So, I have long regarded him as a family member.
"Eat more vegetables." The amount of vegetables cooked today was quite large, and Bai Rong was afraid that there would be leftovers.
Ma Dahai felt very happy and appreciated the children's praise.
He was even more excited than if he had won the jackpot himself.
…..
After dinner.
Ruan Mengmeng took out a piece of dark blue cloth from the house [actually the space].
Her younger brother will be going to school tomorrow, so she has to take advantage of the afternoon when she has nothing to do to prepare the things he will need for school tomorrow.
"Auntie, where is the sewing kit at home? I want to use it." Now that everyone lives under the same roof, she doesn't dare to go into the space to use the sewing machine.
So, I had to take the trouble to sew it myself.
It’s just a schoolbag, it doesn’t take much effort.
"What are you going to do?" Bai Rong asked in confusion.
Could it be that this child wants to make clothes?
But the color of the cloth doesn't look like it, it's really too dark.
It's totally inappropriate for her at her age.
"Zilong is going to school tomorrow, so I'm making a schoolbag for him." Ruan Mengmeng did not hide it.
"You can also sew?" Bai Rong looked at her with sparkling eyes as if she had discovered a treasure.
"Yes, I can." Ruan Mengmeng then remembered that she had never demonstrated this skill in front of them.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get the sewing kit." After saying that, Bai Rong turned and went into the bedroom.
No wonder Bai Rong collected these little things.
But, apart from her, no one else in the family usually uses it.
She has a habit of putting things back to their original places after use.
Avoid not being able to find it next time you need it.
In fact, this is a very good habit.
The brain's habitual thinking will make you think that things are still in the same place.
But after a moment, Bai Rong came out carrying a small bamboo basket.
"The sewing kit, scissors, ruler, paintbrush... are all in there." Bai Rong put the bamboo basket on the table.
"No matter how big you want it, I'll help you cut it." As she said that, she took out a paintbrush and scissors.
"Hmm... twenty times thirty." Ruan Mengmeng thought for a while.
In her impression, schoolbags are about that big.
If it was any bigger, she was afraid it would be a burden for her younger brother to carry.
"Okay." After the words fell, Bai Rong picked up the paintbrush and measured a few times with a tape measure on the dark blue cloth, and then drew the appropriate size.
Her hands flew, she picked up the scissors, and with a few clicks, she cut the dark blue cloth into pieces of different sizes.
Seeing how fast her hands were, Ruan Mengmeng couldn't help but admire her.
Sure enough, old ginger is still spicy.
She can also cut, but she is not as skillful as Bai Rong.
You need to pause in the middle to avoid cutting it too badly.
Bai Rong's haircut was so smooth and flowing that even Ruan Mengmeng saw beauty in it.
Unbelievable.
Ruan Mengmeng did not bother Bai Rong with the sewing task, but did it herself.
She quite likes doing handicrafts.
Born in an orphanage, she did a lot of handicrafts when she was in school to earn some pocket money.
It’s just making a schoolbag, a piece of cake for her.
However, many handicrafts in later generations were basically semi-finished products.
Therefore, she is not particularly familiar with cutting and measuring sizes.
Even a little unfamiliar.
Sewing is a very simple thing.
Apart from being a little slower than a sewing machine and the stitches not being as precise as those made by a machine, everything else is fine.
Nowadays, most people still wear clothes that are sewn stitch by stitch.
Therefore, sewing school bags is also very common.
Unlike later generations, all factories are mechanized and fully automatic.
Handicrafts have basically been submerged in the long river of history.
Ruan Mengmeng's hands were also very fast. In just over twenty minutes, she had sewn the prototype of the schoolbag.
The reason why it is called a prototype is because Ruan Mengmeng plans to add a layer of edging around the backpack.
Some decorations were also made.
Half an hour later...
"Sister, I really like this schoolbag." Ruan Zilong touched the schoolbag on his shoulder with shining eyes.
"Well, I'll take you to school tomorrow. The textbooks you'll be given, as well as your exercise books, pencils, and pencil case, can all be put in it. I've also sewn a few inner pockets inside."
Ruan Mengmeng was quite satisfied with her results.
The schoolbag is neither too big nor too small, just right for Ruan Zilong's age.
Moreover, this dark blue color is also very durable and not easy to get dirty.
Ruan Zilong searched the schoolbag inside and out, and the surprise in his eyes became even greater.
I can’t put down my new schoolbag.
A large piece of dark blue cloth was only used to make a schoolbag and was not used up at all.
Ruan Mengmeng had no use for the rest, so she did so at Zhang Xinxin's request.
Made two small cloth bags.
Compared to Ruan Zilong's schoolbag, it is much smaller and the pattern on it is also different.
"Wow, Mengmeng, I didn't expect you to be so skillful with your hands. I like this pattern."
Touching the pattern on the cloth bag, Zhang Xinxin exclaimed in amazement.
She doesn't know how to do this kind of technical work.
However, she had a lot of compliments in her mind.
"Well, Mengmeng's craftsmanship is really good, better than mine." Bai Rong was happy but also looked distressed.
Such a young child knows so many things, he must have suffered a lot in the past.
However, it is always good to have many skills. While she felt sorry for her, she was also happy for Ruan Mengmeng.
This girl is like a treasure. The closer you get to her, the more advantages you discover about her.
Fortunately, his son acted early, otherwise, if some other brat had gotten there first, they would have regretted it to death.
Ruan Mengmeng didn't know what she was thinking.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
After all, not everyone can catch her eye and spend a lifetime with her.
I have pencil cases, erasers, pencils... I have them all at home, so I don't have to go out and buy them.
Ruan Zilong studies at home, and these things will be used.
When the time comes, you can just take it away and use it.
As for the household registration book, the brother and sister are now registered in the Zhang family’s household registration book.
Ruan Zilong's identity is equivalent to that of Zhang Weiguo's youngest son.
This identity is enough to go to school in the military district.
After all, military schools will not accept children from outside.
Ruan Mengmeng was extremely grateful that the siblings had not listened to Bai Rong's advice and followed her to the city.
It’s not that she looks down on the conditions in Zhangjia Village, but she really doesn’t know when her younger brother will be able to go to school.
In many places in rural areas, conditions are very limited.
Moreover, their feudal ideas are very serious.
Many boys are treated as laborers at home, not to mention girls.
It's impossible for you to go to school.
In their eyes, being able to help them work in the fields and earn work points is much more useful than going to school.
There is no immediate benefit in going to school, so they will not choose to let their children go to school.
These days, going to school is really of little use.
