Get Pitted by the Space and Go Through It Quickly

Chapter 18 60s 18

In this era, there is always no way to escape the fate of shouting slogans. After Xia Zhi followed a few slogans, he went to the captain’s house to collect his salary.

The captain arrived at home, took out a notebook in the room, wrote and drew for a while and said: “Today is August 2nd, this year has passed more than half a year, I will count you for the past half a year, one person will be assigned to one year. His cloth ticket is one foot and two feet, if you only have half a year, you can only take six feet, just to make a set of clothes, and there are still some rags for other things.”

“But it is troublesome for you to go to the town to buy it yourself. Now that the summer harvest is over, all major production teams have issued money and tickets. At this time, everyone is rushing to buy things. The town’s supply and marketing cooperatives must be in short supply. Should you go now? I must buy it, otherwise, my wife still has a few pieces of cloth there. I originally kept it for the new year to make new clothes. I will lend it to you first. I will deduct the cloth tickets issued later in your work points directly. Is it okay?” The captain made a suggestion to her at the end of the calculation.

If you can get ready-made cloth, you don’t need to go to the town to buy it yourself. Of course, you are willing to do so during the summer solstice, so you nodded and said: “Yes, just do what you said, Captain.”

“Okay.” The captain closed the book, then walked to the entrance of the hall, and said to the children playing in the yard, “Da Niu, go find your grandma and come back and say I have something to find her.”

The child stood up, wiped his nose and said, “Oh.” Then he ran out quickly.

The captain turned around and said to Xia Zhi: “You wait here, my wife is at work today, wait for her to come back and bring you the cloth.”

“Okay.” Xia Zhi sat in the hall and waited obediently. The captain’s wife soon returned with the little grandson.

The captain said to his wife: “Dr. Xia’s luggage has been stolen, and now there is no change to wash. You need to advance a six-foot cloth to make clothes. Go and take out your private possession for Dr. Xia to choose.”

His wife rolled her eyes and said, “You old man, don’t you know where I locked the cloth? Why don’t you get it yourself, and you have to call me from the field. It’s troublesome to run around. Do you know how much food was wasted in my stomach for this journey?”

The captain chuckled twice and said: “It’s not that it’s not tiring to work with men and women. We are male and female in charge of the division of labor and cooperation. I will never interfere if you are in charge of it.”

His wife groaned, “Hey, you old fellow, it’s really annoying, I won’t tell you, I’m still rushing back to work.” Then she ran to the room to get the cloth.

The captain just laughed, and didn’t bother her to curse.

Summer Solstice didn’t expect that in this era, he almost ate a mouthful of dog food and was almost crushed to death.

After the captain’s wife came out of the room, she held two different colors of cloth in her hand, one black and the other gray. She asked Xia Zhi: “The cloth I have left here has two colors. Take a look, you like it. Which one?”

Xia Zhi said, “It’s black.” She usually makes herbs. The concoction is splattered, and the black is dirt-resistant, and it is not easy to see that other colors are stained on it.

“Okay, give you a black one, which happens to be a six-foot one.” She said and handed the black cloth to Xia Zhi.

After Xia Zhi took the cloth, he asked, “Aunt Liao, do you have any needles and threads? Or a sewing machine. Can you lend me a bit? I don’t have any needles and threads, so I can’t make clothes.”

“Yes, the sewing machine is in my room. Come with me.” Aunt Liao brought Xia Zhi into her room, opened the cloth covering the sewing machine and said, “No, here, you can use it.”

She bent down and took out a few more things from the belly of the sewing machine, and handed them to Xia Zhi, “Scissors, needles and threads are also here, you can use them as you please.”

I didn’t expect that the captain’s wife was so nice and generous. After Xia Solstice took the needle and thread, she repeatedly thanked her and said, “Thank you, auntie, I will use it carefully.”

Aunt Liao smiled and said, “You are welcome, everyone is your own. You are here as your own home.”

Xia Zhi smiled and did not speak, and declined to comment on the kind words of the captain’s wife.

Aunt Liao put the remaining piece of cloth back into the cabinet, and said to Xia Zhi: “You can get it here by yourself. I’ll go to the field first. You can just cover it back when you are done using it.”

Xia Zhi said: “Okay, auntie, go slowly.”

She said politely again, and amused Aunt Liao: “Oh, you are…really…oh, so polite, okay, I’ll walk slowly, walk slowly.”

After she finished speaking, she laughed and went out, and Xia Zhi was also amused by her words.

After watching the captain’s wife leave, she started cutting cloth during the summer solstice. Because she had spent some time in the 1970s, she had learned how to make clothes, so she was comfortable doing it.

Originally, she wanted to make a set of fashionable clothes, but when she was cutting the scissors, she suddenly remembered that strange “stepmother”, and she changed her mind.

Summer solstice cut an old-style double-breasted blouse that is quite satisfactory. The buckle is also made now. In order to save cloth, the trousers are made of short sleeves. The pants are also made according to the current aesthetics. However, because the fabric is a little less, the length can only be made. To half the length of the pants.

It’s actually a bit difficult to make a set of six-foot fabrics. Fortunately, at the summer solstice, it’s slender and not fat, so I barely made a set of clothes, and I tried to save fabric and made an extra set of underwear. Change.

