Chapter 4 Chapter Four

There is my grandfather in my hometown. My grandfather is an illiterate and stubborn old farmer.On the first day back to my hometown, I witnessed the power of my grandfather.The people who escorted me were so ignorant, they had to go to the commune to go through the handover procedures, but they had to send me home, and that was enough, and they had to give me another call.My grandfather didn't know what they were doing at the beginning, he thought they were my friends, and treated them very warmly, and then he saw them and began to scold me: "Yang Wei, your performance in the countryside is very bad, now You have to learn a lesson when you are sent back to your hometown, you are only allowed to work honestly, and you are not allowed to do anything wrong and destroy Chairman Mao’s policy of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, do you understand clearly?”

My grandpa stared at me and asked me, "What the hell are they doing?" I said, "They belonged to the dictatorship team in the place where I went to the countryside and escorted me back to my hometown." My grandpa exploded when he heard that, he picked up the top bar and threw it at those two people: "The shitty ones came to my house to show their prestige, I'll break your dog legs!" The sudden blow stunned those two ignorant guys, but it made me suddenly sober. Here, I am the master, and here I can even be effectively protected by the whole village, because this is my hometown and my foundation where.The two dictatorship team members who escorted me back to my hometown escaped to the courtyard in time, but their mouths were still firm: "Yang Wei, no matter where you go, you have to accept the dictatorship of the proletariat..."

"Accept your hammer!" Grandpa rushed out waving the top door bar. I was afraid that he would suffer a disadvantage and followed immediately, but those two guys ran away like rabbits. Behind them, I don't know who's two dogs barking Barking and chasing and biting their asses.People in the village came out to see me one after another. They seemed to know me and asked my grandpa, "Is this Yang Wei?" My grandpa replied quite proudly, "Yes, it is Yang Wei, my grandson, who came back to take root and set up a family. gone." Without Ye Shengnan, life here is like a terminally ill patient waiting to die, extremely boring.I often miss Ye Shengnan. If she can really live with me in my hometown, life in my hometown will become rich and colorful.I write to her almost every day, and writing letters has become my only pastime, so that my writing has also improved greatly.However, I can’t feed my stomach by writing letters, and I have to participate in agricultural labor. Here I can’t wander around the countryside like I did in Yegoupo. There are folks everywhere. If something like that happens, people will dig their ancestors’ graves. I can run, but the ancestral grave cannot.

Compared with the farmers in Yegoupo, the level of farming in my hometown is the same as that between a college degree and the third grade of elementary school.Farmers in Yegoupo cultivated the land extensively, turning up the land, spreading fertilizers, sowing seeds, and then waiting for the harvest.Where farmers in Guanzhong, Shaanxi are farming land, it is simply a finely carved artistic creation.Before sowing, their fields must go through a series of processes such as turning, raking, and grinding, until there is no weed in the field or a piece of soil, and then they start to raise manure.Raising manure is also very particular, it must be spread evenly, if you are not an expert, the manure will often be scattered here and there, and you will be scolded for that.After the manure is spilled on the ground, the ground needs to be stir-fried, that is, the manure scattered on the ground is turned over again with the soil, so that the manure and the soil are fully mixed. The method is similar to that of sugar-fried chestnuts.It is even more troublesome when sowing. When we sow in Yegoupo, we just scatter the wheat grains on the ground in large quantities, but here we have to use plowshares to make small furrows in the ground with almost the same depth and width. , and then the wheat grains are spread evenly according to a certain number and density by a special person.Before the seedlings came out, they had to water them, and they were afraid that the ground would harden, so they had to use a small shovel to loosen the soil inch by inch. However, this kind of loosening was done by women, and the women lined up horizontally. Squat on the ground, move forward inch by inch, and carefully loosen the surface of the ground while moving so that the wheat seedlings can emerge from the soil.

