70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 92 Tailored
"Although you are my younger brother, I can give mine to whoever I want! Can you manage it?" Xie Xiaonian felt disgusted when he saw Xie Xiaobao's spoiled appearance.

"When dad comes back, I'll tell dad that you secretly cook delicious food and don't give it to me!" Xie Xiaobao had no choice but to take Xie Xiaonian out and threaten Xie Xiaonian.

And Xie Xiaonian wished that his troubles would be known all over the world.

Maybe it was because he was too obsessed with food, or because Xie Hongjun made him too greedy just now, so when Xie's father came home, before he put down his hoe, Xie Xiaobao ran forward and started to complain.

"What's delicious about screws! It's worth your fuss." Father Xie said sternly after hearing Xie Xiaobao's words.

"Father, it's not a question of whether the screws are delicious or not. It's Xiao Nian who actually cooks food secretly and gives it to others, not to her own family. Even if the screws are worthless, but the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, what kind of food is not worth it?" Money, and it’s wrong to steal it yourself!”

Seeing that he had caught Xie Xiaonian's trick, Li Zhi didn't care if Xie Xiaonian's impression of her would get worse, so he hurriedly said, for fear that Xiaobao couldn't explain clearly.

"Xiao Nian, did you cook food secretly? Give it to the Red Army instead of Xiao Bao?" Father Xie asked standing at the door of the kitchen.

"Yes, I made screws to eat and gave them back to the Red Army instead of to Xiaobao." Xie Xiaonian replied bluntly.

"Xiao Nian, you are wrong. How can you cook the things at home for outsiders to eat? Who are you and a family? No wonder you use more oil and salt than before. It turns out that you are secretly Make something for others to eat." Before Xie's father could answer, Wu Lihua couldn't wait to criticize.

She finally got hold of Xie Xiaonian today, she must take this opportunity to treat her well, and let her know how powerful she is.

"I made screws and ate them, but I made them at the third grandma's house, and all the things I used were hers, but I didn't use any of ours. And I gave it to the Red Army, so there's nothing wrong with it, although he and I It's not a family, but at least she can help me with a word, which is much better than those family members who can only count on me. As for the oil and salt at home, every time you give it is a ration, don't say I don't have it Use it more, that is, if I want to use it more, I have to have it, if you are worried, then let Li Zhi cook in the future." Xie Xiaonian didn't care whether Father Xie and the others looked good or not, and said sarcastically.

"Even if you don't use the things at home, that's okay, you dare to be lazy when you are working, and go to the river to touch screws to eat!" Wu Lihua said sharply.

"Did I not finish my work? Are you hungry, or the pig?" Xie Xiaonian asked back.

"Father, every time I touch the screw, I will finish the work. I also get the screw to fill my stomach, otherwise I won't have the strength to work. Dad, do you see that my complexion is much better now? Although the screw tastes mediocre, But I made too much, no matter how I can fill my stomach, I can count as saving food for my family." Xie Xiaonian said directly to Father Xie without waiting for Wu Lihua to reply.

Only now did Father Xie realize that Xie Xiaonian's complexion was not as sallow as before, and there was still some flesh on his cheeks, thinking about the little food Xie Xiaonian ate every day, Father Xie couldn't be harsh on her, so he could only say: "Well, as long as you Just don't delay your work."

"I promise not to delay work, father." Xie Xiaonian replied with a smile when he saw that his goal had been achieved.

"Father, I want to eat screws too, I want to eat too." Seeing that his father didn't ask Xie Xiaonian for screws at all, Xie Xiaobao said anxiously.

"Xiao Nian, do you have any? If so, give Xiaobao some to save him trouble."

"No more, Dad. I'm busy with work every day, and the screws I touch are enough for me to eat. I reserved them today just to thank the Red Army for speaking for me before."

"No, I want to eat!" Xie Xiaobao cried immediately when he heard that it was gone.

Xie Xiaonian doesn't care about him, just go make a fuss, anyway, her goal has been achieved, I believe no one will doubt her change in the future.

In the end, Father Xie, in order to appease Xiaobao, had no choice but to ask Xie Dabao to touch some screws tomorrow and let Xiao Nian cook for Xiaobao.

Because the news about Xiao Nian eating screws to fill his stomach got out, Wu Lihua's reputation became worse.

But the people in the village saw that Xiao Nian could make the screws deliciously and make them healthy, and the third grandma and Xie Xiaonian did not hide the methods of the screws. The screws on the side were picked up, and the craze didn't subside until half a month later.

And the new educated youth, seeing the villagers frantically picking up screws to eat, thought that the people here were hungry and crazy. When they first arrived, they were shocked and felt that their prospects were bleak.

Of course these are later stories.

Maybe Hongjun's mother knew, Xie Xiaonian gave Xie Hongjun the screws to fill his stomach, so when Xie Xiaonian came home at night the next day, he saw Xie Hongjun standing by the roadside.

