Duan Yidao had been thinking about the little gadget that Ji Ming mentioned before. He originally wanted to ask Carpenter Yang to make one for him, but later thought it would be better to do it himself. He found Song Yuehua and discussed with her about going to Carpenter Yang's house to learn for half a month.
After Song Yuehua knew his plan, she suggested, "It's not suitable for a little girl to play with this kind of thing. Why not sew a few dolls?"
"What doll?" Duan Yidao couldn't figure it out.
Song Yuehua took the pillow and gestured, "Kittens, puppies, rabbits, anything that can be held and played with is fine."
"Will it work?" Duan Yidao was a little skeptical.
Song Yuehua held Xiaobao in her arms and said, "Don't forget, I raised two children."
Duan Yidao was instantly convinced.
But when I think about sewing, doesn’t it require needle and thread?
Duan Yidao said worriedly, "I don't think my cooking skills are that good..."
"It's okay. It's still early. You can go find Granny Wang and learn slowly." Song Yuehua said.
Duan Yidao was reluctant to learn from Granny Wang. If he was rejected, all his efforts would be wasted.
Song Yuehua heard from Xiaoyu that Duan Yidao went to Xinan Village specifically to find Xie Quan to learn needlework.
Thanks all?
"What did you tell him?" Song Yuehua asked.
Xiaoyu nodded and said, "My father's skills are more than enough to teach Master Duan."
It's really interesting to see two grown men holding needles and thread and asking each other for advice.
After Xiaoyu came back from Nie Nie's place, she drank a bowl of water and sat on the kang to listen to the two people talking.
Song Yuehua was still thinking about the two men sewing clothes under the lamp.
"Your father can make clothes?" Song Yuehua asked.
Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "I asked the aunt in the village to make the clothes, and my father still had to do the simple mending. Now my father and I are the only ones in the family who can sew clothes."
"Can't you do it too?" Song Yuehua remembered that Xiaoyu had been learning needlework from Xiaoyu, and her skills were pretty good.
"I can, but I'm not very good." Xiaoyu embarrassedly took over a coat that she had spent several days sewing.
Song Yuehua took it and looked at it. "A man?"
"It's for Brother Bian Wu." Xiao Yu said, "I made it for him last time, but it wasn't done well, so I thought of making another one for him."
Song Yuehua remembered that when Gao Wazi first came to Dongshan, he asked Bian Wu for a set of clothes, and then asked Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu to make a new set for him. Hasn't it been done yet?
Song Yuehua handed the coat to Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu propped herself up, looked at the shape, then at the stitching and said, "There's a little problem, but it won't affect wearing."
Seeing that things were getting so complicated, Song Yuehua said, "Why don't we let Xiaoyu finish it for him, so that you won't have to deal with it endlessly."
"No, no." Xiaoyu put away her coat and said, "I'll just treat it as a practice. It's almost done anyway."
After saying that, Xiaoyu took the coat and started to consult Xiaoyu.
Song Yuehua came to the compound. Dabao and Xiaobao were playing with the little rabbit in the yard. Xiaobao fed the little rabbit green leaves, and Dabao chased the rabbit around the yard.
"Sister, sister..." Dabao pinched a round thing and presented it to Song Yuehua like a treasure.
When I took it and looked at it, it was rabbit poop!
Song Yuehua's mouth twitched, and she smiled and replied, "Thank you, Dabao. Go and play by yourself."
Dabao happily chased the rabbit again. Xiaobao ran over and stretched out his hands to her, saying in a baby voice, "Sister, I want a hug."
Dabao wanted to play with the little rabbit, so Song Yuehua picked up Xiaobao and went for a stroll in the village.
Not long after I went out, I met Grandma Wang who was returning from Dongshan carrying a basket.
"Girl, have you eaten?" Granny Wang asked, waving her hand.
Song Yuehua stood there and replied with a smile, "I have eaten."
"I brought down a big can of rabbit meat. Would you like to have some?" asked Granny Wang.
Song Yuehua smelled the fragrance, but unfortunately her stomach was empty. She said helplessly, "I am really full, so I came out with Xiaobao to digest the food."
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, and Wenwu are all at home, right?" Grandma Wang had no intention of taking the can of meat home.
"Master Duan killed a bunch of rabbits today, and they were all injured. We can't finish them all if we stew them in a pot. I'll give some to the little ones first, and leave a bowl for you on the stove. Come back and eat after you've digested the food."
"Really, there's no need. Grandma, you can take it back and feed it to Shitou and Xiaomian." Song Yuehua freed one hand and held Grandma Wang.
Granny Wang waved her hand and said, "They have already eaten in the courtyard, and are still there doing their homework. I wanted to send some over before you had dinner, but I was late."
"They are all stewed with rabbits. The meat is very tender!" After saying this, Grandma Wang went in carrying the jar.
Song Yuehua had no choice but to carry Xiaobao outside.
A lot of flowers have been planted in the school recently, but she hasn't taken a good look at them yet. She went around to the backyard wall and saw Zhang Dandan and Guan Xiaodie watering the flowers.
Zhang Dandan smiled and greeted, "Sister Song, would you like to see the flowers?"
"Yes, how is the planting going?" Song Yuehua asked.
Zhang Dandan said, "Yes, the branches that Big Brother brought back were all cut well. They have been planted for a few days and most of them have not rotted. If they grow well, next year, we will be able to sit in the yard and see the flowers."
The wall is full of flowers, I am looking forward to it.
Song Yuehua looked at Guan Xiaodie and asked, "Miss Guan, are you used to being here?"
"It's a habit. Thank you Miss Song for your concern." Guan Xiaodie said softly.
Song Yuehua added, "When the vines climb over the wall, we can build a frame in the backyard and let the flowers hang down from it. It will be nice to sit under the frame and make tea while enjoying the cool air."
Guan Xiaodie smiled and said, "It's very beautiful just thinking about it."
Except for the first time when she saw Guan Xiaodie, she had the feeling that she was a lady from a wealthy family. Unexpectedly, she never showed any sisterly behavior in her after that. Song Yuehua said a few words to her and then left with Xiaobao in her arms.
