Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 39 Photos
Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, my sister-in-law made new clothes for the family.

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, my sister-in-law took out the new clothes and put them on the bedside, and said to the whole family: "Try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I'll take it off and change it."

The family is still very happy to have new clothes. This is also the reason why several children go to technical secondary schools this year. Those who go to work can do odd jobs even if they don’t have a job. It was a bit more spacious, so my sister-in-law generously made new clothes for the family.

At this time in previous years, I only sewed and mended old clothes, disassembled and washed them, and connected or let go of short ones. I seldom made new clothes.

"Mom, is this my new dress?" Zhao Xiaoping asked incredulously while holding the clothes. One must know that when she was admitted to a technical secondary school last year, one was to celebrate, and the other was to prevent her from losing face in front of her classmates. Made two new clothes.

Those two sets of clothes not only used up the cloth tickets in the house, but also collected a lot from the neighbors, which were just returned this year.

She thought that even if she made new clothes, she would not have her own. After all, her two new clothes were still [-]% to [-]% new because she loved them more.

"Who doesn't belong to you, see who in the family can wear it." Zhang Guifang said angrily, "If you don't wear it, bring it to me."

"Hey, I didn't think of it!" Zhao Xiaoping hugged her new clothes tightly, turned her head and ran towards her room: "Mom, I'll go and try it on."

"Slow down, watch your step." After Zhang Guifang reminded her, she began to mutter again: "You are not young anymore, so be quiet, you really don't look like a girl at all."

The family changed their clothes excitedly, stood in front of the only small mirror, looked around, combed their hair from time to time, tidied their clothes, and turned left and right.

Zhang Guifang looked at it and said: "Okay, okay, take it off if it fits, don't get it dirty, and put it on again on the first day of the new year."

"Mom, I'll keep it by myself, and I promise it won't get dirty." Zhao Feng covered his clothes, ran back into the house, and shouted loudly.

He had just talked about a partner, who was in full swing. A few days ago, he made an appointment to go to the movies tomorrow, and he happened to wear this outfit then.

"Sister-in-law, where's yours?" Zhang Yu looked, but didn't see sister-in-law's new clothes.

"I have clothes, and besides, I'm so old, why do I need new clothes?" In fact, the cloth tickets obtained from shopping were not enough, so she was reluctant to make them for herself.

"Mom, let me wear mine for you." Seeing that Zhang Guifang had no new clothes, the family knew that the sister-in-law must not be willing to make them for themselves. Zhao Xiaoping came out of the room with the new clothes in her arms, and handed the new clothes to Zhang Guifang.

"I have clothes, but how can I wear your flowers!"

"Then wear mine, tell me what new clothes I, a man, make, just wear some, and make it for yourself." Zhao Wenzhuo looked at the new clothes in his hand, feeling a little distressed for Zhang Guifang.

At this time, Zhang Yu didn't speak, and went back to his room silently. He found two new clothes from the space. They were signed in a while ago. Because they belonged to women, he didn't take them seriously. It was simply not taken out in the space.

Now it’s just in use. Take it out and have a look, it’s just right for my sister-in-law to wear.

Wrap it in a piece of cloth, carry it back to my sister-in-law, and pass the clothes over.

"What is this?" Zhang Guifang opened the package of clothes in a daze.

After opening it, I saw two ladies' gowns.She was a little delighted: "New clothes?"

Then he complained again: "I wasted money again. I have my own clothes. If you make two extra clothes for yourself, can you still return it? If you can't return it, can you exchange it? I will exchange two for you."

"Sister-in-law, I bought it for you specially, so just throw it away if you don't want it." Zhang Yu said as if to throw away the clothes.

"You child," Zhang Guifang patted Zhang Yu on the back, hurriedly hugged the clothes in his arms, and laughed.

Then he looked at the clothes carefully: "The material of this clothes is really good, and the workmanship is also good. I think it can be worn for many years." Then, he saw the furoshiki next to him, "The fabric of this furoshiki is also good. It is used to wrap clothes." Clothes are wasted, let me make you a pair of trousers."

"No need, no need, auntie, you can do it for elder brother. Eldest brother should have someone to talk to, and he should have two good clothes." Looking at the cyan fabric with some small floral flowers faintly in front of him, Zhang Yu quickly refused.

As for what the eldest brother thinks, whether he wants to wear it or not, he said that it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't wear it himself, anyone can wear it.

Zhao Feng looked at Zhang Guifang looking at him, and was busy waving his hands, "It's enough for me to have a whole body, just do it for my little brother."

Watching the two evade each other, Zhang Guifang glanced at the other people, and then watched the other people shake their heads quickly, and then sighed regretfully: "I have no vision."

Zhang Guifang dismissed the idea, and the family breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to wear fancy pants.

Seeing the new clothes everyone was wearing, Zhang Yu suddenly had the urge to record them.

"Sister-in-law, let's go take a picture."

"Take a picture?" Zhang Guifang was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhang Yu's words, and then she reacted and said, "It's time to take a picture. The family portrait I took before was covered with water when the house was being repaired last time, and it became blurred."

As soon as they said it, they went, and the family did not take off the new clothes they were just about to change, and combed and tidied up their hair.

Because the photo studio is not very close to him now, the family decided to go there by bicycle.

There are two bicycles in the family. I was going to reassemble one more, but I have not found a suitable frame. If all new parts are used, it will be more expensive than buying a new bicycle.

In addition, several of their places of work are not very far away, and the most one takes more than 20 minutes to walk, so I gave up this idea.

I plan to wait until I come across a good frame, and then assemble another one.

The first bicycle was ridden by my uncle, with my sister-in-law in the front and my daughter hunchbacked in the back. It can be called a winner in life.

The second car was ridden by the eldest brother, and Zhang Yu reluctantly made it to the front. As for the seat behind, the second brother and the third brother took turns to sit, and the person who didn't sit in it ran for a while.

I have to say that the quality of the current 28-bar bicycle is really good. There is one person sitting in the front and the back, but it is just a little more difficult to ride, and there is no sign of the tires bending at all.

He also saw that someone tied two sticks to the back seat, and then pulled five or six hundred catties, and the car continued to ride, nothing happened.

However, according to the current people's cherishment of 28 bars, few people are willing to do this. For example, my uncle, every time he finishes riding a bicycle, he will wipe it clean with a special towel and put it in the house.

　I finally took off work yesterday, and when I came back to my hometown, I met my hometown watering the land again. I was busy until after two o'clock in the morning this morning. I didn't update it, and I will make it up tomorrow.
