Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Wang Jiao may have thought she was stupid because she had never done needlework, but in fact she was not stupid at all. Under Feng Qingxue's guidance, she quickly learned how to use a sewing machine, how to cut and sew clothes, and how to Basic skills such as buttoning, how to hold shoe soles, etc., and the shoe patterns are also drawn and cut.

Although the stitches are crooked, some are loose and some are dense, and the buttons are not very delicate, I have finally learned how to do it.

What she learned fastest and best was knitting sweaters!

Feng Qingxue picked up the needle and knitted a few circles. It was a new pattern that was not available at the moment, but it would be very common in the future. She didn’t know the exact name. After knitting it with this stitching method, a flower would appear on the sweater. The shape of small flowers side by side is different from the current flat knitting method without any pattern.

Wang Jiao watched it for a while and thought it looked good, so she wanted to learn from her, but she quickly got the hang of it.

There are four bamboo sweater needles on the knitted sweater that is two fingers wide. This is why Feng Qingxue is knitting. Three needles are used when starting the needle. The extra needle is used for knitting the sweater. When the time comes, I use the extra needle and the three needles to shuttle back and forth. After finishing one needle, I continue to the next needle.

Wang Jiao started to weave loosely and tightly, and the flowers were big and small, which was very unsightly. In the end, she took it apart and reweaved it again.

After a few days, Wang Jiao learned how to weave quickly and well, with tightness and tightness, which was no worse than Feng Qingxue's weaving.

"I'll take the wool back and knit it myself. If I don't know how to finish it, I'll come back to you to help me." Wang Jiao feels very accomplished now and wants to get married wearing the sweater she knitted.

When the time comes, she can proudly tell those who say she has nothing to do with it that she knitted it herself!

Sweaters are not something anyone can knit if they want to. It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. How can she have the chance to knit a sweater if she can’t buy wool? If you’ve never knitted a sweater, of course you don’t know how to knit!

"Okay!" Feng Qingxue didn't refuse. She counted the time and found that the farm work was about to begin.

Even if you are pregnant, you have to go to work. You will also have to take care of the food of the family and the children. How can you have free time to continue knitting sweaters? Wang Jiao is willing to take it back, so naturally she can spare the time.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Last time, Zhang Yuejin said that he would come to pay homage to my parents today."

Feng Qingxue was stunned, wasn't it almost August 15th?

Although Zhang Yuejin and Wang Jiao are not married, their marriage has been decided, and the wedding date is also set in the period after autumn and early winter. According to the current customs and rules, he has to give his father-in-law a gift, otherwise it is difficult to say whether the marriage can continue. .

The older they are, the more they pay attention to these things. They don't care about the amount of things. After all, supplies are scarce now, but they have to make this trip.

Feng Qingxue was thinking about whether she should go to her natal family. No one could come and go with her natal family, but Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng helped organize the wedding, and they also took care of the vegetable garden at home. You should go, even if you only send two pounds of noodles and one pound of fruit, Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng and the fellow villagers of Caohu Brigade will not call themselves ungrateful.

When I talked to Father Lu during lunch, Father Lu said: "You should go, you should go, you should go! Those are your uncles and aunts. Don't say they arranged the marriage for you, but they didn't. According to the previous rules, When a married niece goes back to her parents' home to give gifts, she should also go to her uncle's house. Isn't this the first time she goes back to her parents' home to give gifts? I don't know what we have at home now. You can see for yourself. Pick two good ones and don’t make people laugh in your first year.”