If it is cotton, it will be even more troublesome. All kinds of procedures and homework over and over again can make me, a layman, dizzy.However, the work of sharpening cotton is a beautiful scene of harmony between man and nature. On the green field, women in red and green are neatly lined up in a row, with colorful pockets around their waists, used to dress up the pinched cotton. Cotton branches, this kind of tender branches can be eaten with cold dishes after boiling in boiling water.Their hands are like lively doves dexterously flying on the cotton branches, and their figures are like blooming flowers in the green ocean. The women embellish the vast field with their own vitality and beauty.At this time, I am often moved and attracted by these pastoral beauty, so that I can't forget to return.

In the harvest season, I can only do some extra work, sending wheat to the thresher. The work pay is high, but it is very dangerous.Raising the field is even more difficult work. Farmers use heavy wooden shovels to scatter the wheat in the field into waterfalls. You don't get excited.It's a pity that I can only watch from the side, or sweep the wheat grains scattered on the sidelines with the women. My grandpa told me to learn crop work, he is known far and wide for crop handling.Crop can earn a full-time job in the team after he has learned how to do it well.But I gradually realized that it was too late for me to start learning the complicated farming skills of Guanzhong farmers from now on.Comrade Deng Xiaoping said that the popularization of computers should start from the baby, but in fact, the learning of farm work should also start from the baby.Farming is a comprehensive ability that combines a variety of skills. In addition to having a strong body, you must have a wealth of agricultural knowledge and a long-term practice process.For example, plowing the land seems simple, but you must master the performance of various plows, understand the character of animals, and be able to yell at animals, and be able to measure the width of each furrow on the land being cultivated with your eyes, etc. Wait.This is an innate skill that cannot be learned by reading books or taking lessons or teaching by example. It needs to be experienced and mastered by oneself in actual work.I think that if I really learn all kinds of agricultural skills to support myself in the countryside, it will be difficult to achieve anything in the rest of my life.My parents and cousins ​​started to learn all kinds of farm work skills when they were learning to walk. How can I catch up with them at my age?

Ribs sent me a letter from Yegoupo, saying that they have started recruiting educated youth, and those who have been in the countryside for more than two years can be recruited. Ye Shengnan, Paste Bread, Meng Wenli, and Wu Mengna have been recalled to the factory as workers.I heard that there will be a second batch and a third batch. I asked if there was any news about recruiting workers here. If we couldn’t recruit workers here, would I have made up my mind to go back and recruit workers to become workers in the factory.When I first returned to my hometown, I exchanged letters with Ye Shengnan quite frequently, and we often talked about vows of eternal love and so on. Later, her letters gradually became rare. After I wrote her a letter, she did not reply to me for a long time .She obviously wrote the letter of determination to take root with me. I was still struggling in the countryside, but she had already gone back to the city to work as a worker. This was beyond my expectation.

This news began to make me anxious, and I began to feel uneasy about continuing to hang out in the countryside, and began to strengthen the connection with my family.Grandpa insisted that I stay with him in the countryside, marry a strong rural wife who could bear children, and give him a bunch of great-grandchildren crawling around on the ground, and inherit his big courtyard with green bricks and tiles and two acres of private land.For this reason, he began to actively seek out my daughter-in-law everywhere.My grandfather believed in the fallacy that "the ugly wife Susukada rotten padded jacket" is the three treasures of the family, and he specially found such ugly girls with big arms and round waists to be my wife.The matchmaker he entrusted once brought me back a big girl with a head about my size, a waist that was a bit thicker than mine, and a face that was plumper than most people's buttocks for me to look at.I also once introduced to me a Mapi girl who "sees rotten pears from a distance, and orange peels up close. When it rains, there is no water, but when the wind blows, it is mud."I was worn out and terrified by my grandpa's enthusiasm.I wish I could run away immediately, but my household registration has already returned to my hometown. From a theoretical and legal point of view, I am now a farmer in my hometown, and I have nothing to eat when I go to the city, so I keep putting pressure on my family and write letters to tell me Mom, my grandfather is looking for a wife for me, let me start a family and start a business in my hometown, and inherit his courtyard house.I threatened my parents and said that if my grandfather changed the idea that finding an ugly wife is a blessing and introduced me to a beautiful one, I would just marry and start a family in the countryside.I knew that my mother and father would never allow me to take root and bear fruit in the countryside. Sure enough, my mother quickly wrote back to me, warning me that I was absolutely not allowed to marry in the countryside, even if the woman was a fairy.Tell me that there are two new construction projects in the city that are recruiting a large number of workers, and they are going through the procedures for me to transfer back. Let me not be impatient, and they will definitely get me back to the city as soon as possible.

