He Yuyu was worried about what gift to give to his brother Shazhu for his wedding, so he asked Duan Hongxuan to help her think about it.
But the two ideas that Duan Hongxuan came up with made He Yuyu feel inappropriate. Duan Hongxuan really couldn't think of anything suitable to give to He Yuyu. He spread his hands to show that he was helpless.
He Yuyu thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what to give, so he pestered Duan Hongxuan to give him an idea.
"Brother Hongxuan, can you help me think about it again?" As he said this, he held Duan Hongxuan's arm and kept shaking it.
Duan Hongxuan was so entangled by He Yu that he had no choice but to say, "Stop, stop shaking, I'll help you think about it!
Yes, why not give me two pairs of leather shoes?
This is not expensive!”
He Yuyu thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "This is great!
Just give my brother and sister Yu Li a pair of leather shoes each!"
Just after he finished speaking, He Yuyu grimaced again, "Brother Hongxuan, my brother is okay, but I don't know what size Sister Yu Li wears!"
Duan Hongxuan smiled and said: "If you promise to cook dinner, I will tell you what size shoes Sister Yu Li wears."
"Really? You won't lie to me, right?
How do you know what size shoes Sister Yu Li wears?" He Yuyu looked at Duan Hongxuan suspiciously.
Duan Hongxuan smiled proudly: "As long as I meet someone, I can tell their size at a glance.
Including what size shoes to wear, what length of pants, etc.
How about you cook dinner?"
"Hmph!" He Yuyu pouted angrily, "I do what I do, I know how to bully others!"
"Hahahaha, this is not bullying, I am using my own skills to enjoy the benefits!" Duan Hongxuan looked proud.
"Cut some fruit and eat it!"
"Ah! I'm so angry. You treat me like a servant girl!"
"Tsk, have you ever seen any landlord or wealthy man treat his servant girl so well?
We eat a lot of fish and meat every day, buy new clothes when the season changes, and put the money there for you to take as you please.
Is this a servant girl?"
Seeing Duan Hongxuan spread out on the recliner like a puddle of mud, He Yuyu patted his arm angrily twice, "Just be lazy, you know how to boss me around all day long."
Then he got up and ran into the kitchen to cut and wash fruits.
Duan Hongxuan looked at the back of He Yuyu running into the kitchen and couldn't help but think: "Yuyu is a girl from the city after all. If it were Qin Jingru who could live in this courtyard and ask her to cut some fruit, she would immediately do it without saying a word.
Just went.
Alas, how can we try to get to know Qin Jingru?
This matter cannot be done through Qin Huairu, he must find a way by himself.
Let’s wait until the winter vacation!”
After dinner, the two sat in the courtyard and discussed what they would buy tomorrow. While talking, He Yuyu was holding a small notebook to record.
Soon, the two of them finished their discussion. There wasn't much left anyway. He Yuyu checked it again and read it to Duan Hongxuan to see if there was anything missing.
Finally, after making sure that he had recorded all the things he wanted to buy tomorrow, He Yuyu patted the notebook with satisfaction, "Brother Hongxuan, that's all, there should be nothing missing!"
"There's no need to be so serious, right? The department store is right there, and you can't run away. If you're missing something, you can just buy it at any time!"
"How about that? You have already started school, and I will start school in a day or two.
We are both busy as soon as school starts, and we have to wait until Sunday to go shopping.
There must be so many people in the department store on Sunday, it will be packed to death!"
"Okay! Whatever you want!
By the way, can you sew a quilt?"
He Yuyu shook his head, "I don't know how. Why, Brother Hongxuan, do you want to sew a quilt?"
"Shouldn't I buy quilt covers for your brother tomorrow? I was thinking, since I have bought all the quilt covers, I might as well get some cotton and sew them into two quilts for your brother!
Hi! Just buy another quilt. Since you have to sew a quilt, I also sew a new, thicker quilt for the old lady so that she can be covered when the weather gets cold.
I don’t know if Sister Qin can sew quilts, or else I’ll ask a aunt for help!”
"Sister Qin will be here soon, you ask!
Brother Hongxuan, we need to sew a new quilt, what about the two of us?"
Looking at He Yuyu's expectant eyes, Duan Hongxuan said in a funny voice: "Don't worry, I can't miss you!"
He Yuyu was embarrassed by Duan Hongxuan's smile, and he slapped Duan Hongxuan twice in anger, "What's that look in your eyes? It's like I really want a new quilt!
I asked because you didn’t have a new quilt yet!”
"Okay, okay, my rainwater is caring about me, of course I know."
"Humph!" He Yuyu let Duan Hongxuan go with satisfaction.
"Yu Yu, since we need to sew new quilts, I'll spend some money. Let's find a cotton stretcher and dismantle all the bedding belonging to the old lady, your brother, you and me, and re-spun the cotton inside, and wash the bedding properly.
Wash.
Then I will add more cotton and sew these quilts again for everyone!"
Upon hearing this, He Yuyu nodded quickly, "That's a good idea. I'll ask my brother later to see if he knows where to play cotton."
"Well! You can also ask Mr. Yi and Sister Qin if they want to re-play all the bedding at home!"
