[Chapter 337 Chapter 337 Crochet Sweater]
Shen Yuyao used scissors to cut open the outer packaging of the package, and then found that inside were balls of wool carefully wrapped in waterproof kraft paper.
There are wool yarns of various colors, and it’s a big bag. It looks like it weighs more than ten pounds in total!
Shen Yuyao was shocked and had no idea why her aunt sent her so much yarn!
She ignored the yarn and first looked for the letter in the package.
Only after seeing this did I understand.
It turned out that Hai City had experienced heavy rain some time ago.
The heavy rain lasted for many days. Many factory buildings were leaking, and water even entered the houses in low-lying areas.
A little sister who was on good terms with her aunt Shen Tianqing worked at the Hai City Woolen Mill. Some time ago, she found Shen Tianqing and told her that there was a water leak in the warehouse where they stored wool yarn, and as a result, a lot of wool yarn was soaked. They wanted to sell it at a discount, and asked her if she wanted any.
Shen Tianqing naturally would not give up such a good opportunity!
Shen Tianqing said that because the warehouse was leaking badly, a lot of the wool yarn was soaked and the colors were mixed, so it was impossible to sell it anymore, so the price for selling it to the outside was very cheap, and no invoice was required.
It’s just that the people in the factory don’t want to bother with the retail business, so if you want to buy, you have to buy at least 50 kilograms.
Such an opportunity is really rare, Shen Tianqing definitely doesn’t want to give it up.
So she teamed up with two families with whom she had good relations to buy 50 kilograms.
Shen Tianqing said that everyone in the family had a share, and this was the one for Shen Yuyao, so she could keep it and use it slowly.
Even if the color of pure wool yarn is not pretty, the sweater made from it will definitely be warm.
After putting down the letter, Shen Yuyao spread out all the wool and looked at it.
Then she found that her aunt had washed the threads countless times before they were sent to her, and they were completely clean.
Not only was there no moldy smell, but it was even rolled up neatly, into balls of wool weighing only a few ounces each, and even the tangled parts were smoothed out.
Shen Yuyao sat at the table, looking at the wool spread out on the table, and began to think about what to send back to her aunt's house.
Although they only met once a few years ago, my aunt is really close to Shen Yuyao.
He would send gifts every festival, and whenever the family bought something new, Shen Yuyao was never forgotten.
Shen Yuyao thought about it, then went out and knocked on Wu Yulan's door.
Seeing her, Wu Yulan hurriedly made way for her into the house.
Shen Yuyao waved her hand: "I'm not going in. I just want to ask your relatives in the forest farm if they can get some good mountain products?"
Wu Yulan has a cousin who is now working as an educated youth in a forest farm not far from Anhuai.
Shen Yuyao had heard a long time ago that there were a lot of good things at the forest farm, but her family didn't lack them normally, so she had never gone out of her way to buy any.
Now that she has received so much wool from her aunt, she wants to buy some good things and send them to her.
"What do you want?"
Wu Yulan asked: "Pine nuts and hazelnuts are definitely fine. Wood ear mushrooms are also fine. I asked my sister to buy these before. The quality is pretty good."
She thought about it, then looked at Shen Yuyao and asked tentatively: "Your aunt sent you something again? Do you want a return gift?"
There was nothing to hide, so Shen Yuyao simply told her that her aunt had sent her a lot of wool, which naturally caused Wu Yulan to exclaim in surprise.
Wu Yulan followed Shen Yuyao home without any hesitation, and praised the wool on the table.
Then she said: "These woolen yarns are not cheap goods. Even if they are defective, the quality must be very high.
It's definitely not appropriate to just send some dry goods. Why don't you just forget about it and I'll talk to my cousin and let her handle it?
If you have any good news, ask her to call Lao Cheng and have him come back to tell you."
Shen Yuyao naturally agreed.
After Wu Yulan left, Shen Yuyao started thinking about knitting.
It's still midsummer, so there's no need to rush, but it's a bit of a hassle to keep so much wool here.
Shen Yuyao rummaged through the ball of dimes and pulled out a ball of beige yarn weighing about half a pound. She thought about it and decided that she could crochet a cardigan for herself.
Speaking of which, the couple really has no shortage of sweaters.
The main thing was that when Shen Yuyao was learning to knit sweaters from her master, she not only knitted everything she could for her and Cheng Liyan, but also knitted a set of sweaters and trousers for her father and mother.
But the sweater she knitted at that time was a thick one, so she wanted to knit a thin one to wear.
The yarn Shen Yuyao chose was a ball of thin yarn. It would take too much energy to knit a sweater with it. She had learned crochet before, so she decided to try crocheting a sweater.
After thinking of the pattern, Shen Yuyao directly took out the crochet hook from the space and started crocheting on the spot.
She originally thought that she was not good at knitting, so she wanted to give it a try first. However, she became addicted to it and didn't even realize how much time had passed.
Xiaoyi was tired from playing in the room opposite, and it was time for him to drink milk, so Chen Bing and Gu Lin brought the child back to find his mother.
As soon as I entered the room, I found Shen Yuyao immersed in knitting, and the table in front of her was full of balls of yarn.
"Auntie, is this wool the package that was just sent to you?" Chen Bing looked at it in shock.
"Yeah." Shen Yuyao then realized that she had been sitting there for almost an hour.
She stood up, patted her stiff back, put the half-finished knitting aside, bent down and picked up her son.
Now Xiaoyi has begun to try to learn to walk.
Although he couldn't walk steadily without someone to support him, his calves kept jumping around all day long and it would be easy for him to get into trouble if no one was watching.
Gu Lin handed Xiaoyi to Shen Yuyao, and then began to help her and Chen Bing tidy up the wool on the table.
At Shen Yuyao's suggestion, the two of them wrapped all the wool in an old bed sheet and stuffed it into the newly built cabinet.
Afterwards, Chen Bing skillfully prepared milk powder for Xiaoyi, but Gu Lin picked up the wool knitted by Shen Yuyao and looked at it with envy.
In more than an hour, Shen Yuyao's sweater had been crocheted to more than half a foot long, and because it was crocheted with a crochet hook, the patterns were all visible.
Gu Lin looked at the beige flower with amazement in his eyes.
While watching, the little guy couldn't help but touch it gently with his hands, and he really didn't hide his love for it at all.
Seeing him like this, Shen Yuyao couldn't help but laugh and couldn't help teasing him: "Linlin, do you want to learn? If you want to learn, auntie will teach you. When you learn it, you can also crochet a sweater for yourself."
"I want to! Auntie, can I learn from you?" Gu Lin looked up, his eyes full of anticipation.
The children of the Gu family have learned everything they encountered since they were young, so Shen Yuyao has no idea that boys are not suitable for learning to crochet sweaters.
Since Gu Lin wants to learn, she is willing to teach.
So three days later, when Cheng Liyan returned home from the army with his second uncle, what he saw was his wife with a bunch of little radishes, each holding two crochet hooks, happily crocheting sweaters.
