90: The mother of the little cannon fodder in the control group is reborn

In the university town of City A, the flower shop owner was relieved without Hua Lingling, but the students were looking forward to her sudden appearance every day.

Especially the student who was planning to purchase goods from Hua Lingling, when he heard the news that Hua Lingling might never come again, he regretted it so much.

Once, there was an opportunity to make money in front of him, but he did not cherish it. He only regretted it after he lost it. This is the most painful thing in the world.

Hua Lingling, who was missed by the students, now had a canteen for three meals a day and lived in a newly built courtyard in the manor. She usually did not go out, and at most went to the warehouse. The clothes she wore were all bought by herself. If she needed anything, she could go out to buy it herself, but she never went out, and always asked the shopping mall to bring her.

Staying in one place all the time would make even a homebody feel bored, and she had been there for four or five months, from winter to summer.

She also thought about live streaming, at least she could chat with strangers.

But when she thought about the agreement she had signed, she consciously gave up the idea.

Pick up what you have learned? Like sewing, cooking, or growing flowers and vegetables?

She could plant some flowers and plants in the courtyard, but this was not like the countryside. If some wild animal suddenly jumped out from the flowers, she would be scared.

She was not needed to cook or fry dishes because there was a canteen in the manor. The dishes cooked by other people in the big pot were better than those she cooked by herself. Besides, it was not easy to cook for one person and now she had nowhere to put the food that she could not finish.

After counting, only needlework was left.

But what was she going to do?

Now it is summer and the college entrance examination is over. In this hot summer, does she still have to make two sets of skirts, vests and shorts pajamas for herself?

It’s better to buy something comfortable to wear.

Knit a sweater? Sew a cotton-padded jacket or trousers? Sew insoles? Make a pair of cloth shoes with 1000 layers of soles?

Relatively speaking, knitting a sweater is easier.

So Hua Lingling closed the door, turned on the air conditioner, and busied herself knitting a sweater.

She first started knitting the sweater according to the stitches she remembered.

The sweaters that are popular nowadays are very different from the sweaters of her era. Sweaters are fat and big. There are short ones that reach the waist, navel, and stomach. The long ones are almost like skirts. I don’t know if they will lose their shape or become even fatter after washing.

However, she wanted to try a sweater dress. Anyway, she was bored now. She didn't have to take care of the space. Her daughter was independent and her small business was managed by someone. She could spend her time as she pleased.

Well, that's not true. Everyone can waste their time as they please. She has been wasting it for more than 30 years, but she only worked hard for two years. The rest of the time she was just wasting time.

If you want to give up and become a lazy person, you have to work hard to have the capital to do so, or you can lower your various needs and live a low-cost life.

After three days of weaving, Hua Lingling had only half of it finished. She measured it in the mirror and thought it looked ugly, so she tore it apart and prepared to start over.

This time, she knitted according to the knitting books including crochet hooks and knitting needles that the purchaser brought back for her. She now has no idea what the final result will be like.

To be honest, when she really started knitting a sweater, she didn't have much interest in it. If the wool had not been used up and she thought it was not a good idea to rewrap it, she would definitely have started working on something else, such as insoles or cross-stitch.

Cross-stitch suddenly became popular a few years ago. Some people even spent thousands of dollars to buy it, which led many people to follow suit and embroider cross-stitch. But I haven’t heard of anyone selling any of them. Most of them either hang them on their own walls or give them away to relatives and friends.

She had tried it before and bought a pair of wedding pieces and a pair of red pillows. She had thought that since she had so many children at home, the embroidery would be perfect as gifts.

As a result, she has only embroidered a pillowcase so far, and the other two are hidden in the bottom of a cupboard.

Think about it, other people can embroider a "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that is more than ten meters long, but she has been procrastinating on even finishing a pillowcase for several years. How come she suddenly feels a little motivated?

Chao Shuyu, who was far away in the capital, would attend classes every day, participate in various club activities or go out for a stroll. She would never stay idle in the dormitory. Even if she went out to the Internet cafe to play QX5 or AU, she didn't like to stay in the dormitory.

Maybe it’s because she is young. She has not experienced the harshness of society in her ivory tower. She is full of curiosity about the outside world and can’t help but explore it first.

It was already summer now, and she had no plans to go back home for the Dragon Boat Festival. She had wanted to call her mother to tell her, but unexpectedly she received a message from Hua Lingling first, asking her to have fun by herself during the holiday.

Let her play by herself. To be honest, if it weren’t for her mother in City A, she really wouldn’t want to go back.

As for her mother Hua Lingling, she didn't have any desire to avoid her. She just didn't want to see those relatives. She didn't go anywhere during the last Chinese New Year. If she still didn't go anywhere this time, she would definitely be scolded when they meet next time.

"Xiao Yu, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and pack your things. Let's go to the classroom and save seats for them."

The roommate pulled Chao Shuyu's skirt at her waist and reminded her.

"Oh, don't worry, it's still early. Do you want to go to the cafeteria and have breakfast first?"

Chao Shuyu was impressed by her roommates. After going through three years of torture in high school, they were still able to arrive on time for class or even be late. She had no idea what their biological clocks had been adjusted to.

Like her, although she can't get up at four or five o'clock to recite the text like she did in high school, she can still insist on getting up at six o'clock, then washing up and going to the cafeteria to eat breakfast.

She never missed three meals a day. Although she had never suffered from hardship since she was a child, she had seen others living hard lives. In her aunt's and uncle's family, especially her aunt's family, everyone was skinny and even when they visited others during festivals, the food on the table was mostly vegetarian. Before each visit, her mother would remind her that she could only take the dishes in front of her.

The gifts her mother brought, which were either wine, meat, snacks or fruits, disappeared when they were delivered to her aunt's house and were all kept by her aunt.

The meat dishes on the table were also placed in front of her two cousins ​​by her mother, and in front of her there were either spicy and sour potato shreds or cold cucumber salad.

Because they didn’t have enough nutrition, the two brothers often complained of leg pain. Then the aunt became more frugal and her stomach became damaged. She was once even hospitalized.

From then on, even if Hua Lingling had no appetite, she would still eat something to avoid getting stomach problems, as she would be the one who suffered in the end.
