Shen Annian saw that Xue Dingxiang had wrapped herself tightly in a thick cotton-padded jacket. She walked over and touched her clothes, which were quite thick.
Xue Dingxiang said helplessly, "You don't know how weak I am. I can't stand the cold, so I have to wrap myself up tightly every winter.
Fortunately, the weather in Jing County is not very cold. If it were that cold back home, with winds as sharp as knives, I wouldn’t be able to stand it.”
She sighed as she spoke, "I wasn't this weak before, but after giving birth, I didn't take good care of myself after the baby was born, so my body became weak and I developed a chronic illness.
You should also be more careful and don't take it lightly just because you are young."
Shen Anyian felt that he was so wronged.
She was always obedient and did whatever Qin's mother asked her to do. She basically didn't dare to do anything they didn't allow her to do.
"I listened to them very much. During the month of confinement, I couldn't even leave the house."
Xue Dingxiang envied her very much.
"Your mother-in-law really loves you, and there are very few mothers-in-law who can do this.
You don’t know that when I gave birth to my child, my mother-in-law saw that I gave birth to a daughter, she immediately frowned and was unwilling to take care of me during the confinement period.
My mother was busy at the time and couldn't come over, so I just held on, and that's how I got sick."
Speaking of this, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, if my mother-in-law comes to you and asks to borrow your child, don't agree."
Shen An Nian was a little curious, "What are you borrowing my child for?"
"They said they wanted to borrow your child to warm the bed. Rolling around in bed a few times, getting a little childish, would make it easier to have children later."
Shen Annian was speechless. What kind of backward feudal thinking was this?
"Okay, I get it. If she really comes to me, I definitely won't agree."
After hearing her say this, Xue Dingxiang finally felt relieved.
She was afraid that her mother-in-law would run into someone else's house without warning and cause dislike.
Saying hello to Shen Annian in advance would also allow her to be mentally prepared.
Shen Annian: "Your mother-in-law has been here for a long time, aren't they going to leave?"
Xue Dingxiang sighed, and when she saw that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and told her the truth.
"My mother-in-law came over this time, firstly to watch me give birth, but she also had another purpose.
This time she brought her sister-in-law here because she wanted her sister-in-law to find someone to marry in the army."
Shen Anyian looked at her with wide eyes, "Is there such a thing?"
But she could probably understand what they were thinking.
If you live in rural areas, there are very few high-quality candidates to choose from.
There are quite a few single officers in the army, so it is more or less an opportunity.
Her gossip spirit was ignited, "Does she have a crush on someone?"
Xue Dingxiang lowered her voice even more, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else.
If they knew I was the one who spread this, they would never forgive me."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"My mother-in-law has taken a liking to Captain Zhou and has been urging me to find out about him. How can I possibly ask for his help?"
"Your mother-in-law has set her goals so high, your sister-in-law must be in good condition."
"If that were the case, I wouldn't have to worry every day.
My sister-in-law only graduated from elementary school and used to work in the fields. She has the advantage of being young, and she's eighteen this year."
This condition is indeed quite different from that of Zhou Yin.
Zhou Yin was born into a high-ranking official family and graduated from a military academy. His future was limitless.
There are plenty of young girls, and in Zhou Yin's opinion, this is not an advantage.
Based on her understanding of Zhou Yin, he probably prefers the kind of intellectual young women who are cultured and have substance.
"I think this is a very uncertain matter. It's better for you not to bring it up."
"Of course I don't know. I've already told my husband, Lao Wang, that if his mother wants to take care of this matter, then she can do it. But don't push it onto me. I won't do it."
"What does Platoon Leader Wang mean?"
"He will definitely stand on my side. He knows his little sister's conditions well. How could she be worthy of Captain Zhou?"
"It's OK if he can understand you. If he doesn't, this matter will be really difficult to handle."
"Who says it's not true? Oh, let's not talk about their family affairs. It makes me annoyed when I talk about them.
Nian Nian, do you want to go to the county town for a stroll in a couple of days?
It's getting cold now, so I have to buy some material to make shoes. I always feel that the soles of my shoes are too thin and my feet are very cold.
I have to go buy some cloth and make some thousand-layer soles, otherwise I’ll get frostbite again when the weather gets colder.”
Shen An Nian was a little surprised, "You still get frostbite in Jing County?"
"Why not? Not only will I get frostbite on my feet, but on my hands too.
If only I could wear cotton clothes to keep my feet warm, I wouldn’t have to worry about getting frostbite.”
When Shen Annian heard this, his mind moved.
Yes, cotton slippers.
There are no cotton slippers now.
"Have you ever heard of cotton slippers?"
"What the hell is this?"
"They are slippers made of cotton."
Xue Dingxiang thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of shoes made of cotton, but I've rarely heard of slippers."
If you rarely hear about it, it means business opportunities.
The higher the latitude, the colder the weather. Not only cotton slippers, but also snow boots will definitely be popular in the market.
Shen Annian seemed to see a smooth road to making money, waving at him.
"It's okay if you haven't heard of it. Let's make our own cotton shoes."
It’s hard to get cloth coupons these days, and the same is true for cotton.
