Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine

In the afternoon, Lin Wei went to Liu Dan, Yang Yi and Zhao Li respectively, told them that Deng Xiangyun was willing to teach them how to make hats, and asked them if they wanted to learn.

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard it, and they all readily agreed.

Yang Yi asked, "Are we going to learn from Comrade Deng now?"

Zhao Li was well informed and said, "Did Xiao Deng's family have a guest? Does she have time today?"

Liu Dan also asked: "Do we have to prepare fabrics and needles first?"

Lin Wei replied: "Sister Deng thinks so, if you want to learn, you can go to her place to see the style first, after you decide what kind of hat you want, then prepare the materials, anyway, after the old shígG dujia noodles If you encounter difficulties while doing it, you can also take the time to ask her."

After listening to the three, they all felt that this idea was a good idea: "Then let's go there now?"

Lin Wei said, "Let's go now, see and make an appointment early."

Although Deng Xiangyun said that they would be taught for free, the three of them were embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed, detoured to the supply and marketing agency, and gathered some fruit to carry.

The fruit on the island is not expensive, and it is also decent to carry to the door. It is the best choice for gifts.

Before Lin Wei went to see Liu Dan and the others, she told Deng Xiangyun about it, so seeing the four of them coming together, Deng Xiangyun was not surprised. What made her stunned was that they didn't come empty-handed.

But Deng Xiangyun didn't stay stunned for too long, and when he greeted people to go in, he said, "You guys just need to come, what to bring."

Of the three, Liu Dan was familiar with Deng Xiangyun. She smiled and said, "We bought it on the way when we came over, and we didn't weigh much."

Zhao Li almost didn't burst out laughing when she heard the words, thinking that we are going to form an equilateral triangle from your home to the supply and marketing cooperative and then to Deng's home. Which way is this smooth?

But Zhao Li didn't open her mouth to dismantle the stage, she just joked: "In the past, people not only had to kowtow and pour tea, but also prepare clothes and shoes for clothes. We dare not compare with the predecessors, but since we are learning something, of course we can't do it empty-handed. "

Liu Dan smiled and said, "That's right, you are our master of one hat."

Deng Xiangyun, who was pouring tea for the four of them, shook his hand and said quickly, "I don't dare, we can only communicate with each other, I'm not a teacher."

"Okay, don't be poor, Sister Deng is thin-skinned, and she won't know how to teach her any more." Lin Wei said, took a sip of tea, looked around and asked, "The eighth sister is not at home. ?"

Deng Xiangyun explained: "Little Stone and the others said they were going to play on the beach. I was worried, so I asked the eighth sister to follow me."

"The eighth sister is the new girl from your family?" Zhao Li asked curiously, "Why did she come here alone?"

"Yes, she is the cousin of Aunt A Hai's house. Because she is ranked eighth, she is called Chen Bamei." After Deng Xiangyun introduced, he sighed and said, "This child has a hard life!" The door family told me.

But Deng Xiangyun didn't say everything according to the actual situation. He only said that Chen Bamei's parents didn't inquire clearly, and only when the marriage was decided did they know that the man was not good. Domestic violence forced his ex-wife to death.

Although Chen Bamei's parents are a bit patriarchal and greedy for the bride price, they still feel sorry for their daughter, so after inquiring clearly, they want to quit the family with the family. It's just that the parents of that family are both cadres and they are very powerful. They were afraid that the marriage did not turn out and would kill their daughter. They thought that the family would not dare to come to the army to make trouble, so they asked the brigade to open a letter of introduction and sent Chen Bamei to the Zhou family.

Deng Xiangyun said this, not to excuse Chen Bamei's parents, but thinking that if Chen Bamei's parents are really black, and they want to sue them for abducting Chen Bamei, they can also occupy the high ground of public opinion.

After all, you brought your daughter here on the front foot and begged us to take her in, but the back foot came to say that we kidnapped her. This is... a bit of revenge.

As for whether Chen Bamei's parents will admit this matter, Deng Xiangyun is not very worried, you must know that Chen Bamei has a letter of introduction in her hand.

The brigade of the Chen family dared to open a letter of introduction to an unmarried girl and let her go to her relatives, saying that no parents nodded, who would believe it!

When he really got into trouble, he asked the brigade headquarters of the Chen family's brigade. The answer must be that Chen Bamei's parents knew about this and nodded before they opened the letter of introduction.

As for Chen Bamei's parents who have done so many evil things, but have a good reputation for loving their daughters, they should panic in their hearts. Deng Xiangyun also considered this.

She concluded that there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. A bad family is like a quagmire, and the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

Therefore, Deng Xiangyun felt that when encountering such a family, run as fast as you can, don't think about competing for the length of the day, and live your own life well is more important than anything else.

