Suisui at Seventy

Seeing the sun getting higher and higher and the end of the team still in the foreseeable future, Jiang Suisui couldn't help it. She poked the long braid in front of her again and asked, "Excuse me, when will this be queued?"

With a flick of the long braid, he thought for a while and said, "When the queue is out of stock, it will be scattered."

"Huh?" Jiang Suisui wrinkled his face, a little distressed, "When will it be my turn..."

She whispered, "I just want to exchange eggs..."

"Change eggs?" Long braid turned her head and looked at the basket in her hand. "Just because of this? Didn't you say it earlier? Go over there!"

The long braid raised his hand with a finger. Jiang Suisui looked along and found that there were many people coming in and out next to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Long Braid explained: "Today the gates of the supply and marketing cooperatives are all arranged, and the others are squeezed to one side. You will know if you walk over and take a look. There are a lot of people."

"Eh, but," Long Braid said again, "you don't want to buy cloth? It's all here, it's a shame not to buy it."

Jiang Suisui looked at the long dragon in front of him, then looked at the egg basket in his hand, and then thought that he had only fifty cents in his pocket, and finally shook his head regretfully: "Forget it, I have to complete the task my grandma gave me. "

Long braid looked her up and down a few times, and tentatively said: "Which village do you come from?"

"Dayan Village." Jiang Suisui replied.

"Dayan Village, it's quite far away, isn't it easy to come here?" Long Braid asked.

Jiang Suisui nodded. Yes, it was not easy. He almost fell apart by the ox cart.

The long braid suddenly flicked again, and said boldly: "Come on, you are lucky to meet me today, because you look pretty pleasing to the eye..."

She suddenly approached Jiang Suisui and whispered, "I want your eggs!"

"Huh?" Jiang Suisui opened his eyes wide, "this, is this all right?"

Can you buy and sell privately these years?

"What's wrong?" Long braid whispered, "I didn't buy it from you, I'm changing it! We are considered to know each other. It is normal for people we know to change things, understand?"

Understand! Jiang Suisui understood it fiercely. To put it another way, it was different.

"By the way, my name is Chen Cuizhu, what is your name?"

"My name is Jiang Suisui, and I am glad to meet you!"

"Haha, OK, I'm also very happy. It just so happens that my sister-in-law is about to give birth recently, so I have to prepare some eggs at home. You will arrange with me first, and I will change it with you when I buy the cloth." Long Braid saw Jiang Sui Sui's eyes were a little hesitant, and he added, "Don't worry, I won't blame you. My family lives in this town. I'm not short of the money. Besides, it's definitely worth more than your exchange in the supply and marketing cooperative."

She leaned closer and lowered her voice: "I'll give you a market price of seven cents. I won't reduce the price, but I don't need a ticket. How about?"

Jiang Suisui thought about it for a while, and it’s a five-point exchange at the supply and marketing cooperative. It’s indeed more cost-effective to exchange with Chen Cuizhu.

But...it seems to be more precious these days.

Jiang Suisui turned his mind and asked, "I don't want to exchange money, can I exchange tickets?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Cuizhu immediately shook his head and said, "No."

"Tickets are so rare that they can't be changed."

"Well..." Jiang Suisui didn't dare to hold any hope, after all, many people had money but no tickets these days.

Chen Cuizhu saw that she was a little disappointed, so he comforted: "Our family has had a lot of things recently, and the tickets are not enough, otherwise I'll change it with you."

Then, she whispered a little embarrassedly: "I'm going to get married next spring, so I have to prepare a dowry for myself. I have all the tickets for my family to prepare for this."

"I'm here to buy cloth this time, it's for future marriage." Chen Cuizhu said happily, seeming to have fantasized about the beautiful scene of wearing new clothes when she married.

"Wow, congratulations!" Jiang Suisui quickly said.

Speaking of her own marriage, Chen Cuizhu seemed to have a lot of words: "The dragon and phoenix quilt has other miscellaneous things. My mother has prepared it for me. She made me prepare the clothes I want to wear. But my craftsmanship is not very good. , My sister-in-law is a good tailor. She brought a sewing machine when she got married. I thought it would be fine. When I got married, she helped me make clothes, but unfortunately, she was about to give birth recently, so she won’t be tired. I’m going to invite the town. The best tailor does it for me! It just costs more money!"

As Jiang Suisui listened, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Actually! I'm not a lie, I'm also a good tailor, why don't you think about me?"

"Huh?" Chen Cuizhu slapped Jiang Suisui's patched pants, and explained, "The tailor I am talking about is not sewing patches..."

"I know," Jiang Suisui nodded and smiled. "You are going to pull the fabric to cut out a dress. This is what I said."

Jiang Suisui is not nonsense. In her previous life, making handicrafts at home was also one of her great pleasures. She often cut clothes for herself with her mother, made small skirts, and could embroider simple patterns. Just embroidering is too tired, her mother won't let it.

I thought it would be useless in this place where the clothes are simple and only patched, but I didn't expect to let her discover some business opportunities.

