With the candle flame swaying, Gu Wen frowned, lips closed, eyes focused on a sleeve in his hand, and then fell into anger, holding a thin needle and passing it calmly.

"Huh..." Xia Yi looked at Gu Wenzhu quietly, holding her cheek next to her.

Gu Wenzhu's side face is well-defined, and the tall bridge of the nose casts a shadow on his face under the candlelight, making him extraordinarily handsome.

It is said that men who work hard are the most handsome, and this honestly does not deceive me. Xia Yi revels in the beauty of his own man and cannot extricate himself from it.

"Scissors." Gu Wen didn't lift his head one by one, but raised his hand to the right.

Xia Yi quickly passed the scissors in the basket.

"Thread the thread." Gu Wen commanded briefly and concisely, continuing to sew the sleeves in his hands.

Xia Yi quickly used another needle to thread the thread and handed it to Gu Wenzhu, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a kerchief. Gu Wen tilted his head slightly, his eyes still looking at the needle and thread in his hand.

"The last two stitches will be over." Gu Wenju's voice was calm and serious, "The stitching was very successful."

Xia Yi: ...how it feels like an operation.

As the last stitch passed through, Gu Wen cut off the excess thread one by one, and let out a long breath of relief, "You're done, come and try." After speaking, he shook the shirt in his hand and handed it to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi took it and saw that the stitches were fine and the gaps between the needles were the same. Although Gu Wen said that he had never done needlework before, but this time he sews too beautifully.

"Brother Zhu, you are really amazing, amazing, and I admire you too much." Xia Yi did not hesitate to say good things about Gu Wen's face, making his face slightly hot.

Because it is a looser and thicker shirt, Xia Yi directly puts on her body. After putting it on and tightening it, he triumphed in front of Gu Wenzhu a few times.

"Does it look good?" Xia Yi asked, seeing Gu Wen's eyes brighten.

"It looks good." Gu Wen nodded again and again.

Xia Yi moved for two more laps, shaking her hands on her hips, and gradually felt that something was wrong. There was something under the armpit on one side, and the shoulder was a little tight.

Xia Yi took off her clothes and took a closer look, and finally figured out the reason, "Brother Zhu, you sew up the sleeves upside down, the shoulder part is underneath, and the crunchy nest is sewn to the shoulder."

Gu Wen hurriedly walked up, and after checking, the two looked at each other, "This has to be dismantled and re-sew."

. . . . . .

"Scissors." Gu Wen stretched out his hand solemnly, and Xia Yi quickly handed it over.

"Thread the thread." Xia Yi hurriedly threaded the needle.

"There are two last stitches."

The sleeves are up and down correctly this time, and the armpits and shoulders are suitable. Xia Yi shook her arms up and down, very satisfied. Gu Wen stepped forward and pulled at it, and looked there to make sure there was no seam in the opposite direction.

Gradually, Xia Yi felt that something was wrong. Why did it look weird?

Gu Wen held his chin and frowned one by one, then suddenly realized, "The two sleeves are not the same length."

"After I removed it just now, I saw that there were needle holes in the sleeves, so I sew more into it." Gu Wen regretted it.

"What should I do then?" Xia Yi looked at Gu Wenzhu eagerly while wearing a jacket with a short sleeve, "Take it again? You don't want to do it anymore. The more you do it, the more the problem arises, just find a piece of fabric and attach it underneath."

"Okay, let's find a piece," Gu Wen flipped through the basket after speaking, and found a piece of cloth of the same quality. He cut a piece with the scissors, and began to connect Xia Yi's sleeves.

"Scissors."

"Thread the thread."

"There are two last stitches."

You're done. After putting on the clothes this time, there is no problem finally, and it fits perfectly. The shirt was a little longer, and the color of the sleeve that was attached to the lower leg was not the same. But both felt that this was just a small regret, not a big problem.

Xia Yi's shirt was finished, and he came to sew the one by Gu Wen again.

Xia Yi took the sleeves that hadn't been stitched and compared them on the clothes spread out on the table, and suddenly shouted "Ah", "Brother Zhu, you just took the fabric for the sleeves. Did you cut this? "

Looking at Xia Yi holding the sleeve with a piece of fabric missing in his hand, Gu Wen felt a pain in his heart one by one.

"Cut a section at the bottom of my clothes to make your sleeve. Anyway, it was a bit long when I tried it on just now." Xia Yi suggested.

This was the only way to go, so he twisted the hem of Xia Yi's shirt again and connected it to Gu Wenzhu's sleeves.

After the two pieces of clothing were finished, Gu Wenzhu felt as if he had finished ploughing three acres of land in a row, and he was so tired.

After the two changed into new clothes, they looked at each other with a smile.

Gu Wen was dressed in blue one by one, handsome and tall, with a circle of deep purple on the cuffs, while Xia Yi was full of deep purple, and the cuffs were blue.

Fuck, this is a couple outfit.

There is purple in the blue, and blue in the purple. You have the base in you and me in the base.

