Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

After lunch, she didn't bother to clean up. Grandma Wang took Ya'er and Grandpa Li who wanted to take a rest. She took the piece of fabric and went out. She had to seize the time to make clothes for Ya'er. It was best to go out.

Ya'er can make it before she goes home.

Grandma Wang took the two of them, who were familiar with each other, to wander through the alleys, and walked for more than ten minutes before stopping. Ya'er looked up and saw two small houses on the roadside, with the words "tailor shop" hanging on the door.

The words. This tailor shop is not a specialized store, but a shop in one, with a living area behind it. In the shop, there is a table, a pair of black scissors, a bronze wooden ruler, a piece of chalk, and a sewing machine.

None, it's just that simple, absolutely handmade. Ya'er thought to herself that this was the first time she wore handmade clothes, and in the future this would only be enjoyed by the top rich.

There are not many clothes made in the store, and it seems that the business is not very good. In fact, it is easy to explain. Nowadays, materials are in short supply. There is only a quota of a few feet of cloth per head per year, so the people are basically "in the new year.

"Three years of old clothes, and another three years of sewing and mending." After the eldest brother has finished wearing it, the second one has worn it, and it is rare to make new clothes.

The tailor in the shop is a thin old man in his 50s wearing reading glasses. When he saw the three people coming in, he raised his eyes and looked at it. While continuing with his work, he said, "Do it yourself, and you will have enough food and clothing - who of you can do it?"

clothing".

Hearing what the old tailor said, the three of them were stunned. Grandma Wang responded quickly, "Don't forget the class struggle - make a coat for your child." She handed the woolen fabric to the old tailor.[

"Serving the people - what style are you going to make?" the old tailor took the cloth and looked at Ya'er.

"We all come from all over the world and come together for a common goal - to make long coats."

"Against liberalism—I know, I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow." The old tailor agreed directly without measuring Ya'er's height or anything.

"We have to be responsible to the people - thank you, we will pick it up on time the day after tomorrow."

The back-and-forth conversation between Grandma Wang and the old tailor shocked Ya'er so much that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. When Grandpa Li and Grandma Wang walked out of the tailor shop holding one little hand, the slightly chilly autumn wind blew.

Ya'er came back to her senses. What was going on? Why do you have to talk about the president's quotations first? It was rare for the old couple to see Ya'er's dizzy little eyes, and they were happy. When they saw that there was no one around, they

I explained to Ya'er in a low voice that it turned out that it was when the revolution was at its most intense in the past two years. When you go out to do business and speak, the first sentence must be Chairman Mao's quotation. This year, the situation has improved a bit. I guess the old tailor is still the same as in the previous two years.

Same thing, the first thing you say is a quotation. When Ya'er thought about it, the first thing he said was a quotation. If he hadn't studied the Chairman's quotations carefully, he really wouldn't be able to speak.

"Does that old tailor know the size without measuring?" Ya'er thought about the old tailor and looked at it twice without even making any gestures.

"This old tailor's craftsmanship is very good. He took a quick look and saw that the size is absolutely correct and the quality is absolutely good. Just wait for Ya'er to wear beautiful new clothes." Grandma Wang was very convinced of the old tailor's craftsmanship.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so the three of them planned to go to the only small park in the county. Although it was late autumn and there was not much scenery, it was also good to take a walk to refresh. The three of them wandered to the park, but they did not expect that the people inside were not there yet.

Few. However, what is more depressing is that here a group of people are singing "The East is Red" and there are a group of people singing "The Sea Sails Depends on the Helmsman". Wherever the three of them go, they have to sing along with a few lines. It is really useless.

Take a walk.

After the song was over, the three of them hurried back home. Passing by the small square of the County Revolutionary Committee, another criticism meeting was being held there. The three of them held another criticism meeting outside. After the criticism was over, the three of them competed.

I returned home depressed, and there was indeed struggle everywhere.

When they got home, the old couple felt very uncomfortable. They originally wanted to take their precious granddaughter for a walk and have the fun of being grandparents, but in the end they had no place to go. Seeing the disappointed expressions on the old couple's faces, Ya'er

He said, "Grandpa and grandma, tell Ya'er a story. Ya'er also wants to know what happened to her grandparents in the past."

"Okay, since little Ya'er wants to hear it, grandpa will tell you something." Grandpa Li became interested when he heard it. "When grandpa and grandma were born, the Qing Dynasty was still there. At that time, grandpa's family was a famous local traditional Chinese medicine family.

