In that era, each person gained one foot, seven feet and three inches per year.

There was a saying that had been popular for many years, "Is it enough? One foot six", that is, "one foot six feet per person." It was implemented for several years, and then a little more, about one foot seven feet three inches per person per year. This

The number is the highest and it has been implemented for several years.

At that time, the clothes you wore needed cloth tickets, and the quilt you covered needed cloth tickets.

At that time, there were many children in every household. In winter, it was a dream to have a quilt for everyone. It was normal for two or three children to pull one quilt.

At that time, in the winter, when you slept until midnight, you would pull a quilt over, and he would pull it over, and several children would start fighting, and the parents had no choice but to teach the older children a lesson and then go to sleep.

, but after a while, there would be a big fight here, and the parents could only shake their heads and sigh.

At that time, many families would raise sheep. After a year or two of accumulating the sheared wool, they would usually hire a felter to roll it into felt. They would sleep on the kang at night and then roll it up and put it aside during the day.

Although many families raised sheep at that time, they raised relatively few sheep. At that time, every family had only a dozen or so families, and there was simply not enough. Only the elderly could lay out wool felts.

Winter is coming, and it is really cold. Many people will pick some reed flowers and put them on the bed, or put straw on the bed to keep out the cold.

No wonder some women gathered together and said jokingly: "At night, I take off all my clothes, and in the morning, I'm covered in quilts. The old quilt is so heavy that I can't turn over."

At that time, cloth tickets were uniformly issued by the state.

It is issued once a year. Adults are limited to twelve feet of cloth per year, and children are limited to only five or six feet. Twelve feet of cloth can be used to make a suit of clothes, and the cut ends can be used to make a pair of cloth shoes.

At that time, the fabrics were almost all blue khaki, blue gabardine, white fabrics, and denim fabrics. It was impossible to get other kinds of fabrics. Regardless of men or women, they were all made of this kind of fabric.

There are some newly married wives who want to wear a red velvet top, but everyone will envy them. Normally, they are reluctant to wear it. They only wear it during festivals and when visiting relatives.

I change them out as soon as I get home, for fear of wearing them out or getting them dirty.

At that time, everyone wore clothes in a single color, usually blue, green, black, gray, and no other colors.

Everyone’s clothes are also patched one on top of another, everyone is the same anyway.

In this day and age, as long as you dress in a way that doesn't expose your body, there really aren't any other requirements.

At that time, the most difficult thing was the son who was about to get married and start a family. He had to make two new sets of clothes and a new set of bedding. And the girl who was getting married also had to make two sets of wedding dresses. Ordinary families, then

They have to be prepared years in advance. It would be impossible to come up with so many cloth tickets at once.

At that time, generally relatives, friends, and neighbors would help each other. You gave me a foot, and he gave me a foot or two. If you help me, I will help you in the future.

Everyone looked at the cloth on Liu Chen's table. It was not a cloth ticket. It was the cloth that everyone wanted in their dreams. It was too much.

This much cloth is enough for many families. This boy is so lucky. Liu Jiefang and Wang Mudan have really found a good son.

"Brother, you did all this? Are they really from my family?"

Youdi just came back from work and picked up some pigweed. She just came back now and saw the sewing machine and the cloth on the table. She was trembling with excitement as she spoke.

"Youdi, yes, this really belongs to your family. Liu Chen got it all."

Gu Wanjun walked to Youdi and said with a smile.

Youdi held Gu Wanjun's hand. Sister Wanjun had not been here for a long time, and she really missed her.

Youdi didn't speak any more, she just smiled, kept smiling, and held Gu Wanjun's hand tightly, feeling extremely happy in her heart.

"Captain Liu, what are you doing?" Liu Hongwu said.

"I'm going to see if that guy Liu Chen is back? I should be able to give out eel money tonight. I haven't paid for it for several days." Captain Liu took a puff from his pipe and pot and said.

"I also went to find that guy Liu Chen. I heard from my mother-in-law that he bought a sewing machine."

"What? That kid bought a sewing machine?"

After Captain Liu heard what Liu Hongwu said, he was so excited that the decibel level was much higher.

