Chapter 255 Laughing or
crying Feng was so amused that she could only pat her belly and tell her to stop acting cute.
"My little ancestor, can you hide your fat just because you want to? If I really measure it like you do, the skirt I make won't fit me when I wear it."
After laughing, Jiang Fenghu entered the room and couldn't help but make fun of her.
"Look at your little waist, it's so fat that it's bulging out because you're holding your breath. You have to make new clothes. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be too fat to wear in two days."
Xiao Nuobao was trying hard, but when she heard this, she was so angry that she "popped" and fell on the kang.
Her two ingot-like feet fluttered helplessly.
Such a naive look made Feng and Jiang Fenghu cover their faces. One of them held the little guy down, and the other took the measuring tape to quickly measure his height. The
two-and-a-half-year-old baby grew fast.
Compared to the summer, Xiao Nuobao was two fingernails taller.
But of course, the little flesh had grown a lot. Looking at the extra length of the measuring tape, Feng suppressed her voice and only showed it to Li Qiqiao and the others. Xiao Nuobao still
had to save face. Seeing that her family members were laughing secretly, she hugged her arms like white lotus roots, and her little mouth was pouting so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it.
There was no other way, so Feng had to raise her voice and start coaxing this good girl again, "Second sister-in-law, they say that the flesh you grow now is not considered long. When you grow up and become slim, it will be a matter of a blink of an eye to lose weight, don't you think so?"
"That's not true." Li Qiqiao cooperated and kept clicking her tongue, "Mom, you don't know, when I was a child, everyone called me fat girl, and now I am as thin as a stick!"
The little nuobao's eyes lit up, and her mood immediately became bright again.
She lay on the kang, rolled around happily, and tugged at the second sister-in-law's clothes.
Feng and Li Qiqiao looked at each other, and both of them were trying to hold back their laughter.
But after the idle talk, it was time to do serious work, pick up the scissors and needles, and start cutting cloth to make clothes.
In autumn and winter, outer coats and outer skirts are not changed and washed frequently, mainly because the shirts worn inside can be wasted, so two more pieces need to be made.
Feng picked up two pieces of satin woven with silver threads and looked them up and down. "These two pieces of snow-blue and lotus-colored materials look rich, but they can't be worn against the skin with the silver threads, so make an outer jacket and a bodice for Nuobao respectively."
"Well, as for the shirt and jacket inside, we'll have to use some mulberry silk material. Mother, do you think this one with a rabbit running towards the moon pattern is okay?" Li Qiqiao also picked out.
"Let's find some stiff, stylish, and non-dirty satin to make a little skirt for Nuobao."
"These materials for woven gold makeup flowers will do. We have a lot of them at home, so there will definitely be some left over after we finish making them. When the time comes, we three will
make two each. We have to look presentable when we go to Xianquanju to meet guests." "As for the two pieces of stone blue, which are suitable for men, give them to Fengze and Mr. Xiao to make two identical long tunics."
In the room, Feng and Li Qiqiao discussed the matter and estimated that they would not be able to finish the work in half a month.
Sun Chunxue, with her big belly, poked her head over to join in the fun, but unfortunately her craftsmanship was too rough and she could not waste the good materials. She could only help out at best.
Little Nuobao was bored on the kang, so after playing around with her mother for a while, she felt hungry again and wanted to have some snacks to sharpen her teeth.
Li Qiqiao happened to have left five or six raw pickled crabs on the stove in the outer room, preparing to add cold dishes for lunch.
Little Nuobao also liked the raw pickled crabs.
But the crabs were too raw and cold, and Mrs. Feng was worried that the child had a delicate stomach and would get upset, so she didn't allow her to eat.
Seeing her mother busy on the kang, little Nuobao thought she had a chance to get some, so she secretly stepped on the bench and got off the kang, wanting to take a bite to satisfy her craving. But
Mrs. Feng was always on the lookout, and had already seen the little movements of the greedy cat.
After a pause, she took the needle and thread and went out of the inner room, and caught the greedy cat that was about to climb onto the stove.
Seeing Xiao Nuobao stretching out her little mouth and about to swallow a mouthful of crab roe, Feng had to pretend to be angry and came over to spank her little butt.
