Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

"I don't need it. Your brother and I were both given clothes by the military district. But he doesn't have any regular clothes. It's not good to wear military uniform all the time. There are always times when he can't wear it. His old clothes are all patched up and people laugh at him when he goes out. Besides, those clothes were made when we got married. It's been almost ten years in the blink of an eye."

Ma Liyue's face was full of smiles, as if she had returned to the time when she had just gotten married. She felt that the person she married was really good.

"Don't just think about me. You did it when you got married. It's different from mine! Do it for yourself, don't worry about us. A real man doesn't care about what clothes he wears. You women should wear nice clothes.

This way, when others see what you are wearing, they will not only envy you but also praise you.”

When Yang Qinghe heard what his wife said, he didn't like it. His clothes and his wife's were made together. If his had patches, his wife's must have had patches too.

He is usually careless and may not pay attention to some details, but he is also sincere to Ma Liyue.

"That's enough! I'm here to pick out fabrics for you, and you're still feeding me dog food. I protest, single people have no human rights anymore."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand! Speak properly."

Yang Qinghe's straight man behavior comes again. He is still confused, and when he looks at Ma Liyue, her face is red.

Although she didn't quite understand it, after all, the future Internet memes haven't been born yet, but it didn't prevent her from understanding it.

"I don't understand, I won't tell you. I won't say nice things for the second time. Sister-in-law, you've already paid for it, so just choose one for yourself. We have enough for us."

Ma Liyue looked at Yang Qingqing's face, which was not at all reluctant, and felt that what she said was right. After all, she paid for it, so it was not considered as taking advantage. So she picked out a blue one for herself. It was not dark blue, but a very beautiful navy blue.

"Second sister-in-law, this color suits you very well. If you wear it, it will definitely make you look fairer. It will make you look very healthy."

Yang Qingqing picked it up and gestured to Ma Liyue, as if she had seen her put on clothes, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I think this is great too. I'll be more than welcome then. Thank you, Qingqing. Do you know how to make clothes? Do you want me to teach you?"

"Okay! I'll come to you every night to make clothes together. I just want to learn. I saw Auntie Ma do it last time. I don't know how to use a sewing machine. Sister-in-law, can you teach me?"

"Okay, then it's a deal. Starting tomorrow, you come over at night and we'll do it together. But I have to say in advance that I'm not very skilled either, so don't laugh at me. Most of my clothes in the past few years have been made by my mother, so I can only say that I can, but I'm not proficient, hehe..."

"That's fine. I don't know how to sew at all. I've never even touched a sewing machine. Then let's make a deal. No one will dislike anyone, and no one will laugh at anyone."

"Okay. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my mom to come over. She will definitely make it."

"Okay, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow."

Yang Qingqing took the remaining cloth back. She hadn't counted them before, and now there were four pieces left. Two of them were very similar, both were black and white plaid, but the size of the plaid was different. There was also a striped one and a khaki one.

It just so happens that clothes can be made for all the family members, and with the altered ones from before, it can be guaranteed that everyone has at least two sets of cotton clothes.

After that, Yang Qingqing basically went to her second sister-in-law to make clothes every night. The two of them worked on it for three days without any progress, so they had to ask for help.

In the end, Zhao Xiaohua came over to give some guidance, and Yang Qingqing and Ma Liyue managed to print the version. All that was left was to sew it up and put on the cotton.

Yang Qingqing went to the county town on Saturday after a week and brought back the cotton. She also bought some goods.

She went to the county supply and marketing cooperative to have lunch with Yao Hongxia and brought her two kilograms of pine nuts, two kilograms of hazelnuts, and one kilogram of dried mushrooms. She got all of these from the space.

"Qingqing, I missed you so much. It took you so long to come and see me. I thought you had forgotten me!"

"Sister Hongxia, I just need to adapt to the new environment! I came to see you today and brought you some gifts. They are all local specialties from our countryside. See if you like them. How are you doing recently? Are you doing well?"

Yang Qingqing looked at Yao Hongxia's rosy face and felt that she was in a much better state than when she left.

"It's OK, but I don't know if Zhao Bowen has been drinking too much recently. He always comes to play with me, which is really annoying."

Yao Hongxia felt so angry when she thought about how people around her watched Zhao Bowen come to see her. How was she going to find a partner in the future? That damn stinky boy

Yang Qingqing felt that Yao Hongxia was up to something! However, she didn't seem to have reacted yet, and she didn't want to point it out. After all, this was all her guess. If she didn't mean that, it would be very embarrassing.

"Why? If you don't want to go, then don't go! How can he force you to go? You are not a vegetarian."

"You think I don't want to refuse, but he always uses different reasons. I didn't refuse, mainly because I met two gangsters after get off work last time, and he saved me. I can't be ungrateful."

"Oh! So..."

Yao Hongxia covered Yang Qingqing's mouth with her hand, looked around, and when she found no one was watching, she let go.

"Keep your voice down, you're disturbing others."

"Okay! I was just too excited. Does this count as a hero saving a beautiful girl? Who else is so blind as to block you? Aren't you afraid of your uncle?"

"That's right, he didn't even ask what my uncle does. He's really blind. He actually... It's become like this. I'm embarrassed to refuse him every time. And do you think he's sick? We've watched a movie twice, and he still watched it. It's so annoying."

"What kind of movie is this good? Can't I watch it twice?"

"It's just about flowers being the matchmaker. I don't know what's so good about it. I don't really understand it. I feel sleepy when I hear opera. I don't know why he likes it so much."

Yang Qingqing felt that Zhao Bowen's expression was obvious enough. How come Yao Hongxia didn't know anything about it? It turned out that she went to sleep while others were listening to the opera.

Isn't Zhao Bowen playing the piano for the deaf and performing for the blind? I don't know when they will find out about this.

But Yang Qingqing didn't want to point it out. Although she had heard of this play before, Yang Qingqing didn't know it now.

"Okay, don't be angry! Why don't you just ask him directly? He can't eat you."

"I see. Mainly because I don't want my parents to know that there are hooligans harassing me, so as not to worry them. Anyway, the matter has been resolved. But you are right. I must ask him about it when I have time. I don't want to go to the theater anymore. It's so annoying."

"Okay, stop bothering me. I have to go to work soon, so let's go. I also have to catch the bus. I'll come see you later when I have time."

"Okay, be careful on your way. I'm going back to work."

"no problem!"

Yang Qingqing and Yao Hongxia separated, still thinking, I didn't expect Sister Hongxia's suitor to appear so soon, I don't know if the two of them are destined to be together? Can they be a family? I will ask next time.