With the news of my mother, our hometown has become a hot pot. I am the ant in the pot. I am restless all day long and have no thoughts about doing anything. I run around in four towns and eight towns, wishing I could get it right away. Recruitment procedures.I felt that my life was almost exhausted in this kind of anxious waiting, so I wrote to my family again, fabricating that my grandfather was inspired by the selection of good seeds, and had changed his mind. In order to optimize the quality of offspring, he decided to give it to himself. My grandson is looking for a beautiful daughter-in-law, and recently introduced me to a woman whose father is a cadre of a commune. The woman has a junior high school education and is very beautiful, suggesting that I am very interested in that woman at home...

My mother was terrified when I received this letter. I was afraid that I would really marry a wife and have children in my hometown, and would never return to her side. In desperation, I didn’t know what method to take to force my father who had been reinstated to use his power. Seeking a personal gain, I went through the formalities of sick leave for me, so that I could say goodbye to my hometown, and say goodbye to my grandfather who deliberately planned to leave me in my hometown as the successor of the house through marriage.Soon, the family finally sent a job recruitment notice and a household registration transfer certificate.My mother also wrote a letter asking me to hurry up, fearing that Ye Changmeng would not be able to tell when the policy would change and I would go back to the mountains and go to the countryside, and my business would not be able to be done.My mother also said, don't tell my grandfather about this in advance, lest he go to the commune and the production team to stop it. If he comes forward to stop it, the matter will probably not be done.

My mother wrote in the letter: "Your grandpa wants you to stay in the countryside to support him. He is over 80 years old. After he passed away, you will be left alone there. Neither your father nor I are willing to let you live." Tossed alone in the countryside..." The next day I bought a bunch of cheap cigarettes and cheap liquor, and told my grandpa that I was visiting relatives and friends, but in reality I went to the production team, brigade, and commune to go through the household registration procedures.It is not difficult to go through the procedure of relocation. It is very easy to transfer the rural household registration.At that time, the cadres didn’t have much appetite. Two packs of cigarettes costing a few cents a box, and a bottle of liquor costing one or two yuan, could make the cadres at all levels from the production team, the brigade to the commune not only try their best to help me, but also kept secret and blocked me. information.At that time, the popular bribery method was "a row of sub-guns, grenades, and a large swath of them." "Paizi gun" is smoke, and "grenade" is wine. Practice has proved that this jingle is absolutely correct.Soon, I went through all the formalities, bid farewell to my melancholy grandfather, and boarded the train home. My father and mother took a Beijing jeep to pick me up at the train station, which made me very flattered. Chairman Mao used this kind of car to inspect us when we were in series. I didn’t expect that I would also have the opportunity to ride in this high-end car.My dad is getting older, the white hair on his sideburns has become a phenomenon, and the wrinkles on his face have also become a network. Along the way, he proudly pointed out to me the newly built buildings, new production workshops and new buildings in the urban area. The trees planted seem to be accompanied by the head of the inspection, and it seems that he is showing off his works to the visitors. My mother sat beside me, looked at me with a kindness that I seldom saw, and constantly commented on my size, fatness, and complexion. She was not like my mother, but more like a son-in-law's mother-in-law. "If you don't come back to recruit workers, the time will pass, and you will lose your share in this wave. Almost all the children who went to the countryside with you have returned." My mother told me.I wanted to ask Ye Shengnan what she was doing now, but remembering her firm opposition to the matter between me and Ye Shengnan, I didn't dare to say anything. I saw Ye Shengnan on the second day after returning home. She was waiting in the stairway of our house. She stayed there unnoticed because her house was also upstairs.When I went downstairs, Lou Dao Hei didn't notice her, she kicked me, turned her head and walked away, I immediately followed behind