In order to let Chen Zhaodi see with her own eyes that her sewing skills, which were said to have perfect scores, were edible, Liu Xinyu didn't even eat breakfast and sat down directly in front of the sewing machine.

What makes Liu Xinyu feel fortunate is that even if the Liu family is curious, they will not touch Liu Xinyu's things at will.

Although the fabric cut for Zhang Hongyun has been placed on the sewing machine, it has not been touched.

Zhang Hongyun's piece of cloth needs to be hemmed first.

There is no dedicated hemming machine here, you can only use a sewing machine for hemming.

The sewing machine can lock the edges, but it is more troublesome. Fortunately, this does not trouble Liu Xinyu.

Adjust the stitch wrench to make the stitch smaller, and the cloth feeding direction is horizontal.

When walking forward, put down the presser foot like normal sewing, feed the fabric with your left hand, move the cloth slightly diagonally forward for a few stitches, and then use the backstitch method, lift the presser foot with your right hand and go backward for a few stitches.

Repeating this way will form a zigzag stitch, and the edges will be locked.

Liu Xinyu's skillful technique obviously shocked Chen Zhaodi and left her dumbfounded.

Liu Xinyu just pretended not to see Chen Zhaodi's appearance, picked up the second piece of cloth and prepared to continue sewing.

When the steady sound of the sewing machine "click, click, click" sounded again, Chen Zhaodi finally woke up: "When will you learn?"

Liu Xinyu's skill is even more slippery than Tailor Lin's, and it definitely can't be learned in a day or two, or even in a year or two.

Liu Xinyu's family bought this sewing machine last winter, and Chen Zhaodi even came to scold Liu Qingshan for spending money carelessly.

How did Liu Qingshan respond to her at that time?

"Xinyu will graduate from high school next year, and I can't bear to let her follow me to work in the fields. I just have some money, so I can buy her a machine. After she graduates, I will let her sew and mend things at home."

These are Liu Qingshan’s original words.

Obviously at that time, Liu Xinyu probably didn't know how to use a sewing machine, and Liu Qingshan certainly didn't know how to use it either.

Since Liu Qingshan said he would wait until Liu Xinyu graduated from high school before learning tailoring, then he would definitely wait until Liu Xinyu graduated from high school before learning tailoring.

When Liu Qingshan passed away, Liu Xinyu had not graduated for half a year. In other words, before Liu Qingshan passed away, Liu Xinyu had not yet started learning to use a sewing machine. Today was also the first time that Chen Zhaodi saw Liu Xinyu using a sewing machine. So when did Liu Xinyu learn to use a sewing machine?

, and who did you learn it from to become so masterful?

No matter how much Chen Zhaodi thought about it, she never imagined that Liu Xinyu had changed.

He just looked at Liu Xinyu doubtfully.

Of course Liu Xinyu had to give Chen Zhaodi a reasonable explanation.

Fortunately, this explanation is not difficult. Liu Qingshan is very smart and has strong learning and practical skills.

After I bought the sewing machine home, I didn't really put it away. Instead, I consciously followed the instructions. After repeated failures, I finally learned to operate the sewing machine.

After Liu Qingshan learned it, he was not in a hurry to teach Liu Xinyu how to operate a sewing machine.

Although the argument that studying is useless and long live sixty is popular in this era, Liu Qingshan believes that if you go to school, you must study hard, and Liu Xinyu must wait until after graduation to learn sewing.

It turned out that Liu Xinyu really didn't know how to use a sewing machine, let alone cutting.

"Qingshan knows how to use a sewing machine, and has he taught you how to do it?" After hearing Liu Xinyu's explanation, Chen Zhaodi was surprised again.

But Chen Zhaodi soon felt relieved.

Liu Qingshan is her biological son. He has been smart since he was a child and knows everything quickly, so he knows a lot.

In addition to having good skills, he is also good at carpentry and masonry.

A few years ago, the Minqin Brigade had just received electricity, and he became its electrician.

Liu Xinyu is like his father. He has been smarter than other children of the same age since he was a child. He is easy to read and learns things quickly. Of course, he is still not as good as his father.

Liu Xinyu locked four pieces of fabric in succession. Chen Zhaodi finally remembered that Liu Xinyu hadn't had breakfast yet, so she quickly asked her to have breakfast first: "Hurry up and have breakfast. Let's go to town today and ask if anyone needs eels."

Liu Xinyu couldn't help but frowned, but she didn't object directly, showing a worried and timid expression: "Mistress, will someone catch you?"

"Don't worry, there is a way to get milk." Chen Zhaodi pushed the breakfast to Liu Xinyu and said with some pride.

Also, Liu Qingshan would send eels to his parents every year. Liu Xinju said that Chen Zhaodi had all taken the eels in exchange for food, and he was never willing to eat them himself.

In Liu Xinyu's memory, there is indeed no memory of Chen Zhaodi being caught exchanging eels for food. Obviously, as Chen Zhaodi said, she had a way to sell the eels.

As for whether to sell money or exchange for food, it probably depends on the situation.

Catching eels to improve family living conditions was one of Liu Xinyu's plans.

Of course, she doesn't plan to sell them all, she just wants to make her family happy.

After breakfast, Chen Zhaodi took Liu Xinyu to the town.

When leaving the village, I happened to meet Zhang Hongyun who was planning to find Liu Xinyu.

"Grandma Liu, Sister Xinyu, where are you going?" Zhang Hongyun took Liu Xinyu's arm affectionately and asked.

Liu Xinyu had to stop and talk to Zhang Hongyun.

"Ah, you are going to town." Zhang Hongyun was a little disappointed when she learned that Liu Xinyu was going to town.

She originally thought that Liu Xinyu could help her make the clothes today. It was the fabric that her eldest brother personally selected for her. She planned to wear it for everyone to see on the day when her eldest brother and Sister Xinyu were engaged.

Although Liu Xinyu didn't know what Zhang Hongyun was thinking, she didn't miss the disappointment on Zhang Hongyun's face, and guessed that Zhang Hongyun should be anxious about that dress.

So he patted her hand and comforted her: "My grandma and I will go to town to do some errands and we'll be back soon. When we get back, I'll help you make clothes. They'll be ready tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, okay, thank you Sister Xinyu! Second Grandma Liu, Sister Xinyu, be careful all the way, goodbye!" Liu Xinyu always kept her word to Zhang Hongyun. With such words, Zhang Hongyun's face immediately showed a bright smile and said to

Liu Xinyu and Chen Zhaodi waved their hands and skipped home.

The grandfather and grandson didn't delay any longer and hurriedly walked towards the town.

It was only four or five miles from the Minqin Brigade to the town. It was not too far, but it was a bit of a challenge for Liu Xinyu.

It turns out that when Liu Xinyu went to school, Liu Qingshan would usually drive her to and from school. In the past, Xinyu either drove by herself or someone else drove her when she went to school. She was a person who rarely walked long distances on two legs.

Chen Zhaodi was a thin woman, but she was a very good walker. Her steps were so fast that Liu Xinyu had to trot to keep up.

Not long after leaving the village, Liu Xinyu was out of breath and couldn't keep up.

If she had known this, she should have ridden a bicycle.

But think about it, even if she could ride a 28-bar bicycle, she would not dare to take Chen Zhaodi with her.

She had no choice but to shout to Chen Zhaodi who was in front of her, "Mistress, walk slower, I can't keep up!"

Chen Zhaodi slowed down helplessly and turned back to glare at Liu Xinyu with some disgust.
