Chapter 018 Learn to make clothes
The next morning, it was still snowing heavily, and the whole village was quiet, except for the occasional dog barking or two.
The people of the Feng family are all at home in the winter.
The men and children of the Feng family all stayed in the hall, the men chatted about what they knew, and the children played on the ground.
The women of the Feng family all sat on the kang in Feng Zhao's house, happily making cotton clothes, and talking about the gossip in the village.
Feng Jiaojiao also sat next to Feng Zhao, and followed Feng Zhao, who finally agreed to teach her to make clothes, Feng Zhao's learned to make clothes, Feng Zhao's was very careful to teach Feng Jiaojiao, because Feng Jiaojiao learned to make clothes for the first time, so Feng Zhao's first taught Feng Jiaojiao to make single clothes.
Feng Zhao explained to Feng Jiaojiao in detail from measuring the size, cutting, and finally locking the buttonhole nail button, flattening.
Feng Jiaojiao also studied very carefully, asking while learning, asking about the way to cut other clothes, tunics, skirts, etc., Feng Jiaojiao asked a lot of details and ways to make clothes, Feng Zhao is worthy of being a xiaojie from a big family, he has learned a lot of things, he has seen a lot of things, and he will naturally have a lot of things.
"This tunic is the most particular when it is made, and if it is not done well, it is not like four, it must be done well, the collar must have a three-dimensional effect, you look good, and it should be like this when cutting. Feng Zhao said as he gestured to Feng Jiaojiao.
The four pockets of the tunic represent the four virtues of "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and chi", and when cutting and sewing, you must pay attention to the stitches and thread methods, and do not have threads everywhere. Feng Zhao said, gesturing, and practicing with rags for Feng Jiaojiao to see.
"The materials used in the tunics are also very particular. β
......
Feng Zhao taught Feng Jiaojiao all the steps and details of garment-making one by one, and then let Feng Jiaojiao practice sewing with rags.
Heavy snow fell for another two days.
Feng Jiaojiao practiced sewing clothes for two days, and finally after piercing more than 20 needles with her fingers, she was able to sew the needle and thread smoothly and neatly, and the stitches were fine.
Feng Jiaojiao felt that she had been practicing for a long time, but the whole family praised Feng Jiaojiao for her cleverness, Feng Jiaojiao compared the clothes sewn by her mother, second aunt, three sisters-in-law and Feng Zhao's sewing, and saw that in addition to Feng Zhao's at home, her needlework was the best, Feng Jiaojiao's heart was still very accomplished.
After Feng Jiaojiao practiced sewing, she began to measure and cut, and Feng Jiaojiao planned to make the first dress for Feng Zhao.
Because after Feng Jiaojiao's observation in the past few days, Feng Zhao is the only one in the family who puts Feng Jiaojiao first, no matter what Feng Jiaojiao looks like, she is pampered, and the love of the rest of the Feng family is different, although Feng's father and Feng's mother also prefer Feng Jiaojiao, but they will not focus on Feng Jiaojiao in everything, and Feng Zhao's family is based on Feng Jiaojiao in everything.
When Feng Jiaojiao measured Feng Zhao's size, Feng Zhao's happy hands danced for a while, and his eyes were tearful for a while, in short, he was very, very happy!
Feng Zhao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked all day long, happily humming a good communist tune, and the most intuitive thing that reflected her happiness was that night, one person had a big two-fold steamed bun. Lots of pork added to the stew!
According to what Feng Zhao taught and understood, Feng Jiaojiao spent three days making an army green coat for Feng Zhao.
Feng Jiaojiao's clothes are similar to Feng Zhao's original clothes, but if you look closely, it looks even better, the collar is made of a slightly larger round neck, two large pockets, and a little modification, the difference is that the lower section of the pocket is not square, but a little arc, and the inside of the clothes is also sewn with a pocket, according to the modern design, two pleats are collected on the back waist, so that it will not look very bloated like the current clothes, the buttons are the round buttons of the green cloth bag that Feng Jiaojiao found in the space, and Feng Jiaojiao also got the space to iron it with an electric ironγ
Feng Jiaojiao's clothes have been made in her own house for the past few days, and no one is allowed to see them, so the Feng family has never seen the clothes that Feng Jiaojiao made for Feng Zhao's family.
Feng Jiaojiao had never made clothes before, and the Feng family had no expectations except for Feng Zhao's, and they all thought that Feng Jiaojiao was just a child to play, even if she could make clothes in the end, it was not very good.
Therefore, when Feng Jiaojiao took out the finished clothes and put them on Feng Zhao's body, the people of the Feng family couldn't believe their eyes, and they all looked left and right around Feng Zhao's family.
"Wow, it's so good-looking, look at this collar, it's so big, why is it so good-looking?"
"You come and see this, this back waist is closed twice, so that the whole dress looks good. The sister-in-law in the lobby said, Xiao Feng Li was standing behind Feng Zhao, so she saw the difference in her back.
