time flies.

Ye Chu goes to school every day, and when he comes home from school, he helps to weed pigs.The five pigs ate a lot, and his father couldn't handle it all by himself.What's more, raising pigs is not only about weeding pigs, but the more challenging task is actually cleaning the pig pens.

Ye Haibo did this work by himself without her help at all.Ye Chu used his own pocket money to buy a pair of rubber boots for him at the commune supply and marketing cooperative over a weekend. They were slightly defective and they were free of charge.

Ye Haibo was very happy and dressed carefully when working.Wear it not only when cleaning the pig pen at home, but also when planting rice in the fields, and even on rainy days.Sometimes the road is almost dry and he is still wearing it.

Everyone laughed at him: "The ground is almost dry, why are you still wearing boots? Just show off that you have a pair of boots!"

He was waiting for others to say this, and immediately said: "The ground is not dry yet, and you will still be muddy when you step on it. It's better to wear boots. The boots Xiaoba bought for me are so good." "

Everyone: "..." left.

During this time, the two of them impressed fellow members and friends.The two people's lazy image gradually changed.

"Xiaoba has grown up, become sensible, and knows how to help her father with work."

"Hai Bo has been a lot more diligent recently, and his age has not been in vain. If he can keep doing this and live a good life, he should be able to find a wife."

"Yeah, he's just 35, he's still young."

"Then we have to take another look. After all, he has been lazy for more than 30 years and has only been diligent for three months."

"It's been more than three months. He has been very diligent since last autumn. It must be eight or nine months."

So, someone asked Ye Haibo what he thought about finding a partner. He said: "I don't have any idea, I don't want to find a partner at all."

He really didn't want to look for it, he had no such worldly desires.

Someone else came to ask Ye Chu: "Xiaoba, if your father finds you a mother, would you be happy?"

"I'm happy when my dad is happy."

"Then what kind of mother do you want?"

"It all depends on my dad."

No one found out anything from the two men.Of course, everyone is just asking casually now, and no one has asked them to be the matchmaker.

After the wheat harvest, the production team gave everyone a day off.Ye Chu's school didn't have holidays, but Ye Haibo gave her a day off.

"Didn't you say you wanted to buy some good ones? Let's go to the commune and see if they are available."

Ye Chu: "..." She casually said at that time that fabrics like Deliang are actually polyester, a chemical fiber fabric. It does not absorb sweat, is not breathable, and becomes translucent when wet, so it is not a good fabric.

Moreover, at this time, there was no large-scale production of Deliang. The output was small and the price was high. Their small commune should not have it.

But I don’t have to go to school to sit on a bench and can go out for a walk, which is pretty good.

So, she happily followed Ye Haibo and set off.

There are many people going to the town, some carrying a load of vegetables, and some carrying baskets with eggs in them, all going to the town to sell.This kind of behavior is allowed, as long as it is your own property, the quantity is not large.Can be exchanged publicly.

This load of vegetables can probably be exchanged for a few eggs.Eggs can be sold directly to supply and marketing cooperatives.

Someone else asked Ye Haibo: "Didn't you raise a few chickens this year? Haven't you laid eggs yet? Why don't you save them and sell them?"

Ye Haibo: "...Forget it, half of them are roosters. The other half don't like to lay eggs." I'm kidding you, those six hens have already started laying eggs, and they lay almost every day, but he and Xiaoba consume a lot of energy every day. Three or four, the remaining Xiaoba wants pickled salted eggs.

The lady who asked the question looked sympathetic and began to teach him her experience in raising chickens and how to make hens lay more eggs.

Ye Haibo didn't want to hear it at all!

"Sister-in-law, we have to leave first. Xiaoba has taken half a day off and has to come back early. She still goes to school in the afternoon."

"Oh, okay, okay. Then you go quickly."

Ye Haibo pulled Ye Chu and walked quickly.He left everyone behind before slowing down.

The two of them have been practicing for several months, and they are still neither blushing nor out of breath.

Ye Chu taught him his experience: "Dad, the best way to deal with aunties is to say yes and no unnecessary words. Otherwise you will have to face a situation like today."

Ye Haibo nodded, indicating that he had learned.

There are many people in the commune supply and marketing cooperative, and the nearby villages are probably on holiday today.

Ye Haibo pulled Ye Chu through the crowd and squeezed to the counter selling fabrics. When he found that there was no genuine fabric, Ye Chu was not disappointed.Anyway, I bought all the fabric tickets and bought other fabrics to make clothes.

After the two squeezed out, Ye Chu said, "Dad, wait for me at the door. I'll buy some mung bean cake."

Ye Haibo didn't want to squeeze anymore.Most of the people who came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things were lesbians, and it was inconvenient for him to squeeze in and out.

