At first, everyone was worried about whether it would be possible to make a cover. Everyone sews the quilt cover on top of the quilt. If we make a cover, won't the quilt have to roll around in it?
Su Ruyi really thought about it.
But Su Ruyi insisted that she wanted it that way, so of course the two sisters-in-law did it according to her request without saying a word.
Everyone crowded into Su Ruyi's room, used ropes to measure the length and width of the bed, and measured the size and width of the quilt. They also traced the cloth, took the scissors and cut out the pieces of cloth with a click, and sewed the sheets. Those who sew quilts sew quilts, and those who sew covers sew covers.
The children liked to join in the fun and followed into Aunt Three's room, looking around curiously.
Mrs. Zhang scolded: "You bastards are getting more and more outrageous now, go play somewhere else!"
There was a family's money hidden in their third aunt's house, how could a group of children just run in at will!
As soon as the children heard this, they got out of the house again and ran to play somewhere.
In fact, not only the children were curious about Su Ruyi's house, but the three women were also curious. With so much money earned at home these days, they didn't know where Su Ruyi was hiding.
But don't put it in the box next to the wall. If someone comes in, the first person will definitely dig through the box, and it will be all over.
But Su Ruyi shouldn't be so brainless and wouldn't put it in such a conspicuous place.
But besides that box, where else can I put it?
There was no other hiding place in the room.
They were curious in their hearts, their eyes couldn't help peeking secretly, but they didn't dare to ask. You shouldn't ask either.
Su Ruyi was the only one with nothing to do, and she really didn't want to review her homework at this time. She hadn't studied so hard for so long, and she was suddenly overloaded and a little nauseous.
It happened that the rain had subsided now, so she walked into the yard to see what was going on with her roof. She had to find a way to solve it. It was not okay to keep leaking like this.
I was aware of rain leaks before, but maybe because I didn’t have any money on hand, I never took a good look at my roof.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that not all the roofs were covered with tiles. Only the main house was covered with tiles, while the other houses were covered with tiles here and there.
No wonder it rains.
Su Ruyi walked into the room and patted her hair.
"Mom, why did the tiles on our roof fall off in pieces?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "Then it has fallen off. It is not completely paved! Tiles are expensive. In the past, when the family had some spare money, they would buy some back every year. If there was a leak in the house, it would be in the place where it leaked. If you put it on the bed, it will be of some use. That’s all the paving in the main house will do.”
Su Ruyi: "..."
You can also do this.
“Mom, I think we’ll cover the roof this year.”
Mrs. Zhang sat on the edge of the bed and carefully sewed the quilt on the cotton wool. She looked up at Su Ruyi who was standing at the door. She was in a daze. It was such a good life. She was living a life so lazy that even her old bones were so lazy. It was so comfortable.
"You have the final say, you decide, and we'll put the roof on it."
Paving an entire roof also requires one or two taels of silver, which is an expense for the boss.
She also didn't want to go against Su Ruyi. Although she felt nervous when it came to spending money, she was happy despite being nervous. Her family now had money and she felt at ease.
Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
Just cover it with tiles, but in my house, the rainwater leaks directly onto the kang!
There is a tile-burning kiln near the town. If you buy a small amount, you can bring it back yourself. If you buy a lot, they will give it away. It is convenient.
"One more thing. I plan to wait for the rain to stop, probably tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and take my brother and Dan'er to Tongzhou to see if the doctors in Tongzhou can do anything -"
Liu Cuier, who was sewing a quilt cover, stood up immediately, her voice shrill with excitement: "Ruyi, I'll go with you!"
Mrs. Zhang was also overjoyed. She had been burying the idea of taking her eldest son and grandson to see a doctor in a big place for a year or two, but she never dared to think about it because her family did not have the ability.
At this time, her nose was sore, and her eyes were also sore. She said in a stern voice: "Ruyi, please bring your sister-in-law with you. If the doctor on this trip says that Tada's leg can still be saved, she will feel at ease."
Liu Cuier's eyes turned red and she looked at Su Ruyi eagerly.
Su Ruyi smiled and said: "You must bring it with you. I have to take Dan'er with me. Big brother will definitely not be able to take care of it. Well, I'll go and beg Uncle Hu to let him go with us."
"why?"
Zhang is strange.
"Uncle Hu is knowledgeable. He can understand what the doctor is saying and can discuss countermeasures. Two people are better than one."
This is called consultation, brainstorming.
"Ruyi, I'm going to talk to Tada right now. I'll come back later to sew it for you!"
Liu Cuier dropped her needle and thread and ran away with a cheerful face, running like a child.
Mrs. Zhang looked worriedly at the cheerful back of her eldest daughter-in-law: "Ruyi, do you think those doctors from big places can do it?"
If it doesn't work, the boss and his wife will feel...
It would be better not to mention this issue and give people hope in vain.
Su Ruyi knew what her mother-in-law was worried about and said, "Just ask and you will know if there is a chance."
…
Su Ruyi's bed had a brand new look.
The quilt cover is indeed a little different from the quilt, especially when there is a layer of quilt inside. If you pull a corner, the quilt inside will slip away.
Liu Cuier carefully sewed the quilt cover around for her, so that it would be fine and she would not be afraid of the quilt rolling around inside.
Zhang pursed her lips: "I just said that there is no use in making this cover. In the end, it has to be sewn. Okay, I will use the removed quilt and sheets to make shoes."
"Ruyi, it smells so good——"
Li Baozhu couldn't put it down, holding the quilt and putting it under her nose to smell it.
Seeing her intoxicated expression, Su Ruyi was a little curious about what the smell was, so she stepped forward and smelled it. It was the smell of new fabric. It couldn't be said to be unpleasant, but it wasn't pleasant either. But it smelled like happiness, just like the feeling when my parents bought me new clothes when I was a child.
"It smells quite good." Su Ruyi said with a smile, "I forgot to wash it before sewing today. Remember to wash it before sewing on the quilt."
The three women looked at her in confusion.
Su Ruyi: "..."
Did you say something wrong?
Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "You woman, you have to wash new fabrics. There is nothing dirty. Why do you wash it? The more you wash it, the less it will last."
Liu Cuier also said: "Ruyi, this fragrance will disappear as soon as you wash it!"
The most rare thing about wearing new clothes and covering up with a new quilt is this smell. It reminds you that you are using new things and makes you feel better when you smell it. If one day the taste disappears, I will still feel disappointed, which means that new things are no longer so new.
Su Ruyi realized that this was the love of poor people for new things.
Unlike my own time, the first thing I did after buying clothes was to wash them, especially the close-fitting clothes and quilts. They must be washed before use, otherwise they will be really dirty.
But now, everyone is poor and has different concepts of dirty.
