Lichun walked to the cabinet, opened the door, and put the things in his hand inside.
It was only then that Yin Xiaoman noticed that the little apprentice was holding a small satin package in his hand.
Lichun obviously couldn't see her. Even when they were almost face to face, he still didn't notice anything at all.
But Yin Xiaoman is different.
She was standing next to the cabinet, so close to someone that she felt very awkward, and subconsciously wanted to move to the side.
Just at this moment, Lichun suddenly called out, "Master."
Yin Xiaoman opened his mouth to answer.
He reacted only when the words were on the tip of his tongue and quickly covered his mouth, his heart pounding with fear.
At this moment, she almost thought that her apprentice had seen her!
Fortunately, Lichun spoke again at this time: "Master, I don't know if you will give me a little apprentice brother or a little apprentice sister? I really want to make two sets of clothes for them!
But you also know that it’s not good to do these things in the palace and be discovered by others. I’m afraid that if I do it, it will make you unhappy. ”
When Lichun said he wanted to make clothes for the children, Yin Xiaoman's expression changed. If she didn't still have a shred of rationality left, she would have started cursing right now!
Does this little bastard know what she is talking about?
Ever since the witchcraft incident in the palace a few years ago, everyone from top to bottom has been keeping a very strict eye on children's clothing.
Not to mention that no one else can see the things of the young masters, the ownerless clothes that appear inexplicably must be investigated thoroughly and their sources must be found out.
She was an unmarried palace maid, and children's clothes appeared in her room... Was she trying to commit suicide? !
Fortunately, Lichun said the following sentence at this time, which made Yin Xiaoman feel a little relieved.
"It's a good thing you still have some brains." She said silently in her heart.
"But when my junior brothers and sisters were born, I felt uncomfortable if I, as the eldest sister, didn't do something for them. So I made a small quilt for them.
Master, I know you said that the two sides use different things and you wouldn't let me give you anything casually. But here, I used fine cotton, nothing fancy. We just use the best cotton to ensure it is soft and smooth.
I wonder if you will like it after watching it?
If possible, could you give it to your fellow junior students? At least it’s a small token of my appreciation as your senior sister. ”
She mumbled something and put the bag into the closet.
Yin Xiaoman stood nearby, watching his apprentice talking to himself with an expression of great enjoyment, and thought to himself that he should give his apprentice something.
It wasn't for the sake of repaying a favor, as this wasn't something that a master and a disciple talked about. She just wanted her disciple to feel her love.
Yin Xiaoman thought about it for a long time, and then remembered the underwear that Lu Li gave her today.
Qiao Mai's words "We are all in the kitchen..." reminded her of her little apprentice.
So, she could also make a similar one for Lichun, right?
Although she felt that she might not have the ingenuity of Lu Li, she could still do it by copying.
After all, over the years, except for the man who always wore military uniforms, wasn't it she who made the clothes for everyone else in the family?
I watched Lichun write a note and put it in the cabinet, and then watched her leave. Yin Xiaoman took the quilt she made and returned to her own little room.
After putting the quilt away and looking through the house, she realized that after so many years, the cloth she had left behind had almost been used up.
Although most of the clothes Da Mi and Da Bao wear on the island are made from old military uniforms discarded by adults. But because the weather is hot and we wash clothes frequently, the clothes are damaged very quickly.
In the meantime, she also made a lot of small jackets and pants for them to replace.
And Erniu and her clothes also made a lot.
Before I knew it, all that stock was gone.
Yin Xiaoman suddenly realized a problem at this moment - she had bought cloth too rarely in these years!
Except that Cui Yan would sometimes ask her to buy some clothes, she never went shopping specifically for anything else.
Especially after arriving on the island, it was so difficult to buy things that she completely forgot about it!
Thinking of this, she knocked her head speechlessly.
It's also a good thing that men are hands-off when it comes to household affairs. Every time they receive money bills, they always hand them over together with the envelopes, leaving not a penny in their pockets.
Eat whatever you are given, without being picky.
As for what to add and what to buy, she has full control over it and does not ask any other questions.
