Chapter 12 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (12)
Her little Douding, however, was sitting on the threshold with an unhappy expression.
“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'll bring you something delicious."
Grandma Geng gave Xu Yin a bag 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 eats one for herself, leaves two more for her parents, and gives the rest to her nephew.
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 from a matchmaker."
“You can just eat it yourself, why do you do it for me?”
Xu’s mother gave her an angry look, and then smiled.
The sugar **** 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 going up the mountain. My grandmother and aunt were both in good condition, but Junbao fell into the stream while playing..."
Xu Yin talked 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, and your aunt always spends one penny as two cents. Although she doesn't feel bad about spending it on military treasures, she still saves money. If you don't go on this trip, Send her, she definitely won't go to the hospital, and children can't talk about it. It would be bad if the root of the disease is left."
The plot of Xu Yinxin Daoyuan is not like this.
You 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.
As the two women were talking, footsteps came from outside the house.
“Is Golden Flower here?”
“Here!” Xu’s mother responded in a loud voice.
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 evening. It was cut open on the spot and stewed in a pot of milky white fish soup with the bacteria Xu Yin brought.
At meal time, the family sat down to eat.
“Hey! What a good day it is today? There is fish and meat!”
Daddy Xu was so happy that the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes wrinkled into chrysanthemums.
“Some food can’t stop your mouth!”
Xu’s mother said something to him every day. Then everyone was given a spoonful of fish soup in their bowl, but Xu Yin's bowl had the most fish belly meat.
But for some reason, I always feel a little uncomfortable when drinking fish soup. I couldn't hold it back for a while and retched twice. When I raised my head, my face was pale.
Xu Yin was startled and almost tripped over the stool. She 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 am definitely pregnant, I estimate it is two months old.
The eldest son came back during the Qingming Festival, so it must have been around that time.
Xu’s mother didn’t show any emotion 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 descendants?
When Xu Yin heard about it, her heart dropped.
The original plot is that Sister-in-law Xu almost gave birth to a miscarriage without knowing she was pregnant. After that, she suffered from all kinds of hardships, not only premature birth but also difficult labor.
This time I was diagnosed with pregnancy in advance, and I look good. I will pay more attention, hoping that the plot in the novel will 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, you should wait a little longer 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’m just sitting and making 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 extremely satisfied with this job. She is not afraid of being busy, but she is afraid of not being able to accept 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 sister-in-law, wouldn't she be running into 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. 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.
No matter how Xu Yin tried to persuade her, she still worked at the original speed.
…
There are also tailors in the city who have recently begun to make overalls and pinch-waist shirts. Tong Guihua pointed to a girl from No. 3 Middle School next door to Xu Yin:
“Well, her grandpa’s tailor shop just copied the styles we have, so shameless!”
Xu Yin took a look at the girl's clothes. They were indeed very similar to the overalls and floral 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 belts on the legs? Is there a belt loop on the waistband?”
"Haha! Did you see it all? You have such sharp eyes! It's true, it's not. Most of it is to save money. The price is two yuan cheaper than before, just pick out 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 smacked her tongue: "... Then there are still people who go to her house to make clothes?"
"Then what can we 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 okay, 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, but 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. Ah! My confidence is blown away."
