Chapter 389 Making Clothes

As soon as the busy farming season was over, Song Wei fished out the giant turtle from the pond.

Lin Zhen quickly took it over and cleaned it up.

"We have such a big turtle and we still have some venison left. Why don't we invite our great grandfather's family and the captain's family to come and eat together?"

They have good relations with these two companies, so naturally they will continue to maintain these relations.

Lin Zhen nodded.

Song Wei asked Lin Ping'an to call the team leader and others, and she ran to her great-grandfather's house to call for help.

Naturally, they didn't come empty-handed.

They all brought eggs, rice, noodles and other things, and the team leader also brought some wine.

Most of the country people are hardworking and rarely idle. The men help wash and cut the meat, the women cook, and the children and the animals at home go out to play.

Some who couldn't help at the stove went to help feed the chickens and shovel manure in the deer shed...

Everyone was busy and the whole yard was bustling with activity.

When eating, men and women sat at two tables.

The harvest is over, and this is such a delicious meal with wine. It would be unreasonable not to drink something in this situation.

"Come on, Lin Zhen, uncle has to toast you. Thank you for my son's matter."

Jiang Wenwu also bared his teeth and raised his glass: "Brother Lin Zhen, I toast to you!"

Lin Zhen raised his glass and said, "No need to thank me. It was thanks to you, Uncle Lei, that I was able to join the army."

At the women's table, everyone was talking about Song Wei's belly.

"That's great! She's pregnant with twins at once. So far in our brigade, we've only heard of Wang Laowu's wife being pregnant with twins."

"Song Wei, has the baby in your belly moved?"

Song Wei nodded: "It has been moved, and it was moved today."

"That's pretty lively, hahaha...it's just that these twins are not easy to deliver. You have to move around more when you have nothing to do on weekdays, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth."

They have all given birth to children and know something about this.

Song Wei listened carefully and nodded.

"I know."

"You and Lin Zhen are both good-looking, and the baby you give birth to will definitely be even more beautiful!"

The food on the table was so delicious that everyone chatted without interrupting their meals.

Especially the children, they eat so much without even raising their heads.

After the autumn harvest, things gradually became less busy.

But there is also a lot to do.

Even with a big belly like Song Wei, she could still carry a stool and go pick corn with those old ladies.

Let’s chat and eat melons together.

After the public grain tax was paid, the team leader organized another hunting trip into the mountains.

Song Wei didn't go this time, Lin Zhen went instead.

Everyone brought their family dogs.

With the help of the wolves, they brought back a lot of prey from the mountains this time.

There were two wild boars alone, a sika deer, two roe deer, and some small prey such as pheasants and hares.

When the hunting team returned, they were greeted with cheers from the entire group.

Finally, there is meat to eat again.

"It's really exciting. Captain, let's go into the mountains again!"

The captain glared at the young man.

"What are you thinking about every day? You can go in once a year and you are greedy."

"The prey in this mountain also need to be cultivated. If we go in too often, we will destroy the balance of the mountain, and we will be punished for that."

The young men, who were full of enthusiasm, were immediately extinguished by the words of their elders.

"knew."

Everyone divided the meat and went home happily to cook.

Song Wei didn't go to distribute the meat, but stayed at home watching the chicken.

The chickens they raised laid eggs!

Looking at the small eggs in her hands, she smiled.

When Lin Zhen came back, he couldn't wait to show Lin Zhen the small egg which was slightly larger than a pigeon egg.

"Lin Zhen, look, our chickens have laid eggs!"

The yard here is big and has been specially made for raising chickens. They have thirteen chickens.

There are eight hens and five roosters.

The eight hens have laid eggs one after another in the past two days.

Lin Zhen: "Well, you can eat as many eggs as you want in the future."

Song Wei muttered: "Am I that greedy?"

Well, a little bit.

"It's no use keeping so many roosters. Let's eat one some other day."

Lin Zhen was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was holding the meat in his hand, but his wife was already craving for chicken.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"All right."

Song Wei chuckled, she even felt a little embarrassed.

But I am greedy.

I'm getting hungry so quickly now.

Song Wei eats more and more. In addition to the main meals, she also eats a lot of fruits and snacks every day.

But apart from her big belly, she didn't seem to gain much weight.

Maybe it has something to do with the amount of exercise she does every day.

In addition to daily outdoor exercise, Song Wei suddenly thought of children's clothes.

It’s not easy to buy children’s clothes here, and you basically have to make them yourself.

Rural women all know how to do some manual work.

Song Wei has learned how to make clothes, but she hasn't made clothes for children yet.

She only remembered this when her great-grandmother brought her two pairs of beautiful little tiger-head shoes.

The tiger-head shoes are very small, not even as big as her palm, and look delicate and cute.

Song Wei thought about the fat baby wearing small shoes. The feet must be so small and quite cute.

"The children's clothes can be prepared. Can you do it?"

Song Wei shook her head: "I haven't made children's clothes yet."

"Come, I'll teach you. It's convenient that you have a sewing machine at home."

Song Wei found some softer fabric at home, and her grandmother began to teach her how to make clothes for the baby.

"This small?"

Song Wei looked at the small clothes that looked like those worn by a doll with a look of surprise.

The grandmother said cheerfully, "A newborn baby is only that big, but it grows fast. But we still need to prepare more clothes for this baby. The baby's poop and pee will easily stain the clothes. I estimate that we need to change at least two sets of clothes a day."

Yes, there were no diapers at that time, only diaper sheets were used.

The diaper sheet is made of cloth, but it is not as absorbent as diapers.

So you have to prepare some diapers as a backup.

Having a sewing machine is convenient. It is much faster than sewing stitch by stitch. It didn’t take long for the old man to make a small set of clothes.

"Try it yourself."

Song Wei nodded, sat down and tried to make a small set of clothes for herself.

Baby clothes can be worn by both boys and girls, so there is no need to distinguish between boys' and girls' styles.

Song Wei simply made two pieces according to the size of the twins, with the same color and style.

"You can figure out how to make the clothes at home, and I'll make you some small shoes when I get home."

Song Wei nodded. The shoes were exquisitely made and it was impossible for a novice like her who only knew some sewing skills to make them.

"Then I'll trouble you, Grandma. Please take these cloths back."

"What are you doing for me? Won't your two children be of use to you in the future?"

Song Wei forced the point: "This is the defective cloth that Lin Zhen bought. We don't have anyone in our family who is suitable for this color. We still have a lot of cloth at home. You can take it. We can make new clothes for you and your grandfather."
