Chapter 12 Chapter 012 The Qin family changed into new clothes.
Regardless of whether Qin Yuan's aesthetic taste is tacky or not, at least Qin Yuan believes that her daughter will definitely like this golden bowl.
After she was carried out of the west room by her grandmother and mother, she followed her mother and father back to her own room. Her grandmother went to the kitchen to cook some mutton porridge and brought it over. It was about to get dark outside, and the Qin family's children would each get a bowl of porridge in the evening.
Liu Chunhua gave the down jacket to her daughter-in-law. She thought it was the warmest thing for holding the child, even warmer than the silk cotton quilt. Even so, the silk cotton quilt was placed in Xie Yaer's room, but Qin Yuan's biological father Qin Yu was not allowed to get on the bed.
Country people have rough skin, and this silk quilt is made of precious silk. A set of quilts is worth hundreds of taels of silver, and it is embroidered with pink floral patterns. It is extremely precious. Liu Chunhua specifically told her son to sleep on the stool bed next to her to prevent it from being hooked by the silk quilt.
The so-called stool bed is actually two stools and a wooden board. After laying it out, just put reed fluff and linen on it. However, it is the warmest room today.
The silver charcoal burned in the charcoal basin, and the room became warm in an instant. The reason why this thing is expensive is that it does not produce any smoke when burned in winter. However, in Qin Yuan's home, it doesn't matter if there is smoke, as it will drift away through the gaps in the doors and windows.
Qin Yu had long been accustomed to this, and he tidied his bed swiftly. Then he looked up and saw his daughter lying obediently in his wife's arms. Her eyes were so beautiful that he also smiled foolishly.
Suddenly there was a sound at the door, a bang.
He hurried over and opened the door to see his mother and two sisters-in-law.
"This undershirt and the rabbit fur satin dress are ready. I'll bring them to Youyou. You can wear them tomorrow. The other clothes are still being made. You should quickly accompany your wife and Youyou to sleep today. Don't worry too much. I have things to arrange tomorrow."
Liu Chunhua gave the order directly, and Qin Yu naturally nodded quickly, agreeing very much with his mother's arrangement.
"Thank you, mother, and my two sisters-in-law."
When he said this, Wang Pandi and Zhou Yan both laughed. Seeing that the door was half-open, they had no intention of going in. They would be busy later. There were many things to do tonight. Their mother had lit the silver charcoal in the main room and also lit the lamps, so they would be busy for a while.
"Go inside quickly, or you'll get hit by the cold wind."
Liu Chunhua waved her hand, and Qin Yu returned to the house. Qin Yuan had already fallen asleep in her mother's warm arms and didn't know about this.
After delivering the clothes for her granddaughter, Liu Chunhua took her two daughters-in-law to the big room. This big room was not the eldest daughter's room, but the bed was very big. Qin Yue and Qin Feng'er were not sleeping at the moment. They were helping their mother cut the cloth, hoping to finish it earlier so that the family could wear it earlier.
The room was warm because of the charcoal burning. This was Xie Yaer's instruction.
After everyone sat on the bed, they began to cut the cloth without stopping. Those who made shoes and clothes already knew the body shapes of the men and children in the family. They were nimble and quick in their movements. As for why they didn't wait until tomorrow, it was because there were suddenly so many things in the house that they were actually a little excited and couldn't sleep.
After making clothes for a while, Liu Chunhua began to persuade her daughter-in-law and sons. Qin Shan, Qin Shu and even a few boys were sitting in the house. They had no plans for tomorrow, so they stayed here today, mainly because they were happy.
"You all know that our third daughter-in-law went to the county to see the county magistrate today, so I won't say much. I don't need to tell you that the gifts from the Zhang family were given because our daughter-in-law's surname is Xie. Our third daughter-in-law has suffered in our Qin family, but she has never despised our Qin family. She even gave us good things as soon as possible. You, the eldest brothers and sisters-in-law, what should you do in the future? Do I need to remind you?"
