Chapter 26 Sweater
After Shulan got married, Shuxin went back to work with peace of mind. Their Xinyang County Station had been in operation for nearly four months. Over such a long period of time, the number of travelers coming and going at the station increased, and it was no longer deserted as before the resumption of operations.
There are more people taking the train now, so things have become more complicated for their staff. But who is Shuxin? During her long time on the job, she has only encountered problems like fare evasion, which she handled easily.
After March, the weather started to get colder as the weather got colder.
Sister Lamei, who was in charge of the same carriage as Shuxin, would go to the lounge and knit with her ball of yarn when she had nothing to do. After a trip, Shuxin watched the ball of yarn go from being nothing to becoming a sweater.
It's strange to say that Shuxin is good at studying, but she has a photographic memory, poor motor skills, and even worse physical fitness. However, such a versatile person failed in knitting.
When Shuxin saw Sister Lamei knitting a sweater, she decided to give it a try herself and make a sweater for her girlfriend as a surprise. However, after working for a long time, the sweater was still a mess. Even Sister Lamei said that she had saved her from a mess.
Her brain clearly said she had learned it, but her heart said okay, let's do it.
Shuxin was adept at martial arts training, hunting, and setting traps, all of which required movement. However, knitting was an extremely difficult task.
She also planned to persevere and spend time to straighten out the tangled ball of thread, intending to take it back home. She does know how to do it, but her family and boyfriend know her, so her mother and boyfriend are definitely good at it. She doesn't know why she thinks her boyfriend can learn it. Is it because Luo Yue makes her feel more like a wife than her own wife?
Forget it, don’t think too much, go buy some wool, she wants to wear the sweater her boyfriend knitted. I excitedly went to the Shanghai Department Store and bought a lot of wool and brought it back. I also told Luo Yue about it.
Luo Yue didn't think much of it and started to teach confidently. You know, he had learned needlework in the Marquis' Mansion and was quite good at it. He often made clothes for his mother and father.
After listening to Shuxin's explanation and demonstration, he got started and soon he was able to do it like her. After two days, he had figured out many new tricks.
Luo Yueke felt that it was troublesome. He was tired from working in the fields, and he thought it was fun to have nothing to do in the autumn. Now his family Xinxin found a job for him, and he couldn't be more happy. He also likes to knit sweaters, and imagines his wife wearing the sweaters he knitted while working outside, and proudly telling others that it was her partner who knitted them for her. It’s a wonderful thought! Ah~ That’s enough, I can’t think about it anymore, it’s killing me!
Shu Xin handed the things to Luo Yue and went out to work. Naturally, she knew that the Liulin Brigade had been devastated by Luo Yue.
From that day on, Luo Yue appeared in various gathering places of Liulin Brigade with wool in his hand.
He first appeared at the Liu family, where he sought out Grandma Liu and the others to exchange experiences and teach them how to knit. He was fighting for his family's Xinxin and himself, so he should leave the Liu family to them.
"Grandma and grandma, come and look, this is how Shuxin taught me to knit a sweater. I'll teach you how to knit!"
Mother Liu was already immune to her son-in-law calling her mother-in-law, and she had just called her aunt at first, until Shuxin came back one day and said that she was going to build a house next to Liu's house the next day, and after she married the handsome Luo Yue the next year, Luo Yue started calling her mother-in-law. She really wanted to grab Luo Yue's shoulders and roar at him, "You are my son-in-law and I am marrying off my daughter. It's not about recruiting a son-in-law. Why do you call me mother-in-law when I should call you mother-in-law or mother-in-law? Even if you call her mom, she wouldn't be so upset."
Grandma Liu also refused. This wool was in short supply. The captain's wife wanted to buy some, but couldn't find it even when she went to the county town. Only Shuxin in their family could afford to buy so much.
She happily learned from her cheap grandson-in-law, and didn't care about her daughter-in-law who was in a daze next to her. After all, she was a grandmother and a mother-in-law, so she didn't have any opinions.
When Shuxin's mother came to her senses, she saw that her sister-in-law and mother-in-law were studying hard, so she stopped worrying about it and joined in.
Everyone in the Liu family expressed their opinions on Luo Yue's knitting. They had seen things that were even more outrageous than him knitting a sweater, so this was all nonsense.
They were surprised, representing the surprise of the other members of the Liulin Brigade.
When Mother Liu took Luo Yue to visit relatives and friends, everyone saw Luo Yue knitting a sweater skillfully. He listened to their gossip, and when he heard that there was no follow-up, he took the initiative to ask what was going on and urged them to continue.
Although she knew that Luo Yue from Shuxin's family behaved like them women, she didn't realize as clearly as she does now that he was the same as them.
She is a woman like them, loves gossip like them, is good at needlework like them, and teaches each other like them.
From then on, the women of Liulin Brigade completely regarded him as a man and looked upon him as the legitimate daughter-in-law of Shuxin's family.
After everyone was shocked, they came to their senses and realized that he and Mother Liu were knitting sweaters. You know, the captain's wife didn't buy any wool, but they both started knitting, and it seemed that there was still not enough wool.
It was obvious that it was Shuxin who brought it back. No one else had the ability to do that. She hurriedly approached Luo Yue, intending to ask him to share some with them.
"Hey, Luo, you don't have much yet. Give us some, and I'll give you the money, so you won't suffer any loss."
"If you want money, go and exchange it for something. I'm keeping mine to make clothes for Xinxin. I can give it to you. Ask grandma. I've given it all to her!"
Luo Yue answered cautiously and said that if he used money, he could exchange it for something. Xinxin had told him that the situation was getting tense and it was difficult for someone to find evidence against him. Besides, he grew up in a marquis's mansion and had good political acumen.
"Hey Luo, next time Shuxin comes back, ask her if she can bring us some wool."
"Yes, Luo, let Shuxin bring some for us. Don't worry, ask for more. This thing is so expensive, we also want as much as possible."
Seeing that everyone was asking, Luo Yue refused, saying that he would ask Shuxin first, but it would definitely be more, so that they could make a good match.
Everyone didn't argue too much, and the topic soon turned to other things, such as which family had a good relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or which family's daughter-in-law had an affair, but they didn't know about it.
When Shuxin returned home, she received a sweater from Xinlingjiao as a gift. It was an orange cardigan sweater set with a wide collar and white lace around it.
"Sure, my Yueyue, this artwork is better looking than those sold in department stores, I like it."
"As long as you like it, come and try it. I also have a green patterned one. When we go out, people will know that we are a couple."
Luo Yue helped Shu Xin put it on, and he put it on himself as well, preparing to let Shu Xin take him around the village, so that the villagers could see how virtuous and clever he was, and consolidate his position at the same time.
"Why do you need to let others see it? You need people to see it. Who in the village knows that you are my partner?"
Having said that, she followed his force and walked forward to satisfy his greater desire. Her partner was strange and cute.
