The Pretty Military Wife
Chapter 220 Learning to Weave Clothes
Li Jie smiled and said:
“I really don’t understand.”
"It's okay. I'm here. I like doing this kind of handicrafts. I can knit a lot of different patterns for sweaters. Wait a minute. I'll show you how to do it."
Li Jie now became interested. If she really knitted a sweater for Lao Xu during this holiday, Lao Xu would probably be extremely happy.
Liang Xinyue did it right away. After winding the ball of thread here, she stood up and said:
"I'll cut some bamboo sticks for you."
Liang Xinyue made all her knitting needles herself, just because she had knitted a few pieces of clothing.
Liang Xinyue found a very hard bamboo piece and started to carve it herself:
"Sister Li, knitting this sweater requires at least three pairs of needles, one pair of short ones, one pair of thinner ones, and one pair of longer ones. This way it will be easier to knit. Take a look, and you can use needles of the same thickness as mine."
Li Jie saw it and hurried over to help. In a short while, she had sharpened the knitting needles.
Then she taught Li Jie how many stitches to cast on, how to knit, how to do the upper stitch, and how to do the lower stitch.
Once a person has a dream in his mind, his enthusiasm will be very high.
Although Li Jie is just a small state official, as a housewife, she can learn more ways to care for men, so she naturally wants to learn them well.
Li Jie stayed in front of Liang Xinyue all day. When someone called her for dinner, she stayed there without moving except to go to the toilet.
I looked down and saw that I had knitted about two inches and couldn't help but laugh:
"I really didn't learn this well. Look, some of these are high and some are low."
Liang Xinyue took it and looked at it, but praised it repeatedly:
"You knit really well. Look, I've knitted quite a few clothes, and mine are also uneven. It doesn't matter, as long as they're not too outrageous, you can wear them. After washing, don't wring them out, just hang them up. When they're dry, the uneven spots will be fixed."
Li Jie got a positive answer and was extremely happy.
We all had lunch at Liang Xinyue’s house.
In the afternoon, when Political Commissar Xu came out of the regiment, Li Jie first showed her knitting to Political Commissar Xu:
"Look, I really learned how to knit clothes."
Political Commissar Xu was also surprised and said:
"You learned it this afternoon?"
"Not just this afternoon, but also in the morning. I always have lunch here at Xinyue."
Political Commissar Xu laughed out loud:
"Should I praise you for your ability?"
Liang Xinyue originally wanted to keep the two of them at home for dinner, but Political Commissar Xu mentioned the food he had brought back from the cafeteria and said:
"No, I bought it and brought it back. But your sister-in-law doesn't know anything, so you have to teach her how to knit a sweater in the next two days."
"Haha, that's no problem. The weaving on it is very good. Sister Li is really a fast learner."
Political Commissar Xu and Li Jie went back to eat first. Zhou Guoliang had to work the night shift tonight, so he would not be back for dinner.
Liang Xinyue, Aunt Li and Qiu Yue'e just made some food. Now that the weather is cold, the food can be kept for a longer time. Sometimes the porridge they cook for Jiajia can be kept for another day and heated up for her to eat.
Currently, Aunt Li is doing it. When the weather gets cold, Liang Xinyue has to take care of the two children, and it is like a battle every morning.
Fortunately, I don’t have to go to the fields every day. Having two more children seems to mean a lot more work.
Liang Xinyue and Zou Wen settled the accounts two days ago. Overall, they made a profit this year. Firstly, the seeds they invested in the beginning were all sent by their family members, and the seeds invested later were all provided by the research institute.
When the institute asked for their data, they provided it all for free.
But Liang Xinyue herself knew that the value of the information she provided was definitely higher than the value of these seeds.
The things she brought from decades ago are enough to develop the planting industry in this barren place. If they can promote the agricultural development here, then the effect will be huge!
Liang Xinyue is confident that as long as this winter passes, everything will be fine.
After this winter, it will be proven that her greenhouse cultivation can be successful.
If the planting here is successful, it can be promoted here, and the people here will be blessed!
Liang Xinyue's plan is to make some changes to the lives of the people in this area. Bringing some benefits to the people is also the merit of Liang Xinyue wearing this dress.
In the past two days, Li Jie has really started a different life experience with Liang Xinyue.
As a cadre in the government, she had never been sent down to the countryside. Her family was well-off and she married a soldier, so she was always chosen as a role model. Year after year, she was now a deputy bureau-level leader.
But she had never experienced such a life. Every day, everyone went to work together, and when they came back, they might even cook together. No one cared about who was better or who was worse. No one cared about gains and losses.
This kind of life makes her feel relaxed and at ease. No wonder Lao Xu always asks her to come over and have a look.
"Sister Li, let's go. Today we have to clean up the green beans in the greenhouse. We can harvest the vines of this season's green beans, and then tie up the new batch of vines."
Liang Xinyue packed up the children and called her out.
"Here, wait for me, do you want to carry the babies out?"
"No, they are all asleep. Yaya and Aunt Li are watching them at home. Yaya will call me if there is anything."
Several people changed into their usual working clothes. With better living conditions and the presence of Liang Xinyue and Zou Wenqing, the women in the compound began to dress themselves up. Everyone had their own woolen coat and woolen scarf.
Even the clothes they wear for work are now uniform work clothes. This is a benefit Liang Xinyue gave them.
Although Li Jie had just arrived, a set was prepared for her. Even Qiu Yue'e, who came to work from time to time, had a set. When they asked Aunt Li to prepare a set, she refused, saying that she had not gone to work.
Today they are going to clear out the first batch of green beans in the greenhouse. The second season's beans are two feet tall now and will soon bloom and bear fruit.
Liang Xinyue made a lot of money this winter, delivering vegetables to various units in the county.
Moreover, this delivery became famous. Some units from the city came to the county to inspect the work and praised the fresh vegetables after eating them. After knowing where the vegetables were delivered, they began to contact Liang Xinyue. In this way, Liang Xinyue's vegetables no longer had to worry about sales.
The price is naturally higher than in spring. Several units asked to buy vegetables themselves, but Liang Xinyue refused.
She had discussed this with Zhou Guoliang. After all, this was a military unit, and it would be inappropriate to do business here. So whoever wanted it could place an order with Director Liao, and it would be delivered according to the order. Xiao Shun would handle it if there was an urgent need.