Captain Liu quickened his pace, thinking to himself, this guy, he is so good at making a little money. He just got a TV set a few days ago, a generator, a rice cooker, and now a sewing machine.

What does this kid want to do? Is he planning to get a wife? No, this kid doesn’t have a partner either.

"Let's go, Hongwu, walk faster and go and see. This guy is quite capable. He can actually make a sewing machine."

Who doesn't want this sewing machine? You can't just get it if you want it. I am the leader of a team. After so many years, the ticket for the sewing machine has not been in my turn, but this kid can actually get it.

"Damn it, why don't I have any good relatives in the city?" Captain Liu said and actually cursed.

Soon, Captain Liu and Liu Hongwu arrived at the door of Liu Chen's house.

When I first arrived at the door, I saw that Liu Chen's yard was densely packed with people, and the living room was even more crowded.

"Captain Liu is here."

I don't know who shouted, and everyone gave way.

"Captain Liu, you're here. Come on, sit inside." Liu Chen hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile.

He motioned to Huzi to find a stool, and all the other stools were occupied by the elders.

How could Captain Liu still want to sit down? The bag under his eye was so tight that he was about to slap it on Liu Chen's head.

This guy doesn't take his money seriously. He doesn't have a partner yet. He has a TV, a motorcycle, a radio, and a rice cooker all ready. People who get married don't have these.

"Did you buy this sewing machine?"

"yes?"

"Isn't this cheap?"

"It's not expensive, the second uncle doesn't want it, it's only a hundred yuan."

When everyone heard that it was 100 yuan, they all sighed. This is not expensive. This is what many people earn for a year, and some people don't even have 100 yuan.

"Oh my god, you got this cloth too? Why are there so many?" Captain Liu was just looking at the sewing machine. Who said sewing machines are not cheap, but Liu Chen is rich, and his second uncle used the leftovers.

Yes, it’s not easy for him to say anything?

Many people present hated that they did not have an all-powerful second uncle like Liu Chen.

Captain Liu saw the cloth and was so shocked that he almost dropped the pipe stem to the ground.

"Oh my god, is this cloth?"

Liu Hongwu also couldn't believe it. What kind of magical figure was this? How could he get so much cloth in this era?

Nowadays, the state allocates cloth in a rationed quantity and cannot be bought and sold privately. How could Liu Chen get so much cloth?

"You said you really got this cloth?"

"Well, I have a friend who is the director of a textile factory. These cloths are supplied to the army. They are defective products that cannot be wanted. I will take his life and he gave these to me."

Liu Chen closed his eyes and said, anyway, he believed it, but as for others, it was up to him to believe it or not.

When everyone walked in and took a look, there was no bad cloth here. This was plain cotton.

Liu Chen deliberately opened some, only to see a few holes inside, and strips of tears. These were probably torn when Liu Chen came here, just because he was afraid that if others saw it, he could justify himself.

.

"That's right. I saved someone's life. It's okay to give these cloths. Anyway, they can't be supplied to the troops. They were eliminated. It will be no problem to make them into clothes." Captain Liu nodded and said with a smile.

In fact, Captain Liu thought to himself that there were more than a dozen people in his family, and the quilts at home were not enough to cover him. His eldest son and second son would still often give suggestions, but he also wanted to make more beds, but he had no cloth tickets and couldn't pull the cloth.

This matter was let go.

"My fourth sister is getting engaged in a few days. I have to prepare a few more quilts for her, at least four. I also need to make a few new clothes. There are also several other sisters.

Everyone needs to make a new set of clothes, these may not be enough." Liu Chen said a lot in one breath.

The eyes of everyone present were about to pop out. Oh my god, this is so awesome.

Nowadays, a dowry for a wedding can only have two quilts at most, and some only have one. Liu Chen wants to give Youdi four quilts as a dowry. Forget about this quilt, you don't even have that much cotton.

Today's cotton is a strategic material, and you can't just buy it if you want.

How many clothes?

Oh my god, now I can only get two new sets of clothes when I get married, but I still have to wear a few more outfits. This is too arrogant.

Youdi also stared at Liu Chen, is it true?

Is what my brother said true?
