Seeing how happy he was, Shen Meiling couldn't help but smile and say:
"Look how happy you are. What do you need so much money for?"
Give it to me, I'll keep it for you.
Xiao Zhouye immediately looked at his mother warily and hid the money behind his back.
"No, this is the New Year's money my sister-in-law gave me, and I want to keep it myself."
Shen Meiling was speechless.
"So much money, and you squandered it all in just a few days after it got into your hands."
"Mom is saving this for you, so you can use it when you get married!"
Jiang Wenwan tried hard to suppress her laughter. Marrying a wife? Hahaha, this is no good. It's better to draw candy than a cake for such a little kid.
Sure enough, six-year-old Zhou Ye said:
"young married woman?
I don't want to get married, I want to buy lots and lots of candy.
"You can't eat a wife like candy, can you?"
Shen Meiling reached out and tapped his little head.
"Okay, then I'll save it for you and buy you candy later."
Aren't you afraid of ruining your teeth? What will you do when you ruin your teeth like Little Tiger?
The little boy's eyes widened as he thought of his brother, Little Tiger, who had lost two front teeth and spoke with a lisp, and he shuddered at the thought.
"No, no, I don't want to be toothless like Brother Tiger."
Shen Meiling seized the opportunity to say:
"Then you can't eat so much candy. Give me the money, and I'll keep it for you!"
Just as Xiao Zhouye was about to take out the money, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"No, I can buy something else even if I don't want candy."
After saying that, she clutched his red envelope and money and ran away.
He ran off to hide the money.
Jiang Wenwan and Shen Meiling watched his retreating figure with amusement, exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Meiling whispered:
“He had forgotten about the money he hid last year, but I still managed to find it.”
Jiang Wenwan also found it funny.
"Kids are very forgetful. They forget about the money they hid during the Lunar New Year in just a month or two."
But now that he's a year older, he can remember for another month.
Shen Meiling couldn't help but laugh after she finished speaking.
"Hahaha, in a few years they'll probably remember that they hid their money, and they won't be so easy to fool anymore."
Jiang Wenwan also smiled.
Seeing her smile, Shen Meiling couldn't help but sigh:
"Stay here for a couple more days, since Dunzi won't be back anytime soon anyway."
You have nothing to do at home all by yourself!
Jiang Wenwan was still thinking about her goose.
"No, I'm going back today. My geese are still at Sister Song's house, and it's not good to keep bothering her."
Hearing her say that, Shen Meiling said nothing.
Then he got up and went inside, and came out a little while later with a bag in his hand.
"I knitted you a scarf, do you think it fits?"
Jiang Wenwan was surprised; she hadn't expected him to knit her a scarf.
Shen Meiling took it out for her to see; it was a red scarf with a few small pink flowers woven on it.
It's obvious that they put a lot of effort into it.
My heart instantly warmed. I reached out and touched the scarf; it was made of wool, not prickly at all, and very soft.
These days, yarn is hard to find; it's considered a scarce commodity.
"Beautiful, so beautiful!"
"Mom, you knitted this so well! There are even flowers! How did you knit them on? It's amazing!"
Shen Meiling was showered with praise, and seeing how much he loved it, her smile never faded.
"I'm glad you like it. These pink flowers are crocheted with pink yarn. I originally wanted to knit them all in red."
Then I thought, "Let's add some flowers; it'll look nice. You young people would probably like that."
Jiang Wenwan couldn't knit sweaters in her previous life, and she hasn't acquired that skill in this life either.
"Mom, do you take on apprentices?"
I want to become your disciple!
Her words made Shen Meiling smile.
"What do you mean by taking on apprentices? If you want to learn, I'll teach you. I happen to have some leftover yarn here."
It's gray and blue. I knitted gray for your dad, and blue for Xiaoye.
I haven't knitted the tuft yet. If you want to learn, I can teach you, and you can knit it.
Huh?
Jiang Wenwan is funny.
“Okay! Mom, you teach me, and I’ll knit it for him.”
Shen Meiling was just waiting for her to say that!
I've knitted scarves for my stepson before, but I've never seen him wear one.
This time, Shen Meiling thought it best to have his wife knit it for him.
Jiang Wenwan looked at the two long needles.
"Goodness, this needle is really long."
Her words made Shen Meiling laugh.
He took two long bamboo needles and began to learn from Shen Meiling's instructions.
She tried knitting two stitches and it was alright!
“Scarves are usually made in stockinette stitch. You only need to knit about 30 stitches. The more stitches you knit, the wider the scarf will be.”
Look at this one I knitted for you, it's only 20 stitches. Men knit it wider so it looks nicer.
If you want to add a different color of thread, just tie a knot here to connect the thread.
But since you're a beginner, take it slow.
My yarn is thick; the finer yarn requires more stitches.
Jiang Wenwan holds a needle in each hand and fiddles with it; once you get the hang of it, it's actually quite simple.
Just knit the bottom one or two sections to form the base, and then knit upwards along this base.
Shen Meiling watched as she knitted towels with remarkable skill.
She thought to herself, "This daughter-in-law is really easy to get along with."
Unlike what people in the residential compound say, whoever's mother-in-law is difficult to take care of.
Whose daughter-in-law is so unruly, lazy, greedy, and even bullies her mother-in-law?
She felt that her daughter-in-law was quite good.
I went hunting a while ago and brought them a wild donkey.
It's good that Ono likes her too.
