Chapter 64: sewing machine

Views:

When I didn't know I was pregnant, I just didn't have a good appetite. As a result, when I found out that I was pregnant, it was like pressing a strange switch. I lost my appetite and vomited. Su Yue vomited especially badly. The taste is unpleasant, and each meal can only barely drink a gruel that has no taste.

In just a few days, Su Yue lost a lot of weight, and her face was very pale, as if the wind could blow it away. But Han Aiguo was worried that it was broken, and he made delicious food for her to eat, but he couldn't eat it all.

Su Yue teased herself that she now has the charm of a sick and weak Xizi.

Ma Cuiyun came downstairs to visit with wool, and was shocked to see Su Yue like this, "Sister, are you sick?"

Su Yue poured her a glass of water, and then said: "I'm not sick, but I can't eat anything now, it's very disgusting."

After all, Ma Cuiyun is a person who has given birth to two children. He has experience. As soon as he heard what she said, he looked at her stomach and asked with a smile, "Is there any movement?"

Although the custom here is not to tell others about it when the pregnancy is not stable in the first three months of pregnancy, there is no need to hide it from those close to you. Su Yue nodded, "I just found out, it's only been more than a month."

"That's a good thing." But seeing Su Yue's pale face, she couldn't help but worry, "You've started to react in just over a month, and you don't know how long you'll be punished for it. The woman who vomited from the beginning to the end, I hope you are not like this."

Su Yue sighed helplessly, "I didn't know the reaction of pregnancy would be so big, but now I see it." The courage was about to vomit.

"Women, having a child is suffering." Ma Cuiyun couldn't help but talk about her own childbirth, "When I was pregnant with my Dani, I didn't react at all, and what I ate was delicious, but I was still in the countryside at that time, and there was a mother-in-law at home. When I was in the house, I couldn’t even eat an egg, and I had to be scolded by the old woman for being gluttonous. Later, when I was pregnant with the second child, we separated and finally we could make our own decisions, but I was unlucky. It turned out to be unsatisfactory again, but it made me angry."

Su Yue was laughed at by her.

Having said that, Ma Cuiyun suddenly patted his thigh and said, "I had a big reaction at that time, and I couldn't eat anything, but I liked those sour ones, especially pickled sour radishes. I could eat several of them when I caught them, girl. I just pickled a jar of sour radishes a year ago, wait, I'll get you some to taste."

After Ma Cuiyun finished speaking, he went home. After a few minutes, he came back with a large bowl of sour radish in his hand, "I accidentally pickled this radish sour, it's so sour, my man and two children don't like to eat it. , but try to see if you can eat it."

Su Yueguang felt sour when he smelled it, but the strange thing was that he didn't feel nauseated like other foods when he smelled it. She was involuntarily interested, picked one up with chopsticks and chewed it in her mouth, but she felt that it was not sour at all, but very delicious, crunchy and refreshing, and felt that her taste buds were opened at once.

"Sister Ma, this is delicious. It's not sour at all." Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she took another stick and put it into her mouth to chew slowly.

"Not sour?" Ma Cuiyun laughed when she saw her like this, "What's not sour, I feel very sour when I eat it now, it's because you are pregnant that you like to eat sour, so you don't feel sour. Pregnant with me The second time was exactly the same. Later, I will send you the jar of sour radishes from my house, and then you can eat porridge or rice with the radishes. Anyway, you can eat something, but you can't stop eating when you are pregnant. "

It was rare for Su Yue to be able to eat without vomiting, and she was not polite to her at the moment, so she said, "Then I will not be polite to you, Sister Ma. When I'm healed, I'll give you another jar of pickles."

Ma Cuiyun waved his hand indifferently, "What else is there to pay, just this carrot, it's not worth much."

Su Yue looked at Ma Cuiyun's skillful posture in making sweaters, and immediately thought of the fabric she bought. She felt that there was a ready-made master, and she had to ask for advice. I don't even know how big it is and what style I want to make, so I don't know where to start.

