194: Make new clothes
"Boss, how do you sell this cloth?"
"You came just in time, we have reduced the price today, the linen cloth is four cents and one foot, and the cotton cloth is eight cents and one foot, just a little, if you want to buy it as soon as possible, it will be gone if it is late, and our family rarely reduces the price so much."
Xin'er was moved when she heard it, although she had never made clothes, but she could ask if it was not, and the most important thing was that she did think that this cloth was not expensive, and it was okay to buy it back and put it first.
"Well, I want to ask, how much cloth does it take to make a set of clothes that my brother and I wear as adults?"
The little second looked at her with a puzzled look when he heard her ask, as if he didn't expect her to ask like this.
However, seeing that the two of them had a lot of things in the basket, it didn't seem like they just asked but didn't buy, plus the rules of their store, they still told them honestly.
After Xiao Er finished speaking, Xin'er was thinking in her heart about how much cloth they needed to make a set of clothes for each of their brothers and sisters, and it was indeed time for them to make new clothes.
In the end, Xin'er spent 300 wen to buy a bag of fabrics, and bought some coarse cloth and cotton cloth.
This time, the money brought was almost spent, and the two of them did not stay in the county for a long time, and went back with their things.
It was past noon when they returned, and they were carrying almost full baskets, which were slightly noticeable, but fortunately the men only asked a few words and said nothing, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they didn't break the law, they couldn't bear the gossip of those people in the village, and if they knew that they had bought so much cloth, maybe something would come out, and many times it would be best to have less trouble.
In the afternoon, the two of them each sent the fish they kept at home to each family, but in fact, there were not many of them, just the old mansion Feng family and the village chief's house, and they also kept one for themselves.
The next day, the Chinese New Year came, and the family had almost cleaned up before, and the two of them had nothing to do, so they started to clean up the evening meals at noon.
After the New Year, Xin'er went to the old house to find Zhang's help to ask for advice on making clothes.
"Auntie, are you busy, I want to ask you for a favor."
"You say, I'm not busy."
There's nothing to do during the New Year, isn't it just gossiping in the village every day, and she naturally won't refuse when Xin'er comes to her for help.
She has also seen in the past two years that both brothers and sisters are promising people, and they are not sad to live without a father or mother, which just shows their ability.
Besides, even if it was for the New Year's gifts they brought during the Chinese New Year, she would agree to help.
"That's right, my brother and I have a lot of shorter clothes, I can't wear them, I bought some cloth back a few years ago, but I can't make clothes, so I want to ask my aunt to teach me how to make clothes."
Hearing Xin'er say what she meant, the Zhang family suddenly felt a little embarrassed, they were uncles and aunts, and they forgot about it.
But even if he was embarrassed, it was just for that moment, and Zhang quickly spoke: "That's it, no problem, when do you want to learn?" Do it in your house or in ours? ”
"Just today, I didn't bring the cloth here, I don't know if I can invite my aunt to my house."
"Okay, you wait a while, I'll clean up and go with you."
When Zhang's was cleaning up, Xin'er went to see Zheng's, Zheng's body was not good, and he was angry once a year ago, and the doctor said that it didn't take long, so she and Youyi would always come to see her during this time.
After the Zhang family finished cleaning up, he said a word to the Zheng family and followed Xin'er to Ding's house.
The first time Xin'er did it, she took out the coarse cloth, and she bought a lot of coarse cloth, almost two of their brothers and sisters can make two sets of spring clothes by themselves, and there is still some left, and the cotton cloth is less.
Zhang's teaching is very serious, and Xin'er is also learning very seriously, and the two of them seem to be quite harmonious when they teach and learn.
After Zhang finished talking to Xin'er about how to make clothes and some things to pay attention to, Xin'er's heart became much clearer.
Zhang is also a qualified teacher, and he followed Xin'er for a day, and waited until the afternoon to go back to the old house.
When she and Xin'er went to Ding's house, there was no one at home, and when she went back, she saw that Yimu's face was a little unsightly.
"Where have you been? Why did you come back at this time? ”
Kazuki thought that she had gone to the village to gossip with people to come back so late, so her tone was a little bad.
"I went to their house in Youyi, and in the morning Xin'er came to me and asked me to teach her how to make clothes, saying that the clothes at home were too short to wear, so I went to their house with her, what's wrong?"
How could Zhang not hear the tone of her man, she was also a little unhappy, didn't she come back a little late, why was it like this, and then told him what happened in the morning.
Yimu was also stunned when he heard this, even the old man Ding who had just gone out was stunned, and then he blamed himself in his heart, they still ignored the two children, they should have discovered these things earlier, but now it is the two children who remind them, and I don't know if they are sad and disappointed.
"It's okay, just ask, you go cook, it's not too early."
After the Zhang family left, Old Man Ding and Yimu talked helplessly.
"Dad, this is our dereliction of duty, we said that we would take care of them, but the reality is that we ignored them, and we didn't even think of these most basic things."
"yes, that's what we didn't do right."
Yes, after all, it is also his own grandson and granddaughter, which Old Man Ding blames himself more than Ding Yimu.
……
The next day, Zhang went to help Xin'er make a day's clothes, which Yimu told her before going to bed last night.
In fact, even if he didn't tell her that she would go, she still felt sorry for them at this time, if their mother was still there, it would definitely not be like this.
Zhang's movements are very fast, the set of clothes that are righteous in two days is almost half completed, and the rest of the heart can be done by herself, anyway, the main thing is done, and the rest is to sew the other one, she can do it herself.
Compared with Zhang's, Xin'er is obviously much slower, and her set of clothes is only less than one-third, but fortunately, those are made by herself, and Zhang's almost no involvement.
When the Zhang family finished the righteous set of clothes, Xin'er didn't let her come again, she couldn't always let people help, and she always had to rely on herself in the future.
It took a few more days, Xin'er finally made her own set of clothes, she tried it, she thought it was still good, basically there was not much difference, and suddenly, she had confidence in making clothes.
Youyi's clothes have been tried a long time ago, and now they are just right to wear, and when Zhang made it, he deliberately collected a little edge, and he could put it down when it was short.
Xin'er did the same when she made clothes, and after making her own, she made a coarse cloth dress for Youyi.
When she finishes it, this New Year's month is almost over, and there will be more work at home, and she doesn't have much time to make clothes again, so she can only find time to do a little.
