Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 221 Eating melons in Chronicle (33)

Second Sister-in-law Gu was standing at the entrance of the alley. When she saw Gu Qingcheng getting off the small jeep, she hurriedly said something to the neighbor's aunt and came over with a smile.

When she knitted a sweater, she used a bag, put the cotton thread into a ball, and hung the bag on her wrist.

Pulled out a piece of thread from the cloth bag, and weaved it deftly with a stick needle.

This has the advantage that it does not delay her knitting sweater or her chatting in the streets.

"Xiao Ni, that's the aunt of Niu's family in Dongsi Hutong. Her daughter also works in the machinery factory."

Second Aunt Gu had a cloth bag hanging on her wrist, and she still had to support Gu Qingcheng with both hands.

He introduced in a low voice, "I heard that he has a son, but his body is weak and he cannot do heavy work. He can only write and draw at home."

Gu Qingcheng: ... This second sister-in-law is not only dexterous with her hands, but also with her mouth.

In just a few days, even the "neighbors" who are three blocks away have gotten online?

She responded humbly, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the semi-finished product rolled up in the second sister-in-law Gu's bag, and raised her eyebrows.

Noticing Gu Qingcheng's small movements, Second Aunt Gu smiled and said, "This is what Aunt Feng taught me in Xi'er Hutong. Those cotton gloves you gave out are never used up."

"It can't be wasted if we leave it alone, but wouldn't it be better to take off the gloves and knit a sweater or waistcoat with cotton thread?"

"This cotton thread, although not as warm as wool, is soft and breathable, perfect for Qiaoer to wear!"

Gu Qingcheng smiled and nodded, "When I went to the moving class, Master Chen there also mentioned it."

"It's still the second sister-in-law's dexterity, and she has a good mind. It only took a few days to learn it."

"By the way, I still have cotton gloves. After the second sister-in-law finishes knitting for Qiaoer, let's knit another one for Huzi."

Second Sister-in-law Gu was somewhat sincere towards Gu Qingcheng's mother and daughter, and Gu Qingcheng was willing to take extra care of them.

Hu Zi is the son of Gu Er and his wife. He is seven years old this year.

The little guy is tiger-headed and full of energy, just at the age when people hate dogs.

That clothes, I wore "new" ones in the morning, but in the afternoon there were holes in my buttocks and knees.

Fortunately, Huzi's clothes are all remade from his parents' old clothes.

Otherwise, Sister-in-law Gu would have been heartbroken for her shrewd housekeeping temperament.Hu Zi, a naughty kid, was also beaten three times a day.

But after all, Gu Ersao, the biological mother, still loves Huzi very much.

As a mother, I naturally hope that my children can dress well and eat well.

A "sweater", although it is made of cotton, is a very rare good thing in the countryside.

Oh, if my son can wear it, how beautiful and elegant would it be?

After leaving home and coming to take care of her sister-in-law, the most worrying thing for Mrs. Gu was her own child.

Of course, she knew that there was a husband, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and younger siblings in the family.

Hu Zi will not be treated harshly.

However, as a mother, she will worry as long as her children are not around.

Nothing else, just motherhood.

"Oh, he's so naughty, even wearing good clothes is a waste!"

The second sister-in-law Gu was already moved, but she still pretended to decline.

Gu Qingcheng smiled more and more sincerely, "Why did you ruin it? Second sister-in-law, you have to think this way, if you don't have clothes, the tiger's skin may be worn out directly."

In addition to keeping warm, clothes also have a certain protective effect.

For people like Gu Qingcheng who have not experienced hard times and are not used to thrift, as long as things are "useful", it is not a waste.

Second Sister-in-law Gu: ...Hey, can you still say that?

However, the second sister-in-law Gu suffered from childhood, and she lived to be 30 years old without wearing a few new clothes.

For the truly poor people, fraying clothes is much better than fraying skin.

Compared with scarce materials such as cloth and food, people are not that valuable.

"... Xiaoni becomes a different person after she enters the city and gains skills. She is so noble and particular."

Although the second sister-in-law Gu did not agree with Gu Qingcheng's statement, she still felt the kindness of her sister-in-law.

She is a very strong person, and with her clever mouth and skillful hands, she lives well in both her mother's family and her husband's family.

She prefers to take advantage.

If one is not done well, it is probably the same existence as the best.

However, in Gu Qingcheng's case, Mrs. Gu couldn't think of anything like this -

Even before she had any secret plans, her sister-in-law took the initiative to give her the things.

What else is she doing?

Acura also needs face.

Under the premise of ensuring her interests, how could Second Sister-in-law Gu be willing to make trouble?
As for lack of greed?

Oh, she's not stupid, she can tell the difference between a good meal and a good meal.

No, the second sister-in-law Gu was thinking about how to make fast fabrics for herself, so the sister-in-law pointed to a beautiful floral cloth and said, "This time I went to the printing and dyeing factory, and there are some badly printed floral cloths. me!"

"Sister-in-law, I have work clothes issued by my work unit, but I don't usually need them. You can take this cloth and make yourself some clothes."

Second Aunt Gu: ...

She was pleasantly surprised, okay?

