Chapter 37: Practice Makes Perfect
After talking to the Yan family's grandmother for a while, Su Ling also explained that she cared. Knowing that it was to cut clothes, the Yan family's grandmother agreed directly.
"You! I really regard this girl as my sister.。 Grandma Yan said while stroking the fabric. That's a lot of food! Although it is said that it is only cotton, not silk, it is also a very good cotton cloth, and the price is not low.
The child of the Zhou family is now considered to be lucky. It is better to follow a kind-hearted girl like Xin'er than to follow an uncle and aunt with a wolf's heart.
Although Dong Xin, this girl, doesn't know where she comes from, and she doesn't know why a girl wants to live alone in this village, but she feels different from this girl in the countryside.
When I moved that day, there were several carriages! It's not ordinary. Maybe it's really a rich lady! I'm afraid that this little girl of the Zhou family will really be lucky in the future.
"Yes! I just think of her as my little sister! Su Ling smiled.
The Yan family's grandmother also cut it by herself, and she didn't specifically measure Zhou Ting's size, but she just looked at Zhou Ting carefully a few times, and she was able to cut it by hand. Seeing that although the Yan family's grandmother is so old, her hands are very dexterous, Su Ling really feels very powerful.
Such a simple glance at a glance can be a hand-made cutting technique, ordinary tailors can't do it!
"Grandma, you're so good! This hand! But more than many tailors. Su Ling praised with a smile.
"Practice makes perfect, just like when you embroider, sometimes you can embroider directly without drawing patterns!" Grandma Yan smiled. "When I was a child! My dad was a good tailor, so I learned a lot of trades. It's just that there are very few women who are tailors, so they can't eat this bowl of rice. ”
Su Ling also felt that it was indeed a pity not to be a tailor with such good craftsmanship. It's just that this world is inherently unfair to women. Being a tailor is also a business that requires showing your head, so there are few women. Although if you want to embroider a beautiful pattern on your clothes, you still have to find an embroiderer.
But those who really work as tailors have the opportunity to be men. Generally, women who show their heads are often looked down upon. In the countryside, it is not so strict, but as long as there is a little wealthier, it is more particular.
"Women just have good craftsmanship! A lot of things still can't be done. Su Ling sighed. Maybe there are few women here who will complain, but she just feels a little unbearable! After all, in her previous life, the place where she lived was equal between men and women!
It is not said whether it is really equal, but it is equal on the whole, and it is much better than here. There, women can also have a variety of jobs to do, and it is easy to support themselves as long as they work hard. Only when you have an income and don't need others to support you can you have enough dignity!
In this world, the main reason why women's places are low is because they always have to rely on men to support them! Therefore, even if a man does whatever he wants, a woman can only tolerate it, because after leaving a man, it is difficult to live alone!
If you don't have money and the ability to make a living, you naturally have no confidence.
"Yes! Isn't that the case with women? The Yan family's grandmother also laughed, "But ah! In a woman's life, the most important thing is to marry a good family and raise a good son, and there will be nothing to worry about in her life. What a capable woman! It may not be a happy life! ”
Su Ling is noncommittal about this, although happiness is very important, but no one stipulates that a capable woman will not be happy!
Or if she has money in her hand, she can feel safe. Even if you are unhappy, you can still rewrite your own destiny! Otherwise, no matter how miserable the life is, you can only accept your fate.
It didn't take long for the Yan family's grandmother to cut four clothes for Zhou Ting. Children's clothes don't use much fabric.
"Do you want to make shoes too?" Grandma Yan glanced at Zhou Ting's shoes, the soles of the shoes had been worn out quickly, and there were already a few holes in the face, and the thumbs of the big feet were exposed.
Su Ling glanced at Zhou Ting's shoes and also found this problem, she forgot to pay attention to the shoes. And Zhou Ting doesn't even have socks, so she really has to buy everything.
"But I won't take the soles of my shoes!" Su Ling was a little worried. Nowadays, many people make their own shoes, so no one makes shoes to sell! You can also go to the tailor's shop to make it to order, or you should still go to the town.
"If you're in a hurry, don't go to town and find a tailor to make it! I can help, but my eyes! It's not very easy to make, so the sole is a little slow. Grandma Yan said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'll take Xiaoting to the town!" Su Ling took out some copper coins from her purse, thanking the Yan family's grandmother for helping to cut the clothes. In the end, people also spent on handwork, and she should also pay, and she shouldn't let people always help in vain.
"It's just a little favor, where do you need to give money! Hurry up and take it back. "The Yan family's grandmother didn't accept it.
"Grandma, just take it! There will be such a thing in the future! I'm going to ask you to help me! If you don't, I'll be embarrassed to come back next time. ”
"You!" The Yan family's grandmother reluctantly accepted the money. "It really doesn't look like a person from a village like us, it used to be everyone's miss, right?"
"What kind of lady is there! Me! The background is also very ordinary, and there is no illustrious family background. Su Ling smiled. She doesn't think her cousin is like some kind of lady! Although this body is the daughter of Xiangmen, she is not!
After sitting for a while, Su Ling also took Zhou Ting home. When I returned home, I was busy sewing clothes for Zhou Ting. Although you don't need to do all four of your body at once, you have to make one first for Zhou Ting to change into. Zhou Ting always dresses like this, and it's not good to wear tatters.
And the tattered clothes are not warm, although it is summer, but in the morning and evening it will be sometimes cold, always wear a little warmer, at a young age, if it is frostbite, it is not good.
Clothes that have already been cut are sewn very quickly. I didn't embroider it carefully.
Knowing that there are new clothes to wear, Zhou Ting has always been very happy.
"If only my brother could wear new clothes." Zhou Ting sighed.
"You! Don't worry too much about your brother. Su Ling pinched her little face. But I was also a little worried in my heart, the uncles and aunts of the Zhou family were not good people, and I was afraid that they would still be bad to Zhou Chen. But how can she help Zhou Chen?
Zhou Ting was taken away, and she could take good care of it, but she couldn't always take care of the Zhou family's affairs!