Pinching the sole in her hand, Liu Chunhua is making rabbit fur shoes for her granddaughter so that her little feet can be warm.
"Mother, of course we know that my sister-in-law is the kindest person. But she's still so young, and she wouldn't say a word that would take advantage of her. I treat her like my own daughter, and I would never dare to bully her. Besides, if my sister-in-law hadn't married into our family, I would never have seen how the daughter of a wealthy family behaves in my life. Mother, don't worry. Whether it's my sister-in-law's affairs or Yoyo's, as long as you can use my help, just tell me."
What Wang Pandi said was true. She was the eldest in the family, with many younger sisters. She was bullied by her natal family and was almost "sold" to the Qin family. Her mother-in-law was a kind person and asked her to take good care of her body and have children when she was almost 20 years old. But she was worried that she would be driven away, so she secretly got pregnant. After giving birth to Qin Niu Niu, she settled down in the Qin family.
This year, her own son Qin Niuniu is already eighteen years old. Xie Yaer, who is twenty years old, is small in stature, and she naturally feels distressed in her eyes.
When Xie Yaer was in confinement after childbirth, Wang Pandidi took care of her personally and really treated Xie Yaer as his own daughter.
"And me, mother, even if you gave me some courage, I wouldn't dare bully my sister-in-law. Besides, she's willing to give us anything good she has, and we're all on the same page. I'm heartbroken, so how could I dare to bully her? For the past five years, haven't I washed Youyou's clothes and diapers every day? I even had my two sons collect the firewood for my sister-in-law's bath."
Zhou Yan also spoke up. What she said was true. Compared to the villagers who didn't take a bath all year round, Xie Yaer had to take a bath every month. The cold water could easily make people sick, and boiling water would waste firewood. Which of the boys in the family had not gone out to collect firewood?
The men sitting on the side remained silent. When a woman was talking, men could not interrupt. But they all knew in their hearts that if it were not for this girl from a noble family, how could their Qin family live such a life?
Qin Shan and Qin Shu were the most grateful. After all, they had two sons and a daughter. Now their sons were learning to read and write from their sister-in-law, and their two daughters were also learning embroidery from her. They both had a future, and they were already satisfied.
"As long as you know what I mean, let's make clothes out of this ramie and linen cloth as soon as possible in the next few days so that everyone in the family can wear them. That will make Third Daughter-in-law happy. And after making shoes for Youyou with this rabbit fur satin, we can make clothes for our two daughters. Daughters can't stand the cold. Also, make fur coats out of sheepskin and mouse skin. Then we can go out and find some firewood to keep us warm in the winter."
Liu Chunhua didn't say much, knowing that as long as she was there, the people in this family would not dare to say anything. Besides, if these things were in ordinary families, they would have fought over them long ago. Now that they had gotten so many for free, who would dare to gossip?
"Grandma, I want to use this Zhangrong to make a scarf for Youyou, is that okay?" Qin Yue said softly. She is fifteen years old this year and has already been engaged to someone in the village. She heard about the scarf from Youyou.
When the weather just got cold, Qin Yue held Youyou in her arms and played with her. The cold wind made her neck feel cold, and she heard Youyou complaining about not having a scarf. After asking, she found out that it was a long strip of soft and warm cloth that went around the neck to cover the cheeks so that the wind could not blow.
Zhangrong is very suitable for wearing next to the skin and is best for making scarves.
"Okay, grandma knows you're thinking about Youyou. What kind of scarf is this? Since Youyou asked, I'll make one for each child in the family. There's always enough fabric. Remember to cherish Youyou when you wear it."
Liu Chunhua smiled. She liked this pretty granddaughter the most. She was different from Qin Fenger. She spoke and acted like her mother, gentle, proper, and very organized.
Qin Feng'er also laughed when she heard it. Thinking that she could also have this Zhangrong scarf, she was so curious that she sat next to her sister Qin Yue to take a look.