her as if bound by an invisible rope, I was annoyed that I was worthless, but I still didn't care. I couldn't keep my legs, so I lied to myself, looking for reasons for my behavior: I went with her just to ask her why she cut off communication with me, why she didn't keep her promise and take root in the countryside for the rest of her life. I will ignore her from now on, and I will make a show in the factory to make her regret for cutting off relations with me for the rest of her life. I followed her to the windbreak forest on the side of the road, where we could not hide our figure, the poplar trees were sparsely scattered, and pedestrians and vehicles on the road could be seen through the branches of the poplar trees. "You came back yesterday?" She looked at me with a smile.She has changed a lot, her face has become paler, her skin has become thinner, her hair has been combed into shoulder-length waves, and she is wearing a Dacron shirt that was popular at the time, making her slimmer than when she was in the countryside. "You look stronger than before, not as dark as before." She commented on me. Instinctively, I looked down at myself, I put on the new overalls given to me by Er Qixi today.The nicknames of our brothers are arranged like this: I am the eldest and I am called Dadan, the second is Erdan, and now I am called Erdan, the third is a girl, and the youngest is Xiaomei.Our boy’s first name is ugly enough, for example, my name is “Yang Wei”, the homonym is the kind of disease that makes men most embarrassing.Our nickname is even more uncomfortable. My dad seems to have a special liking for the word egg. He bullied us when we were born and couldn’t speak or resist. He called us big eggs and two eggs. We wanted to reject this when we were sensible. It's too late for the title, they got used to it and we promised to get used to it.It is said that my father has a special liking for the word egg, which has also been verified by my son. When I had a son, my father gave him a nickname by adding an egg after my word egg, nicknamed Dandan . Er Chuxi’s overalls are large, and I was too big, so I asked him why he didn’t wear a medium size. Er Chuxi said that the workers did not get a medium size for their work clothes, and no one got a small size. Everyone got a large size. Yes, work clothes have shrunk. After shrinking, if it is still too big to fit, you can change it to a smaller size. The remaining cloth can be used for patching when the clothes are torn. If the clothes you received are too small, there is no way to change them.After entering the city, I can no longer wear the big crotch trousers and coarse cloth shirts that I used to dress up as peasants in my hometown. The clothes I left at home were already consumed by Er Chuxi and my younger sister while I was away, and my mother ignored me to change them when I came back. The need for clothing, so I had to put on this oversized overalls.I must have looked very strange at the time. My hair was the pot-cover style popular in the countryside. I really hate this hairstyle. The only person in the village who can shave his head is Heizi from the third uncle’s family. With a pot lid on it, if you have any objections, he will argue with you endlessly, insisting that this is the flat head or split head you want.The shoulder seams of my clothes slipped over my arms, the hems hung down my thighs, and my trousers bunched up on my feet.Fortunately, Ye Shengnan ignored my clothes on purpose, and didn't make irresponsible remarks about my attire. Maybe when we went to the countryside, our habit of paying attention to practicality and not appearance had worn away her aesthetic sense. Ye Shengnan laughed and said, "You came back more than a year later than us. If we were in the same workshop, I would be your master." I finally found the Huatou, so I grabbed it and began to question her: "Didn't you say that you would stay in the countryside for the rest of your life? Why did you come back so early?" She blushed, and looked down at her feet. I followed her eyes and saw that her feet drew inexplicable patterns on the ground. She had never had such a problem with drawing patterns on the ground with her feet before, but I I have to admit that this new posture of hers is quite good-looking, showing the characteristics of a girl who is delicate and shy.I found out later that this was a common gesture in the movies at the time, whenever the positive female character was showing shyness, shyness, shyness, that sort of thing. Ye Shengnan murmured, "I don't have the heart to take root if you leave. If you don't leave, I won't come back." Her light words immediately disarmed me, and all my grievances against