Otherwise, it would be strange if you didn't become suspicious.
Yin Xiaoman sat on the edge of the bed, took out the wooden box where she usually kept her valuables, and began to count the money and bills she had stored there.
She plans to find an opportunity to ask her sister-in-law to help her go to the department store to see if she can help buy some cloth. It would be best if she could buy a set of ready-made clothes for each of the children in the family.
In the pioneer camp, everyone wore homemade clothes and didn’t think it was a big deal. But as more and more family members came to the island, she also saw other children wearing the clothes they bought.
Even if others don’t mention it, there were two children in Da Mi’s Zhongshan Island team who had worn it.
Other people’s children can wear it, why can’t her child? There was no need to mention it before, but now that she remembered it, Yin Xiaoman decided to take this opportunity to dress up her own child neatly.
Yin Xiaoman opened the wooden box, took out all the money and bills inside and counted them, then paused.
She counted it again in disbelief, and then she realized that their family was really rich.
Not counting the bills, she had almost two thousand yuan in cash!
Thinking back to the time, the fight with Liu Chunxia over a few dozen dollars is still vivid in my mind. Now, in the blink of an eye, I have so much money at hand? !
At this moment, Yin Xiaoman suddenly had a very unreal feeling.
But if you think about it, it’s normal.
Speaking of which, Shen Qingyun was already qualified enough to be promoted to deputy regiment commander when he was in the Vanguard Battalion.
When he asked for the ship testing qualification promised to Chengtuan, Chengtuan submitted a report to the division and helped him apply for a second-class merit.
It was a great thing to be able to receive second-class merit in peacetime, and his previous qualifications were sufficient, so he was appointed as deputy regiment commander before he even boarded the ship.
But Shen Qingyun went through a lot of trouble and nearly lost his life in the arsenal, and what he wanted was not promotion.
What he wanted was to be able to go on board the ship himself and become the commander of the first batch of new ships, so that their vanguard battalion could achieve greater glory.
His dream is finally coming true, and now he is asked to give up everything and become a deputy in the group? He won't do it!
Cheng Tuan couldn't do anything to him. Besides, as a fellow military cadre, he even felt that Shen Qingyun was right in his heart and he wouldn't do it even if he was in his place.
So he stepped in to suppress the order and only got a promotion in position but not in rank.
I have discussed everything with him and we will discuss it after he returns from his studies.
As a result, before his studies here were completed, Shen Qingyun received an order to transfer to Zhongshan Island.
Zhongshan Island is too small.
The highest we can get is a battalion, not even a full staffing.
In fact, even though this is the time when the number of people on the island is the largest in history, it is actually only half of a full-strength camp.
But Shen Qingyun didn't care about this at all.
So all these years he has been receiving a regimental salary but doing the work of a battalion commander.
The salary of a deputy regiment commander was already more than 20 yuan more than that of a battalion commander. Adding in the regional subsidies, Shen Qingyun alone received more than 70 yuan in salary.
And Yin Xiaoman's own salary and subsidies...
By this calculation, there will be quite a lot of money after two years.
But the cost on the island is very low.
After using the coupons, food and other non-staple foods only cost a little money. After all these years, their family has accumulated quite a lot.
Looking at the pile of colorful banknotes in the wooden box, Yin Xiaoman suddenly felt his back straighten.
When Lu Li came again the next day, she took out the money and cloth coupons she had prepared and expressed her thoughts.
Lü Li took a look and waved her hands: "How can I use so much? Children's clothes are not that expensive, I only bought them for a few dollars. Even your clothes, a set will cost no more than 20 yuan."
"Besides," she glanced at Yin Xiaoman, "You are not in a good condition to buy clothes right now. If you really want to buy some, I'll go to my brother-in-law's factory to see if there is any nice-looking fabric. I'll bring some back and make you a few skirts. I'm sure they will be more suitable than the ones you buy."
Hearing her say this, Qiao Mai beside her also nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Sister Xiaoman, it would be best for you to make a few skirts in your current situation. Let me tell you, I've seen people in our area wearing maternity skirts before, they look so good! And they're convenient!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lv Li's eyes lit up immediately: "What kind of maternity dress? Tell me, let me see if I can make it."
