Chapter 044 Worry about not finishing
Of course Liu Xinyu cannot know what happened to the Zhang family.
At this moment, she was immersed in sorting out the clothes that she could no longer wear and the clothes in Liu Qingshan's bedroom closet that had not been dealt with.
She really has a lot of clothes, and Liu Xinju can wear at least seven or eight outfits.
Liu Xinyu did not pack all these clothes for Liu Xinju. Her aunt Liu Lifang's family had a cousin Jiang Yumei who was the same age as Liu Xinju.
Although I haven't met anyone from my aunt's family yet, I can't be too unfavorable.
According to spring, autumn, summer and winter, I picked two clothes each and divided them into two piles and put them on the bed.
Liu Lifang also has an eldest daughter named Jiang Yuzhu, who is only one year younger than Liu Xinyu. She is not tall, more than half a head shorter than her. Of course, Shuang Liu Xinju and Jiang Yumei are half a head taller. Of course, you can find clothes that suit her.
.
Liu Xinyu rummaged through her clothes and quickly picked out a suit suitable for Jiang Yuzhu according to spring, autumn, summer and winter, and put them together with the clothes for Jiang Yumei.
It took more than an hour for Liu Xinyu to sort out three bags, two large and one small.
Inside the small bundle were the clothes she gave Liu Xinju.
One of the two big baggage was for my aunt's two cousins, and the other was clothes sorted out from Liu Qingshan's bedroom.
In fact, Liu Qingshan doesn't have many good clothes. Except for one or two pieces of clothes that he wears when going out every season, the rest are almost full of patches.
Liu Xinyu sorted out the clothes that were in good condition and had relatively few patches and packed them into baggage.
Liu Qingshan, Liu Qingsong and Liu Houxing are all about the same height and shape, so they can wear each other.
Liu Xinyu planned to take apart those patched-up clothes.
When I had free time, I picked fabrics of similar colors and fineness and made several clothes for the third and fourth children of my second uncle’s family.
Those rags that really cannot be used to make clothes can of course be reused, such as used to make shoe soles.
I glanced at the alarm clock on the long table in the main room and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. No wonder I felt a little sleepy.
But why haven’t the eel catchers come back yet?
Something must have happened.
Taking out the flashlight from her bag, Liu Xinyu planned to go out and take a look.
Before she could turn around and go out, soft footsteps could be heard outside the yard.
came back!
Liu Xinyu quickly walked out of the main room, and happened to face the Liu family who opened the courtyard door and came in.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Chen Zhaodi frowned slightly when she saw Liu Xinyu coming out of the room neatly dressed.
"If you didn't come back, I wouldn't be able to sleep, so I tidied up the wardrobe." Liu Xinyu said while shining a flashlight on the iron tube that Liu Qingsong was carrying, "It's a good harvest!"
"It's not bad. The catching time today is longer than yesterday, which is about the same as yesterday. I don't know how those cages are, but I'm really worried that I won't catch enough!" Chen Zhaodi watched Liu Qingsong pour the eels into the water tank and sighed.
.
Although today's harvest was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, Liu Xinyu was not that worried. While carrying water, she urged everyone to wash themselves with well water and go back to bed. There were still about four hours before they had to go to the river to set up cages.
"Second brother, you have to go to work tomorrow. Hurry up and go back to bed with Xin Xin. Don't worry about putting up the cage. Your dad and I will get up tomorrow. We will sleep here today." Chen Zhaodi seemed to have made a plan.
Urging Liu Qingshan to go back to his old house and sleep.
The whole night was silent, and it seemed that just as I closed my eyes and fell asleep, I heard Chen Zhaodi's rustling sound of getting up.
Liu Xinyu sighed silently, rubbed her head that was slightly swollen due to lack of sleep, and sat up from the bed resignedly.
Chen Zhaodi, who was getting dressed, noticed the movement around her. When she turned around, she saw that Liu Xinyu had already sat up, rubbing her eyes. She reached out and patted Liu Xinyu, "You continue to sleep. Just leave the cage to me and your father."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I have to go see for myself and confirm the location of the cage tonight." Liu Xinyu shook her head with obvious sleepiness in her voice.
Chen Zhaodi no longer forced herself. When her grandfather and grandson came out of the bedroom, Liu Houxing in the other bedroom also got up.
Carrying an iron bucket, the three people quietly left the village and came to the river in the dim morning light.
Although not every cage contained eels, the harvest was pretty good, and we even harvested an eel that can be called the king of eels.
"Hey, this eel probably weighs more than a kilogram. One piece can make a big dish!" Liu Xinyu was very happy looking at the eel swimming in the water tank.
There are about seventeen or eight kilograms of eels in the water tank. If Director Shan had not made any request, these eels would be enough.
"These eels, ranging from big to small, are still several kilograms short of Director Shan's requirements. I don't know if they can be completed tonight." Liu Houxing reached into the water tank and fished them out, sighing, looking a little anxious.
"Master, don't worry about not being able to finish the job. Don't worry. I've already made a decision. Let's go to that corner to put down the cage in the evening. The water flow in that place is slower, the water and grass are fatter, and the harvest will definitely be more." Liu Xinyu persuaded with a smile:
"Master, grandma, it's still early, let's go back to sleep."
The old couple had something on their mind, so they did not go back to the bedroom to rest, but hurried back to the old house.
Liu Xinyu was really sleepy. She watched the two old people leave and went back to the bedroom to sleep in her cage. When she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Moreover, she didn't wake up by herself, but was awakened by a knock on the door.
The person who knocked on the door was Zhang Hongyun. Liu Xinyu rolled on the bed irritably, but she also knew that she could no longer sleep.
"Why are you still sleeping? The sun is already high!" Zhang Hongyun pouted when Liu Xinyu opened the door with a yawn.
Liu Xinyu did not answer Zhang Hongyun directly, but pointed to the main room: "The clothes are on the sewing machine, try it on quickly and see if you are satisfied with it!"
Zhang Hongyun's thoughts were immediately diverted, and she quickly ran to the main room.
What a kid!
Liu Xinyu shook her head, turned around and went to the well to wash up.
Making clothes is really a trivial matter for Liu Xinyu. It doesn't take much to think about it, but she knows that Zhang Hongyun will definitely be very satisfied.
Sure enough, after Liu Xinyu finished washing and returned to the bedroom, she saw Zhang Hongyun, who had put on new clothes, taking photos again and again in the half-length mirror in Liu Xinyu's bedroom. She looked so beautiful.
After the beauty is over, it's time for Zhang Hongyun to chatter and gossip.
The content of today’s gossip is of course yesterday’s negotiation between the Zhang family and the Chen family and what happened to the Zhang family last night.
After communicating with Zhang Hongliang in person last night, Liu Xinyu was in a relaxed mood, and of course she was in the mood to listen to Zhang Hongyun's chatter.
After eating breakfast that she didn’t know when or who brought it, Liu Xinyu unpacked her old clothes while listening to the gossip.
That morning, Liu Xinyu listened to a lot of gossip and made two sets of clothes for the third and fourth sons of her second uncle's family.
At noon, I went to the old house for dinner, and Liu Xinyu brought the clothes she had sorted out.
Looking at the two big bundles of clothes, Wang Sanmei was so happy that she gave Liu Xinyu something to eat.
Chapter completed!
