Chapter 10: To Prove Yourself

"You can make clothes too?"

Chen Wen had teary eyes and nodded firmly, "I...... My mom and dad used to make clothes, so can I! ”

Grandma Li wiped away Chen Wen's tears and coaxed her softly, "Okay, okay, we Xiao Wen can do it, don't cry." ”

For Chen Wen's words, Grandma Li didn't pay special attention to it, she didn't believe what kind of clothes a thirteen-year-old child could make, thinking that the child was really unwilling to spend a lot of money and be petty.

Anyway, she made up her mind that she must send the cloth to Li Xiu'er's house tomorrow.

That night, while Chen Wen was asleep with his eyes closed, Grandma Li still measured Chen Wen's size inch by inch with her hands in the dark, and then wrote it down carefully.

Grandma Li lay back, complacent knowing Chen Wen's size, Chen Wen slowly opened her eyes and pouted aggrievedly.

She must prove her craft to her grandmother!

The next morning, Grandma Li got up, Chen Wen got up early, and the cloth placed on the bedtable was gone.

Grandma Li's eyelids jumped, and she secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, Chen Wen was in the courtyard, attacking the cloth.

Chen Wen already had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but also because she stayed in ancient times for a few days, as long as the rooster crowed every day, she would get up, and today when the sky was only slightly bright, Chen Wen was busy working.

Because I didn't have a pen, I took the blackened part of the firewood last night to make a pen, and I was first remembering her measurements and height.

Move another stool, move a plank, write down the place where the scissors will cut for a while, and then spread the cloth evenly on the board.

Because of his short stature and light weight, even if he does it in large quantities, this piece of coarse cloth is used as a top and a skirt as a skirt, and it is no problem at all.

If you have a large amount, even if she is growing her body, she can wear it for a long time.

After calculating, Chen Wen held scissors in his hand and couldn't help but praise, the cloth at this time did not cut corners, and fifteen copper plates could buy such a large piece of cloth, which could make a whole set of clothes.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, cut the cloth into two pieces first.

Even if he hasn't made clothes for so long, Chen Wen has no hands at all, just cutting coarse cloth, scissors are a little difficult to use, I am afraid that the scissors will be broken, so I have to be careful to cut.

But fortunately, the scissors are very face-saving, Chen Wen finished cutting the top very smoothly, and was about to cut off the skirt, when he heard his grandmother exclaim.

"Little Wen ......"

Grandma Li saw the cloth on the ground that was cut round and square, and it was a pity not to look away.

This little girl is really getting started, alas, forget it, anyway, it's just ten copper plates, make it for her, buy another one another day, and I must not let this girl know.

Chen Wen didn't know what his grandmother was thinking at all, and turned around happily with the scissors, "What's wrong?" ”

"Eat...... Breakfast? ”

"I ate it, I made a little bit casually and put it in the cupboard."

Grandma Li sighed, this granddaughter is also too diligent, she gets up early every day and doesn't say anything, since she took her down to the field that day, she has never been to the field, and now she doesn't even need to cook by herself.

If this continues, it's time to think about whether to take back one or two pieces of subleased land and find something for yourself.

"Grandma, do you have any needles and threads?"

No one answered.

Chen Wen turned his head to see that his grandmother was in a daze and didn't hear her speak, and repeated the words again, "Grandma, is there any needle and thread?" ”

"Huh?"

"Is there any needle and thread?"

Grandma Li brushed the cloth on the ground and said, "Yes, I'll get it for you." ”

Although they can't do meticulous work, each family has a needlework to mend clothes.

Soon, Grandma Li gave her a basket of needles and threads, and Chen Wen opened it to see that the colors were very uniform and there were many threads, which was enough to make a dress.
