Chapter 420: Love-brained Song Jingjing (Page 1/2)
Lin Man handed the wool and bamboo needles in her hand to Xiao Ya. She stood up and took out another half-knitted sweater from the room and continued knitting. It was a wool vest she was knitting for Huo Yian.
Song Jingjing asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, have you saved a lot of woolen yarn tickets? Can you give me a few taels?"
She doesn't have any yarn tickets, but she still has plenty of space for various yarns. If Song Jingjing brings money to buy them, she will definitely sell them.
When giving gifts, favors are personal, but normally brothers should settle accounts clearly.
In the department store, pure wool seems to be 17 yuan per pound, and cashmere seems to be 20 to 30 yuan per pound. Of course, the cheapest wool yarn is also a few yuan per pound.
I don’t know what kind of wool Song Jingjing wants to choose for her son, acrylic or cotton. Cotton is suitable for infants and young children, and acrylic is suitable for older children.
Only rich people will buy wool yarn. Wool blends are cheaper than pure wool, and cashmere is more expensive than pure wool.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to return some wool or cotton yarn?"
"I see this wool vest is made of cashmere yarn. How much is it per pound? Can you give me a few ounces back?"
Lin Man thought that to knit a sweater for adults, one pound and two ounces of wool would be enough according to the size of her younger brother and sister-in-law. Since she was taller, she might need one or two ounces more.
Song Jingjing wanted to return a few taels of wool yarn, probably because she wanted to knit a sweater for her son Huo Yichen. Apart from Huo Qingyan, her son was the person she cared about most now.
Lin Man smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law, Ningning's woolen vest is indeed made of cashmere yarn, but your baby Ping'an is not even a month old yet. Babies have delicate skin, so it's best not to wear woolen sweaters before the age of two."
Ningning, her daughter, is four years old. She can wear the wool vest over other clothes, and the sweetheart neckline won't itch her neck.
Song Jingjing replied awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, I'm not knitting a sweater for Ping'an. I want to knit a wool scarf for Qingyan."
Oh no, Huo Qingyan hasn't come back yet, but his wife has already started preparing a wool scarf for him. Song Jingjing loves Huo Qingyan so much!
Song Jingjing put her newborn son behind the man. It seems that she is definitely in love!
Lin Man looked at the dark gray cashmere yarn in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, this yarn is too thin to be suitable for knitting a scarf. It's best to use thick yarn."
"Do you have any coarse wool yarn?"
"Yes, yes, but my brother-in-law won't be back for a year or so. Do you want to return some wool and knit two sets of sweaters for your son?"
"No, my son has three changes of sweaters that will do."
Lin Man thought that babies grow very fast and it is cold in the north, so Xiao Ping'an will have to wear a sweater until April, and he will probably have to change his sweater once in the middle.
Moreover, clothes are not easy to dry in winter. If you wet your pants, three sets of sweaters are not enough. Moreover, it is so cold in Beijing that it is best to wear two sweaters inside.
Seeing that Lin Man didn't say anything, Xiao Ya also realized the problem. Could it be that Song Jingjing would let her grandson wear a thin sweater?
"Jingjing, are you only wearing a sweater underneath for Ping An?"
"Well, a set of base clothes, a set of sweaters and trousers, a cotton jacket on the outside, and a quilt to wrap yourself up is enough."
"It might snow tomorrow. You should give him an extra layer of clothing."
"It will be difficult for him to move around if he wears too much."
"The baby doesn't need to move much. Dress him warmly so he doesn't catch a cold. We'll put him to bed early later."
Although Song Jingjing wanted her mother-in-law to help take care of the child at night, she was not used to sleeping in the same bed with her mother-in-law and simply refused out loud.
"Mom, I'll take care of Ping An myself tonight."

"You're still in confinement, so don't get up in the middle of the night. I'll bring the kettle into the room and give Ping An two meals of milk powder tonight. Just get some rest."
Xiao Ya then said to Lin Man, "Manman, you still have a few pounds of wool. Give two pounds back to Jingjing, and then weave two thicker sweaters for Ping'an."
Song Jingjing said, "Mom, I don't have time to knit a sweater now."
Lin Man wanted to laugh. How could she have the time to knit a scarf for Huo Qingyan?
"If you don't have time to weave, I'll do it. There's not much work to do during the first month of the year anyway."
Since her mother-in-law wanted to help her knit, Song Jingjing was naturally happy. She said to Lin Man, "Sister-in-law, I guess you have quite a bit of wool. Why don't you give me a few more pounds?"
Lin Man asked, "What do you need so much wool for?"
"I plan to knit him another pair of woolen trousers, a turtleneck sweater, a vest, and a scarf before Qingyan comes back."
Looking at the love-brained Song Jingjing, Lin Man smiled and teased, "How about you knit him a few more pairs of wool socks and a pair of gloves?"
Song Jingjing nodded. "Okay, okay. Then I'll need four and a half pounds of wool yarn and two pounds of cotton yarn."
Huo Junshan looked at Xiao Ya. His wife hadn't knitted a sweater for him for many years, let alone woolen socks.
Alas, that silly boy in his family now has a wife who loves him. His wife has completely forgotten him over the years!
Huo Qingci winked at Lin Man, and Lin Man smiled and asked him, "Do you want woolen socks too? Or woolen pants?"
Huo Qingci smiled and replied, "I like anything woven by Manman."
Lin Man refused directly: "I don't have time. After I finish knitting these pieces, I have to knit a small vest for An An."
Huo Qingci also knew that his wife was busy and had no time. Between the children and him, his wife always put him last.
He really envied his silly brother Huo Qingyan, who was cherished by his wife.
When would his family's status improve? Would it have to wait until the children grew up?
Before going to bed, Huo Qingci took out a big red envelope and handed it to Lin Man, "Manman, this is a New Year's red envelope for you."
Lin Man opened the red envelope with a smile and found that there was actually ninety-nine yuan and ninety-nine cents inside.
"Why don't you just give me a hundred yuan? You're short of that penny."
"I don't need a penny, but love can't be bought with a penny of money, so I need a penny."
“So greasy…”
"What?"
Lin Man pursed her lips and smiled, "Nothing... Qingci, when you see Song Jingjing like that, are you envious of your brother?"
"A little bit, but Qingyan should envy me more. My wife is not only beautiful and kind, but also very talented. She is really good at both housework and homemaking."
Lin Man chuckled, "Haha, stop flattering me. Tell me, what do you want?"
Huo Qingci hugged Lin Man's arm and said coquettishly: "Manman, when you have time, can you make me some underwear?"
"Aren't those underwear in the space very comfortable to wear?" Lin Man raised an eyebrow and looked at Huo Qingci.
Huo Qingci's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "It's OK, but I'd rather you do it for me yourself."
"Then just wait patiently! I'll make clothes for you after I've finished making the children's clothes."
Lin Man felt that Huo Qingci was becoming more and more pretentious. There were ready-made underwear in the warehouse, but he insisted that she use the sewing machine to make them for him.
She hoped that after Huo Qingyan came back, he would not always bring Song Jingjing around in front of them. She was really afraid that Song Jingjing, who was in love, would feed Huo Qingyan and wipe his mouth in front of everyone.