Chen Cuizhu suddenly felt the self-confidence exuded by Jiang Suisui, but she still couldn't believe what crafts a young girl from the village could have? Eighty percent will only piece together the fabric.

She shook her head and said, "No, I'm making a wedding dress. I can't mess around. I'd rather spend more money to hire a tailor."

Jiang Suisui is a little anxious, so he can't miss it!

"It's different. I'm a little girl, and you are a little girl. The little girl knows best what style suits herself and other little girls. The tailor in the village or town, which one is not an older woman? The craftsmanship is indeed guaranteed. , But the style will always be the same! At most, I changed to new fabrics, and it feels the same as what you wear now."

Then she blurted out again: "If you are worried, do you try me first? Do you have any clothes that need to be repaired? Let me try it, no money! If you are not satisfied, I, I will put this basket of eggs give you!"

She lifted the basket and gestured to Chen Cuizhu.

Grandma, forgive your unfilial granddaughter...but the granddaughter will definitely not pay your eggs. Jiang Sui Sui said.

Chen Cuizhu was a little moved by her, but also infected by her determination. She pondered for a while, and felt that Jiang Suisui's words also had some truth. The tailors in the town did everything the same, but it was the difference of changing to a new fabric.

But... Can Jiang Suishi be able to make something different?

Chen Cuizhu rolled her eyes and said, "Well, my sister-in-law is currently preparing to make clothes for her unborn nephew, but she is a little uncomfortable with her baby, so she hasn't done much. My family has prepared a lot of old things. Cotton cloth, I'll secretly take a few pieces for you to try. You said, if you are not satisfied, send me the egg."

Jiang Suisui nodded quickly: "Of course, but I promise you are satisfied!"

"Sure!" Chen Cuizhu said boldly, "Then wait until I finish buying the cloth, you can go home with me, and you can make it at home in the afternoon for me to see."

"Good!" Jiang Suisui replied excitedly.

After a while...

and many more…

Did she forget something?

Suddenly, Jiang Suisui felt something was wrong. Soon, her inspiration flashed. That's not right! The ox cart in their village is going back at noon!

Chen Cuizhu found that Jiang Suisui was suddenly embarrassed, she teased: "What's wrong with you? Isn't it Lu Yu? That's okay, I don't have to have your basket of eggs, just don't do it."

"No, it's not." Jiang Suisui said frustrated. "It's the car in our village. It will be driven back at noon. If I don't leave at noon, I don't know how to get back."

"What's the matter with this?" Chen Cuizhu didn't expect to hear it. "Why do I still have a big problem? The village next to you, Heshi Village, do you know?"

Jiang Suisui nodded, and vaguely heard Granny Jiang say that she was close to her village, and the primary schools in the two villages were run together.

Chen Cuizhu continued: "I have a sister from Heshi Village. She is just about to go back to the village today. I can ask her to pick you up. She will leave in the evening."

Jiang Sui's eyes shined with stars: "Really?! That's great!"

Chen Cuizhu patted her chest: "Small things, her house is now living near my house. I'll just tell her when I go back."

"Wow!" Jiang Suisui happily rushed forward and hugged her, "Sister Cuizhu, I really got lucky when I met you!"

Chen Cuizhu was caught off guard, and she nervously said, "Hey, although you are a female, let's not hug and hug you in the street!"

"Hey!" Jiang Suisui let go and smiled.

Chen Cuizhu saw her smiling cutely, and couldn't help but smile: "Hey, it's because of your good looks."

"But... you look younger than me?" She looked at Jiang Suesei suspiciously, "I am already eighteen, so I should call your sister."

Jiang Suisui laughed a little, and said, "I am seventeen, but I think you look very tender, younger than me."

Flattery never goes out of style.

"Hey! I can marry someone, why might I be younger than you! But you, you are quite good at talking!" Chen Cuizhu said happily.

The two of them lined up, laughing, laughing, and suddenly felt that the line was not so tormented.

Before they knew it, they were finally lined up.

Chen Cuizhu boldly took out a handful of cloth tickets from his pocket and widened Jiang Suisui's eyes with surprise.

She had been observing for a long time, and most of the people in front bought them with two or three cloth tickets.

What a trench! Jiang Suisui felt like hugging her thigh.

Chen Cuizhu pulled a few pieces of white, blue and gray cotton cloth, and then picked another piece of good quality.

It's true that Liang is really expensive. Chen Cuizhu was in pain when he bought it, so he only bought one piece, which was only enough to make a half-length body.

Chen Cuizhu, who was bleeding heavily from both the ticket and the money, was holding a good material, and both happiness and distress accounted for half of the emotions.

"It's expensive, but the color is really bright... Unfortunately there is no red." By her time, there was only yellow material left.

Jiang Suisui leaned over to take a look, nodded and said, "It's very bright, it can be made into a skirt, it should look good." Fortunately, it is not khaki.

"Let's go!" Chen Cuizhu was holding the fresh and warm fabric, suddenly a little impatient, "Come home with me and let me see your craft!"
