Ye Tian was reading the letter Ye Dajiang wrote to him.
The letter briefly mentioned that he was injured during a mission, so he didn't know so many things happened at home.
Xu Nanxing told him everything about the family and told Xiao Yetian not to panic, saying that he would come back to deal with it as soon as he recovered from his injuries.
Seeing this, Ye Tian finally felt relieved.
He had no idea that his second uncle was injured before.
I always thought that the other party lost contact with the troops because he was on a secret mission.
I didn’t think too much about it because I received a telegram from my second uncle reporting that he was safe, so I didn’t tell him about what happened at home.
Because I couldn't explain it clearly whether I called or wrote, I planned to wait until my second uncle came back to visit before telling him.
Fortunately, after Sister Xu learned that her second uncle was injured and hospitalized, she went to visit him and told him about the family situation.
When it comes to family matters, my second uncle still has to make the decisions!
Xu Nanxing noticed that the clothes worn by the two little guys had been repaired at the damaged parts.
Although there were more patches, other children in the village were also covered with patches. The older children passed their worn-out clothes to the younger children, so they were not conspicuous wearing patched clothes.
"Is there any lady in the village who can sew? I just bought some cloth. You two can take the cloth and go find an lady who is good at sewing. She can make a new set of clothes for each of you!"
You two are growing so fast that the clothes you're wearing are a little too small. Now that I've bought some fabric, let's make you some clothes that fit you!
You guys are more familiar with each other! Well... After all, when it comes to taking fabric, it's better to find someone who is more reliable. At least someone who won't take advantage of you, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
The two children were in the growing stage, and the clothes they wore must have been worn for a long time. There were no adults at home to help take care of them, so they had been living in old clothes.
Ye Tian is a boy who takes good care of his sister, but he is a bit rough when it comes to small things.
Xu Nanxing discovered it and pointed it out immediately.
Anyway, the cotton in her space can now be woven into cloth, so there will be plenty of cloth to use in the future.
This whole set of machines cost her 1 million, and she doesn’t know how long it will take to get her money back!
However, the 50 acres of cotton will be harvested in a week. By then, we will be familiar with the weaving process and can weave more cloth.
And when it comes to finding someone to make clothes, it’s better to be cautious.
After all, the people living in this house are all weak and powerless.
When Ye Tian heard Sister Xu point out that his and his sister's clothes were too small, he realized that his sister's sleeves and trouser legs were indeed too short.
I felt upset that I was so careless.
Fortunately, Sister Xu bought some cloth and brought it back for them, which was just enough to make clothes.
The villagers almost all make their own clothes, and many of the aunties can do it.
Which lady in the village has the best cooking skills?
Ye Tian was in a dilemma and he didn't know what to do.
Forget it, as long as the clothes fit well.
For example, Aunt Chen next door can make clothes.
The patches on their clothes were made by Aunt Chen Si.
And Aunt Chen Si usually takes good care of them.
"Aunt Chen next door makes clothes. After Mom passed away, she often helped us. Last time we went to the police station, it was Aunt Chen who helped us get a certificate. Can we ask her to make clothes for us?"
"You decide! Go find someone to help you. Bring the fabric and five dollars for the processing fee! Bring your sister with you and have Aunt Chen take your measurements."
During this period, the labor processing fee for a tailor to help make clothes was generally around 1-2 yuan per piece of clothing.
I remember that the original owner asked a tailor in Beijing to make clothes for him. The tailor charged him 1.6 yuan for a piece of clothing and 1.2 yuan for a pair of pants.
It might be cheaper in the countryside, so let Ye Tian take 5 yuan with him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian obediently took out 5 yuan, took the cloth, and took his sister to the next door.
Xu Nanxing had no intention of going with them.
Ye Tian must learn to make his own decisions on these matters.
Moreover, the Ye brothers and sisters have been living next door for so many years and have become familiar with each other. Ye Tian and the others can just go by themselves.
On the other side, Ye Tian brought his sister to Aunt Chen's house next door.
Her family's Zhuzi saw the Ye brothers and sisters first and asked in surprise, "Xiaotian and Xiaoyu, why are you here? What's going on?"
This little boy Zhuzi is a kind-hearted person.
The day before, when Zhang Chunhong and her brother came to Ye Tian’s house to force him to give up his job.
In order to help Ye Tian, Xu Nanxing used two candies as errand fees and found the little boy Zhuzi.
Following her instructions, Zhuzi invited the village chief to come and stabilize the situation, successfully helping Ye Tian keep his job and get back the compensation from his father.
The little boy Zhuzi, who has hidden his merits and fame, was playing at home when he saw Ye Tian and Ye Yu running to his house.
"Is Aunt Chen Si at home? I need her help with something!"
Aunt Chen Si, who heard the noise, also came out. After hearing Ye Tian's words, she immediately asked softly, "Xiaotian, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Aunt Chen also felt sorry for the two children of the Ye family and was willing to lend a hand if they needed help!
"Auntie, Xiaoyu and I are wearing too short clothes. I'd like to ask you to make us new clothes. I've brought all the fabric!"
So that's what happened. Aunt Chen Si readily agreed: "No problem, my skills in making clothes are pretty good! Come in, I'll take your measurements!"
When they entered the house and took out the tape measure to measure Ye Tian's size, Aunt Chen Si discovered something and laughed, "Oh, you two little fools! Your sleeves and trouser legs are hidden! Children grow fast, so clothes made for children will be hidden a little. If you think it's too short, just remove the extra thread at the cuff and the sleeves will become longer."
As he said that, he took out a pair of scissors and removed the excess thread on the cuffs and trouser legs of the two little guys.
The sleeves and trouser legs fit me immediately.
Of course Xu Nanxing didn't know about this kind of thing, so he hadn't thought about it before.
Ye Tian looked at the well-fitting clothes and was a little hesitant.
But thinking of Sister Xu's usual catchphrase "Since I'm here now", he thought that since he had all the cloth, he might as well make a new set of clothes.
Having made the decision, Ye Tian immediately said, "Aunt, look, we're already here. Why don't you make us a new set of clothes? Hide some fabric in the cuffs and trouser legs so we can wear them when we grow older!"
This “since you’re here” really has magic, and Aunt Chen Si was convinced.
Anyway, the second son of the Ye family is still in the army. I heard from the village chief that the second son of the Ye family has reported back to the army.
All the other members of the Ye family are gone, leaving only two children.
In the past, the money and bills that Ye Laoer sent back were enough to support the whole family.
Wouldn’t it be easier to support only two children now?
Making clothes is not a difficult task.
"By the way, what happened to your second uncle when he lost contact?"
