"It's getting late. Little sister, you have to go to class tomorrow and go back to bed early." Chen Lishu put away her books and said.
"Sister-in-law, don't you use the sewing machine anymore?"
Chen Lishu shook her head: "My parents are going to bed too. If I go over and make noise, it will affect their rest. I'll wait until tomorrow."
The sewing machine was originally placed in Li Xiulan's house because it would be more convenient for everyone in the family to use it. Besides, her house was small, and there would be no room to turn around if the sewing machine was squeezed in.
Gu Xingping thought about it, got up with the book and went back to her room.
The next day, after dinner, Liu Yuemin didn't clean up the table and went straight to the sewing machine and started working again.
Chen Lishu saw it and said nothing, and went to clean up the kitchen with Zhang Qin.
"Sister-in-law, I want my eldest brother to do me a favor and help me move the table out of my room later. I want to put the sewing machine in the free space."
Zhang Qin understood the key as soon as he thought about it: "Okay, I'll go talk to your elder brother later."
After cleaning up the kitchen, Chen Lishu returned to the house and put the books on the table into the chest of drawers. Gu Xingguo happened to come over and moved the table out.
"Second sister-in-law, when will you use it? My eldest brother happens to be free. I want him to move the sewing machine into my house."
When Liu Yuemin heard that she was going to use the sewing machine, she immediately exploded.
"Third brother and sister, what do you mean? This sewing machine is perfectly placed here, why do you want to move it?"
Chen Lishu explained patiently: "I have to do some work at night for fear that the sound will affect my parents' rest."
"What should I use if you carry it to your house to do work at night? Besides, why should I carry a sewing machine to your house if it is used by everyone?"
I have never seen someone so shameless in making trouble. Chen Lishu sneered: "I bought the sewing machine. It's not normal to move it into my house."
Liu Yuemin didn't answer her words and just asked: "What should I use to move into your house?"
"What you use is none of my business. If you like it, you can buy one."
"I have no money and I don't have a ticket." Liu Yuemin sat there motionless, making it clear that she wanted to let him go.
"Second sister-in-law, I advise you to get out of the way. Because if a sewing machine makes a fuss, it will make everyone's faces look bad."
"I won't let you see what you can do to me?" Liu Yuemin tilted her neck with an angry look on her face.
"Second brother and sister, you'd better get up. The sewing machine was bought by the third brother and sister. It's normal that she wants to move it into her own house." Zhang Qin didn't want the matter to go too far, so she advised from the side.
"What a great purchase she made? I want to use it now, so I won't let her move it."
Chen Lishu didn't bother to look at her face, so she stepped forward, picked up the flower headband and the rags she made, held them in her arms, and walked out.
"Chen Lishu, what are you doing? Who told you to touch my things!" Liu Yuemin stood up in a hurry and chased after me.
"What's going on?" Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu came in from outside and asked when they saw something was wrong.
"Mom, hurry up and stop the third younger brother and sister." Zhang Qin anxiously said a few words about the matter, and quickly walked two steps to follow her.
Chen Lishu had already arrived at the door of the kitchen with a pile of things in her arms, and was about to fill it in without saying a word.
"Chen Lishu, if you dare to fill me in today, I will never finish it with you." Liu Yuemin was so frightened that her voice broke: "If it's just a broken sewing machine, I'll give it back to you."
When Chen Lishu heard what she said, she immediately loosened her hands and threw all the things in her arms on the ground. Liu Yuemin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she didn't throw them into the kitchen door.
"You are too young to play rogue with me. In the future, remember better and let me let you go twice. Not everyone is your mother who lets you go time and time again."
Chen Lishu said nothing and went straight back to the house.
"You, you, you, it's really..." Li Xiulan, who understood what happened, looked at her daughter-in-law and didn't know what to say.
However, Li Xiulan didn't sympathize with her when she saw how depressed she was. Instead, she felt that someone should treat her like Chen Lishu.
"Let's go back to the house." Gu Shoufu turned around with his hands behind his back and went straight back to the house. Seeing that nothing serious happened, Zhang Qin followed the two of them.
Liu Yuemin, who was left packing things in the kitchen, looked resentful.
She has done more than 200 sewings in the past two days with a sewing machine. Without the sewing machine, she can't do it even if she is fifty in a day. She feels more and more that Chen Lishu has a small belly. But then she thought about how her flower business has come to an end, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed
A proud smile.
Let’s see how many more days she can remain arrogant.
In the next few days, Chen Lishu used up all the cloth in her hands and saved almost 4,000 more flowers.
There were too many things and they were too heavy, so she had to ask Gu Xingye to help her take them to town.
Arriving at the door of the Materials Bureau, Zhou Bin quickly came out of the office building. Seeing her delivering so many goods at once, he smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence that you're here. I happen to be going out in the next two days."
"As soon as I finished it, I thought I'd just make a trip and deliver it all. I was originally thinking that I was afraid you wouldn't accept it if it was too much."
"I'll accept whatever you do."
Zhou Bin looked at Gu Xingye beside her as she spoke. Thinking that there was a vacancy in the bureau recently, she told Chen Lishu: "A comrade in our unit who is unloading injured his waist some time ago. He probably won't be back in three or four months."
.See if there is a suitable young man who can help introduce one."
Then Zhou Bin explained the conditions again: "As long as you can endure hardships and stand hard work. The salary is twenty-five yuan a month. The food and accommodation unit will take care of it. It's just hard work. Sometimes you may have to sleep in the car after traveling on the road for a few days."
The way Chen Lishu glanced at Gu Xingye probably meant that she liked him. Although the salary of twenty-five yuan was not high, it was a good price for food and housing. The only regret was that she was only a temporary worker.
.
Zhou Bin may have noticed her thoughts, so he thought for a moment and said, "Although I am a temporary worker, as long as I know how to work and am willing to learn, I can still learn to drive while traveling with the master. At least I can learn more skills."
Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye's eyes lit up at the same time when they heard that they could learn to drive.
Gu Xingye is a pure man who loves cars. Chen Lishu thinks further.
Until the 1990s, driving was a relatively popular profession. If Gu Xingye could learn this skill, he would be able to live comfortably in the future.
Knowing that Zhou Bin specifically spoke in such detail for her sake, she felt grateful and silently recorded his affection.
Chen Lishu turned her head to look at Gu Xingye. Although Gu Xingye was willing, he had to leave home for the first time, and he would be away for several months, and he still had to work in the team. He was still a little undecided.
"What do you think, third sister-in-law?" At this moment, Chen Lishu was the backbone in his eyes.
"It's good for you to go out and see the man. Besides, it's only a few months and it will go by in a flash. If you feel it's not suitable, we'll come back and farm again."
Seeing that she agreed, Gu Xingye nodded in agreement.
"I'll go back and tell my colleagues. If nothing happens on your end, I'll report back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