her melted away, and I even forgot to ask her why she didn't write back to me later. She then breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It will be good if you come back, we can be together again, we are all working class." Maybe I stayed in the countryside for a long time, and I became clumsy with my tongue, maybe I have been separated from her for a long time, and I don't know what to say to her.She looked at my clothes with a smile and said at this time: "Look at you, the clothes are not changed, they are too big, go, I will change them for you." I asked: "Where to change?" She surprised me: "Come to your house, your house has a sewing machine." I hastily declined: "No, no, it hasn't shrunk yet. I'll change it when it shrinks." She understood that I was afraid that my mother would meet her, so she said again: "Then come to my house, no one is in charge of my house." She has an older brother and a younger brother, and her mother has never been to work since the incident of stealing cabbage and radishes from the cafeteria, and she is honestly the family.Ye Shengnan told me that her mother had a heart attack. I guess it was an excuse for her mother not to go to work.According to the population composition of their family, I guess the environment must be very noisy, and it is better not to go there, so I said: "No, just stay here for a while." She stretched out her hand and grabbed me and said, "Let's go, we are all grown-ups, and when you come back, you have to appear in front of others with full energy, and don't let people look at you as if you are down." Men in that era were often more "feudal" than women. For example, Ye Shengnan could pull me, kick me, or make other intimate gestures, but I didn't dare to touch her lightly. It was like a big crime to have the courage to touch her. Seems wrong.Although it is a small forest here, it is still on the street. If the passers-by on the street take a look into the forest, our behavior will be revealed. She took my hand, and I was so nervous that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. "are you going?" I had to follow her like a pet she kept. This is the first time I have come to her home, and her home is completely different from what I imagined, it is quiet and there is no one.I asked cautiously, "Where are your father and mother?" She gave me a strange look: "What time is it? Of course my dad has to go to work, and my mom may have gone out to buy groceries." I wanted to ask about your brother, but I didn't have the nerve to ask, because I was afraid that she would misunderstand that I had bad intentions.She heard what I didn't ask, and explained: "My brother has already gone to work and lives in the dormitory, and my younger brother and the others have gone to school." Their home is cleaner, more comfortable, and more luxurious than ours.There is a long sofa in their house, and it trembles when you sit on it, but my house does not have one. So far, my house sleeps on a wooden bed and sits on a wooden bench.There are many flowers and plants in their house, and I can’t name them. They look very prosperous, the leaves are all green, and the flowers are red, white, or neither red nor white.My family also has several pots of flowers. There is a pot of oleander, which grows very tall and almost reaches the roof, but it never blooms. It is said that it is a male, so it doesn’t bloom. My dad wants to throw it away, but my mother says it won’t bloom. It doesn't matter if it looks green, so I didn't throw it away.In addition, there are two pots of cactus, which have long thorns and do not bloom. If you are not careful, you have to let it pierce. My mother will throw it away. My father said that this thing purifies the air. Once it blooms, it will be more beautiful than ordinary flowers. My mother thinks Seeing how the cactus bloomed, I didn't throw it away, but the cactus has never bloomed. "Come, come to my room." Ye Shengnan pulled me into her room.Rare things are precious, Ye Shengnan is the only girl in their family, so she has the privilege of occupying a room by herself.Her room is indeed very different. The window screens are chain link, and the bed, table, and chairs are covered with light blue floral cloth covers. There is a vase on the window sill with a sprig of sycamore flower, and the whole room is full of it. Sweet and greasy aroma.This mood and smell made me feel strange, and I didn't know where to put my hands and feet when I entered the house. "Take off your clothes and pants and sit down for a while." How could I have the nerve to undress in front of her?She was about to reach out and paw me down: "Why are you so embarrassed, you forgot that when you went