After measuring the required size and dimensions, Zhou Sese communicated with her, "Do you have a favorite skirt style? Or on your way here, have you seen other people wearing skirts that you think are beautiful? You can simply draw it for me."
Sheng Yingying sat opposite Zhou Sese, her two nervous hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, and shook her head, "No, sister-in-law, just watch and make it for me. The clothes worn by people here are better looking than those worn by the best people in our village."
Zhou Sese nodded.
I picked up the small notebook next to me and drew something on it with a 2B pencil.
The outline of a skirt instantly appeared on the blank paper.
Zhou Sese took the eraser again and gently wiped the collar and waistline, then changed into a polo-style collar and designed a belt at the waistline.
Zhou Sese nodded with satisfaction.
Turning the notebook over, "Do you like this style?"
Sheng Yingying took the small notebook and took a look at it, her eyes lit up instantly. Sheng Yingying's eyes were very similar to Sheng Xijiang's, similar to peach blossom eyes, but Sheng Xijiang's were slightly narrower and longer, while Sheng Yingying's were slightly rounder.
When her eyes lit up, Zhou Sese even felt like a peach tree was in bloom.
Sheng Yingying nodded repeatedly, like a hungry chick pecking at rice. "Beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful dress before, but... I'm so ugly, it won't look good on me..."
But afterwards, the excitement on Sheng Yingying's face disappeared a lot.
The little girl raised her hand and touched her cheek. "I'm not as fair as my sister-in-law. I have a lot of freckles on my face... Even beautiful clothes will look ugly on me..."
When I was at home, I went to the market with my sister-in-law.
Whenever Sheng Yingying sees clothes she likes, her sister-in-law will ask her to try them on.
But after putting them on, the eldest and second sisters-in-law would politely say that they didn't look good.
Over time.
Sheng Yingying no longer wants to try on clothes outside.
Zhou Sese rushed forward.
Sheng Yingying was startled and leaned back, "Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law."
Zhou Sese turned the pencil in her hand over and raised Sheng Yingying's chin with the unsharpened cylindrical head on the other side. "Where is it ugly? Do you think your third brother is good-looking?"
Sheng Yingying nodded repeatedly. Among the four brothers and sisters in their family, the third brother was the best looking.
The aunts and uncles in the village all said that the third child of the Sheng family had been good-looking since childhood. Every family with a little girl wanted to arrange a marriage with a child from the Sheng family.
Zhou Sese smiled and said, "Actually, you and your third brother look a lot like each other, especially your eyes and nose, peach blossom eyes, high nose bridge, you will look good if you just tidy up. Well, your skin color belongs to the common skin color of this era, so there is no need to feel inferior.
I see you only have a few freckles on your cheeks, which is quite cute. Nowadays, people in the city like to add a few freckles when they put on makeup. But your eyebrows are too thick, making you look untidy. I'll trim them for you tomorrow."
Peach blossom eyes, deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, sharp lip lines, and a perfect wheat-colored complexion that doesn't require tanning. If this were to happen in forty or fifty years, it would definitely be an exotic look.
Sheng Yingying lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law, I said that to you when I first came here, and now you are still willing to make clothes for me and praise me. I... I don't know how to apologize to you."
Zhou Sese thought, I have to extort double the labor fee from your brother!
But he did act calmly on the surface. "It's okay. You're young and don't have much social experience. Besides, you have those letters in your hands. It's normal for you to have misunderstandings."
Sheng Yingying said with great emotion, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will treat you well in the future. I will take care of all the housework at home, so you don't have to do anything. I will also take care of the two children. I raised the children of my eldest brother and second brother. They were very close to me when they were young...but for some reason, they didn't become close to me anymore when they grew up."
Zhou Sese was about to rack her brains to think of a few words of comfort when a little excited voice came from outside, "Mom, aunt, turn off the lights quickly!"
Sheng Yingying turned on the light.
The father and his two sons came in quickly from outside.
The room was pitch black.
Zhou Sese held her chin up to her hand, wanting to see what they were thinking.
After the father and his two sons came in, they closed the door to the main room, blocking out the moonlight. The room became even darker, and you couldn't even see your hand in front of you.
But at this moment.
Diandian opened her two little hands excitedly, and the two fireflies hidden in her little claws flew out all of a sudden. The two fireflies jumped up and down, and the line connecting them seemed to be the light that broke through the entire night sky.
Xingxing opened his pocket, and more than a dozen fireflies flew out of his pocket. The sparks became more and more, as if he was sitting on a hill looking at the stars in the sky, and the stars in the sky were moving. Sheng Yingying was so excited that she couldn't help but exclaimed.
Zhou Sese's gaze fell on the last man.
Sheng Xijiang took out a glass bottle from his arms, opened the lid, and hundreds of fireflies emerged. If they were just scattered stars just now, now they have become the Milky Way.
Dots of laughter pierced the sky, "Mom, isn't it beautiful? This is what Dad, my brother and I caught on the mountain. I even fell on my butt, hehehe."
Zhou Sese raised her right hand.
Two little fireflies fell into the palm of my hand, with green light coming out of their butts.
Zhou Sese was a little dazed.
How many years has it been since you last saw fireflies?
The last time was when I was a child and followed my grandfather to the mountains to pick herbs. The mountains were full of small insects dragging their glowing butts around them.
Grandpa said.
Fireflies are lanterns in the mountains, flying stars, and guiding elves.
Sometimes grandpa would catch fireflies and put them in plastic bottles and bring them home for her.
On the one hand, he disliked her for being lazy and refusing to go out to the mountains to accompany her grandfather to collect herbs, and on the other hand, he made her favorite chestnut stewed rice.
Zhou Sese's eyes gradually became moist.
She missed the little old man.
Sheng Xijiang sat next to Zhou Sese, "Do you like it?"
Zhou Sese rubbed her eyes in the darkness and said proudly, "Who hasn't seen fireflies? It's nothing special."
Sheng Xijiang smiled slightly, looking up at the little elves, "Although that's the case, when I saw so many fireflies on the mountain, I thought, they are so beautiful, I wish you could see them."
Zhou Sese was startled, and she snorted, "It's nothing to be attentive to."
Sheng Xijiang leaned closer to her and whispered, "I just thought that when you think of this short marriage in the future, there will be a little bit of beauty in it."
Zhou Sese was silent.
Sheng Xijiang smiled cheerfully, pointed at a firefly that had slipped out from the crack of the door, and whispered in her ear in a low, hoarse voice, "Sese, look, it's finally alive."
