Chapter 7 Making sleeves
In the evening, the second child, Su Qing, came back from the tailor's house with a heavy heart on her back, carrying a big package.
Today at the master's house, she heard that the elder sister kicked out the elder brother-in-law from the house, and the outsiders said it was ugly.
In fact, she didn't agree with it in her heart, but her parents told her to listen to her elder sister before they died.
never mind!
As long as the eldest sister is happy, let her do it!
Su Qing made up her mind and stopped thinking about it. She tried her best to squeeze a smile on her thin face and walked into the house.
However, everything in front of her made her wonder if she had gone to the wrong door.
Su Qing took a step back, making sure that it was the gate of her own house.
Su Wen was distributing peach cakes to Su Xiaomei and Su Xiu. When she saw Su Qing coming in, she couldn't help but take a second look.
In terms of appearance, Su Qing's appearance is six points like her own, but because of long-term malnutrition, her development is not very good.
"Second sister, come in quickly, there is something delicious." Su Xiu greeted again and again, happier than in the New Year.
"Oh!" Su Qing came in in a daze, until she took a bite of the peach cake and tasted the sweet and sweet taste that melted in her mouth, rippling until her heart.
The eldest sister is willing to share the peach cakes with everyone!
Actually, Su Qing always knew that her elder sister secretly hid peach cakes. Although she wanted to eat them very much, she still held back.
"Are you wearing a cloth head? Quickly bring it to me."
Su Wen spent the whole afternoon cleaning, familiarizing herself with the family situation, and cooking dinner.
After finishing all the work, she will be waiting to show her skills and make sleeves. When she was a child, she would also make shoes with her grandma, sewing and mending.
"Ah? Oh!" Su Qing put down the cloth bag, took a mouthful of peach cakes in a daze, and felt that the sweetness of the crispy cakes bloomed in her mouth, and she was sure that everything was true.
I don't know why, but my eyes are sore and astringent. The peach cake in her mouth is the most delicious food she has ever eaten, and she will never forget it in her life.
Su Wen pretended not to see Su Qing's strangeness, lowered her head to tidy up her bags, and was pleasantly surprised to find that many cloth heads were actually quite large, not the small pieces she had imagined.
There are cotton, Dacron, khaki, various colors, etc., and even a ball of elastic.
Great, it is not a problem to have these things and want to make sleeves.
Su Wen has a good appreciation of art, and is very good at matching and serious. She separates the cloth heads according to the appropriate size.
Different cloth heads have geometric shapes, and the colors are matched reasonably. A sleeve protector is quickly made, which is actually very good-looking, and it can’t be seen that it is made of rags.
The three sisters looked straight at the side.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"Sleeve protector, it's hot now, and I'm going to plant rice seedlings in the ground again. I'm going to make some sleeve protectors for sale, which can prevent sun protection and prevent leeches and mosquito bites."
Su Wen put on the sleeve, from the wrist to the arm. I took it off and put it on my calf, and made a few gestures to see if it was the right size.
There seemed to be light in Su Qing's eyes, and she turned over the sleeves she had made, "Sister, you have a good idea, we have a lot of these rags."
The master gave some big ones, but she was too timid to take them. If she had known that the eldest sister could make such a beautiful sleeve, she would have taken it all.
"Can it be sold? If you are caught, it will be speculation."
"Don't worry, it can be sold. Let's make dozens of them in the next few days, and I will bring them to the town to sell."
"How much can one sell for?"
Su Wen is not very clear about the current prices, but she has a standard in her heart, "How much is an egg?"
"The smaller ones cost 8 cents, and the larger ones can be sold for 9 cents each!"