If they say a few words about the quality of Chen Bamei's parents, they can let Chen Bamei go, that's worth it.

And if they don't let Chen Bamei come to the door, the existing good reputation will naturally collapse. On the contrary, after Chen Bamei was sold by her parents, she still wants to make up for them, and everyone will naturally feel more sympathy for her, and they will cut off the relationship at that time. Also easier.

From the current point of view, it is Chen Bamei's parents who have gained a good reputation, but in the long run, it has paved the way for Chen Bamei.

It's worth it.

Moreover, Deng Xiangyun didn't keep saying good things about Chen Bamei's parents, and specifically mentioned that they prioritize sons over daughters and marry daughters because of high money.

Therefore, after everyone heard it, the senses of Chen Bamei's parents were a bit complicated, and they felt that although they made up for it, if they weren't greedy for the bride price, Chen Bamei wouldn't have to leave her hometown to come to Yazhou Island.

As for Chen Bamei, everyone felt that this girl was pitiful.

Several people were chatting, and Chen Bamei came back with the children.

Chen Bamei is not tall, just over 1.5 meters tall. She is not tall in the south, but she is not particularly short. Just because of long-term malnutrition, people look a little thin, not like a seventeen-year-old, but a little girl of fourteen or five.

However, although she was tender-faced, she had been through something after all. She went home and suddenly saw so many strangers and didn't see stage fright. Because she didn't know their names, she only smiled and nodded at everyone.

Zhao Li reacted the fastest and smiled when she saw her: "This is the eighth sister, she looks really energetic!"

Because the children came back from the beach, Deng Xiangyun first asked them to wash their hands in the bathroom, and then introduced them to everyone one by one. Following everyone's introduction, Chen Bamei called people one by one.

Southern dialects have different pronunciations for ten miles. In many places, dialects are completely different from Mandarin. People in the city may be better, and the population is mostly mixed, and Mandarin is often used in life. But country people don't always speak Mandarin in their whole life, and when they do, their pronunciation is a bit jerky.

Chen Bamei is like this. She doesn't have to jump out word by word when she speaks Mandarin, but it's not the standard.

But her eyes are clear and clear, and when she speaks, she looks at everyone without dodging, and she looks very generous.

As the old saying goes, people gather people by like, and Lin Wei has a kind personality, and the friends she makes are basically the same. Although Liu Dan's personalities are different, they are very friendly to others.

They didn't look down on Chen Bamei because she didn't speak Mandarin well, but they admired her demeanor, and they all greeted her with a smile and gave her a seat.

After sitting down, several people did not ask Chen Bamei's past, but smiled and asked her if she was used to it when she came to the island.

After going to the island, it is actually easy to say that Yazhou Island belongs to the Lingnan area. Chen Bamei's hometown can be regarded as across the sea from here, and the climate is similar.

However, although Chen Bamei's hometown is near the sea, her brigade is actually a bit far from the sea, and it is an agricultural brigade. So she had never been on a boat before, and she started to faint after getting on the boat from Yangcheng. When she got off the boat this morning, she saw that the road was sloping, and she recovered after taking a nap at noon.

Everyone present resonated with the seasickness, not to mention Lin Wei, who lay on the boat for two days.

Liu Dan, Yang Yi and Lin Wei are in similar situations. Their hometowns are by the Yangtze River and they have been on a boat before joining the army. But the river is usually calm, and the experience of riding a boat is completely different from the sea, so they are more or less dizzy when they come.

The worst thing is Zhao Li, she is not only seasick, but also motion sick, trains and cars are dizzy. But her hometown is Liao Province, and she can be said to have accompanied the army from the northernmost part of the motherland to the southernmost part of the motherland.

From Liao Province to Yangcheng, it took more than a week to transfer from the car to the train, and she also fainted for almost a week. I thought it would be better after getting on the boat, but I vomited even more.

Because of seasickness and motion sickness, since Zhao Li came to the island with the army, she never went back.

Zhao Li said that unless her man was transferred to leave Yazhou Island, she would stay here for the rest of her life.

After hearing this, Lin Wei smiled and said, "Don't talk too early. If the transportation in the future is faster and more comfortable, and you won't get dizzy while sitting, don't you want to go out and see the outside world?"

"It's faster and more comfortable, so I can't get dizzy. There is such a good means of transportation in this world?" Zhao Li couldn't imagine it.

Lin Wei asked back: "Why not? A hundred years ago, people mainly traveled on two legs, and the better ones were mule carts or horse-drawn carts. Now there are cars, trains, ships, oh, and planes. How can you be sure that after fifty In 2010, we can't get faster and more comfortable transportation?"

