Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

Thinking of this, Qi Yanli was so angry that if she hadn't seen Brother Xiao looking at Meng Xiaoman, she would have doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes. She dressed up beautifully and went to talk to him, but he didn't even look at her. One glance. Even when he was walking next to him and saw that he was about to fall, he walked over without blinking.

After thinking about it, she felt that the clothes she was wearing must not look good, so she did not attract Brother Xiao's attention, so she came to Meng Xiaoman to make clothes. By the way, she also wanted to see what else attracted Brother Xiao to Meng Xiaoman besides being pretty.

Qi Yanli chose the dress with a baby collar made by Meng Xiaoman herself. "This is it, I want one exactly like it!"

"Are you sure you want them exactly the same?" Qi Yanli is of medium height and has a relatively well-proportioned body shape. She would look good in a skirt, but she has an obvious round face and a short neck. Wearing a doll collar will highlight these shortcomings. "Actually, you'll look better in a V-neck."

"What is a V-neck?" Qi Yanli asked, "You didn't say that on purpose because you were afraid that I would do the same thing as you, right?"

Meng Xiaoman drew several different collars on the paper with a pencil and showed them to her, "Look, this kind is a V-neck. This kind of neckline will elongate a person's neck and face shape, and it will be more suitable for you."

Qi Yanli didn't believe it, "Don't lie to me. I think you are just afraid that I will look better than you in the same clothes, so you deliberately don't make the same clothes for me. If you don't want to do it, just say so. It will be the same if I find someone else to do it." !”

Seeing her insistence, Meng Xiaoman measured her size and said she would pick it up in three days.

In the afternoon, Meng Xiaoman was making clothes at home. Chen Meijuan suddenly came with a roll of bright cloth and asked her to help make clothes.

Since the last time they met on the mountain, Chen Meijuan came to see Meng Xiaoman twice, but unfortunately, she either went to the market or went to catch the sea, and she was not at home.

As soon as Meng Xiaoman got her hands on the clothing material, she found that it was really good quality cloth, a level higher than what she and Xiao Xiangdong bought at Lushi Department Store.

"This material is really good. What kind of clothes do you want to wear?"

Chen Meijuan smiled a little shyly, "My man brought it back to me, and I don't know much about it. You can decide what style is suitable for it, as long as it looks good."

Chen Meijuan is petite and petite, with white skin and sweet appearance. The only drawback is that her body proportions are a bit bad and her legs are not long. Meng Xiaoman looked at the measured dimensions and then at the bright cloth. Ask her if she wears a skirt.

"I've worn it before, but I don't seem to be suitable for it." Chen Meijuan said that she had seen the clothes Meng Xiaoman made for the family next door to her. When she put them on, she felt like she was a different person, and her whole figure had improved. She wanted this effect too.

Meng Xiaoman had seen the skirts at this time. They were wide, rustic in color, and did not pay attention to tailoring. They were all in the same style, and it was difficult to suit everyone.

"It's not the kind in the supply and marketing cooperative." Meng Xiaoman said, wrapping the cloth around her waist and explaining to her: "Look, when the time comes, lift the waistline of the skirt to this place, where the waist is the most Narrow place. It visually gives people the illusion of elongating the lower body. This will make the person appear to have good proportions."

Chen Meijuan looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't believe it. It looked like her legs were much longer, "But isn't the waist down here?"

"Wearing clothes is not only to protect you from the cold and keep warm, but also to cover up and modify the body's shortcomings. You don't have to be too honest."

Chen Meijuan nodded, looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and said softly, let's make a skirt.

"Do you have any shoes with heels? If you wear them, the effect will be better." Meng Xiaoman suggested.

"I have it, I just don't know if it fits."

"Then next time you pick up your clothes, bring them over and I'll take a look at them for you."

"Thank you, you are so kind." Chen Meijuan said, "By the way, today is Sunday, why is your battalion commander not at home? Did he go on a mission?"

"No, I'm going to the Yushan brigade." The troops are helping the islanders make fruit trays. Xiao Xiangdong was appointed to take charge of this matter. He often travels between the army and the brigade recently.

"What are you doing there?" Chen Meijuan asked curiously. Maybe there was some secret mission, her face couldn't help but become serious.

The fruit delivery had not yet been completed. Meng Xiaoman didn't want to say more, so she said, "He bought me some fruit. I've been making dried fruit recently."

Chen Meijuan glanced at the dried fruits in the yard, and the doubts in her eyes dissipated, "I see, I don't know how this dried fruit is made, but it looks pretty good. If it tastes good, I'll make some too."

Seeing her interest, Meng Xiaoman grabbed a handful of dried mangoes and let her try them, "It's very simple, just peel the fruit, cut it into cubes or strips, and dry it in the sun."

"It tastes pretty good. I'll make some for later."

As soon as Chen Meijuan left, Xiao Xiangdong came back.

"What is she here for?"

Meng Xiaoman was cutting cloth. She didn't understand and asked subconsciously, "Who are you talking about?"

"The people who left home just now are family members of Zheng Weizhong, the third battalion of the Second Regiment."

"You said Chen Meijuan, she came to me to make clothes, what's wrong?" Meng Xiaoman suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, "Is there anything going on between you and her?"

Xiao Xiangdong glanced at her helplessly, "What are you thinking about? What can the two of us do? I don't even know her name."

"Then what did you ask just now?"

Xiao Xiangdong hesitated, "I can't say anything about this. Anyway, don't get too close to her. You'll find out later."

Meng Xiaoman took the cloth Chen Meijuan sent today and asked, "Can I still make these clothes?"

"It's no problem making clothes."

Meng Xiaoman suddenly remembered that Chen Meijuan had asked Xiao Xiangdong just now, so she told Xiao Xiangdong.

"It's okay, but if she asks you about me in the future, remember to tell me."

After saying that, Xiao Xiangdong suddenly had an idea in his mind, "I'll go to the leader's house first and I'll be back later."

The next day, in the evening, when Xiao Xiangdong came back from the military camp, he pulled Meng Xiaoman into the room, whispered to her in her ear, "..., when she comes to pick up her clothes the day after tomorrow, you say this. .”

Unexpectedly, Chen Meijuan, who looked gentle and sweet, turned out to be a dangerous person. Meng Xiaoman nodded, "I understand, do you need me to do anything else? Do you want to catch her?" She now has both martial arts and grappling skills. I practiced pretty well, but unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to use it.

Seeing her eagerness to try, Xiao Xiangdong said, "No, we will take care of the rest."

When the day came to pick up the clothes, Meng Xiaoman had already planned what she would say when Chen Meijuan came over to pick up the clothes. After chatting for a while, she didn’t see her asking about Xiao Xiangdong. When she was thinking about how to mention Xiao Xiangdong without being abrupt, Qi Yanli Came over suddenly.

"Are my clothes ready? Let me tell you, it was promised today. If you don't finish it, I will deduct part of the labor fee." Qi Yanli said as she walked, carrying a small bag of grain.

Meng Xiaoman did not ask for money, but asked each family to provide grain, dry goods or bills to pay for the handicrafts.

"It's done, do you want to try it?" Meng Xiaoman asked, and then said to Chen Meijuan on the side, "You can also try it and see if there is anything inappropriate, and I will change it."