"Okay, sister-in-law, wait a minute. I'll go upstairs and get some paper and pen and draw it for you. I'm telling you, sister-in-law, don't listen to Xiaoman. Sometimes she's just too stubborn. This isn't appropriate, that isn't appropriate, but once you really make it, she'll wear it."
Yin Xiaoman: “…” Is it possible to say bad things about someone in front of others like that?
She glanced at the girl depressedly and was too lazy to say anything.
After being together for a long time, Qiao Mai can now take her pulse.
To be honest, she didn't want any skirts at all.
Although I have been in this world for several years, many habits and concepts from my previous life are not so easy to change.
It's like wearing a skirt with bare legs -
Although she sometimes envied Qiao Mai and the others, and felt that it was cool just looking at them.
But she was still a little uncomfortable with showing her legs like this.
She opened her mouth.
But the two men were talking animatedly, even drawing diagrams, completely ignoring her and looking like they were ready to make the decision for her.
She held back her words again.
Let them do as they please.
Anyway, even if they can make it for themselves, can't they wear it for themselves?
…
Ten days passed like this. With Zhou Tiancheng and his wife taking good care of me, I have nothing to worry about, and I don't even have to work...
Both Yin Xiaoman and Qiao Mai were "served" so well that their faces were flushed and they looked like they had gained several pounds.
The body has also returned to its best condition.
Although they knew that the day for the supply ship to deliver supplies had not yet arrived, they both felt extremely uncomfortable being taken care of even though there was obviously nothing wrong.
I wish I could count the days on my fingers every day.
Fortunately, when delivering food that morning, Zhou Tiancheng brought good news: "Tomorrow the patrol boat of the Second Battalion will go to the vicinity of Zhongshan Island. The regiment commander said that he can send you back along the way, so you can prepare."
The two girls were so excited that they almost couldn't sleep all night, and they had dark circles under their eyes when they woke up in the morning. Lu Li, who came to deliver food, kept saying that they had no conscience.
I'm so eager to go home.
But that being said, there is no shortage of things to prepare for them.
Because neither of them could go out, but neither Yin Xiaoman nor Qiao Mai was poor.
It goes without saying that Yin Xiaoman is rich. Qiao Mai's parents only have this one daughter, and their only elder has passed away, so the family has no burden at all.
Now the situation is that three people are earning money, but no one is spending it.
So when these two people buy things, they don't even blink an eye.
During this period, Lu Li has become their professional buyer, buying them almost everything they can find, including food and daily necessities.
Seeing them spending money like water, Lü Li initially groaned, but then Qiao Mai said, "We don't know how many years it will take for us to go to the island again!"
Lv Li's eyes suddenly turned red, and she never asked them to save money again.
So, when they came, each of them only took a small bag. When they left, the driver, Zhou Tiancheng, and Lu Tuan made two trips to get their bags from the ward.
Lu Tuan was amused by what he saw and said that they had emptied the entire department store.
But who knew this wasn't the end.
As soon as he came out of the regiment hospital, Tuan Lu saw Zhou Tiancheng's tricycle parked outside. When he saw the vegetables, meat, and all kinds of oil, salt and sauces that he couldn't even name, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Zhou Tiancheng looked at him and smiled innocently: "Captain, this is what Sister Yin brought back for the expert group."
These words made Lu Tuan shut up completely.
—
Because it was not the day the supply ship was coming, by the time I knew my daughter-in-law had returned, the ship had already docked.
At that time, Shen Qingyun and Qi Feng were holding a meeting for all the cadres at the company level and above in the regiment.
When he saw Ren Ping'an winking at him at the door, he glared at the guy.
But after knowing that his wife had already reached the shore, he just said to their instructor: "You can drive the rest by yourself."
Then he just walked away without any loyalty.
Leaving behind him a group of subordinates who had heard the whole thing burst into laughter.
The moment he saw his wife, Shen Qingyun's eyes were dazzled.
Then, suddenly, a small flame of fire rose in my heart that could not be suppressed.