, and your Grandma Wang’s family is also a local scholarly family, and they are all famous local families. After the founding of the Republic of China, my grandparents were also influenced by the new trend of thought and went to study together in the UK." Grandpa Li recalled carefully, Grandma Wang

Add some more from time to time.

As Grandpa Li narrated, the three of them seemed to have returned to the war-torn years, with war, displacement, and hunger. The memories were full of tears and blood, full of excitement and tragedy, and full of memories of their families.

"Xiao Ya'er, the vigorous turmoil outside now will end sooner or later. So, don't be afraid, it will definitely get better in the future, you know." Grandpa Li saw that Ya'er was listening seriously, and was afraid that these things would scare her.

When he saw her, he never forgot to comfort her.

"Well, it will definitely get better in the future." Ya'er nodded her little head, admiring the vision and opinions of the two old people very much. They are not pedantic, full of hope for the future, and know how to endure and wait. However, these opinions are the result of their various experiences.

Gained through hardships, Ya'er would rather trade peace and joy for this kind of wisdom in life.

At this time, two people got excited about talking, and the three people who were fascinated by listening realized that the sky had turned dark, and they had been talking for two or three hours without realizing it. Gululu, Ya'er's belly protested, and Ya'er was just talking.

Shyly covering her face and refusing to raise her head, Ya'er heard another rumbling stomach growl. Well, this time it wasn't her own stomach growling again. Ya'er raised her head and found that Grandpa Li was also blushing, which was rare.

The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time. Let's cook quickly.

Before cooking, Grandma Wang did not forget to stuff a piece of toffee into Ya'er's mouth, for fear of starving her. Seeing that the two old people were reluctant to eat it, Ya'er picked up two of the candy wrappers and stuffed them into their mouths.

, this candy is sweet to the hearts of the two old people. However, it is better not to eat candy. As soon as Ya'er eats candy, the protest from Ya'er's stomach becomes louder. Ya'er rubs his stomach with a bitter face, which makes Grandpa Li loudly

Laugh. As a result, Grandpa Li was extremely happy and sad, and his own stomach grumbled loudly in protest again, causing Grandma Wang and Ya'er to laugh at the same time, and the three of them laughed together for a while.

For dinner, Ya'er ate a large pancake and drank a large bowl of rice porridge along with the tender and salty braised fish, which comforted her protesting stomach.

The next day, the grandfather and grandson did not go out, so they told Ya'er stories. Both of them were knowledgeable and experienced people, and the stories they told were so lifelike, and they were told with great enthusiasm, and the three of them were fascinated.

It's quite satisfying.

After breakfast on the third morning, Grandpa Li had to go to work. Looking at Grandpa Li who turned back three times, Grandma Wang and Ya'er both laughed and laughed, "Grandpa, go to work quickly. Ya'er will follow Grandma at noon.

I'm going to deliver food to you." Seeing Ya'er say this, Grandpa Li left happily. Ya'er was going to deliver food to him at noon. Usually, he and Lao Zhang took turns to go home for dinner. Yesterday

Lao Zhang helped him with the whole day's work. Today, he was the only one in the purchasing department, so his good granddaughter thought of delivering food to him.[

After Grandpa Li went to work, the two of them had nothing to do. Grandma Wang took out the clothes from the previous two days to wash. Ya'er also jumped up and down with a rag to wipe the table and sweep the floor. From time to time, you would say something to me.

The two of them, one old and one young, talked very congenially, so the time passed very quickly.

At noon, Grandma Wang chopped half of the cured pheasant brought by Father Du and cooked it in a pot full of potatoes. After the two of them ate hastily at home, they used aluminum lunch boxes to serve the rest of the dishes.

, wrapped three or four pancakes in a clean basket cloth, and filled a pot of boiling water with a green army kettle. This was Grandpa Li's lunch.

When the two arrived at the purchasing department, there was no one selling anything, and Grandpa Li was waiting eagerly. As soon as Grandma Wang put the basket with lunch on the counter, Grandpa Li couldn't wait to open it and start eating.

The aroma of the meat attracted a young man from the local product purchasing department next door, "Uncle Li, what are you having for lunch? Why is it so delicious?"

"Hey, my relatives gave me a pheasant two days ago, and I cooked it for lunch today. Why don't you come with a piece of it?" Grandpa Li joked as if he was familiar with the visitor.

The young man was really polite. He took Grandpa Li's chopsticks and picked out the largest piece of chicken, put it in his mouth and ate it. He exclaimed, "It's so fragrant. This pheasant chicken is so delicious. I haven't eaten meat in a long time."

