246. Chapter 246 Encouraging Wang Jiao 2



Although she had been married to the Lu family for quite some time, Feng Qingxue devoted herself to taking care of Lu Jiang as he was recuperating at home. She seldom went out to visit other people's homes. Even if she did go out, she would visit her uncle and aunt.

Therefore, Feng Qingxue was very happy to see Wang Jiao who often came to visit, which eased the pain of Lu Jiang's departure a little.

No matter how many faults Wang Jiao had, even strangers couldn't stand it and thought she was not a good candidate for a wife. However, Feng Qingxue envied her carefreeness and the vigor and vitality that belonged to this era.

Wang Jiao is like a fish in water, living a leisurely life. That is her ability.

"Cousin, is my uncle back?" Feng Qingxue asked directly.

Calculating the time, Wang Zhengguo should be home by now, and Lu Jiang should have boarded the train long ago.

Thinking of Lu Jiang, who might not be back for some time, Feng Qingxue's mood instantly dropped again.

"My dad? He's back, and as soon as he came back he scolded me for only eating melon seeds at home and not working. I got angry and ran out." Wang Jiao sat down on the chair, watching Guan Yu trying to support a roll of wool with his arms, while Feng Qingxue found a thread end from the roll and slowly wrapped it around her fingers, making a ball of wool. The wool was bright red in color, and extremely bright.

Seeing this, Wang Jiao was envious, "Xiaoxue, is this the new wool that Lu Jiang bought for you? It's so pretty!"

Feng Qingxue smiled, without commenting on Wang Zhengguo's rebuke of Wang Jiao, and without answering Wang Jiao's question, she asked, "Cousin, do you think this curl of wool is pretty, too?"

"Of course not. How can red wool not look good?" Wang Jiao likes red the most, bright red.

"Can I use this yarn to knit a sweater for my cousin?"

After hearing what Feng Qingxue said, Wang Jiao was stunned. She pointed her finger, which was black from eating melon seeds and even had dirt under the nails, at her nose and stammered, "Sweater? Xiaoxue, you...you are kidding, right? Knitting a sweater for me? This is wool, new wool! And it's bright red! Last time, Zhang Yue and I went to the department store to ask, wool yarn is shockingly expensive, 20 yuan per catty. Although your blended wool yarn is not that expensive, it still costs 10 yuan to buy a catty. You can't buy it without a ticket. Xiaoxue, I'm not much shorter than you, and I seem to be a little fatter than you. It takes two catties of yarn to knit a sweater!"

Wang Jiao said it in such a way that she couldn't believe such a good thing could happen.

A pound of blended wool yarn costs ten yuan, so a sweater will cost at least twenty yuan.

Twenty yuan was Zhang Yuejin’s salary for twenty days.

Seeing Wang Jiao like this, Feng Qingxue smiled instead, "Didn't I tell my cousin on the day of my wedding that I would give her a new dress when she got married? My cousin got married in late autumn or early winter, and at that time, I thought again and again, if I wore a cotton coat, it would be too hot, if I wore a single layer of clothes, it would be too cold, so I knitted a sweater and wore it on my body, and put a coat on the outside, it would definitely look good."

Wang Jiao was very excited by these words. She looked like she wanted it but was too embarrassed to ask for it. It was very funny.

As long as Wang Jiao didn't come to snatch her brother-in-law, Feng Qingyun didn't hate her. She deliberately said in a crisp voice: "Cousin, if you don't want it, I will ask my sister to knit me a new sweater. My sister said that she knitted a sweater for me with the wool my brother-in-law bought her last year. It's a little small for me this year, so she planned to take it apart and add some yarn to knit it for me, but I still prefer new ones!"