"Be careful. Don't let people crowd you down. I'll stand here waiting for you, don't be anxious."

Ye Chu nodded, taking advantage of his thin body, and quickly got to the pastry counter.

She met the salesperson from last time again, and this time she always had a smile on her face, and it looked like she had practiced doing it.

When he saw Ye Chu, the smile on his face became even brighter.

Ye Chu thought in his mind, did she leave a psychological shadow on others?

Unexpectedly, when the salesperson saw her, she enthusiastically said to her: "Comrade, do you remember me? After you criticized me last time, I changed my service attitude. Well, as soon as I was done, someone wrote me a letter of praise. In the first quarter selection, I ranked first. Thank you."

Ye Chu was embarrassed by what she said.She quickly replied: "You're welcome, you're welcome. You are doing well as you are now, you look more beautiful."

The saleswoman smiled even more happily and said to Ye Chu: "The mung bean cake is new today, and there are also some nutritional supplements that are free of charge. The price is a little higher than the ones that require tickets. You can take a look if you want."

Ye Chu: "Okay, okay, thank you, comrade!"

She bought two kilograms of mung bean cake and two bags of milk powder. She said goodbye to the new saleswoman and went out again like a loach.

As soon as Ye Haibo saw her, he came up to her, took the things in her hand, and put them in the cloth bag he brought.

"Do you want to buy anything else?"

"I won't buy it. Go home."

She bought pastries and milk powder, which was already a big deal.When people from the village come to visit the commune supply and marketing cooperative, many of them just look at and buy nothing.

"Do you still want money for tailors to make clothes?" Ye Haibo asked.

"Okay. I want to make cropped pants."

"Crisp pants? Shorter?"

Ye Chu nodded.

"Then the tailor won't buy your pictures."

"Why? Capri pants, they look cool and look good, and they save fabric."

"No one specializes in making short pants. People think they look awkward, and they think it's because the pants are too short and they don't want to make new ones. Maybe the aunt in the village will suggest you to add a length below. What else can you do? It's better to make a skirt. It can be longer or shorter."

"I don't want a skirt, it won't be convenient for work."

"It's just that it's inconvenient to go out and mow the grass, so don't mow it yet. After summer is over and you don't wear a skirt, you can mow the grass again."

"No. I have to work. My current social image has finally improved. I know that everyone is praising me behind my back." Ye Chude said.

Ye Haibo: "You are stupid or not. What does it matter what others say? If you keep doing it after the summer, they will still praise you."

"It's not just because of this. I wear short pants. People think that our family can't afford fabrics, so we can better maintain our image as poor and lower-middle peasants. We don't show off our wealth, do you understand?"

Ye Haibo looked shocked: "What kind of wealth do we have?"

Ye Chu: "..."

She said stubbornly: "Not yet. It will happen sooner or later."

"Then do you still need money to tailor?"

"No more looking for it, I'll do it myself." Ye Chu said.

After two days, both men put on shorter pants.

Fortunately for Ye Chu, she is a fair and clean girl who looks good even with a shorter length, but no one talks about her.

Ye Haibo was miserable. Wherever he went, people would ask him: "What's wrong with your pants? Did you ask a tailor to make them for you? Did he get the wrong size?"

Ye Haibo: "...it's not Tailor Qian, it's made by Xiaoba. It's not a mistake, it's intentional. It's cool and saves fabric. Look at your trousers, don't they all have their trouser legs rolled up? Like me What's the difference."

"The difference is huge. In the fall, we can put the rolled-up trousers down and wear them again, can you?"

Ye Haibo: "..." This reason is so strong that he cannot refute it.

His Xiaoba still lacks life experience. In her eyes, clothes are divided into four seasons.But in fact, except for clothes that are too seasonal, such as cotton-padded jackets and cotton trousers, or clothes made of Liang materials, most other clothes are worn in all seasons, such as pants and jackets, which are worn alone in summer and covered with cotton-padded clothes in winter. Outside.

In this way, you don’t need to wash your cotton-padded clothes all winter long. You only need to wash the outer clothes.When everyone makes clothes, they also make the size larger, otherwise they won’t be able to fit in during the winter.

Therefore, the clothes of the villagers do not fit particularly well, and they all look fat.Leave space for winter cotton coats.The size of Xiaoba's clothes, even trousers, can only be worn in summer.In winter, they can only be worn close to the body as underpants.

Since they can only be used as underpants, it doesn't matter if they are longer or shorter.

That's what he thought, but he continued what the villagers were saying: "It sounds like we're running out of cloth. Which one of you has extra cloth tickets and can you give me two?"

Villager: "..." walked away.