"Then we have to take a boat when we leave the island, right?" Zhao Li shook her head after asking, "I'm seasick."

"In case technology develops, it's possible to go out of the island without taking a boat."

Yang Yi asked curiously, "What else can we get out of the island without taking a boat?"

Thinking of the world depicted in the original book decades later, Lin Wei blinked and said, "Maybe one day, we will build a take-off airport here, and we can all go out by plane."

Zhao Li widened her eyes and said, "Flying on a plane? I wouldn't dare to do this in my dreams, but you really dare to think about it!"

Lin Wei didn't argue with Zhao Li, she just said with a smile, "Then let's wait and see if this day will come."

After the greeting, Deng Xiangyun went upstairs and took down the notebook with the pattern drawn.

The notebook Deng Xiangyun took down was not the one she had been using all the time, but an empty notebook that she found after discussing with Lin Wei. She copied six hat patterns on it for everyone to see.

Because it is for teaching use, she draws two more angles for each model, and the details are more refined, so that even people who don't understand design can understand the picture.

Although none of the people present had studied design seriously, they could do a little bit of clothes and shoes, and they could understand simple patterns, so when they saw the picture, they almost understood without Deng Xiangyun talking more.

After I understand it, I can't stop admiring: "You are too good? Have you learned it specifically?"

Deng Xiangyun didn't hide it, and said, "I studied painting for a few years before."

Zhao Li asked, "Why don't you paint?"

As a result, as soon as the old shígG Dujia said this, he was bumped by Liu Dan's elbow. Zhao Li quickly reacted and said, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's alright, it's all over," Deng Xiangyun smiled and asked, "Which one do you want to make? Take a look at Bamei, and I'll make one for you if you like it."

Chen Bamei quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I don't usually wear a hat when I work."

"If you haven't worn it before, it doesn't mean you can't wear it in the future," Deng Xiangyun said. "Choose one and say goodbye to the past."

Chen Bamei is not the kind of squeamish person. After hearing this, she thought about it seriously and asked, "Cousin-in-law, I want to make this hat myself, can I?"

Deng Xiangyun smiled: "Of course."

Although Deng Xiangyun gave six patterns for everyone to choose from, only Liu Dan chose other styles. Yang Yi and Zhao Li chose the beautiful hats that Lin Wei wore before, so they chose the same style.

Chen Bamei originally wanted to follow everyone to choose, but Deng Xiangyun felt that another style was more suitable for a little girl of her age, so she followed the advice and changed it to a separate style.

After the style is set, everyone has to prepare the materials individually.

Although only three kinds of materials are needed to make hats, namely fabric, needle and thread, and fine iron wire, in addition to needle and thread available in various households, which can be purchased by the base supply and marketing cooperatives, the fabric and iron wire must be purchased in the county.

It was already late, and it was definitely too late to go to the county, so as soon as a few people discussed it, they decided on the itinerary for next Sunday.

…

Because Deng Xiangyun deliberately borrowed the mouths of a few people to publicize the reason why Chen Bamei defected, so when everyone went back, they heard the relevant comments without hiding it, and told everyone what they knew.

With more efforts, in less than a day, the entire family area of ​​the base knew what happened to Chen Bamei and felt sympathy for her.

There are those who are sympathetic, and naturally there are those who stand and speak without back pain, and who stand on the moral high ground to accuse Chen Bamei of not escaping from marriage. Gao Xiulian is a typical example.

When she heard Gao Xiulian's rhetoric, Lin Wei was talking to Chen Bamei in the yard.

Chen Bamei is a diligent person. After she moved into Zhou's house, she took the initiative to take care of the laundry, cooking, and taking care of Xiao Shishi.

Chen Bamei was willing to do it, and Deng Xiangyun let her do it. Although she was willing to take in Chen Bamei, she didn't plan to find a Bodhisattva to come back to make offerings. Sheng Mien fights against rice, she is too kind to people, but it is easy to nurture people's minds, so it is better to treat them with a normal heart.

Deng Xiangyun did not let her work in vain, and gave her a salary as a nanny. These days, the babysitters range from ten to fifteen per month. She pays Chen Bamei 15 yuan per month according to the height, and makes her a dress every year. The conditions are very generous.

Of course, Deng Xiangyun also told Chen Bamei that if someone asked, she couldn't say that the money was salary, only pocket money given by her brother and sister-in-law, and she was just a relative who came to borrow it.

After all, Deng Xiangyun must pay special attention to everything.

And Chen Bamei agreed with everything else, but she refused to ask for money. She felt that Deng Xiangyun and his wife were willing to take the risk to take her in. She needed money for this work, so she was too ignorant.

