Lin Nianhe looked at the torn clothes and was a little confused.
"Tsk, melon girl, you need wages to do some work." Wen Lan smacked her lips in disgust.
She climbed off the kang, took Lin Nianhe's clothes, took a look, waved her hand, and said very gently: "It's okay, it's not big, just sew it up."
Three years of new life and three years of old life, three more years of sewing and mending.
Can……
Lin Nianhe: "How to sew?"
She can't!
She had never worn patched clothes before, let alone mended them herself.
Wen Lan said "huh" in an upbeat tone, curled her lips and said, "I can sew it for you..."
She deliberately didn't finish her words and raised her eyebrows at Lin Nianhe.
"Oh, Sister Lan, you are the best and the most powerful!" Lin Nianhe took her arm very wisely, "Speaking of which, I also want to eat mushrooms. I will accompany you up the mountain tomorrow!"
Wang Shumei couldn't help but taunt: "A piece of clothing made you give in?"
Of course, Lin Nianhe couldn't give in to a piece of clothing, but she couldn't just say she didn't want it, right?
It’s so inconsistent with the spirit of hardship and simplicity.
It's hard to tell such a truth. Lin Nianhe raised his chin slightly and said, "Why am I doing it for the clothes? I am doing it for our friendship!"
After saying that, she ran out under Wang Shumei's shocked eyes.
After a while, she changed her clothes and came back with five feet of cloth tickets and a torn shirt.
Aunt Li took the ticket and said a lot of thanks.
Over there, Wen Lan had already found the needle and thread and looked like he was going to do something big.
Wen Lan worked extremely quickly, threading needles and threads so fast that Lin Nianhe felt that his clothes would definitely be ruined.
Scrap...just scrap it, she didn't have any hope anyway, she was just cooperating with the performance.
She stopped looking there and turned to ask Aunt Li: "By the way Aunt Li, I went to town a while ago and met Uncle Niu from Jiuli Brigade. I heard from him that there are educated youths coming again. Do you know the truth or not? "
When Wang Shumei and Wen Lan heard this, they put down what they were doing and looked at Aunt Li.
When Aunt Li heard about this, she immediately became even more worried: "It's not good. It was said a few days ago that there will be another batch before the autumn harvest. I don't know what the commune is thinking. What can it do in time for the autumn harvest?" Work? How many work points can I earn?"
Here in the Northeast, there is one species a year, and after the autumn harvest there is basically no work. Without work points, naturally not much food will be distributed. In the end, we will not have to borrow it from the brigade.
Lin Nianhe nodded and asked again: "You have also seen that it is not easy to get more people into this educated youth area, especially the female educated youth... I saw Uncle Niu going to pull tiles that day, saying that he wanted to give it to the educated youth. Build a house."
There was a lot of temptation in Lin Nianhe's words. She didn't really care whether she worked or not, or whether she got food or not. There was always a solution.
The most difficult thing to solve right now is the issue of shelter.
Aunt Li sighed and shook her head: "Your uncle, the captain, is also worried about this. This year, the team has no money left. Although there are people who get money to build the school, aren't all the people doing the work? That heavy physical work Can’t you eat something good?”
"If that doesn't work, we have to let them go to a fellow villager's house to start a relationship first." Aunt Li looked at Lin Nianhe, "By the way, does your little shabby house leak? If it needs to be repaired, just say something and don't miss another one." A place where people can live.”
Lin Nianhe felt relieved when Aunt Li called her house a "little broken house".
"Okay, I've written it down. I'll check it again later. It should be fine."
"Okay, then I will also..."
"Okay, it's done."
Wen Lan interrupted Aunt Li's words and threw the shirt into Lin Nianhe's arms.
"Huh? So fast?" Lin Nianhe was a little surprised and quickly turned over his sleeves to check.
She thought she would see a centipede, but she and Aunt Li stared for a long time before finding the opening.
Wen Lan sewed it according to the warp and weft of the fabric. It was so smooth that it was almost impossible to tell that it had been torn.
"Oh, Miss Wen's craftsmanship is really good," Aunt Li praised sincerely, "It looks like it has never been broken before!"
Lin Nianhe was shocked and stretched out his thumb towards Wen Lan: "Sister Lan, you are really capable of literary and military skills, and you hide your secrets."
Wen Lan was a little embarrassed by the praise, so she touched her nose and said, "It's nothing, it's something you can do with your hands."
Lin Nianhe looked at his hands.
Praise her too much.
After sending Aunt Li away, Wang Shumei no longer had the intention to read.
She frowned and looked at Lin Nianhe: "Why do I think Aunt Li's statement about letting new educated youth go to a fellow villager's house to have sex is unreliable?"
"Yes." Lin Nianhe nodded, "I won't mention the male educated youth, but what about the female educated youth? Let's not talk about whether there are conflicts in living habits, let's just talk about the people we partner with..."
"You have to have an empty room, right? You can't have gay men aged 17 or 18 at home, right? Looking at the whole brigade, Aunt Wang's house is the most suitable, but we have all been to her house, so there is no room. Also, don't forget, Your room was originally meant for three people."
Lin Nianhe analyzed it with his fingers.
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Shumei meaningfully.
They are all people with secrets, and living with strangers brings too many dangers and troubles.
Wen Lan put the needle and thread back in place, then turned around and asked, "What do you mean? What do you two worry about?"
Her words were automatically ignored by Wang Shumei and Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe looked at Wang Shumei and said meaningfully: "I heard what Aunt Li meant. If you want to build a house, you'd better say it now."
Wang Shumei went to Aunt Li to ask about building a house. Aunt Li just mentioned Lin Nianhe's cabin. Firstly, she reassured Lin Nianhe that no more people would be sent to her place. Secondly, she wanted to remind Wang Shumei that if you want to build a house, , it’s best to cover it now.
Wang Shumei nodded: "That's what I heard."
Listening to the analysis, Sister Lan was confused: "What? How did you two hear it?"
If she remembered correctly, Aunt Li asked Hezi to check if the house was leaking, right? How did they hear the rest?
Wen Lan sat cross-legged on the kang, thinking to herself that maybe she was too focused on sewing just now, and she missed it.
Well, it must be!
Wang Shumei turned her pencil around in annoyance, which was dizzying.
She thought about it for a while, then slapped the pencil on the kang table: "Yes, you have to cover it sooner or later, so do it sooner rather than later!"
As she spoke, she raised her chin towards Wen Lan: "I'll build a house and we can live together, how about that?"
Wen Lan understood this.
She shook her head repeatedly: "I won't build it, I have no money."
She could still afford a meal of dumplings and a house... Wen Lan was scared.
"I know you have no money, so my sister won't be able to come in the next two years. I'm afraid of living by myself." Wang Shumei dragged Wen Lan and said, "And I plan to build two houses. If no one lives in them, I will put a new educated youth in them." Now that you are here, you can show me the house."
"But I..."
"But what? It's a show of hands. Those who agree that Comrade Wen Lan will live with me will raise their hands!"
The three people voted. Before Wen Lan could react, Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei both raised their hands.
Sister Lan was clearly arranged.
Lin Nianhe pursed his lips and smiled lowly, and said to Wang Shumei: "If you are building a house, it is better not to be too far away from the educated youth point. I suggest you push the backyard wall back. The educated youth point is still a courtyard, so there will be less trouble."
Whether there are two girls or three girls, there are troubles and dangers in starting an independent family.
Aunt Wang is a legend and cannot be compared.
