Chapter 429 Big Sweater, Big Cotton Pants
These are the housework ingrained in the bones of women of this era.
Jiang Wanwan: "It's not like the family can't get by without you. Make more money to buy food. Besides, you don't have to stay in school every day. If you're worried, just cook it in advance and put it in the pot. You can buy a freezer later and put the food in the freezer. It won't go bad in the summer. When you want to eat, put it in the pot and cook it anytime."
“Besides, Shen Xingjiang still cooks in my house.”
Xu Lan was fine with other things, but when she heard Shen Xingjiang cooking, she subconsciously replied, “Old Four is cooking, isn’t it because your cooking is not delicious?”
Jiang Wanwan: "Sister-in-law, your words are too hurtful."
"I'm here to comfort you, and you're still complaining about my terrible cooking."
The electric fan started to hum, blowing away the summer heat and the scent of roses outside.
Xu Lan realized that she had said the wrong thing. The fourth son's wife was quite particular about cooking. Maybe she was too perfect in other aspects, so the fact that she couldn't cook or make clothes was a blow to her.
"I just said the wrong thing. You don't have time to learn. You're busy like a top every day. If you had the time to learn, you would have become a great chef long ago."
Jiang Wanwan could still hear the hidden meaning: "Sister-in-law, what's in your bag?"
Xu Lan opened the triangular pocket and found a white sweater inside. In the middle of the sweater, two flowers were knitted with pink wool. The five petals were plump and looked very cute.
The stitches on the sweater are so fine that the knitter has put a lot of thought and time into it.
The sweater is a loose version, and it is even looser than Jiang Wanwan's current belly.
In addition to the sweater, there is also a pair of cotton trousers. The lining of the trousers is made of floral pure cotton cloth, and the outside is dark blue hot velvet cloth. The trousers are made in a children's style, with loose legs, a pocket in the front, a backrest in the back, and two pockets extending from the shoulders, with buttons fastened to the buttons of the pockets.
The buttons are pink.
Xu Lan took out her sweater and cotton pants and shook off the dust on them: "Wanwan, come here and try this sweater to see if it fits you. Also, see if the pockets on the cotton pants are small enough."
"I estimated that your belly would be made in October. Winter is coming fast here and the weather is getting cold early. You should wear a thick sweater and big cotton pants to ensure that the baby in your belly will not freeze."
Jiang Wanwan looked at the sweater and cotton pants and reached out to touch them. The sweater was very soft and the wool felt very valuable. The small flower patterns on it were very delicate and cute.
The same goes for the cotton trousers. The stitching is fine and there is not a single loose thread. The cotton filling inside is soft and evenly laid out, so it must be very comfortable to wear.
Jiang Wanwan's eyes were moist and she bit her lower lip: "Sister-in-law, you are so busy every day and you have to take care of the children. How do you have time to do these for me?"
Xu Lan closed the curtains and said, "I made it before going to bed last night. I love making clothes and other things. Try them on and see if you like them."
Jiang Wanwan wiped away her tears and put on a sweater and cotton pants.
Xu Lan waited for her to finish changing and then turned around.
I saw Jiang Wanwan wearing a fluffy white sweater, dark blue cotton pants, and her belly was round, just like a little child.
She burst out laughing, walked forward and pulled at the sweater, then looked at the cotton pants, thinking they were very good, and nodded with satisfaction: "I'll leave it here for you, wear it when the weather gets cold."
She remembered all the sizes and would make another one for Wanwan later.
After all, she was not at ease with the clothes she bought outside.
It’s so cold in winter, we can’t let her get frozen. There are three children in her belly, and if anything happens to them, Wanwan will be finished.
Xu Lan secretly thought that no matter what child, none of them was as important as Wan Wan.
"Okay, take it off."
It's very hot.
It was indeed very hot, but Jiang Wanwan was still reluctant to take it off. She walked to the table, picked up the small round mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror conceitedly: "It looks really good. After I give birth to my sister-in-law, you can make me a thin one. I will give you money then, and you won't do it for nothing."
Xu Lan thought she was joking and said, "That's great. I'll make clothes for you and be your tailor. You can pay me a salary every month. Is that okay?"
Jiang Wanwan was eager to say: "Okay!"
"Take it off quickly, it's so hot that your forehead is sweating."
Xu Lan saw sweat dripping from Jiang Wanwan's head and felt so distressed that she went over to wipe the sweat off her forehead and wanted her to take it off.
Jiang Wanwan was still a little reluctant to leave, but Cheng Lingxue happened to bring the children back.
Cheng Lingxue walked into the room with a popsicle, and her eyes lit up when she saw the clothes on Jiang Wanwan.
"Wow, where did you buy this dress? It's so cute. I want to buy one too!!!"
Sui Sui was holding a popsicle. The hawthorn-shaped popsicle looked particularly large in his hand. He said softly, "My mother made it. She would make it very late every day. The small flowers on it were made several times. Chen Tian drew the flowers, and my mother thought they looked pretty, so she wove them on."
Chen Tian has a talent for painting, and many things become very cute in her hands.
The little flower is plump and the little grass can stretch. Although the child is young, he has many wonderful ideas in his mind.
Guoguo's eyes widened as she stared at Jiang Wanwan: "Aunt, you are so pretty. When you grow up, I will make clothes for you too!"
Xu Lan: “…”
Fortunately, it's a girl. If it's a boy, when he grows up, he will deceive countless girls with his smooth talk.
"Ling Xue likes it. I'll make one for you later."
Xu Lan also likes Cheng Lingxue very much because Cheng Lingxue is good to Jiang Wanwan.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!!! I won't be polite then!!!" Cheng Lingxue is not a fake person, she will accept it if she likes it.
"Sister-in-law, you can make me clothes for any season. I'll pay for the fabric and thread."
She knows her limits. She can ask for it, but she can't ask for it for free.
Sister Xu Lan would definitely not want to be paid openly. She would only pay the material fee openly, and the labor fee would be paid after she finished making the clothes, and she would buy some food for Guoguo and Suisui, as well as some small leather shoes, etc.
She really likes Sister Xu Lan’s craftsmanship and wants to wear it!
Xu Lan knew that Cheng Lingxue didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so she agreed: "Okay, I'll take you to choose fabrics and yarns later. What kind of fabric do you like? You can buy it yourself. I'll draw a few patterns for you to choose from later."
Cheng Lingxue nodded wildly.
Xu Lan smiled: "You guys go out first, I'll help your sister-in-law change her sweater and cotton pants, so she won't get too hot later."
Cheng Lingxue took the children out.
After changing clothes, Jiang Wanwan was sweating. Xu Lan turned off the fan and waited for a while before turning it back on again.
Cheng Lingxue came in with a popsicle: "Sister-in-law Xu Lan, have one. It's delicious."
Although her family is wealthy, she has never been picky about food since she was a child, and she is not picky about food. She can live anywhere and eat anything.
Xu Lan took the hawthorn popsicle and took a bite. The cool hawthorn popsicle melted in her mouth and went down her esophagus, cooling her down all the way.
"Wanwan, there is something I need to tell you."
Jiang Wanwan couldn't eat popsicles, so she drank boiled water to relieve the heat: "You say."
Xu Lan: "Last night, grandma and Third Uncle had a quarrel."
