Her little Douding was sitting on the threshold with an unhappy look on his face.
"Doudou!"
"Are you fat?"
Little Douding jumped up happily when he saw her.
"What happened just now? Who bullied you?"
"No, but they are always squatting in front of our house, and the scent has been taken away by them."
"...Hahaha!" Xu Yin couldn't help laughing and scratched the bridge of her nephew's nose, "It's just a sniff, don't be so stingy. Come in quickly, I will bring you something delicious."
Grandma Geng gave Xu Yin a pack of maltose balls, and the villagers asked her to thank the matchmaker for the gift.
Xu Yin is no longer the Xu Yin she used to be. She knows how to share delicious food. She ate one for herself, left two more for her parents, and gave the rest to her nephew.
After licking the sweet maltose ball, Little Douding grinned happily.
"Mom, I'm back." Xu Yin came to the kitchen and stuffed a piece of maltose into Xu's mother's mouth. "Grandma gave it to me. She said it was given to me by a matchmaker."
"You can just eat it yourself. Why do you do it for me?"
Xu's mother gave her an angry look, then smiled again.
The sugar balls made of maltose are really sweet.
My daughter is becoming more and more sensible and filial.
"How are your uncle's family? Is your grandma not suffering from rheumatism?"
"When I went there, my uncle had not returned from the mountain. Grandma and aunt were both in good condition. It was just that Junbao fell into the stream while playing..."
Xu Yin rambled about the situation at her grandmother's house.
Xu's mother nodded: "You are right to do that. Life in your uncle's family is tight. Your aunt always spends one penny as two cents. Although she doesn't feel bad about spending it on military treasures, it saves money after all. If you don't go on this trip,
If you send her, she will definitely not go to the hospital, and children won’t know how to talk. It will be bad if the root of the disease is left."
The plot of Xu Yin Xin Daoyuan is not like this.
It should be fine now, right?
Her small wish is to stay far away from the heroine, and her close family members will not be cannon fodder. She has no other big ambitions.
While the two women were talking, footsteps came from outside the house.
"Is Jinhua here?"
"Yes!" Xu's mother responded loudly.
It turned out to be the sixth aunt next door.
Unable to resist the little grandson's insistence, he brought over a palm-wide grass carp and expressed with embarrassment:
I want to exchange two pieces of braised pork with the Xu family.
Aunt Six is a nice person, and the two families often help each other and keep in touch.
Xu's mother changed it for her.
The grass carp was not kept until night, but was cut open on the spot, and mixed with the bacteria brought by Xu Yin to stew a pot of milky-white fish soup.
When it's time for dinner, the family sits down to eat.
"Hey! What a good day today is? There is fish and meat!"
Father Xu was so happy that the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes turned into chrysanthemums.
"Some of them won't stop your mouth!"
Xu's mother scolded him as usual. Then she gave everyone a spoonful of fish soup, but Xu Yin's bowl had the most fish belly meat.
But Sister-in-law Xu was still very happy, because her mother-in-law also scooped up the fish soup and divided the fish meat for her, and then she was also given a small piece of braised pork with chopsticks.
But for some reason, I always feel a little uncomfortable when I drink fish soup.
I couldn't hold it back for a while, so I retched twice, and my face turned pale when I raised my head.
Xu Yin was startled, almost tripped over the stool, and asked worriedly:
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Could it be that there were too many orders and my sister-in-law was exhausted?
Xu's mother is someone who has been here before. When she saw this posture, she had an idea:
"Isn't it already there?"
So, after having a few bites of rice, I took my daughter-in-law to the barefoot doctor at the end of the village to get a pulse.
I'm sure I'm pregnant, I think it's been two months.
The eldest son came back during the Qingming Festival, so it must have been around that time.
Xu's mother didn't show it on her face, but she was very happy in her heart.
The old Xu family has an heir again. Who would think that there are too many children and grandchildren?
After Xu Yin heard about it, her heart dropped.
The original plot was that Sister-in-law Xu almost gave birth to a miscarriage without knowing she was pregnant. After that, she suffered all kinds of hardships from her original mother, not only premature birth but also dystocia.
This time I was diagnosed with pregnancy in advance, and I looked good. I would pay more attention, hoping that the plot in the novel would not happen again.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that the first three months is a dangerous period. If you don't want to put on clothes, take it easy and wait until three months have passed before doing it. I will explain it to my classmates and they will understand."
Xu Yin brought a bowl of brown sugar water to her sister-in-law's room and persuaded her in a slow voice, for fear that she would be tired.
Sister-in-law Xu waved her hands repeatedly:
"It's not a problem. I'm just sitting and working on the sewing machine. I'm not tired at all. Really! I'm not tired at all! You're talking about people from the city. There are no such rules in the countryside. There are people who work in the fields with their stomachs full.
, I just sit and make clothes, it’s already very relaxing. Really! Don’t tell your classmates, they will think you are boring and won’t want to work with you in the future.”
She is very satisfied with this job. She is not worried about being busy, but she is worried about not being able to take it.
Xu Yin heard what she said and thought about it.
What if she didn't take over the work for her sister-in-law, but her mother arranged a lot of heavy and rough work for her, wouldn't she be following the plot again?
"Okay, sister-in-law, just watch and do it slowly. Anyway, the old tailors in the city are always very slow in making clothes. The delivery time of summer clothes is half a month. We are already much faster than him. We can get the goods."
The salary is two yuan less than him, so the classmates will only be happy and will never say anything."
Sister-in-law Xu nodded and said nothing more.
Anyway, no matter how Xu Yin tried to persuade her, she still worked at the original speed.
…
Recently, some tailors in the city have started making overalls and pinch-waist shirts. Tong Guihua pointed to a girl from No. 3 Middle School next door to Xu Yin:
"Well, it's just the tailor shop owned by her grandfather that makes the same styles as we have. It's so shameless!"
Xu Yin took a look at what the girl was wearing, and found that it was indeed very similar to the overalls and floral pinch-waist shirt she was wearing.
It's like a genuine product meets a high imitation, you really can't tell the difference unless you look carefully.
But look carefully...
"The pockets of her pants are not big enough, and they don't have buttons? There are no drawstrings at the bottom of the pants? Are there belt loops on the waistband?"
"Haha! Did you see it all? Your eyes are really sharp! It's true, it's not. Most of it is to save money. The price is two yuan cheaper than before, just pick it from the fabrics and ingredients! They don't make it like yours.
After finishing, the remaining fabric is returned. No matter how much fabric they have, they use it as rags and never return it."
Xu Yin clicked her tongue: "... Then there are still people who go to her house to make clothes?"
"Then what can I do? There are not many experienced tailors in our county, and they are the only one here. Fortunately, the price is clear, so we can only cut the fabric as accurately as possible to avoid wasting it. Now it's better, your sister-in-law will
I'll be looking for your home to make clothes from now on! Oh, by the way, my sister is getting engaged next month and asked me to make a red skirt. I also brought the material. It's chiffon and soft yarn. We can't buy it here yet.
Well, my sister asked a friend to bring it from Haicheng, is it okay with your sister-in-law?"
"Your sister trusts me so much?" Xu Yin said with a smile.
"Ahem, actually she went to the tailor shop and asked about it. She was told that she couldn't make it in time and she had to pay more to jump in line. So I patted my chest and said that I could do it for her, and it was more fashionable than the tailor shop. You must help me complete this task.
