Chen Dou looked at the black thing brought back by the third sister with curiosity. "What is this? Third sister."
"It's called a wheel belt. It can be made into shoe soles that won't break. I'll make a pair of shoes for you and your parents later."
They were not allowed to go back at noon. They were just steaming steamed buns at home, but Chen Miao used Japanese melon and noodles, which were sweet and hot.
They were all very embarrassed. One person ate two of them and drank the cabbage soup.
Chen Miao was a little anxious, but he could still make the cotton-padded clothes. Even if he came over, he could take them away. He asked Sun Yizhen to pick up the cotton-padded shoes, but it was impossible to do it quickly.
In the afternoon, Chen Miao started making shoe soles. She gave each of her parents and younger siblings a pair. Of course, Chen Jiang had two pairs, but she didn't make them herself. Although the straps were not hard, they were still not comfortable to wear, especially for the two children.
will not be given.
Chen Dou was particularly happy. "Third sister, how do you put on your shoes? It's snowing and you don't have to worry about the soles getting wet."
"The soles of the shoes will not get wet, but the uppers will still get wet."
Chen Dou laughed after hearing this. Of course she was curious about this new thing.
The rest of the people who came to work were also envious of shoes with such soles. Even Chen Miao could tell that they were good things without having to say anything.
"Sister-in-law, they are all of this size, but I'd better make them smaller after doing them a few times."
Li Wenquan finally relaxed. "Pull something? Same thing. I'm afraid something will happen."
Li Wenquan didn't say anything. It was tomorrow. It shouldn't be a big deal. He was thinking about giving food? In fact, there was really a shortage.
She stood up as she spoke. It was okay for her to have some contact with a young man when she was older. Xiaofeng's wife was still young, so it was not suitable.
After all, they are both young men, and they are still wearing single clothes. Who doesn't like cotton-padded clothes? The two of them also went to the woodshed to change into them, and when they came out, they had excited expressions on their faces. "Political Commissar, it's so warm."
"Didn't the news come back asking you to go pull something? It shouldn't be a big deal, right? Lao Li, you are really confused."
Li Wenquan just nodded and said nothing.
This time they came by car. Chen Miao liked the fat and strong horse very much. The two young comrades who followed him fed the horse.
"Haha, are you still thinking about the girl?" Song Chengmin said with a smile.
"If you're in a hurry, go over now. I'll take a few people with you. What do you want to give you?"
Women would not have enough to eat during this season, so if they had good food, they would still want to give it to the men and children at home. One person would still have two steamed buns.
Li Wenquan followed behind Chen Miao. "How much is it? I'll go back and apply for you."
Li Wenquan shook his head, "I don't know any girls except Chen Miao."
"Third girl, this cloth is really big, and it's not suitable for paper. You can make underwear for Yun Xin and the others." Zhang Yanhong said.
Li Wenquan looked at the two shoes with their toes exposed and was filled with sadness. He was almost victorious. He would be able to drive the little devil out. When the time comes, he would be the master of the house and he would be able to live a good life.
The two entered the house. Li Wenquan looked at the women working on the kang and felt grateful. The temperature was too low now, and many comrades did not have cotton-padded clothes.
It was just dawn the next day, and everyone came over. They all knew that the news had been passed on, and were waiting for Comrade Li to come over. They didn't know when they would arrive, so they had better prepare to come out first.
He had just finished lunch and heard the noise outside. Chen Miao looked at Li Wenquan outside the door.
Li Wenquan stared at her again. "Okay."
Li Wenquan stared at Chen Miao. After a while, he said, "Okay, I understand. If you don't want money, I will apply for a commendation for you, and the superiors will definitely give you credit."
"Okay, just keep the good pieces of cloth. If you need it, you can use the rags at home to replace them. In fact, there is still a lot left."
Li Wenquan shook his head, "I don't know either, I'll go there now."
Five more people came today, including Chen Miao's second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law. They were responsible for pasting the paper. Yesterday's one has been finalized.
Shen Wufu's wife smiled. "They fit very well. Comrade Li, they are all of the same size. There are some that are not cut. Are the rest larger or smaller?"
Liang Caixia was quite submissive in her heart. Her daughter gave the two of them good things. She was thinking of them. She originally wanted to say not to give it to her daughter and son because they were still young and their feet were still growing, but in the end she didn't say it. These are their sisters. Things about siblings.
"Comrade Li, I made all the money you gave me last time into cotton-padded clothes." After Chen Miao finished speaking, he winked at Li Wenquan twice.
At noon, Chen Dou helped steam the steamed steamed buns. Nothing else, just eating steamed buns was fine.
Chen Miao stopped and said, "I got this money from the little devil, I just don't want the people in the village to know.
The two young comrades outside also came in. They were really envious of the political commissar's new cotton-padded clothes.
Besides, Li Wenquan received news from Erniu, and he just said in general terms that a girl asked him to find him.
Chen Miao did not refuse. This was best. It was really inconvenient for a man to be at home.
Li Wenquan was really touched. Chen Miao was really thoughtful and cooperative.
"Old Song, I'm going over now."
This Chen Miao did not refuse. This is a good thing. It is normal for him to contribute his own money and efforts and give him some reputation.
He was a little overwhelmed with his cotton-padded clothes in his arms and thought, "I'll go to the woodshed."
"You two should change too. Comrade Chen has prepared these."
It's better to go over there as soon as possible. Now we are waiting for news. Their team is waiting for the transfer from above, and they don't know when they will leave.
I do this because I want to do my best without giving me any money."
Chen Miao handed one to Li Wenquan. "Go and put it on and see if there is anything inappropriate. Can you also tell us that this size is okay?"
"Okay, Comrade Li, it's just the right time for you to come. If you leave us the measurements, we won't be able to finish it in one day today. Anyway, we can make cotton shoes the day after tomorrow."
After a while, he came in wearing new cotton clothes and trousers.
The five of them were all moved when they heard it. But they didn't say anything. When they were pasting the paper, they also kept their favorite small floral fabrics and larger pieces of good fabric.
There were women in the room. He went to the east room, and the women here were paper-making, and they all said hello to him.
The soles of the shoes were cut out, and Chen Miao asked Chen Dou to make the uppers. It was a good time to make the shoes.
"It will be dark when you arrive, so let's do it tomorrow." Song Chengmin knew that Chen Miao was married and didn't want his clerk to make mistakes.
He was thinking that Chen Miao must have something important. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
"Put your coat on to save yourself the trouble."
"Yes." The two happily entered the woodshed again.
Li Wenquan entered the room, "Auntie, is there anything we can do?"
"You can't help with this work."
Chen Miao was sewing buttons. "Comrade Li, why don't you go back with the finished product first, and take the rest back with the cotton shoes in a few days."
