After returning home at night, after eating, he bathed Yingbao first, and then asked Zhao Donglin to bathe Heidan.
Heidan is a boy. Although he is young, Jiahui still has some taboos about taking a bath. After all, he is not his own. Four years old is not too young. Saved an errand.
It’s late November now, and the weather is getting colder every day. Most farmers don’t take a bath every day, especially children. Washing once every few days is considered diligent. Waiting until the twelfth lunar month, children who don’t take a bath for ten and a half months or even a winter both.
Dong Jiahui came from the modern era, so she couldn't stand this. She took a bath every day, and set a rule for Yingbao, who bathed every three days in this season, and once a week in winter.
In order not to cause trouble for others, Dong Jiahui boiled the bath water herself, and sometimes Zhao Donglin also helped. The bathing room is a separate water room, which is complete with wooden barrels, plastic tents, and fragrant soap.
Zheng Yuefen scoffed at Jiahui's habit of taking a bath every day, saying that she was hypocritical and was about to catch up with Wang Mei before. A clean and tidy home is your face.
"Did you see the watch on my sister-in-law's wrist? It's still new. I haven't seen her wearing it before. Maybe someone bought it."
Dong Jiahui took off her watch when she came back from the warehouse. It is inconvenient to wear a watch for work. Although it is not a watch with six or seven figures in later generations, in this era, watches are already very high-end things. It is Zhao Donglin again. As a gift, Dong Jiahui cherishes it very much.
Zhao Donghe can't listen to Zheng Yuefen talking about this all day long, why should he compare himself with others? Comparing what clothes my sister-in-law wears, what kind of watch she wears, and how kind my mother is to my sister-in-law, this day is non-stop.
"Can you stop thinking about what's in other people's bowls, no matter who bought it, it's all from your sister-in-law. If you're envious, you can buy a piece yourself."
"Hey, what do you mean, I just want to say, you are so angry at me? I want to buy it, how can I buy it if I don't have money or tickets? It's not like you don't know, we don't have a penny on us, and the dividends at the end of each year don't matter. Give it all to our mother."
Zheng Yuefen's voice became smaller and smaller, obviously knowing that she shouldn't say that, Zhao Donghe glared at her, and left the room angrily, feeling the black and chopping firewood to relieve his anger.
Dong Jiahui was sitting in front of the window with a kerosene lamp on to mend Heidan's trouser legs. When she saw Zhao Donghe who was chopping wood, she said to Zhao Donglin amusedly, "Why is your brother chopping firewood in the dark? Don't use your legs as firewood."
There was a joke before, that you can't see if you don't turn on the lights when you eat at night, and someone ate food into your nostrils.
Zhao Donglin reckoned that the second brother and younger siblings had quarreled again, originally he was thinking with a cold face, but when he heard his daughter-in-law making jokes, he also smiled.
Zhao Donglin wanted to go out at first, but after thinking about it, there is no need for him to get involved in the matter of their young couple. If they want to quarrel, let them quarrel. It is useless not to understand many things.
Dong Jiahui sewed the trouser legs, and then measured the size. She saved the fabric and cotton and bought it for him to make cotton trousers. Then it would be enough to add a little more to the size. After finishing these, she took out the clothes that had been cut for Meixiang the day before yesterday. , After making a sleeve, he stopped. Outside the window, Zhao Donghe, who had been chopping firewood for a long time, had already returned to the house.
"I'm going to town tomorrow, will you come with me?"
"What time?"
"Meeting at nine o'clock, departure at eight o'clock."
Dong Jiahui thought about it, there was still time to go to the warehouse at 7:40, and she could follow him after registering.
"Then when will you come back?"
"It's usually around eleven o'clock. Anyway, I'll be back in time for lunch."
Dong Jiahui nodded.
"Do I have to tell the captain when I go to the town tomorrow, in case someone asks me for something?"
"Well, tell me, just leave the key to him."
Zhao Donglin was talking, but his hands didn't stop moving. He had already jumped into Jiahui's clothes. Jiahui looked at him with sparkling eyes. At this time, she was the most attractive, like six Sweet and juicy like a ripe mountain peach in the moon.
The next day, Dong Jiahui endured the soreness and got up to make breakfast, corn pancakes, which can be eaten with sauce or with pickles.
"Mom, I want to go to the town with Donglin this morning and come back to buy some cloth and cotton. It will be cold soon, so I can make some cotton coats for the two children."
"Success, you go, I remembered it a few days ago, but I forgot it in the past two days, thanks to you following Zhang Luo."