That night, everyone else in the village had gone to bed long ago, but the Qin family wasted lamp oil and worked hard all night. After all, even if they didn't stay up late, they couldn't sleep. In order to prevent others from thinking too much, Liu Chunhua gathered everyone together to let everyone know who benefited from everything that happened now.
Qin Yuan didn't know that the Qin family stayed up until midnight. When she woke up the next morning, she didn't know what time it was, but it was already bright outside.
"Yoyo, are you awake? Come, let me put on your underwear for you!"
Before, her daughter's undergarments were made of some soft fabrics when she got married, and they were already worn out. Now she had changed into new heavy lotus silk. Qin Yuan felt that the new undergarments were soft and comfortable. Then she changed into a rabbit fur jacket.
"Good morning, Mom, good morning, Dad!" Qin Yuan said hello obediently without even opening her eyes, which made Qin Yu, who had cut off the hot water for his wife and daughter, very happy.
"Yoyo good morning!"
After he said hello, Xie Yaer began to instruct her daughter.
"If you see your eldest aunt and second aunt today, you must thank them for making clothes for you, okay? This rabbit fur satin jacket was made by your eldest aunt, and the undershirt was made by your second aunt."
Xie Yaer was teaching her daughter seriously, but she didn't expect that when she fell asleep last night, her mother-in-law actually sent her another set of undergarments, which were made for her. Presumably, it was arranged by her mother-in-law, so Xie Yaer changed into them.
"This sheepskin coat was sent by my mother this morning. She said it was for you." Qin Yu was not good at speaking, so he took out the sheepskin coat and pants. Xie Yaer didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and put them on.
But they still feel a little hot after wearing this and wrapping themselves in down jackets!
When she took another look at her husband, she was surprised to see that he was wearing a ready-made rat-skin coat.
"Mom said that she did it with my sisters-in-law and Yue'er at night." Qin Yu explained, and Xie Yaer didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, the Qin family's kitchen was already hot and smoking. When Qin Yuan arrived at the main hall, she was shocked by everyone's brand new look!
That night everyone actually made coats, all made of rat skin and sheepskin. Although they were not very exquisite, everyone looked very energetic when they put them on. After all, who wouldn't be happy wearing new clothes?
"Good morning, Grandpa! Good morning, Grandma!" Qin Yuan greeted everyone one by one and sincerely thanked her two aunts for taking care of her, in return for the affectionate pinches of her hands from her aunts.
The meal was ready quickly. Today it was especially rich, with boiled lamb and pork, and most importantly, the fried eggs with garlic chives that Qin Yuan had been longing for for a long time!
The sparkling look in her eyes made the whole family happy, and the meal was a very enjoyable one.
However, even though it was winter, these people would not rest at home after having clothes. Grandpa Qin Dali clapped his hands and confirmed today's itinerary. Today they would deliver the prepared bean sprouts and new garlic sprouts to the county restaurant. The restaurant was also related to County Magistrate Zhang's family, so they could exchange a lot of silver for it. On the way back, they would chop firewood on the roadside, killing two birds with one stone.
The two aunts and two cousins also had to get busy, so Qin Yuan was carried back to the house by her mother to warm up.
Qin Yuan felt very comfortable after the meal. Her mother carried her to the bed. After she warmed up in a short while, she took out her cell phone and quickly called her daughter Qin Huan.
Someone answered the phone quickly.
Qin Yuan became happy when she saw her daughter's energetic look in the video.
"Is there anything happy today? Huanhuan, you look so happy, tell me and let mom be happy too?"
She asked, but she didn't know that Qin Huan had already observed her mother's living conditions through the video and found that the linen on the bed had become an unrecognizable good fabric. Although her mother was still wrapped in a down jacket, she had a furry rabbit fur hat on her head and even a gray Zhang velvet scarf around her neck. It seemed that her life had indeed improved a lot.
After making sure that his mother's life had improved, Qin Huan spoke with a smile.
"Of course I'm happy! Mom, do you know how much you sold the golden bowl for me?"
