Since the old lady wanted to go back to Chen's house, Qiaolian naturally couldn't stop her, so early the next morning, she sent Jiakang back to Chen's house to tell Chen Minsheng.

Chen Minsheng hurriedly went to the commune to borrow a carriage and drove the carriage to pick up the old lady.

In the past, when the old lady wanted to go home, Qiaolian would prepare a lot of food for her, but now in this situation, the Qu family does not have much food on the surface.

Besides, Qu Weiyang hasn't been at home for the past few days, and Qiaolian can't take out some food.

So I had to pack up the remaining noodles and a few eggs at home for the old lady to carry, and I got two pieces of fabric for the old lady.

"Mother, this year's situation is special, and I really don't have anything to bring you.

When Viyan comes back in a few days, I'll buy my mother some snacks and malt milk and stuff.

If the food in the canteen is not palatable, the mother will eat some noodles by herself, and she can't go hungry. ”

Qiaolian also felt that there were too few things to take, and she really couldn't take them, but there were really no other homes, and she didn't have anything to take if she wanted to.

"No, no, I don't know what's going on at home?

You have three smaller ones here, they gave me food, what do they eat?

Keep it, I can't eat anywhere, and your eldest brother won't leave me alone. ”

The old lady also knows that the situation is different from before, where is she willing to ask for the things of her daughter's house?

"It's okay, mother, isn't Jiakang on vacation?

Tomorrow I will ask him to go to the county to buy some fine grain and come back, and the family has food stamps and money.

Wei Yang hasn't received his supplies this month, so he just needs to go and get them back.

Besides, Jiakang and they are on vacation, and when they go to the forest to set up a cover, they can always get some game.

There is no shortage of food at home, and my mother can rest assured. Qiao Lian insisted, packed up all the things, and gave them to the old lady to take.

In this way, Chen Minsheng helped the old lady take a few bags and put them in the car, Qiaolian and Jiayuan helped the old lady to get into the car, and covered the old lady's legs and body with a quilt.

"Big brother, let's go, slow down on the road, be careful not to disturb our mother, when I am free, I will go to see you."

The old lady has lived at home for several years, and suddenly wants to leave, and Qiaolian is also a little reluctant.

Chen Minsheng nodded, "Don't worry, I have a number, and I will take the children back often when I am free."

Anyway, you don't have anything to do now, go back and let's get together.

Okay, I'm leaving, you go home, it's a cold day. After speaking, Chen Minsheng flicked his whip and drove away.

Qiaolian and the children stood at the door, waving to the old lady until the carriage was far away and out of sight, then turned around and went home.

"Mom, I led the second brother and the third brother into the mountain, let's go to the mountain to make a condom and pick up firewood along the way.

I've heard people say that the Xianrenqiao Railway Canteen, when collecting firewood, needs trees, and it is weighed in catties.

There is no need to rehearse this year, and it's okay to be idle, so it's better to go into the mountains and cut down trees, and sell them to the railway canteen when the time comes. ”

Jiakang's child has a very successful life, and he has already planned it during the holidays.

Therefore, as soon as the old lady left, he immediately took the rope and saw and other tools, and planned to go into the mountains.

Qiao Lian had also heard about the railway canteen collecting firewood, but she never thought about it, because the family was not short of money, so there was no need to bother with those thoughts.

I didn't expect Jiakang to think of this, this kid, I guess I thought that Qiaolian didn't go to work and had no salary, and the family had a hard time, so he wanted to make money.

It's good that the child has this heart, and Qiaolian doesn't want to dampen the child's enthusiasm.

Anyway, the winter vacation is long, and there is nothing else to do, as long as the children can arrange things themselves, she doesn't have to let the children stay at home.

"Okay, you can look at the arrangement, anyway, don't delay your homework.

You're in your second year of junior high school now, so remember that schoolwork matters. Qiao Lian only said two words, and then she didn't care anymore.

Jia Kang nodded in agreement, and then led Jia Junjia and Ah Huang Ah Ash away.

Although Ah Huang Ah Ash is a little old and usually doesn't like to move much, he likes to go out with Jiakang very much.

As soon as the two dogs heard Jiakang shouting at them, they immediately ran happily with Jiakang and the three.

"Mom, my brother and they have entered the mountain, what are we doing?" Jiayuan followed Qiaolian into the house and couldn't help but ask.

"Make clothes, just take advantage of this time to be idle, let's make New Year's clothes.

Haven't you always wanted to learn how to cut with me? Isn't there a chance this time?

Come, you and your brother are both grown, and I must make you clothes.

Jia Junjia and these two fur boys have also grown a lot this year, and they will make you a new set of clothes for the New Year. ”

Qiao Lian smiled and opened the cabinet and rummaged through the fabrics to make clothes for the children.

After the supply of tickets, the countryside also issued tickets, and each person has a fixed number of cloth tickets for a year.

Qiaolian usually changes the fabric from the system, and rarely uses the cloth tickets, and most of the cloth tickets in their family are given to others by her.

There are not as many fabrics at home as before, and they are basically in line with the quantity supplied.

Of course, this is only on the surface, in fact, the fabrics are stored in the portable warehouse, and you can just take them out when you use them.

Qiaolian rummaged through the cabinet and found several pieces of fabric.

The daughter's choice was a pink top and blue pants, and the eldest son's was a navy blue set.

The two youngest sons make dark green, this color is very good-looking, and the two babies must be spiritual when they wear them.

As for Jiasheng Jiaxiang's two small ones, basically they don't have to do it, Jiajun Jiahe's clothes were quite new at the beginning, just put them away, just find them out and wear them.

Now at this time, the fabric is tight, and the whole family is making new clothes, which looks too conspicuous.

As for Qiao Lian and Qu Weiyang, they didn't make new clothes last year, so forget it this year.

Qu Weiyang's unit is issued with a set of work clothes every year, and he usually wears work clothes, and his own clothes are worn when he goes out.

I used to make several sets of clothes for Qu Weiyang, all of which are quite new, so I will wear them.

Needless to say, the clothes that Qu Weiyang bought for her in the past were all brand new, why do you make so many clothes?

Nowadays, what is advocated is hard work and simplicity, not extravagance and waste.

The two mothers took out the fabric, compared it with each other, and it should be enough.

Then Qiaolian took out the chalk and ruler and began to draw the cropping.

While painting, Qiaolian also told Jiayuan about it.

Here's a fraction of a waistline, a fraction of a hip plus an inch there, or here's a shoulder width plus how much, and there's a half plus a few inches of the bust.

Qiaolian taught very seriously, and Jiayuan listened very carefully.

While listening, I took a pen and paper and learned to draw on the side.

This girl is smart and has reduced the crop according to a certain proportion, Qiao Lian couldn't help but smile when she looked at the crop drawn by Jiayuan.

"You girl, you really learn everything fast, and you're smarter than when I was a child.

Okay, learn a little, when you go out, I'll accompany you with a sewing machine and a sewing machine, and then you can make the clothes you like. ”

"Mom, how old am I, you think I'm going out?" When Jia Yuan heard this, she smiled bitterly.

"Time flies, you're thirteen, how far are you from twenty?

Oh, when I think about it, I seem to be twenty-nine after the New Year, and I am almost thirty years old. ”
