In the afternoon, Chen Suozhu came for a stroll again and saw Li Zhengguo doing carpentry work outside the courtyard. He wanted to help, but was refused.
Chen Suozhu was a little flustered. Did Brother Li dislike him?
Li Zhengguo glanced at him and said, "I am making something for my wife and mother. You are not suitable to help."
"Oh." Chen Suozhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, do you need my help with the plastic vegetable shed?"
"No need for the moment."
When Chen Suozhu lowered his head in frustration, Li Zhengguo added, "At ten o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon, if it's cloudy and rainy, don't come here."
"Okay," Chen Suozhu immediately raised his head, "I will be here on time."
"Do you have a watch?"
"Uh, no, I, I will look at the sun."
"Okay, you go back first."
After Chen Suozhu left, another person came to the Li family.
"Jungkook, what are you doing?"
"Sister-in-law Ma, Sister-in-law Dai, Sister-in-law Lin, I just make some things that are needed at home."
Li Zhengguo put down what he was doing and shouted into the courtyard, "Mom, Sister-in-law Ma and the others are here."
"Let them come in." Mother Li responded loudly, pushing her daughter back to sit on the recliner to knit a sweater.
Li Min "..." Should she be able to move her 'injury'?
Ma Changying said that they could just go in by themselves and asked Li Zhengguo to continue working.
Li Zhengguo walked into the courtyard in a few steps. His Tiantian had never experienced these normal human relationships.
The last time he was frightened by Hong Wei and his wife, he made a decision in his mind that he would personally introduce Tiantian to the people in his family.
When Tian Jing heard Li Zhengguo's voice, she quickly prepared the room, locked the cabinet door, and then left the room.
Li Zhengguo held her hand and introduced her one by one, "You met this Sister-in-law Ma yesterday. This is Sister-in-law Dai, from the eldest brother Yang Jianjun's family, and this is Sister-in-law Lin from Yang Jianxin's family."
"Sister-in-law Dai, Sister-in-law Ma, Sister-in-law Lin, sit down. I'll get you some tea."
"No, no," Ma Changying waved her hand, "We just came to visit and look at the fabrics."
Li Zhengguo let go of Tian Jing's hand, "You watch with the sisters-in-law, and I'll go pour the water."
"Okay, I'll go pour the water," Li's mother took over the work, "Zheng Guo, you go do the work."
Ma Changying refused politely, "We are really not being polite. I just finished eating at home and I am not thirsty. If I were thirsty, I would not be polite to my aunt. From now on, we will all be neighbors. Aunt, I see you are in great health."
ah?"
Speaking of her body, Mother Li had something to say, "No, I can do laundry and cooking. When Tiantian came in from my house, my body got better day by day."
"Auntie is so happy and in good spirits. Aren't we busy building a house to live here and feel happy?"
"Haha, you still know how to speak, what should I say? Same joy, right? Hahahaha."
"Yes, we are all happy together. We are all very happy."
Tian Jing breathed a sigh of relief that her mother-in-law was able to maintain the relationship. She observed Sister-in-law Dai and Sister-in-law Lin, both of whom looked kind-hearted.
Sister-in-law Dai is more calm, and Sister-in-law Lin is more gentle. They will be neighbors from now on, and she doesn't like to meet weird neighbors.
Just like the fourth and fifth families, she had a headache thinking about having to be neighbors with Zhang Fangcao in the future.
Sister-in-law Dai and Sister-in-law Lin also looked at Tian Jing secretly and found that the girl had upright eyes, a friendly smile on her face, and an obvious aura of alienation on her body.
This aura of alienation reassured Sister-in-law Dai and Sister-in-law Lin that this Tian Jing was not a person who wanted to follow people's influence.
After being polite, Ma Changying asked to take a look at the fabric.
Tian Jing led people into the room.
On the top of the cabinet are a piece of dark cotton, a piece of plain cotton, a piece of blue polyester, and half a piece of black cotton with red flowers.
Ma Changying took one look at the blue polyester cloth and asked, "This is it?"
"Polyester khaki cloth, which is three feet six wide, is suitable for making trousers. A pair of trousers requires at least five feet of cloth. The two trouser legs share the middle section, and the crotch is at both ends. The cut cloth ends are relatively large, that is to say
It’s a lot of waste, six cents per foot.”
