Chapter 124 Let’s Talk After Dinner

After sleeping for half an hour, Lin Xia woke up and took the little one, who was still groggy and not fully conscious, downstairs.

She has now discovered that the little one sleeps too much during the day and needs to listen to two stories before falling asleep at night, and he will stay in bed again the next day.

It is best to take a half-hour nap at noon every day, so that you can fall asleep easily at night and wake up early in the morning.

Letting the little guy who was not yet awake sit aside and drink some water, Lin Xia put on his hat and went to the yard to pick up the dustpan and returned to the house.

The mango's skin had dried up but had not yet hardened. Lin Xia used a knife to cut the mango into three parts. In the middle was the core, with some flesh still hanging on both sides. It was no longer juicy, so she handed one to the little one and let her chew it.

After all the mangoes have been processed, put them outside to dry.

The little guy finished eating a mango core, wiped his mouth and it was time for class. Lin Xia taught the little guy pinyin and pronunciation by reading and drawing at the same time.

After teaching her, Lin Xia let her draw for fun. She took a ruler and drawing powder and started to work on the cloth.

After some revisions, I dared to pick up the scissors and cut along the drawing powder.

Lin Xia held the cut piece of cloth and measured it. She thought it should be pretty good and immediately gained confidence.

She threaded the needle and started sewing with confidence.

There were only a few seams on the short-sleeved shirt, so Lin Xia sat at the door and concentrated on sewing.

It didn't take long before it was roughly formed. "An An, come here quickly."

The little guy came running over, looking at the clothes in Lin Xia's hands with stars in his eyes. His eyes lit up. Did she have new clothes?

Lin Xia couldn't wait to try it on the little one. As soon as she put it on her head, she felt something was wrong. It seemed like she had sewed it up on her head.

"Is Xiao Xia here?"

Lin Xia changed the little guy's clothes and looked towards the source of the sound. There was a head hanging on the wall of the next courtyard, waving excitedly.

It was obvious that there was some new gossip. Lin Xia looked at the failed product in her hand, thought for a moment, picked up the needle and thread scissors, and prepared to go next door to kill time while removing the stitches.

An An followed along with his notebook.

"Come quickly, come quickly." When Zhao Xianglan saw her coming, her face almost said: Come quickly, I have some big gossip to tell you.

“Are you making clothes?”

Lin Xia heard Yang Hongmei's question before she sat down. She looked at the failed clothes in her hands and her face felt a little hot.

"Well, I made it for An An. I've never made clothes before, so I failed miserably." Lin Xia blushed a little. She failed completely. Not only did she sew in the wrong place, but the stitches were also crooked and looked ugly.

"You are still sewing by hand? I have a sewing machine at home!" Yang Hongmei couldn't help laughing when she saw the stitches she was sewing.

"Ah? Then thank you, sister-in-law, for lending it to me later." When Lin Xia heard this, she was immediately delighted, she was saved!

"That's not a big deal, just use it as you like." Yang Hongmei bought the sewing machine after she joined the army. She didn't have the money when she got married, but she got it after she joined the army.

"Do you still want to listen to gossip?" Zhao Xianglan said dissatisfiedly when she saw that the two of them didn't seem to care about gossip at all.

"listen!"

"Hurry up and tell me, I told you not to keep it a secret!" Yang Hongmei rolled her eyes at her, as she had been showing off for a long time without saying anything, which just whetted her appetite.

"They're not divorced! The whole family left together!" Zhao Xianglan saw that the two would continue talking about clothes if she didn't say anything, so she quickly spoke up.

"Ah?" Yang Hongmei didn't understand what it meant for the whole family to leave together.

"Zheng Dabei also left?" Lin Xia immediately grasped the key point.

"Yes! Don't you think this is strange?" Zhao Xianglan was very curious, but the men in the family had not returned, so she didn't know the specific situation.

Lin Xia also felt that it was a bit strange. Was it professional for the whole family to leave together? But this was too hasty. It didn't seem like an honorable discharge, but more like... like being driven away.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Xia always felt that there was something strange about this, and he couldn't figure out the connection.

"They spent the whole morning cleaning up, and probably didn't even have lunch. They called a tractor to take their things away. They looked very anxious." Zhao Xianglan found out about this because she was alerted by the noise of the tractor and came out to see what was going on.

Lin Xia found it even more strange when she heard this. If he was discharged from the army and wanted to move house, it would be impossible for him not to be able to borrow a military vehicle. But they actually called for a tractor to move his house, which meant that he did not have that right.

When Lin Xia thought about the strange things together, she suddenly remembered what Lu Yuxiu had said before that there would be a result. Could this be the result?

Thinking of the inexplicable conflict between Zhang Sixi and herself, she instinctively felt that this might be the result. She would have to wait for Lu Yuxiu to come back and confirm it.

While chatting about gossip, she took apart the discarded T-shirt. Luckily the needle hole was not big. While there was still some drawing powder left on it, Lin Xia asked Yang Hongmei how to use the sewing machine.

He was not very skilled at the beginning, but after a few kicks, Lin Xia suddenly knew what speed was.

She spent a lot of time and effort sewing the crooked clothes, but the sewing machine only took less than a minute to sew a edge. Thinking of the collars of short-sleeved shirts in the future, Lin Xia pressed two more lines on it.

A decent short-sleeved shirt is ready. It has small floral patterns on it and the color is quite fresh. Lin Xia thinks it will be very cute for children to wear.

"Are you making this for An An?" Zhao Xianglan hadn't looked carefully before, and only now realized that the size of the clothes was very small. Seeing such rare floral fabric being used to make clothes for a child, she suddenly felt a little distressed.

"Children grow fast, and they won't be able to wear the clothes soon. What a waste of such good cloth!"

"It's okay, I made it very big." Lin Xia made it with a slightly looser version. With so much fabric, if she didn't make clothes for the little one, would she just leave it there and wait for it to go bad?

Lin Xia believes that good things are good only when they are used and play a role.

After chatting for a while, we dispersed and went home.

An An came back with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.

"What's the matter? This little mouth is big enough to hold a bottle of oil." Lin Xia scratched the little girl's nose and prepared to try on clothes for her.

There were too many people around just now so she didn't get changed. Although there were only women and children around, Lin Xia had always been very careful about this aspect and usually taught the little one to protect herself.

So when there are many people around outside, the little one always hides behind her, and Lin Xia agrees with this.

After changing into new clothes, the fresh small floral patterns on her body were very cute. Lin Xia thought it would be nice to make a little skirt underneath.

After trying it on, Lin Xia took it off and had to wash it before wearing it again. She just needed to rinse it with clean water twice to remove the dust.

I was busy turning the mango over while the little one was eating and playing with it. The mango had lost some moisture and had a soft and sticky texture, a little springy and chewy, but it still needed to be exposed to the sun to be preserved for a longer time.

Lin Xia was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen when she heard footsteps outside. She looked up and saw Lu Yuxiu had already walked to the kitchen door.

"You're back. We can eat soon."

Facing his wife's smiling face, Lu Yuxiu felt much better and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Forget it, let’s talk about it after dinner.
