But if you ask her to make something else, she really doesn't have the skills.
Moreover, supplies were scarce at the moment, so she certainly couldn't say that she would send the whole set of clothes to Shen Lingling.
She has plenty of clothes in her space, but it is unlikely that Shen Lingling will accept them if she gives them to her.
Moreover, Shen Lingling specifically asked her to make something for her, which shows that she was looking for the thoughtfulness rather than those precious things.
Tian Tian thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what she could make as a gift to Shen Lingling, and sighed with a headache.
How about making a small hairpin?
There is a small black hairpin in her space. When the time comes, she will get some glue and remove some small accessories from other clips and stick them on.
But wouldn't this be too confusing? It's just a gift made by piecing together other things. It doesn't involve any technical difficulty, and it doesn't show her intentions.
Tian Tian cherishes her friend Shen Lingling very much and wants to be friends with her for life. She must have wanted to make a gift for her with care and did not want to fool Shen Lingling.
She quickly shot down the idea of issuing cards.
"Leather case?" Tian Tian muttered to herself, "But there are already pig intestine hair rings."
Tian Tian suddenly had an idea, "It doesn't matter if I already have a leather case! I can make a headband out of it!"
Didn’t she often tie her hair with headbands in her previous life?
When she was watching TV, she remembered that people also used headbands to tie their hair at that time. It was not out of the ordinary to use headbands! It would not arouse the suspicion of Li Jiuniang, a time traveler!
Moreover, she can choose the color of the headband herself and sew it on by hand. She has put in a lot of effort and thought, which is enough to express her feelings.
After Tian Tian decided to make a headband, she immediately took action.
She turned out all the little scraps of cloth in her room.
Old Mrs. Tian doted on her, and she was the only daughter in the family, so she would make her clothes in fresh colors every two years. Therefore, the colors of the scraps of cloth in her house were not so old-fashioned, and they were just right for making headbands for Shen Lingling.
Tian Tian picked out a few strips of cloth of similar colors, thought about it in her mind, and started to make it.
Tian Tian lowered her head and sewed the headband seriously. Suddenly she felt like she was making a gift for her boyfriend. She racked her brains to make sure that the gift could represent her feelings.
When Tian Tian thought of this, she couldn't help but lower her head and laugh.
Who cares? Aren’t good friends more important than boyfriends? Good friends are for life!
Making a headband is also very simple. After matching the colors, just sew it together.
Tian Tian's sewing skills have improved greatly recently and she quickly made the headband.
Tian Tian looked around at the finished headband and felt that she was a little different from what she had imagined.
Modern headbands are all made of gauze. They look light and fluttering. They look beautiful when used to tie hair and fly in the wind.
But Tian Tian’s headband is made of cloth, which is heavier than gauze. Especially since Tian Tian sewed two layers of it, it looks very bulky.
However, Tian Tian's color combination is very beautiful, and it looks pretty good at first glance.
Although it did not meet her expectations, Tian Tian was still very satisfied with the headband she made for the first time. She carefully put it away, went back to bed, and planned to give it to Shen Lingling tomorrow.
Tian Tian woke up early the next morning. Somehow, her biological clock was very close to that of Old Lady Tian.
She gets up a little later than Mrs. Tian every morning, so she basically makes breakfast now.
Seeing how diligent she was, Old Mrs. Tian loved her even more.
Tian Tian yawned. The weather was getting colder day by day.
It was early in the morning again. The kang that was heated last night had long since burned out. The room was very cold and one could clearly see Tian Tian's breath.
Tian Tian took out the clothes that were pressed under the quilt and put them on.
Although the kang was cold, the clothes were still somewhat warm, so Tian Tian didn't feel cold when she put them on.
She went out and fetched a basin of well water to wash her face. The cool water made Tian Tian suddenly sober up.
"Grandma! What did you want to eat this morning?" Tian Tian asked Grandma Tian while wiping her face.
"Let's boil some potatoes! We'll eat them with sauce later." Old Mrs. Tian said, "After breakfast this morning, we'll wring out all the corn on the kang, and ask your second uncle to grind cornmeal in the afternoon!"
Last night, Old Mrs. Tian added a lot of firewood into the stove and heated up the kang in the cottage. She dried the corn on the kang overnight.
Tian Tian agreed, took a small earthen basket and went to the cellar to pick up some potatoes. She washed them with well water and then threw them into the pot to boil.
Tian Tian felt that eating only potatoes in the morning was a bit too monotonous, so she went to the field to pick a few eggplants and steamed them on top of the potatoes.
After putting the lid on the pot, Tian Tian went to the field to help Old Mrs. Tian pick vegetables.
It's autumn now and frost is about to fall. These vegetables in the field won't grow for many more days.
Old Mrs. Tian planned to pick all the vegetables before the frost came, dry them in the sun, pickle them, and they would be a dish in winter.
The vegetables grown at Old Mrs. Tian's home are quite rich, including newly planted Chinese cabbage, beans, scallions, cowpeas, eggplants, peppers, radishes, carrots, cucumbers, and some onions and ginger.
Except for cabbage, radish and carrots, which were planted in larger quantities, the rest of the vegetables were only planted in one or two rows. However, these vegetables grew well and were enough for their family to eat.
But there are not many vegetables left in the field now. The cowpeas and tomatoes are gone. Only late kidney beans, late cucumbers, eggplants, cabbages, radishes and peppers are left.
Except for radishes and cabbages, the rest grow sparsely and are very small.
Tian Tian and Old Lady Tian picked the vegetables much faster. Except for the cucumbers left on the shelves for seeds, the rest were picked quickly.
During this time, Tian Tian went back to the house and took out all the firewood in the stove, leaving some charcoal to keep the potatoes in the pot warm.
"Tian Tian! Go to the chicken coop and see if there are any eggs!" said Old Mrs. Tian.
When she first got up, she went to take a look at the chicken coop and found there were no eggs.
Just now when she was picking vegetables, she heard a hen calling and wondered if she had laid an egg.
Tian Tian ran to the chicken coop and took a look. There were two hot eggs in it, and the chicken droppings on top were still steaming.
Tian Tian was so disgusted that she picked up the egg with a piece of corn leaf as padding.
"Nai! The chicken laid two more eggs today!"
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Tian understood what was going on.
When the rice in the pot was cooked, Lin Meiyu and the second brother's family also got up one after another.
Tian Lisong might have been too tired in the past two days, and he has been sleeping until now and no one has called him.
After washing his face, Tian Zhuo came to Tian Tian who was serving dishes and whispered to her, "Sister! Dad is a lazy guy?"
