When she woke up the next day, Qi Mengmeng felt that the soreness and swelling in her arms had improved a lot and was almost gone.
The room was quiet. Gu Guizhi seemed to have gone to work. Qi Mengmeng lay on the bed for a few minutes, put on her clothes and went out.
On the fire in the kitchen was warm millet porridge, a boiled egg, and a sugar triangle.
Qi Mengmeng smiled. She took out her breakfast, served some pickles, and ate slowly.
After breakfast, she washed the dishes, took out her sweater, sat in the yard and started knitting. A breeze blew by, and she felt very comfortable. She got up to make herself a cup of black tea, then sat back in her chair.
Her black tea is made from roasted orange peels, and the taste is different from those on the market. She used to like drinking it.
In the past, when she was tired of making bread or was criticized by customers, she would think that after she paid off her mortgage and had some savings, she would find a small courtyard, do some handicrafts in the courtyard, drink black tea and bask in the sun.
Now, it's done.
Although life was hard in the 1970s, Qi Mengmeng had some space. Qi Zhijun and Qi Huilan were both very good to her, and Gu Guizhi's allowance was not low. She could be said to be living a retired life in advance.
Qi Mengmeng took a sip of black tea leisurely, picked up the sweater and started knitting again.
If, at this time, she had two more cream cakes, it would definitely be more comfortable, but she was worried that someone would come over and see her, and it would be difficult to explain, so she just thought about it.
Although she worked quite fast, her demeanor was natural, which made people feel very comfortable.
Sister Li Lai Di pushed the door open and saw Qi Meng Meng like this. They were silent for a while.
Qi Mengmeng saw the two of them, stood up from the chair, and put down the sweater in her hand: "Sister-in-law, you two are here, come in and sit down."
"Did we disturb you?" Li Laidi looked at the sweater that Qi Mengmeng had just put down.
"No, I don't have anything to do at home, so you guys can come over and talk to me." Qi Mengmeng said as she let the two people in.
Li Pandi looked at the sweater that Qi Mengmeng put down with curiosity. Li Laidi also walked over, picked it up and looked at it, praising her: "Mengmeng, the pattern you knit is different from others."
"I just saw others knitting like this before, and then I thought about it and knitted it myself. Is there any problem?" Qi Mengmeng knew that her knitting method was different from others, so she found an excuse.
"No problem, it's so beautiful, this sweater will definitely look good on you." Li Lai Di picked it up and looked at it again, "This is pure wool, it feels really comfortable, it will definitely be warm when you wear it."
"This is knitted for my mother. My mother is afraid of the cold." Qi Mengmeng said, took the sweater from Li Laidie's hand, stood up and put it back in the house.
"Sister-in-law, do you have something to do today?" Qi Mengmeng felt that at this time, Li Laidi and Li Pandi were not here to gossip with her.
"I really have something to talk to you about, Mengmeng. You are from a big city and have good taste. I bought a piece of cloth for Pan Di and wanted to make her a dress, but it's like this. I don't know what kind of dress to make?"
Li Lai Di took out the cloth in her hand and showed it to Qi Mengmeng.
This is a piece of light pink fabric with small flowers. It looks a little tacky to Qi Mengmeng, but it is the style that people like nowadays.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to use this fabric to make a top or a skirt?" Qi Mengmeng opened the fabric and took a look. She felt that there was a lot of fabric, so it should be no problem to make a skirt.
Li Lai Di looked back at Li Pan Di before asking Qi Meng Meng, "If it's made into Bragi, do you think it will work?"
"Okay, make some pleats on the collar, like petals, and take it in a little more at the waist, and make pleats on the skirt. It should look good." Qi Mengmeng put the fabric on Li Pandi's body and then expressed her ideas.
Li Laidi and Li Pandi both know how to make clothes. After Qi Mengmeng finished speaking, the two of them almost understood.
A skirt made in this way must be fashionable, and it will definitely look good on Li Pandi.
"Pandi's hair is a little long and has turned yellow at the bottom. I suggest you cut it some and braid it into two small pigtails. It will look better." Qi Mengmeng looked at Li Pandi's face shape again and made some suggestions on her hairstyle.
She was not a hairdresser and did not know much about fashion, but she came from the future and had seen many styles of celebrity actors and actresses, so she just had to copy the styles of similar actors from her previous life.
Today, the Li sisters came over and asked her to make some decisions. She guessed that Li Pandyi was going on a blind date, so she gave some suggestions on Li Pandyi's hairstyle.
Li Laidi took a look at Li Pandi's hair and found that her hair was frizzy and yellow. Although Li Pandi had been eating much better during the time she came, her foundation was poor and it would be difficult to restore her hair in a short time.
"Okay, I'll take you to get a haircut." Li Laidi gritted her teeth and decided to take Li Pandi to the barber shop to get a haircut.
After listening to this, Qi Mengmeng's eyes were full of surprise. Li Pandidi had found such a good partner, and Li Laidi's expectations were so high.
This includes making new clothes and going to the barber shop to get a haircut. The price of all this work is not low.
Li Lai Di also noticed Qi Mengmeng's surprise, but this was Xu Daming's instruction, and she had to listen for the sake of her sister's good.
The two sisters stayed with Qi Mengmeng for an hour, cut out the cloth, and asked Qi Mengmeng for her opinion before going home.
Li Pandi held the cloth in her hand, her eyes reddened, and she whispered, "Sister, this cloth is too expensive."
"As long as your blind date is successful this time, no matter how expensive the fabric is, it will be worth it." Li Laidi took the fabric from Li Pandi's hand and prepared to start sewing.
"If we both sew quickly today, we will definitely be able to finish the clothes. I will take you to get a haircut in the afternoon and I will definitely dress you up beautifully." Li Laidie's eyes were full of expectations.
"Sister, do I really want to marry Captain Lin?" Li Pandi hesitated for a long time before saying, "Sister, do you think he will like me?"
"Why not? You are still so young and capable. He will not lose out if you marry him." Li Lai Di warned Li Pan Di, "Pan Er, this is the best match your brother-in-law can find for you. Although Captain Lin is a little older, he has a high allowance and has promised to give you a 100 yuan betrothal gift. You must not make a fuss."
Li Pandi nodded: "I will definitely not make a fuss. I know my sister and brother-in-law are doing this for my own good. But, but, he has two sons at home..."
"Don't be afraid. Just marry him and be nice to his son. Then you can have your own child and your life will be better," Li Laidie said here, looked outside, and spoke her mind.
"Captain Lin already has a son, so you don't have to bear a son. It's okay to have a daughter in the future."