When he approached, he ran up and said, "Sister Xiao Nian, this is the cornbread my mother gave you!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Hongjun handed the oiled paper bag to Xie Xiaonian, and the oiled paper was the same one that Xie Xiaonian wrapped the screws yesterday, which shows that his family is not rich.

Xie Xiaonian looked at the two cornbreads in the oiled paper bag, and was still a little moved. He didn't expect that he just gave some screws, and Xie Hongjun's mother gave back the two cornbreads.

"I can't ask for this, you hurry to take it back and thank your mother for me!" Xie Xiaonian is not short of this kind of food, how can he ask for other people's rations.

"My mother gave it to you, you have to take it." After speaking, Xie Hongjun stuffed the paper bag into Xie Xiaonian's arms, and then ran away.

Looking at the cornbread in his hand, Xie Xiaonian smiled helplessly, it seems that he can only make up for Xie Hongjun with some snacks in the future.

Because Xie Xiaobao was really greedy, so when Xie Xiaonian came home, Xie Xiaobao had already brought back the screw that Xie Dabao fumbled in the river when he came back from school.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian entered, Xie Xiaobao yelled: "Second Sister, I brought back the screws, please help me quickly."

"I just touched this screw today, and it hasn't spewed mud yet. I can't eat it today, or I will eat a mouthful of sand. Come, I will tell you how to deal with it. After it is done, it can be cooked and eaten tomorrow night at the earliest. "Xie Xiaonian said to Xie Xiaobao as she put down the pannier she was carrying.

It may be because Xie Xiaobao really wants to eat, so Xie Xiaobao, who usually doesn’t work very much, did not bargain this time. He cut the tail of the screw and changed the water according to the method taught by Xie Xiaonian. He finally looked like a 12-year-old child in the countryside. up.

"Second sister, do you know that five educated youths came to our village this afternoon, and our brigade secretary and women's director went to pick them up in person. It's on the west side of our village, where the former five-guarantee household lived. I went to see it just now. Well, they look like they are from the city, they are different from us." Xie Xiaobao was cutting screws at the kitchen door while gossiping to Xie Xiaonian and showing off his well-informed information.

"Why is it different, don't they all have one nose and two eyes!" Although Xie Xiaonian wasn't very interested, she responded casually, as if it was time to chat while cooking.

"Of course it's different. You don't know. Three of them have pretty clothes. We've never seen them before. They're also fair-looking. There's a female educated youth from Shanghai who looks really pretty." , the clothes are also fashionable. There is also a male educated youth from Shanghai who is also good-looking. I also heard a discussion between my elder sister and a group of big girls in the village, saying that the male educated youth named Zhang Hao looks very refined and looks like a cultural person. Now there There are quite a few people watching the excitement there, and the eldest sister is also there." Xie Xiaobao said cheerfully, as if he had met some great person.

Xie Xiaonian felt that good-looking clothes, fair looks, and a gentle face are all useless in the countryside. The most important thing is to be able to adapt to life here, be hardworking and capable, and survive here.

These young masters and young ladies who have never suffered in the city will suffer in the future.

And Xie Xiaonian finally knew the reason why Li Zhi took the medicine so seriously these past few days and was not afraid of suffering at all.

And when eating at night, the topic of the family also revolved around the new educated youth.

When Li Zhi talked about these educated youths, he was very familiar with them, and in less than an afternoon, he asked about almost all of their public affairs.

Even if Xie Xiaonian didn't want to know, from the conversation, she got some understanding of those educated youths.

In the evening, after Xie Xiaonian finished planting the land in the space, when she went to the study to read medical books, she inadvertently glanced at the fabric on the side of the bed, and then remembered that she forgot to make clothes for Xu Zhongjun.

So when he saw Xu Zhongjun the next day, Xie Xiaonian said directly: "I haven't made clothes for you with the fabric I bought last time. I'll measure you in a while!"

Fortunately, the memory of the original owner is there, otherwise Xie Xiaonian might not even know how to measure the body, let alone tailor clothes.

"You make clothes for yourself first, don't worry about me, I have military uniforms to wear, don't worry." Xu Zhongjun usually wears military uniforms, and he doesn't have much time to wear casual clothes, so he feels that the two at home are enough, no I did it in a hurry.

"I've almost finished making summer clothes, and it won't be too late to make them in autumn. I want to make the clothes for you before you go back to the army, so that you can save money on postage, don't you think so?"

"That's fine, as long as you don't get tired."

When the two arrived in the mountain, Xie Xiaonian put the back basket on the ground, took out the soft measure in his pocket, and said to Xu Zhongjun, "Okay, let's start measuring! Squat a little, let's measure your shoulders first."

Because Xu Zhongjun was 20cm taller than Xie Xiaonian, so Xu Zhongjun had to squat down a bit.

Measure your shoulders, arms, bust, and waist.

When he measured Xu Zhongjun's waist, Xie Xiaonian felt that something was wrong, the two of them seemed to be getting closer, and his arms were still around Xu Zhongjun's waist, so his posture was too ambiguous.