Sixty cents per foot? Ma Changying's excitement was suppressed by the final price. A pair of pants cost three yuan, and for taller ones, it cost half a foot more.
Sister-in-law Dai, however, looked happy. The supply and marketing cooperative sold polyester khaki cloth for a piece of 21 feet, and she had to pay for it, but she was reluctant to buy it.
Sister-in-law Lin saw her sister-in-law's happy look and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you like this polyester khaki?"
"Yes." Sister-in-law Dai nodded, "Don't you know that every time I go back to my parents' home, I am always despised by my little sister. I know the name Dika from her mouth. She made a pair of pants and they are very tight.
You know, you've boasted to me many times."
Ma Changying looked at her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, "Do you want them both?"
Sister-in-law Lin nodded, "I want it, but I don't know how much Sister Tian can give it to us."
"This is 40 feet. If you want it all, I will give it up."
"Look." Ma Changying clapped her hands, "Let me just say that Miss Tian is a happy person, right? People should not be judged by their appearance."
Sister-in-law Dai and Sister-in-law Lin looked at each other, took Ma Changying aside to discuss for a while, and then each pulled six feet of cotton.
After paying the money, Ma Changying scratched his head, looked at his sister-in-law and his sister-in-law, and then said to Tian Jing, "Sister Tian, please leave this piece of cloth. We will come and move it tonight."
Night? "About what time?"
"Come here as soon as it gets dark."
"Okay, I'll keep them all for you."
After the three sisters-in-law left, Tian Jing locked up the cloth. After the cabinet was completed, she never put these eye-catching things outside.
Mother Li sent the three people back without asking Tian Jing.
Her daughter-in-law can do whatever she wants. Everyone is curious, but she is afraid that her curiosity will be misunderstood by her daughter-in-law.
Tian Jing took the initiative to go to the east room to explain.
Mother Li was a little worried, "Is the quantity of one piece of cloth too big?"
"They will definitely hide it. Whoever gets the advantage and doesn't secretly tell others that what they bought is processed products? If anyone dares to say nonsense, will they have the nerve to come to my place to exchange things in the future?"
What the daughter-in-law said made sense, and Mother Li was relieved, but not long after, Party Secretary Yang and Captain Ou came over.
Mother Li poured sugar water and sat down at her son's signal.
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo looked at each other, really confused as to why these two people came over suddenly.
After taking a sip of sugar water, Party Secretary Yang spoke up, "Sir, you and Zheng Guo are both capable and well-connected. Have you ever thought about opening a sales agency?"
"I haven't thought about it, and I don't want to." Tian Jing refused.
Party Secretary Yang looked at Mother Li, "Brothers and sisters, do you see?"
"Brother Yang, Tiantian is in charge of my family. Ever since she entered my house, our family's life has been getting better day by day. She should be in charge of this family."
Party Secretary Yang really didn't expect that the rumors outside that the head of the Li family at the end of the village was the daughter-in-law of the official country were true.
He changed the focus and said, "As a member of the government, can you tell me the reason?"
"Then why don't you create one in the production team and ask individual members to do this?"
"This..." Party Secretary Yang couldn't open his mouth.
Captain Ou laughed loudly, "Zhishu Yang, I think it won't work, right? Comrade Tian's brain is extraordinary."
Party Secretary Yang glanced sideways at Captain Ou, "I know how to make sarcastic remarks. Don't I think it's too difficult for members to buy something?"
Tian Jing rolled her eyes secretly. It's difficult to be a member, so why should she be used as a cash cow? Does she look like a fool?
Captain Ou shook his head, "It's difficult to save money. Your family spent a lot this time."
When it comes to the prodigality of his three daughters-in-law, Party Secretary Yang is helpless.
"Since the main country does not agree, forget it. However, the members definitely want to exchange fabrics from you for free. Once or twice, it will be fine. If it happens more often, problems may arise. You..."
"Then don't replace it with anyone. I use it for my own family, and it belongs to my fellow villagers. If I can do a favor and help out, then there is no need to get into trouble."