Su Yue quickly asked: "Sister Ma, can you make clothes, right? I just bought some fabrics and wanted to make some small clothes for my children, but I'm not very good at it. You can teach me when you have time."

Ma Cuiyun agreed, "It's easy to make clothes, just take out the fabric and I'll teach you."

Su Yue took out the fabric that she bought a few days ago, and Ma Cuiyun immediately went home and used it to make clothes. First, she used talcum powder to draw the outline of the clothes on the fabric, and then cut out the outline with scissors. All right.

"That's good. Next, just take the needle and thread and sew it up. It's very simple."

Su Yue couldn't help admiring it. Women at this time are really versatile. They can make clothes, sweaters, and shoes. Unlike her, it takes months to finish a sweater, making clothes and shoes. Completely blinded.

Su Yue watched Ma Cuiyun sew for a while, and then she was barely able to sew it. She took over the clothes and sewed it herself. If she couldn't sew, she had to be sewed by others. This last step had to be done by herself.

But when Ma Cuiyun sewed it quickly and beautifully, it was really her turn, and Su Yue realized how difficult it was. She couldn't sew in a straight line, instead she was crooked and sparse. What made her even more desperate was that the thread was knotted before a few stitches had been sewed, and she had to stop and carefully untie the knotted thread.

Ma Cuiyun couldn't help laughing after watching Su Yue sewing for a while, "I said girl, now I believe you have never made clothes." Even her eight-year-old girl sewed better than this one.

Su Yue scratched her head in shame, she really couldn't do it well.

Ma Cuiyun is going to take the clothes from Su Yue's hands, "I'll sew it for you, girl, I'll be able to fix this in a while."

Su Yue quickly waved her hand, "I'll come by myself, I have to learn it. There's still a lot of clothes to do in the future, so I can't just find someone else to sew it for me."

Ma Cuiyun thinks about it too. All the clothes and quilts at home need to be needled. So he patiently told her how to sew, which was like giving her all the money.

Su Yue listened carefully, but this hand was not very good, and the stitched feet were still crooked and sparse. What made her speechless was that sometimes the sewing thread was knotted but couldn't be untied, so she had to I could only bite off the thread ahead of time and start again, but half of my clothes were not sewn in a day.

Su Yue wanted to beat herself, but she never thought she would be so stupid.

When Han Aiguo came back, he saw Su Yue sitting on the sofa with a face of bitterness and hatred, walked over and hugged her, glanced at the fabric in her hand, a smile flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Where Sew children's clothes?"

Su Yue subconsciously hid the stitched area, not wanting Han Aiguo to see the messy stitches. But Han Aiguo's eyes are so sharp. She saw the unsightly stitches early in the morning, and she was amused. Her daughter-in-law didn't think that she could eat and eat neatly, but she didn't know anything about these needlework, and making clothes was also embarrassing for her.

Seeing the smile in his eyes, Su Yue blushed and pushed him, trying to win her respect: "I just want to learn slowly, there are still nine months, it's enough for me to learn, to It looks good when sewn."

Han Aiguo let out an "um", took the cut fabric from her hand, took the needle and thread from her hand, and continued to sew along where she had sewed before, saying, "Then You've been busy all day, take a break, and I'll sew you for a while."

Su Yue just wanted to say that you, a big man, are not as good as me, but when she saw Han Aiguo's skillful movements and neatly sewn stitches, she swallowed it hard.

My god, this man can sew clothes! And it was sewn in a decent manner, much better than what she sewed! Who are the two women

Su Yue was about to be stunned by Han Aiguo's skill, and stammered and asked, "How, how can you sew this?"

Han Aiguo kept moving his hands and explained: "In the army for so many years, I sewed everything by myself. It is normal to be able to sew this."

Su Yue couldn't help being awe-inspiring to Han Aiguo, she really had all eighteen skills. Bull is bad.

In the end, this little dress was sewn by Han Aiguo in one night. Su Yue, who was supposed to sew clothes, had nothing to do. clothing.

Fortunately, no outsiders saw this scene, otherwise they would definitely laugh at Han Aiguo, who would do this kind of work at home these days, most of them wouldn't even enter the kitchen.