I hastily opened the stack of cloth, unfolded it, and looked carefully. The so-called "bad printing" is just a little bit of wrong printing. If you don't look carefully, it is not obvious at all.

Besides, so what if it's obvious?

this is new!No patches!

Second Sister-in-law Gu wore a brand new dress when she got married.

It's been several years, and she hasn't been able to make a new dress.

Now, just a few days after I went to the city to help my sister-in-law, just...

"Oh, Xiaoni, you can't say that. You usually wear work clothes at work, don't you want to wear something nice after get off work?"

"This calico, I still, I still make you a new gown."

Gu Er's sister-in-law said something about giving in, and kept stretching her hand towards Gu Qingcheng with the flower cloth in her hand.

But judging from her expression, she really couldn't bear it.

When Gu Qingcheng saw this, he was secretly amused, but he didn't show it.

She raised her delicate fair face and said, "It is said that 'a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle'. But, second sister-in-law, look at me, do I still need clothes to set it off?"

Second Sister-in-law Gu: ...It’s really not necessary!
As for my sister-in-law's skin, it looks good in a sack.

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng had said all the things, Gu Ersao didn't give in hypocritically.

However, she still said happily, "I think the size of this floral cloth is not small, and it can be cut into two pieces of clothing, one large and one small."

The big one naturally belonged to her second sister-in-law Gu.

The smaller one is for Qiao Qiao.

Second Sister-in-law Gu is so shrewd and knows who Gu Qingcheng cares about most.

"clever!"

Gu Qingcheng secretly admired.

Again, people can be bad, but not stupid.

Gu Qingcheng likes to deal with smart people.

Gu Qingcheng is really generous, and Gu's second sister-in-law is also really shrewd.

Therefore, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law got along very harmoniously.

Second Sister-in-law Gu took on the role of "housekeeper" very competently, ahem, not a nanny.

Because there is no shortage of people to work in Gu Qingcheng's family.

What Second Sister Gu had to do was to watch those apprentices and then do some more delicate work.

Such as making clothes, such as chatting with the aunties around me.

Every day when Gu Qingcheng goes home, she can get the latest gossip in the alley from Mrs. Gu's mouth.

Gu Qingcheng's small courtyard also has more and more "home" atmosphere.

……

"Yeah! Bicycle?"

"Hua Zi, you can do it, you're already riding a bicycle? Come on, where did you get it?"

"Isn't it your master who picked it up? When riding, you have to take care of it and don't damage it!"

That evening, some aunts and aunts in the courtyard were sitting at the door, chatting and looking around.

Don't underestimate these middle-aged and elderly women. They are the so-called "Small Foot Detective Team".

If there is a disturbance around, they will be the first to find out.

Of course, their original intention may be pure gossip, but the reason and process are not important, the result is the most important.

Sometimes, aunts can always play a magical role!

An aunt raised her eyes and saw someone riding a bicycle at the entrance of the alley. She squinted her eyes and took a closer look, and found that it was Lu Xinhua in the backyard.

The other aunts also found out, stood up one after another, and surrounded Lu Xinhua and the bicycle.

The [-]-inch large bars and the frame are very strong.

The body is painted with shiny black paint, which looks very impressive.

"Oh, this seems to be new!"

"Hua Zi, did you buy it?"

The aunts touched the bicycles carefully, with obvious envy and jealousy in their eyes.

"Yeah! I just bought it!"

Lu Xinhua has been working in the car class for more than two months.

He finally coaxed his master into taking him out for a long run.

Just back yesterday, Lu Xinhua made a lot of money by relying on the tricks used by drivers.

Lu Xinhua is bolder and more flexible than his predecessors.

His extra money earns the most.

I went to the black market and bought a bicycle ticket, but I still had money left to buy a bicycle.

Did not say, a word - buy!

Just after get off work today, Lu Xinhua went to the department store with money and tickets, and then pushed a Phoenix brand bicycle.

If it is left to later generations, Lu Xinhua will not look down on this stupid and ugly iron guy at all.

However, in this era, bicycles are comparable to Maybachs.

Oh no, that's not right, it's more attractive than a luxury car.

Because in later generations, not everyone knows luxury car brands, but in the 60s, everyone knew the value of bicycles.

"Huh? Huazi should be the first young generation in our compound to buy a bicycle."

It seems that it is easy for people to compare, and they always like to comment on "No. [-]".

There are more than ten families in the compound, and there are three or four young people in Lu Xinhua's generation.

Neighbors inevitably compete with each other among their peers.

In the past, Lu Xinhua was not outstanding.

His personal conditions are good, but his family is too burdensome.

On the contrary, Qiao Jianguo, who is the same age as him, is more respected than him.

There are also one or two children who are two or three years younger than them. After graduating from middle school, they began to look for jobs and were qualified to compare with "big brothers" like Lu Xinhua.

"Mr. Ma is really Hua Zi's noble person. Ever since I was slapped by her, this Hua Zi is becoming more and more promising every day!"

"Isn't that right? Now I even bought a bicycle!"

Neighbors watched Lu Xinhua speed away on his shiny bicycle and sighed again.

PS: It's Monday again, dear friends, please support us a lot!
