Wen Yuexian smiled and nodded when she heard this. "Oh, yes, look at me, I've forgotten the time. Let's go cook."
Wen Yuexian started to get busy as she spoke. She put on an apron, walked into the kitchen, and began to prepare dinner.
Su Mianmian helped to light the fire. The two worked together in perfect harmony, and soon the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
Su Mianmian and Wen Yuexian had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, the aroma filling the air and making everyone's mouth water. At the table, everyone sat together, laughing and chatting.
After dinner, the two children lay side by side on the kang, reading the picture book intently.
They sometimes talked in low voices and sometimes laughed happily, adding a lot of fun to this warm evening.
The adults didn't know what to do. Su Mianmian thought about it and pretended to take out some cloth from her suitcase, which was actually a space.
"Mom, Aunt Jiang, Aunt Shu, why don't you make some clothes? I was planning to have someone make a few sets, but I didn't have time. Now I have nothing to do, so I'll do some of this to kill time."
Wen Yuexian and the other two's eyes lit up and they nodded.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian handed cloth of different colors to the three people.
Mrs. Shen looked at Su Mianmian and didn't give her any, and she was a little confused for a moment, "Mianmian, why don't you give it to me?"
Su Mianmian sat next to Old Lady Shen and took her arm, “Grandma Shen, please stop sewing. It’s not good for your eyes.”
"Yes, Aunt Chen, just sit down and chat with us." Wen Yuexian smiled.
Jiang Ya also smiled and agreed: "Yes, Aunt Chen, we are here, so you won't be bored."
Old Mrs. Shen knew that they were concerned about her and nodded with a smile.
The two little sisters Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing also joined the ranks of making clothes.
Su Qingqing has been dexterous since she was a child. Needlework is no problem for her. She learned it very well, and the cloth in her hands gradually took shape under her skillful hands.
However, when it was Su Mianmian's turn, she was in trouble.
Although she is usually lively and active and has great skills, she is really helpless when faced with this small embroidery needle.
Not long after she picked up the needle and thread, she was pricked with several needles, leaving several faint red marks on her fingers.
Jiang Ya watched from the side and couldn't help laughing: "Mianmian, let's not push ourselves. Look at this perfectly good hand, you've pricked it into such a mess."
After hearing this, Su Mianmian felt that she was indeed not cut out for this job, so she put down the needle and thread.
She decided to just sit there and watch them sew.
Su Mianmian stared at this and that, and suddenly a drop of water fell on her nose.
She was a little confused and looked up at the roof, wondering how could such a good house be leaking? But she didn't think much about it and continued to sit in the chair and watch them busy.
Not long after, another drop of water fell on her forehead.
Now, Su Mianmian completely understood that the room was really leaking.
She quickly found a basin and placed it where she had just sat to catch the dripping water. Then she moved her chair and sat down next to Old Lady Shen, continuing to watch everyone make clothes.
Seeing this, Old Lady Shen asked with concern, "Mianmian, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Mianmian shook her head and said with a smile: “It’s okay, Grandma Shen, it’s just that there is a little water leak in the room. I have put the basin away.”
After Su Mianmian sat down, she suddenly remembered that this room was leaking, and the other two rooms might also be leaking.
She frowned and worried in her heart: If other rooms start leaking too, it will be troublesome.
So she quickly stood up and decided to check out the other two rooms.
She explained her plan to everyone, then picked up the remaining basins and went to the house of Yun Shu and the two little ones.
She first came to Yunshu's room and saw that a corner of the roof was leaking, with drops of water falling like beads from a broken string.
Then she came to the house of the two little ones.
There were also signs of leaking on the roof. The leak was right on the kang in the room of the two little guys, so the sheets and other things were a little wet. She quickly placed another basin on the leaking area.
Then she took out new sheets from the box, changed them, and returned to her room.
"Mianmian, is the water leakage serious?" Yun Shu asked after seeing someone come back.
"It's not serious, it just keeps dripping. The sheets and other things in the two little ones' room are all wet. I replaced them with dry ones."
"That'll do."
Soon it was past nine o'clock in the evening, and everyone felt a little sleepy, so they went back to their rooms and fell asleep.
………………*
The next morning
When Su Mianmian woke up, she heard the sound of rain outside. She lifted the curtains and looked out the window, and found that the rain was lighter than yesterday.
She sighed. She felt a little bored. At work, she was busy like a top, spinning non-stop every day. When she finally had some time to rest, she couldn't sit still.
She turned her head to look to the side and saw Su Qingqing still immersed in sleep, breathing softly.
Su Mianmian thought, there is nothing to do anyway, so I might as well take a nap.
So she lay back down on the bed and closed her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Mianmian woke up again.
She opened her eyes and found that the bed next to her was empty. She thought that Su Qingqing had gotten up.
She looked at the time on her wrist and found it was already past ten o'clock. She got dressed and prepared to wash up.
When she walked into the kitchen, she found that everyone had woken up and was gathered together chatting while cooking.
"Mianmian, are you awake?" Wen Yuexian took the time to look up at her daughter who was scooping water into the basin while washing vegetables.
Su Mianmian rubbed her sleepy eyes, seemingly still not fully awake from her dream. She nodded drowsily in response to her mother's question.
"Go wash up quickly, the meal is ready." Wen Yuexian urged softly.
Su Mianmian heard this and immediately quickened her washing speed. She quickly washed her face, combed her hair briefly, and then sat down at the table.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, emitting an enticing aroma.
After dinner, everyone gathered together and started sewing clothes to pass the time.
Wen Yuexian quickly finished sewing the pair of pants she had sewn yesterday. She looked at the pants in her hands with satisfaction, a faint smile on her face.
Then, she gently handed the pants to Su Mianmian and said, "Go try them on and see if they fit."
Su Mianmian took the pants, her heart full of anticipation. She turned and walked towards the two little ones' room, ready to change into the new pants.
Su Mianmian changed into new pants in the house. She gently pulled up the waistband and felt very comfortable.
She turned back and showed everyone her new pants.
Jiang Ya's eyes lit up immediately, and she said in surprise, "It fits perfectly! These pants are like they were tailor-made for you."
