Li Jianguo put down his axe and came over: "Go ahead and do it, look at your pathetic self."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled as she took her father-in-law's measurements:
"Dad, you're as fit as a young man. You'll look so smart in a black corduroy outfit."
Li Jianguo didn't say it, but he was secretly delighted. He hadn't worn corduroy in all these years.
Just then, the third brother returned from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he heard that his sister-in-law was going to make new clothes for the whole family, and they were corduroy.
"Sister-in-law, is it true?" The third brother's eyes lit up.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers also chimed in, "Sister-in-law, we want some too!"
"Okay, okay, I'll make them all for you," Ye Xiaoxiao said.
"But you must promise me you'll study hard."
"Oh, but we didn't attend any classes this semester!"
The seventh child immediately wore a sour face upon hearing that he had to go to school.
