Break out of the courtyard

After dinner, the eldest sister and the second sister had completely given up on Four Seasons and had been tested. Only the eldest cousin took a notebook and pen and asked her cousin Zhang Heping for advice.

Zhang Heping glanced at the sketches the three sisters drew today and threw them aside. Their imagination was limited by their experience.

Then, he looked at his eldest cousin and asked in a guiding light: "Cousin, what was your first thought when you saw the three quilt cores on the kang?"

"I, I want to make quilt covers for them to prevent them from getting dirty." Ma Lili replied.

"Very good!" Zhang Heping nodded in appreciation: "I am much more knowledgeable than the aunts in the courtyard. They actually thought that I was using a quilt core with fine thread mesh to save fabric."

"How many beds of that kind of quilt core do you think you need to cover in winter so that you can sleep warmly? How many beds are needed when burning the kang? How many beds are needed in spring and autumn? Are they needed in summer?"

The eldest cousin Ma Lili walked to the kang, unfolded three thin quilts of the same thickness, overlapped them, and then opened them one by one.

The second sister, Zhang Pandi, eavesdropped and asked hurriedly: "Brother, do you want to make a quilt cover that can accommodate three quilt cores, and then add or subtract quilt cores to make it usable in all seasons?"

"Candidates who give up on the exam are not worthy of asking questions. Just take your clothes off."

"Hmph!" Zhang Pandi snorted dissatisfiedly at Zhang Heping, and pulled her eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi to the kang.

The three sisters discussed for a while, and then their eldest cousin Ma Lili came over to continue asking for advice.

"Cousin, if you add or subtract the quilt cores in the quilt cover according to the changes of the seasons, you can indeed use one quilt cover for all seasons. However, the three quilt cores are only 1 meters wide, which is only suitable for one person. If you make it for everyone in the family For a quilt cover like this, the existing fabric is not enough.”

Chen Liqin, who was helping to pull old cotton outside the room, heard this. She subconsciously looked at the row of patched quilts behind the sink.

"Enough cloth! Think about it again..."

"Enough?" The eldest cousin Ma Lili frowned for a moment, and then was pulled out of the door by Zhang Pandi to check the bed quilt that had been washed.

After a while, the three sisters returned to the room.

The eldest cousin Ma Lili said to Zhang Heping who was sitting in the rocking chair reading:

"Cousin, counting the quilt cover and quilt fabric together, it is indeed enough for each of us to make a quilt cover. However, without a quilt, we can only sleep wrapped in the quilt, and it is inconvenient to turn over."

"Yes!" the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi said happily: "We can make the quilt cover like a sock, one for each person. When sleeping in winter, we can get into it and turn over at will!"

The three sisters finally thought about sleeping bags, and Zhang Heping patiently guided them to think about and solve the problem.

Later, the three sisters agreed that the joints of the sleeping bags should be sewn together to make them look like socks.

Zhang Heping drew a pattern of a sleeping bag. After the quilt was wrapped in a circle, two rows of buttons and cords were hidden in the overlapping part. In addition, there was an extra detachable flat cloth bag that was put on the foot end, also with buttons and buckles. Connected by buckle rope.

At the end, I also drew a schematic diagram of a little man in a sleeping bag.

That night, the three sisters worked hard to make the sleeping bag designed by Zhang Heping. They also stuffed the cores of three quilts into the quilt covers and got in one by one to try to sleep... There was no heat stroke!

……

The next day, Cotton Man came early in the morning and took over all the work.

In order to squeeze the most out of Liu Mianlang, Zhang Heping also went to Houhai to catch a few fish and came back with steamed fish fillets for lunch to encourage him.

The eldest sister and the eldest cousin were working on sewing machines in the room, while the second sister Zhang Pandi was watching from the side.

For a moment, Zhang Heping wanted to use the sewing ticket at home and buy a sewing machine for the three of them to use together.

However, there is no need. The two sisters are going to study, so they bought it to occupy some space.

