Lin An opened the door and saw Aunt Cheng standing at the door with several other aunts.

The winter night was so cold that Aunt Cheng and the others only waited at the door for less than a minute, and their breath turned white.

"Aunt Cheng, come inside quickly and warm yourself up."

"No, no, there are so many guests at your house, it's not convenient for us to go in." Aunt Cheng asked, "Is Wan Ning at home? Let's show her the clothes we just made."

Lin An thought that Xu Wanning was pregnant, and people who were hot and cold were most likely to get sick, so she simply called everyone into the room.

Because there were no windows open to ventilate the smell, the smell of roast suckling pig still lingered in the main room.

This fragrance is really alluring. Just smelling it, Aunt Cheng and the others couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"What does it taste like? Sister-in-law Lin, what good food did your family just eat?" an aunt asked with a smile, but her eyes kept circling around, as if she wanted to find something.

Aunt Cheng scolded her hurriedly: "What do people eat at home have to do with you? Hurry up and show Wan Ning the things."

This aunt was not among the people who came to deliver food before, but her skills in making cotton-padded jackets were among the best in the village, so Aunt Cheng could only call this person together.

The aunts who had previously given food to Xu Wanning instead of giving them fish were also there. They knew that with the kind of people Xu Wanning and Lin's mother were, they would definitely get a bite if they showed desire.

Who is not greedy? Especially since it smells so good.

But they still understand the principle of having a full meal. The Lin family won't think too much about it once or twice, but if it happens too many times, Bao Buqi will think that they are greedy, and they will not be happy to make money again in the future. Did it with them.

"That's right, hurry up and show the finished cotton-padded jacket to Wan Ning. If it passes the test, you can get your wages early."

At this moment, the smile on Aunt Cheng's face could no longer hold on.

She glared at the other person with a stiff face and angrily said: "You keep talking about money, are you thinking of money or something?"

The other party retorted dissatisfiedly: "I make cotton-padded jackets for them, and this is the handicraft money I earn. Once the cotton-padded jackets are made, what's the problem with me getting the money I deserve? You are all very noble. Don't ask for money if you have the ability. Do it for free.”

"you……"

"What am I? Did I say something wrong?"

Xu Wanning looked at the quarreling people with a headache, and quickly interrupted their meaningless argument, "Aunts, please show me the cotton-padded jackets, so that I can let everyone in the family change to new ones as soon as possible to keep them warm. a little."

Aunt Cheng handed over what she made first.

She also wants to make money. After all, she can earn two yuan by making a cotton-padded jacket. Anyone who doesn't appreciate such a good way is a fool.

What's more, she was the first person Lin Quan found, so Aunt Cheng made three men's items and one women's item, as well as two new pieces of Shi'an Shiyi's clothes.

Xu Wanning first picked up the two small pieces and inspected them. The stitches were very dense and the cotton was evenly distributed. Even if they were washed several times, there was no need to worry about the cotton running out.

She took one of the pieces and measured it on Shi An. It was a little bit big, but it didn't matter because she was wearing thick clothes underneath.

"I made a few men's pieces based on Anzi's stature. They are not too small, right?"

"It's not too small, it's just right."

According to the price agreed upon by Lin Quan and Aunt Cheng, Xu Wanning counted eleven dollars and fifty cents to Aunt Cheng.

"Thank you Wan Ning, I can make money again." Aunt Cheng was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

When the Lin family built a new house, her two sons came. After five or six days, the two brothers together only earned about ten yuan.

But she made the clothes for a day and a half and earned a full eleven and a half cents!

Yesterday, she asked someone to buy pork from the butcher's. No meat stamps are required. One yuan can buy a catty. Her ten yuan is enough to buy ten catties of meat, and she can also buy a few catties of candy for the children at home. Sweet mouth.

My family will finally be able to have a prosperous year this year.

The following aunts also received their corresponding wages in turn.

The last one was the turn of the aunt Xu Wanning was unfamiliar with.

As soon as Xu Wanning picked up the cotton-padded jacket and touched it twice with her hands, her face darkened.

"I'll pay for the fabric and cotton myself, and I'll give you two yuan for the craftsmanship fee for a cotton-padded jacket. To put it bluntly, who else in the surrounding area is so generous? But you're so lucky, you actually cut corners for me?"

Xu Wanning was very angry and felt that she had been deceived.

When Aunt Cheng heard this, she hurriedly touched it, and then said angrily: "I know you have always been greedy. If I hadn't been thinking about your skill in making cotton-padded jackets, I wouldn't have wanted to find you at all. But you are so good, you even withheld money. Cotton? Feel it for yourself. The amount of cotton used is not half that of ours, right? Where did you get all the cotton? "

The other party said sarcastically: "The cotton I received was originally very small."

"You fart!" Aunt Cheng yelled: "You are the second one to get cotton, no one else can do without you! What do you want to do with some cotton?"

"No need to ask. I definitely want to keep it to make two cotton-padded jackets for my family."

Several other aunts also joined in, scolding that aunt bloody.

"I don't care. I've already made the cotton-padded jacket. My handicraft fee must be paid to me, otherwise I will... I will..."

"Here you go, okay. But my parents brought the cotton here from Beijing. A pound of cotton costs six yuan. You must use at least a pound and a half of cotton yourself, right? You can use the nine yuan first Give me."

"Cotton is so expensive! You must be asking me for high prices on purpose!"

Aunt Cheng helped: "Wan Ning said that the cotton brought from Beijing is definitely better than what we use. It's nine yuan. You should pay the money to Wan Ning quickly, otherwise you have to squat on the fence. Son!"

"That's right! Not only do you want to earn six yuan, but you also secretly hide cotton. Once you hide it, you start with a pound. Do you think you are stupid or bad?"

The relatively large main room seemed a lot more lively because of the quarrels between several aunts.

This was the first time for the eldest aunt and others to see such a scene, and they all watched with gusto.

Upon seeing this, Lin Quan hurriedly went to the house and brought out a plate of melon seeds, letting everyone grab a handful.

"Tsuen Tsuen, are all the people in your village so... fierce?"

Lin Quan explained: "Actually, Aunt Cheng and the others are very nice people. Didn't we meet an old guy?"

"Are there many people like this in the village?"

"There are so many, so many, almost every household has one!"
