Chapter 198 The stone falls to the ground
Meng Yulan heard the noise and came out of the house. She immediately saw the large item tied to the back seat of her son’s bicycle.

Sewing machine!
“Oh! Sewing machine!” Meng Yulan exclaimed in surprise and immediately walked quickly to the sewing machine.

This is a Shanghai Feiren brand sewing machine, with the big head facing downwards fixed to the back seat of a bicycle with a rope. Judging from the design, it is much more advanced than the one Wang Jianguo owns.

“Hehe, I went into the city to deliver some goods, and asked my friend. It happened that there was a ticket left, so I took the ticket to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought the sewing machine! This is a sample machine, and I know the salesperson at the counter. I got a discount and saved a lot of money!” Yue Feng said to his mother with a smile.

“How much did it cost?” Meng Yulan touched here and looked there, and couldn’t let go of the sewing machine.

“The invoice was 237 yuan. Because it was a sample, I saved 17 yuan, plus the ticket fee of 55 yuan, the total amount was 275 yuan!” Yue Feng said truthfully.

“It’s a little expensive, but Flying Man is a big brand, so just buy it! Come, let me help you hold on while we unload the sewing machine and move it into the house.”

“Okay!” Yue Feng responded, and the mother and daughter immediately got busy.

It took a lot of effort to get the sewing machine onto the car. There was a cardboard box underneath, and it was tied up with layers of ropes. Yue Feng and his mother struggled to untie the ropes, then worked together to gently move the sewing machine down and carried it into the house.

The house was small, so a sewing machine was carried into the east room and placed under the window near the south wall.

This sewing machine is a folding style. When not in use, the machine head can be turned upside down on the belly of the machine. When in use, you only need to open the cover to turn the machine head over. The style is very novel and the workmanship is extremely fine.

Now, Meng Yulan didn’t even bother to cook a meal. She immediately learned needlework and thread, then stepped on the footstool to try out the new item in the house.

Meng Yulan is a person with very dexterous hands. Now that the equipment has been upgraded, the effect of her sewing has been improved to a much higher level visibly to the naked eye.

The hand-sewn cuffs with auspicious cloud patterns originally looked pretty good, but after getting the sewing machine, Meng Yulan no longer liked it and immediately took out a pair of scissors to take it apart and sew it again.

When Yue Feng saw it, he hurriedly snatched the sleeves away.

“Mom, what are you doing? The sleeves are already made!”

“The stitches here are not as straight as those from a sewing machine. I’ll take it apart and redo it! It’s still great to have a sewing machine. It can be done in no time and won’t delay dinner!”

To be honest, Meng Yulan has wanted this sewing machine for a long time, but she always felt that it was not easy for her son to earn money, and a sewing machine was a big item. If she bought it now, it would be old by the time her son got married. It would be better to save the money for the time being and buy a new one together after they got married. Then her daughter-in-law would not be able to find any fault with it.

But I didn’t expect that after I talked to my son about it a few words during the day, he would buy the sewing machine immediately after returning from delivering goods to the city in the evening.

This efficiency is unmatched.

“Don’t you think it’s more meaningful to give it to someone as a gift because it’s made by hand? You can make a new one, or just order some new cloth. We won’t take apart this one! I like the dense stitches very much!” Yue Feng couldn’t help but sigh.

In his previous life, he had experienced the years of the light industry boom. An ordinary T-shirt cost only a few yuan or tens of yuan. People would change into new clothes when the season changed and would not feel bad about throwing it away. Moreover, with large-scale industrial production, stitches had long been the product of professional sewing machines, but Yue Feng was not too interested in it.

But the feeling is different when it comes to things that are sewn by mother with her own hands. Even if you don’t give it to others, it is a good thing to keep for yourself.

“Okay, then listen to me, my eldest son! Let’s eat first, and after dinner, we’ll turn on the light and study this new sewing machine!” Meng Yulan nodded and put down the scissors in her hand.

After the big addition to the house, mom and dad had hard-to-conceal smiles on their faces, and Yue Feng really enjoyed this feeling.

Perhaps this is the happiness that comes after it is materialized, Yue Feng thought secretly in his heart.

During the meal, in addition to talking about buying a sewing machine, my parents soon started talking about my younger sister Jingjing sending a wild chicken to Wang Xiaona to flatter Yue Feng’s girlfriend.

After listening to the general situation, Yue Feng was suddenly in a state of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

You said to bear a lot of Jingjing, right? Jingjing is doing a serious job, it’s not worth it to bear people!
You agree? To Yue Feng, this kind of thing seemed a bit childish and taken for granted.

However, through Yaomei’s test this time, Yue Feng also got the information he wanted.

It seems that Wang Xiaona has no objection to being in a relationship with me, so things are heading in a good direction.

……

On the other side, on the dining table of Wang Jianguo’s house, the daughter brought home a plucked pheasant, which also attracted the attention of Zhang Cuilian and Wang Jianguo. Wang Xiaona wanted to make a big deal out of it and not tell her parents, but the big-mouthed Wang Mingyu excitedly exaggerated the matter of his brother-in-law sending Jingjing to deliver the pheasant to her sister, and told her parents everything.

