"Daddy, what do you think of me wearing this skirt?"
Gu Xingmin was studying the radio when he heard her reply without replying: "It looks good. My wife looks good in anything she wears."
Liu Yuemin was dissatisfied with his obviously perfunctory attitude and kicked the stool he was sitting on. She turned around and touched the skirt in Zhang Qin's hand. When she found that there was no difference in quality except for the color of their skirts, she grinned happily.
"Mom, your dress is so beautiful. I want to wear it too." Although Gu Hong was young, she knew how to love beauty. She touched the skirt in Zhang Qin's hand curiously and said with her little face raised.
Zhang Qin smiled: "When your fourth uncle gets married, mom will make you a beautiful dress."
"Mom, you are so kind." Gu Hong's little mouth seemed to be covered with honey. She hugged Zhang Qin's thigh and even rubbed her little head on it twice.
Chen Lishu looked at her cute and well-behaved appearance and was very surprised. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her belly. Gu Xingdong worked so hard, but he didn't know if he could get pregnant this time.
It was a long summer day, and it was still bright outside even after dinner. After speaking to Li Xiulan, Chen Lishu got up and went back to the house, took out the things she had brought to her parents' house, and went to Chen's house.
"Sister, are you back?" Chen Liyuan saw her entering the room and stood up happily to greet her.
"When did you come back? Have you eaten? How about I fry the pancakes posted at home?" Wu Chunmei was very happy to see her back, and she stood up as she spoke.
"Mom, you don't have to be busy. I've already eaten. This is what I bought for my family when I went out this time."
Chen Lishu said and put the things beside the kang. When the children heard that there was something good, they all gathered around it.
The things Chen Lishu bought for them were similar to those of the Gu family, only Chen Liyuan had an extra piece of underwear.
Chen Lishu saw that Chen Manyun was not in the house, so she took it out for Chen Liyuan to try on: "I specially chose a smaller size compared to the one your sister Xingping bought. The size should be about the same."
Chen Liyuan looked at the thing in Chen Lishu's hand, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she was too embarrassed to touch it when she took it: "Sister, I'll go to the West Room to try it out."
Although she was shy, she was actually very happy.
During this time, her chest had been swollen and painful, her summer clothes were thin, and she didn't dare to stand up straight because of her growth, and she was too embarrassed to tell Wu Chunmei that she had been hunchbacking recently.
After putting on the underwear that Chen Lishu bought for her, Chen Liyuan felt relaxed and no longer had to worry about being discovered.
"Lishu is back?"
When Chen Lishu was leaving, Chen Manyun came in from the outside with a large nylon bag on his shoulders.
"You came here just in time. I just went to clean up the vegetable field. The Wogua seedlings are old and taking up space. I just happened to clean them up and sprinkle some cabbage seeds. Your husband's family didn't plant Wogua this year. You can take two back.
"
As he spoke, Chen Mandun put the bag on the ground, picked out two from it, and handed the remaining two to Chen Lishu together with the bag.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going back first." Chen Lishu said to the two of them, picked up the bag on the ground and went home.
After catching the train for a day, Chen Lishu simply washed up and went to bed early the next day. Chen Lishu took out the fabric she brought back and started making a small vest.
Because the style is simple, it didn't take long to make one.
She took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. After all, it was intended for adolescent girls. Chen Lishu felt that it was a bit too old-fashioned after all.
After thinking for a while, I got up and went to the cabinet to find a small piece of light-colored floral fabric left over from making clothes. I took the scissors and cut out two rectangles that were larger than my fingernails. Then I used a needle and thread to sew two bows side by side on the chest.
Position, the originally gray vest instantly became a lot brighter.
After doing three or four times in a row, Chen Lishu stopped and spent the afternoon reading at home.
After dinner in the evening, Chen Lishu took the gift for Xu Ning and went to the Educated Youth Compound.
"When did you come back?" Xu Ning happily pulled her into the house when he saw her coming.
"I came back yesterday." Chen Lishu said, taking out the silk scarf and a new piece of underwear she had brought for her: "Look at what I made myself. How do you like it?"
Xu Ning took it and looked at it carefully, and praised with a bit of surprise: "I really admire how many things you have in your head, how many things can you think of?"
Chen Lishu pursed her lips and smiled: "This time I went to a women's products store in Shanghai and saw some for sale, but I didn't think they were as good as mine, so I tried to make them myself."
Xu Ning went to the window and looked out to see if there was no one there. Then she huddled on the bed and secretly opened her clothes, unbuttoned them under her armpits, took off her modified bra wrap, and put on the small vest given by Chen Lishu.
, and suddenly my whole chest felt relaxed.
"The quality of this one is really good. It's stretchy and breathable, and the style is great. The one I made myself is incomparable to this one."
What Xu Ning was embarrassed to say was that although the vest given to her by Chen Lishu only had a thin layer, it would not be visible when she stood up straight. It was perfect for wearing in summer.
Chen Lishu gained a lot of confidence after receiving her approval.
"Xu Ning, I actually have some good news to tell you when I come here this time."
Xu Ning was tying a silk scarf in front of the mirror. When he heard her words, he turned back curiously: "What's the good news?"
"I heard that the higher-ups held a meeting and decided to resume the college entrance examination."
"Really?!" The silk scarf was no longer tied, and Xu Ning grabbed her hand excitedly: "Lishu, is what you said true? Where did you get the news? Is it reliable?"
Although she had never given up studying and hoped to resume the college entrance examination one day, when she heard the news, she thought it could not be true.
"The village is not well-informed. I have heard the news in the provincial capital and county, and many people have already begun to prepare privately. You should also prepare early. The official notification may be issued later."
"Lishu, you are so kind." Xu Ning hugged her after hearing her words.
After talking to Xu Ning for a while, Chen Lishu went home.
When she got home, she showed the underwear she made to Zhang Qin and the others, and then explained the distribution situation, before Chen Lishu went back to her room to read.
After staying at home for another two days, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingping returned to town together.
As Gu Xingping started school, Chen Lishu also began to study hard behind closed doors.
Occasionally, she would write down something she didn't understand and take it to the Ding family to ask Ding Yongfeng and Sun Shuzhen for advice.
Although she started late, she has been working tirelessly in the past two years and has learned almost everything in the middle and high school textbooks.
On this day, after she got the exact news from Ding Yongfeng that a study class had been established in No. 1 Middle School, Chen Lishu thought about her words carefully and then got up and went to Ding's house.
