Worn in 1977

Chapter 58 Revealed

When he got up early the next morning, Chen Fan, wearing new clothes, was in trouble.

I am wearing clean new clothes, or a hard-to-find green military uniform, with a brand-new military coat on the outside, and clean rubber-soled Liberation shoes on my feet. It is enough for a blind date, but running out to kill turtles?

What should I do if it gets dirty and smelly?
Wear old clothes. They were washed and not yet dry when you woke up in the morning.If he doesn't wash it, Jiang Lili will definitely wash it for him. It's embarrassing to bother others.

Moreover, he even washed the cotton-padded jacket of unknown owner and returned it to Captain Yang after it was dried.

So I can only go there wearing new clothes?
Tangled ah!
What's even more confusing is that Chen Fan didn't expect that he would be worried about getting his new clothes dirty one day!
Think about future generations, who doesn’t have ten or eight pieces of clothes? Even if the new clothes get dirty, they won’t feel bad. At worst, they will buy a new one.

You've only been here a few days and you've already been assimilated?

When Jiang Lili walked out of the room with something in her arms, she saw Chen Fan squatting under the eaves, his face changing, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange, "What's wrong?"

Chen Fan came to his senses, stood up and said with a smile, "Oh, it's okay."

Then he rolled his eyes slightly, pointed outside and said, "I seem to hear a little noise over there. I was wondering what is going on in the village?"

But I thought to myself, forget it, the new clothes will wear out anyway, so let’s just wear this one today.

Just a bit showy.

When Jiang Lili heard Chen Fan's words, she turned around and took a look. She listened carefully for a while and then said with a smile, "Oh, he planted the telephone pole."

Hearing what she said, Chen Fan remembered that when he went to work in Team 7 yesterday, there were long wooden telephone poles piled at the door of many houses. Those were brought back from the commune to be used. Used for pulling wires and loudspeakers.

It's a pity that I have to go to Team 8 and Team 9 to work today, so I can't see the excitement.

Or you can just go there and watch the fun.

Jiang Lili looked at him, then suddenly took a deep breath and handed the thing in her hand out, "Chen Fan, this is..."

Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, and then it was pushed open with a creak, and Custodian Huang walked in carrying a big cloth bag.

Seeing the two of them, he immediately stopped and frowned, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Lili was so frightened that she retracted her hand, hugged the thing and lowered her head without saying a word.

Chen Fan glanced at her and realized that she was holding a new pair of cotton shoes, but those shoes were obviously not suitable for her little feet.

At this time, he didn't have time to think too much, so he got up and walked towards Custodian Huang, smiling, "Customer Huang is here, come on, come in and sit down."

As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture.

Custodian Huang laughed, "Ah, I won't sit down anymore. We are still busy up there. We have to plant telephone poles today, and we cannot do without people. I have to hurry over."

He gestured to Chen Fan, "Go inside and talk."

When he walked under the eaves, he looked at Jiang Lili, who was still lowering her head, and then at the cotton shoes in her arms, "Are they for Master Chen?"

Jiang Lili's face suddenly turned red and she didn't dare to raise her head, "I, I,..."

When Chen Fan saw it, he quickly smiled and said, "I asked her to help me make this. The weather is getting colder and colder, especially at night. My feet are too cold when I sit in the room and read a book, so I asked Comrade Jiang if she could help me make it." A pair of cotton shoes.

Hello Comrade Jiang, you are a kind-hearted person. You agreed because I felt pity for you. This has just been finished and now you are here to deliver it. "

Custodian Huang nodded suddenly, "Oh, so that's good."

After a pause, he warned Chen Fan, "No matter who asks you, you will always say so." Chen Fan nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I must say so."

Custodian Huang walked into the house again, "Didn't I tell you two days ago that I would make some clothes and shoes for you? Once they are done, I will bring them to you. They are all washed and dried and can be worn directly."

As he said that, he walked to the bed, held up the cloth bag, and poured out a pile of clothes and shoes.

Then he walked to the table and sat down. He took out a small notebook and put it on the table. "Here are a cotton jacket, a pair of cotton trousers, a pair of cotton shoes, two pairs of single clothes, and two pairs of cloth shoes. They are all made of homespun homespun cloth." , not worth much, but warm and comfortable to wear, try it on and sign it for me if you have no problem."

Chen Fan was grinning from ear to ear. He didn't even say a polite word to these things he had agreed to in advance. He immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Hey, I'll give it a try right now."

He immediately took off his military coat and put on his homespun cotton-padded jacket.

Then he held it and turned it around, laughing and saying, "Just right, it's quite suitable."

The cotton-padded jacket is divided into two layers. The inner layer is the core of the cotton-padded jacket, and the outer layer is a blouse. When it is time to wash, you only need to wash the blouse.

Although it is made of homespun cloth, it is not ugly at all. The classic style with blue background and gray pattern will not be out of style in a few decades.It’s just that the homespun fabric is too soft, wrinkles easily, and deforms easily over time, so it doesn’t look good when worn on the body.

But if it is just for work, homespun clothes are just right.

Custodian Huang stood up and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's just a little loose. If the weather gets colder, adding a cotton vest or sweater underneath will be just fine."

He also turned to look at Jiang Lili who was standing at the door, and said meaningfully, "Xiao Jiang can make clothes, right?"

When Jiang Lili heard him talking to her, she suddenly came to her senses and nodded gently, "I can do it."

Ready-made clothes these days are too expensive, costing more than ten yuan or even dozens of yuan a piece, so most people buy cloth and ask a tailor to make it, or simply make it at home.

She watched her mother make clothes since she was a child, and her mother taught her step by step, so she could make clothes naturally.

Custodian Huang smiled and said, "Anyway, you have made him a pair of cotton shoes. He also has cloth and cotton here, so then help him make a cotton vest so that he can wear it and work quickly."

Jiang Lili nodded timidly, "Yeah, okay."

Chen Fan was not polite and said with a grin, "Then I'll trouble Comrade Xiao Jiang."

Custodian Huang immediately looked at him strangely, "You are only 16 and she is 17. You call her Xiao Jiang?"

Chen Fan's face suddenly stiffened, he was so embarrassed that he had let the news slip.

Although Jiang Lili still lowered her head, her eyes were straight, and she secretly glanced at Chen Fan, 16?Not 18?

Custodian Huang looked at the two of them and was too lazy to deal with such trivial matters. He shook his head and said to Chen Fan, "Sign if there is no problem."

Chen Fan quickly came over to sign.

After signing, Custodian Huang put the small notebook in his pocket and walked out in stride.

As soon as he left, Jiang Lili raised her head and stared at Chen Fan with her cheeks puffed out, like a little goldfish.

Chen Fan originally wanted to make a few excuses, but when he saw her like this, he burst into laughter.

Jiang Lili's cheeks glowed, she glared at him, and angrily put her cotton shoes on his bed. When she turned to leave, she passed by him and gave a loud "hum" before leaving with heavy steps.
