Chapter 35

Sister Ding and Sister Feng comforted Tian Tiantian together. The old sisters-in-law were bored and liked to tease the young wives.

Tian Tiantian, who was shy, was their favorite candidate.

From this point of view, it was inevitable that the villagers and the city people in the family compound were divided into two camps. The sisters-in-law in the village spoke without scruples and liked to talk about the couple’s kang. The sisters-in-law in the city paid more attention to privacy and would not talk about these things.

The four people looked at the cotton and cloth prepared by Song Shuqian.

This was really a big project.

Spread the cut cloth flat on the kang, and each of the four people took a corner, spread the cotton a little

bit, and pushed it to the middle. When spreading the cotton, the four people were very careful, trying to put it in small balls to avoid unevenness. Then smooth it out little by little with your hands.

Finally, sew it up little by little with another piece of cloth.

There was no way to use a sewing machine in this process, so the four people had to work together.

Song Shuqian wore two thimbles to protect her hands.

There is strength in numbers. The four of them finished making such a large mattress in one morning.

“Eat here at noon. I’ve prepared everything.” Song Shuxi didn’t want them to go back. The three of them really helped a lot.

Tian Tiantian and the others didn’t refuse. The four of them had a good relationship and often ate together. There was no need to divide the food so clearly.

“Today we’re going to have a big rice dumpling. I just learned it a few days ago.” Song Shuxi has been very enthusiastic about this recently.

It’s very simple to make. Fry some egg sauce with two eggs, mash the steamed potatoes and eggplants, add brown rice, and mix them together. Then use large vegetable leaves to wrap them together.

The taste is very good.

One for each person, simple and delicious.

After dinner, they continued to struggle with the mattress.

The size of this kang was too big, and it was not easy to buy such a wide cloth. Song Shuxi used small pieces of cotton cloth of different colors to make beautiful patterns and made a large kang sheet. When it was spread, the whole room was bright.

“Shuxi, your craftsmanship is so good. These seemingly messy fabrics have become all kinds of beautiful little animals in your hands,” Tian Tiantian praised sincerely. She followed Song Shuxi to learn how to make clothes, and she knew her craftsmanship best.

Especially the embroidery skills. If there is a small hole in the clothes, other families will use a piece of cloth to patch it, but Song Shuxi will embroider a suitable pattern, and it looks like a new dress no matter how you look at it.

When she first arrived at the family compound, many people bet on how long Song Shuxi could stay here and how many times she quarreled with Wei Jianguo on average per week.

Although their place is not the most difficult place, it is still much worse than big cities like Jinling.

Many young wives who came here to follow the army could not stand the hardship and took the initiative to go back not long after they arrived.

Song Shuxi looked like a girl who was pampered at home.

When she first came, she didn’t know how to light a fire, so she filled the house with smoke and provided a lot of fun for everyone.

Unexpectedly, she adapted so well and now she works well. There is no way to compare with the other wives in the village, but taking care of herself is not a problem.

Since getting married, Wei Jianguo’s clothes have been very smart.

They are all military uniforms, and Song Shuqian will help him to make them fit better, and can repair any damaged parts so that they cannot be seen by the naked eye. During breaks, Wei Jianguo has more clothes, and summer sweatshirts look very cool. It is hard to say why they are good-looking, but they are very comfortable.

With her craftsmanship, Song Shuqian has now successfully integrated into the group of military wives.

After finishing the work in hand, the four people moved to the yard.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, under the shade of the trees, the stone table and stone benches that had been exposed to the sun for a whole morning were warm and very comfortable. The

four people sat, feeling the afternoon breeze, with the wild tea they picked together at hand.

Drinking water and chatting at the same time, it was so pleasant.

“When are we going to pick mountain products? To the mountain behind?” Song Shuqian was thinking about her chestnuts.

Mrs. Feng poured cold water on him without hesitation, “The kitchen team goes up to the mountain behind us every year. In winter, they also have to ensure the nutrition of the soldiers. When the supply is insufficient, the kitchen team must find a way themselves. They live off the mountain, so they go there quite early every year.

” “Then can we go directly to the village below and find fellow villagers to exchange things?”

“This is feasible. We still have a lot of things here. It’s just that the inspection is strict now. We must exchange things and never use money.” Mrs. Feng said this because of those people who like to report people in the compound recently. If you

use money, you will inevitably be reported for speculation.

“Then let’s find a time to go and exchange together. I also have a piece of red cloth. The weather is cold in the second half of the year, and it’s time for people in the village to get married. I should be able to exchange a lot of things.” Tian Tiantian needs a lot, and she wants to send it home.

“Tomorrow?” Song Shuqian asked.

“Tomorrow is not possible. Wait for another half a month. This half month is the time for the villagers to prepare. They will exchange as much as they pick. Half a month later, they will start to stock up for their own families.” Mrs. Feng has been here for a long time and knows a lot about these.

After finishing their business, the four people started to chat about gossip.

Tian Tiantian’s room in the tube building is simply the birthplace of gossip.

“You all know Ma Caoya, right? The one who was very anxious to have a baby, finally got pregnant. Now she calls her flat belly “son” every day, touches her belly whenever she has time, and sticks out her waist high, which is very funny.

Recently, she asked everyone she meets, why haven’t you gotten pregnant yet, are you not capable. As a result,

everyone turns and runs away when they see her. She is so arrogant.

After knowing that she is pregnant, I was so happy that I wanted to set off two firecrackers to celebrate.”

“Ah? Why are you celebrating her pregnancy?” Song Shuqian couldn’t understand. Is there some story that she doesn’t know?

Noticing everyone’s eyes, Tian Tiantian cried out that she was wronged.

“You don’t know how hard she worked to have this child. The couple worked until midnight every day. They started as soon as it got dark and took a nap when they were tired. They woke up in the middle of the day and did it again one or two times.

They also exercised before getting up in the morning. The most terrifying thing is that they didn’t control their voices at all. Their throats were howling. I haven’t had a good sleep for a long time.

Now they finally got what they wanted, and they can be quiet. At least the 10 months of pregnancy and the month of confinement were quiet.” Song Shuqian

felt

a little sympathetic to Tian Tiantian. What kind of life did she live every day? No wonder she was so shameless.

“No one went to the Women’s Federation to report it?” Sister Ding felt that this matter would affect many people, and there must be those who couldn’t bear to see others do well.

“Why is no one reacting? Ma Caoya said that she can even interfere with the affairs of the couple’s room. She also said…she also said…let everyone work hard with her to have a baby as soon as possible.”

Tian Tiantian blushed after she finished speaking. She was unhappy to be forced to eavesdrop every day.

Moreover, her family Liu Xinguo would also react after hearing the scene, and she would be the only one who suffered in the end.
