Speaking of military coats, Zhou Ye thought of the duck down they had.
It's quite cold on the Mohe River side near Russia.
I'll make clothes out of the duck down your sister-in-law and I have saved and mail them to you later.
I heard that clothes made of duck down are very warm. "
Hearing him say this, Zhou Lei's eyes lit up.
“Okay, bro!
Do you have duck down?
If you have duck down, please give me a duck down jacket!
I know how to solve the problem of duck down getting hairy. I have seen a kind of fabric sold in the city that can solve the problem of down getting hairy very well.
Tomorrow, I can’t do that tomorrow. It’s New Year’s Day tomorrow.
After the Chinese New Year, buy more and take them back when you leave.
You can make a few sets yourself!
Of course I still have to make two sets for my parents!"
Zhou's father came back from outside and heard them talking and asked curiously.
"Make two sets of what?"
"Let's talk about making two sets of down jackets!"
Hearing what Zhou Lei said, Zhou's father frowned.
“What is a down jacket?”
"It's the duck feathers stuck in the clothes."
Father Zhou frowned when he heard this.
"The one with duck feathers? Wouldn't that stink?"
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him.
"Of course it doesn't stink. I heard that some foreign countries have space suits for flying airplanes that use this kind of stuff.
I just don't know if it will drill out!
If you have duck feathers, you can do it first.
If there really is a kind of anti-feather fabric, I will raise a flock of ducks and pluck their feathers.”
Zhou Ye nodded.
"Yes, we heard on the news that astronauts use that kind.
That's why we wanted to give it a try.
Another thing, didn’t there happen to be an incident of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar before?
After being criticized, we didn’t dare to exchange it for sugar. Besides, we didn’t lack that little sugar.
You can only keep it for yourself.
It just so happens that we raised a lot of ducks on our pig farm this year.
The cured ducks I brought to you were raised in our pig farm.
We exchanged the ducks with the pig farm, and then Manman made it.
She has good cooking skills and the food she makes is delicious.
Your son has grown a lot fatter under her care."
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him and asked, "How dare you say that?"
But considering that you are injured, I am too lazy to say anything to you.
Take Manman to buy some new clothes tomorrow. Chinese New Year is in two days. If you don’t buy her new clothes, she will have to wear them anyway, right?”
Zhou Ye knew that Jiang Manman didn't like those new clothes very much.
"Mom, I remember we have a sewing machine at home, right?"
When he asked, Zhou's mother nodded.
“Yes, but I’m too lazy to do it!
I was able to make a few sets for you in the past few years, but now that you are all wearing military uniforms, I will save the trouble."
Zhou Ye looked at Jiang Manman, who nodded and smiled:
"Okay, I'll make my own clothes for the New Year.
Mom, do you want it? I'll make you a set.
There is a tailor shop next to our house. The old tailor was very kind to me and often taught me how to make clothes.
Later, I learned how to do it and often helped him.”
Mother Zhou's eyes lit up.
“You really gonna do it?
Okay, we'll make it after we finish eating dumplings."
Zhou's mother also became interested and wanted to know what kind of clothes her daughter-in-law made looked like.
But she was already prepared, ready to praise the clothes Jiang Manman made no matter whether they were beautiful or not.
At noon, everyone gathered together to eat dumplings. After eating the dumplings, Jiang Manman went to make clothes with Zhou's mother.
Jiang Manman's craftsmanship is so good that when she ran a clothing store, she made many of the clothes herself.
He even made samples for a small clothing factory near his home.
At this time, the most popular item among boys is the sailor shirt.
Girls like clothes made of cool and nylon fabrics.
But now in winter, people all wear cotton-padded jackets, and the rich like to wear woolen coats.
Most wool coats at this time are made of wool, which feels soft and light to the touch.
She made a cotton-padded jacket for herself, the style was the same, but it looked particularly good with a waistline.
She happened to have a piece of cloth in a coupling color, which was just right for a pretty young wife to wear, not looking too flashy nor too pink.
Mother Zhou nodded repeatedly as she looked at the clothes she made.
"Not bad, not bad, your clothes are really well made, the stitching is pressed twice, so it is strong and durable.
The style of this dress is a little different from what we usually wear. Did you make your waist a little tighter?
I thought so! It looks much better than the big and fat ones I'm wearing."
Jiang Manman smiled and looked at herself in the mirror. The dress she made had a red collar.
After all, it’s the New Year, so something bright and festive would be better.
"Sister-in-law, your dress is so beautiful. Please tell me where you bought it. I want to buy a red one."
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter who had not been home all day.
