Chapter 33 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (33)

 At the Qingming Festival, Xu Zhinian picked up his wife and children.

 Other people’s wives seem to have aged five or six years after giving birth to their second child. His wife is much better. Her skin and complexion are better than before she had the baby. When I asked her, she actually said it was her sister-in-law’s fault.

 Xu Zhinian was puzzled after hearing this.

 What is the contribution of my little sister?

 What does it have to do with my little sister if she looks good after giving birth? She is still a young girl herself!

I was puzzled, so I still gave my little sister a red envelope.

 Originally I planned to give her one when she was admitted to university... No! I was recommended to go to university, and it was the top BGI. I had to celebrate, so I decided to give him a big one.

Xu Yin felt quite surprised when she received this heavy red envelope.

"Keep it! The imperial capital has a lot of consumption, so there is no harm in bringing more money with you." Xu Zhinian clenched his fist to cover his lips, cleared his throat and said, "You have become a lot more sensible recently. This is the right thing to do. We will continue to work hard in the future."

 Xu Yin: “…” I thank you!

 Let me give him a few words by the way:

"Brother, since my sister-in-law followed you to Tongcheng, treat her well and don't ignore her. It's not easy for her to raise two children by herself. You should help her with more work when you have time. Also, although my sister-in-law has a low education, but She is clever and handy, and the clothes and shoes she makes are no worse than those sold in stores. Give her some time and she will definitely develop better. I will also send her clothes in the future. She can sell them or give them to her family. No matter what you do, you must encourage and support..."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Zhinian nodded, "Your sister-in-law's craftsmanship is indeed good. Many people praised her for the shirt she made for me. Even my old boss said it made me more energetic."

 “So you have to cherish it.”

"That's necessary. Can I still cherish it as my own wife?"

Xu Yin glanced at him and answered simply and neatly without any hesitation. She hoped that she thought so in her heart and could continue to do so in the future.

“Auntie, do you want to go with us?”

Doudou tugged at the hem of Xu Yin's clothes and looked at her longingly, expecting her to nod and say go with them.

She treated him so well that he couldn't bear to leave her.

Xu's mother was angry and amused when she heard this: "If your family goes to Tongcheng, what will happen if your aunt goes with you!"

"I'm going, too," Xiao Douding replied confidently.

Xu’s mother refused: “That can’t be done.”

 The little guy's mouth flattened and his eyes were watery as if he was about to cry.

Xu Yin stroked his hair and said, "I will come to see you during the holidays."

 “When will it be in the future? How long will we have to wait?”

Doudou stretched out his hands, ready to count them.

 Xu Yin: “…”

Finally, he agreed to visit them after the busy season.

 The little guy just started laughing.

Since Sister-in-law Xu decided to go to Tongcheng, she has not taken any more clothes orders recently.

I have some rags on hand and can’t make clothes, but I can still make shoes. In addition to making patchwork shoes for the two children, she also made a pair for Xu Yin.

At first, she was worried that Xu Yin would not appreciate it, so she planned to find two complete pieces of cloth for her to make alone. Unexpectedly, Xu Yin saw her nephew's patchwork shoes and expressed that she liked them very much.

“Sister-in-law, if you have some rags next time, just make them and send them to me, and I’ll pay you.”

 Sister-in-law Xu took the initiative and said before her mother-in-law could say anything: "What's the money for? It's just a little rag. If you like to wear it, I'll make it for you when I have time."

"Of course I like it. Cloth shoes are much more comfortable to wear than Jiefang shoes." Xu Yin said and drew several shoe styles for her, including the popular mother's shoes, maternity shoes, and lazy slippers for home. These are all suitable for breaking. Made of cloth.

In addition to old cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, cloth shoes with rubber soles and buttons were also very popular at this time. Xu Yin drew several shoe patterns for her sister-in-law that she thought were exquisite and beautiful.

After being drawn by her hand, it was not only not rustic, but also had a bit of elegance like patchwork fabric art.

 Sister-in-law Xu happily accepted it.

After sweeping the tomb, Xu Zhinian’s family of four returned to Tongcheng.

With a few people missing from the family, it suddenly became a lot deserted.

Fortunately, there are a lot of rice flower fish in the rice fields this year, and watermelons have been planted on three acres of land. The two elders' thoughts are either on the fish or on the melons. Put on your raincoat and rain boots to take a look at some fish and melons.

Let it be deserted if your home is deserted, as long as you are not lonely.

Xu Yin was bored, so she drew a few designs of summer clothes, took off the dustproof cloth cover on the sewing machine, and spent the whole morning making a set of summer short-sleeved undershirts and three-quarter-length undershirts for her parents. pants suit.

The material is fine linen that Xu's mother bought when she went to an exchange meeting a few years ago. It has some small flaws, but Xu Yin cut it skillfully, and after it is finished, you can't tell that it is a defective cloth.

 In these days, dressing is more conservative than in later generations. No matter how hot the summer is, my parents won’t go out in shorts, so these cropped pants are very suitable.

After getting the clothes, Xu's mother couldn't put it down and looked at them in the mirror again and again. Unfortunately, it was still cold and she couldn't wear short-sleeved clothes, so she took them to the next door and showed off to her neighbors: "Yin Yin made them for me."

"What? Did Yin Yin do it? I thought it was Zhinian's wife who did it."

 “Yinyin can also make clothes?”

“The stitches are very thin! The style is also very fresh. Is it really made by Yin Yin?”

"Of course!" Xu's mother said sarcastically, "I'm not bragging, our Yinyin is very smart and learns everything quickly. Let's just make clothes. See how many of her sister-in-law makes them. And they are even more fashionable and beautiful than her sister-in-law. Look at this dress, the style is not available outside, she came up with it all by herself."

"Really! Jinhua, ask Yinyin to make one for me sometime. I'll pay her for the fabric myself and I'll pay her for it. Just a set like this. These pants must be very cool to wear in summer."

“Sister-in-law Jinhua, there’s me too. The rust-red coat you wore last time was very fashionable. I’ve been wanting to make one for a long time. If Yin Yin can make it, I’ll take the materials to your house tomorrow.”

“As expected of a top student recommended to attend Huada University of Technology, the clothes you make are of styles you can’t buy outside. Sister-in-law Jinhua, you are so lucky. Your son and daughter are both so promising..."

Mother Xu was so praised by the neighbors that her heart felt as sweet as drinking nectar, and she agreed to their request in one fell swoop.

 Until I returned home, I calmed down and thought: It’s over! What if my daughter is not willing to make clothes for others? The **** is blown out...

　　He patted himself on the head: "Let you brag! Let you like to listen to flattery!"

"Mom? What are you doing?" Xu Yin came out of the room and saw her mother standing under the eaves, beating her head.

“Yin Yin, that’s what happened...” Xu’s mother said bravely.

Xu Yin laughed: "There's nothing to worry about. I can take on any orders. Anyway, I'm idle at home. It's good to earn some pocket money."

“But they don’t necessarily all make summer clothes. Some people also want to make coats for autumn and winter.”

 “It’s okay, I can do it.”

Xu's mother hesitated to speak for a long time, but finally couldn't help but said: "They have saved those fabrics for a long time. They are all good materials. If they are damaged, they will pay a lot of money. Don't mess around."

Xu Yin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Mom, don’t worry! It’s just a few clothes, I can guarantee that they can be done well.”
