Chapter 509: The Kids Put on New Linen Clothes



As summer approached, Hu Jiaojiao also made several sets of clothes for Long Mo and the cubs with cloth, so that they would not have no cool clothes to wear in summer.

A female can receive cloth for two sets of clothes. Hu Jiaojiao also participated in the labor and received cloth. The rest of the cloth was exchanged for supplies.

Originally, Feng Sheng and Hu Jing strongly asked her to take it back directly, but she refused.

What she lacked the most was supplies.

There were eight people in her family. If she took everything for free, it would be a mess.

With Hu Jiaojiao taking the lead, there has never been an orc in the tribe who wanted to take advantage. They all exchanged supplies for cloth in an orderly manner.

Summer clothes are much easier to sew than winter animal skins. Hu Jiaojiao sewed them all by hand stitch by stitch.

The last stitch went through the clothes and tied a knot. Foxy Jiaojiao bit the thread with her teeth and turned the clothes over. The stitches were almost invisible.

"Children, come and try on your new clothes."

Foxy Jiaojiao shouted to the yard.

Today happened to be a day off. The children didn't have to go to school or the rabbit pen, so they helped her chop and collect firewood in the yard.

Every day off, the six children could pile up a yard full of firewood, and Foxy Jiaojiao had prepared firewood for cooking for a week.

As soon as Foxy Jiaojiao finished speaking, the six children swarmed in.

The group of skinny little carrots have grown a lot taller now. The new clothes made in early spring have only been worn for a few months, and the sleeves and trouser legs are much shorter.

The cubs' wrists and ankles were all exposed.

"Mom, our clothes are still wearable, no need to wear new clothes." Long Yu said sensibly.

Although their family had no shortage of animal skins, sewing clothes stitch by stitch was also very hard work.

Every time mom made clothes, she had to make a lot of them, which was even more tiring.

"Yes, mom, we don't want new clothes..." Long Yao nodded in agreement, but his hand had already touched the clothes next to the foxy girl out of curiosity.

"What kind of animal skin is this? How come Xiaowu has never seen this kind of animal skin? It looks so thin..."

Long Zhong slapped it.

"Don't touch anything, take your hand back, look at your dirty hand."

Long Yao looked down at his black hand, quickly took it back, and rubbed it hard on his trouser leg.

Foxy explained jokingly:

"This is not animal skin, this is linen, made of ramie."

"Linen? Mother, is it made of the grass brought back by the uncles in the tribe?" Long Ling'er asked curiously.

They often saw the beastmen in the tribe carrying many inedible plants back.

"Grass can be used to make clothes?" Long Zhong's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

Several children were also surprised.

It's not that they haven't worn grass before.

When they were young, there was no animal skin, so they tied grass into a grass skirt and wrapped it around their buttocks.

But they have never seen grass like animal skin, piece by piece.

"Yes, it's made of the grass called ramie." Foxy nodded.

"Wood can be made into thin paper, so it's not surprising that grass can be made into clothes." Compared with the other kids, Long Xiu was the calmest.

Seeing the kids' surprised expressions, Hu Jiaojiao smiled and urged them,

"Go wash your hands and try the new clothes to see if they fit you."

The kids immediately washed their hands and lined up to receive their new clothes.

Ramie fiber is white, and after processing, it is a little off-white and yellowish. It is a thin layer of linen, and it is very refreshing and comfortable to wear, without the heavy feeling of animal skin.

Hu Jiaojiao made two sets for each kid, all of which were the simplest vests and shorts. Long Ling'er wore short sleeves and a skirt, which was just above the knee.

Because the clothes of each cub were the same, Foxy embroidered the cubs' names on them to make it easier for them to identify them.

After a while, the cubs came down from the building wearing new clothes.

"Mom, this linen is so thin, it's so cool to wear, and it won't be hot in the summer." The happiest person was undoubtedly Long Ling'er.

Female bodies are delicate and they are most sensitive to cold and heat.

Every summer, she was too hot to move, not to mention wearing a layer of airtight animal skin.

"Does Ling'er like it?" Foxy asked with a smile.

"I like it!"

Long Ling'er ran to Foxy and turned around, the joy on her face was beyond words.

Although the other cubs were not as excited as Long Ling'er, they also loved the new clothes and touched them here and there, feeling the softness of the fabric.

Hu Jiaojiao looked at them one by one.

She was afraid that the cubs would grow too fast, so she made the clothes a little bigger as usual.

Summer is hot, and looser clothes are cooler.

Several cubs inherited Long Mo's good looks. Although the clothes are loose, they don't look sloppy at all.

Generally, beastmen will look dark in white, but her cubs don't look dark at all. Instead, their cheeks are white and tender, and their lips are red and their teeth are white, which is very cute.

"Mom, we all have new clothes, where are your new clothes?" Long Yao's big eyes turned around and found that Hu Jiaojiao was still wearing animal skins, and asked with round eyes.

Did they run out of cloth and mom had no cloth to use?

Long Yao's little head was full of imagination.

Looking at Hu Jiaojiao again, he immediately took out his other set of clothes.

"Mom, Xiaowu only wants a new dress, this one is for mom, mom will look good in it."

The little guy obviously liked it very much, but he didn't hesitate at all when he took it out.

Seeing Long Yao like this, Hu Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart and rubbed his head.

"Mother has it, don't use it, Yao'er, keep it for yourself."

Seeing her say that, Long Yao felt relieved.

It's not summer yet, and it's still a bit cool to wear linen. The clothes have been processed a lot and haven't been washed yet, so there are a lot of dirt left on them.

Hu Jiaojiao asked them to take off their clothes by themselves, wash them, and wear them when summer comes.

Now the kids wash their clothes by themselves, and never let Hu Jiaojiao help.

Hu Jiaojiao packed up the scraps of cloth and took a bag of linen clothes to Hu Min's house.

She would never forget to send some to her parents, so she made two sets of linen clothes for each of them, and one set for the second and third brothers. Since

the eldest and fourth brothers had partners, it was inconvenient for her to send clothes, so she made a linen long skirt for Fengsheng and Hu Jing.

Giving them was equivalent to giving it to the eldest and fourth brothers.

When she arrived at Hu Min's house, Hu Jiaojiao unexpectedly found Hu Lin was there too.

"Jiaojiao, you came just in time. Hu Lin brought back a lot of fish today. Take them back and share them with the kids. I remember your kids all like to eat fish."

When Hu Min saw her kids coming, she immediately pulled Hu Jiaojiao in happily.

She turned around and asked Hu Lin and Hu Qiang to pack up the fish and give them to Hu Jiaojiao to take back.

Hu Jiaojiao then saw that the ground was covered with big fish, and each fish weighed at least 20 to 30 kilograms.

Half of the yard was full of fish.

"Mom, why are there so many fish?" Hu Jiaojiao asked in surprise.
