Zhang Siyu was involved in a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a small fishing village in the 1960s, as Cheng Zhenzhu, a widow single-handedly raising three children.

Chapter 118 Making Clothes

Maybe because he got up early today and played in the yard all morning, Yitiao also dozed off soon. Before going to the room, he came to pick up Liutiao. "Mom, can I sleep with Liutiao today?"

"Okay." Cheng Zhenzhu was naturally happy to see the brothers being close, and immediately handed the energetic young man next to her to Yi Tiao.

Ichijo carried Liujo to the room, and Erjo followed. When his brother slept, he naturally slept too.

"Come on, San Tiao, mommy will hold you and go to sleep too." Cheng Zhenzhu picked up the soft ball that had fallen on her legs.

"Liu Tiao, it's time to go to bed." Yi Tiao helped Liu Tiao take off his shoes and clothes and tucked him into the quilt.

"Ahh~" Liu Tiao stretched out his hands and arched his butt, unhappy.

"Let's go to bed," Er Tiao said, and happily climbed up the ladder to the upper bunk. His brother said he would switch beds with him today and let him sleep on the upper bunk. He was so happy!

Peng Ertiao opened the quilt and drilled in...

"Er Tiao, be careful, don't fall." Cheng Zhenzhu warned Er Tiao.

Originally, the plan was to put in a big bed, but Tiao and Er Tiao liked the bunk beds, so they brought them in.

The bed isn't particularly high, and with the added guardrails, the safety factor is acceptable. However, I still have to give some warnings.

"Okay~" Er Tiao responded and wrapped the quilt tightly.

His eldest brother and sixth brother were still struggling under the bed.

"Go to sleep." Yi Tiao put his six hands back in again.

Liu Tiao was a smart one. He blinked his eyes and soon stretched out his hand from somewhere else, still making “wow wow” sounds.

Cheng Zhenzhu watched as Yitiao, humming and humming, hands on her hips, doubled over with joy. The next Yitiao must have experienced it even more personally: Liutiao was a very active child...

About half an hour later, the room finally quieted down.

All four little babies are asleep.

Cheng Zhenzhu wasn't feeling sleepy at all, so she finished some tasks and then started fishing. She caught a few unremarkable fish.

But when she signed in today, she got something a little different.

Two salted fish, with a strong and special aroma. Intact, half dry, half wet, looking good?

Cheng Zhenzhu picked up two salted fish and patted them, planning to cut half of one to try tonight...

But that was to be in the evening. With some free time, Cheng Zhenzhu took out the seaweed fiber cloth and needle and thread. She had already made six and three pieces of clothing, and the cloth for one and two pieces was also cut. All that was left was sewing.

After about half an hour, a long-sleeved lining was ready. Cheng Zhenzhu compared it and looked at it, and thought it was a little ugly.

White long sleeves seem a bit too monotonous...

"Mom..." At half past four, Peng Ertiao opened his eyes, got up and looked around in a daze.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Peng Ertiao shouted, his eyes full of confusion.

Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the bewildered Er Tiao and waved at him. "Making clothes. Er Tiao, what's your favorite animal?"

Making clothes! Peng Ertiao was instantly alert and blurted out, "I like dogs the most, four or five."

Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, then traced the outlines of two puppies on the cloth.

Peng Ertiao climbed down from the bed and saw a piece of clothing next to his mother with two small crabs on it and one on his pants. His eyes widened. "Mom, crabs are beautiful. I like crabs."

Cheng Zhenzhu found it funny, "So do you like crabs or dogs?"

Peng Ertiao hesitated. He used to like crabs the most, but now he likes dogs the most, but he likes both. But then an idea suddenly struck him. "Mom, how about drawing a dog on my shirt and a crab on my pants?"

"Okay, of course." Cheng Zhenzhu kept working.

She wasn't very skilled at embroidery, but sketching an outline on the fabric and then choosing the seams made it much easier. Since Liu Tiao couldn't speak yet, she embroidered a few small crabs on the six pieces of clothing as a embellishment.

As for the first, second, and third, they already have their own aesthetics, so let them choose...

Mom is amazing! Peng Ertiao couldn't help but pick at the little crab on his clothes, and then stared at his mother sewing the little dog.

Not long after, Yitiao and Santiao also woke up. Seeing their mother making new clothes, they all got up and sat in a row.

Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the three little kids Baba was guarding in front of her, and gave them a cheese stick and a small cake.

"Cat~" Peng San Tiao licked the cheese stick, his attention focused on the clothes in his mother's hands. His mother said she would embroider a cat for him, the most beautiful cat.

Why does it feel like I'm being supervised... Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the little darlings who didn't blink and quickly increased her pace.

Soon, the three kittens were embroidered.

"Cat, so pretty, I like it~" San Tiao happily hugged the clothes and rubbed them. After rubbing, he scratched them again and continued to "supervise" the cat embroidered on his mother's pants.

"One more." Peng Sandiao counted on his fingers. The second brother had two crabs on his pants, and he wanted two cats too.

"Okay, another one." Cheng Zhenzhu started sewing again. She had already embroidered two crabs on the second pair of pants. Now that the third pair had made a request, she couldn't be too partial and embroider another one.

But there are still six who have not yet gained the right to speak, only those three little crabs...

"Mom, it's my turn." Peng Yitiao rubbed his hands in anticipation when he saw that his brother's cat embroidery was finished.

He woke up the latest, so he had to wait in line behind his younger brother. But he didn't know what he wanted, so his mother drew several animals for him to choose from. Among them, there was one that was the most beautiful, and he thought it was prettier than cats, dogs, and crabs.
