Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Xia Mingshuang also suggested that they rent the captain’s sewing machine, which would be both upright and good.

Currently, I can't afford it at home. A sewing machine costs at least 150 yuan, and you also need to pay for a sewing ticket. On the black market, it costs at least 250 yuan. This is a huge amount of money, and I can't even think about it.

It’s not easy for anyone to be able to sew airline tickets these days. Without connections and background, it’s impossible to do so.

It’s only 71, and most people’s conditions are poor. The good ones are either village cadres, people with jobs in the city, or people who secretly do some side jobs. It’s not easy to buy a sewing machine just by earning work points.

For sewing machines to be popularized in the countryside, it had to be after 76/77. At that time, the economy started to take off, industrial output also slowly increased, and living conditions were much better. Country people don't force themselves to get anything when they get married, but sewing machines and bicycles are generally required.

Song Yanmin happened to come over to talk to Xia's father about carpentry work. Seeing Xia Mingshuang there, he sat down and chatted.

Hearing that they were talking about renting a sewing machine, he said: "It's better to rent it, use mine."

His family bought a new sewing machine before. His mother asked for a sewing machine, so he paid for it and gave her all the money he saved to buy the sewing machine.

It was bought by his mother for his blind date and marriage. Xia Mingshuang didn't dare to use it, and she didn't want to owe him any favors. She smiled and said, "You'd better ask the captain, Minghui has used his before."

In Xiajiagou, the secretary, captain, accountant, Song Yanmin and another family had sewing machines. That family was very stingy and they didn't even have to think about it, but the captain and secretary could still ask.

Song Yanmin frowned slightly and looked at Xia Mingshuang, "Why are you so alienated from me? You don't need to owe me any favors. This belongs to my uncle and me. My mother wants to arrange a house, so I'll ask my uncle when he can make arrangements. "

Xia's father said: "There is not much work in the fields, and the production team is relaxed. I can do it at any time. Have you pulled all the wood?"

Song Yanmin: "Okay, they are all ready-made boards. They can be used directly after several years."

Newly cut wood cannot be used directly. It must be dried in the shade for several years to allow it to fully shrink and expand in the air. In this way, the furniture or upper beams will not change again.

He chatted with Xia's father for a while, then called to Brother Xia and his second brother, "Let's go and bring the sewing machine over."

Xia Mingshuang winked at Xia's mother.

Xia's mother hurriedly said: "Yanmin, don't be rash. Your mother bought this for you to go on a blind date and find a wife. How can it be used by others first?"

Song Yanmin: "Why can't the ones used for the wedding be given to others?"

He glanced at Xia Mingshuang and said, "Maybe she doesn't know how to make clothes and doesn't need a sewing machine. Besides, it's okay to have a sewing machine at home. Is it possible to buy one and just let it gather dust and not be used by others? My mother and sister-in-law have also used it."

And he never thought about marrying a wife at home according to his mother's arrangements.

When he was [-] or [-] years old, his feelings could not be fully released. When Jiro was still young, his feelings failed and could not be continued. After several years of struggling in the army, he lost interest in getting married.

Now he doesn't want to get married at all, he just wants to go out with someone to do something and make a lot of money.

His years in the army completely aroused his passion and made him no longer content with being ordinary.

To put it bluntly, he accidentally saw it in a book written by the secretary that day: Once upon a time, it was difficult to make water, except for Wushan, it would not be clouds.

He insisted on borrowing it, but Xia's father and mother were embarrassed, so they finally asked Song's mother.

Song's mother was also generous and agreed immediately.

She could see that her son must be lent to the Xia family for Xia Mingshuang. Could it be that she was reluctant to let him go? Isn't that just trying to save your son's face?

Besides, at the beginning, the Xia family looked down upon their Yanmin and disliked that he was going to be a soldier and would be away from home all year round, and that he might be in danger on the battlefield, so they refused their marriage proposal and instead married their daughter to that college student Gu Yunshan.

But so what?

Unlike Gu Yunshan, who doesn't go home all year round, there's also no man in the family who knows how to feel hot or cold? Not as good as her Yanmin family.

Song's mother even knew that Xia Mingshuang still had feelings for her son, otherwise she wouldn't have come to find her daughter in the rain when she heard that Yan Min was going on a blind date.

Mother Song also felt proud. You rejected my son back then, but didn't your daughter still miss him after she got married?

In fact, Xia's father and Xia's mother did not hear directly about their proposal of marriage.

Because Liu Hongying and Xia Ming had a good relationship with each other, and they always acted like they wanted to take charge of the family for their sisters, and they always said they wanted to find a good partner for Ming Shuang, so Song's mother asked Liu Hongying sideways.

As a result, Liu Hongying explained that her parents disdained soldiers, so she wanted to do whatever she wanted. Mother Song's heart was shattered at that time.

Then something happened between Xia Mingshuang and Gu Yunshan, and Xia Mingshuang quickly married Gu Yunshan. Mother Song saw her son depressed, and she felt really uncomfortable, feeling that the Xia family deserved it.

She also had a problem with Xia Mingshuang. If you like my son, can't you be braver? Even if you tell me, I can't help you even if I go out of my way to do it?

In the final analysis, Xia Mingshuang disliked the poor and loved the rich. She admired Gu Yunshan for being handsome and a college student, but disliked that his son was a poor soldier.

But in my heart, my son is the best, and he is more than worthy of anyone!

Xia Mingshuang wanted to use a sewing machine. Song's mother was not happy, but she accepted her son's original wishes.

If Xia Mingshuang knew what Mrs. Song was thinking, he would be shocked. Where is this? The old lady was definitely thinking about it day and night.

It's a pity that she doesn't know, and Song's mother is willing to lend it to Minghui, so let's borrow it. Anyway, she doesn't owe a favor.

Song Yanmin helped them carry the sewing machine over and set it up. Then he asked Xia Mingshuang to wait while he pushed a few baskets of fruit over in a cart.

When the time comes, the persimmons on the tree will turn red, the astringency will fade away, and the taste will be sweet. However, there are too many birds, and they will be pecked every day if they are hung on the tree. Farmers will pick the fruits when they are not yet ripe, and if they are soaked in boiling water or covered with apples or the like, they will become ripe and soft, and they will be delicious.

In addition to persimmons, he also got a bag of autumn pears, which are local Yali pears, which are soft, sweet and have a good taste.

Another bunch of hawthorns are all bright red and moist, and the pitted ones are particularly beautiful.

Xia Mingshuang refused, "Brother Yanmin, this is too much, we can't finish it."

Song Yanmin smiled and said, "Don't you know how to make delicious food? Persimmons can be used to make persimmon cakes, hawthorns can be used to make hawthorn cakes and hawthorn paste, and pears are not bad if left alone. By the way, I see there are jams in the city, so you can definitely make them too."

Xia Mingshuang is very good at it.

Seeing her move, Song Yanmin smiled and said, "When you make it, just give me two cans to try."

Xia Mingshuang hesitated and said: "I don't feel comfortable if you give it to me for free, it's too much. Let's do this, I'll pay for it from you."

Song Yanmin was not willing to ask for her money, "In this case, you can share a few cans with me and I will see my friend off."

Xia Mingshuang was thinking that he must know the fruit farmers, so he could get more fruits to make jam, and then we could share the money together.