Although I wanted to try another piece, I saw that there wasn't much meat inside, so I felt embarrassed to eat it again.

The two of them waited for Grandpa Li to finish eating and did not dare to stay here any longer. They packed up and went out without going home. They stopped by the tailor shop to pick up clothes first. When the old tailor saw his grandfather and grandson coming in, he said, "Serve the people--

You are here, the clothes are ready, I will get them for you right now.”

Grandma Wang took the clothes and inspected them carefully. The stitches were even and fine, and she was very satisfied. "Care about people's lives - Master, thank you, how much is the total."

"Promote frugality and oppose waste - a total of one dollar and two cents."

Grandma Wang couldn't answer at this moment, so she ordered one dollar and two cents and handed it over, "Thank you, master," and then pulled Ya'er and hurried out of the tailor shop. Ya'er wanted to laugh when she saw it.

"Grandma just didn't know what quotation to use, so she had to come out quickly. In the past two years, grandma was scared when she went out to buy things. She had to tell quotations wherever she went. It has only gotten better in the past two years." Grandma Wang also said

I couldn't laugh or cry, "When I get home, Ya'er will wear it for my grandparents to see. Little Ya'er looks so pretty, she will definitely look good in it."

Ya'er suddenly remembered last night that her cousins ​​were going back to her home during the Chinese New Year, and they wouldn't be able to come to the village to go to school next year, so she thought about buying two dictionaries for them. She happened to have nothing to do this afternoon, "Grandma,

Let’s go to the store later, Ya’er wants to buy a dictionary for her cousin and the others.”

Ya'er demanded, and there was no way that Grandma Wang should not respond. When they arrived at the store, Ya'er took Grandma Wang's hand and went directly to the book counter on the second floor. She didn't dare to let Grandma Wang buy anything for her anymore.

I spent 6 yuan and 40 cents to buy four student dictionaries with military green plastic cover, one for myself, one for my two cousins, and one for each of my four cousins. Ya'er insisted on paying the money herself. "Grandma

"Daddy has given money to Ya'er, Ya'er has to pay for it herself." Ya'er quickly grabbed Grandma Wang who was about to pay. How could she ask Grandma Wang to pay when she was buying something for her cousin.

After leaving the store, she looked a little sad at Grandma Wang who couldn't pay. Ya'er thought about it and knew why, "Grandma, Ya'er bought this for her cousins, so she can't ask grandma to pay. If Ya'er

If you want something, you must ask grandma to pay for it. Didn't grandma buy Ya'er clothes and a lot of delicious food?"

When Wang Yazhi heard this, she also understood what Ya'er was doing. She felt comfortable knowing that Ya'er was not being polite to her. When the grandma and grandson returned home, Grandma Wang couldn't wait to let Ya'er try on new clothes. Ya'er didn't want to change at first.

We were changing back and forth, but seeing that Grandma Wang was in high spirits, she had no choice but to kiss her. She took off the little cotton-padded jacket made by Grandma Du on the outside, leaving only a layer of jacket inside, and then put on the one she had just brought back.

After putting on the coat, Ya'er even walked a few cat steps like a model in a funny way, "Grandma, does Ya'er look good in this dress?"

"Well, the clothes are good-looking, but they are still not as good-looking as our little Ya'er," Grandma Wang replied with a smile. The clothes are indeed very good, the size is just right for fat and thin, the hem reaches to the knees, and it is a little loose, and thicker clothes can be worn underneath.

If you can put it in, you can probably wear it for two more years. However, look at the little Ya'er wearing a bright red windbreaker, her oval face as white and tender as jade, her almond eyes as bright as stars in the dark night, her straight nose bridge, and her rosy mouth. She looks so beautiful.

Moreover, there is an indescribable aura all over the body. It is cute and cute, and the aura is compelling, just like an elf who has landed in the mortal world. Although he is still as round as a child now, it can be predicted that when he grows up, he will be a king and a king, with countless manners.

, I just don’t know which brat I got the better of. Grandma Wang’s thoughts spread quickly, and now she is thinking of her future grandson-in-law.

"Our little Ya'er is so beautiful, how about she wear it for grandpa to see when he comes back?" It took Grandma Wang a long time to recover her thoughts that she didn't know where she had gone. At night, Ya'er had to act as a model again and wear the clothes for Li.

Grandpa read it again, and Grandpa Li also had the same worries as Grandma Wang. The future grandson-in-law must find someone who treats Ya'er well.