In comparison, Wang Jianguo and Zhang Cuilian were relatively calm.

Although it sounds a bit absurd to ask the youngest sister to deliver something, it at least shows that Xiaofeng has finally figured it out.

And judging from Wang Xiaona’s calm performance, it seems that her reaction was good and her mentality was stable.

“Xiao Na, your mother has mentioned the matter with Xiao Feng to you, and you agreed. If Xiao Feng takes the initiative to flatter you or contact you in the future, you must not be too pushy.

You should be a little reserved and respond to others when you should, otherwise they will be too enthusiastic and will cool down after a while!”

Wang Jianguo picked up the pheasant’s claws with chopsticks and took a bite, then took a sip of white wine happily, and then said meaningfully.

The girl herself knows her nickname. Wang Xiaona has been a good and worry-free child since she was young. However, when facing the opposite sex, she is a little bit reserved, which is the so-called reservedness.

This reserve was influenced by the background of the times and personal factors. The general environment was not as open as that of later generations. Many young men and women of the same age were introduced to each other by matchmakers, and they felt good about each other. Then their parents arranged the engagement soon, and they got married not long after.

In the eyes of his father Wang Jianguo, Wang Xiaona is the type of person who is a little reserved and can’t face anything. If this situation is too serious and beyond the normal level, it may cause resistance or wild thoughts from the man.

Wang Jianguo has taken a liking to Yue Feng as his son-in-law, so he is talking to his daughter.

“Dad, what are you talking about! We haven’t even started yet!” Wang Xiaona lowered her head, her face a little red.

“Whether it’s a clue or not, how can your mother and I not know? Just wait, it won’t be long before Yue Lei and his wife will come to our house to talk about Xiaofeng’s marriage with you!” Wang Jianguo said confidently.

Indeed, if both families are willing, the one who will take the initiative to bring it up will definitely be the boy’s parents. If one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will ask for her. This is how the tradition has been passed down from the older generation.

“I just turned 20 after the Chinese New Year. Are you and my mother so anxious to marry me off?” Wang Xiaona asked again.

Wang Jianguo smiled and shook his head: “20 is indeed not too old, and there is no need to rush to set a date for marriage immediately. Just set the date first and then you can take your time to get along! There is no rush to get married after getting along for a year or two!
My wife’s family still lives in the old house. If they want to marry my daughter, they must build a new house, right?
When the time comes, I will pick a good homestead for Xiaofeng’s family. If that doesn’t work out, our family can help out with some money. After we build a new house, if you have a baby, your mother, your parents-in-law, and I can help you take care of the child!”

Wang Jianguo’s talk went on and on, and after a few sips of wine, he even began to think about having a grandson in a few years.

“Oh! Mom! Please take care of my dad!” The red clouds on Wang Xiaona’s face became even darker.

“Silly girl, you are not marrying far away. It only takes a few minutes to walk from our home to Xiaofeng’s home! Even if you get married, you can come back whenever you want! When the succession of the forest farm is settled, life at home will be better!

Although what your father said may sound embarrassing, they are all serious matters!
Marry a man and you will have clothes and food! Xiaofeng brought people up the mountain and made a lot of money this winter. Even the poor families of Xiaowen and Xiaowu set up tables to collect tea money. You know what his family was like before he followed Yuefeng to fly eagles! Most of this is Xiaofeng’s ability!
Your father and I are not in a hurry now. Let’s settle your marriage. What if he meets a girl he likes? If someone steals her away, you will be so upset that you won’t be able to cry!”

“Okay, okay, you are all right! I will obey the organization’s arrangements!” Wang Xiaona stopped arguing with her parents, blushed, lowered her head to eat, and accepted the reality.

In fact, Wang Xiaona is so smart, how could she not know the truths her parents said?

However, due to the limitations of age and experience, as well as the restrictions on relationships between men and women imposed by the times, Wang Xiaona is a little bit uncomfortable with the current situation.

As for Yue Feng, when Wang Xiaona heard Jingjing say in the evening that her brother liked her, she was happy in her heart. To exaggerate a little, she was cheering deep in her heart.

Since this autumn, Yue Feng has been releasing hawks to hunt in small enclosures and has been having conflicts with the Zhu and Zhou families in the village. In all these things, Wang Jianguo, the village secretary, has been coordinating the balance of power among the various parties.

Wang Xiaona had heard a lot of praise for Yue Feng from her father, and her impression of Yue Feng gradually improved from not paying much attention to him at the beginning.

People all admire the strong, and this is true for both men and women. Yue Feng can handle every crisis perfectly and can also make money with his friends. This is enough to prove his personal ability.

In addition, Yue Feng is not short, has a handsome appearance, a good temper, respects the elderly and loves the young, and is responsible. Whether in software or hardware, he can be considered outstanding among his peers in the village.

In Wang Xiaona’s eyes, all these information have converged into an increasingly clear image of an excellent partner. Her parents were right. This man can be relied on and has the ability to give the future family a better life.
