Chapter 33
After seeing off Liu Qingsong and his son, Liu Xinyu went to the kitchen to boil some water, found two clean clothes from the closet, and took a bath with Liu Xinju.
Despite her young age, Liu Xinju is really capable.
Before Liu Xinyu wiped her hair, Liu Xinju had already washed and dried the clothes they had changed out of.
This time is already late at night for country people, but it is a bit early for Liu Xinyu.
Seeing the cut fabric on the sewing machine, Liu Xinyu planned to step on the sewing machine for a while and make a rough sketch even if she couldn't do it at night. However, the incandescent light above her head was not very bright, so she decided to give up after thinking about it.
Forget it, let's go to sleep.
I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but it turned out that I didn't seem to have much to think about, so I had no choice but to fall asleep.
The next day, Liu Xinyu was still sleeping with her head covered, and Liu Xinju got up.
She was too worried about the eels in the water tank. When she found out that all the eels were fine, she ran back to the bedroom excitedly and shook Liu Xinyu awake: "Sister Xinyu, they are not dead, not even one of them is dead!"
"What's the matter with life and death!" Liu Xinyu was a little angry when she got up. She frowned and muttered, and raised her wrist in a daze to check the time. Suddenly she remembered that she had become another person. Where was the watch?
Fu Fu sighed.
Only then did Liu Xinju think of Liu Xinyu's anger when she got up. Although she knew that Liu Xinyu must be unhappy, she still couldn't stop the excitement in her heart: "The eels are all alive, not a single one is dead!"
Liu Xinyu rolled on the bed twice, but in the end she was no match for Liu Xinju, who was extremely excited. She had to give up the idea of going back to sleep, sat up and looked outside: "Why did you get up so early to see the eels? Eels are very easy to feed, where are they like that?"
It would be easy to die."
Liu Xinju also felt a little embarrassed, but she was still very happy and smiled at Liu Xinyu.
Liu Xinyu reached out and poked Liu Xinju's head, and said angrily: "Look at you smiling like a little fool!"
"I'm so happy! I haven't eaten eels yet, but I don't know if I can give you my milk." Liu Xinju took a sip of saliva, a little worried that Chen Zhaodi would secretly exchange the eels for food like before.
Liu Xinyu couldn't help but eat it. To be honest, she didn't really like eating eel.
The reason why Liu Xinju hooked up with him to catch eels was because he wanted to exchange the eels for some food. After all, the sweet potato rice was a bit unpalatable.
When Liu Xinju said this, she felt a little sorry for this little cousin and felt that she should change her plan a little.
Even if the college entrance examination is about to resume, it will still take more than half a year to leave this place.
Now that I have taken over this body and received the inheritance of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Caiyue, I have to make some contributions to this family, at least to improve my grandma's life, so that life will no longer be as hard and difficult as it is now.
However, Liu Xinyu was still a little curious. In her memory, although Liu Qingshan was not very close to his parents and younger brothers, every season, Liu Qingshan would still send some fish, shrimps, and eels. How could Liu Xinju not eat eels before?
Woolen cloth?
It shouldn’t be!
Although grandma, uncle and aunt are a bit patriarchal, they are still much better than most families in the village, at least they are not too harsh on Liu Xinju.
"Have you never eaten eel?" Liu Xinyu asked while washing.
Liu Xinju nodded: "Well, every time the eel sent by my uncle was exchanged for milk for food."
Liu Xinyu felt even more sad. It seemed that the original memories were not enough to understand the extent of rural poverty in this era, and the lives of her grandparents and uncle were really not easy.
But when you think about it, it’s not surprising. Although there are four people working in the fields to compete for work points, they still have four children to raise, and the other three have to go to school. Nine-year compulsory education has not yet begun in this era, and even elementary school students still need teaching fees.
No wonder Wang Sanmei doesn’t want Liu Xinju to continue studying!
Looking at Liu Xinju, who was surrounded by people with envy in her eyes from time to time, and then thinking about Chen Zhaodi, who was looking at her with tears in her eyes, sometimes with expectation and sometimes with condemnation, Liu Xinyu felt even more that she should do something for this family.
Liu Xinyu secretly made up her mind. She looked up and saw Liu Xinju taking down the clothes she had washed and changed last night from the clothesline. She couldn't help but curiously asked: "Are the clothes dry?"
"It's not dry yet and it's a little damp. I have to change out of my clothes and go back to take care of my little brother. My mother has to go to work today." Liu Xinju said as she walked to the bedroom.
Liu Xinyu quickly reached out and grabbed her: "What clothes are you changing? I can't wear the clothes you are wearing! Just wear this and go back. Hang the ones on your hands and dry them before wearing them."
Liu Xinju's eyes lit up an octave: "Sister Xinyu, did you really give me this dress?"
Liu Xinyu rolled her eyes at Liu Xinju: "It's really true, more true than pearls!"
Then he snatched the clothes from Liu Xinju's hands and hung them up to dry on the clothesline again: "Okay, go home quickly."
Watching Liu Xinju jumping away, Liu Xinyu was not in a hurry to make breakfast and simply went back to the bedroom to tidy up the wardrobe.
Liu Xinyu was shocked by this arrangement.
There were a lot of them. In addition to the wardrobe in Liu Xinyu's bedroom, there were two large camphor wood boxes next to the wardrobe, which contained clothes that Liu Xinyu could no longer wear. Almost none of the clothes had patches.
This is almost impossible in this day and age.
The conditions of the Zhang family are among the best in the Minqin Brigade, and the clothes Zhang Hongyun usually wears are also patched.
It can be seen that Liu Xinyu is really the apple of Liu Qingshan's eye, and she was raised rich by Liu Qingshan.
With so many clothes, it is definitely not enough to rely on the father and daughter's cloth tickets alone. I don't know how Liu Qingshan achieved Liu Xinyu's freedom of dressing.
Of course, for the current Liu Xinyu, these clothes are really poor and tacky in terms of fabric and style.
But in this era, it is really good. At least in the Minqin Brigade, it should be one of the best.
She sighed deeply in her heart. Even Liu Xinyu herself didn't know why she was sighing. She just felt a bit stuffy and felt uncomfortable.
Liu Xinyu originally planned to go through all the clothes and sort out all the clothes that could not be worn, either for Liu Xinju or Zhang Hongyun, but after sorting out less than a fifth, she heard Chen Zhaodi's voice: "Xinyu
,time to eat!"
"Oh, how did you tinker with the sewing machine?" Apparently Chen Zhaodi entered the main room and saw the sewing machine.
Thinking that there was still fabric on the sewing machine that had been cut for Zhang Hongyun but had not yet been made, Liu Xinyu quickly put down the clothes she was sorting and came out of the bedroom: "Yunyun asked me to help her make some clothes. The living room is brighter than the bedroom, so I put down the sewing machine."
Moved out.”
"Do you really know how to make clothes? Did you really make the clothes you wore?" Chen Zhaodi looked at Liu Xinyu with wide eyes and asked in surprise.
Liu Xinyu was a little speechless. It turns out that Chen Zhaodi still doesn’t believe that she can make clothes!