Early the next morning, both of them put on new clothes. After breakfast, they went to see the old house with half of the wall broken. If the walls are patched up, they can be used as a miscellaneous house to install farm tools that are not in use.

The two of them looked around the house, and soon a lot of people from the village came, all holding their bowls while eating and watching.

"Xiao Yi, are you wearing new clothes? They look so good."

"Xiao Yi, what's the matter with your new clothes? The sleeves are not the same color?" Li Zhu squatted next to him holding a bowl, and asked as he planed rice.

Both of them were embarrassed to say the reason, and said, "I don't know where the hole was hanging, so they just patched up their sleeves."

The people around nodded clearly, only Uncle Wang was doing meditation, looking deep into the distance, and finally smiled coldly, "Where do you really believe it was hung up?"

Both Xia Yi and Gu Wen jumped in their hearts.

"It must be those three thieves who came back to retaliate and tore them." Uncle Wang gritted his teeth, "Don't let me run into them again."

. . . . . .

Xia Yi had never talked about real love in her previous life, and she was very uncomfortable with those couples who showed their affection. saw someone putting candles to court on the road, vulgar! Proposal with a ring, bah!

"179, I finally got out of the order. I want to give Brother Zhu a ring, and I also want to put a heart with a candle!" Xia Yimei thought happily, "I want to do all the things that lovers must do one by one. Finished."

After speaking, he took a small notebook out of the house, and ticked off at the back of wearing a couple outfit together.

Have a candlelight dinner with him! I'm spending candlelight dinner together every day, tick tick.

Take a tour with him! Well, the last time I took me to catch fish, climb mountains and wading, I also ticked it.

Watch the sunrise and sunset with him! Go to the field and farm together every day, go back and hook together.

Save money with him! All our money is in that small wooden box, tick.

Cook food with him! I accompany him while he is cooking, Gou.

Keep a pet with him! Qilin is biting his shoes next to him, hook.

Those who can't do anything while watching a movie together, the rest is to set their hearts with candles, Xia Yi closed her notebook and thought deeply.

Where is it placed? It’s not possible outside the village, it will blow out if the wind is strong at night. The inside of the village is not good either, you have to be surrounded by three floors inside and outside three floors by the villagers. Your own yard? No, no, Brother Zhu is at home at night, watching him put candles, and not telling him to come up to help, it's not a surprise.

"It can be placed in that old house." 179 made suggestions.

Yes, it can be placed in an old house without blowing the wind or being watched by people. When the time comes, will lie out for a while, and Brother Zhu doesn't know.

"179, you finally came up with a good idea, it's not a waste of the system." Xia Yi couldn't help but praise the system.

Just do it, and immediately go to the village's old Zhangtou's house to buy candles. Lao Zhangtou had a carriage and went to the county town every three days, so he simply opened a small shop in his own home to sell some groceries for needles, needles, and brains.

Seeing that Xia Yi bought all the candles, Lao Zhangtou was a little surprised.

"Brother Zhu is learning how to sew clothes. The candlelight is too dark for fear of hurting your eyes, so I have to order a few more." Xia Yi is very witty.

After dinner, it was all dark, Xia Yi bowl pushed his bowl, still bulging, and said to Gu Wen vaguely: "I'll go to Liu Qing's house. I'll be back later. Don't leave."

The moment he opened the courtyard door to go out, he turned his head and said again: "Don't go, wait for me, I'll be back in a while."

In the old house, Xia Yi seriously placed candles one by one, looking forward to it in her heart.

"179, do you think Brother Zhu would be very moved when he saw it? I think this idea is simply too romantic..."

"But when I recommended you ten things that couples must do before, didn't you still say it was too vulgar?"

"Others are vulgar, I call it romantic when I do it, forget it, don't tell you, you don't know what a sense of ritual is."

The candle slowly formed a heart shape on the ground, and Xia Yi carefully lit each one on fire. The old house was illuminated by Yingying candles, and it seemed that the whole room had become extra warm.

"Okay, I'm looking for Brother Zhu." When you're done, Xia Yi snapped his fingers and started to go back and call Gu Wenzhu.

Gu Wen was serving rice in the Kirin's food bowl. The Kirin was eating big mouthfuls, and his mouth was still purring happily. Xia Yi pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

"I'm back? There are a few persimmons on the table. They were brought by Dazhu just now. Go and eat." Gu Wen put down the food bowl quickly and walked towards Xia Yi.

Xia Yi did not speak, but stared at him with bright eyes and a smile on his mouth.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Xia Yi's appearance, Gu Wen softened his voice unconsciously and smiled.

"I want to take you to see something. It is a surprise I gave you." Being watched gently by Gu Wen, Xia Yi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"What's the surprise?" Gu Wenzhu's voice was softer, as if silk satin gently brushed his ears.

"Come on, come with me, you will know when you go." Xia Yi said with a faint excitement, and walked out after speaking, Gu Wen hurriedly followed.

"Dangdangdang", as soon as I walked out of the yard, I heard the sound of the gong knocking from the village, accompanied by the heartbreaking loud cry of Uncle Wang, "The water is gone, the water is gone, the house is burning... ..."
