"Uncle Long Er, it's hot, take this back and make a dress for your mother!" After a hot pot meal, the moon was already high in the sky. Because Long Yi still had work to do, he left early. After Long Er and the others helped Aunt Liu clean up the leftover food on the table, they came to say goodbye to Bai Nuo.
Bai Nuo quickly handed them the fabric.
Each of the four members of the Long family had a set of clothing made of different materials. The mother of Long Yi and his brothers was made of silk, while the other three brothers were made of cotton.
Long Er didn't look at it carefully at all. He took it when Bai Nuo gave it to him, and after receiving the cloth, he left with Long San.
Bai Nuo then measured the fabric in the room. She cut a portion of the pre-cut silk according to the proportions and gave it to Aunt Liu. She put the rest away.
It felt soft and comfortable to the touch. The dress Zhang Jingwen made for Hu Mingmei was also made of silk, but the fabric she bought from Jiang Sanniang felt more comfortable than Zhang Jingwen's.
"Grandma!" Bai Nuo, having finished packing, took the sewing basket and silk fabric to Grandma's room. Grandma didn't sit on the bed, but sat at the table, with Aunt Liu sitting beside her. Grandma was making clothes, and Aunt Liu was helping her. Two candles were lit on the table, illuminating the whole room brightly. The light cast long shadows of the two women on the wall behind them.
Upon hearing the sound, the two women who were engrossed in sewing looked up. Aunt Liu stood up with a smile, "The young lady has arrived?"
"Please sit down, Auntie!" Bai Nuo quickly reached out and pressed Aunt Liu into a seat, then sat down on the other side and placed the sewing basket on the table.
Seeing her posture, the old woman couldn't help but laugh and said, "What? Want to have clothes made for me?"
“Yes!” Bai Nuo nodded. “Who can blame me for Grandma’s excellent handiwork? I’m going to keep pestering you!” Bai Nuo said with a smile as she handed the fabric to Aunt Liu. “Auntie, take this and make a couple of outfits!”
"For me?" Aunt Liu looked at Bai Nuo with a sense of surprise and delight, her eyes seemingly shining, but she did not reach out to take it.
Bai Nuo gestured for Aunt Liu to reach out and take it. Aunt Liu then took it, and as soon as she held it, she asked in surprise, "Silk?"
"More or less!" Bai Nuo said casually, "Made of silk!"
"Oh dear!" Aunt Liu exclaimed. "Then I'll take it home and make a dress for my daughter." Such fine fabric, she couldn't bear to make clothes for herself. She was already so old; it would be a waste for her to wear such good fabric.
“Both you and your daughter have them!” Bai Nuo said with a smile.
"If she asks you to make her a set of clothes, then make her a set of clothes. You're tired all the time, so don't be stingy with yourself!" The old woman said to Aunt Liu with a smile as she watched from the side.
"Okay, I understand!" Aunt Liu replied repeatedly, stood up from the stool, and carefully placed the silkworm silk on her bed.
Then, he cautiously asked Bai Nuo, "Miss...can I go home at the end of the month?"
With only two days left until the end of the month, she wanted to use these two days to finish making her daughter's clothes after getting such good fabric. Such good fabric would definitely be very comfortable to use as an undergarment.
“Sure,” Bai Nuo said with a smile. “Don’t you have two days off at the end of the month? Just go back!”
"You said you came to me to have clothes made, but where's your fabric?" The old woman looked at her irritably. This person said she came to have clothes made, but she only had needles and thread, no fabric!
"Hehe, I'll just watch Grandma do it, I won't do it!" Bai Nuo said with a smile.
"What you learn from books is never enough!" The old woman pretended to hit her.
Bai Nuo quickly ran away, escaping behind Aunt Liu. Grabbing Aunt Liu's clothes, she cried pitifully, "Auntie, help me!"
"Don't be afraid, girl, I won't hit you!" Aunt Liu said with a smile as she held Bai Nuo's hand.
"I have nothing more to teach you!" the old woman laughed. "There are so many acupuncture techniques in the world, and you've learned all of mine!"
"Then I'll go back." Bai Nuo had originally planned to ask Grandma to help make clothes for Lu Ying and Xia Donglai, but she didn't dare to do so when she was about to leave.
The old woman isn't stupid. If she knew that she wanted to make men's clothes, she would definitely think of Hu Mingmei. She's still young. If the old woman knew that she and Hu Mingmei were entangled and could never be separated, she would definitely beat her to death.
Forget it, I'll do it myself!
After laughing and joking around with Grandma for a while, Bai Nuo returned to her room, thinking about what to do for Hu Mingmei and the others.
Hu Mingmei's clothes must be made of silk, a material that is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it perfect for making undergarments.
Thinking this, Bai Nuo started cutting the fabric, but as she was busy, she couldn't help but gasp – her stomach was hurting more and more.
"Could it be that I haven't eaten spicy food for too long? Can't I eat it anymore?" My stomach was churning and in so much pain that I couldn't even sit up, so I had to lie down on the bed.
Around midnight, Bai Nuo suddenly woke up, feeling sticky and damp all over. She got up, lit a candle, and saw a wet patch on the bed.
Where did the water come from?
Did she wet the bed?
Bai Nuo held the lamp closer to take a look, and touched it. There was a red stain on her finger. No way, she was only thirteen years old. She would only be fourteen after the New Year. How could she have it so early?
No, no, thirteen or fourteen is not a young age, and it's normal for her to have her period. She's almost fourteen, so why hasn't she thought about this before?
