Chapter 72 moment of death

Before Lin Wei joined the army, there were two main sources for the fabrics used for making clothes at home. One was the cloth tickets issued annually by the head of the army, and the other was the industrial cloth that Zong Shao went to the county’s supply and marketing cooperative to buy with industrial coupons.

There are many things that the family needs that can only be bought with industrial coupons. Lin Wei, who is convenient for mailing, also asks Zong Shao to buy them on the island. For those fragile items that are inconvenient for mailing, Lin Wei will use the industrial coupons that she receives every month to buy. .

In this way, although a monthly mailing fee will be added, the three members of the family, Lin Wei’s few industrial coupons, are really not enough.

Anyway, since the postage was required, Lin Wei simply asked Zong Shao to buy everything he needed, and saved up his own industrial vouchers, which he would use in an emergency.

Therefore, before joining the army, Lin Wei had a lot of industrial coupons in her hands, but these industrial coupons were all from Shicheng, and they could not be used on Yazhou Island, so I would not talk about the risk of selling them to others. She was still heartbroken. It’s hard to save.

After thinking about it, Lin Wei bought a few pieces of industrial cloth from her work unit before she left her job. First, she felt that the fabric was safe, and second, when her two children were growing up, she would definitely use it.

Facts have proved that Lin Wei’s decision was very predictable.

After going to the island, because they found someone to borrow an electric fan ticket, most of the industrial coupons issued by Zong Shao every month were used to repay people, resulting in a shortage of industrial coupons on hand.

As for the cloth tickets, they were all issued at the beginning of the year, and the ones Lin Wei received at the beginning of the year have long been used up. Zong Shao has a ticket issued by the army, but the ticket is for him to make a shirt and cannot be moved.

Without those fabrics, Lin Wei might still be worrying about changing seasons.

But now, she has already prepared the new clothes for her two children.

Lin Wei started making clothes for the two children in mid-September. Originally, at her speed, if she made it by hand, it would take at least a month to make clothes. With the coat, she would be busy until November. .

But Lin Wei met Huang Aiyun after working, and Huang Aiyun had a sewing machine at home and was willing to lend Lin Wei to make clothes, so her speed was greatly improved, and the clothes were ready in mid-October.

It’s just that the temperature hasn’t dropped before, so the two children are still wearing summer clothes. Until this time, Zhao Li asked them to dress up to attend, and Lin Wei found out the new clothes and asked the brothers to put them on.

The new clothes are made according to the drawings drawn by Deng Xiangyun. There is nothing special about the layout. It is an ordinary round-neck long-sleeved pullover. The ingenious part is in the pockets, all in the shape of seafood.

Like the clothes on Mingming’s body, the pocket is in the shape of a crab, and the hand is inserted into the middle of the crab’s claws. The body of the crab is the pocket, and the two sides are connected. There were two crayfish in the pockets of Rarity’s clothes, their tails cocked and their claws flexing their teeth.

When changing clothes in the morning, the two children liked the crabs and lobsters in their pockets so much that they put their hands in their pockets and never took them out.

Because of his happiness, Mingming also went to Xiao Shishi’s house to show off his new clothes.

Seeing the big crab on Mingming’s stomach, Xiao Shishi’s eyes suddenly straightened, and he asked enviously, “Is this your new dress?”

“Yes, mine is a crab, and my brother’s is two lobsters, but his pockets are not as big as mine.” Mingming felt that the crabs on his clothes were the most powerful.

Although Xiao Shizuo liked the crabs on Mingming’s clothes, he thought about it seriously and felt that two lobsters would be fine, but there was nothing on his clothes.

So when Deng Xiangyun came out of the kitchen, he saw his son was downcast, and when he asked the reason, he smiled and said, “There must be no clothes in the crab lobster pocket at home, but my mother made you a shell pocket, do you want it? ?”

Xiao Shishi had eaten scallops and knew that it was also seafood, so he nodded hurriedly: “I want to ask for it!”

So when Lin Wei and his wife took their two children to Zhou’s house, Xiao Shishi changed into the clothes with shell pockets.

Mingming was surprised when he saw it, and asked, “You also have new clothes?!”

Xiao Shi said happily: “Yes, my mother made it for me.”

Mingming beckoned his younger brother to come and stand side by side with him and Xiao Shi, and then asked them to straighten their stomachs, prop up the pattern on their pockets with their hands, and said, “We stand together, we are the three seafood brothers! I am a big crab!”

Little Stone actively followed: “Then I’m Little Shell!”

Rarity said, not quite sure, “Then I’m the second lobster?”

Lin Wei: “…” It might as well be called a crayfish.

…

Not only the three children were caught by the seafood bag, Zhao Li, Liu Dan and the children of Yang Yi’s family liked it very much when they saw it, and asked around the three children. When they heard that this was a new dress made by their mother, they ran to their mother and said they wanted clothes with the same pockets.

The three mothers had a headache after hearing this. Before making hats, embroidering eyes and mouths was enough for them to work.

Liu Dan couldn’t help but ask, “Did you create problems for us on purpose?”

Deng Xiangyun pointed to Lin Wei with a smile: “Although the style is what I thought, the clothes were worn by her children first.”

Lin Wei pointed to Zhao Li and said with a smile, “She asked our whole family to dress up to attend! She also said she wanted to be ranked.”

Zhao Li: “Dare I cheat myself?”

Liu Dan and Yang Yi: “That’s not right!”

The pits are all pitted, what else can I do, bite the bullet and do it. So, Deng Xiangyun’s small class is about to start again.

Because of this episode, Zhao Li voted ahead of schedule, went out and called in all the men who spoke, and explained the voting rules to them clearly.

The rules are very simple. Five families take turns on the stage, and the people below vote. The family with the most votes is the first, and so on.

To be honest, none of the five men wanted to participate in this activity, but the daughter-in-law did not, and the children responded enthusiastically, so they had to bite the bullet.

The voting rules are simple, the process is fast, and the results are obvious.

Because the three children’s new clothes were unanimously loved by the children, the two adults Zong and Zhou were taken away and tied for the first place in the competition. The third place is the Yang Yi family. Except for Qi Tao, they all wore new clothes. Although they were not so clever, the ready-to-wear clothes bought in the supply and marketing cooperatives were all well-made.

As for Liu Dan and Zhao Li’s family, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.

Although it was an informal competition, Zhao Li carefully prepared notebooks and handwritten certificates as prizes.

The notebook was fine, but the certificate of merit that said the first, second, and third place of “Beautiful Family” made the toes of the adults in the room curled up.

But Liu Dan doesn’t think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement, and he says seriously: “How can such an important link be saved? It must be held as usual.”

Lao Zhang also said cheerfully: “Yes, these prizes were carefully prepared by my daughter-in-law.”

Not only did the two unsuccessful families disagree, but the children also disagreed. Among them, Mingming was particularly opposed. This was the first time in his life that he won the award!

Rui Rui, Little Stone, and Yang Yi’s children also opposed the cancellation of the awarding session, and they finally won the award once.

The other children looked enviously at the children who won the award, they also wanted to win the award!

In the end, at the strong request of the children and the unsuccessful families, the awards ceremony continued.

When Lin Wei was holding Mingming, Zong Shao was holding Rui Rui, one of the two children opened the “Pretty Family” first place award certificate, and the other held up the “Pretty Family” first place award notebook to accept the audience’s When applauding and congratulating, there was only one thought left in her mind—

Fortunately, there are no cell phones in this era!
