Chapter 31 Clumsy
Chen Yi suddenly remembered that she had said before that she wanted to learn how to make clothes from others.
"Aunt, didn't you say you would teach me how to make clothes? Are you free today?"
It just so happened that she didn't want to go out. Since everyone was here, it would be fine for her to teach a little and learn a little.
Seeing that she was really interested in learning, He Shuyun nodded and agreed, "When you have time, take out the sewing machine and find some cloth. I will teach you how to operate the sewing machine first."
Making clothes is a very demanding process. In addition to operating a sewing machine, there are also different techniques for finishing the edges.
There is also a skill involved in cutting fabrics.
Chen Yi went to the sewing machine, took down the covering cloth, and then got a stool for her sister-in-law to sit on.
He Shuyun did not hide her knowledge and taught with all her heart, as long as she knew how to do it.
She will also answer the questions asked by Chen Yi.
In just one afternoon, Chen Yi had learned how to operate the sewing machine, change the thread, and make a pair of insoles.
Although there are many loose threads and it is messy...
But this is a good start!
He Shuyun's smile was a little forced. This niece-in-law was a little clumsy.
Most people can not only operate a sewing machine in an afternoon, but can also make a decent pair of insoles.
But this is her niece-in-law, she can't attack her or dislike her.
"It's fine, Chen Yi. If you have any problems, just come to my house. I have to go back to cook." She looked at the time and it was already late.
They have two meals a day, one at eight in the morning and one at around four in the afternoon.
It's already four o'clock, we have to go back quickly.
Chen Yi was still immersed in the joy of learning. When she heard that she was leaving and looked at the time, it was indeed late.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, aunt, I've kept you up so late. How about you eat here tonight? I'll be the one cooking anyway."
"No, there are children at home, and your uncle also needs to eat." He Shuyun refused, waved her hand and left.
Chen Yi walked her to the gate of the yard before going back.
This time she was in the mood. Making clothes was fun, a bit like making clothes for dolls when she was a child.
She moved a sewing machine into the space and slowly learned how to sew, just like making clothes for a doll.
Anyway, there are mountains of cloth piled up in the space. I didn’t know what to do with them before, but now I have a goal.
Make clothes!
In this way, she studied behind closed doors for two days.
From making crooked clothes at the beginning, I can now make a small vest.
Of course, her original intention was not to make a vest, but a piece of clothing with sleeves.
But the sleeve never fits properly and is crooked even after being sewn on.
After thinking about it, Chen Yi decided to go and ask her aunt, which was better than doing it alone.
After locking the doors, she went out with the basket, which contained the sleeves and waistcoat she had made, and two pieces of cloth for learning.
He Shuyun's home is not far away, just near the river, about five hundred meters away.
No one was out walking along the way. The weather was a bit cloudy today and it would probably snow tonight.
When she arrived at the place, she knocked on the door first.
Although they lived in the countryside, He Shuyun would knock on the door every time she went to her house, which was very polite.
"The door is not locked, come in!" He Shuyun's voice rang out from inside the room.
Chen Yi opened the door. The layout here was the same as He Mingcheng's home, with two rooms on the east and west sides, and a kitchen as soon as you enter the door.
There is a stove on each side of the door, which is used for cooking and the kang can also be used for heating.
Walking into the east room, this is the master bedroom, so everyone usually stays here.
"Oh, Chen Yi is here." He Shuyun smiled immediately when she saw someone coming.
"Hurry up and get on the kang and warm yourself up."
There was someone else in the room, a woman in her thirties, holding a boy about three years old.
She had seen this person before. She was He Shuyun's daughter-in-law.
"Aunt, sister-in-law." Chen Yi greeted them.
"Xiao Yun, go get Chen Yi a glass of water." He Shuyun instructed her daughter-in-law next to her.
Chen Yi immediately said: "Don't bother, I'm not thirsty."
Zhang Xiaoyun didn't listen and put the child down to pour water.
Chen Yi sat on the edge of the kang and took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket. They were wrapped in Aurora candy paper and had no production date or manufacturer.
This is already the cheapest candy in the space. There is no other way. She doesn't like bulk candy. Collecting supplies is good.
I used to have high vision, but now it seems that I should have collected whatever I saw, as it would be useful sooner or later.
"Here, some candy." She put the candy in front of the child.
The child seemed to be frozen, his face and nose were red, and his nose was full of snot.
It looked quite dirty, but Chen Yi remained expressionless and said nothing.
She is just the daughter-in-law of someone's nephew, and it is not her place to teach him how to raise a child.
Besides, isn't this the case with all children in the past? They all grow up to be healthy.
"Oh, take it back. Why does he eat candy when he is so young?" He Shuyun asked her to put it away and took all the candy back.
Zhang Xiaoyun, who was standing by, watched without saying anything. She placed the poured water next to Chen Yi and then went to pick up the child.
The child didn’t know what was inside, but when he heard the word “sugar”, he immediately looked at Zhang Xiaoyun eagerly.
Chen Yi stopped He Shuyun and said, "Aunt, what are you doing? The child has seen the candy. Are you asking me to be a bad person in front of him? It's okay for children to eat some candy!"
"I still have a lot at home, all of which were mailed to me by my family, and I don't like to eat them either."
She really didn't like eating candy, but she put it away because she felt like these candies would be wasted in the apocalypse.
When the apocalypse began, no one took these things, so she didn't pick the good ones.
I don’t know what happened afterwards. In just two months, I had just collected almost all the supplies when I died together with the scumbag.
Seeing her like this, He Shuyun looked at her grandson and had to give up and gave all the candy to Zhang Xiaoyun.
"Xiaoyun, don't give him too much food, just put it away."
Zhang Xiaoyun was obviously happy, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom."
Then he turned to look at Chen Yi, "Thank you, brother's wife."
It’s not that she is ignorant, but she wouldn’t dare to take anything without her mother-in-law’s permission.
So, she waited for He Shuyun to speak before putting the candy away.
"Hu Zi, hurry up and thank your aunt." Zhang Xiaoyun asked the child to hold the candy and did not forget to let the child say thank you.
"Thank you, auntie!" Hu Zi grinned happily, stuffed the candy into his mouth, and did not forget to play with the candy wrapper.
Chen Yi smiled, and then said to He Shuyun: "Aunt, I have been thinking about this sleeve for the past two days, but it seems that something is wrong with it. Can you help me take a look?"
As she spoke, she took out the things.
This is not a piece of clothing, it's a vest.
The sleeves are so big that they look more like a pair of pants.
He Shuyun was speechless. She started making clothes before she even learned how to do it.
Zhang Xiaoyun standing next to him couldn't bear it either. Such good cloth was wasted.
