Chapter 34 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (34)
The first ones to bring the materials were Liu Caifeng and her daughter.
Liu Caifeng is the daughter-in-law of Xu Bainian, Xus fathers next-door cousin. In terms of seniority, Xu Yin wants to call her fourth aunt.
Liu Caifeng brought two pieces of fabric. One was a defective cloth that she and Xu's mother bought at the exchange meeting the year before. She wanted to keep it to make clothes for her grandchildren. At noon, she looked at the three-quarter short-sleeved undershirt that Xu's mother took out to show off. pants suit, and immediately changed his mind.
My wife and I each have one set, and the style is the same as Mrs. Jinhuas.
The other piece is made of light green floral flowers on a white background. She wants to make a new dress for her daughter.
Yin Yin, your sister Meihua is going on a blind date soon. What kind of clothes do you think would be good to make her?
Xu Mei is not fat, but she has a round face. Her short ear-length hair makes her face even rounder. She looks very blessed.
Xu Yin asked her if she had set a date for the blind date. If it was in June, she could wear a skirt.
Round faces are suitable for V-necks. She already had an idea in her mind. She wanted to make a V-neck waist-length skirt. She went back to find some dark green material and made a belt to make her look smart and energetic.
Looking at her few strokes, a beautiful skirt appeared on the paper. Liu Caifeng said without saying a word: "Just do it like this!"
Xu Meihua also nodded with bright eyes: "This is beautiful!"
Xu Yin measured the size of Liu Caifeng and her daughter, and agreed to pick up the clothes before Labor Day. The mother and daughter paid the deposit and left happily.
Not long after, Aunt Agen, who lived in the west of the village and often interacted with Liu Caifeng, also came to Xu's house carrying a basket.
In a bamboo basket covered with coarse cloth, there is a piece of dark red acrylic material lying.
"On my fortieth birthday, Argento bought it from Dahai City. He has been reluctant to make clothes. Argen even laughed at me and wanted to take this piece of material into the coffin."
Why are you willing to take it out today? Xus mother joked.
No, during the first month of the year, I saw that the foreign coat you were wearing looked very good, so I shamelessly came to see Yin Yin.
Thats called a jacket.
Xus mother, who had been educated by her daughter before, now spoke eloquently.
"It was introduced from the UK, and it has just become popular in Haicheng. And let me tell you, this dress is not only good in style, but also neat and does not affect work. Look at the hem and cuffs, they are not sluggish at all."
As Xus mother spoke, she took out her rust-red autumn and winter coat with lining and cloth as a model and showed it carefully.
Aunt Agen immediately decided to make something like this.
Xu Yin measured her size and also agreed on a time.
In fact, not only Liu Caifeng and her daughter and Agen's sister-in-law, but also everyone who heard that the daughter of the old Xu family could also use a sewing machine to make clothes had this idea.
I'm just worried that Xu Yin's work is not good, or that she is just starting out and her craftsmanship is not as good as that of an experienced tailor.
It also costs money to do it, so why find a newbie who will be distressed if the fabric is wasted.
So, just like raising rice flower fish, everyone has a wait-and-see attitude.
Until Xu Meihua came back from a blind date in the town wearing a newly made belted V-neck dress, she shyly expressed that the man liked her very much and would send someone to propose marriage immediately.
The young wives and girls in the village looked at the skirt on her body, and their minds were filled with excitement.
The young wives naturally want to win the hearts of men.
Like Xu Meihua, girls whose families are arranging a blind date want to own a beautiful skirt and then wear it on a blind date...
So that the old Xu family suddenly became popular, and every day there were wives and girls who came to Xu Yin with baskets to make clothes.
When Aunt Agen's jacket is finished, Old Xu's house will become even more lively. It can be described as bustling with people.
Xus mother started counting money until her hands cramped and she couldnt smile from ear to ear. Later, she became distressed and worried that her daughter would be uncomfortable sitting in front of the sewing machine for a long time.
Although she loves money, she also loves her daughter. "If someone comes to you to make clothes again, why don't you find a reason to refuse? Look at how tired you are during this time, and you have lost weight."
Xu Yin looked in the mirror, where did she lose weight?
However, this spring, I actually grew two centimeters taller, reaching about 1.65 meters, and my body shape is more proportional than before.
Look at this small waist. It is obvious that if it is increased by one point, it will be too fat, and if it is reduced by one point, it will be too thin.
Mom, this is just right for me. Dont buy big fat meat. I wont eat it if you do.
You **** girl! Isnt it good for you to replenish your health?
Xu's mother pretended to hit her, but she didn't want to. She muttered a few words and waved her hands angrily.
Forget it, I dont care, Ill just go and watch my rice fish!
Not to mention, the fish raised in the rice fields are really faster than those raised in the river. In just a short time, the largest one weighs almost half a catty.
By the time the rice fields are flooded for harvest in July, the fish will grow to about half a catty, and the big ones may exceed one catty.
Once Xus mother calculated the price difference, she regretted not listening to her daughters advice and raising more.
However, she went to another rice field where fish was raised and found that other peoples fish were not as big as her own. Could it be related to the fish food they fed?
She is comparing, and others are also comparing.
Xu Jianjuns mother, Xu Dajiao, often wandered around Xu Yins rice fields and discovered this problem.
After returning home, he frowned and said to the old man: "Our family and Jinhua's family are almost in front of each other. How come her fish grows so fast?"
Maybe the fry her family bought are bigger than ours.
Impossible! I was there when her house was releasing fish fry. Its not much bigger than mine.
The size of a few of them doesnt mean anything. Maybe these ones are better at eating and grow faster, so people can be fat or thin.
Xu Dajiao still felt something was wrong:
"I've been there several times, and it's true that her fish are bigger than mine. You said I also feed them bran and wheat bran, and let Xiaobao and the others catch insects and earthworms to feed. It's really strange! How about you take the time to ask Guoshun, they are your cousins after all, even though they are separated by a room, they are closer than outsiders."
Xu Guobang glanced at her: "Why don't you ask Guoshun's wife yourself?"
Xu Dajiao glared at him: It's not like she didn't know the relationship between her and Geng Jinhua, whether they were kissing or not, and whether they were stiff or not, how embarrassing it was.
However, before she could convince the old man, the village party secretary summoned several families who raised fish in rice fields and gave a simple popular science class on "how to raise rice fish well", which Xu Yin helped him summarize.
Mainly talk about two points. First, the water for fish farming should neither be changed too frequently nor not be changed all the time. It is best to change it every twenty days. During this period, you need to check frequently. If you find any eggs, kill them as soon as possible. If there are too many eggs, move to another place to raise them.
Second, if the fish food is mixed with vegetable cake residue, it must be thoroughly decomposed before feeding the fish. Do not use the oiled vegetable cake residue directly to mix with fish feed. The fish will easily die if it is not digested.
Vegetable cake scraps? Fish also like to eat this stuff?
Before the old branch secretary had finished speaking, someone asked a question.
Xu Guobang and Xu Dajia also pricked up their ears to listen: Could this be the reason why Xu Yins fish grows so fast?
The old party secretary nodded: "Girl Yin learned this method from a book. This is how her fish are fed. I went to see it and it is indeed good. I didn't tell you at first because I was afraid you wouldn't believe it. Seeing is believing, do you believe it now?
I believe it, thank you Party Secretary! Xu Dajiao smiled happily.
