Chu Tian shook his head. "There aren't many to begin with. How many bites can we eat after we bring them to the main hall? Besides, don't they usually eat delicious food behind our backs less often?"
Yao Xiujuan, “…”
"You can use these things I bought. I'll lie down for a while..."
Chu Tian took off his cotton coat and trousers, lay back on the kang, and stretched comfortably. He had been running all morning and had been exposed to the cold wind for two or three hours. He was almost frozen to death. It was so comfortable to lie on the warm kang now...
Well, he decided that next time he went to the regiment, he would find a chance to take out the sheepskin military coat and sheepskin boots in the space and wear them. This tattered cotton coat was not warm at all...
Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian, who had closed his eyes, with a smile of anticipation for the future on his face. She shook her head helplessly, carefully got off the kang, and packed up the remaining things. Finally, looking at the filled cabinet, she thought to herself that she should find a carpenter to make another cabinet when she had the chance in the future...
Finally, she picked up the floral cloth, thought for a moment, and then picked up the navy blue cotton cloth, put it in a clean basket, and walked out.
Yao Xiujuan came to the Chu family's house next door, and when she saw that the door was not closed, she walked in and stood in the yard and shouted, "Sister-in-law Guihua, are you home?"
Wang Guihua's voice came, "Is that Sister Xiujuan? I'm here, come in quickly..."
Upon hearing this, Yao Xiujuan pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Wang Guihua busy at the sewing machine, "Sister-in-law Guihua, are you making clothes?"
Wang Guihua was the only one in the entire Second Production Team—no, in the entire Seventh Company, among the several teams—who had a sewing machine at home. It couldn't be helped; her family was well-off. Her husband, Li Jianjun, was a company cadre, earning around thirty yuan a month, not to mention a ton of coupons.
The most important thing is that Wang Guihua doesn't have any sisters-in-law or brothers, and her parents-in-law are also good. Her family is considered the most enviable family in the entire company...
Wang Guihua stood up, walked over to Yao Xiujuan, and asked her to sit down. "Well, you have nothing to do, right? Why haven't you come in a long time?"
Yao Xiujuan smiled and said, "Hasn't it been really cold recently with two snowfalls? And my stomach hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so I haven't been out much..."
Yes, the Chu family did not make a fuss about Chu Tian’s serious injury. Also, because it was winter, no one was walking outside, so even Wang Guihua’s family, who lived not far from the Chu family, did not know about it.
Wang Guihua suddenly realized that Yao Xiujuan was pregnant. She asked with concern, "How about you now?"
Yao Xiujuan touched her belly and said with a smile, "Sister Guihua, you see I can go out now, which means I'm fine..."
He paused and looked around, "Oh, by the way, where's Brother Li, Goudan, and Xiaohua?"
Goudan and Xiaohua are Wang Guihua's son and daughter. In the 1960s and 1970s, people thought that children with humble names were easier to raise, so they liked to give their children humble names...
Wang Guihua smiled and said, "The boss took them to the company..."
Yao Xiujuan just asked casually and smiled when she heard it, "I came here today mainly to ask Sister Guihua for a favor..."
Wang Guihua usually had a good relationship with Yao Xiujuan, and knowing that she was not the type to speak without thinking, she asked, "What can I do for you?"
Yao Xiujuan picked up the basket on the ground, took out the piece of floral cloth from it, and handed it to Wang Guihua.
Wang Guihua took it doubtfully, and looked at the floral cloth in her hand with surprise in her eyes. "Oh, did you buy this? This cloth is so beautiful..."
Yao Xiujuan smiled and said, "Sister Guihua knows my craftsmanship. I'm okay at sewing and mending, but when it comes to cutting, my skills are really average. Brother Tian bought this cloth. I think the cloth is good, so I don't dare to use the scissors myself..."
Wang Guihua smiled and said, "Hey, what did I think it was? So it's just for this? That's easy, I'll help you cut it..."
As she spoke, she picked up the floral fabric, stood up, and walked towards where she usually made clothes.