He didn't expect that after not seeing him for more than half a month, his wife had become even more beautiful!
Perhaps because he had been locked up in the house and unable to go out, Yin Xiaoman, who had been a little tanned on Zhongshan Island, has completely regained his original fair complexion.
In addition, I ate well and slept enough during this period. Also, I was pregnant. Under the effect of progesterone, my whole body was nourished and looked delicate and attractive.
Today she wore a blue and white plaid maternity dress that revealed her arms and ankles.
Although the fabric of the skirt looked ordinary, the same as the fabric used to make bed sheets, it looked particularly beautiful when she wore it.
Shen Qingyun swallowed his saliva and felt his head buzzing, unable to think at all. It was as if his eyes were glued to his wife and couldn't be pulled away.
There was only one sentence left in his mind: "The wife is back! His wife is finally back!"
"What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Why don't you come and help me?"
Yin Xiaoman saw Shen Qingyun when he ran over covered in sweat.
She originally wanted to stand here and wait for him to come over.
But she didn't expect that the man stopped three steps away from her, and just stood there like a fool, grinning at her.
Not only is he extremely stupid, but his hot gaze makes your scalp numb, and his face is so hot that it can boil an egg.
Yin Xiaoman was both embarrassed and angry, so she could only glare at him and said angrily.
Shen Qingyun finally reacted.
He walked over with a chuckle, picked up the travel bag beside Yin Xiaoman's feet, and handed it to Da Mi who was standing beside him in a very natural way.
Then he pointed at the other packages and gestured to him and Dabao again.
Then he pulled them aside and came over and put his arm around his wife's shoulders.
Yin Xiaoman: “…”
"You've had a hard time taking the boat. Let them take these and I'll carry you back." He said this without blushing at all.
As he spoke, he bent down and held her legs.
Yin Xiaoman was so scared that she slapped him directly on the hand: "Don't touch me!"
After saying this, his face turned red again.
She never expected that this man would do this again!
The incident of him carrying himself home from the clinic is still talked about from time to time!
When they were chatting in the hospital that day, Qiao Mai even brought it up to tease her.
Now that time has passed and no one mentions it anymore, why is he coming again? !
"Then, I'll support you."
Shen Qingyun was not angry even after being slapped.
He pinched his wife's hurt little hand, and held her tighter against his body.
She used her body to block most of the gazes directed at her.
Humph, don't think he doesn't know. Those brats kept glancing over here while they were moving things!
…
After distributing the clothes, candies and snacks he brought back to the little ones, Yin Xiaoman sent them out to play.
Shen Qingyun wanted to stay and spend more time with his wife, but he had something to do. Even if the meeting could be handed over to Qi Feng, no one could replace him in doing the work that he should do.
So after instructing the little guys guarding outside to take good care of his wife, he hurried back to the camp.
After washing up, Yin Xiaoman originally wanted to take a rest, but before she could sit down, Mr. Hua came over.
"Xiao Man, how are you, are you recovering well?"
Mr. Hua must have been worried about her for a long time. Knowing that she had returned without even changing her work clothes, he hurried over from the design studio.
She was still wearing the big blue apron, with several pencils and pens stuffed in the front pocket.
There is still some ink left on my hands.
"I'm fine. Uncle, look, am I fatter than when I left?"
When there were no outsiders around, Yin Xiaoman naturally resumed the proper address, and stood up and deliberately turned around in front of the old man.
Seeing this, Mr. Hua's face was immediately filled with smiles, and the worry in his eyes faded a little.
"It's good to be fat. You have to be fat. If you are too thin, your body will be unable to bear it in the future." Old Hua looked at her and said with a smile.
After chatting with the old man about family matters for a while, Yin Xiaoman finally brought the topic to the wooden box.
She repeated to Mr. Hua everything that Lupin had said to her in the ward, picking out the important parts.
Then he said to him, "Uncle, I opened the wooden box."
Mr. Hua was shocked and looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Yin Xiaoman didn't say anything, but went back to the house, took out the open wooden box and placed it in front of the old man.
"Uncle, I opened the box, but I still can't understand what's inside."
