"Lily, you are busy with classes, why are you still bothering to do these?" Fu Bailu was concerned about Qiao Baili, "I see that you are thinner than the last time you came back, you should not exhaust yourself."
"Aunt Fu, I'm not tired because of doing these things. I knitted sweaters and crocheted shoes. I did them while I was reading and memorizing books."
Qiao Baili took out a purple sweater vest and handed it to Fu Bailu, "Aunt Fu, I knitted this for you. The color of the yarn is new from the yarn factory. As soon as I saw it, I thought this color suited you."
"I think vests are practical here. On winter days, we can wear a long-sleeved shirt inside and a vest outside. This is just right. If it gets a little colder, we can add a coat outside. In winter, we can wear a turtleneck sweater inside and a cotton jacket outside."
Qiao Baili's hands are really deft. She even crocheted three-dimensional flowers on her vest, which she learned from department stores.
Fu Bailu really liked this sweater, so she didn't even bother to refuse it. She accepted it with a smile as a compliment and a thank you.
She said that Fu Qingshan was blessed to marry Qiao Xinyi, and she liked everyone in Qiao Xinyi's family.
Qiao Yunbai looked at the two children's woolen shoes and felt itchy, "Sister Lily, do I have any?"
"You and Yunsong are both at home." Qiao Baili responded, and then went to buy new clothes for Xiaozhou and Xiaoyu, one set for each, with the same style and even the same color.
"Xinyi, this is a woolen coat for you." Qiao Baili said, "We bought the material from the factory, and then we found an old tailor to make it according to the style in the picture. See if you like the style. If not, go back and ask the tailor to make some changes. I heard from the old tailor that this style was made according to some famous brand."
"I don't really understand these, but I like them. I think they look really good and fashionable on them, and I think they will look good on you, too, so I'm going to do this for you."
Qiao Baili knew that Qiao Xinyi was quite picky about clothes, both in fabric and style.
Originally, it would have been best to give the fabric directly to Qiao Xinyi and let her find a familiar tailor to make it herself, but Qiao Baihe really thought that the style the students wore was very beautiful, so she still made it according to her own ideas and brought it back to Qiao Xinyi.
"It does look good!" Qiao Xinyi took off her coat and put it on right away. "It looks a bit like a windbreaker, very elegant. The buttons are made of metal, right?"
"It's alloy. The old tailor said this button is a rare commodity. He went through some connections to get it. He said that for this kind of black woolen coat, metal buttons are the best choice for making a simple and elegant style. I don't know why, but I think what the old tailor said makes sense. When he showed me the plastic buttons, I also thought that the alloy buttons looked better."
I felt relieved to see that Qiao Xinyi really liked Qiao Baili.
Watching Qiao Baili taking out items one by one, even Fu Qingshan got a gift, a pen, Qiao Xinyi sat next to Qiao Baili and asked her, "How much do you have left of the money you earned? Do you have a dollar left?"
"Money is a bastard. You can earn more money after spending it!" Qiao Baili answered very domineeringly, and then smiled and said, "But there must be more than 10 yuan left."
After all, she was planning to give New Year's money to her mother, two younger brothers, and two nephews.
Qiao Baili likes the feeling of earning money to buy things for her family.
Moreover, this was the first time she earned money on her own and the first time she used her own money to buy gifts for her family.
She enjoys preparing gifts for her family.
Qiao Xinyi rubbed Qiao Baili's head and imitated Fu Bailu's tone, "You kid, you just spend money recklessly."
Qiao Baili looked at Qiao Xinyi speechlessly, "Don't treat me like Xiaozhou and Xiaoyu."
"You can't be so perfunctory in coaxing Xiaozhou and Xiaoyu~ You can't do that~" Fu Linzhou suddenly said while holding the woolen shoes and looking up.
He said "No" with a serious face, which made everyone in the room laugh.
Fu Qingshan and several of his comrades walked side by side towards home. The New Year was approaching, and as soon as they entered the family compound, they could smell the fragrance coming from all directions.
"Whose fried dough twist is this?" Captain Cheng sniffed. "This smell is authentic northern fried dough twist, Lao Liu, you smell something wrong."
Captain Liu nodded, then asked Captain Cheng, "You haven't brought your wife back yet? If you don't come back tomorrow, you'll have to spend the New Year alone this year."
Captain Cheng's originally good mood suddenly fell to the bottom, his eyebrows drooped, and he didn't even want to speak.
Captain Gong quietly poked Captain Liu's arm, thinking that this guy was really good at chatting and would talk about anything.
Captain Liu thought it was okay for him to talk about this, so he bypassed Captain Gong and went to Fu Qingshan's side to avoid being hit again after he finished speaking.
"Captain Cheng, your mother sent your nephew back to his hometown and never came back?" Captain Liu wanted to ask, "We will take turns on duty in a few days. You came back early today, why don't you go and coax your wife as soon as possible?
Let me tell you, don't think that if you leave your wife aside for a few days, she will calm down and come back on her own. It's not like that. The more you leave her alone, the angrier she will get. Originally, you could just say a few words to her and coax her and she would be fine, but the more you leave her alone, the more likely it is that she won't be able to be cured by just a few words of coaxing. ”
Captain Cheng was already in a bad mood, but Captain Liu didn't even know how to read his mood and kept on chattering. The more he got annoyed, the more he took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to light it.
Fu Qingshan said directly, "If you want to smoke, go to the side and smoke far away. Don't let the smell of cigarettes get on me. My wife can't stand the smell of cigarettes."
Captain Cheng gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you so afraid of your wife?"
"I'm not afraid of my wife, I love her." Fu Qingshan put his hands in his pockets, his expression was high and pointed, "I'm different from you. You're a soon-to-be-divorced person, no one cares if you smoke or not, and no one cares if you smoke to death at home. I can't compare to someone as free as you."
Captain Cheng was so angry at Fu Qingshan that he glared at him while holding the cigarette box, took a cigarette and put it in his mouth to bite, but he didn't light it.
"Divorced? Really divorced?" Captain Liu was stunned.
Captain Cheng nodded, "I went to pick her up twice but she refused to come back. She said she didn't want to live with me anymore and decided to divorce me. She would give her daughter to her and I would pay her child support every month. She said she would come."
My daughter and wife packed their clothes, and the day before yesterday my wife also came to the staff quarters with her family to pack up and leave.
The wife didn't leave any of her clothes behind. Even though Captain Cheng was confident and slow, he could see that his wife was serious about divorcing him this time.
"Your wife is too angry. She has come to this point just because of what happened that day." Captain Liu sighed, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
Fu Qingshan continued the conversation like a conspicuous person.