However, Su Yue felt guilty. He had been training in the military camp for a day, and when he came back, he had to help her with housework, and now he had to sew her clothes. He was too tired.

Su Yue discussed with him: "patriotic, let's find a way to buy a sewing machine for our family. After we have children, there will be more things to do and change clothes. I don't know much about this. I will learn the sewing machine, and the clothes I will make will not be so ugly in the future."

Han Aiguo nodded without thinking, "I'll ask my comrades tomorrow to see if anyone has a sewing ticket in hand.

After saying this, he said again: "I telegraphed to my family today and told my mother about your pregnancy, and my mother must be happy."

Su Yue also thought about this open-minded and easy-going old lady, so she said: "When you have time, I will pick up my mother and the fourth to come here for a few days, I haven't seen them for a long time, I just don't know my mother. Can you spare some time, the third daughter-in-law should be giving birth soon, and the mother may have to wait for her confinement."

Sure enough, I received a letter from my family within a few days. The letter was written by Han Aimin on behalf of the old lady. The letter said that the old lady was overjoyed to know that Su Yue was pregnant. She had already saved eggs and brought it later, and said the third child. The daughter-in-law is due to give birth in two months. After serving her confinement, she will pack up and come here for Su Yue to serve her confinement.

In addition to this matter, Han Aimin also stated his own situation in the letter. He is currently in the fifth grade of the primary school in the brigade, and his grades are the best in his class. He will be able to get his primary school graduation certificate in June this year. You can go to Zhenshan Commune Middle School and go to junior high school. He also said that he would take the time to teach Lotus what he had learned in school every night when he came back, and Lotus studied very seriously.

Su Yue was very happy after reading it, and when she looked at Han Aimin's words on the letter, it was much prettier than when she left. She wanted to come to the fourth child to study hard at home.

A few days later, Han Aiguo borrowed a sewing ticket from a comrade-in-arms. It turned out that this comrade-in-arms bought it for his daughter-in-law for marriage, but who knew that he was away from home for a long time, and the person he introduced became interested in someone else. The marriage broke down, and he was not in the mood to buy a sewing machine, so he gave this ticket to Han Aiguo. .

Su Yue went to the supply and marketing agency with a sewing ticket, and found the salesperson and asked if there were any sewing machines. The salesperson said that the supply and marketing agency was out of stock for the time being, but two will be delivered in just two days. one.

As soon as Su Yue heard it, she hurriedly gave the ticket to the salesperson and asked her to write a note saying that she wanted to book first.

Su Yue thanked the sales clerk and left, but she happened to be seen by Fang Xiaoli who came out of the office. She came over and asked the sales clerk, "What's the matter with that woman just now?"

Fang Xiaoli is the accountant of the supply and marketing cooperative. In addition, she has rights at home and has a good relationship with the major leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative. Therefore, she is very respected in the supply and marketing cooperative. Everyone is polite to her, so the salesperson asked her, He answered truthfully: "The girl just wanted to buy a sewing machine and just ordered one."

Fang Xiaoli's eyes flickered, and she said, "I remember that two sewing machines will arrive in two days, right? It's a bit tight, maybe the leaders of those agencies want to buy them, but they don't have them when they come to us, this is not to offend others. I'm not happy, I can't sell it to ordinary people who have no status, but not to their leaders, what do you think?"

The sales clerk is also a good person. Fang Xiaoli immediately understood when she said this, and quickly said, "Isn't that the truth? I forgot all about it. Fortunately, Accountant Fang reminded me that this sewing machine can't be sold to her. When the time comes, I will Give her the ticket back."

Fang Xiaoli smiled with satisfaction, exchanged a few more greetings, and left with a smile.

The salesperson said something embarrassing to Su Yue in her heart, but she made up her mind not to sell this sewing machine to her. Even if no one bought it, it couldn't be sold to her. Who told her to offend Fang Accounting so unfortunately? She can't offend Fang Accounting if she doesn't want to sell it.