"How much do you want to buy? I'll go back to the house and get you a ticket."
"No need, Mom, I saved a few cloth tickets before, which should be enough."
Zhang Qiaoer laughed when she heard this. She likes Jiahui because Jiahui handles things generously, not the kind who is dedicated to herself. Besides, buying tickets not only requires tickets, but also costs money.
"Don't be polite to me. Now this family is in front of me, and I should pay for the food at home. You and Donglin just got married. Before that, Donglin's salary was handed over to me. Recently, I was in Thinking about how to distribute the money, before Donglin was in the army, food and clothing were paid by the army, but now it’s different, he works in the village, and he can’t do without money.”
The other one, Donglin is married and has two children. As a mother, she takes care of her son's salary. What should the young couple do if they have to spend money? She knew that Jiahui had a lot of money as a gift, and although it wasn't a case of being out of money and unworthy, for the sake of family harmony, she should give them some consideration.
"I'll tell you this. From now on, Donglin will pay you a monthly salary. I'll give you ten yuan, and it's yours. I'll keep the rest. I'll pay for everything you need at home. So, don't be polite to me. It stands to reason that Dong Lin suffered a disadvantage as a brother, but Dong He is only a brother in this life. This kind of love is more important than money. I just asked Dong Lin, and he is the same explain."
Naturally, Zhao Donglin didn't have any opinions. He has been here for so many years. Zhang Qiaoer said so much just for Dong Jiahui's hearing, for fear that she might have opinions on Donglin's salary distribution.
Dong Jiahui is not that stupid, she naturally understood what her mother-in-law meant, and said with a smile, "Mom, I understand, we are a family, and we shouldn't care about personal gains and losses."
Zhang Qiaoer patted her hand, feeling a little excited, "It's good that you understand, a single tree cannot make a forest, and a family must work together to live a good life. Don't worry, mom has a good opinion in her heart, and she will not miss anyone. "
Dong Jiahui nodded. Judging from her current situation, Zhang Qiaoer has done a good job and is not the kind of mother-in-law who makes things difficult.
The Zhao family is generally good, except that Zheng Yuefen is a little out of tune.
"This pancake is delicious, and it tastes even better with two cloves of garlic."
"Then don't open your mouth to speak, you will kill someone."
"I'll eat this when I pick river workers in winter."
When the winter wheat comes to the ground, there will be a period of slack in the countryside. Most of the communes will organize everyone to do river work, build roads, etc. The work points for this kind of work are twice the usual, so young and strong people want to go .
After dinner, Jiahui took the key and went to the warehouse to open the door. After the team members came to collect the farm tools, she went to the team leader's house and told her that she was going to town in the morning, and the team leader agreed without saying anything.
"Heidan, do you want to go to town together?"
Jiahui intends to develop a relationship with Heidan. Children like to play, don't they? It's okay for Zhao Donglin to take Heidan around the town for a meeting.
A four-year-old child just loves to play, and when Jiahui mentioned it, Heidan wanted to go, but he was shy and couldn't say it.
"Then let's go together."
Jiahui naturally held Heidan's little hand, her hand was warm and soft, and Heidan froze after holding it, reminding him of his mother in his memory, who once held his hand and held him like this sang.
Wang Mei left Heidan when Heidan was over three years old. It has been more than half a year now, and the child's memory is not that deep. Heidan just knows that he has a mother and knows that she has left, but he is so vague about Wang Mei's appearance. Unclear, warm in his hands, he looked up and met Dong Jiahui's smiling eyes, very similar to the mother in his memory.
Zhao Donglin rode the bicycle, Jiahui sat on the back of the bicycle, and Heidan sat on the handle of the bicycle, and they wobbled towards the town.
"I'm going to the commune, you just wait here for me after you've bought something."
"good."
Dong Jiahui touched Heidan's hair and said to him, "Heidan, say goodbye to Dad."
Heidan looked at Zhao Donglin but didn't speak. Dong Jiahui found that Heidan was too introverted. Looking at his eyes, he obviously understood everything, but he just didn't speak. She asked Meixiang and said that Heidan was not like this before. After Wang Mei left, she stopped talking.
She didn't know what Wang Mei posted after she left, but it should be true that it hit Heidan hard.
"Then you go first, don't be late for the meeting."
Zhao Donglin also stroked Heidan's hair and rode off on his bicycle. Jiahui stood there with Heidan for a while before turning around, and took Heidan's hand into the supply and marketing cooperative.