to the countryside, you walked around the world shirtless and wearing trousers all day long in summer?" When I mentioned the season of going to the countryside, the days when we were together through thick and thin appeared vividly in front of me. The strangeness caused by not being together for a long time disappeared instantly, and we got close emotionally immediately.Then I realized that I still had the package inside anyway, so I would not be naked, so I took off my work clothes as she ordered, and she threw me a book and went out with the clothes.The book she threw to me was that I had read this book before, and I had nothing to do at this time, so I just flipped through it at random.I turned to the plot of Paul and Dongia's relationship, and when it was related to the scene between me and Ye Shengnan, I couldn't help but feel my heart pounding, my mind was dizzy, and my breathing became short of breath.I tried my best to suppress the majestic heart tide and forced myself to focus on the plot in the book, but my mind was like a wild horse on the prairie, and it was difficult to restrain it no matter what.I heard the sound of splashing water outside, and thought that she might be shrinking my clothes, and I couldn't help being shocked. If the clothes couldn't dry, I couldn't leave. What if her parents came back?I love Ye Shengnan, but I don't love her parents.I guess her parents wouldn't love our family either. After a while, I heard the buzzing of the hair dryer again. It seems that I thought of Ye Shengnan as well. She was using the hair dryer to dry the clothes after they were in the water.At this time, I heard her mother came back. Her mother was a thin woman with a yellow complexion, which made people think that she was always listless. It was hard to imagine that she would steal cabbages and radishes from the cafeteria.Sometimes I met me in the courtyard and said hello to her: "Aunt Ye is out?" "Aunt Ye has eaten?" She always smiled and nodded, but didn't talk much. "What are you doing? You can just put your clothes in the water and hang them outside, so you are in a hurry to wear them?" "I still have to go to Xiaoli to change it." "Are you giving out work clothes again? I remember sending them out." "not mine." "who?" "Yang Wei's downstairs." "Oh, I heard that he's back, and the overalls are distributed so soon?" "Hmm..." Ye Shengnan replied vaguely. I was very embarrassed in the room, I took off my coat, and I was wearing a basket vest inside. As far as I know, there was a big hole in the back of the vest, and my lower body was a pair of red underpants. In the boudoir, I couldn't imagine how Ye Shengnan's mother would react when she saw me.I didn't know whether I should greet Ye Shengnan's mother or not, but when I heard Ye Shengnan's mother passed the door and went to the kitchen, I immediately came out of the room, wanting to run away, and ask Ye Shengnan for clothes afterwards.As for how I will explain to my family when I return home with this kind of virtue, I can't take care of it at this time. Just as I sneaked out of Ye Shengnan's room, Ye Shengnan's mother also came out of the kitchen. We met unexpectedly in the hallway, her mother was startled, "Ouch" and the kettle in her hand "clanged" "It fell to the ground with a sound.I was also taken aback, and instinctively bent down and reached out to pick up the water bottle that fell on the ground. Ye Shengnan's mother also instinctively bent down and lowered her head to pick up the water bottle that was dropped on the ground. My head and her mother's head were really "bang" They bumped into each other.Thin people have a hard head, and her mother is very thin, so her head is hard. I felt that my head hit a hard vegetable pile, and the pain made my eyes stare.Her mother also covered her head and said "ouch", probably she also thinks my head is too hard. Ye Shengnan rushed out to see what happened, and burst out laughing when she saw this, Ye Shengnan's mother stared at me blankly for a while, and finally recognized me. "Isn't this Yang Wei? What are you doing so carelessly? You knocked me to death." Her mother rubbed her forehead and said.My family has been neighbors with her family for so many years, and this is the time she talked to me the most.Seeing that Ye Shengnan was still laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, her mother was a little annoyed: "You damn girl is still laughing, look at my head, a bag." Ye Shengnan came over and rubbed her head for her mother, and seeing that I was also covering my head and rubbing it non-stop, she asked, "Is your head swollen?" I said, "There is also a bag." Ye Shengnan said: "Let me see, your bag is still my mother's." Her