Deng Xiangyun saw that this little girl was very obedient in other aspects, so she was so stubborn that she had no choice but to put the money away and said, "Then I will save this money for you first, and when your affairs are settled next year, once **** for you."

Chen Bamei's boss was unhappy and said, "Even if you give me the money, I will return the money to you."

"Then I'll give you a dowry when you get married!" Deng Xiangyun said with a sullen face after seeing Chen Bamei's mouth, "It's settled, you say I'm going to be angry."

Chen Bamei had no choice but to bow her head, but she couldn't help but mutter, "I've never seen someone like you before, so I'm rushing to give money to people."

Deng Xiangyun: "..." This unlucky child!

…

Although Lin Wei resigned and Chen Bamei took over the job, Xiao Shishi still stayed at her house. And Xiao Shishi didn't come alone, there was a big tail behind him, Chen Bamei.

No way, there are so many children in the family area, but Xiao Shi's good friends are only the Mingming Ruirui brothers.

Mingming Ruirui is the same. Because they are identical twins, they look almost exactly the same. When they first arrived on the island, children would come to them every day.

But not to find them to play with, but to treat them as rare animals, take a look and touch, but not many are willing to take them with them when they play games seriously.

The brothers are still a bit arrogant in their bones, especially Mingming. When he was in Shicheng, he was always the eldest among the children of the same age. Even if he didn't speak to the level of a hundred responses, there were at least a dozen younger brothers behind him.

As a result, after they went to the island, they looked at him and touched him, but when it came to playing games, they disliked his young age and refused to take him with him.

What a shame!

Because his dignity was frustrated, he clearly made up his mind that even if those people came to him in the future, he would not play with them.

Rarity didn't feel that his dignity was frustrated, he just didn't like people looking at him like Chi Chi, and they liked to move around and it was annoying.

In short, no matter what the reason is, at present, the small group of three people between Ming Ruirui and the small stone is still very stable.

So, as soon as Chen Bamei didn't watch it, Xiao Shishi came to Lin Wei's house, and Lin Wei's side was the same.

Because of the children's interaction, Lin Wei and Chen Bamei quickly became familiar with each other.

After getting acquainted with it, Lin Wei felt that Chen Bamei was a really good person. She might not be smart or smooth enough, but her heart was upright enough.

After being abandoned by her parents and forced to leave her hometown to join her relatives, she did not grumble and complain, but quickly ignited her desire for a new life. Of course there is Deng Xiangyun's intentional guidance, but her personality is also very important.

Lin Wei thought that if Chen Bamei could maintain this kind of temperament, she should have a good life in the future.

Just thinking about it, Lin Wei heard Gao Xiulian pointing at Sang and scolding Huai in the yard next door: "There are some people who have learned to be shameless at a young age, and their parents have set a marriage. Now, why did you go earlier if you didn't want to marry you? If you have the guts, don't agree!"

Chen Bamei was only a seventeen-year-old girl in the end, and she couldn't hold back her eyes when she heard Gao Xiulian's words.

The other military wives sitting in the yard next door were also stunned. They didn't expect Gao Xiulian to be so amazing.

You must know that if you live in the family area, everyone will look up and not look down, and they will be somewhat scruples when they speak. Although Chen Bamei is not a military sister-in-law, Zhou Jianhai is her cousin no matter what, not looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face.

And Gao Xiulian saw that Chen Bamei's eyes were red, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she raised her voice and continued: "Since she is engaged, she is a member of that family, no matter what the other party is, she should get married! That is now. Times have changed, otherwise a few decades earlier, those who got married like this and escaped marriage would be caught and drowned with spittle if they were not immersed in a pig cage!"

Lin Wei couldn't bear it anymore, she reached out and patted Chen Bamei's shoulder, who bit her lip tightly because she was afraid she would cry, stood up and said, "There are some people who have eighteen layers of foot wraps stuffed in their heads, I feel that others should be like her to be a torii master!"

Gao Xiulian's face darkened: "Did I tell you? What's the matter with you when I'm chatting with people?"

"How come it's none of my business? Listen to what you said just now, it was soaked in a pig cage and drowned in saliva. If you don't know, you think that our country's laws are just decorations. If you want to kill people, kill people!" Lin Wei said sarcastically. , "It's a shame that you are still a military sister-in-law, so you dare to utter nonsense here without any ideological awareness! I'm afraid you will smear our military sister-in-law group!"

Gao Xiulian was so mad that she didn't bother to pretend any more, she pointed at Chen Bamei and asked, "You're all in a mess with this **** who doesn't want to get married and runs away from marriage before getting married. How dare you say that I smeared the military sister-in-law group?"