After taking the crab, looking at the wronged Xiao Nuobao, she couldn't be cruel, so she took half of the crab body without any dirt and let her suck it slowly.
Xiao Nuobao blinked in surprise, rubbed her little butt, and threw the crab into the bowl, then sat by the door holding the small bowl and ate it.
Xiao Nuobao couldn't bear to lick the crab body, and finally it was eaten into an empty shell in a few bites, but she still couldn't satisfy her hunger.
Just at this moment, Jiang Fengmiao came back from school, put down her school bag, and went to find Mrs. Xiao to learn accounting.
Xiao Nuobao's eyes lit up, and she quickly put down the small bowl, grabbed the corner of her fifth brother's clothes and followed him.
As soon as she entered the house, little Nuobao immediately hugged Grandma Xiao's arm and deliberately cried twice, "Grandma Xiao, Nuobao was spanked by her mother, sob, Nuobao is so heartbroken!"
The little fat girl with milky white skin, wearing a red headband on her head and an apricot-yellow double-breasted blouse with tassels, twisted her body chubbyly, not to mention how cute she was.
Grandma Xiao hugged her with resentment, and hurriedly asked the reason, and then called Mrs. Xiao over.
"Wanjun, please take care of me. Please make some crab meat crisps for lunch. This little darling loves to eat crabs. He can't eat them raw or cold, so he has to use more cooked ones." Grandma Xiao was also very willing to open her heart when she spoiled her children.
"Bring the pine nut milk puffs from the chest. They were just bought and are still crispy. Let our Nuobao have two pieces first."
Mrs. Xiao had been favored by the Jiang family because of what happened before. Now that she was needed, she agreed and went to the stove room.
Little Nuobao smiled with his eyes crooked, raised his feet and shouted, "Ah! Grandma Xiao is so nice, Nuobao loves Grandma Xiao so much~"
Anyway, she didn't really want to cry, but just wanted some snacks because her mouth was full.
Feng Miao on the side clapped his hands and laughed so hard that his teeth were not visible. Now that
his sister is satisfied, he can pick up the leftovers. It's good to have a sister!
Mrs. Xiao thought that she would be reluctant to leave her two children when she returned to Beijing in the future, so she wanted to spend more time with them now. "It just so happens that the Qiqiao Festival is coming soon. When the time comes, Grandma Xiao will be with you. Let's go to the city to see the lanterns and visit the temple fairs together. What do you think?"
When Xiao Nuobao heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.
"Okay, Grandma Xiao, Nuobao has never seen a lantern festival, hehe, I must go!"
...
The happy days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
The clothes for the whole family were made. Feng found time to sweep a few rooms, and took off the window paper that had become brittle in the summer, and bought new ones to paste on.
The villagers were now focusing on the autumn harvest, and they were reluctant to go home for dinner until the sun went down.
The village school was closed for a month so that the children could help with the work at home, and Zhang Xiucai could also have some free time to help his father take care of the crops.
However, not every family could use their children to work in the fields, and there were always some naughty boys who took advantage of the opportunity and made a lot of noise at this time.
Wangfu and his little group spent the whole day either playing with chickens and dogs or climbing trees to get bird eggs.
The adults were annoyed. These days, there were more cases of children being beaten in the village than usual.
As for Xianquanju, business was not only normal, but even more popular.
I don't know who spread the reputation of raw pickled crabs into the city, attracting many new customers who came here to try it.
Although raw pickled crabs are good dishes, they are too popular and hard to find.
Jiang Fengnian specially found two fishmongers at the dock and agreed to take in all the crabs every day, but the supply still could not meet the demand.
Li Qiqiao had no choice but to limit the quantity of sales.
Each guest room of Xianquanju can only buy one portion per day. If you buy more, it will be sold out, no matter how much money you pay.
At the end of the month, when Feng dragged Feng Miao to Xianquanju to settle the accounts, she found that this month's income was nearly half more than last month!
This made Feng very happy.
Not only did she give three taels of silver to all the workers in Xianquanju as a reward, but Feng Miao also got two taels. He was so happy that he staggered when he walked.
However, the business was too prosperous and attracted too much attention, which inevitably caused some troubles.
At noon, the widow Gu left the kitchen to deliver meals to each room.
When she came back, she found a sneaky figure sneaking into the kitchen with something in his hand!
