.

Aunt Guihua came to visit her home right after lunch today. As soon as she entered the yard, she shouted, "Tong Zhiqing, are you home?"

Tong Yiya heard someone shouting and responded, "Auntie, I'm in the pharmacy, come in and warm yourself by the fire."

Aunt Guihua lifted the curtain, entered the room and felt the warmth and said, "Oh, your room is really warm. It's smart of you to put up a door curtain. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to open the door for people coming and going."

"Aunt Guihua, come over and warm yourself by the fire. It's very cold outside. I don't know if it's going to snow. It's getting colder day by day." When Tiantian saw that it was Aunt Guihua, she quickly sat inside, made room for her, and asked her to sit down.
