Chapter 619: I Can Only Help This Brat!
Sister-in-law Zhao is helping to make cotton-padded clothes at home these days.
In order not to waste time, Gu Yunyao invited her to have lunch at home.
Of course, I won’t make anything too delicious, nor will I eat anything too bad.
I often make braised noodles, pancakes and cabbage, potato and radish soup.
Just eating like this surprised Sister Zhao.
Gu Yunyao explained patiently, "My comrades from Dajun sent me fine noodles in the mail. You are here to help me work hard every day. Of course you have to eat them well."
Sister-in-law Zhao said to herself that the girl is kind in her work.
Sister-in-law Zhao helped for a few days, and the cotton-padded clothes for the six members of the Lu family were almost finished.
Gu Yunyao had calculated that she could make quilts by herself, but she really couldn't make the cotton coats for the people in the cowshed.
There is no problem with such a trivial matter as wadding, but looking at Mrs. Zhao's skillful cutting, her face is full of confusion.
Gu Yunyao quickly found an excuse, "Sister-in-law, there are still four sets of cotton-padded clothes that have not been made. Two sets belong to my brothers, one of whom is taller than Damin and about the same fat and thin..."
Sister-in-law Zhao thought that after making the cotton-padded clothes, it would be time for the girl to fulfill her promise, but she did not expect that she would have to make four sets of cotton-padded clothes.
Coupled with Nizi's incident, she didn't say anything, but the work on her hands was obviously slowed down.
Gu Yunyao quickly remembered an old saying: If you don't add oil, you won't be slippery.
"Sister-in-law, you make the cotton-padded clothes I promised to make for Nizi first. You can use these pieces of fabric in any color Nizi likes. In addition, I will give you five kilograms of cotton, which is enough to make cotton-padded clothes for your father and son. When you come back in the evening
Take it back home."
Five pounds of cotton?
Not to mention giving it to them and their son, even if I want to make a new cotton-padded jacket, that's enough.
The girl is too generous.
Thinking of her little thoughts, Sister-in-law Zhao felt extremely ashamed.
"Sister, I'd better wait until I finish four sets of cotton-padded clothes before I become a girl. There's no rush for five pounds of cotton."
Gu Yunyao said seriously: "Sister-in-law, don't wait until it's finished. Cut it for Nizi now. Make it as soon as it's cut. Nizi will be happy to see it."
While talking, she brought some pieces of fabric over and said nonchalantly: "Cut it a little bigger and sew more fabric inside. Next year, as long as you let it go, Nizi can wear it."
Because cloth requires tickets and cloth tickets are scarce, people in the village make cotton-padded clothes for their children in this way.
The elegant and graceful cotton clothes are also made in this way.
The heights of the three Lu brothers and sisters were basically set, so Gu Yunyao didn't let Sister Zhao stay.
Sister-in-law Zhao chose a piece of fabric with complicated emotions and cut it for her daughter.
In the evening, Gu Yunyao made a large triangular bag with fabric.
Put five kilograms of cotton and the cotton clothes made for Nizi into it, and ask Mrs. Zhao, who was full of guilt, to carry them back.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhao came over diligently.
"Sister, I brought so many good things back yesterday, and the boss said something about me..."
Gu Yunyao knew that Brother Zhao was a good person, and the other party really saw the clues.
She smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, this little thing is nothing. We sisters will benefit from it in the future."
Sister-in-law Zhao said flatteringly: "Hurry up and make four sets of cotton-padded clothes so that we sisters can have a rest."
Gu Yunyao sighed. Sister Zhao could rest, but she still had to drive out a few quilts. This project was not small.
There is no other way. In this day and age, we can only do it ourselves.
A few days later, the two finally worked together to finish four sets of cotton-padded clothes.
Before leaving, Gu Yunyao gave her sister-in-law ten pounds of white flour produced by Space.
Sister-in-law Zhao was deeply moved. The cotton was obviously given too much, and the white flour was even more extra.
She felt guilty and asked diligently: "Sister, if you have anything to do at home from now on, just call me. By the way, isn't your wife pregnant? Have you prepared the quilt and mat for the child? Can I do it for you?"
My daughter-in-law studies hard every day and has no time to prepare.
Gu Yunyao didn't have time at all. She wanted to wait until the quilt was ready before getting ready.
She is not good at needlework, but fortunately children are not so particular about things.
When Mrs. Zhao asked, she calmly replied, "Our daughter-in-law is diligent and is ready."
After sending away Sister-in-law Zhao, Gu Yunyao took the time to go back to her parents' house and sent two sacks of cotton and two pieces of fabric to her younger brother's house, so that she could make whatever she wanted.
After she came back, she started making quilts.
When Lu Dajun and others went to ask for advice about their studies, she asked the children to quickly send over several sets of ready-made cotton-padded clothes.
It's cloudy today and it seems like it's going to snow.
Wang Meng hadn't seen the girl for a few days. When he saw some children coming over and brought some sets of cotton-padded clothes, he understood immediately.
