"Mother, look at Xiaoman'er, whose personality does she take after? She's so naughty and mischievous, she doesn't act like a proper girl at all!"
After much deliberation, Liu decided that talking about her daughter would not evoke any bad memories for her mother-in-law.
“Mischievous children are smart! This personality of hers is quite similar to her younger brother's. Her younger brother has always been mischievous, and he's the naughtiest one in the family.”
Yue Jiuyue quite likes mischievous children, of course, this mischief is within limits and involves a sense of self-awareness; they won't bully others or cause trouble maliciously, and they can't be her children.
Thinking about those parents who are driven crazy by their unruly children, Yue Jiuyue suddenly felt that being a mother, especially a mother of several teenagers and young adults, doesn't seem so bad.
If the children were still young when she transmigrated, she would definitely have made a "how to be a stepmother" performance, ensuring that the four children had a complete childhood.
If the children are still young, and the original owner's husband is still alive, then she'd be incredibly embarrassed!
"Yes, my fourth brother has always been very lively."
Lady Liu smiled.
Perhaps it really is because "having surplus food at home means having peace of mind." In the past, when she looked at Lin Chaobei's always smiling face, she felt uncomfortable. Although Lin Chaobei had always been very hardworking and capable, she just couldn't stand him. However, she didn't say anything and had no right to speak.
Now, she feels that Lin Chaobei's personality isn't so bad. If the whole family were dull and taciturn, what a terrible family atmosphere it would be. At the very least, Xiaoman'er wouldn't be as lively and adorable as she is now.
Yue Jiuyue gave a perfunctory "hmm," her entire attention drawn to Liu Shi's tailoring movements. This was the first step in making clothes, but she just didn't know how to do it.
Liu took out Xiaoman'er's winter clothes from the previous year, placed them on the flat cloth, and took the charcoal she had prepared in advance to draw lines on the clothes.
The lines drawn by Liu are much wider and longer than the clothes laid on the cloth, which is obviously not just leaving the seam edge, but making it bigger.
Yue Jiuyue didn't care about any of this. This was how rural people made clothes for their children. That way, when the children grew up, they could gradually let out the long pieces of cloth, and they wouldn't have to make clothes for their children every year.
What kind of family can afford to dress their child in new clothes every year? Wouldn't it be better to use that money to buy some food to fill their stomachs?
Liu was very quick with her needlework. She cut the fabric in a few swift movements, then carefully spread the cotton batting evenly before starting to sew it up.
As Yue Jiuyue watched from the sidelines, her mind began to race with comments:
—Oh, so that's how you cut fabric!
How can you tell if the cotton batting is spread evenly? She couldn't feel anything with her hands!
—She sews so fast! If she could sew that fast, wouldn't she be able to make a fortune?
—Hahaha! She's a rich woman now!!!
...
After watching the entire process of Liu making clothes, Yue Jiuyue's hands felt a little itchy.
"Ugh! I've been sitting for so long, my back is sore, I'm going to go back and lie down for a while."
Yue Jiuyue put Xiaoman'er's newly made clothes back, stood up, rubbed her aching back, and walked towards her bedroom.
"Mom, would you like me to rub or massage you?"
It took a lot of courage for Liu to speak up. Her relationship with Yue Jiuyue had only recently become somewhat close, and today it reached its peak.
