October 18th is November 25th in the Gregorian calendar, which is only a few days away from the wedding date.
Others were still working, mainly transporting manure from the cowshed to the fields and spreading it evenly. Feng Qingxue stayed at home sorting out the things sent by Uncle Feng, continuing to dry the dried vegetables, and putting those that needed to be put in the cellar. Then she washed the military uniforms and ironed them very flat, and then hurriedly made winter clothes for the children.
She and Lu's father are adults, their body sizes haven't changed much, so they don't need to make new clothes, but that's not the case for children.
Brother Lu Tianjun and Feng Qingyun have grown a lot taller. Last year's clothes are too small and their shoes can no longer fit them.
Guan Cheng and Guan Yu only came to their house this year and had no winter clothes at all. They were busy with the autumn harvest and Feng Qingxue had no time. The two brothers wore Lu Tianjun's brothers' clothes from last year because they were shorter.
Feng Qingxue did not regard Guancheng and Guanyu as outsiders, nor did she plan to make new clothes for her family every year. She directly said to the brothers: "Tianjun and Tianzhi's clothes and shoes were made last year. They are just right for you. I won't make new ones for you for now."
"Aunt, this is good."
Guan Yu is young, but Guan Cheng is not an ungrateful person. Although they are old clothes, there is not a single patch on them inside or outside. The autumn clothes, autumn pants, sweaters and trousers are all washed clean before putting them on. Feng Qingxue also took apart the cotton-padded clothes and washed the lining and the cotton inside. She also dried the cotton inside for two days before sewing them, making them no different from new ones.
Feng Qingxue didn't make new clothes for her sister. She took apart the sweaters and trousers and then added some wool to knit them again. She sewed a piece of the same fabric on the cuffs of the autumn clothes and outer clothes, and did the same for the lining and covering of the cotton-padded clothes.
The only ones who actually wore new clothes were Lu Tianjun and Lu Tianzhi, including autumn shirts and trousers, sweaters and trousers, and cotton coats and trousers.
Last year’s ones were given to Guancheng and Guanyu, so they have nothing to wear, so they have to make new ones.
However, not all of the brothers' clothes were changed into new ones. Their outer clothes and trousers were the same as Feng Qingyun's, with the trouser legs and cuffs spliced together and they continued to wear them. They also had Lu Jiang's old military uniform that had been altered to be smaller.
Feng Qingxue also used Lu Jiang's old military uniform to make Guan Cheng wear new clothes.
As for shoes, everyone got two new pairs, one pair of plain shoes and one pair of cotton shoes.
They were not made by Feng Qingxue, but were handmade cloth shoes she took out from the space, which were more in line with the current characteristics.
Although it has been almost half a month since the beginning of winter, it is not cold enough to wear cotton clothes. However, when Feng Qingxue took her sister to Caohu Brigade, she found that many people were wearing cotton coats and trousers, with the single clothes and trousers worn in spring, summer and autumn on the outside.
Feng Qingxue was pushing a bicycle with a bamboo basket hanging on one side of the back seat, while Feng Qingyun was sitting sideways on the back seat with his legs resting on the basket lid.
"Sister, my butt hurts from the bumpy ride." Feng Qingyun frowned. A bicycle is not that comfortable to ride. He really wanted to ride a bicycle before, but now that he's on one, he wants to get off and walk.
"Just sit down. It will be so slow if you just walk. How long will it take to get to Caohu?"
Feng Qingyun pursed his lips.
As soon as he entered the Caohu Brigade, Feng Qingyun jumped out of the back seat and rubbed his butt hard.
Ma Haiyan, who came to greet the two sisters, smiled and said, "Hey, Xiaoyun, you came back on a bicycle, what are you doing?"
"My butt hurts!" Feng Qingyun glanced at the back seat of the bicycle, "Sister, you should make a cushion and tie it on it, so that my butt won't hurt. I remember it was like this when my brother-in-law came to pick you up before."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Feng Qingxue's response was to pat her on the head.
