60s happy life

Chapter 8
Liu Xiaoying took out her things when she reached Kuaijin Village, and carried another basket full of things.It was less than twelve o'clock when I got home, and I was already hungry after eating a bowl of instant noodles in the morning.

Liu Xiaoying lit the fire to cook and eat, and it was already two o'clock after the work was done.

She took out all the cotton cloths and went straight to Li's house next door.

At this time, Mrs. Li was sitting on the kang mending her clothes. When she saw Liu Xiaoying's thing coming, she knew why she was here.

"You girl, you don't say a word when you go out. Someone came to your house today." Mrs. Li put down the work in her hand.

"Someone from my house? Who is it?" Liu Xiaoying wondered, she seems to have no relatives, who can go to her house without incident?
Old Mrs. Li said: "It's the daughter-in-law of the old Wang's family from our brigade, from Hejiawan. She said that He Haowen's family came the day after tomorrow. She didn't know you were not at home, so she told me."

Liu Xiaoying didn't know what it meant for someone from the He family to come. It stands to reason that she would be married in the next year, so if she wanted to come to the He family, she would just come and have a look.

Liu Xiaoying left the fabric, and for needlework she brought some dark blue and black threads, all of which were in the space.

"Use these fabrics to make a padded jacket, and there is still some leftover fabric to make trousers. Let me make you a pullover." Grandma Li gestured at the fabric and measured the size for Liu Xiaoying.

"Grandma Li, just watch and do it, I don't understand these things." Liu Xiaoying knows how to sew and mend, but she doesn't know how to make clothes.

Back home, Liu Xiaoying thought about it, but couldn't figure out the purpose of the He family.But since they are here, they are all guests, after all, they are the future husband's family.

She took out a few handfuls of soybeans and soaked them to prepare some soybean sprouts. She hasn't eaten any fresh vegetables in the past few days, so she wanted to eat something different?There are not many a la carte dishes in the space, and each item weighs a few catties. If you eat quickly, you can eat it in a month.So I was always reluctant to eat, so I ate some canned pickles and the like.

Liu Xiaoying cleaned the house thoroughly. There was nothing in the house, so cleaning was very convenient, just sweeping the floor and dusting.

Looking at the empty house, Liu Xiaoying sighed, this is the case in every house now, there is nothing at all.

The furniture is only two boxes, a kang table, and a few stools.There is not even a table on the ground, and there is no wardrobe. There are only a few clothes at home, and a wardrobe is superfluous.

Liu Xiaoying looked at the cotton shoes on her feet, they had been mended in many places.The toes are already worn out, and I was so cold that I couldn’t feel it when I returned from the county yesterday. I still wore a pair of cotton socks.

Liu Xiaoying flipped through the space with her consciousness, and there was no cotton shoes suitable for this era at all.However, there were two pairs of her former mother's cotton shoes, which were also handmade, and they were intended to be worn inside the house. They looked half-new, but Liu Xiaoying bought them new slippers and replaced them.

It was supposed to be thrown away, but I didn't expect it to be stored in the space.After digging through it, a few old clothes were found, all of which belonged to her mother.

A dark khaki coat, a light blue shirt, a pair of black trousers, and a few Chinese tunic suits that her father eliminated.

These are worn by old ladies, but this is considered fashionable clothes at this time, right?
Liu Xiaoying only took out a pair of cotton shoes and put them on, they were still very warm, and the handmade ones were quite strong.

Liu Xiaoying brushed the old cotton shoes that had been replaced, put them on the kang to dry, and kept them in the house to be used as slippers.

Went to the county in the morning, and cleaned the house in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoying was a little tired, and went to bed after eating early.

The next afternoon, Grandma Li delivered the finished clothes.Liu Xiaoying tried it on and it still fits very well. Although it doesn't look good, it is very warm.

"Grandma Li, how did you make the clothes so fast?" Liu Xiaoying thought it would take three to five days.

"Your Aunt Xiaohua made it with me." Mrs. Li looked at Liu Xiaoying's surprised eyes and smiled and said, "Don't think that she usually speaks badly, but she is actually quite good in her heart, and it's all about the hard times."

Liu Xiaoying nodded, "Thank you Grandma Li and Auntie."

Grandma Li waved her hand, "Someone from the He family will come tomorrow, just call me if you need anything, don't worry."

"Definitely." Liu Xiaoying sent Grandma Li away and went back to put on the clothes. The clothes were made for people to wear, right?

Liu Xiaoying's com space took out a cabbage and a pheasant, thought about it and then took it back. I don't know the purpose of their visit, and if they have a bad attitude, they won't even give them food!
Liu Xiaoying is very simple. If you treat me well, I will treat you well. If you treat me badly, I will not even give you face.

The kang was heated up at night, and Liu Xiaoying couldn't help feeling a little nervous thinking about tomorrow's affairs.After all, this is the first time she has come to contact someone she doesn't know but has a relationship with. Will she be found out?

The next morning, Liu Xiaoying got up and finished eating, braided her hair into two braids, and tied them with red string.When she went out a few days ago, she saw young girls combing their hair like this, so she also braided her hair.

I looked at my pretty face in the mirror, because I had eaten well these days and it was no longer sallow, and my big almond eyes were very energetic, and I looked especially good when I smiled.

Putting the mirror into the space, Liu Xiaoying started to burn the kang. He ate a piece of bread in the morning and warmed up a pot of milk, which was relatively simple.

After Liu Xiaoying finished packing, she looked at her watch and it was only past seven o'clock. It seemed that she was getting used to this era more and more.I just woke up at this time before, but I didn't expect to wake up after five o'clock now.

It shouldn't be so early, Liu Xiaoying thought.She put on a piece of patched clothes, and then went to the back mountain to pick up a box of firewood.

Now the firewood collected every day is just enough for a day, and she has to go to collect firewood every day, and she can't carry too much.

It's already past ten o'clock when I got home and changed my clothes. Could it be that they didn't come?Liu Xiaoying sat on the kang, knocking melon seeds and drinking tea.

"Is anyone home?"

Liu Xiaoying hurriedly put things into the space, checked that there was nothing missing, and then went out.

Four people came outside, three men and one woman, the man was in his 40s, he was dark and looked like an honest farmer.

Why do you say like?Because he looked a little clever in his eyes, it was intuition.

The other man was in his 60s, and his clothes were neatly dressed without any patches.There is also a man in his teens, a little older than Liu Xiaoying.

There is also a woman in her 40s who keeps looking at Liu Xiaoying when she sees her.

Liu Xiaoying was a little uncertain about this group of people, so she said, "Come in quickly, it's really cold outside."
