Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 59 Making Clothes

Yi Weidong sent Director Fan away. First, he pressed water to clean the stone trough.

Block the water outlet of the stone trough with a rag,

The water that weighed down the half-rock trough,
Three houses, one bright and two dark,
There is only an old wooden bed in the east room,
There is no other furniture,

Come out to the east wing,

There is a small stove inside.

It's just that there is not even a pot.

When I went to the back of the yard, there was only an open space.
There is a dug cellar,

In the end, even a broom was not found.

Yi Weidong didn't know if Director Fan would come in the afternoon,

Just take out a rag and wipe the main room and the pot room,
Not long after, Director Fan took five people and four carts, pulling blue bricks, cement, four benches and two wooden chopping boards, etc.
The five people are all members of the urban construction department of the rolling mill.
Director Fan first arranged to build a large pot stove with green bricks in the East Wing.

Then he handed Yi Weidong a sack and said:
"Here is a set of pig-killing knives, iron hooks and other things, all chosen by Sha Zhu for you, and a big hammer. If you can support this pot today, you will have to wait for your donkey."

Yi Weidong said: "It's none of my business. I'm going back. I'll set off tomorrow morning. I can bring the donkey here in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, the day after tomorrow afternoon, I will ask Shazhu to kill the donkey." Director Fan said.

Yi Weidong sent the tools to the main room,

Lock the main room door with a new lock brought by Director Fan,
Yi Weidong greeted Director Fan and left the family area.

It was still early at this time,
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative of Hongxing Commune to buy mattresses and reed mats,

I also bought several clay pots, sand jars, porcelain basins and iron basins,
This is what is needed when killing pigs.
This concludes today's purchase,
When you come out of the Red Star Commune, you put everything back into the space.

Today is He Yushui's day to rest and go home,
Yi Weidong came to the gate of the cotton spinning factory and waited.

Sitting on the side of the car, I dug out a Journey to the West and read it.

In less than an hour, a large group of young girls burst out from the gate of the cotton spinning factory.

Yi Weidong was dumbfounded,

The clothes are all similar, so it is impossible to tell which one is He Yushui.

Not long after, a little girl came straight to Yi Weidong pushing a bicycle,
Yi Weidong was still sideways trying to stare at the little girls' Liankan,

He Yushui asked, "Is the little girl in the cotton mill pretty?"

"Pretty, very pretty."

He Yushui chuckled, pushed Yi Weidong with his hand, and said;
"Little rascal, let's go."

Only then did Yi Weidong realize that it was He Yushui who asked the question just now, and quickly said:
"Sister, they are not as beautiful as my sister."

"Okay, let me take you to make clothes. I made 10 meters of cloth and spent 9 yuan." He Yushui said.

Only then did Yi Weidong see a cloth bag sandwiched on the back seat of the bicycle.

Yi Weidong followed behind on a tricycle and said:
"Sister, why didn't you get more? Where are we going?"

It's a pity that He Yushui has been riding this bicycle for a while.

After copying, you can only sell second-hand ones.

He Yushui said in the front: "We just don't need a ticket. These are 10 meters that we bought with great difficulty. Now I will take you to the tailor shop of the commune's public-private joint venture to measure the size and make you a suit of clothes."

"Oh!"

Yi Weidong followed behind thinking,

Is it possible to copy it into cloth in space by getting some cotton by myself?

Thinking about it again, it’s better to forget that cotton has no clue yet.

I don't have any dyes, so I can't make them into white cloth, right?
Why don't you just go and buy cloth?
Cloth tickets are only a dime a foot in the black market,
You can buy cloth tickets for a little money,
Yi Weidong followed to the tailor shop,
He Yushui is very familiar with the master inside,
Mouth after mouthful my aunt called,

First, I measured Yi Weidong's body data,
He Yushui said: "Auntie made the clothes bigger and fatter, and it will grow even longer!"

"No problem, I'll write it down." The aunt wrote it down in the notebook.

He Yushui said: "Auntie, you still have my brother's size, and make a set for him too."

"Okay, remember it!"

The aunt measured 5 meters of cloth and returned the remaining 5 meters to He Yushui.

There is no need for a cloth ticket if you bring your own cloth, as long as you pay for the clothes when you pick them up.

After leaving the tailor shop, the two walked all the way to the city,
Back to the courtyard house,

Yi Weidong regards himself as a canteen buyer,
I also told He Yushui about finding a foothold in the family area of ​​the rolling mill,

Finally said:
"I can kill a donkey the day after tomorrow, and I will have donkey meat to eat at home the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to go home?"

He Yushui said regretfully: "I don't have time to go back."

Yi Weidong took out a key to the gate of the slaughterhouse and a key to the main room,
Give it to He Yushui:

"I'll leave some meat in the main room the day after tomorrow. You can eat it when you have time."

He Yushui took the key and asked, "Are you okay doing this?"

"What can I do? I have a letter of introduction. The cafeteria only accepts clean meat after slaughter. After I kill it, I put it into the water. I can keep the pig blood, bones, etc. for my own consumption, instead of selling them."

He Yushui think about it, this is all done in the name of the public,

is no problem,
How come it has the same nature as the food station!
He warned: "Weidong, you can't take it out and sell it, it will be troublesome if you are found out."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on, not to mention that I don't even have enough to eat, so there's no meat to sell."

Yi Weidong said.

Yi Weidong flipped through his pile of bills,

The cloth ticket inside is 23 feet,
Enough to make several clothes,

He Yushui's cloth is blue and black.

It is inappropriate to make clothes for He Yushui,
He took out the cloth ticket from the satchel, handed it to He Yushui and said:

"Sister, I have a little cloth ticket here, you go and buy a suit of clothes too."

He Yushui took the cloth ticket in a daze, counted 23 feet, and asked:
"Weidong, where did you get the ticket?"

"Don't worry about it, I have a way to get it, you can buy clothes with peace of mind."

Yi Weidong said.

"This won't work. How can I ask for your cloth ticket to buy clothes? I'll just find Zheng Aimin to find a way later. He has a way to get the ticket." He Yushui said.

Zheng Aimin is a police officer, so it is inconvenient to go to the black market, right?

If you are really caught, you will lose your job.

He Yushui said mysteriously: "Do you know the Soviet embassy?"

"I know, it's just behind the small park."

Not far behind the South Pavilion Park that Yi Weidong had been to with He Yushui when he first arrived.

He Yushui continued:
"There is a small pigeon market in an alley nearby. It is within the jurisdiction of the Beixinqiao Police Station, and there is only a short period of time after dinner at night."

Only then did Yi Weidong realize that there was also a pigeon market nearby.

But the scale is not big, so it is not suitable for Yi Weidong.

The business of three or two dollars is not worth the risk.

Yi Weidong said: "Sister, it's up to him to get brother Aimin. I have a ticket here, so you can buy the clothes first."

At this time, Shazhu pushed the door open and came in, and said, "What clothes do you want to buy?"

He Yushui said the matter again, and Shazhu said:

"Here you go, take it. Later, I bought sheets for Weidong, and I'm planning how to make the bedding."

"Okay, then I'll take it first." He Yushui then put away the cloth ticket.

Sha Zhu said: "The meal is ready, let's eat quickly."

　Thank you for the reward of 100 starting coins for wandering alone in the rainy night, and thank you for your great support and love.
