But her little Douding was sitting on the threshold with an unhappy expression.
"Doudou!"
"Are you fat?"
Little Douding jumped up happily when he saw her.
"What happened just now? Who bullied you?"
"No, but they are always squatting in front of our house, and the scent has been taken away by them."
"...Hahaha!" Xu Yin couldn't help laughing and scratched the bridge of her nephew's nose, "It's just a sniff, don't be so stingy. Come in quickly, I will bring you something delicious."
Grandma Geng gave Xu Yin a pack of maltose balls, and the villagers asked her to thank the matchmaker for the gift.
Xu Yin is no longer the Xu Yin she used to be. She knows how to share delicious food. She ate one for herself, left two more for her parents, and gave the rest to her nephew.
After licking the sweet maltose ball, Little Douding grinned happily.
"Mom, I'm back." Xu Yin came to the kitchen and stuffed a piece of maltose into Xu's mother's mouth. "Grandma gave it to me. She said it was from a matchmaker."
"You can just eat it by yourself. What are you doing for me?"
Xu's mother gave her an angry look, then smiled again.
The sugar balls made of maltose are really sweet.
My daughter is becoming more and more sensible and filial.
"How are your uncle's family? Is your grandma not suffering from rheumatism?"
"When I went there, my uncle had not returned from going up the mountain. My grandmother and aunt were both in good spirits. It was just that Junbao fell into the stream while playing..."
Xu Yin rambled about the situation at her grandmother's house.
Xu's mother nodded: "You are right to do that. Life in your uncle's family is tight, and your aunt always spends one penny as two cents. Although she doesn't feel bad about spending it on military treasures, she still saves money. If you don't go on this trip, Send her, she definitely won't go to the hospital, and children can't talk about it. It would be bad if the root of the disease is left."
The plot of Xu Yinxin Daoyuan is not like this.
It should be fine now, right?
Her small wish is to stay far away from the heroine, and her close family members will not be cannon fodder. She has no other big ambitions.
As the mother-in-law and mother-in-law were talking, footsteps came from outside the house.
"Is Jinhua here?"
"Here!" Xu's mother responded loudly.
It turned out to be the sixth aunt next door.
Unable to resist the little grandson's insistence, he brought a palm-wide grass carp over and expressed with embarrassment:
I want to exchange two pieces of braised pork with the Xu family.
Aunt Six is a nice person, and the two families often help each other and interact with each other.
Xu's mother changed it for her.
The grass carp was not kept until the evening. It was cut open on the spot and mixed with the bacteria brought by Xu Yin to stew a pot of milky white fish soup.
When it's time for dinner, the family sits down to eat.
"Hey! What a good day it is today? There is fish and meat!"
Father Xu was so happy that the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes wrinkled into chrysanthemums.
"Some of them won't stop your mouth!"
Xu's mother often scolded him. Then everyone was given a spoonful of fish soup in their bowl, but Xu Yin's bowl had the most fish belly meat.
But Sister-in-law Xu was still very happy, because her mother-in-law also scooped up the fish soup and divided the fish meat for her. After that, she was also given a small piece of braised pork with chopsticks.
But for some reason, I always feel a little uncomfortable when I drink fish soup.
I couldn't hold it back for a while, so I retched twice, and my face was pale when I raised my head.
Xu Yin was startled and almost tripped over the stool. She asked worriedly:
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Could it be that there were too many orders and my sister-in-law was exhausted?
Xu's mother is someone who has been here before. When she saw this posture, she had an idea:
"Isn't it already there?"
So, after eating a few hasty meals, I took my daughter-in-law to the barefoot doctor at the end of the village to get a pulse.
I'm sure I'm pregnant, probably two months along.
The eldest son came back during the Qingming Festival, so it must have been around that time.
Xu's mother didn't show it on her face, but she was very happy in her heart.
The old Xu family has an heir again. Who would think that there are too many children and grandchildren?
After Xu Yin heard about it, her heart dropped.
The original plot was that Sister-in-law Xu almost had a miscarriage without knowing she was pregnant. After that, she suffered from all kinds of hardships, not only premature birth but also dystocia.
This time I was diagnosed with pregnancy in advance, and I looked good. I would pay more attention, hoping that the plot in the novel would not happen again.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that the first three months is a dangerous period. If you don't want to wear clothes, please wait until three months have passed before doing it. I will explain it to my classmates and they will understand."
Xu Yin brought a bowl of brown sugar water to her sister-in-law's room and persuaded her in a slow voice, for fear that she would be tired.
Sister-in-law Xu waved her hands repeatedly:
"It's not a problem. I'm just sitting and working on the sewing machine. I'm not tired at all. Really! I'm not tired at all! You're talking about people from the city. There are no such rules in the countryside. There are people who work in the fields with their stomachs full. , I’m just sitting and making clothes, it’s already very relaxing. Really! Don’t tell your classmates, they will think you are boring and won’t want to work with you in the future.”
She is extremely satisfied with this job. She is not worried about being busy, but she is worried about not being able to accept it.
Xu Yin heard what she said and thought about it.
What if she didn't take over the work for her sister-in-law, but her mother arranged a lot of heavy and rough work for her, wouldn't she be following the plot again?
"Okay, sister-in-law, just watch and do it slowly. Anyway, the old tailors in the city are always very slow in making clothes. The delivery time of summer clothes is half a month. We are already much faster than him. The salary is two yuan less than him, so the classmates will only be happy and will never say anything."
Sister-in-law Xu nodded and said nothing more.
Anyway, no matter how Xu Yin tried to persuade her, she still worked at the original speed.
…
Recently, tailors in the city have started making overalls and waist-pinching shirts. Tong Guihua pointed to a girl from the No. 3 middle school next door to Xu Yin:
"Well, it's just the tailor shop owned by her grandfather that makes the same styles as we have. It's so shameless!"
Xu Yin took a look at what the girl was wearing, and it was indeed very similar to the overalls and floral waist shirt she was wearing.
It's like a genuine product meets a high imitation, you really can't tell the difference unless you look carefully.
But look carefully...
"The pockets of her pants are not big enough and they don't have buttons? There are no drawstrings at the bottom of the pants? Are there belt loops on the waistband?"
"Haha! Did you see it all? You have such sharp eyes! It's true, it's not. Most of it is to save money. The price is two yuan cheaper than before, just pick out the fabrics and ingredients! They don't make it like yours. After finishing, the remaining fabric is returned. No matter how much fabric they have, they use it as rags and never return it."
Xu Yin clicked her tongue: "... Then there are still people who go to her house to make clothes?"
"Then what can we do? There are not many experienced tailors in our county, and they are the only one here. Fortunately, the price is clear, so we can only cut the fabric as accurately as possible to avoid wasting it. Now it's okay, your sister-in-law will I'll be looking for your home to make clothes from now on! Oh, by the way, my sister is getting engaged next month and asked me to make a red skirt. I also brought the material. It's chiffon and soft yarn. We can't buy it here yet. Well, my sister asked a friend to bring it from Haicheng, is it okay with your sister-in-law?"
"Your sister trusts me so much?" Xu Yin said with a smile.
"Ahem, actually she went to the tailor shop and asked, but she was told that she couldn't make it in time, and she had to pay more to jump in line. So I patted my chest and said that I could do it for her, and it was more fashionable than the tailor shop. You must help me complete this task. Ah! My confidence is blown away."
