Chapter 8 The Feeling of Home

The room was very quiet, and Yi Chuanzong looked around casually.

Except for the Eight Immortals table where three people are currently sitting, the furniture here is very simple.

There is a small canopy bed on the south side of the house. The plaid mattress is stretched very flat. There are two quilts with dots on the inside. It looks a bit old-fashioned, but most of the fabrics at this time are like this.

.

There is a large yellow-brown wardrobe next to it. The outer layer has not been spray-painted, but it has been roasted by fire. It may be due to its age, and the color of the surface is a bit dull, but it looks quite smooth, and the wavy wooden texture is also very clear.

Further north are two wooden seat-type sofas with a small wooden table in the middle.

There is also a rusty stove at the door. It seems to be quite old at first glance. The weather is not too cold now and it has not started burning yet.

The northernmost one is a wooden cabinet 1.8 meters high. The lower cabinet has two diamond-shaped cabinet handles. The upper cabinet is narrower laterally. The cabinet is open and is now covered with a piece of navy blue cloth.

It still has a faint smell of meat, maybe there is intestines in it?

The room is very simple, even poor.

Maybe this is good for people nowadays, but for Yi Chuanzong, it must have been very simple. When he was a child, his home was much better than here. At that time, there were still 20-inch black and white TVs and the like.

But after looking around carefully, Yi Chuanzong felt like he was at home, and he felt much more settled.

"Pass on the ancestral line." Yi Zhonghai thought for a long time before shouting.

"Uncle, please tell me." Yi Chuanzong's voice echoed in the house.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "When you come to the city now, it won't be the same as in the village. To live here, you have to have a skill and use your brain more."

"Uncle, don't worry, I have no problem with my mind now, I can do whatever you arrange!" Yi Chuanzong replied seriously.

Yi Zhonghai nodded again, with no sign of agreement or suspicion on his face.

"I will inquire about the situation in the past few days and try to get you to work in the steel rolling mill. I can also teach you well here. As long as you study hard, there will be no problem!"

Although he said this, Yi Zhonghai was a little unsure. Locksmith was a technical job. There were so many people and there were not many locksmiths above level six. He was really not sure whether Yi Chuanzong could do it well.

However, since he was also learning a craft, he still wanted Yi Chuanzong to try it out in the factory first. After all, this was the most promising trade with him teaching him.

If that didn't work, he would have no choice but to find a job for Yi Chuanzong that relied entirely on strength.

"I listen to you!" Yi Chuanzong grinned and said loudly.

Yi Zhonghai stretched out his hand and pressed his temples. He looked quite well-behaved, like a stupid boy. He felt happy when he saw it, but he couldn't get used to the voice for a while.

Standing up, Yi Zhonghai walked to Yi Chuanzong and patted his shoulder so hard that his hands hurt a little from the shock.

A smile spread across his face, "I don't know how you look, why are you so big?"

Yi Chuanzong chuckled, feeling very proud in his heart. Having a good body was better than anything else, but the expression on his face looked a little shy.

Yi Zhonghai turned to the aunt and said, "You go and get the hair scissors to cut your hair. Don't you still have some cloth stamps at home? Pull some cloth and make him some clothes. He is such a big man, so he has to pay attention to his image. I'll go

Take care of the house."

The eldest mother nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take Chuanzong out for a while, but where are you going to get a house?"

Yi Zhonghai confidently tugged at the corner of his coat, then stroked it twice, "Don't worry about it, you'll know when you get back!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai walked boldly outside, his back much straighter than before.

"Uncle, thank you!" Yi Chuanzong grinned and shouted outside.

Yi Zhonghai didn't even look back, he just turned sideways and waved his hand behind.

"De Xing!" The aunt rolled her eyes, and then said to Yi Chuanzong with a kind face, "Wait for aunt to get some money, and let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something on the street. On your first day here, aunt will give you some

Make something delicious."

Yi Chuanzong recalled the twenty big buns he had just eaten at that time. Could he not count how much he wanted to eat? Just get enough of it once.

So he said softly, "Auntie, as long as you can eat enough, I have a big appetite, so I don't need to spend so much money."

"You kid, what's the cost? Just wait!"

After saying that, the aunt started to take the money directly from the big wardrobe next to the bed without any hesitation.

Yi Chuanzong didn't look that way. The old couple had saved more or less money. Now he wanted to earn some money on his own. Not only did he not become a burden to the system, but he also couldn't keep gnawing at the uncle.

The most important thing is to find a wife. With such a slow pace of life and no entertainment activities, he will never be single in this life!

The aunt over there drew ten yuan and took some food stamps, cloth stamps and meat stamps. When closing the closet, she paused, looked down at the stamps in her hand, and then took some more.

Turning around, the aunt suddenly smiled. Yi Chuanzong was frowning at the east wall. This look was somewhat similar to Yi Zhonghai just now.

"Child, what are you thinking about? You have a sad face. Don't worry, since you are here, uncle and aunt will definitely settle you in. As long as you work hard after you go to work, our family's life will be better and better!" said the aunt kindly.

.

Yi Chuanzong came to his senses immediately, but he did not hide anything. He said with some embarrassment, "I am calculating how much money I can earn in a month to support myself, and I also want to earn money to marry a wife."

The eldest mother smiled softly, feeling happy for his progress, and comforted him, "Don't worry, let's take it step by step, and finish the things in front of you first. Come on, stand up and I will measure it for you. Go out and buy some cloth."

I know when the time comes."

Yi Chuanzong nodded and stood up, opening his arms at the same time.

The aunt over there took a small cloth ruler and put it through his waist. As the small cloth ruler tightened, she smiled and said, "It looks quite strong, but not as fat as I thought. He is 2 feet 7."

Waist, arms straight."

Yi Chuanzong grinned. He didn't know anything about making clothes. All he had to do was cooperate. Seeing his aunt constantly making gestures on his body and standing on tiptoes from time to time, he felt warm in his heart.

After all, the clothes you buy are less thoughtful than those you make yourself.

In my previous life, I was delivering express delivery through ups and downs, so I only had to wear warm clothes. I could barely make ends meet with a salary of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, and after paying off the mortgage, I didn’t want to delay others, and I didn’t think about marrying a wife, so I didn’t pay much attention to my image. My clothes were all there.

Buy whatever you want online.

But now, he has an expectation for this outfit, feeling like he was a child wearing new clothes for the New Year.

After measuring, the aunt nodded and said, "It's okay. I know it in my mind. When I do it, I will make it a little bigger and wear it loosely."

Yi Chuanzong felt a little panicked in his eyes, so he smiled and said, "Auntie, just watch and do it. I don't understand this anyway."

Nowadays, you need cloth tickets to buy clothes, which is twenty-four feet per person per year.

In the past, Yi Chuanzong also had cloth tickets in the village, but it was difficult to even eat enough. They were all replaced by rice. Whoever got the ticket would have to pay more attention to how many meals he had.

Twenty-four feet may not sound like a lot, but a shirt requires seven feet of cloth. Yi Chuanzong must be taller than that. Every household uses it for calculations. Now the aunt is using the two to celebrate the New Year.

Used to make clothes for him.

Moreover, clothes are light industrial textiles, and anything with an industrial aspect is expensive. Now he doesn’t know what kind of cloth to use to make his clothes, and the specific price is hard to say.

However, a shirt costs six yuan from the supply and marketing cooperative, and a pair of socks costs more than one yuan. It takes three years to get a new one, three years to get an old one, and another three years to mend it.

It is definitely cheaper to make it yourself, but the things sold now are all honest and not much cheaper.
