happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 31 Wool Socks

Aunt Wang is a fast-working old lady. Just three days after Shen Yunfang delivered the cotton and cloth to her, she took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter back to Shen Yunfang with a whole set of padded jackets.

"Try them all to see if they suit you. If they don't suit you, ask your sister-in-law to change them for you." Aunt Wang said while sitting on the kang in the east room of Shen Yunfang's house.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law was not too polite, she pulled the padded jacket and tried to put it on Shen Yunfang.

Shen Yunfang let her manipulate her and changed into new cotton-padded jackets and trousers. There was no mirror in the house, so she stood barefoot on the kang to smear her beauty.

"Sister-in-law, do I dress well?"

"It's the right size, but it's a bit fat. You're too thin." Dashuan's wife pulled her around to look.

Shen Yunfang is just 15 years old this year, she hasn't developed well, and she can't keep up with nutrition, so she looks even thinner.

"It's best not to be fat. It's better to have a little extra. If it's too cold in winter, you can add some clothes inside. Even if you get fatter in the future, you can wear it." Aunt Wang is old-fashioned, and it's better to make clothes bigger. If you don't wear it, others can still pick it up.

Shen Yunfang looked left and right. Originally, she didn't have much expectations for the clothes of this era, but now she looks at the clothes on her body and feels the thickness. It's not bad.

"Very good." I gave a five-star review.

"It's just that the color of this dress is too old, you little girl, how bright it is to wear some colors with flowers." Aunt Wang was not satisfied with Shen Yunfang's navy blue.

When I went to the supply and marketing agency to buy cloth, because I had limited money and tickets, I only bought the fine cotton cloth for the lining, and Shen Yunfang directly took an old clothes and changed it for the outer layer.

At that time, she picked it out at home, and she found that there was also a dark blue coarse cloth at home, which was definitely not her own in terms of size, and probably belonged to Shen Yunfang's old lady before.

In the current situation, there was nothing to be picky about, so she took a small floral dress of her own and made it into a padded jacket, and asked Aunt Wang to change the dark blue dress so that she could wear it outside the padded jacket. Dirt and abrasion resistance.

Shen Yunfang doesn't think it's so beautiful to wear small flowers all over her body, and her blue color will never go out of fashion.

"Oh, mother, look how energetic my sister Yunfang is in this outfit. I think it looks better than flowers." Originally, Dashuan's daughter-in-law didn't like this young girl's eye-catching dress, but now she looks at this The girl wears it, but she doesn't know why everything is pleasing to the eye, but she wears it with such spirit.

"That's right, sister-in-law, I think this look looks good." Shen Yunfang was complacent.A sentence was added later, "It is also resistant to dirt."

The padded jackets of today are not the same as those of later generations. They have to be washed and taken apart again and again, which is troublesome.

"Silly boy, if you don't drill down a tree, how dirty can you be?" Aunt Wang didn't care.

Shen Yunfang didn't say anything, she really wanted to go for a tree trip.

"Come on, Fang, try wearing these cotton shoes. I don't know how big your feet are, so I'll make them for you." Dashuan's daughter-in-law lovingly touched the dark blue upper of the cotton shoes. , then handed it over and said.

"Oh, there are cotton shoes. Sister-in-law, you made them for me. It's so good." Shen Yunfang didn't expect to make cotton shoes at that time.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made it for her directly.

"Well, I see that there is still some cloth left after the clothes have been changed. I thought you probably don't have any comfortable cotton shoes. It doesn't take much trouble, so I made them together. Try the size quickly. If it doesn't work, I will tear it apart. Do it." Dashuan's daughter-in-law said with a smile.

"Your sister-in-law is better at needlework than me. These shoes and these clothes are all made by your sister-in-law." Aunt Wang did not shy away from praising her daughter-in-law, what should be done.

Shen Yunfang was grateful in her heart, even though she didn't know how to make shoes, she still knew the trouble of making shoes by hand at this time, and the soles of the shoes were all made by hand, one stitch at a time.It takes a lot of effort to make a pair of shoes.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Yunfang was grateful in her heart, but she didn't express her gratitude in a long way. She just expressed her heart with a simple sentence. As for the goodness of Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she remembered it in her heart.

