"Where did you buy it? Your sister-in-law must have made it herself!
Look at your sister-in-law, she can make clothes. How beautiful are these clothes?
I ask you to learn how to make clothes every day, but you still don't want to.
Even the buttons you sew are crooked. When you go to Captain Zhang's house in the future, won't you do the same?
If you keep doing this, I think it would be a shame for Captain Zhang to come to you."
Zhou Huihui was speechless after hearing what her mother said.
"Mom, how do you know I won't do it?
I am now learning how to do it from my sister-in-law.”
As she spoke, she came to Jiang Manman and said flatteringly:
"Sister-in-law, please teach me!
Did you really make this dress yourself?
This is so beautiful!
I guarantee that if you wear this dress outside, it will definitely be the first one in our military compound."
Jiang Manman just wants to be low-key and not so high-profile.
“Do you think it looks good?
I think our body shapes are similar, so I'll give this one to you!"
"No, I can't give it to her. Let her do it herself. It won't take much effort."
Zhou Huihui smiled awkwardly.
"Mom, I want red. I remember you had a red cloth."
Mother Zhou rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.
"She hasn't even gotten married yet, and she's already started taking money from her parents' family!
Just wait for me to get it for you!"
Jiang Manman was curious about what kind of bright red cloth it was; she only liked solid-colored ones.
Of course, if the print on it is nice, she will like it too.
But the prints at this time are generally more exaggerated and festive.
Sure enough, after a while, Zhou's mother took out a piece of...the kind of cloth used for the large flowered jackets in Northeast China.
Jiang Manman was speechless. Are clothes made of this kind of cloth really beautiful?
But it is obvious that Zhou Huihui thinks it looks good.
Holding the flowered cloth, Jiang Manman said happily:
"Sister-in-law, look, isn't this piece of cloth my mother has beautiful?
I've been wanting this for a long time, can you make two sets, one for each of us?"
It is absolutely impossible to let Jiang Manman wear such flowered cloth out.
“No, thanks.
You wear it!
I like solid colors, not flowers."
Zhou Huihui thought she was being polite to her on purpose.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite to me. Let's each have one."
Even Zhou's mother said:
"You don't have to spoil her, this cloth is enough for both of you to make one set each!
It’s your first time coming here during the Chinese New Year, so let’s celebrate.”
Jiang Manman really didn't appreciate the big flowered jacket.
"Mom, I don't need it. I think the plain one looks good.
If my younger sister likes this one, I will make two for her to keep as spare clothes.”
Zhou Huihui hugged her arms.
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind. Will you really make two for me?"
Mother Zhou had a gloomy face.
"Don't make me angry on New Year's Day!
One for each person, otherwise you won’t even get this one.”
Since Zhou's mother, the head of the family, had spoken, Zhou Huihui no longer dared to ask for two pieces.
Jiang Manman could only make one for herself.
Forget it, just wear it!
She just thought of it as entertaining her parents with colorful clothes.
Although the flowered jacket was finally finished, Jiang Manman still made a final struggle.
Ask Zhou Ye to go to the city to buy a batch of military green materials.
"Mom, I want to make two army green cotton jackets to wear!"
When Zhou's mother heard her say this, she nodded immediately.
"Do it! If you can do it, make more!"
At this time, ordinary people were not prohibited from wearing military green clothes.
It’s okay if you make it look a bit like a military uniform, as long as you don’t actually wear the uniform.
At that time, there was a term called pseudo military uniform, which meant that the uniform was made to look very similar to a military uniform.
To satisfy the fantasies of those who want to be soldiers but cannot.
This is the kind of clothes Jiang Manman is making now.
She would rather wear a military uniform than a flowery jacket.
But what she made was definitely different from what the military used.
Look at the army green jacket she made.
Mother Zhou's eyes lit up.
"Oh, this one looks good, better than what I'm wearing.
I want this one, make another one for me, and give this one to me!"
Seeing that Zhou's mother wanted it, Jiang Manman became even happier.
“Okay, Mom, wear it if you want.
I’ll make another one.”
By the 29th of the lunar year, she had already completed 4 pieces.
Two for myself and two for Zhou's mother.
As for the big flowered jacket, she gave it to Zhou Huihui.
Zhou Huihui was extremely happy to receive her gift.
"Sister-in-law, wuwu sister-in-law, you are so good to me, you are my dear sister-in-law!"
"It's just two pieces of clothing, look at what you have accomplished."
Zhou's mother complained about her daughter in an unpleasant tone.
The more she looked at Zhou Huihui, the more she disliked her.
Zhu Huihui stuck out her tongue. She didn’t even know her own mother.
"Mom, now that you have your sister-in-law as a comparison, do you feel that she is just someone else's child, better in every way?"
