Chapter 13: Distressed
The more Zhou Lili saw that Lin Xiaowan was sensible and could speak, the more irritable she became, and the worse her face became.
And the more Lin Xiaowan looked at her like this, the more she cared about her.
Finally, the bus came, there were a lot of people at this station, and there were no seats, so on the bus, Lin Xiaowan kept supporting Zhou Lili, and Shen Lingjun also cared about her all the time, making Zhou Lili seem to be really sick.
Fortunately, the distance was not far, and it didn't take long to get to the gate of the compound, and after getting out of the car, Lin Xiaowan and Shen Lingjun sent Zhou Lili to the door of the house, and watched her enter the courtyard before leaving.
Zhou Lili went home, ran back to her room angrily, closed the door, picked up a notebook on the table, and tore it to pieces.
At this time, she still had the gentleness and generosity in front of others, with evil and resentment in her eyes, but she remembered her plan, and had hope, and sat on the edge of the bed and began to think about whether her plan was perfect enough.
After returning home, it was almost noon, and Shen Lingjun was going to cook after putting down his things.
Lin Xiaowan hurriedly said: "Mom, just the two of us, don't cook and stir-fry, if you don't dislike it, I'll make you a few potato cakes and make a bowl of soy sauce soup?"
"How can there be a new daughter-in-law cooking, I'll come, you want to cook it for a month or two. "Shen Lingjun is not adulterated at all.
"Mom, how can there be these rules you said, some people in our village have to get up to make breakfast on the second day of marriage, we don't learn from others, we can do whatever we want. "Said that Lin Xiaowan approached the kitchen.
Shen Lingjun was not at ease and followed in: "Then my mother will give you a hand." ”
Lin Xiaowan responded with a smile: "Then if I can't get it myself, let my mother reach out." ”
While speaking, Lin Xiaowan had already begun to cut shredded potatoes, put the shredded potatoes in the water, put the seasoning to taste, and then scooped the appropriate noodles into it, put some shallots, stirred well, heated the pot, put the oil, and began to cook the potato cakes.
It didn't take long for the potato cake to be ready, and then she put the remaining minced green onions in two bowls, got some soy sauce, and then washed it in with the boiling water that had been boiled before.
Shen Lingjun looked at Lin Xiaowan's swiftness and proficiency in his work, and really felt that this child was much more mature than his actual age.
She helped Lin Xiaowan bring the cake and soup to the table, and the two began to eat.
Shen Lingjun took a bite of the potato cake: "I really didn't expect this thing to be so simple and delicious, I have to learn it, and I can also make breakfast this morning." ”
"Mom doesn't dislike what I make is not delicious. ”
"I haven't eaten a ready-made meal in years, and it's too late for me to be happy. ”
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished eating, Shen Lingjun rushed to wash the dishes for everything, and after washing the dishes, it was time for Shen Lingjun to take a nap.
Lin Xiaowan was also a little tired, so he also went upstairs to take a nap, and when he got up, he found that it was very quiet downstairs, knowing that Shen Lingjun hadn't woken up yet, so he began to draw drawings of clothes, although he didn't understand clothing design, but his painting skills were very strong, and he knew how to cut, plus the vision of the future people in his previous life for so many years, what was the difficulty of drawing a few pictures?
Lin Xiaowan wasn't sure whether to make a windbreaker or pants for her mother-in-law, so she drew both drawings.
After the painting was finished, she heard the sound of the door opening downstairs, and knew that Shen Lingjun was awake, she went downstairs with the drawings, sat next to Shen Lingjun and asked her to choose: "Mom, do you like these pants or a windbreaker?"
Shen Lingjun didn't expect Lin Xiaowan's piece of fabric to be chosen for himself before, so at this time, he was a little surprised when he looked at the drawings that Lin Xiaowan brought over: "Xiaowan, what are you going to do for me?"
Lin Xiaowan nodded: "Well, this material is for my mother, but I'm not sure what is more appropriate, Mom, do you like a windbreaker or wide-legged pants?"
Listening to Lin Xiaowan's words, Shen Lingjun also noticed that Lin Xiaowan's drawings were very professional, she looked at Lin Xiaowan and asked, "Xiaowan, have you learned cutting?"
Lin Xiaowan smiled and shook her head: "No, I just read this kind of book, I spent some time researching, and I also made clothes and pants myself." She didn't go into too much detail, but showed that she really does.
Shen Lingjun really found out more and more that his son had picked up the treasure at this time, because he really didn't have any hope for this daughter-in-law before, but the surprises in the past two days have been endless.
She looked at the clothes and pants on the drawing, to be honest, he likes trench coats, but in order to make Lin Xiaowan simple, she still chose wide-legged pants: "Then make a pair of pants first, these pants look better than bell bottoms." ”
Lin Xiaowan should say: "Then I'll measure my mother's size, and I'll start making it, these pants are simple." ”
Shen Lingjun took out the tape measure: "Xiaowan, you are not very old, you know a lot of things, and you don't suffer less when you are at home, right?"
Lin Xiaowan measured Shen Lingjun's legs and said: "Although I am adopted, my adoptive parents are very good to me, although my family is poor, they don't treat me badly, it's just that the children of the poor are in charge early, and it is always useful to learn more." ”
After speaking, Lin Xiaowan recorded the measured size, and then measured the waist circumference.
Shen Lingjun listened to Lin Xiaowan's words, and his impression of her was even better: "You are a good boy who values kindness and is sensible. ”
Lin Xiaowan finished measuring the size, wrote it all, and checked it: "Mom has won the award, and I am also so happy because I have met so many good people like Mom." ”
Shen Lingjun touched Lin Xiaowan's shoulder: "Good boy, remember if you have anything in the future, and your mother will help you." ”
Lin Xiaowan smiled and joked with a little joke: "Then now Mom will help me turn on the sewing machine?"
Shen Lingjun also smiled: "Okay, mom will help you do it together." ”
This sewing machine has been useless for a few days, so Shen Lingjun tried it to use it well, and then brought the sewing basket over.
Lin Xiaowan put on the thread, first took a piece of cloth in a basket, stared at the sewing machine and tried it, and felt that it was quite handy, so she began to stand up and cut the fabric.
Shen Lingjun looked at Lin Xiaowan's skillful movements, and really felt more and more that this daughter-in-law really didn't look like such a young person, she could do anything, but of course she was happy, it was her son's blessing.
Because the pants are relatively simple, it is relatively easy to cut, although Lin Xiaowan is a little handy, but fortunately, the mother-in-law is considerate of herself, so she chose the pants first, so that she can make better.
Anyway, she was not in a hurry, she was talking to Shen Lingjun, and the work in her hands did not stop, and with Shen Lingjun's help, it was a lot easier.
In the middle, Shen Lingjun answered a phone call, it was his father-in-law Lu Jianguo who called, he had a meeting at night and didn't come back for dinner, so the two of them were not in a hurry, and they made their pants at dusk.
Shen Lingjun hurriedly went into the house to change into it, came out and looked at the front and back in the mirror, and was happy: "These pants look good, wait for me to change into a pair of leather shoes and take a look." As he spoke, he changed into a pair of black leather shoes with heels.
Lin Xiaowan knew that her mother-in-law had a good figure, and she really couldn't tell her age when she wore it: "Mom, it's so good-looking, your shirt is quite matched, and the light-colored top can be matched with the short." ”
Shen Lingjun turned around: "It's so good, Xiaowan, you are so good, I'm afraid that if I wear out these pants, the women in the courtyard will have to do one according to the style." ”
