"Okay, Brother Ye, do you want to make a set?" The fabric is white, which is quite good.
"meeting?"
"Yes, I can do everything." The child of a poor person has long been a master. She has been making clothes since she was a teenager, and she has not forgotten how to make them after so many years.
"Made for you, cotton."
Ye Mingjie said.
Do you mean to ask her to make a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers?
It would be enough if it were worn close to the body, but it would be a pity.
It would be better to make a cotton lining, and then make a coat to put it in. This way, it is another coat that can be worn when spring comes.
"We don't have cotton at home." Now cotton requires cotton coupons. They do have money and count coupons, but cotton coupons are really difficult to get at this time of winter.
But she didn't expect Ye Mingjie to actually find it, so she didn't know when and where he got so many tickets. Zhao Weilan suspected that someone sent them to him or mailed them, but she didn't encounter them.
"It was a gift from a friend." Ye Mingjie didn't hide anything from her and confessed honestly.
There are two in total, one weighs four jins, and one weighs two and a half jins. They are universal tickets for supply and marketing cooperatives across the country. If they are sent by others, they should be from outsiders, otherwise they should be given to local people.
Yes. This kind of nationwide ticket is quite difficult to find because it is not limited to regions.
"There's so much cotton." I can make two sets.
"I have a coat." Ye Mingjie meant that there is no need to make it for him, he has a military coat. That coat is indeed very warm, but a bit heavy.
"Then you don't have any cotton pants."
"..."
"We still have some old clothes we don't want, so we can take them apart and make them into linings."
"Yeah." It's okay if he can, but he doesn't know how to do it anyway.
Don't say he can't, he can sew and mend, but he can't make clothes.
After Zhao Weilan finished speaking, she started to rummage through the house. She dug out all the things belonging to Mr. Ye, and he didn't object. She was careful when rummaging through it, and as long as there was a bag that was not allowed to be touched, she would not touch it immediately.
Fortunately, the other party remained silent.
It's just that the boss's stuff is really pitiful. There are only two big bags in total, which contain winter clothes, which are still old clothes in military green. The other two small bags are summer clothes and the clothes worn inside.
There are two pairs of cotton-padded jackets and cotton trousers in the old cotton-padded clothes that are really no longer wearable. The fabrics have also been washed away and become soft. They can be removed and made into linings. The cotton inside can also be made into clothes by flicking them.
She did as she was told, taking out the things, cutting them, and then dismantling them. Then she picked the washed cotton and spread it out one by one. She planned to make a vest or a smaller tight-fitting cotton jacket for the boss. This would happen in two days.
You can wear it now, and when it gets colder, I'll put on a coat and it will be even warmer.
Of course, the rest can be used to make two pairs of better cotton shoes.
It just looks like I don’t have any shoes. This is a bit difficult. I have to go to the village to find someone to help me.
She worked very quickly, and in two days she had finished all these old things. Then she took the car to the supply and marketing agency and got more than six kilograms of cotton. She also bought some rags without spending the cloth stamps.
Boss, don't look at these things. It took me a long time to get them. After all, some of the rags are quite wide, more than one meter. If you were thinner, they would be enough to make clothes.
Fortunately, I am in good health, and I have some spare money. I grabbed so much money, only four or five yuan.
I found a piece of brown paper to wrap it up, and then went home happily.
Their commune is not too far from the countryside, only about four or five miles, and it takes about an hour to get home.
Zhao Weilan put the things on the kang and saw that Ye Mingjie had not only tidied up the house, but also washed all the cloths she had removed. They were almost dry now.
Seeing that winter is coming, you should wash all these things. When it freezes in winter, you won't be able to dry things outside.
Every family in the village does this. Even Ye Aiguo and his family are doing laundry today, which is rare. But why are these two women struggling to wash the children's clothes? This has never been seen before?
Zhao Weilan didn't care. She washed some more and dried them in the sun. Then she went to a house in the village to look for men's cotton shoes. When she found them, she would make shoes for Ye Mingjie.
The cold comes from the feet, so these shoes must be made of new cotton.
After cutting off the upper, she found new cotton and cut it to layer it on top. But her hand was held down, and Ye Mingjie said: "Use the old one."
"No, I can't listen to you on this matter. Your legs are afraid of getting cold, so you must not use old ones." This time she firmly opened Ye Mingjie's hand, which made the other party startled for a moment.
Withdrew his hand.
Not to mention that, after his hands were opened, he looked at Zhao Weilan complicatedly, which made her feel confused.
"Brother Ye, I didn't mean to hit you. Isn't this for the sake of your illness? When you get better, how about I make you shoes made of old cotton?" The attitude is very good, with a hint of gentleness.
Wronged.
Ye Mingjie's heart was beating wildly again. This kind of thing has happened more frequently recently. He didn't know that the other party's expression of concern for him was too serious, but he suddenly felt that she was beautiful. What's wrong with that little mouth?
Look how rare it is.
At this moment, he saw her raising her head with a flattering look that struck a chord in his heart. He stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around her neck, and then subconsciously pulled her towards him with force.