There is a sewing machine to make clothes quickly. These clothes don’t take much time. After she finishes making the clothes, she walks out of the room.

At this time, the captain was no longer at home. It is estimated that he went to work. Only the little boy who was playing in the mud, Daniel, was left in his house.

Xia Zhi greeted him and said, “My kid, I’m finished with my clothes and I’m leaving now.”

Daniel was originally squatting in the yard and poking in the mud. He looked up at her and said: “Oh, you go.” This little guy is pretty cool, but he has two noses, which affects his cool brother temperament. .

After walking out of the captain’s house at the summer solstice, go to the river to prepare to wash your clothes.

As soon as she stood by the river, she frowned. The water in the river today seems to be less than yesterday. Because there is no rain, the crops in the field need artificial irrigation. Some villagers carry wooden buckets to the river to carry water. Watering the fields.

In the summer solstice, I went upstream and rubbed my clothes a few times. After washing them, I returned to my small courtyard, hung them on bamboo poles to dry, and then took the broom and went to the ancestral hall.

She cleaned the hut that was used as a health room, and the gong rang when she was off work, and she was able to eat again.

On the summer solstice, put the broom back into the house and go to the cafeteria with the flow of people.

This time she finally sat at the table in the crowd to have dinner with everyone. Other people on the table looked at her wooden bowl curiously and said, “Doctor Xia, you have a good bowl. You made it yourself?”

Xia Zhi smiled and said: “Yes.” Then she refused to mention that she could do it for them, because she was afraid that she was the same as the aunt before. As soon as they said that they agreed, then she would have to make endless bowls.

She didn’t respond, and several aunts talked to her about other topics, such as what did she do in the morning, why didn’t she go to work in the fields, and what kind of work did the captain assign her?

During the summer solstice, she answered one by one, saying that she might not go to the fields to do things. Recently, she has to be busy with the clinic, and she has to go to the mountains to collect medicine by herself. This year there should be no time to go to the fields to work. When the medicine reserves are up, there will be no patients. Will consider going to work in the field.

When she finished her meal and left to go outside to wash, she suddenly heard the aunts at the same table lower their voices and said: “Cut, isn’t it just a wooden bowl? What’s so great? I’m not unfamiliar with her yesterday. Didn’t you agree to help the Sixi family make bowls? Why is it my turn today without saying a word. I am so inferior to the Sixi family’s wife?”

“That’s right, did you just see her, her expression is so arrogant, as if she’s great, has she already transferred her hukou back to our village, so we don’t need us anymore, so she doesn’t bother to talk to us?”

“Hey, they are amazing. Not only did they move their household registration back, but they also became health workers. There are only two doctors in the town from ten miles and eight townships. Now there are more of her. In the future, the nearby brigade will have to see a doctor, so you don’t need to go. In town, as long as you walk a few steps, the nearby brigade will be her doctor. Doesn’t she have to hold her thigh, or who knows if she will try her best to treat you.”

“Older six, don’t worry, she only said that she came back from Lin Province before, and she didn’t say where she came from Lin Province. Seeing other people’s factions might be that they came back from a big city, and where they look like our country. Tu Niu, you, don’t go up there and be boring in the future.”

“That’s right, people can be health workers and they must be literate. They are intellectuals. You haven’t seen those educated youths who come to our village to jump in the queue. They are just students. Not everyone has their noses upright. Don’t think they are Xue Laogou’s daughter. , You can treat her as our own person in the Xue Shantou brigade, and be her master. She is a scholar who has returned from other provinces. From now on, we must respect her a little.”

Too good hearing is troublesome. In the summer solstice, he was washing dishes outside the cafeteria, and he could clearly hear the words of the aunts inside.

She was depressed. She was just a little more polite, so she wouldn’t get to the point of anger and resentment, right?

After living in developed later generations for decades, Xia Zhi has long been accustomed to the way of talking to bother and thank you. It is really difficult to throw away these polite words and immediately integrate into the current environment.

What’s wrong with literacy? Isn’t it a shame that you need to say so strangely about her?

When I heard them mad that she agreed to make wooden bowls for the next door, she didn’t respond today. It seems that the source of everything was because she didn’t agree to make bowls for them, not because she was literate and did not need to go to the ground as a health worker.

A few wooden bowls are worthless, are these aunts like this? Xia Zhi felt so speechless after thinking of these things. People who have become a habit of taking advantage of small advantages would be wrong as long as others do not meet their requirements.

The author has something to say: I have checked how many cloth tickets each person can get each year in the 1960s. Someone said that they were from the countryside. One person can only get 3 feet cloth tickets a year, which is only enough for three feet cloth tickets. A piece of clothing, if it is a fatter person, a piece of clothing cannot be made.

When I think about this standard, doesn’t my protagonist have to have no clothes to change for a long time? So I simply used the Shanghai standard at that time. The Shanghai standard is said to be the best in the country, and one person can divide the ticket into ten feet per year.

The protagonist should thank me, if I hadn’t secretly changed the standard, she would have to weave a straw skirt like a savage! Hahaha

If the protagonist can hear the thoughts in my heart, will he cross out to beat me, and who asked me to seal her space.
