Chapter 9 Pretending

Gan Li waited for twenty minutes, but Aunt Zhao didn't come back for a long time.

She kept looking at the time and asked anxiously, "Yadan, when will your grandma come back?" Auntie has a meeting in the afternoon, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Grandma didn't come back, and she was in harmony with Xu Jiaren's heart.

If she came back, wouldn't what she just said be going to be a goof?

"Auntie, what are you waiting for?" Xu Jiaren pretended not to know and asked.

Gan Li explained: "I'm waiting for your grandma to measure the size, you have to measure the size to make clothes, otherwise you can't do it." ”

Xu Jiaren nodded, and suddenly asked, "Is it just to take a rope and weigh it on your body?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the dog lying on the bed suddenly despised it: "Pretend!" ”

Xu Jiacai ignored someone's complaints.

If she doesn't pretend now, I'm afraid she will have to wear it every minute when she turns around.

Gan Li was amused and said, "That's not a rope, that's called a tape measure." ”

While speaking, Gan Li took out a tape measure from the drawer, opened it and pointed to the scale on it, and said patiently: "Oh, you see that there are numbers on it, and you have to write down these numbers to make clothes." ”

Qiang Qiang came over and took the tape measure from Gan Li's hand, and accused him unhappily: "Mom, Xu Jiaren didn't go to school again, what are you telling her about numbers?" ”

"Mom just told the girl what this ruler is all about."

Gan Li felt that her son's reaction was very inexplicable.

"If you say this, it will make Xu Jiaren feel uncomfortable! Anyway, you are not allowed to say it. ”

With a calm face, Qiang Qiang snatched the tape measure from his mother's hand and threw it into the drawer.

Gan Li was stunned, and for the first time found out that her son had such a delicate mind at a young age.

Moreover, my son is really guarding the little girl who is on the right door.

"Okay, mom did something wrong." Gan Li smiled and apologized.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Gan Li was really in a hurry to leave.

She was at a loss, and the afternoon meeting was about the precautions and procedures for receiving foreign guests tomorrow, and she had to go.

But now the only hope that can help her make a dress has been nowhere to be seen.

"Auntie, I'll help you measure the size, and I'll hand it over to grandma when I get back!" Xu Jiaren saw that the timing was about the same, and opened her mouth to suggest.

"This ...... Will it work? Gan Li hesitated.

"Absolutely. You can rest assured. ”

Xu Jiaren tugged at the cuffs of the kid standing beside her: "Brother Qiangqiang, you go get the rope...... Oh, tape measure, help Auntie measure it. ”

"But I don't know how to measure it." Qiang Qiang said honestly.

"It's okay, I've seen how grandma measures it, I'll help you." Xu Jiaren said lightly.

Qiang Qiang was obedient, took the tape measure and began to measure according to Xu Jiaren's command.

While measuring, I wrote down a string of numbers with the help of my mother.

Gan Li came out of the house, and walked on the road and felt that she was really crazy, and she actually entrusted the matter of measuring the size to the two children.

After the meeting in the afternoon, she must go and match the size with Aunt Zhao again.

Moreover, she also thought about it, the child's words can't be taken too seriously, in case the little girl brags.

After the meeting in the afternoon, it is safer to go to your classmates to borrow a set of skirts.

……

Xu Jiaren got the size of Qiangqiang's mother's clothes, got the fabric, and everything was available, so she immediately started preparing to start making clothes.

"You have scissors at home, right? It's very large, the kind of cut-cloth. Xu Jiaren asked.

She remembers that in the 80s, everyone would have a pair of cloth scissors with a black handle.

Qiang Qiang thought about it, turned around and opened a drawer, took out scissors, and asked, "Do you want a ruler?" ”

"Bring it, and the chalk."

"Well, everything you want is here."

Qiang Qiang put all the "tools" in his sewing machine on the bed and asked, "Do you want me to help you get it?" ”

"What are you doing with it? I'm going to use it now. ”

Xu Jiaren saw that the tools were basically complete, and tiptoed to get the stacked piece of navy blue tweed.

Who knew that she overestimated her current strength too much, and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Qiang Qiang immediately helped Xu Jiaren up and said, "I'll help you take it to your house." How do you move it when it's so heavy? ”

"You don't have to take my house!"

Xu Jiaren got up from the ground, this time she simply dragged the fabric in front of her, spread out the fabric, picked up the ruler and began to measure.

After determining the position, Xu Jiaren picked up the cloth scissors with her small hands and skillfully cut the fabric.

Qiang Qiang, who was standing next to him, turned pale and widened his eyes at the moment when Xu Jiaren cut the fabric, and asked, "Xu Jiaren...... You...... You cut your mother's fabric. ”

Although he was young, he knew how valuable the fabric was.

I heard that this material can be as high as a month's salary of my father.

Xu Jiaren didn't have time to pay attention to the kid next to him now, and all his spirit was in his hands.

After about half an hour, the skirt was all cut.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the skirt that already had a "rudimentary" shape on the bed, and smiled with satisfaction.

If she'd been a little older, it would have been a matter of ten minutes or so to cut them.

But now she is only 4 years old, and she has a hard time holding scissors in her hands, and she can do it in half an hour, and Xu Jiaren herself is very satisfied.

"Don't be in a hurry to laugh yet, the things on this bed still have to be sewn together!"

The dog continued to play with its poisonous tongue, "You look like you can't use a sewing machine now." ”

Xu Jiaren didn't bother to pay attention to the dog, she turned her head and said, "I'll go and see if grandma has come back." ”

"Xu ...... Xu Jiaren. When Mom comes back, you'll say I cut them off, you know? Qiang Qiang's face turned pale and replied.

Xu Jiaren was stunned, looked at the pieces of fabric on the bed again, and suddenly understood.

Looks like the kid thought she had cut the fabric.

Yes, you know how to take responsibility when you are so old?

"You don't have to worry."

Xu Jiaren stood on tiptoe and patted Qiangqiang's shoulder, and comforted in a crisp and immature voice: "I learned from my grandmother." Your mother's skirt must be fine, got it?. ”

Qiang Qiang nodded suspiciously, he really didn't believe that the fabric that had been cut into pieces could be made into a skirt, but for some reason, the bright and firm eyes of this little dot in front of him made him feel inexplicably at ease.

Xu Jiaren saw that Qiangqiang's face had recovered its blood, so she ran out quickly.

Aunt Zhao had just entered the door and was about to look for her grandson. Female, Xu Jiaren rushed in in a hurry.

"Oh, there's a wolf chasing you behind you? What to run? Aunt Zhao looked at the little figure running in out of breath and smiled helplessly.

"Grandma, Qiangqiang's mother said that she wanted to ask you for a favor, is it okay?" Xu Jiaren gasped and said.

Aunt Zhao was stunned, and she was suspicious: She is a person who works in a good unit, what do you need help from an old lady like her?

However, Aunt Zhao still nodded and asked, "What's so busy?" ”

"Oh - just sew something with a sewing machine." Xu Jiaren said a little nervously.

Aunt Zhao was relieved when she heard this: "That's no problem." You let her bring it! ”

I'm afraid she can't help with other helps, but it's no problem to help sew something.