How did Su Yue know there would be so many follow-ups? After returning home, she waited for a few days in anticipation, and when the time came, she hurried to the supply and marketing agency to get a sewing machine, but she received her sewing ticket a few days ago. The sales clerk threw the ticket back to her with a cold face, and said with a cold face: "There are only two, and they are sold out. You will come again next time."

Su Yue: "But didn't you say that you can make a reservation? I have already made a reservation, and you have already charged me for your tickets. Now you say no?"

The sales clerk snorted, "You can make a reservation, and others can make reservations. They make reservations before you. Of course, it's not your turn."

Su Yue didn't believe it at all, "You clearly said that there are two sets. If someone booked before me, why didn't you tell me? Why do you still accept my booking? I think you didn't sell it to me on purpose."

The salesman was struck by her thoughts, and felt impatient, waving her hand to drive her away, "I tell you, don't make a noise here, this is not a place where you can make a noise, hurry up, or I will ask someone to throw it out for you. !"

There were many people around watching the fun, but no one stood up to speak, not even the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperatives were nowhere to be seen.

Su Yue said with a sullen face: "Where are your leaders? Ask your leaders to come out and let him judge!"

The salesman rolled his eyes in disdain, and the spit was almost sprayed on Su Yue's face, "What are you? Our leader can be seen if you want? You'd better leave me quickly, don't make trouble here, Otherwise, I'll be really rude to you."

Saying that, she actually called a few men and glared at her.

Su Yue was so angry, but looking at this situation, she knew that it would be useless to continue her theory. People had made it clear that she would go back on it, and the leaders were unwilling to come forward to solve the matter. She couldn't find anyone to reason with her. no way.

Now she still has a child in her belly. If she really pushes and pushes it, she will have nowhere to regret hurting the child.

Thinking of this, Su Yue swallowed her chest abruptly and turned to leave with her own ticket, but she couldn't help but wonder if the salesperson deliberately didn't sell it to her, or if the sewing machine had really been bought by someone else. gone

If it was intentional, why would it be? Wasn't it fine a few days ago

However, she had a quarrel with the salesperson. The salesperson knew her. If she went to buy it again, she would definitely not sell it to her. If she wanted to find out, she had to go to someone else. So, Su Yue went back to find Ma Cuiyun, gave her the sewing ticket, told her about the supply and marketing agency, and asked her to take the ticket to ask.

Ma Cuiyun agreed immediately. The next day, he took the ticket and money and went to the supply and marketing agency to buy a sewing machine, pretending he didn't know anything. It was the same salesman who heard Ma Cuiyun said that he was buying a sewing machine. After a few glances, let her wait for a while, and then people don't know where to go.

After waiting for a while, the salesman came back and said coldly, "Our sewing machines are sold out, and they are out of stock for the time being. Let's go."

Ma Cuiyun felt that something was wrong and immediately shouted: "Why didn't you say no just now? Why did you say no after disappearing? Did you deliberately not sell it to me?"

The sales clerk patted the counter, "If you don't have it, you don't have it anymore. There are only two sets in total. Where can you get those from the countryside? Hurry up when you know each other! Don't delay my work, or I'll find someone to shoot you out!"

Ma Cuiyun was a violent temper, and the salesman got into a quarrel with her on the spot, but in the end he didn't buy a sewing machine, and went back to the family home angrily to tell Su Yue about the situation.

"I think there is something wrong with the salesperson. I didn't say no. It seems that he wanted to sell it to me, but he disappeared and came back with a change of attitude."

Su Yue was also puzzled in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what was going on. Seeing that neither of them could buy it, she gave up hope and said, "Sister Ma, since it doesn't matter, I'll wait and see. Let's see if the supply and marketing agency can buy one next time when they have stock."

Ma Cuiyun had no other choice, so he said: "If you can't buy it, just sew it by hand. It's not too troublesome to sew children's clothes by hand. I think the clothes you sewed last time are pretty good-looking, and you have made great progress. ."

Su Yue: ... I didn't sew it, it was made by my family, Han Aiguo, but I can't say that.
