Chapter 16 Eight Zero Best Sister-in-law (16)

  Xu Yin pursed her lips and chuckled.

   "You are still laughing! You are as virtuous as your father! The same prodigal!"

  Mother Xu looked angry when she saw her smile.

   "Okay, mom, I bought everything, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are not willing to return it!"

  Xu Yin enthusiastically pulled her mother to the table.

"And take a look, these are all newly arrived materials from the supply and marketing cooperatives, which were not available before. The new fabrics that don't need tickets, which round will get us when you buy them during the Chinese New Year, have already been snatched up by the people in the city. I call it the first move Be strong! Let your sister-in-law make new clothes for your two elders later, and if anyone asks, she will say that it is the filial piety of the daughter. What a face!"

Father Xu cheerfully echoed: "Yes! The other day I asked the branch secretary to smoke a filter, and he asked if our family had a distinguished guest and gave him such a nice gift. I said no, it was my daughter who bought it for me. But those who envy him want to change their daughters with me..."

   "You go! You will know your filter!"

  Xu's mother angrily pushed the man to the corner, holding up the cloth bought by her daughter, feeling relieved and distressed.

   "Tell me, what are you doing wasting this money! Your father and I are not without clothes..."

   "Oh, mom, this is my filial piety to you. When I make more money in the future, I will not only make new clothes for you, but also build a big house for you to live in a new house!"

  Xu Yin's few words made Xu's mother smile again.

  Sister-in-law Xu hugged Xiao Douding, who was sucking candy, and watched this scene with a smile.

  For some reason, she firmly believes that what her sister-in-law said will come true one day.

  My sister-in-law has this ability.

  After Xu's mother was coaxed to be happy, she carried the fabric and some durable food into the house to tidy up.

  Xu Yin handed over a pack of toffee, a catty of shortbread stuffed with red bean paste, and three pieces of fabric to Mrs. Xu.

   "Sister-in-law, you put these away and take the time to make new clothes for yourself and Doudou. Don't worry if the orders come slowly. We are already much faster than other tailors."

   Mrs. Xu wanted to give money to Xu Yin, but Xu Yin didn't want it.

   "Sister-in-law, you're out of touch now. Isn't it right for me to buy some food and clothing for my nephew? I'll get the report in a few days, and I want to tear a piece of light and breathable fabric for my brother."

   "There's something for everyone!"

  Xiao Douding suddenly said something.

   "Yes!" Xu Yin laughed, "Everyone in our family is wearing new clothes!"

  Xiao Douding blinked: "You don't have any."

   "Why didn't you? Didn't you just make new pants last month?"

   "No clothes."

   "Yes, Gu has a lot of clothes! I'll change them later and they will be new."

  Xu Yin is quite confident in her profession.

  Xiao Douding believed it, clapped his little hands and jumped up and down: "Everyone has it!"

   "Doudou is absolutely right!"

  Although Teacher Qu didn't ask her when she could finish it at the soonest, Xu Yin guessed that he should hope the sooner the better, so she decided to join him in the team.

  After distributing the gifts, Xu Yin took the orders and fabrics from the school to her sister-in-law.

  Tell her by the way that in the next few days, I will hurry up on this princess dress and try to finish it before I get the report.

   Mrs. Xu was very pleasantly surprised when she saw Xu Yin's drawing of the princess dress design: "It looks good! A little girl must look good in it!"

   Immediately, I thought of what was in my belly. I don’t know if it was a girl or a boy. If it was a girl, I would pull seersucker for her when she grew up and make such a beautiful skirt.

  Xu Yin didn't know what she was thinking, if she knew, she would twitch the corners of her mouth: Don't ask about this baby, it's just a brat! If you want a daughter, you should look forward to the next child.

   But having said that, it seems that there are already signs of family planning in the city, and the countryside is short of labor, so it will not be so strict in a short time, but it will be hard to say next year.

  —

  Old Xu’s food is good recently, there is no big fish or meat, there is no shortage of eggs and duck eggs for every meal, scrambled eggs, steamed eggs, marinated eggs...

  Under the suggestion of Xu Yin, an invisible foodie, it can be done without repetition for several days.

   Occasionally add a fried dish of bacon and sausage, and the family's mood is much better than before.

   The one who has changed the most is Mrs. Xu.

  In addition, she has been busy taking orders and making clothes for more than a month, and rarely goes out. When she appeared at first sight, the neighbors next door almost didn't recognize her.

   "Cui... Cuihua? I haven't seen you go out for a while, what are you doing at home?"

  Li Qiaohong, who married into Xujia Village in the same year as her, went to Hebuto to wash clothes with a wooden basin, when passing by Xu’s house happened to meet Mrs. Xu who opened the door and came out.

  Sister Xu smiled at her.

  The ruddy and shiny face, against the background of the morning glow, was a little more pretty than I hadn't noticed before. I haven't seen her go to the ground recently, and her skin has turned pale.

  Li Qiaohong couldn't tell what it was like.

  She and Li Cuihua are both from the Li Family Village in Houhai, and their ancestors are somewhat related, and they married into the same village.

  It was true on the surface, but only she knew in her heart that she didn't want Li Cuihua to live well, on the contrary, she wished that she would be tortured by her husband's family and suffer unspeakably.

  Who made the old Xu's family dislike her for having a younger brother and sister, worried that she would have to support her mother's family after she married her husband's family, so she flatly rejected the matchmaker sent by her mother's family, but turned around and fell in love with Li Cuihua.

   In a disguised form, she is saying that she is not as good as Li Cuihua.

   This tone was kept until she got married.

  After she got married, she saw Li Cuihua's life in her in-law's house—seeing the world being tortured by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she felt a lot better.

  So what if Xindao married a soldier, so what if he got a fixed salary every month.

  So every time she passed by the gate of Xu's courtyard, she had to take a few glances in.

  Seeing Li Cuihua dragging his tired body, being ordered by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to do this and that, I feel very happy.

  Unexpectedly, after the busy farming this year, the old Xu’s family didn’t know what was going on. For more than a month, they didn’t hear the old lady of the Xu family swearing, nor did they see Li Cuihua dragging his exhausted body to the village to pick up dung and chop firewood in the backyard.

   Occasionally met in Hebutou a few times, and at a glance, there were not as many clothes in her basin as there were in my own.

   What's even more strange is that in the past half a month, the person who went to the river to wash clothes was actually replaced by the old lady of the Xu family.

  Li Cuihua doesn't even need to wash the clothes at home? When did her life get so good?

  Li Qiaohong tried her best to restrain the jealousy in her heart, and squeezed out a smile: "Cuihua, you look really good recently, maybe you have it?"

   Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile: "Yes, so I haven't been out much recently."

   "..."

  Li Qiaohong stared at her in disbelief: "You really have it?"

  That's why the old lady of the Xu family treats her so well? Instead of driving people to do rough work, help her with laundry?

   Then I thought about it: No! When she was pregnant with Doudou, she didn't seem to be treated like this.

  Doudou is still the eldest grandson of the old Xu's family anyway, so it doesn't mean he doesn't have a second child, right?

   There are oddities!
