With such a daughter-in-law at home, how could Qiao Yu bury her talents?
Originally, there was no sewing machine at home.
I had some banknotes before, but since everyone in my family is handicapped, and with Wang Zhaodi around, there's no need to put a sewing machine at home as a decoration. Banknotes also have a time limit, so it's better to sell them for money than to keep them.
There are no tickets in the space now, so I can only find someone to exchange them.
Qiao Yu has been busy with sewing these days.
After Shuhui combed Little Goldfish's hair, she looked up and saw her mother-in-law holding a cup with a toothbrush in it and toothpaste squeezed on the toothbrush. She didn't know how long she had been waiting in line.
Shuhui sighed, always feeling...
There are many children in the family, including an older child.
Originally, I was worried about how to get along with my mother-in-law. Now, seeing that the older and younger children looked like they were still sleepy, with messy hair and a few short strands sticking up on top of their heads, I couldn't help but feel that my thoughts and worries before marrying into the Zhou family were too funny.
While she was combing her mother-in-law's hair, the latter started brushing her teeth in front of the mirror like the little goldfish.
Front and back, inside and outside, and finally the root of the tongue.
After brushing, she also combed her mother-in-law's hair.
"Mom, what do you think?"
Qiao Yu looked at the back of his head in the mirror.
While brushing her teeth, she sobered up a little. Her eyes lit up and she liked her daughter-in-law even more. She said, "She looks good. She looks really good! Shuhui, I have a surprise for you today!"
"Hmm? What surprise?"
"Xiaoyu! The stuff has arrived!"
It's Lao Zhou's voice.
Qiao Yu stood up and took Shuhui downstairs.
Chen Shuhui looked at her mother-in-law's back, then looked at her hands, which were slimmer, fairer and more tender than her own and obviously had never suffered any hardship, and sighed slightly.
"Mom, go slower."
Qiao Yu muttered, "It's already slow enough..."
Having said that, I still slowed down my pace.
It was not until she saw the first floor that Chen Shuhui realized what this surprise was.
The family already had two bicycles, so the bicycles were folded into money and added to the betrothal gifts. There was also a watch.
The Zhou family gave her the same dowry as Liu Yan, the three major items were enough for the two of them, and now this sewing machine...
"Mom, is this for me?"
Qiao Yu smiled and patted, "How is it? Is it nice?!"
"..." Confirmed.
She treats her mother-in-law as the older child, and her mother-in-law treats her as a sister.
This is also good.
only……
The mother-in-law wouldn't think too much, but she had to think too much.
"Mom, you bought me a sewing machine, but what about Sister Yan Zi? If she finds out, will she be upset?"
Qiao Yu waved his hands, "No, her husband is a technical consultant at the Hongqi Snack Factory. I think the money I give you two is not enough! If she really dares to object, she should just follow the military brats and get out of here! Don't come to our Zhou family again!"
Chen Shuhui: “…” She felt that her mother-in-law would do what she said.
The little goldfish also took it seriously, thought for a moment, tilted his head and said, "Mom, don't chase Big Brother away! Big Brother will be sad!"
"Hey, the leaky little cotton-padded jacket can talk today? And can you still think about your big brother?"
Little Goldfish: "My eldest brother cooks the best food at home."
"That's true."
"If it weren't for the pickled vegetables, pickled eggs, and sauerkraut that my eldest brother has been pickling for a year... our family would have become a food desert family!"
"..." Day by day, I learn new words from her!
Qiao Yu waved his hands, "Okay, eat yours quickly!"
"oh……"
Qiao Yu called Lao Zhou and Zhou Wu: "You two should move the sewing machine to the room first... It's Lao San's room!"
"Okay." The father and son said in unison.
After the father and son started to work, Qiao Yu pulled Chen Shuhui to sit down.
"Hurry up and eat. We have a lot of cloth saved at home. I'll give you some so you can make new clothes..."
"Mom, it's not a festival, why are you making clothes?"
"Who said that we only make clothes during festivals?"
Chen Shuhui thought about how often her mother-in-law came to her house before she married into the Zhou family, so she kept silent.
After hearing Qiao Yu say a few more words with great enthusiasm, Chen Shuhui said, "Mom, can I keep the cloth you gave me?"
"Don't you make new clothes for yourself?"
"It's me and Zhou Wu... If we have a baby, it will be a very tight time. Let's save these and make clothes for the baby later."
"No need! Wear your grandmother Chunzhi's clothes! Kid, what new clothes are you going to wear except during the Chinese New Year? Your figure has already been shaped, so make it for yourself! You won't have to cut it when you grow taller!"
Chen Shuhui thought about it and decided not to refuse.
Qiao Yu was particularly happy, "We women should dress up beautifully and look happy! It will also make the men look good! In the future, if they dare to hook up with questionable women outside, others will have to doubt their vision..."
"Ahem." Old Zhou, who happened to be coming downstairs, heard her voice and gave a signal.
Qiao Yu smiled nonchalantly and said to Chen Shuhui, "Eat, eat! I'm so hungry!"
After dinner, the man cleaned up the dishes and rushed to work. Xiaoyong and Xiaojinyu had already rushed to school after dinner.
Chen Shuhui had nothing to do, so she helped Zhou's mother feed the two children and put them to sleep before going upstairs to touch the new sewing machine.
Just as I was thinking about something, Qiao Yu came in with a few pieces of cloth, didn't even bother to knock on the door, and went into the room with two dry coughs.
Chen Shuhui came to her senses.
Qiao Yu then unfolded the drawings that he had been saving for a long time and showed them to Chen Shuhui: "Although our family is not short of money, if we ask your mother to make clothes from time to time, wouldn't it make people in this compound jealous? Fortunately, you married into the family. Take a look at these styles, pick a few for yourself, and make a few for me...
Well, you can also make sister outfits, just pick different colors, but the same style! Hey, you and I will both be eye-catching when we wear them out! I guarantee it will be the first in our compound!"
Hearing this, Chen Shuhui picked and chose one of them, "Let's go with this one. My shortcoming is my thick legs, and this skirt can cover it up. Mom, you can handle any style, so there's no need to think so much.
I like dark blue, what color do you like, mom?"
As soon as I raised my head, I met my mother-in-law's fierce gaze.
Chen Shuhui hesitated for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Mom?"
"You are a talking kid. No wonder the third brother loves you so much after getting married!"
Any style can be driven...
Look at this daughter-in-law, she accidentally told the truth.
"Mom!" she said shyly.
Chen Shuhui's voice was not loud, but her angry and embarrassed look was just like a kitten being tickled. Qiao Yu shook his head and felt that Zhou Wu had gotten away with it.
Zhou Wu looks like a rough guy, and I don’t know how he can be so caring towards Jiaohua.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
"Mom..."
Qiao Yu stopped thinking about it and came to his senses, saying, "As for me, I'll go with bright red. I originally liked lighter colors, but when you mentioned blue, red and blue matched best."
"OK."
Chen Shuhui helps take care of the children and does very little housework.
The men in the Zhou family are all capable of doing things, and the mother-in-law is generous with her pocket money, so the women don't need to do anything. The men/boys in the Zhou family made it after work or school. This skirt was sewn in just half a month.
Immediately, Qiao Yu put it on and tried it on.
Very close fitting.