The second sister, Zhang Pandi, received a new task from Zhang Heping. She took out the cotton-padded clothes and trousers of everyone in the family, took them out, shredded the cotton, and remade the clothes.

Fortunately, his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, was also on summer vacation, and with the help of his grandmother, Ermei Xie, and the three newly arrived brothers and sisters of the Zhou family, Shattered Cotton could keep up with Liu Mianlianlang's playing progress.

According to the second son of the Zhou family, their family was squeezed out by the people in the previous yard because they wore clean clothes, so they agreed to the street office to change their house.

Zhang Heping tore the old cotton and said with a smile: "You must continue to keep clean. If you have lice on your body, my family will not entertain you again."

"Zhang Heping, do you have a gun or a crossbow?" Zhou Chengwu, the second eldest son of the Zhou family, asked with gleaming eyes.

When Zhang Heping heard this, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Did Yi Zhonghai tell you?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Chengwu nodded hurriedly, "He told my mother last night that you had a gun and a crossbow. The previous resident of the house we live in now was shot away by you with a gun."

Zhang Heping's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "You know so much, aren't you afraid that I will kill you with one shot?"

"Uh..." Faced with Zhang Heping's sudden change, Zhou Chengwu was a little confused.

Boom!

Zhang Heping was punched in the head by Ma Xiuzhen, "Don't joke around."

Zhang Heping returned to his smiling expression, "What did your mother say? How dare you let you come here."

"My mother asked us to see and understand for ourselves, and not to listen to what someone else said." Zhou Chengwu said.

"It makes sense!" Zhang Heping nodded in agreement, then leaned down, leaned his head close, and whispered: "I'm telling you, Yi Zhonghai has a kitchen knife at home, which is extremely dangerous! It's true!"

puff!

The second sister, Zhang Pandi, couldn't help laughing. When the boss of the Zhou family looked at her, she couldn't help but turn her head to the side and cover her mouth with her arm.

"Zhang Heping!" Yan Jiefang hurriedly ran into the courtyard, held up a piece of paper, ran to Zhang Heping, and said loudly: "You got double hundred points in the exam!"

"Oh!" Zhang Heping took the report card, glanced at it, and handed it indifferently to his mother Ma Xiuzhen, who looked happy next to him.

"How many exams have you taken? Which junior high school are you planning to attend?" Zhang Heping asked casually.

"I have an 89 in Chinese and an 80 in mathematics. My dad asked me about the school, but I still don't know where to study."

Zhang Heping thought that Yan Jiefang was still very obedient, so he planned to drag him to No. 5 Middle School. "Do you want to go to No. 5 Middle School? It's close to home and you can go home every day."

"No, I want to live on campus, and I want to eat in the school cafeteria!" Yan Jiefang answered decisively, as if he had thought of something very happy, with a smile on his face.

The second sister, Zhang Pandi, saw the double hundred points on the report card and frowned: "Brother, you can choose one, which is close to home."

"It's the fifth middle school. I'll ask for your admission notice tomorrow and sign up by the way."

……

On July 7, the day after Zhang Heping got his elementary school report card.

Early in the morning, he was fully armed and went out with his dog Laifu.

I went to Huang's house and called Huang Laosan, but I didn't call that idiot Zhao Laoliu.

I heard that he failed the exam and was sent to military training by his father. Poor kid.

Later, Huang Laosan and Huang Wenxuan rode their bikes, and the two of them fought all the way to Qianshan Village. They circled around the nearby hills and only in the afternoon did they catch three rabbits and one roe deer.

Zhang Heping originally wanted to shoot another big one so that Huang Wenxuan could get another gun, but he didn't want it because he said his father wouldn't allow it.

So, the two of them returned to Qianshan Village while eating steamed buns, gave a rabbit to the village elder Zhou, exchanged a few words with each other, and then rode back.

Huang Laosan only took 2 rabbits home, and the remaining roe deer was taken to No. 1 Middle School by Zhang Heping.
