Chapter 21: A Guide to the Scholar of the Seventies
As soon as work was over in the afternoon, Fu Shu ran to the fields to find Qian Jing: "Sister-in-law Yang."
Qian Jing looked up and saw her, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Erya, my aunt was still talking about you two days ago. I thought I would go see you if I have nothing to do in the next two days. It's hot and Erbao is busy, so I won't
Make time.”
Erbao is Qian Jing's second son. He is born like her, chubby, round and very cute.
"It would be better if the child is noisy. He is in good health." Fu Shu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I really need your help with something..."
"You're welcome, just tell me if you have something to say!" Apparently Qian Jing is also a straightforward person.
"My mother asked me to make a dress for my eldest sister. I'm young and can't sew well, so I want to ask you to lend me a sewing machine." After that, she promised: "Don't worry, the loan won't be in vain. I'll give you two per day."
Use dried sweet potatoes as rent.”
Qian Jing wiped her hair and laughed: "Hey, I didn't think it was a big deal! I told dad that I can use you to come to my house anytime."
Although it belongs to her, when you marry into the Yang family, you have to tell the head of the family what you use. Qian Jing is cheerful and cheerful, but she is also good at doing things.
"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law." Fu Shu was happy in his heart, and his face was also filled with joy. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes were smiling crookedly, which was particularly endearing.
"But we have to agree first. If you bring something, I won't lend it to you. As a sister-in-law, there is no reason for me to ask for your things!" Qian Jing pretended to be serious and glared until she saw Pay.
Shu nodded in agreement, shook the dust off his body, got up and walked home.
Fu Shu was moved and accepted Sister Yang's kindness, thinking that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely help if he could.
There was no need to avoid anything when going to Yang's house. Any news in the village would easily spread, not to mention Fu Shu borrowing a sewing machine with such great fanfare.
Now, except for Sister-in-law Yang, the rest of the Yang family is composed of men.
When Fu Shu made clothes, he would spend two or three hours after work. With Mrs. Yang accompanying him, no one would gossip.
"Oh, Erya, your clothes are so beautiful. A scholar's brain is very useful, and he came up with such a beautiful style." Qian Jing went outside to wash her hands first, then went inside to pick up the parts she had made.
To praise.
Fu Shu has been working on the sewing machine here for three days. The basic pattern of the clothes is ready. There are only some small details on the sleeves that have not been sewn. It is estimated that it can be completed in another day or two.
What she made was a shirt that was spliced up and down. The upper part was gray and the lower part was blue. The waist was slightly narrowed at the intersection of gray and blue. The blue part was pleated on both sides, making it look both neat and slim.
It’s no wonder Qian Jing was amazed. In the countryside, no one wears clothes that tighten around the waist. They are afraid of tearing them while working.
So she likes it, she likes it, and she won't agree if she is asked to do it too.
Qian Jing folded the clothes and put them away, and looked out the window: "Ah, it's getting dark! Erya, let your second brother take you back, your home is far away."
Fu Shu also took a look. She had rushed out of work today and had a conversation with Qian Jing. It was dark outside now. The Yang family didn't care much about the oil. They lit the lamp as soon as it got dark, leaving her with nothing for a while.
aware.
When Yang Zhao heard his sister-in-law's words, his eyes lit up and he looked at Fu Shu.
"No need, I dare to leave by myself." Fu Shu felt a little hot when he saw him. After thinking for a while, he decided to refuse.
It is not a wise move to spread gossip at this time. Besides, she has some self-defense skills, so she can handle ordinary dangers.
"How can I let you, a grown-up girl, go back by yourself? If people know about it, why don't they stab her in the spine!" As if he understood her concerns, Qian
Jing said with great force: "Don't worry, no one dares to gossip!"
Fu Shu felt warm in his heart, smiled and agreed, and walked home accompanied by Yang Zhao.
There were not many people lighting lamps along the way, so both of them moved forward based on their intuition. However, Yang Zhao walked steadily, while Fu Shu stumbled here and there, which was extremely embarrassing.
