Before the convoy was ready to continue its journey, Mrs. Ye still asked Qingtian for his opinion.
"My dear, Madam Qin wants you to go to the front and ride in the carriage with them. Do you want to go?"
When Qingtian heard this, he suddenly remembered the handsome boy in the car.
She was about to nod, but when she saw Ye Changnian still hiccuping beside her, she immediately hesitated.
Mrs. Ye picked up her son and handed him to Ye Lao San. She smiled and said to Qingtian, "Don't pay attention to him. He will be fine in a while."
Ye Changrui said sensibly, "I feel weak on sunny days, so it's more comfortable to ride in a carriage."
"That's right, our Changrui is still sensible." Mrs. Ye nodded repeatedly.
Ye Ersao took out a set of clothes from her bag that she had made in the past few days and prepared to change Qingtian into them.
This is a light red jacket and skirt, the material is almost brand new, and there are some red plum blossoms embroidered on it.
"Second sister-in-law has great craftsmanship. This dress is so beautiful!"
Guo was staring at the scene with her eyes wide open. Such good and new material, better than the wedding dress she wore when she got married, why was it used to make clothes for Qingtian?
Could it be the best thing that Old Lady Ye has kept in her closet?
Just as Guo was about to step forward, she heard Sister Ye say, "This material looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
"Did you steal the treasures from your mother's bottom box?" Guo thought she had guessed right, so she jumped out and asked immediately.
Mrs. Ye was completely confused by her question.
"What are you talking about? Who stole my mother's things? This is made from my dowry clothes."
"Bah!" Guo spat. "You've been married for almost ten years, and your dowry clothes are still so new? You must be kidding!"
Mrs. Ye slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I was wondering why it looked so familiar. Isn't it your dowry?
"I still remember that you wore this during the Chinese New Year the first year you came home.
"No one in the village had worn fabrics of this color at the time, you were the first!
"When I stood in the snow, I looked so bright and beautiful. Everyone in the village praised me!"
"Sister-in-law has a good memory, isn't it just this one?"
Mrs. Ye glanced at Guo and continued, "What a pity! Such nice clothes were only worn for one night, thirty-eight."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye immediately asked, "Why is that?"
"Early in the morning on the first day of the New Year, I was about to go visit relatives with my mother. Before I even stepped out of the courtyard, my fourth son threw a firecracker at me.
"It was a nice dress, but there was a hole as big as a bowl on the hem.
"It even exploded, with sparks flying everywhere and lots of little black holes left behind!"
Mrs. Ye nodded and agreed, "That's right, I was so distressed at that time!
"My sister-in-law cried all day at home and didn't even go to visit relatives.
"My mother was so angry that she didn't care that it was New Year's Day. She pushed the fourth child onto the kang and beat him hard with a broom."
Guo never expected that this matter would eventually involve her family.
She quickly slipped away and prepared to run away, but was stopped by Mrs. Ye San.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you go ask the fourth brother? He was young back then, so he has nothing to say.
"Now that you're married, when will you compensate my second sister-in-law for her clothes?"
Guo lost her confidence and her voice immediately dropped an octave.
"It's common for children to be naughty, didn't mom beat him too?
"We haven't split up, we're all one family. Talking about compensation or not is so hurtful.
"Besides, it's been so many years since this happened, it's hard for my eldest and second sisters-in-law to still remember it.
"I'll go back and ask the fourth brother, he might not even remember it!"
Guo laughed dryly, found an excuse and quickly slipped away.
Sister-in-law Ye San didn't give her any face at all. She looked at her retreating figure and shouted, "Then you better ask clearly!"
Mrs. Ye touched the finely stitched jacket in her hands lovingly. Only then did she finally understand that the reason why Mrs. Ye had taken the trouble to embroider red plum blossoms on it was to cover up the holes that were originally burned by sparks.
"I never thought you'd still kept this dress!"
"I just couldn't bear to part with this piece of material," said Mrs. Ye, a sweet smile on her face. "You don't know, this was the year we got engaged. My second son went to the county town to work as a farmhand for three months. He didn't want to take a ride with the wages he earned, so he walked all day and all night to the provincial capital to buy it for me. Otherwise, why would I cry so hard at that time?"
Mrs. Ye was moved by what she heard and kept saying, "Then why don't you keep it? After all, it's a token of Second Brother's kindness. Why would you alter Qingtian's clothes?"
“I kept it at first because I couldn’t bear to part with it, but time has passed and no one cares about that nonsense anymore.
"I haven't thrown it away because I thought if I have a daughter in the future, I can just alter it and wear it for her.
"Who would have thought I would give birth to three brats in a row, leaving me with no place to use all my skills.
"If you ask me, I'm glad I didn't throw it away. Look, after this modification, it looks so nice wearing it on a sunny day!
As they were talking, the three of them had already changed Qingtian's clothes.
Although Qingtian had suffered a lot of abuse in the Shan family before, she had a good foundation.
Now that she has been carefully cared for by Mrs. Ye for more than half a month, she looks more and more like a beauty.
As soon as she put on the light red coat and skirt, her lips and teeth immediately looked red and white.
Mrs. Ye Er took out two headbands made of leftover materials like a magic trick.
Mrs. Ye took Qingtian's hair apart, combed it into two small buns, tied a hairband on it, and let it hang down on both sides. She looked so beautiful.
"Our sunny day is so beautiful." Mrs. Ye couldn't help but kiss her little face hard.
Big Brother Ye couldn't help but come over and praise her, "Our Qingtian doesn't look like a country kid at all. From this perspective, she looks just like the daughter of a wealthy family."
"It's no wonder that my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is so good." Seeing Qingtian dressed up like a fairy, Sister Ye couldn't help but feel moved. "It seems that I really need to learn needlework from my sister-in-law, so that she can dress up Qingtian beautifully every day in the future."
"Sister-in-law, I don't like what you said!" Second Sister-in-law Ye deliberately frowned and said, "Qingtian still calls me Second Aunt! Whatever he does in the future, how can I care?"
"Look at you, you're being so picky! That's not what I meant at all!" Mrs. Ye said quickly, "I just want to experience the joy of dressing up my daughter myself!"
Mrs. Ye went to find Li Fu with Qingtian, who had been dressed up.
Unexpectedly, Li Fu was stunned when he saw Qingtian, and the surprise in his eyes was very obvious.
"Uncle Li, what's wrong?" Mrs. Ye hugged the child worriedly.
Li Fu finally came to his senses and said wittily, "Little Qingtian is dressed so beautifully, but my old eyesight is blurry and I didn't recognize her at first glance. I was even wondering when you changed the child!"
When Mrs. Ye heard Li Fu praising Qingtian, she felt sweeter than drinking honey.
"Let's go quickly, the convoy is about to leave."
As Li Fu led his men forward, he secretly wiped his sweat in his heart.
No wonder my wife said that as soon as she saw Qingtian, she felt that he looked very familiar and they had a good impression of each other.
He looks so much like that guy, it would be a miracle if he didn't look familiar!
