Chapter 906: Stealing Cotton
Lin An opened the door and saw Aunt Cheng standing at the door with several other aunts.
The winter night was so cold that Aunt Cheng and the others only waited at the door for less than a minute, and their breath turned white.
"Aunt Cheng, come in and warm up quickly.
"No, no, there are so many guests at your house, and it's not convenient for us to go in." Aunt Cheng asked, "Is Wan Ning at home? Let's show her the clothes we just made. Looking at
Lin An, she thought that Xu Wanning was pregnant, and she was most likely to get sick when she was cold or hot, so she simply called everyone into the room
because there was no window open to ventilate the smell, and there were still some barbecued food left in the hall. The smell of suckling pig.
This fragrance is so tempting, just by smelling it, Aunt Cheng and others couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"What does it smell like?" Sister-in-law Lin, what good food did your family eat just now? "An aunt asked with a smile, but her eyes kept circling around, as if she wanted to find something.
Aunt Cheng scolded hurriedly: "What does what other people eat at home have to do with you? She quickly brought the things to Wan Ning and saw
that this aunt was not among the people who had come to deliver the food before. However, her skill in making cotton-padded jackets was one of the best in the village, so Aunt Cheng could only call this person together.
The aunts who had previously given food to Xu Wanning instead of giving them fish were also there. They knew that with the kind of people Xu Wanning and Lin's mother were, they would definitely get a bite if they showed desire.
Who is not greedy? Especially since it smells so good.
But they still understand the principle of having a full meal. The Lin family will not think too much about it once or twice, but if it happens too many times, Bao Buqi will think that they are greedy, and they will not be happy to make money again in the future. Did it with them.
"That's right, hurry up and show the finished cotton-padded jacket to Wan Ning. If it passes
the test, you can get your wages earlier. Now, the smile on Aunt Cheng's face could no longer hold on.
She stared with a stiff face. The other party angrily rebuked: "You keep talking about money, are you obsessed with money or something?
The other party retorted dissatisfiedly: "I make cotton-padded jackets for them, and this is the handicraft money I earn. " Now that the cotton-padded jacket is ready, what’s the problem with me getting the money I deserve? You are all very aloof. If you have the ability, don’t ask for money. Do it for free.
“You...”
“What am I? Did I say something wrong?”
Xu Wanning looked at the quarreling people with a headache and quickly interrupted. They argued pointlessly, "Aunts, please show me the cotton-padded jackets. I can let everyone in the family change into new ones as soon as possible, and it can also keep them warm
. Aunt Cheng was the first to hand over what she made.
She also wanted to After all, you can earn two yuan by making a cotton-padded jacket. Anyone who doesn't cherish such a good way is a fool.
What's more, she was the first person Lin Quan found, so Aunt Cheng made three men's clothes by herself. and one for women, and also made two new clothes from Shi An Shiyi.
Xu Wanning first picked up the two small ones and inspected them. The stitching was very dense and the cotton was evenly distributed, even if it was washed several times. Don't worry about the loose cotton.
She took one of the pieces and measured it on Shi An. It was a little bit big, but it was thick inside, so it didn't matter.
"I measured the men's pieces on An Zi. Made for your stature, it’s not small, right?
"It's not small. It's just right.
According to the price agreed upon by Lin Quan and Aunt Cheng, Xu Wanning counted eleven dollars and fifty cents and gave it to Aunt Cheng. "
"Thank you Wan Ning, I have made money again. Aunt Cheng was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
When the Lin family built a new house, her two sons came. After five or six days, the two brothers together could only She earned about ten yuan,
but she made clothes for a day and a half, and she earned a total of eleven and a half cents!
Yesterday, she asked someone to buy pork from the butcher for one yuan. If she can buy a pound, her ten dollars will be enough to buy ten pounds of meat and a few pounds of candy for her children.
The family will finally have a prosperous year this year
, as will the other aunts . They received their corresponding wages in turn.
The last one was the aunt Xu Wanning was not familiar with. Xu Wanning just picked
up the cotton jacket and touched it with her hands twice, and then her face darkened.
I also paid two yuan for the crafting fee. To put it bluntly, who else within a few miles is so generous? In the end, you were so lucky that you actually cut corners for me? "
Xu Wanning was very angry and felt that she had been deceived.
When Aunt Cheng heard this, she hurriedly touched it, and then said angrily: "I know you have always been greedy. If you hadn't been thinking about your skills in making cotton-padded jackets, , I don’t want to find you at all. But you are so good, you still deduct cotton? You can feel it for yourself. The amount of cotton used is not half that of ours, right? Where did you get all the cotton? "
The other party said sarcastically: "The cotton I received is not enough.
"You fart!" Aunt Cheng yelled: "You are the second one to get the cotton. No one will be able to do without you! What do you want to do with some cotton?" "
No need to ask. I definitely want to keep it to make two cotton-padded jackets for my family.
The other aunts also joined in and scolded the aunt bloody,
"I don't care. I have already made the cotton-padded jacket, and my craft fee must be paid to me, otherwise I will... I will..."
"Here you go, okay. But my parents brought my cotton from Beijing. A pound of cotton costs six yuan. You must use at least a pound and a half of cotton yourself, right? You give me these nine dollars first.
"Why is cotton so expensive! You must be asking me for a high price on purpose!"
Aunt Cheng helped: "Wan Ning said, the cotton brought from Beijing is definitely better than ours. " Well spent. It's nine yuan. You should pay it to Wan Ning quickly, or you'll have to squat on the fence
! Hiding starts with just one pound, do you think you are stupid or bad?"
The relatively large main room seemed a lot more lively because of the quarrel between several aunts.
This was the first time for the eldest aunt and others to see such a scene, and they all watched with gusto.
Seeing this, Lin Quan hurriedly went to the house and brought out a plate of melon seeds, letting everyone grab a handful.
"Tsuen Tsuen, are all the people in your village so... fierce?"
Lin Quan explained: "Actually, Aunt Cheng and the others are very nice people. Didn't you meet an old gangster?
" Are there many people like this in the village?
"There are so many, so many that almost every household has one! " "