Yang Zhao seemed to notice her embarrassment and said softly: "You are very powerful."
"Huh?" Fu Shu didn't understand why he suddenly said this.
"The clothes are very nice." Fortunately, it was dark now and Fu Shu couldn't see his red ears, so he could still pretend to be calm and talk to her.
"Thank you, you are also very good." Fu Shu said with a smile, "You know so many questions."
"Yeah." Yang Zhao touched his ears. After Fu Shu finished his compliments, he felt that they were almost hot to the touch.
He mustered up the courage to say what he had always wanted to say: "You can ask me directly in the future."
"Ah?" Fu Shu opened his eyes and was a little surprised. Letting a girl go directly to him with questions should be regarded as a confession in this era, right?
But she didn't think too much about it. After all, the two of them didn't have much contact, and they didn't have a romantic relationship; and in her opinion, Yang Zhao was by no means a frivolous person.
She just thought it was quite funny that this person stayed in such a state.
Yang Zhao waited for a long time and didn't hear Fu Shu's reply. He couldn't help but panic, thinking that she was scared by his Meng Lang. But he didn't want to appear too anxious, so he could only pretend to be calm and said: "Sister-in-law said no.
Someone is gossiping."
It's really boring.
Fu Shu snickered and agreed, "Well, if there is any problem in the future, my eldest brother and I will go find you together."
Yang Zhao didn't understand why Fu Wenming was everywhere. For the first time, he felt a little dissatisfied with his friend, but he also knew not to act too hastily, so he responded dully and stopped talking.
After arriving at Fu's house, Xiong Guizhi expressed his gratitude to Yang Zhao for sending his daughter back and wanted to stuff him with two handfuls of dried sweet potatoes.
Yang Zhao knew that the Fu family was not rich, so he sincerely refused, and before leaving, he glanced at Fu Shu reluctantly.
At that time, she was thinking about making money and didn't notice it.
She didn't notice it, but Xiong Guizhi did, and she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart: It turned out that her daughter did not have a Xuecheng, so many of them were as she liked!
I also thought to myself that I should observe carefully and don't find someone like the Xue family who is so cruel and ruthless.
…………
Fu Shu calculated that he still had enough time, so he did not rush to work in the next two days. He packed up and got ready to go home as soon as it got dark.
Yang Zhao even insisted on sending her home every day. On the way, he would always ask her if she had any math problems that she didn't know.
Fu Shu had been thinking about making money these days, and he really didn't remember to read a book. He had to bite the bullet and tell him that he hadn't read much recently.
Yang Zhao frowned in disapproval and said to her seriously: "The most important thing in learning is persistence."
Fu Shu vaguely felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he did it for her own good, so he admitted his mistake with a good attitude and said that he would soon catch up with the progress, which received an appreciative look from Yang Zhao.
With her efforts, the first shirt was completed on the night of the 13th, and she planned to take it to the county to sell it tomorrow. If it couldn't be sold tomorrow, at least it could be sold for another day on the 15th.
The reality was indeed not that beautiful. Fu Shu sat at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative all morning, but no one looked like he could buy her shirt.
Fortunately, she had anticipated this situation. She took out half a piece of coarse grain cake from the small cloth bag she carried with her, took two bites and put it back. This was her day's food.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, fewer people came to the supply and marketing cooperative, but Fu Shu was not depressed. Most of the guests in the morning came for today's special food, but there were fewer people buying other things. Now people are grabbing food
The peak period has passed, and those who come here are in the mood to hang out, which is actually her main clientele.
Sure enough, at nearly 4:30, a young woman wearing Bragi leather shoes and a military green shirt walked over from a distance.
Fu Shu fell in love with her at first sight, firstly because she looked rich, and secondly because she must be a girl with good taste. In this era, she dressed up in a short coat and skirt, which was definitely ahead of the times.
the frontier of.
