There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the two got out of the car and went inside.

Cheng Hongli pointed to the front not far away, It's going forward. Women have to confine themselves to confinement, so that's fine. I will visit here often, so you can go back with confidence and wait for the reunion with you at the end of the year. This master The business is very good, and it has been busy since July until the year before.

Lin Lishan followed her and found that there were clothing and shoe manufacturers in this alley, There seems to be a shoe maker here, and we'll take a look later.

I'll come back with you tomorrow. Let's forget about it today. Some people pick up clothes and shoes at home. The craftsmanship is very good. Your curtains and quilt covers are all made by others. Don't bother yourself. They do a good job. Time Hurry up, deliver it tomorrow, and get it the day after tomorrow.”

Lin Lishan thought for a while, then shook her head, Forget it, these things are a few straight lines drawn by a sewing machine. I'll take them home and finish them in a short while at night. The clothes are to be made, and I brought a lot of fabrics. Jiaojiao and Xiaowu The clothes are all patched, or they are all white. Let's take a look at the clothes tomorrow, and I plan to make more clothes for Jiaojiao.

Okay, I just happened to make clothes for the children for the New Year. How about overalls? Girls look good in them.

Lin Lishan laughed loudly, I also want to make overalls. Last time I went back to the Friendship Mall in the provincial capital and bought a few pieces of material that are suitable for making pants. I will bring all the material here tomorrow. If you need it, don't buy it. I have some fabrics. Bought one.

Okay, I'm not being polite to you either. I'll make a pair of trousers for my Yuanyuan if I have extra. Otherwise, when I see Jiaojiao wearing them, I'll ask for it later. Here, Master Fang, this is Zhang Guoqing's mother-in-law. Come here and see if there are ready-made thick quilts and mattresses. Cheng Hongli saw Master Fang inside, and hurriedly pulled Lin Lishan in, and shouted at Master Fang.

Master Fang is a middle-aged man in his thirties. No one in the county does not know the skill of plucking cotton to make quilts. He is busier than others for 2 months a year, and there are people coming to the door during the first month.

Seeing them, Master Fang smiled and said, Oh, Xiao Wu didn't even prepare the mother-in-law's thick quilt. This kid is also confused sometimes. You have to talk about him later. The in-laws just came here, right? If other people come this big winter, I will definitely not have it. When you come, it depends on Xiaowu’s face. If there is no one, I will give it to you. How big do you want? Or bed?

Lin Lishan looked at the quilts on the cabinet, they were all narrow, Master Fang, thank you in advance. This time I will prepare three thick quilts, weighing 8 catties, which can cover two people. The largest one is five quilts taller. , it’s too small and not warm. The mattress is placed on a canopy bed, so it needs to be thicker and softer, how big can you tell me?”

Master Fang nodded, I know exactly what you said. Xiaowu just bought the quilt the size of the wedding quilt. I'll give you the quilt I ordered for the first month of next year, and I'll hurry up and give it to others. As for the quilt, Xiao Wu Does Wujia have any old quilts? They can be used as quilts, but these are made of old cotton with poor quality. If you buy them, how many quilts do you want?

I bought it directly from you. I will return the old quilt to my hometown in the future. This is for the two of them to use in the county. How many beds do you have ready-made, please point them out to me, and I will take a look.

Master Fang smiled and put down the tools in his hand, and took out five or six mattresses from the inside, Look, they are all here. Usually people make the mattresses by themselves. I sell these mattresses specially to Comrade Cheng and others. They are all new. Yes, it’s full of bad stuff from the village.”

Lin Lishan made some calculations, and planned to keep two beds of military cotton quilts at home, and buy the other ones that were disassembled and resized into larger sizes. Who knows if buying cotton in the future will be as troublesome as it is in Beijing.

Give me all the six mattresses. The child is still young, and it is easy to change the bed if it wets the bed. You also need to bring me three thick quilts.

I also have this homemade cloth, do you want it? It's winter to make quilt covers, the sheets are just right, the material is also thick, not too hairy, if you want to look good, go to the supply and marketing agency to buy silk quilts and sew them together. Master Fang took out three thick quilts and used rope tie.

Lin Lishan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she really forgot about the homemade cloth. If the color is good, even the curtain cloth will be made into homemade cloth, and the purchased fabric can be used slowly. He looked at Cheng Hongli, saw her nodding, and said to Master Fang, Master Fang, I want to see the color first, so take me to have a look.

Master Fang nodded again and again, this is a big deal, Follow me inside, the cotton fluffs are flying around outside, I'll put them all inside.

Lin Lishan and the other two followed inside, seeing the layers of earthen cloth that Master Fang had opened, even Cheng Hongli shouted excitedly: Master Fang, you are not kind, why didn't you introduce me when I came here before. There are quite a lot of them. The colors are nice and the material is also thick, Shanshan, I’ll buy some too. You bought the thin ones as curtain fabrics, and I’ve seen in your house that you can make clothes out of the curtain fabrics.”

Well, the curtain cloth I bought was originally a thick fabric for summer, and the one with small flowers is used to make skirts. I save it for summer to make a few more dresses for Jiaojiao and Yuanyuan, and I can also make shirts. Master Fang, I want four of those The thinner check homecloth, the weavers in this family must have a lot of brains and know not to follow the masses. The thicker check homecloth is also given to me. Hongli, look at the set of curtains and quilts, don’t they look good?”

Cheng Hongli gave her a white look. She has seen it, and she can't wait to buy everything, It's beautiful, and the money is also beautiful. You bought so much, can you use it up?

Lin Lishan said with a smile, It's okay, it's not bad if it's left alone. My Jiaojiao can save money. If you buy more, she will have to use it. I'll make a few more sets and let her use them differently. If there are more, I will send them to Xiaoya for cleaning. Even her small body can’t move her. She can also make tablecloths. If it’s not too far away, I’d like to bring some back to Beijing myself.”

Cheng Hongli nodded, and suggested: Since you want to buy a big deal, you can buy another two bolts of calico for a change of look, or else it will be too long, and it will be full of checks.

Okay, you still have vision. Then take two more big red flowers. It's also a joy to give them to their bedroom. It's still a newlywed within two years of marriage.

Okay, all the new ones in the county seat, I will keep the ones at home in the village, and I don't have to worry about not having a quilt to cover when I go back when I have time. You have enough thinking about it, you mother. Master Fang, calculate how much it is in total Don’t count my two pieces of cloth, I’ll pay for it myself. Shanshan, don’t push me, I’m not polite to you, you must give me a piece of material for Yuanyuan’s trousers, and your curtain cloth Save it for me to make a skirt next summer.

Lin Lishan withdrew her hand with a smile, and nodded without giving in.

Master Fang calculated the money, erased the change, charged 30 yuan, and helped deliver it to the car. After the two bid him farewell, they got into the car.
