SIAS Chapter 170.1

“No, I’m a girl. I can’t let him, a grown man, beat me in sewing clothes!” Yi Qingqing’s desire to win suddenly came up.

She would like Yun Guyuan to feel that the clothes and shoes she made are beautiful, practical, and comfortable to wear, and be completely conquered by her craftsmanship.

Suddenly, the motivation to make clothes came up.

Yi Qingqing smoothed out the pinched cotton thread and took out a ruler from the sewing tools in her personal space.

This thing could not be taken outside, so she could only measure it with cotton thread, mark it, and then use a ruler to measure the length of the cotton thread.

She measured carefully and wrote down Yun Guyuan’s body data in a small notebook.

Although she was a little embarrassed just now, fortunately, it didn’t interfere with her business.

Although she only planned to make an inner jacket and a pair of cotton shoes, she measured his arm length, shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference, leg length, shoe size, and other measurements.

She really had no good feelings except for her hip circumference.

But considering the waist circumference and leg length, it won’t be too different even if she makes pants later.

Having already done it once for herself and practiced it many times in the sewing skills teaching mode, Yi Qingqing is now an expert at making inner jackets and shoes.

But in order to avoid any mistakes, she went to Grandma Hua to design the sizes of her clothes and shoes and asked her to help check them, being extremely cautious.

From noon of that day until the next evening, she stayed in the thatched hut making clothes and shoes.

With a sewing machine, it is indeed much faster. The most laborious stage of manual work is sewing, while cutting is very fast.

She managed to finish a rabbit fur cotton-padded inner jacket and a pair of rabbit fur-lined cotton shoes before going to bed the next day.

In order to ensure that it was in perfect condition when it was sent out, Yi Qingqing tried to fold it many times and finally folded it into a neat, symmetrical tofu block with the shoes placed on top.

“Well, perfect!” Yi Qingqing looked left and right and was finally satisfied.

She carefully carried the tofu block out of the room and placed it on the empty space next to her pillow at the head of the kang. She was afraid that the dust from the roof would dirty it, so she took a piece of new newspaper and covered it with clothes.

You have to know that she usually didn’t take such fine care when she slept. She also covered the top of the sleeping area with a layer of cloth, making a simple cover, so it was impossible for dust to fall directly into it.

Feeling that everything was safe, Yi Qingqing finally went to bed peacefully, planning to give it to him early the next morning when no one was around.

Today is the day for distributing food to the team. Except for people like Li Mengxue, who have no worries about food and drink, everyone in the village has actually gotten up early. Those who have carts push their carts, and those who don’t have carts have their whole families go out to collect food.

It’s also the same for the educated youth. Because they are all alone in the countryside, they earn their own food.

Because they were all city dwellers before and had done little farm work, they were not used to working in the fields when they first arrived. Even if they adapted later, they were not as capable as the villagers who were born, raised there, and had helped in the fields since childhood, so they earned fewer work points.

When the food was distributed, there was naturally less, and there was often not enough to eat!

Those whose family conditions are good can rely on their families for some help, but those whose family conditions are poor and who cannot work on their own may have to starve.

That was why so many ambitious educated youth, who went to the countryside in those years, gave up their unrealistic arrogance, chose to bow to reality, married the country people they originally looked down upon, and borrowed the family influence to ensure that they could have enough food to eat and live a more relaxed life.
