Chapter 365 Preparing Baby's Clothes

Jian Yiwei came back with his meal and saw his aunt and sister-in-law eating strawberries together.

"Brother, strawberries are not cheap now, right?" Jian Liqiu reached out to take the lunch box.

"I don't know. This was given to Yi Yi by Secretary Zhou. Yi Yi thought it tasted good, so she asked me to bring some back for your sister-in-law." Jian Yiwei put the lunch box in front of Luo Zhenzhu.

Luo Zhenzhu frowned and looked at the shredded pork with green peppers and stir-fried cabbage in her lunch box, then looked at the sweet and sour pork tenderloin and stir-fried cabbage in Jian Liqiu's lunch box.

"Why is there no sweet and sour pork in my box?" She couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question.

"Didn't the doctor tell you to control your diet and not eat fatty meat? It's the same when we eat shredded pork with green peppers." Jian Yiwei hurriedly explained.

"Isn't there some chicken soup here?" he said as he unscrewed the lid of the thermos.

In an instant, the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted out.

Luo Zhenzhu frowned and said nothing.

She just wanted to eat some sweet and sour pork, why is it so difficult?!

The doctor just told me to control my diet, but didn't say I couldn't touch it at all.

Noticing that Luo Zhenzhu was in a bad mood, Jian Liqiu hurriedly put the pieces of sweet and sour pork tenderloin from her lunch box into her bowl.

"This sweet and sour pork tenderloin is not fat, so there is nothing wrong with eating it. Besides, the doctor just said to eat less, not that you can't eat it." Jian Liqiu glanced at Jian Yiwei, signaling him to coax her with her eyes.

Her sister-in-law didn't want to have a baby so soon, and now this and that are not possible...

That would only make her feel upset!

Jian Yiwei didn't expect his wife's reaction to be so big.

Receiving the signal from his sister, he hurriedly coaxed her, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I'll come early tomorrow to make you some sweet and sour pork tenderloin, okay? I'll ask him to make you a few more pieces."

Luo Zhenzhu glared at him, lowered her head and started eating.

Knowing that he had passed this hurdle, Jian Yiwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why hasn't Yi Yi come to the military area recently?" Luo Zhenzhu asked.

"It seems like she is making clothes for the child at home." Jian Yiwei was not quite sure.

When he went to pick up the political commissar, he only heard the old lady and Aunt Wang talking about fabrics, cotton, styles, and how comfortable the children would wear them. He really had no idea what specific clothes to make.

Clothes with cotton in them are probably jackets.

"Yi Yi is getting older now, and it's time to prepare small clothes for the children." A trace of loneliness flashed in Jian Liqiu's eyes.

If it weren't for that accident, she would have prepared small clothes and quilts for the child.

"Yes, for two children, other people only need to sew two coats and one replacement, but she has to sew four, plus small clothes, small quilts, small blankets, small sweaters, small shoes, small hats, diapers..." Luo Zhenzhu laughed.

"I'm guessing we'll need a whole room to store the clothes of those two little ones."

Others wash ten diapers a day, but her political commissar has to wash twenty.

The image of Lu Yujing grunting as he washed diapers flashed through Luo Zhenzhu's mind.

"Sister-in-law, why don't we go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cloth and cotton next time we have a holiday?" Jian Liqiu forced herself to suppress the bitterness in her heart and looked up at Luo Zhenzhu who was sitting opposite her.

"Okay, you are good at needlework, so please help me when the time comes." Luo Zhenzhu agreed with a smile.

It's time to prepare slowly.

"Okay!" Jian Liqiu pursed her lips and nodded.

"Doesn't the supply and marketing cooperative sell children's clothes?" Jian Yiwei picked up the thermos bucket and helped Luo Zhenzhu and Jian Liqiu pour chicken soup.

"Do you know what kind of cotton those small jackets from the supply and marketing cooperative are made of? It's better for children to make their own clothes." Luo Zhenzhu said immediately.

If the jackets from the supply and marketing cooperative are better, would Yi Yi and the Lu family make them themselves?

"Why don't you let mom buy it? You tell her the patterns and colors you like, and she can buy them when she goes grocery shopping." Jian Yiwei suggested.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and there are so many things to do inside and outside that even the political commissar is busy all day long.

Have a holiday……

I'm afraid some have to wait.

"That's fine!" Thinking that the art troupe has been really busy recently and the year-end performance is coming soon, Luo Zhenzhu nodded.

"I also need to buy some wool. If the weather is cold, I still need to wear a sweater inside to keep warm." Jian Liqiu added.

"Yes, yes, the sweater is a must." Luo Zhenzhu nodded in agreement.

"I also need to buy some fine cotton cloth, the better, softer kind, to make a few close-fitting undergarments for the children." Jian Liqiu thought for a moment.

Jian Yiwei put down the thermos, took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket, and carefully wrote down what he needed to buy.

"You should also buy first-grade cotton. Inferior cotton is not only not warm when you wear it, but it is also not as comfortable as first-grade cotton." Luo Zhenzhu also added.

"As for the color..." She thought about it seriously.

"Why don't you choose the pink one? Pink looks good."

"Pink is nice, but it's not resistant to getting dirty. If the kids make a fuss and roll around on the ground, the clothes will be a mess." Jian Liqiu rejected it immediately.

key……

The jacket becomes stiff after being washed several times and can no longer be worn.

After Jian Liqiu's reminder, Luo Zhenzhu obviously thought of this as well.

"Why not choose the one with small floral patterns..." She thought about it again.

"Small floral patterns are fine, but you have to choose ones with slightly darker colors, otherwise they will get dirty after just a few days of wearing them." Jian Liqiu expressed her concerns.

"Then buy the blue one with small floral patterns. It's not only stain-resistant but also looks good and complements your skin tone." Luo Zhenzhu made the final decision.

Jian Yiwei remembered it silently.

The colors and patterns were also carefully noted.

After the meal, Jian Yiwei had written about ten pages in his notebook.

From coats and sweaters to underwear and small shoes...

No matter how big or small the matter is.

Jian Qingyi took the coat, baby shirt, small mattress, and small quilt that Wang Ma had sewn...

They are all embroidered with four-leaf clovers, which symbolize luck, true love, hope, health and happiness.

When Qin Mengjie came home from get off work, she saw Jian Qingyi half lying on the bed embroidering something.

She turned around and went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot milk for Jian Qingyi.

Worried that Jian Qingyi would get a sore throat from drinking too much milk powder, Xiao Zhang now buys fresh milk from the dairy factory every morning.

"Yiyi, what are you embroidering?" Qin Mengjie handed her the milk to warm her hands.

"Four-leaf clover!" Jian Qingyi took the milk.

Because she was wearing a thick fleece shawl, Jian Qingyi didn't feel cold at all.

"Four-leaf clover? Is there any explanation?" Qin Mengjie didn't think that her daughter-in-law would embroider two leaves leaning on each other on the little guy's clothes and mattress for no reason.

"Four-leaf clover symbolizes luck, true love, hope, health and happiness." Jian Qingyi looked down at the four-leaf clover on her clothes, a happy smile on her lips.

"I hope the two little ones can be lucky, happy, healthy and happy."

As the little ones grew bigger in her belly day by day, Jian Qingyi felt more and more like a mother.
