Kada!
The head of the sewing machine was taken out from the machine belly and locked with a mechanism.
A complete sewing machine appeared in front of everyone.
"Hiss hiss…"
Everyone in the courtyard sucked in a cold breath.
Especially those women and aunties, their eyes were burning with passion.
In this era, only they knew how difficult it was to make clothes.
A piece of clothing, cutting and sewing.
More than 90% of the work was sewing.
For example, the simplest pants would take about an hour to cut, but sewing would take more than a day.
However, it was different with a sewing machine. It was said that the efficiency of a sewing machine could be increased by ten times.
A pair of pants was sewn in an hour or half an hour at most.
Then, he ironed it slightly.
It only took half a day to remove the entire pair of pants.
It was that simple.
"It really is a sewing machine!"
"This sewing machine is exactly the same as what I saw!”
"I know, there are samples in the department store!" Third Aunt said excitedly.”
It had to be said that the most envious person in this courtyard was still Third Aunt!
Why?
Because Third Aunt had a large family, needlework was especially heavy. There were seven or eight people in the family. The gowns, pants, underwear, shoes, and so on were all made by her.
Under the smoky kerosene lamp, she was sewing almost every night.
Sometimes, night blindness was not idle, and he had to sew even if he had to fumble with his hands.
It would be much easier if I could use the sewing machine.
Therefore, Third Aunt was envious.
"Wang Mei, how much did this sewing machine cost?”Third Aunt looked at Wang Mei and asked.
She still had a thought in her heart. She could buy one too.
In the end, the moment the delivery man opened his mouth, Third Aunt was petrified.
"381 sewing machines!”
Hiss hiss…
380!
One was half a year's salary for Old Yan.
What can I buy it with?
The young man instantly added," Sewing tickets from the black market, 500 yuan each!"”
Puff...
Third Aunt almost vomited blood.
500 yuan for one card, that was more than 800 yuan.
Nearly a thousand yuan, who could have the courage to do so?
Even if his family was rich, he couldn't spend it like this!
Everyone looked at Wang Mei. While they were envious, they were also wondering how Wang Mei could get a ticket.
" Cough cough cough…" Third Uncle said,""This is great. In the future, the people in our courtyard will be able to make clothes quickly!”
Great!
He had already regarded the sewing machine as a common object in the courtyard.
"Alright, you guys chat. I'll go install it first!”
The young man followed Wang Mei to the house and placed the sewing machine under the window to face the light outside.
The installation was very simple, just lay it flat.
Then, the little brother tried it and said,"The one above is a small wire rod, and the one below is an enlarged wire rod. The wire can be bought at the department store. In the future, you have to apply oil every six months!”
"Thank you!" Wang Mei tried it and was very satisfied.
In the future, when they made clothes on weekends, the two children would not have to go to the department store to buy ready-made clothes, right?
……
On the other side!
The middle court!
Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, and the others all gathered around the small square table.
Everyone discussed animatedly.
"He's idle most of the time!”Yan Bugui took a sip of water." That won't do. The machine is idle. Isn't that a waste of the machine?" There were only three people in their family. How could they use a sewing machine?”
"First Master, Second Master, what I mean is, let's talk to Wang Mei. In the future, whoever in the quad has a need can use their sewing machine!”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jia Zhang-shi didn't wait for the two masters to express their opinions and said in advance,"The money for the sewing machine is also shared with our Old Merchant's family!”
"What?"
Someone was baffled by Jia Zhangshi's words and asked,""Granny Jia, you paid for her?”
"No!" Jia Zhangshi's face darkened." My son's two hundred yuan pension was given to her. Isn't it equivalent to our family paying for it?"”
"I don't care. In any case, our Old Jia family will be using his machine in the future!”
There were also many people in the Jia family, five of them.
Jia Zhangshi was usually very lazy, so she also had the idea of sewing machines.
"Yes!" Yi Zhonghai nodded and said," It's a pity to let Wang Mei use this machine. She works every day. This week, the machine will be idle for six days. How wasteful is that?"”
"However, we still have to discuss this with Wang Mei. After all, the thing belongs to Wang Mei!”
"That's easy to say!" "Let's have a meeting and vote by a show of hands!" Third Uncle said.”
"Meeting, meeting!" He Yuzhu added,"Get the old lady here and let her talk. Then, this matter will be settled!"”
He Yuzhu was arrested, but he was released today.
As for the follow-up results, they would have to wait until next week.
Therefore, just as Wang Mei's sewing machine was installed and the delivery man left on his tricycle, Yi Zhonghai shouted in the yard.
"It's time for the meeting!"
"Everyone is here for the meeting!"
Crash…
No one dared to miss a meeting.
Wang Mei also quickly pulled her son and daughter over.
If you dare to not participate in this, I'll say that you have a problem with your awareness later.
I won't kill you!
The three old men sat beside the small square table.
Yi Zhonghai sat at the head of the table, while Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong sat on his left and right.
There was a special stool next to it, and on it sat a silver-haired old lady holding a walking stick.
This was the Deaf Old Lady who was known as the 'Sea Steadying Needle' of the Siheyuan.
Originally, before Liu Fan transmigrated, he also thought that the Deaf Old Lady was a good person.
However, when he transmigrated and became a member of the Siheyuan, he realized that the deaf old lady was not a pure good person.
She was indeed good to people.
But that person was He Yuzhu.
She was only protecting He Yuzhu.
" Aiya…" Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said,""Well, didn't Wang Mei buy a sewing machine at home?”
"Everyone is happy to have a sewing machine in our yard!”
"But the problem is that Wang Mei works six days a week, so the sewing machine has to be left idle at home for six days. In order to let the neighbors of the entire Siheyuan use the sewing machine equally, I think Wang Mei, you should express your stance!”
"Wang Mei, what do you think?"
Yi Zhonghai looked at Wang Mei.
Wang Mei frowned.
Liu Fan was about to go crazy with anger,"F * ck you…Why should our neighbors use our sewing machines equally?"
Are you out of your mind?
However, before Wang Mei could say anything, the Deaf Old Lady beside her spoke.
The Deaf Old Lady jabbed the ground with her walking stick and said,""What's there to say? The item belongs to Wang Mei and is also collective. Since it's collective, everyone can use it!”
"How about this? The sewing machine will be in my room. When Wang Mei is not at home in the future, everyone will come to my place to use it!”
