Chapter 29: A Strong Trick
Zhulan maintained her persona and did not go to the main room. She took the noodles and eggs and turned back to the house. When the dumpling soup was ready, Li would bring it over. Zhulan felt more and more that it would not be bad to become the mother-in-law directly.
Back in the house, Zhulan saw her daughter touching pieces of fabric, smiling like a wolf grandmother, "Bao, do you like these fabrics?"
The little girl nodded honestly, "Mom, these materials are really nice and smooth to the touch, better than those sold in the county town."
Zhulan agreed that the fabrics in the south were indeed better than those in the north. The little girl had good taste. "Bao has been learning needlework for more than a year. I will give you the fabrics of your two brothers."
The little girl waved her hands in panic, "Mom, I can't do it. I can't do it."
Zhulan understood the maid's thoughts. In ancient times, it was normal to sew and mend clothes for another three years, and the maid did not dare to waste the material.
Zhulan recalled that her original family had decent clothes, not only because of good conditions, but mainly because of her maternal connections. The Yang family had escorts who traveled everywhere, and would buy some back if they saw cheap things. Every time they went to the south, they would bring cloth with them, so her original family had no shortage of cloth.
This is just the original family. Most families in the village cannot make a set of clothes in a year. When visiting relatives and friends, they can only order a piece of cloth as a gift.
Zhulan held her daughter in her arms and said, "I believe you can do it. Your hands are the most skillful I have ever seen."
The little girl was flattered a little.
Zhulan continued, "I wish I could wear the clothes that Bao made. It must be the clothes that Bao made before."
The little girl had never seen such a fight before, and her head was hot, "Mom, give me the clothes!"
Zhulan had no psychological burden of fooling the little girl. "These two pieces are for the third and fourth children. Take them first and let your second sister-in-law teach you. Don't be afraid of your second sister-in-law. When you learn well, you can make clothes for mother. Mother is not in a hurry."
Xue Han, "......."
Why did she feel that her mother didn't have much confidence in her? She felt sorry for her two brothers again!
Zhulan looked at the light-colored fabric for the young lady and finally had some conscience. "Let your second sister-in-law make your clothes. Your second sister-in-law's craftsmanship is the best. Mother hopes that Bao will wear it beautifully."
Xue Han, ".......Yeah."
Zhulan sent her daughter away, packed up her materials, and prepared for her nap.
I don't know how long I slept, I was woken up by the sound of rain, I opened my eyes and met Zhou Shuren's face, I was a little dazed as we were face to face and quite close.
Zhou Shuren also opened his eyes, "Awake?"
Zhulan sat up, "When did you come back? Where's Wuchun?"
Zhou Shuren was so tired from sitting for so long at noon that he just lay down without moving. "Let's chat in the third brother's room."
Zhulan hummed and listened to the sound of rain with worry. The book only mentioned heavy rain, but the rain was so heavy that it was like splashing water.
Zhou Shuren, "There's something wrong with this rain."
Affirmative sentence!
Zhulan did not hide the details and told Zhou Shuren about it. "Fortunately I remember it."
Zhou Shuren's eyes were particularly bright. "Now the plot has changed, which means that this is a real world and everything can change."
Zhulan also smiled, "Yes."
Coming to the ancient times, the huge stone that was weighing on the two people's hearts was finally removed. After all, they were afraid of the halo of the protagonist, but now they feel relieved.
The houses in ancient times were not bright enough to begin with, and during a heavy rainstorm the visibility outside was low, not to mention inside the house. It was as if it had become dark, and the sound of the rainstorm was enough to make people feel uneasy.
Zhu Lan said quietly, "Fortunately, we repaired the roof in the spring, otherwise it would have leaked out."
Zhou Shuren was also very thankful, "We will stay in this yard for a year or two, and we can replace the roof with tiles in a few days!"
Zhulan said, "Okay" for the sake of her own quality of life.
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "This rainstorm provides a good excuse."
Zhulan also laughed, and when she thought of the Wang family, she laughed even happier.
