Chapter 12: Speculation
Of course, it's not just because she can use a sewing machine that Lin Xiaowan dares to say that she can make clothes.
In the previous life, there was a public sewing machine in the dormitory of the architectural design institute, and there were a few books on the sewing machine to make clothes.
After listening to Lin Xiaowan, she has used it a few times, Zhou Lili has a point in her heart, it is estimated that Lin Xiaowan will use a sewing machine in the sky, she is only eighteen, even if she is fifteen or sixteen, she can use it, but how many clothes can be made in the countryside a year? Not to mention that Lin Xiaowan's family is so poor, it is impossible to have any experience, and the fabric is not the same as the fabric in the city.
Thinking like this, Zhou Lili moved her mind, you are looking for death by yourself, so how can I not push you.
She looked at Shen Lingjun and said, "Aunt Shen, since Xiaowan said that she can make clothes, then it is better to let her try, I see that Xiaowan's hands are so skillful, can she make it look better than the one in this department store?"
Although Lin Xiaowan didn't expect Zhou Lili to help her speak, she also knew that she was not well-intentioned, but she was wary of her and was not afraid of her.
Shen Lingjun was originally hesitant, but Zhou Lili said so, so it would not be good for him to discourage the child's enthusiasm too much, anyway, he would use a sewing machine, and he could also help Lin Xiaowan do it together.
"Okay, let's buy some fabric and go back, if we can't do it, we'll wear it at home." Shen Lingjun felt that this was the first time he had taken his daughter-in-law out to buy something, so don't spoil the fun.
Lin Xiaowan actually understands Shen Lingjun's temperament, she will agree, just now she was actually worried about Zhou Lili stopping her, but she didn't expect her to help herself speak, whether she felt that she couldn't make clothes, or if she had any bad intentions, she was not sure, but the result was what she wanted.
She looked around the cloth shop for a few times, and finally chose a thin tweed fabric with brick red and gray checkered, planning to make a pair of wide-leg pants or a windbreaker for Shen Lingjun.
Then I chose a piece of army green velvet material, which I could make a strap skirt by myself.
In the end, I bought a few feet of white really good cloth, which can be used as the main material of the shirt, and then add some decorations, which is easy to match, and the effect should be good.
Shen Lingjun looked at Lin Xiaowan and chose these few pieces of fabric and asked, "Are these enough?"
Lin Xiaowan said with a smile: "Enough Mom, I'll do it for the first time, try it first." ”
Shen Lingjun looked at a piece of pink tweed on the side, and said to the salesperson, "Give me nine feet of this." "I originally wanted to say eight feet, but when I thought about Lin Xiaowan's first time making clothes, I still left some more margins.
The salesman looked at this house to buy so many things, and he was also enthusiastic, and gave up two more inches, which is the exclusive right of the cloth salesman.
Lin Xiaowan originally wanted to stop Shen Lingjun, but later felt that it was too polite to be distracted, and making her a beautiful dress by herself was better than anything else, so she didn't refuse, but thanked her happily.
After loading the fabric, Lin Xiaowan and Zhou Lili took the initiative to go over and carry the fabric, and followed Shen Lingjun to the counter of the shoes to take a look, but Lin Xiaowan said that she didn't let Shen Lingjun buy anything, and she had new leather shoes when she got married, which was enough to wear.
After going around on the second floor, there was nothing needed, so Shen Lingjun took Lin Xiaowan and Zhou Lili downstairs and went directly to the place where food was sold on the first floor.
Shen Lingjun said to Lin Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, if you want to eat whichever you want, just say it." ”
Lin Xiaowan looked at these dim sums, and was excited, because in his previous life, when he first arrived in Bincheng, he saved an old chef surnamed Xu at the back door of a hotel, and later Xu Lao taught Lin Xiaowan his housekeeping skills, not to cook, but to make traditional Chinese court dim sum, the old chef has no descendants, the dream is to pass on this craft, and not long after teaching Lin Xiaowan, he passed away.
When she saw the dim sum again in this life, Lin Xiaowan's heart was a little sour, thinking of the old man who had poured out his heart and lungs for himself, and also remembered his expectations for his family's ancestral craftsmanship.
Seeing that Lin Xiaowan had been staring at those dim sum and not speaking, Zhou Lili could be regarded as finding the opportunity to speak: "Aunt Shen, Xiaowan should have never seen so many kinds of dim sum, so she lost her temper for a while, or I will introduce this dim sum to her, so that she can know what it is made and what it tastes like." ”
Shen Lingjun nodded: "It's okay, Lili, you are the same age, which one do you like to eat, I will also buy some for Xiaowan." ”
When Lin Xiaowan listened to Zhou Lili's words, she relieved herself, she looked at Shen Lingjun with a smile and said, "Mom, I can choose by myself." After speaking, he looked at the counter and said, "Changbai cake and shaqima are too sweet, Jiang rice noodles are a little hard, I remember that there are peach cakes and bad cakes at home." Then buy some salt and pepper crisp and stove fruit, which can be eaten by anyone at home. ”
Zhou Lili was speechless for a while, because she just said that she hadn't seen these, but in a blink of an eye, people basically said half of the types of dim sum, didn't she slap herself in the face?
So at this time, Zhou Lili couldn't help but feel unwilling in her heart, and smiled a little gloomy: "Xiaowan, are there so many varieties of dim sum sold in your village?"
Lin Xiaowan looked at Zhou Lili's somewhat hideous face, and said with a smile: "I also came into contact with these by chance. ”
She didn't say much, because it wasn't a big deal, and it was possible to eat and see it at relatives and friends' houses, so there was no need to make so many excuses.
Shen Lingjun is becoming more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law, although this child is from the countryside, he has a wide range of knowledge, which is a good thing for his family.
She was a person who didn't have much thought, so she smiled and asked the salesperson to weigh the snacks.
After buying the dim sum, Zhou Lili's face became more and more ugly, how could she think that Lin Xiaowan was different, but where was the difference?
She is very panicked now, but fortunately, she designed a big pit for Lin Xiaowan the day after tomorrow that she can't escape, even if you are capable now, you will be trampled under my feet forever by then, and you will have to roll back into your ravine, your place is mine.
Lin Xiaowan looked at Zhou Lili's complicated expression, and pretended to be concerned and asked, "Lili, are you uncomfortable?"
Shen Lingjun was carrying a snack and also looked at Zhou Lili: "Lili, why are you uncomfortable?"
Zhou Lili thought that I was uncomfortable anywhere, but she couldn't say: "I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy, and I'll be fine for a while." ”
Lin Xiaowan didn't want to go shopping anymore, because she didn't have any money now, and Shen Lingjun had to spend money on everything, so it was almost time to go home.
So Lin Xiaowan said to Shen Lingjun: "Mom, why don't we go home now, so that Lili can go home and rest." ”
Shen Lingjun hurriedly responded: "What Xiaowan said is that let's go home." After saying that, he quickly took them out of the department store and went directly to the bus station.
When waiting for the car, Lin Xiaowan also took good care of Zhou Lili, and in the future, she couldn't always let Zhou Lili play the good person who was sensible and confidant, and her image should be established.