"Okay, if we get more people together, it will be cheaper for each family. Why don't we go and ask today?"
"When Sister Qin comes, I'll ask her. I'll go to the old lady and ask her later, so I can ask the aunt."
Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door. Duan Hongxuan knew it was Qin Huairu and the others, so he asked He Yuyu to open the door.
He Yuyu happily ran to open the door, and then came in with Qin Huairu and the others.
Duan Hongxuan asked Shazhu and Qin Huairu to sit down first, "Brother Zhuzhu, do you know where you can find someone who plays cotton?"
"I know! What? Do you want to play your quilt again?"
Duan Hongxuan nodded and said: "Brother Zhuzi, I was talking here with Yuyu just now. The air is getting colder in autumn. I plan to go to the department store with Yuyu tomorrow to buy some long-sleeved coats for us and the old lady. p>
While talking about it, we talked about quilts. Winter will start in two months at most. I was thinking about getting some thicker quilts in the winter. I will get some cotton to sew two new quilts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Having said this, I just want to dismantle the original bedding, take out all the cotton, play it again, wash everything in the bedding, then add some cotton, and sew it into a new one. p>
Then I thought, since I am looking for a cotton quilt here, I will help you and the old lady dismantle the original bedding and make new ones.
Sister Qin, do you think you need this? If so, let’s go together. I’ll ask Auntie later.
Yu Yu just said that if more people join in, it will be cheaper for each family to play cotton.
If I can get new cotton, I can add some to each quilt and sew them into thick new quilts, so I might as well do it all at once!"
"This is a good idea, then let's take down all the quilts in our house!
I'll find the cotton player, and you'll be responsible for getting us new cotton!"
Silly Zhu was very happy after hearing this. He happened to be getting married. How great it was. He made it into a new quilt.
Qin Huairu was also very interested when he heard it, "Hongxuan, is the cotton you bought expensive? We all are taking advantage of you this time."
Duan Hongxuan waved his hand, "Don't worry about cotton. Each family will add a little cotton for you to make your quilt a little thicker. Don't worry about the price of cotton!
But Yu Yu and I don’t know how to sew quilts, so we’ll still have to trouble Sister Qin and Auntie.”
Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she heard this, and happily assured Duan Hongxuan: "No problem, sewing a quilt is nothing.
If you can get cotton, Sister Qin will already get a big advantage!"
Duan Hongxuan looked at Qin Huairu's big belly, thought for a while, and said uneasily: "Forget it, Sister Qin, your belly is so big. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. The quilt to be sewn this time is not
Less.
By the way, you might as well bring Aunt Wu and his family with you, and ask Brother Wu’s wife to help sew the quilt, plus you and Sister Qin, so that your workload can be reduced!"
"It's okay Hongxuan, Sister Qin is not that delicate.
In our countryside, there are a lot of people working in the fields with a big belly!
Cotton is a rare thing these days, can you get so much cotton?" Qin Huairu asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I asked my senior brother, the cotton thing is okay!"
"That's good of you, Hongxuan, thank you so much!"
"Okay, you can do whatever you want, Brother Zhuzhu, the noodles and sauerkraut we eat tonight are all ready-made.
If Sister Qin and Xiaodang want to eat, just scramble some eggs or something and order some noodles. I'll go next door and talk to the old lady and the others about sewing quilts."
"Okay, don't worry about it, I'm here, just go about your business!"
Duan Hongxuan came to the courtyard and met Yan Bugui at the gate, "Hongxuan is here, looking for the old lady again!"
"Hello, third uncle, you are here to eat some food after dinner!" Duan Hongxuan smiled and greeted Yan Bugui.
"I don't dare to eat. I don't have enough food to eat. How can I dare to eat anything?
I am the steward of the courtyard, and I happen to live in the front yard. I must not keep an eye on this gate!"
Duan Hongxuan gave a thumbs up: "The third uncle is really doing his duty, you have worked really hard!"
Yan Bugui waved his hand proudly: "Hey! It's nothing, I should all deserve my share. Who calls me the third uncle!"
"This courtyard house is really indispensable for you, the third uncle.
Third uncle, you’re busy, I’m going to the old lady’s place!”
Duan Hongxuan praised Yan Bugui again, and then ran to the backyard.
The deaf old lady is enjoying the cool air in the yard at the moment. The eldest mother and Aunt Wu are there, as well as the grandchildren of Aunt Wu's family.
Duan Hongxuan stepped forward to say hello, then told the deaf old lady that she needed someone to tidy up the quilt, and asked the eldest mother if she wanted to come with her.
When the aunt heard this, she thought it was a good thing and of course she was willing.
The deaf old lady also happily said yes.
Duan Hongxuan also told Aunt Wu that he wanted her daughter-in-law to help sew the quilt, so that they could also re-spun the quilt together.
Aunt Wu refused repeatedly, "Hongxuan, don't say anything. You have already helped our family a lot. It would be a convenient thing to ask my daughter-in-law to sew quilts for you later, but our family must not take advantage of this."
.
You play your quilt, and you just leave them alone!"
Duan Hongxuan tried to say whatever he wanted, but Aunt Wu just wouldn't let go.