Before going out, Zhang Qiaoer took three tickets and 20 yuan to Jiahui. Since she had business to do, Jiahui went directly to the cloth counter.
The fabrics of this era are mainly simple, black, blue, yellow and green are common, blue is divided into light blue, dark blue and navy blue, yellow is divided into turmeric, light yellow and khaki, green is the most popular army green, and other colors are not absent, but The choice is small.
Cotton woven fabrics were popular in rural areas before, and Dacron has become popular in recent years.
In the era of planned supply, people had to rely on cloth tickets to buy fabrics, and the cloth ticket supplied by one person for a year was only 3 feet.
Three feet of cloth a year is not enough to make a set of clothes. The solution at that time was that rich people bought cloth tickets on the black market, while poor people bought back spinning cloth, which was to smash the rags and re-spin them again. Cloth spun into yarn. The emergence of Zhenliang solves this problem. Because it is durable, the family's cloth tickets can be combined to make a set of clothes for family members who are in urgent need of clothes. It is enough for one person to wear for several years. It meets people's basic food and clothing needs.
Indeed, it has poor air permeability and is a chemical fiber product, but in this era, it is a very trendy fabric. It is durable and easy to dry, and it is not easy to fade without ironing. The color looks brighter than cotton fabric.
Dong Jiahui chose good quality fabrics for the two elderly people. The children are naturally made of comfortable pure cotton fabrics. Zhao Donglin wears military uniforms all year round. In addition, Zhao Donghe and Zheng Yuefen, Dong Jiahui thinks that there is no need to prepare for them.
"Hey, isn't this Jiahui?"
Dong Jiahui was seriously unable to choose, when she heard someone calling her name behind her, she looked back, and it turned out to be the heart peach she knew in Dayu Village.
"You went to the street to buy cloth?"
Hongtao walked over with a smile, looked at Dong Jiahui, then at Heitan who was following Dong Jiahui, touched Heidan's head and said, "This is your son?"
Hongtao knew that Dong Jiahui became a stepmother after she got married. She has a straightforward personality and speaks directly, and she doesn't shy away from this.
"Yes, my son."
Dong Jiahui generously admitted, and even lowered her head and smiled at Heidan.
"What a coincidence. I was worried that I would have nowhere to find you. I didn't expect to meet you on the street."
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"I want to ask you to make clothes. I found two other tailors. I don't think what they make is as good as yours."
Jiahui pays great attention to details when making clothes. For example, the waist will be pinched an inch, and the figure will look more curvy. For trousers, she will not make the trousers too wide, or even slightly The styles of carrot pants and bell-bottom pants are not too much, but the visual effect is definitely different, so many people who wear Jiahui's clothes are exactly the same. It can't be said that it is good, but it is different from others.
"Okay, then tell me your request."
"I'm satisfied with what you did. I've bought the cloth and I'm at home. I'll bring it to you sometime."
"Well, yes, do you know my husband's family?"
"Just ask and you'll know. I'll find you tomorrow morning."
"OK."
Jiahui was in a happy mood when she took over a business right away. After getting married, she changed her life background, and her way of making money was affected.
This morning my mother-in-law said that Zhao Donglin will continue to pay her salary in the future, and she will give herself ten yuan a month. Dong Jiahui really doesn't care. It may be a relationship from modern times. The concept of self-reliance and self-improvement of women has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There is no way to be like women in this era. She also relies on her husband wholeheartedly.
Relying on the mountain will fall, relying on everyone will run, relying on oneself is the most real.
"Heidan, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
In the supply and marketing cooperatives, not everything needs a ticket, and some can be bought with money. Dong Jiahui weighed candy and biscuits, and asked Hearts to bring a copy to her natal nephew and niece.
"Hey, your aunt's cooking is really good. If you have something delicious, you don't forget to share it with them."
"Isn't this what it should be, then please send it there for me."
"It's on the way, don't worry."
After buying the cloth, Dong Jiahui went to weigh the cotton again. There were no plastic bags in this era, so she packed them in sacks in the end.
"Okay, let's sit here and wait for Dad to pick us up."
Dong Jiahui borrowed a bench from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the two sat inside and waited for Zhao Donglin.
It is said that the service attitude of the salesmen in the supply and marketing cooperative is bad. The reason why Dong Jiahui has face is because her natal sister-in-law has a brother who works as the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
She didn't know each other before, but Zhou Yindi got acquainted with the things that Zhou Yindi brought her to prepare for the wedding before the wedding.
