Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

"You said this, I made this myself, not bought it in Lushi."

The aunt's eyes lit up, "Then how much does this fabric cost?"

Meng Xiaoman told her the price, she pressed her eyes, paused briefly and asked, "Can it be made with other fabrics?"

"Okay." Meng Xiaoman replied, the styles are the same.

After hearing what she said, the aunt immediately asked: "Girl, can you make one for me? Don't worry, I won't let you do it in vain, I will give it to you

Handicraft fee. "

Meng Xiaoman didn't dare to ask for labor fees. If someone reported him like this now, he would probably be accused of speculation. "Here, I can't collect money."

The aunt also understood what she meant and felt a little disappointed. "Then what should I do? The ready-made clothes in Lu City are too expensive. I bought cloth. I and my daughter are not very popular and the clothes are not good-looking."

Meng Xiaoman saw her sad face and asked her if these clothes were important.

"Isn't it? This is what my daughter will wear on her wedding day. It's just that neither of us are very good at tailoring clothes."

"Well, let's do it for you. It doesn't cost any money, but I have to use these bamboo radish to pay for the craftsmanship fee. What do you think?" This kind of thing is bartering and exchanging what is needed at best, not speculation.

"Really? That's great!" The aunt immediately returned Zhuluo's money to Meng Xiaoman.

"Don't be in a hurry, ma'am. Just wait until the clothes are ready and you can return them to me."

"Take the money, and Zhuluo too. I believe you."

When making clothes, you need to measure the size and ask the wearer's preferences. Meng Xiaoman made an appointment with the aunt to measure the size and pick up the cloth tomorrow.

After returning home, Meng Xiaoman began to cut and dry fruits.

Gu Mengjie came to visit and saw that the yard was full of fruits of all kinds, "Xiaoman, what are you doing to open a shop with so many fruits?"

"Dry the fruit." Meng Xiaoman said, "After drying, keep it as a snack. It's delicious." He handed her a piece of dried mango.

Gu Mengjie took a bite. It was sweet and sour, with a bit of toughness. It was very suitable as a snack and made people want to eat it.

"Xiaoman, I have good news for you." Gu Mengjie touched her belly, "I'm pregnant."

"Really?" Meng Xiaoman quickly moved a stool for her and asked her to sit down.

"Really, speaking of it, it was there when I was eating at your house that day, but I didn't notice it. Later in the morning I kept retching, and I would feel nauseous when I smell greasy food. I didn't find out until I went to the doctor."

"Then you still have your period..."

"The doctor said that this happens sometimes and it's normal."

"That's great." Meng Xiaoman was really happy for her, "What if you give birth and have confinement later."

"Chang Qing said that he would ask his mother to come and take care of me. However, it's still early. This dried fruit is quite delicious. I want to share some of it. Can you teach me."

Sun-drying fruits is much easier than cooking. After telling it twice, Gu Mengjie knows how to do it.

The next day, Meng Xiaoman went to Sun's house where she sold bamboo radish. Aunt Sun's house was in the village, not far from the market. Meng Xiaoman rode her bicycle and arrived there in less than twenty minutes.

Probably because children in the village rarely see bicycles, as soon as she entered the village, she was followed by a group of children chasing and shouting.

When they arrived at Aunt Sun's house, Aunt Sun and her daughter were already waiting. When they learned that Meng Xiaoman came on a bicycle, her daughter Sun Xiaoru hurried out and pushed the bicycle into the courtyard for her, "This thing is too expensive. , don’t let anyone steal it outside.”

After taking the measurements, Meng Xiaoman asked her what kind of clothes she preferred, pants or skirts.

"Skirt? I don't look good in a skirt, and it's not convenient to work in a skirt." Sun Xiaoru said.

But Aunt Sun said, "This is for your wedding day. It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient for work, as long as it looks good." This daughter is the eldest and has helped the family for many years. She feels distressed and indebted. Now that she was getting married, it was a once-in-a-lifetime happy event, and she wanted her to go out beautifully and gracefully.

You know, this day is the happiest day in a woman’s life, and she will always remember it in the future.

"Yes, and the skirt is not only made for weddings, but can also be worn in the future." At this time, there are no clothes that can be worn once and then left idle. Even rags have to be used to paste the soles of shoes.

"Really?" Sun Xiaoru asked, with excitement in her tone. There is no girl who doesn’t want to wear a skirt and look pretty, especially when she gets married.

"real."

Sun Xiaoru has a pear-shaped figure, with fatter butt and thighs. When Meng Xiaoman took the measurements just now, she discovered that the hips and legs of her trousers were very loose, while the calves were relatively narrow. It seemed that in order to cover up this shortcoming, it actually made the hips and thighs more prominent. He looks fatter.

"Actually, your figure is very suitable for wearing a skirt." Meng Xiaoman analyzed with her, "The skirt of the skirt is more tolerant than pants, and can wrap your hips and thighs well. And your waist and calves are It’s relatively thin and highlights these two delicate places.”

Sun Xiaoru was still a little undecided because she was very inferior about her figure. She had never worn a skirt. "Mom, what do you think?"

Aunt Sun was more decisive than her, "According to what Comrade Meng said, you haven't seen the dress she wore yesterday. It was so beautiful. It was like a fairy descending to earth. If you put on such a beautiful dress when you get married, She must be the most beautiful bride in our Yushan brigade."

The cloth Aunt Sun bought was aqua blue, which was more everyday. Considering the future utilization rate, Meng Xiaoman planned to make the skirt into a short-sleeved shirt and a mid-length skirt.

Sun Xiaoru's upper and lower body proportions were not very good, so Meng Xiaoman deliberately raised her waistline. The belt adopts a lace-up method, and the thickness can be adjusted freely. She can wear it even if her figure changes in the future.

The skirt was easy to make. Meng Xiaoman started cutting it when she got home. Considering that the wedding was a more formal occasion, the collar of the skirt was a neat lapel style.

I thought the aqua blue color was a bit monotonous, so Meng Xiaoman used red embroidery thread and embroidered a few bright flowers on both ends of the collar to make it look more festive.

For the buttons of her petticoat, Meng Xiaoman did not use freshly knitted buttons. Instead, she found a few small white shell buttons from the space and attached them.

After the clothes were finished, Meng Xiaoman sent them to Aunt Sun's house and asked Sun Xiaoru to try them on and see if there was anything that needed to be changed.

Meng Xiaoman followed her into the house to change clothes. Seeing that her hair was black and long, he gave her a bridal braid.

Sun Xiaoru changed her clothes and came out quietly.

"Mom, does it look good?"

Aunt Sun seemed to be in disbelief and opened her lips slightly, "Good-looking, really good-looking." After saying this, she nodded hurriedly, "My daughter is really good-looking." After speaking, she punched the person next to her, "Her father, what do you mean? Yes or no?"

Uncle Sun on the side had not yet recovered from his surprise and rubbed his eyes, "This, this, is really my daughter?".