mother pushed her away angrily: "Damn girl, what did you say? Is it too big or small to sound bad?" Only then did I find time to apologize to Ye Shengnan's mother: "Aunt Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Her mother thought about the scene just now and laughed: "When did this kid come back? I didn't do anything else before I came back and hit your Aunt Ye's head. Why is your child's head so hard?" I thought to myself that your old man is not soft-headed, so of course he didn't dare to say that, so he kept saying sorry. Aunt Ye asked, "Is that girl Sheng Nan changing your clothes?" I blushed and nodded.Aunt Ye said loudly, "You are really willing to let her mess up Xin Xin's clothes. She is really brave. You have confessed with your clothes." I came to her house with Ye Shengnan privately, she didn't show any displeasure towards me, my mood immediately relaxed, and I suddenly felt that Aunt Ye was actually quite nice. "Yang Wei, don't listen to my mother belittle me. It's true that my craftsmanship is not as good as hers, but changing the overalls is not enough to put the trouser legs on the shoulders." When Ye Shengnan said this, I believed it. When she was in the countryside, she sewed my clothes for me, and her stitching skills were slightly better than my mother's. "It doesn't matter, change whatever you want, it's just work clothes." I encouraged Ye Shengnan.Her mother shook her head: "You guys make a fuss, I'll boil the water." Seeing the opportunity, I hurriedly took the kettle and said, "I'll go." Aunt Ye didn't refuse, and let me take the kettle to the faucet and put a pot of water on the stove, while she went back to her room and fumbled for something. Ye Shengnan continued to blow the clothes with the hair dryer, poked me with her foot, and said softly, "You're pretty good at it." I said, "I bumped your mother's head in the bag as soon as we met, and said that I will make trouble. When your father comes back, I will bump your father's head in the bag again, and it will make things even more troublesome." Ye Shengnan took out a hand and twisted my arm hard: "You are talking nonsense." She was in pain, and her mother was in the room. I didn't dare to make a sound, and endured her torture silently, but my heart was sweet. Ye Shengnan's level is really limited. She compared me and measured her. She said that my left arm was longer and my right leg was longer. She changed my precious overalls with one cut on the left and the other on the right. After changing it, I stepped on the sewing machine and worked hard for a long time, and finally I was done. I felt that it fit me better than before. She looked back and forth, left and right, and suddenly burst out laughing. , I asked her: "What's the matter? You can't be so complacent by changing a dress." She panted with a smile and said, "Forget it, let's just make do with it. I still have work clothes. I'll change another one for you tomorrow." I sat for a while longer and chatted with her about ribs, battered bread, braised pork, Xi Xiaojuan, Wu Mengna, and Meng Wenli. I knew that they had all been withdrawn to work in different units. It was broken, mainly because Meng Wenli didn't like him, and after going to work, she fell in love with her master.On the contrary, Paste Bread and Wu Mengna are in love successfully. I heard that the two families have already drank the engagement wine.I told Ye Shengnan about my situation in my hometown again, and I forgot the time while talking. The tweeter on the street played "Dongfanghong", and we realized that it was time to get off work, so I hurriedly got up and said goodbye.Ye Shengnan didn't leave me either, I wanted to say goodbye to Aunt Ye whose head was touched by me, Ye Shengnan said: "Don't say hello to my mother, her heart has been bad all the time, she may have rested, you just go, she won't pick Reasonable." When I went downstairs to go home, my little sister was helping my mother choose vegetables. When she looked up and saw me, she was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly dropped the vegetables in her hand and laughed.The little girl smiled and asked me: "Brother, who broke your clothes?" My mother also noticed my clothes, and said dumbfoundingly: "You went out all afternoon, why did your clothes look like this? Who made it?" I said casually, "It was changed by my classmate's mother." "Male classmate or female classmate?" My little sister and my mother asked in unison. I changed the subject and asked them, "What's wrong with my clothes? I think it's quite appropriate." My mother said, "Go and look in the mirror yourself." There is no mirror in my house that can reflect the whole body. I went to