Xie Chengzhi was helpless: "Why don't these people stop?"

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head, secretly thinking about what those two people might do.

After nearly a month of hard work, the cotton-padded clothes have been finished one by one. Miao Shiwen sent each one directly. At the same time, he took back the old cotton-padded clothes and dismantled them when there was no way to do needlework at night and gave them to the men during the day. The educated youths took them to clean, and now the yard was filled with pieces of frozen, tied-up and disassembled cotton-padded clothes.

Zhu Xiaomin was busy herself and did not leave the male educated youth idle. There was a cotton-playing workshop in the town. After the snow stopped, she actually invited a few male educated youths to learn to play cotton and spent money to get a set of tools.

She actually played it real!

After taking a look at the washed cotton batting hanging in the yard, several male educated youths resigned themselves to their fate and went to town.

Who asked Zhu Xiaomin to praise them for their ingenuity, but they couldn't resist the sugar-coated bullets.

Everyone really lived up to their mission and went there for two days. Although they were not skilled, they were able to get started. So Zhu Xiaomin set up a stall in a room in the inner courtyard and piled the washed cotton from old cotton clothes and let them The elasticity is soft.

So, after sewing the last cotton-padded coat, Miao Shiwen and the others started sewing cotton trousers.

The same process as cotton-padded clothes. Every time a pair of cotton trousers is delivered, the old cotton trousers must be collected, disassembled and cleaned. The cotton is dried and re-strung.

Fortunately, there is no production task in the team. Cotton trousers are simpler than cotton coats. They are also cut from complete fabrics and do not need to be spliced, so they can be rushed faster.

After that, the disassembled cotton trousers were cleaned, five pounds of cotton was used to make a quilt core, fine cotton was used as the lining, polyester was used as the cover, and a quilt was sewn into it.

The Luo family and his son originally did not have cotton-padded clothes and trousers. When making them, they used newly bought cotton. Instead, they picked some old cloth from other people's cotton-padded clothes. They made them and sent them directly. Zhu Xiaomin was also the first to make new quilts. Take him to Luo Tingyuan.

Now the father and son are still covering the bed with tattered cotton wool and a straw mattress tied by themselves. Although there is a fire in the stove and a stove is added, it is still cold in this weather.

When she came in, Luo Ye had just washed her feet and was sitting by the stove warming her little feet. When he saw her, he immediately jumped up happily, put on his shoes and came towards her.

But just this time, Zhu Xiaomin immediately saw that his feet were covered with chilblains. She felt a little pinched in her heart. Without asking any questions, she handed the quilt to Luo Tingyuan and said with a smile: "I just made a quilt, cover it first. The second bed will be ready tomorrow.”

Luo Tingyuan was a little uneasy: "This... you haven't changed yet..."

In the past few years, they slept in cowsheds with ventilation on all sides, let alone bedding. Even if they occasionally lit a fire, it was quickly extinguished for fear of catching fire.

Nowadays, there is a house to block the wind, a stove to burn the kang, a stove to light a fire, and a backyard with half a yard of firewood piled for casual use. There are even bought coal piled next to the chicken coop to stoke the fire at night. Unexpectedly good.

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "We can use it. It's cold. I'll give it to you first, and we'll put it on later."

Quilts are different from cotton-padded clothes. As long as the cotton is well-stretched, it only takes less than half an hour to sew a quilt. Even she, who can't hold a needle, can do it. The only difference is that the sewing is ugly and beautiful.

Luo Tingyuan was helpless and whispered: "I'm afraid if someone sees me..."

Eight years have made this man live too carefully.

Zhu Xiaomin sighed secretly: "It's freezing cold today, who will come to our place? Besides, everyone knows that we bought these cloths. You live here, and you won't even get a quilt in this weather." It’s just a mistake, don’t worry.” Put him directly on the kang.

How could it not be considered a mistake?

If someone really wants to cause trouble, a hat of sympathizing with the capitalist roaders will be placed on her head immediately.

But when he met her eyes, Luo Tingyuan's words reached his throat and he did not say them out after all.

Watching her go out, Luo Ye carefully touched the new quilt, looked up at Luo Tingyuan, and said softly: "Dad, is Sister Xiaomin really going to leave?"

Luo Tingyuan's heart twitched, he touched his head but said nothing.

Indeed, with both cotton-padded clothes and quilts, Zhu Xiaomin's approach was more like arranging everything in a hurry to leave.

It's just that this child is too sensitive.

Zhu Xiaomin's mind was already filled with the frostbite on Luo Ye's feet, and she was planning to buy more ginger later and boil some ginger water for him to soak.

After entering the dormitory, Miao Shiwen was sitting by the stove warming up, holding a pair of cotton trousers in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Why, Teacher Luo refuses to accept it?"

"Yeah." Zhu Xiaomin sighed, pulled up a bench and sat next to her, took the sweater to knit, and said, "He is always afraid of getting us involved."

Miao Shiwen stopped her hand and was a little worried: "Forget about the cotton-padded clothes. If someone comes, the quilt will be visible at a glance."

Zhu Xiaomin did not explain the situation, but just whispered: "It doesn't matter if they are not here with us. Now that they live in the same yard, we can't watch their father and son freeze like that."

You must know that although a kang is burned in the stove and an additional stove is added, even if it is coal, the fire will go out in the middle of the night and the temperature in the room will drop.

Miao Shiwen nodded and added: "The quilt can be sewn when it pops out tomorrow. They still need a mattress."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "After changing the quilt, our mattress will also need to be changed. Let's make a bed for them first."

Zhang Qiaomei was sitting at the stove adding firewood. When she heard this, she immediately said, "Xiaomin, have you ever counted our cloth?"

"What?" Zhu Xiaomin asked.

Zhang Qiaomei shook her head and counted on her fingers: "With a cotton coat and cotton trousers, it's almost two pounds of cotton and four meters of cloth. Cotton is easy to say. There are thirty-five of us, so that's one hundred and forty meters of cloth, that's eleven pieces. It’s all muslin.”

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I know, the twill cloth is used on the outside and the plain cloth is used on the inside."

Zhang Qiaomei calculated again: "Now it's a quilt. The polyester on the outside is okay, and the lining is also made of fine cotton. It's two meters long and needs to be hemmed, which is two meters and two. The head and face are small, and the width is not enough. Every two beds need to be broken into two meters and two." In total, it’s more than nine horses.”

Zhu Xiaomin did not calculate so carefully. After careful calculation, he said with a smile: "We have a total of twenty-three pieces of fine cotton. Although I said to use plain weave for the quilt, I ran out of plain weave, so I had to use twill."

Zhang Qiaomei frowned: "After all, there are less than three pieces of fine cotton and a total of six pieces of polyester, all of which are used to make quilts. There are still two people left."

"Isn't it enough?" Zhu Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Xiaoya and said, "Then you and Xiaoya should use fine cotton cloth, which is better than polyester."

Zhang Qiaomei said hurriedly: "I didn't mean that. I meant that if...if there were only thirty-five of us, it would be just right."
