Wang Jiao may think she is stupid because she has never done needlework before, but actually she is not stupid at all. Under Feng Qingxue's instruction, she quickly learns basic skills such as how to use a sewing machine, how to cut and sew clothes, how to make buttons, how to sew soles, etc. She also traces and cuts the shoe patterns very well.

Although the stitches were crooked, some were loose and some were dense, and the buttons were not neatly made, I finally learned how to do it.

The thing she learned the fastest and best was knitting!

Feng Qingxue picked up the needle and knitted a few rounds. This was a new pattern that did not exist at present, but it would be very common in the future. She didn't know what it was called specifically. After knitting with this needle method, the sweater would appear in the shape of small flowers arranged side by side, unlike the current flat knitting method which had no patterns at all.

Wang Jiao watched it for a moment and thought it was interesting, so she wanted to learn from her, and she quickly got the hang of it.

There are a total of four bamboo sweater needles on the two-finger-wide sweater that Feng Qingxue is knitting. Three needles are used when starting to knit, and the extra one is used to knit the sweater. When knitting, the extra needle and the other three needles are used to shuttle back and forth, and after finishing one needle, the next one is continued.

At first Wang Jiao's weaving was loose and tight, and the flowers were big and small, which looked very ugly. In the end she took it apart and weaved it again.

After a few days, Wang Jiao learned how to knit quickly and well, with just the right amount of tightness and elasticity, and her knitting was no worse than Feng Qingxue's.

"I'll take the wool back and knit it myself. If I don't know how to finish it, I'll come back to you for help." Wang Jiao now feels a sense of accomplishment and wants to wear the sweater she knitted when she gets married.

By then, she can proudly tell those who say she has never done any housework that she knitted it herself!

Not everyone can knit a sweater if they want to. If you can’t buy wool, how can you knit a sweater? If you have never knitted a sweater, of course you can’t knit it!

"Okay!" Feng Qingxue did not refuse. She calculated the time and found that the busy farming season was about to begin.

Even if she was pregnant, she had to work, and she also had to take care of the meals for the old and the young at home, so how could she have the time to continue knitting sweaters? Wang Jiao was willing to take it back, so she naturally had time.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Last time, Zhang Yuejin said he would come today to give my parents a holiday gift."

Feng Qingxue was stunned. Isn't it almost August 15th?

Although Zhang Yuejin and Wang Jiao have not married, the wedding has been decided and the wedding date is set in the late autumn and early winter. According to current customs and rules, he has to give a festival gift to his father-in-law, otherwise it is hard to say whether the marriage can go on.

The older people are, the more they care about these things. They don’t care how much stuff they have. After all, supplies are scarce nowadays, but they have to make this trip.

Feng Qingxue was wondering whether she should visit her mother's family. There was no one in her family to visit, but her uncle and aunt Feng had helped arrange her wedding, and they were also the ones who took care of the vegetable garden at home. It was reasonable for her to go, even if she only gave two kilograms of flour and a kilogram of fruit. Uncle and aunt Feng and the folks of Caohu Brigade would not say that she was ungrateful.

When I mentioned this to Father Lu at lunch, Father Lu said, "You should go, you should go, you should go! They are your uncles and aunts. Don't mention that they arranged your wedding. Even if they didn't, according to the old rules, a married niece should go to her uncles and aunts' houses when she returns to her parents' home for the first time to give gifts. Isn't this your first time to go back to your parents' home to give gifts? You should go. I don't know what we have now, you can pick two good things by yourself, don't make a fool of yourself in the first year."
