Chapter 43: Cut, Cut, Cut



Jiang Yun stayed at He Xiangdong's house for a whole day and personally participated in the making of a piece of clothing.

This is Jiang Yun's outfit for traveling far away and celebrating the New Year, and she has learned it very seriously.

In order to prevent He Xiangdong from feeling bored with needlework, Jiang Yun would sometimes deliberately make one or two mistakes in sewing, and would also deliberately ask He Xiangdong how to do it better.

Bai Xiuzhen saw all of this and fell in love with Jiang Yun from the bottom of her heart. She answered all of Jiang Yun's questions without showing off, and even found a pair of her own cotton gloves and a pair of knee pads to give to Jiang Yun.

When He Xiangdong heard that Jiang Yun was going to visit her grandparents, he was extremely envious: "You're so lucky! You can spend the New Year at grandma's house. I heard that you can even go hunting at the forest farm. How wonderful! I want to go back to grandma's house with you!"

Bai Xiuzhen's parents' home is also in Tongcheng, right by the Green River.

"How about you go too? We can be good companions. You can stay in the forest farm for a few days and we can play in the mountains together." Jiang Jun enthusiastically invited He Xiangdong to go with her. Bai Xiuzhen's stories about Tongcheng's past aroused her great interest. If He Xiangdong also went, she could walk around Tongcheng.

She especially wanted to go to Changbai Mountain, but she definitely couldn't go with Jiang Lan. It would be great if He Xiangdong could accompany her and take care of her on the way.

He Xiangdong was so excited by Jiang Jun's words that he felt itchy inside. The desire on his face was extremely obvious: "Mom, I want to go to grandma's house too. Can you call my dad and tell him?"

Jiang Yun was itching to make some small items like scarves and hats because of the needlework skills she had just learned. Before she even got home, she started thinking about making some small items like scarves and hats.

When she returned home with the new cotton-padded jacket, only Jiang Yonghua was cooking in the kitchen. Zhang Xiuying had taken Jiang Lan out.

"Your mother will be living in the dormitory at her workplace starting tomorrow, so it's too late to make you a cotton-padded jacket." Jiang Yonghua explained to his daughter, "I'll go get you a set of female soldier's cotton trousers and shoes."

While Zhang Xiuying was not at home, Jiang Yonghua took out two more yuan and gave it to Jiang Jun: "Take this. It's just you and Xiaolan. Keep it with you. In case you need it, you can take a car, make a phone call, send a telegram, etc."

Jiang Yonghua felt a little guilty for not being able to make a new set of clothes for his eldest daughter, and he tried his best to find ways to make up for it.

Jiang Jun understood this feeling of indebtedness and took the money with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, I will keep it carefully! I learned how to make clothes from Aunt Bai today, so I can just make a cotton hat myself."

Jiang Yonghua smiled and said, "If you don't know how to do it, just wear my cotton hat. Also, it's getting colder tonight, so I've heated up the kang. You can sleep with Xiaolan. It's warmer. The north room is too cold."

Many children who have been neglected by their parents will reject their parents' belated love and even use confrontation to express their anger at being neglected.

Jiang Jun knew that this reaction would only lead to a deeper rift. She also knew that if she rejected her father as a child, she would become accustomed to rejecting her boss as an adult. She would not make such a mistake and readily agreed, "Okay, I'll go get my blanket right away."

During this period, Jiang Yonghua's concern for her was genuine and good, and she had to express her joy.

All the usable and unusable cloths, cotton and wool in the house were stored in Zhang Xiuying's bedroom. Jiang Jun turned the wooden boxes in the cabin upside down. The only item with some cotton was a small quilt that was about 80% new and had just been put away. Apart from that, he could not find any other materials that could be used to make scarves and knee pads.

When they were sleeping at night, the kang was too hot. Jiang Lan kicked off the quilt, and Jiang Jun was also too hot to hide in a cool place. When there was no place to hide, he woke up from the heat.

After waking up and covering Jiang Lan with a quilt, he couldn't fall asleep again.

Jiang Jun stared at the patterns on the quilt in a trance, her obsessive-compulsive disorder kicking in. In her eyes, the quilt pattern had transformed into geometric patterns on a piece of draft paper...

As soon as Zhang Xiuying left the door, she started cutting with scissors!

Zhang Xiuying won't be home for several days, so it doesn't matter even if her actions are discovered, hehe, she has already arrived in Tongcheng!

After Jiang Jun got up, he asked Jiang Lan for the key to her house in exchange for riding his bike to take her to school. He kept walking around outside and had circled around the air-raid shelter several times before 8:30.

Chen Yuefei hurried over on his bike and took out the novel from his pocket from a distance: "Didn't you say nine o'clock? Luckily I came early!"

Jiang Jun smiled and took the book wrapped in a scarf. "I have to go back to my grandmother's house in Tongcheng in a couple of days. I will return it to you after I come back. Is that okay?"

Chen Yuefei nodded: "Okay, my brother won't be back soon, it's okay for you to stay for a few more days."

Jiang Yun stepped on the pedals and said, "I'll be leaving now. I'll bring you something delicious later."

Chen Yuefei stood at attention and saluted: "I won't take a single needle or thread from the people!"

Puff! Jiang Jun almost fell off the handlebars. The front of the bike tilted and he rode away unsteadily.

Now that’s good, I don’t have to worry about having nothing to do at my grandma’s house.

Jiang Jun slowly returned home and found a half-broken comb lying on the floor at the door. She parked her bicycle, picked up the comb, and placed it on the windowsill after entering the house.

It’s so nice to have a quiet home!

Jiang Yun happily took the scissors, small quilt, needle and thread to the outer room, took down the plastic sheet and the tablecloth crocheted with white thread on the dining table, spread out the small quilt, picked up the scissors and started working as a fashion designer.

The snapping sound of the scissors cutting the cloth gave Jiang Yun a strange feeling, as if the temper that he usually had to restrain was now being released with great pleasure.

Soon, two scarves were cut out. Jiang Jun's hands did not stop, and she continued to cut along the lines of the cotton quilt cover. She also wanted to cut out two pairs of knee pads.

The planes of the neckband and kneepads are both square, and after cutting, there is still a piece left.

Jiang Jun gestured left and right. It was not enough to make gloves, and it was also too small to make knee pads. Finally, he decided to make a muff.

The next step was the delicate needlework. For the sake of beauty, Jiang Yun decided to embroider her own signature bamboo leaves.

Just as she was conscientiously tracing bamboo leaves on the cloth, the padlock on the door suddenly hit the pen in her hand, startling her.

A voice yelled, "You damn kid, why did you cut my quilt?"

The harsh audio made Jiang Jun's scalp numb. She looked up and saw Zhang Xiuying standing at the door with her hands on her hips, breathing heavily, and Jiang Yonghua standing behind her.

This was Zhang Xiuying's petty act. When she went out in the morning, she deliberately threw the comb at the door and walked a long way, calculating that Jiang Jun must be at home at this time.

Zhang Xiuying's goal was to catch Jiang Jun in the act in front of Jiang Yonghua.

She knew that Jiang Jun was doing something behind her back.

How about it, he was finally caught!