"Look at this pocket, it's so special, this kind of pocket looks even better!" The third cousin said, Feng Chengjun likes the pocket of this dress the most, it is too special, if his own clothes are also such pockets, he will definitely have a special face in front of those stinky boys when he goes out!
The Feng family was gossiping about the specialness of this dress, and even the old man Feng was sitting on the kang and squinting his eyes happily, and Feng Zhao listened to them happily throughout the whole process.
"I'll just say it, count my good baby as the smartest and cleverest. You still don't believe it?" the corners of Feng Zhao's mouth hung high, and his heart was sweeter than eating a few catties of sugar.
"Okay, what should I do, what should I do!" Feng Zhao said as he touched his clothes and walked out.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, tonight, the whole family will drink white gnocchi soup and put two more eggs!" Feng Zhao said to Feng Li as he walked out of the door.
The key to the cabinet where the Feng family put grain and the key to the cellar are only owned by Feng Zhao and Feng Li, which shows Feng Zhao's trust in this daughter-in-law who has few words, a good temper and a kind heart.
Feng Zhao went out in the new clothes made by Feng Jiaojiao, and stepped on two inches of snow and went straight to the house of Wang Lanhua, Feng Zhuzi's daughter-in-law who liked to gossip the most in the village.
"Orchid, is the orchid at home?" Feng Zhao shouted loudly as soon as he stood at the door of Wang Lanhua's house.
"Who's at home?" replied a woman in the room, but no one came out.
Feng Zhao heard that it was Wang Lanhua's voice, the corners of his mouth were crooked, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he walked quickly towards the house.
"Oh, where is Xiaocao too?" Feng Zhao entered the house and saw Feng Qiye's daughter-in-law and Wang Chunhua sitting on the kang, both of them making cotton shoes.
"Sister-in-law, what a rare guest! come, it's warm and warm on the kang!"
Wang Lanhua watched the captain's mother arrive, and quickly moved inside and let the hot kang head out.
"I've been at home for a few days with this heavy snowfall, and now it's finally not snowing, so I came out to breathe, thinking that you were so lively, so I came over and sat down. Feng Zhao said.
Feng Zhao took off his shoes, sat on the kang, pulled his coat with both hands, and patted the two sleeves that were neither snow nor dust.
Only then did Wang Lanhua and Li Xiaocao notice Feng Zhao's gown, the gown was flat and neat, and the pleats were still there, indicating that it was new clothes. Although the two of them looked down on Feng Zhao in their hearts to show off in their new clothes, they said flattering words on their lips.
"Oh, where did you buy this dress? It's so beautiful!" Wang Lanhua said, Wang Lanhua looked at this dress carefully, only to find that it was different from the clothes she usually wears, and if you look closely, it really looks good.
"Yes, it's really good-looking, Orchid, look at this kind of pocket, it's the first time I've seen it, the waist of this dress is also very clever, we can do the same!" Li Xiaocao looked at the gown with a very thin waist, and was very envious, it was the first time he had seen such a dress.
Jiaojiao is bored at home, so she has to learn to make clothes, and after two days of study, she will make this! It's just practicing your hands!" Feng Zhaoyun said modestly, but his happy mouth was raised.
Although Wang Lanhua looked down on Feng Zhao's swagger, she was indeed quite surprised.
"Jiaojiao did it?"
"Yes, the child used to learn when she went to school, I let her study with peace of mind, don't teach her this, this is not just graduated from high school, I have to make a fuss, I will teach her, hey, don't say it, this person is different, after two days of study, he will make clothes, don't care if the style is good or not, you look at this stitch, how smooth! This line, the width is the same, like a sewing machine to make it, our granddaughters-in-law have been making clothes for a few years, and they have not done a good job of Jiaojiao!" Feng Zhao was talking about whitewashing Feng Jiaojiao, and at the same time flipped through his clothes for them to see. There was no pressure to let the granddaughter-in-law of the family be a foil for Feng Jiaojiao.
There is no doubt that it is definitely pro!!
"Is it really Jiaojiao?" Li Xiaocao didn't believe it, who in the village didn't know that Feng Jiaojiao was lazy and greedy, let alone making clothes, it is estimated that she wouldn't even be able to wash clothes, right?
"Of course it's true! I don't believe you're going to come to our house one day to take a look! Jiaojiao is really good at making clothes, and she'll have to make them for her grandfather in a few days." β
"That's great, I'm just going to study. Wang Lanhua believed that it was impossible for Feng Zhao to joke about this kind of thing, and if she exposed it, she would only slap her face.
......
Feng Zhao chatted with Wang Lanhua and Li Xiaocao about the people and things in the village, thinking that the matter was almost over, and the time was not too early, so he left Wang Lanhua's house and rushed to Feng's house, oops, it was too cold!