She sat on the kang trying on cotton shoes, looked at her bare feet, and hurriedly opened the big mahogany box, thought for a while, and took out two pairs of wool socks from inside.

She twisted the wool she secretly picked into ropes and then wove them. The wool was not bleached when it was washed, so the knitted socks were a little yellowish.

"Yo, these socks are really pretty." Dashuan's daughter-in-law touched the wool cotton socks curiously, and then found something wrong, "Is this wool?" She stared at Shen Yunfang, thinking of these wool socks. The possible source, a look of disbelief.

"What are you arguing about? I'm afraid people don't know what's going on." Aunt Wang quickly scolded her daughter-in-law, looked outside to make sure no one was there, and took a closer look at the socks in her hand.

Shen Yunfang had already discovered that Aunt Wang's family was not so "rule-following" people, otherwise she would not have dared to speak out about this kind of socialism.She chuckled, took a pair of socks and put them on by herself.

"As long as sister-in-law likes it, we just have a pair for each of us." Originally, they were all prepared for myself, but at this time, I didn't feel bad and gave out a pair.

"Oh, you can't do that. My sister-in-law can't wear such precious things well, and besides, how can my sister-in-law want your things?" When Da Shuan's daughter-in-law heard this, the socks in her hand were like hot potatoes, and she hurriedly threw them on the kang.

"Why can't you take it? You and the aunt have been busy for several days because of me. Why don't I express my thanks? Hurry up and don't tear it up with me, hurry up and take it." Shen Yunfang has already put on the cotton shoes, wearing them A new suit is circling on the kang.

"Thank you or not. Besides, your sister-in-law has already used your leftover cloth to make a small coat for the child. That's interesting enough." Aunt Wang also cares about such thick socks, but what should I do? They can't take things, so what's the matter with taking them.

"That's the same, it's my aunt for the children, this is for my sister-in-law, don't be jealous, ma'am, I won't give you anything." Shen Yunfang picked up the socks and stuffed them into Dashuan's daughter-in-law hands, and don't let her let go. "Sister-in-law, don't wear these socks outside, don't worry, no one will know." If people see this, it's hard to explain the origin of the wool, but socks like this, as long as you pay attention, no one else will find out.

"Mother, this..." Dashuan's daughter-in-law didn't know what to do, so she could only look at her mother-in-law.

How could Aunt Wang fail to see that her daughter-in-law was rare? She looked at girl Yunfang. "If I can take it out, I really want to give it. I'm not the one who pretends." Shen Yunfang said with a smile.

Aunt Wang sighed, and said: "Your sister asked you to keep it, so you can keep it. If you have time, make a few more pairs of shoes for your sister, and you will have everything."

"That's right, my aunt is right, I don't know how to make shoes, if I run out of shoes in the future, I will find my sister-in-law." Shen Yunfang joked.

"Hey, okay, my sister-in-law will definitely make something beautiful for you." Dashuan's daughter-in-law touched the socks in her hand curiously.

"Are these shoes okay?" Shen Yunfang stretched out her feet for others to see.

Shen Yunfang's body is thin and small in this era, and so are her feet. According to her own size, it should only be size 35.

And the shoes that Dashuan's wife made for her were also size 37. Her little feet went in, and at least two fingers could go in behind them.

"Oh, it's older. I'll take it back later and I'll change it for you." Dashuan's daughter-in-law saw that she could put two fingers in the back, fearing that the shoes wouldn't fit her feet, so she hurriedly said.

"No need to change it, it's just right. I was thinking about putting thick insoles in it when it snowed. If it's done right, I still can't put it in." Shen Yunfang felt that the size was just right, and she still had some wool left. Make a pair of warm insoles, and she plans to go wandering in the mountains when it snows.

"That's fine, I still have some rags left, and I'll sew a pair of insoles for you when I have time." Dashuan's wife said.

Shen Yunfang looked at Aunt Wang and then at Dashuan's daughter-in-law, and said with a sinister smile, "I still have some wool left, use that for warmth."