the mirror above the washbasin and took a look. I only saw my face and neck. It is quite normal, and no problem has been found, so it is impossible to judge what is wrong with the overall situation. My dad and Er Chuxi came back one after another. They all looked at my clothes in amazement, and then laughed. I annoyed them, so I took off my clothes and threw them in front of Er Chuxi: "Did you all make a mistake? Why don't you just change it?" Did you wear a dress, is it that ridiculous?" My mother asked: "Who changed this clothes for you?" I continued to lie: "It was changed by our classmate's mother." My mother said: "Your classmate's mother is really a two hundred and five. Is this what your classmate usually wears?" We didn’t have the habit of going to the store to buy clothes in those years. We bought fabrics and made them at home, just like in my house, my mother made ordinary clothes, and only the more exquisite or high-quality materials were sent to the tailor shop for making.So at that time, sewing machines were very popular, and you had to issue a sewing ticket to buy them. Most people had to prepare a sewing machine to live at home.At that time, families paid attention to "three turns and one click". Three turns refer to bicycles, sewing machines, and clocks, and one click refers to watches. This is enough to explain the popularity and importance of sewing machines in homes of that era.I said that my classmate's mother changed my clothes. If there is a problem with the modification, it means that the classmate's mother is really worth two hundred and five, and the clothes can't be changed from big to small, let alone made clothes.At that time, there was a saying that a man walked outside with a woman's hands, because the clothes worn by men did not fit well and were not clean, you could tell whether the hostess of her house was skillful or not, and her level was not high. Seeing me complaining about my second career, my mother said, "Don't worry, it's not my second child's fault. Second generation, put on your clothes and let your brother have a look." The second season is the best time to pretend to be good, and immediately put on the clothes according to my mother's instructions, and turned left and right for me to admire.The length, width, and width of the second phase are basically the same as mine, and our clothes can already be used in common.I couldn't help but gasp when I saw it. Ye Shengnan really dared to do it. After her modification, the first overalls I ever got did become smaller, but the thickness of the two arms was different. It looks very suitable, but the back can only reach the back waist, and it is still upturned. When you wear it, you will become a super big grasshopper.The trousers are less of a problem, but the trousers of the left leg cover the instep, and the socks are exposed under the trousers of the right leg. The younger sister said: "Brother, your clothes have been changed to a good level, and I can't change them like this." I thought of Ye Shengnan's serious and confident way of changing my clothes, and remembered her mother's warning in advance, so I could only smile wryly. Not only was I not angry, but I thought she was too cute, a bit like playing house when I was a child. My mother asked me: "Who changed it for you? If the tailor shop changed it, he will have to pay for it." At this moment, my dad interjected: "Foreigners pay attention to tuxedos. They wear their trousers as a tuxedo by attaching them to the waist of the jacket." My mother said regretfully: "Hey, I made a good suit of clothes and made it like this after going out for a long time. I will go out tomorrow to see what you are wearing." I was afraid that she would continue to track down the culprit who damaged my clothes, so I quickly said: "It's okay, I just wear it, and there's nothing wrong with it." My mother said: "Fart! It's a trivial matter whether you wear clothes or not. Others think your mother made you look like this. It's not only you who are laughing, but also your mother and me." The little girl said: "Brother, I have a good idea. I will make a sign in a while, and it will say 'this suit was not made by my mother'. When you hang it around your neck when you go out, it will not affect our mother's reputation." gone." My dad immediately agreed: "Yes, that's a good idea." 我妈对小妹说：“你再加上一句：'也不是我爸做的。'” 第二天我要去落户口、领招工表、体检，办许多必须办的事情，出得门来，叶笙楠又在楼道里等我，见我这身打扮捂了肚子笑得直不起腰来。 我说：“你也真行，把我好好一身工作服给毁了。” 叶笙楠说：“旧的不去新的不来，坏的不去好的不来。走，今天我陪你跑事去。” 我问：“你不上班了？” 她说：“我调休了。” 于是我们俩就骑了自行车东跑西颠了一天。过了两天她又给我送了一套夹克服，是呢子的，藏蓝色。我不敢要，这太高级了。她说这是她用她的工作服改的，我难以置信工作服怎么会是呢子的，她说她的工作岗位接触酸性液体，夏天发绸子工作服，冬天发呢子工作服，绸子工作服每年一套，呢子工作服两年一套。正式上班了以后我才知道，搞湿法冶炼、产品检验等等工作的人穿的果真都是呢子跟绸子工作服。
