Eating melons

Liu Aiying paused and said, "Wei girl, you didn't suffer any loss, did you? Your fabrics are all good materials!"

Wei Wei:...I told you that you must know and must have seen it.

But Wei Wei didn't say anything, just smiled and shook her head, "Auntie, don't worry, we are all comrades who have fought together, how could you possibly cheat me!

I didn't suffer any loss, in fact, I got the better deal! After all, oil and meat are more valuable than cloth."

I'm not like you who just wants to take advantage. You want to exchange such a small amount of firewood for such good fabric? I'm thinking of Peach.

Before, it was only because I didn't care that I exchanged so many defective cloths for you. If you hadn't cheated me or I didn't know that you cheated me, I might have exchanged some for you, but now I don't want to exchange.

Liu Aiying paused. "Traded it with oil and meat? These two are such spendthrifts. But as long as you didn't get hurt, that's fine. Do you still have the scraps of fabric?"

Wei Wei pointed at the cracks in the windows and doors and said, "They've all been cut up and caulked."

Liu Aiying took a closer look and saw that it was indeed all new scraps of fabric. "Oh my! Such good fabric, you cut all of it to fill the seams? The gaps between my fingers are too big!"

Wei girl, I'm not saying anything to you, but you really don't know how to live like this. You have a lot of large scraps of fabric that can be used to mend clothes, make shoes, or make soles.

This seam can be filled with anything, mud, straw, or wood. Taking such fine fabric and cutting it into pieces, even if you take it out, you can't use it. It's such a waste."

Wei Wei os: My fingers are not very close together, can you guys take advantage of me?

Liu Aiying: "So much fabric is stuffed in here? So much stuffed in here?"

Wei Wei nodded. "Yes, they have all been filled out. But it's not just my family's, Jiang Qi's family, Xiao Zhiqing's, and Li Zhiqing's families have also filled out theirs in the same way, so they've all been used up."

Upon hearing this, Liu Aiying was so angry that she almost couldn't catch her breath and could only slap her thigh.

"Ouch! That's such a waste. Is this how all four of you fill it out?"

Wei Wei pretended to be stunned. "Yeah! Is it not allowed to fill it in like this?"

Liu Aiying also realized that she was too excited and slowed down her tone. "It's not that you can't, it's just that it's not necessary. Those fabrics are all good things."

Wei Wei smiled, pretending to be relieved, "As long as it can be used and block the wind, it's fine, Auntie. Those fabrics are useless.

It was too small to make any clothes out of, and we had no clothes to mend, and as for shoes, we didn't know how to make them.

So these scraps of fabric are of no use to us, so we just cut them up.”

Liu Aiying: ...It's useless to you because you don't know anything. But it's very useful to us.

Your parents are both leaders of a textile factory, so there is naturally no shortage of fabric at home and your clothes don't need to be mended.

But look at others, look at everyone's family, they have patched clothes. There are only a handful of people who have clothes without patches. There are many people who can't even find a single piece of clothes without patches at home.

Wei Wei looked at Liu Aiying's painful expression and smiled, "I'm sorry! Auntie, I really don't have any fabric, so I'll just exchange the firewood for money."

Liu Aiying knew that Wei Wei was probably out of fabric, so she let it go. "Okay, just give me twenty yuan."

"it is good."

After saying that, Wei Wei took out two big unity notes from her pocket and handed them to Liu Aiying, who took them with a smile.

At this time, a member of the Zhang family came over carrying a big sack.

Wei Wei seemed to have seen it at the foot of the mountain, but she wasn't sure if it was. "What is this?"

Liu Aiying looked at Wei Wei in confusion. "This is tree hair, used for making fire, don't you know? Then what do you use to make fire?"

Wei Wei os: First I bought some newspapers, then I bought some firewood and a lighter from the system mall, and it lit up immediately.

But this cannot be burned.

Wei Wei: "Use leaves and twigs."

Liu Aiying: "That thing doesn't burn well and it wastes matches. This tree hair burns easily."

Wei Wei: "What is this? Is it a pine tree?"

Liu Aiying: "No, it's red pine branches."

"Oh oh."

Wei Wei nodded, not quite understanding.

The firewood was piled up and the Zhang family left. As soon as they left, Wei Wei leaned against the door and laughed. There was nothing she could do about it. Liu Aiying hadn't laughed since she found out there was no cloth!

It is said that a smile will not disappear, it will only shift. It turns out that the ancients were right.

Jiang Qi also laughed at Wei Wei's crazy look, "Something happy must have happened, let me have some fun too."

Wei Wei told Jiang Qi what had just happened, and Jiang Qi also laughed.

Jiang Qi snorted, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. They are addicted to taking advantage of others."

Jiang Qi looked at Wei Wei, "She didn't give you the cold shoulder, did she?"

Wei Wei shook her head, "Not really."

Jiang Qi sighed, "Let's have less contact in the future!"

Wei Wei: "It's impossible not to contact them! Their family has a captain. With this captain's reputation, he's almost as powerful as a local tyrant here.

They hold our life and death in their hands. If we don't get along well, what will we do with the autumn harvest next year? Will we die of exhaustion in the fields?

If we just give up and quit, he will just erase our records and neither of us will be able to argue.

By then, my chances of getting into university will be ruined. If I can’t get into university, I’ll have to rely on him for a letter of introduction, otherwise we’ll both be illegal immigrants and migrant workers.

If this captain is not pragmatic, we should find a way to get him out of office.

But this team leader is quite capable and fair in his work. He is a good cadre serving the people. We cannot harm others because of personal grudges.

So apart from coaxing her, we can’t do anything openly.”

If you want to do something, you can only do it secretly and without arousing suspicion, but this is not so easy.
