After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Ziwen already had a brand new "Butterfly" brand sewing machine in his hand.
Of course, one hundred and twenty-eight yuan was missing from my pocket.
He put the sewing machine on the back seat of the bicycle, tied it tightly, and then pushed the bicycle home.
There are a lot of people on the street now, so it is not suitable to ride a bicycle. Usually he rides after leaving the county.
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen slowed down to avoid damaging the sewing machine.
After all, it is a new thing that I just bought. Even if the paint peels off, I will feel distressed for a long time.
There were some bumps on the road, and Zhou Ziwen reached out to steady the sewing machine from time to time, fearing that it would be damaged in any way.
Although this sewing machine is a bit expensive, for Zhou Ziwen, it is just a matter of an old turtle.
When he thought of how happy the two sisters would be after returning home, he felt it was worth spending no matter how much money he spent.
Because it was a bit slow to go back, by the time he returned to the village entrance, everyone had already finished work.
When Zhou Ziwen was riding a bicycle, the sewing machine on the back seat was extremely conspicuous.
"Oh, Zhou Zhiqing, what good thing did you buy? Is it a sewing machine?"
A villager came up curiously, with envy in his eyes.
"It's a sewing machine. I just bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile, and there was also some pride on his face.
In this day and age, sewing machines are big items and are rarely seen in most homes, let alone buying them.
Especially in the countryside, where you make your own clothes, how can you afford to buy a sewing machine?
"A real sewing machine! This is really a rare thing! It costs a lot of money, right?"
Another villager also gathered around and looked at the sewing machine with wide eyes. .
“It didn’t cost much.” Zhou Ziwen smiled and did not say the specific price. He was afraid that if he spoke out, these people would call him a prodigal son.
“This is a sewing machine. It’s so beautiful.” An aunt touched the sewing machine cautiously, for fear of damaging it.
"Zhou Zhiqing, if your wife knew that you bought a sewing machine, she would be extremely happy. She would be willing to buy such an expensive thing for her."
"Yes, Zhou Zhiqing is really willing. I remember a sewing machine at least It must be more than a hundred!"
...
The villagers talked a lot and cast envious glances at Zhou Ziwen.
In their view, spending so much money on a sewing machine is simply a fantasy.
But Zhou Ziwen bought it, and while scolding him for being a prodigal, he was also very envious.
Especially those little girls who are not married, every one of them regrets it even more.
Had they known that Zhou Ziwen was so rich, they would have rushed to sell it.
Zhou Ziwen responded to the villagers' inquiries with a smile and accepted their envy.
Especially the aunts and ladies, all gathered around the sewing machine to look at it and discussed how it was used.
After the villagers had seen enough, Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle back home.
If it had been when he first came to the countryside, he would never have been so public.
But now, let alone the sewing machine, even if he comes back with a motorcycle one day, the villagers will only praise him for his ability.
That’s how people are, when you are successful, the people around you are good people.
When I got home, as soon as I entered the yard, the two sisters came out of the house.
"Ziwen, you're back!" When Chen Qiaoyi saw Zhou Ziwen, a happy smile appeared on her face.
Her eyes were quickly attracted to the sewing machine on the back seat of the bicycle, "Oh, Brother Ziwen, you bought the sewing machine back! It's so beautiful!"
Chen Shiying also gathered around, Looking at the brand new sewing machine curiously. Seeing the two sisters happy, Zhou Ziwen was also very satisfied: "Well, I happened to be free in the afternoon, so I went to buy it."
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying surrounded The sewing machine looked at it for a while, and then began to discuss how to use the sewing machine.
Although the two sisters had never used a sewing machine before, they were no strangers to its use.
When they were in the city, they often saw their neighbors using sewing machines to make clothes, and occasionally they would go over to help with their feet.
Especially Chen Shiying, she has very skillful hands and is very good at making clothes. Although she has never actually done it, it is not difficult for her.
"Great, Brother Ziwen, I want to help you make clothes." Chen Qiaoyi said excitedly.
"Haha, I like everything you do." Zhou Ziwen chuckled.
Zhou Ziwen was well aware of Chen Qiaoyi's technical level, but he just didn't want to disappoint.
It is estimated that when the clothes are made, she will be embarrassed to take them out.
Chen Shiying looked at her sister with interest: "Yiyi, are you sure you want to make clothes for Ziwen? Don't waste fabrics!"
When Chen Qiaoyi heard this, she was immediately unconvinced. . "Sister, don't underestimate me, I will definitely make Brother Ziwen's clothes beautiful."
Zhou Ziwen saw that the two sisters were starting to quarrel again, so he watched from the side.
After they finished making trouble, they said with a smile: "Sister, what are we going to eat today? Let's cook first, and then we'll study this after we finish eating."
"I'm going to cook right now. What do you think?" Do you want something to eat?" Chen Shiying left the arrangements for dinner to Zhou Ziwen.
“Just eat whatever you want.” Zhou Ziwen is not very picky about food. As long as there is meat, he can eat anything.
“Where is Yiyi?” Chen Shiying turned to ask her sister. "I can do either."
Chen Qiaoyi tilted her head and thought for a while. She had difficulty choosing, so she simply stopped choosing.
"Then eat the big herring in the tank! It tasted pretty good last time." Chen Shiying suggested.
"Okay, let's eat the big herring and I'll take care of it." Zhou Ziwen rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook with Chen Shiying.
"Then I'll pick the vegetables." Chen Qiaoyi raised her hand actively.
“Okay.”
The three of them worked together and quickly became busy.
In the kitchen, Chen Shiying cooks skillfully, Zhou Ziwen helps, and Chen Qiaoyi happily picks vegetables. The three of them work together in a tacit understanding. The sound of spatulas, chatter and laughter are intertwined, and the whole courtyard is filled with a warm atmosphere.
Just after dinner, Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao from next door came over to visit.
"Where is Zhou Chaoyang? Where did he go?" Zhou Ziwen saw that Zhou Chaoyang didn't come, so he asked.
"He! After dinner, he ran to the Educated Youth Courtyard. It was lively there."
Shen Zhaodi replied casually, and she had already moved to the sewing machine in the middle of the yard. Played with curiously.
"Wow, this sewing machine is so beautiful. Sister Shiying, how do you use this? Please teach me."
That is to say, Shen Zhaodi has a generous personality, and she also knows that she is actually the third party. I felt a little guilty for Chen Qiaoyi, a good sister.
If someone else had seen Zhou Ziwen buying a sewing machine, he would have been jealous.
It is precisely because of this generous character that Zhou Ziwen loves her very much.
Every night I go to be a flower picker.
Nourish this delicate flower.
My family bought a new sewing machine, and the girls were playing with it in novel ways.
Zhou Ziwen was bored, so he simply took Xiaodian to the ginseng field to check the growth of ginseng. (End of this chapter)
