Chapter 61: Too good to her
Shen Ruomei was stunned when she heard this. How did the topic turn to changing the fabric? But she couldn't change it. She really needed it. The Shen family didn't have much of anything, just a lot of people, but they really had few clothes.
As far as the original clothes are concerned, they are quite good. Zhang Chunniang loves her daughter. Shen Ruomei can get a new top or trousers at least every year. There are also other clothes that have not been made for several years.
If Xie Kai said something else, Shen Ruomei might still refuse, but she really couldn't refuse clothes. Even if she barely had clothes to wear, there were still several little ones at home who had no clothes to wear.
It took another three years of sewing and mending. This was not something she said casually. As far as she knew, the clothes she could no longer wear were for several little nieces in the family. The little nieces passed on one after another, and in the end no one who wore them could find the original ones. The fabric is covered with various patches.
Modern assembling is called individuality. In this era, if you can’t patch it up, it’s cut from some shabby clothes. Anyway, you just put them together one by one. Because they have been worn for many years, the quality of those clothes is also very poor. A little hooking and a little force may cause damage. Collapse.
Fortunately, Shen Ruomei doesn't have such clothes, otherwise she would collapse. In fact, she doesn't like Xianghe's clothes now. They are tacky and ugly, but compared to clothes, she pays more attention to eating. of.
But she hasn't repaid Xie Kai yet, and she still owes Xie Kai a favor. If this goes on, the more she owes her, the more she owes her.
"It's so confusing, but you don't have to worry about it. Helping you is actually helping me. My friend works in a textile factory and can get defective products from the factory. It doesn't take much effort for them, but some vegetables in the village They can't buy melons and fruits, so I helped both sides and got two favors." Xie Kai thought for a while and explained. He didn't know why he didn't like Shen Ruomei. She figured things out very clearly with him and always felt like this. They are far apart and not like friends.
Shen Ruomei smiled bitterly in her heart when she heard this. Xie Kai really treated her as a child. Fabrics are in great demand at this time. Even defective products are rare and good. Even if there are defective workers in the factory, You can't get it, and it's also a good thing to do as a favor. If you don't have connections, you can't buy these defective products even if you have money. As for vegetables and the like, it's relatively easy for people in the city to buy vegetables if they have money. These days The annual grain output is still relatively stable. Although it is still difficult, it is much better than those three years. Most of the food can be bought with money. Comparing the two, the difference is huge.
"Then I won't be polite to you. My family really needs fabrics." Shen Ruomei hesitated and nodded. She still wanted the things, but she was even more urgent about developing a chicken farm. If things like factories were It is a good thing, so meat is also a rare thing in this era. When chicken farms are opened, they can exchange things with those factories in the county.
Also, the gap between her and Xie Kai is a bit big now. Even if she wants to return the favor, she still can't. If she works harder, it will be easier for her to do anything she wants to do in the future when she has status and money. For example, she can think She can find a way to bring Uncle Xie Kai's family to her own chicken farm. If they work under her nose, she can feel more at ease.
"Why are you so polite? It's not that difficult for me, so I just open my mouth." Xie Kai smiled, and he was very happy that Shen Ruomei could accept his help.
"By the way, when are you going to study with Zhang Hongxing? He said he can teach you for three months. He will only have time to teach you after work, so you will not be able to go home. That means you have to Where do you live in the county? When Zhang Hongxing says that you are his distant niece, you can live with his daughter. You have to bring your own food and other food. Do you think there is any problem?" Xie Kai couldn't help but ask.
"It's no problem. I'll talk about it when I go home first, and then ask for leave from the village chief." Shen Ruomei thought for a while and said, as for whether to spend three months, it depends on the study situation. It is inconvenient to live in someone else's house. She wanted to finish studying and go home quickly.
"Well, you don't have to be afraid. I'll take you there when you go. When you go, study hard. Don't worry about anything else. If the Zhang family looks down on you, just tell me." Xie Kai said.
As for the question of whether Zhang Hongxing would hide his secrets and not teach seriously, Xie Kai thought about it for a moment and let it go. Normally, he would not dare. After all, if Zhang Hongxing took the money and did not teach seriously, he would be able to find trouble for him later. The only thing The bad thing is that you have to live in the other person's house, and you worry that the other person's family will not like Shen Ruomei.
"Well, you arranged it very well, I don't have any problem." Speaking of chicken raising technology, it is actually more suitable for the Shen brothers to find one, but Shen Ruomei is worried that her brother is out of tune, and the other thing is that she is responsible for this matter. First, it would be a joke if she didn't know anything by herself, so it would be better for her to learn on her own and come back to teach her brothers at home.
Since Xie Kai dared to let her go to the other party's home, he was sure of the other party's character, otherwise he wouldn't have done this.
It's a pity that they don't have a home in the county, otherwise it would be best to go home. They don't have any money, so everything is just a fantasy.
Houses in the county are also very tight. Houses in this era were not built very high. The most three-story houses were considered very high. Many of them were one-story houses, so a dozen or so people from a large family were crowded into one or two rooms. Inside, and few people are selling their houses at this time, so I really can only think about it.
"That's good. If you feel something is inappropriate, you must say it. Don't wrong yourself. Everything can be discussed," Xie Kai said.
Shen Ruomei nodded, many things can indeed be discussed, but money can't be discussed, so those who don't have money should save their money.
Xie Kai talked to Shen Ruomei for a long time before leaving. Shen Ruomei looked at Xie Kai who was walking away. Xie Kai seemed to be too kind to her. She was a bit Muggle now and didn't know what to do.
In modern times, she dare not say that Qianfan has gone too far, but she has seen a lot of interactions between men and women. Now there is no ambiguity between her and Xie Kai, it is a very normal friendship, but in this era, there are some It was different, but she didn't think Xie Kai liked her, but the two of them had quite a lot of contact.
