Chapter 162 Will she come to the appointment?

Two days later.

The day chosen by my sisters-in-law was quite good, with bright sunshine and beautiful weather.

The road at the gate of Zhou's courtyard is the only way to the back mountain, so the sisters-in-law all agreed to gather outside the Zhou's gate.

Jiang Rou got up early and made barley tea with wheat.

She was afraid that the sun was too hot today and she would be out all day. What if she got heatstroke at noon? Drinking some barley tea could be a preventive measure.

One after another, many sisters-in-law came over.

As soon as they saw Jiang Rou, they immediately greeted her warmly, and then they were shocked -

"Sister Rou! Is this Xiaohua's new dress? It's so pretty. I've never seen a dress like this before."

My sister-in-law also said, "That's right! When I first came here, I saw Xiaohua's skirt and I liked it at first sight! Look at how beautiful it looks on this little girl. If I had a little girl at home, I would definitely make one for her."

"It's not just Xiaohua, there's also Xiaochuan! Look at this shirt and these shorts, the cut is so good! Xiaochuan looks so handsome in them! He looks like a young man."

This time, Zhou Xiaochuan's change is particularly great.

Jiang Rou helped him cut his hair yesterday, cutting it short and thinning it out. It was still a short buzz cut, but not as naive and round as it was at the beginning.

But it’s a layered, good-looking buzz cut.

It further highlights Zhou Xiaochuan's already handsome and elegant facial features.

The changes that have taken place in Zhou Xiaochuan are not just in his hairstyle and clothes, but also in the feeling he gives people.

The boy who was once covered with thorns and looked quite gloomy seemed to have become sunny overnight.

He was also exceptionally obedient, never making any noise or trouble, and even helped Jiang Rou with chores and poured tea for his sisters-in-law.

Compared with those brats in my sisters-in-law's homes who would climb up the roof and tear down the tiles if they weren't punished for three days, they are like heaven and earth.

The sisters-in-law looked at the sensible Zhou Xiaochuan and liked him more and more, and they also liked the clothes he was wearing.

One sister-in-law said confidently.

"How can such beautiful clothes be made? They must be sold in the city. Only department stores can have such beautiful styles."

"That's right. The masters who can sew are all old masters in their 50s and 60s, and the clothes they make are also old-fashioned. I have never seen such novel styles."

"Hearing you say that, it's true... Xiaohua and Xiaochuan look like dolls on a calendar, pretty... Really pretty... Sister Rou, is this dress expensive? Do you want ten yuan?"

All the sisters-in-law gathered around Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua and expressed their opinions.

Just as they were making their argument.

Jiang Rou spoke only when she saw that the time was almost right.

"Sisters, these two sets of clothes were not bought in the mall, but made by me. They didn't cost ten yuan, but only two cloth coupons. The size is small for children, so it only takes two feet of cloth."

As soon as these words came out.

The sisters-in-law were suddenly dumbfounded.

"You made it yourself?"

"Just two cloth coupons, no money spent?"

"Such beautiful clothes, but they don't cost money?"

The thing a group of women like most is saving money.

When I heard that it didn't cost any money, I became even more excited.

Someone immediately shouted.

"Sister Rou, please teach me. I also want to make a new set of clothes for my little boy. Just make it the same as your Xiaochuan's."

"Yes, sister Rou, why are you so awesome? Teach us now."

The sisters-in-law swarmed around Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou said hurriedly.

"Sisters-in-law, it's not that I don't want to teach you. This dress was made by me, but I just learned it. I don't have the skills to teach you."

Speaking of this.

The sisters-in-law more or less remembered what happened before. They heard that Jiang Rou was very close to Captain He's lover because she wanted to learn...how to make clothes.

Could it be that...

"These two pieces of clothing were made by Captain He's wife, Song Qingqian. She drew the drawings and taught me how to make them. She also has a sewing machine at home, so it's very fast to make them. I just learned how to make them. If the sisters-in-law want to learn, I can help talk to Song Qingqian. She will definitely be happy to teach a few more people."

Jiang Rou clearly saw the slightly changing expressions of her sisters-in-law, but she pretended to know nothing and called out Song Qingqian's name loudly.

When it comes to Song Qingqian.

The sisters-in-law, who were originally very enthusiastic, immediately backed off.

They were still worried. Without Jiang Rou's courage, they dared not have much contact with Song Qingqian.

The lively and bustling atmosphere at the beginning suddenly froze.

Sisters-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, and then we look at Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua's new clothes.

There is depression, entanglement, and hesitation.

Jiang Rou felt everyone's eyes and thought her plan was about to fail.

A familiar and generous voice sounded at this moment.

"Ah?! It's really Song Qingqian! You said she could make clothes before, but I thought it was fake. I didn't expect she was really a tailor?"

Zhao Guifen had a loud voice, and all her sisters-in-law could hear her as soon as she spoke.

She also used "capitalist lady" to describe Song Qingqian, but today she said "tailor".

Jiang Rou nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Sister Guifen, you are right. Song Qingqian is a tailor with excellent skills. She taught me how to make clothes without charging me any money and even let me use her sewing machine."

When Zhao Guifen heard this, he became more interested.

Under the subtle influence of Jiang Rou, her mentality has gradually changed recently.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a capitalist or not. On this island, we are all just women in a compound.

It doesn't seem that Song Qingqian eats better or uses better things than everyone else. Not everyone is the same.

"Sewing machine? Can I still use a sewing machine? Then... can I use it for free? Sister Rou, I want to spend money to find a tailor to make clothes for the fabric you brought me earlier. If I find her, do I not even have to pay for the tailor?"

"Of course. Song Qingqian is very considerate and teaches very carefully. Even I can learn it, so you will definitely have no problem, Sister Guifen."

Jiang Rou nodded and agreed to everything.

This time, the atmosphere changed again.

"I can use a sewing machine..."

"And I don't have to spend money on a tailor..."

"I've never used a sewing machine in my life..."

Several sisters-in-law were whispering to each other.

They didn't dare to make up their minds immediately, but it was obvious that they had changed their minds.

He kept struggling between Song Qingqian's class background and saving money.

Seeing that there was more to the story, Jiang Rou stopped talking in order to avoid going too far and arousing suspicion.

Her gaze passed over her sisters-in-law and looked towards the distance.

Song Qingqian did not accept the invitation two afternoons ago.

So will she come to the appointment today?
