Hard work

Chapter 80 Making clothes

Ever since Langzhong Yang said something that day, Lan Hua'er has been thinking about things on the mountain.

When Yang Langzhong discovered Honghuabai's identity, she seemed to feel guilty suddenly.She herself didn't care much about the ancient norms, and she didn't have any elders to urge her.Naturally, you can confidently and boldly act on your own.

But she is living in this place after all, she has no way to really separate herself from this world.Yang Langzhong was really worried about her, that's why he spoke his mind to her.It's enough to change someone else and watch her laugh.It's just these things, she neither dared to talk to Hua Hua, nor dared to talk to Hong Hua in vain.

After finishing the field, she started to get busy, and she also had to prepare new clothes for Gaihua and Goudan, so she had an excuse not to run up the mountain as often.

On the contrary, Yan Dalang has been a little absent-minded recently, and he doesn't seem to care much about Lan Hua'er occasionally going to the fields to help.It's just that when they found out, they drove Lan Hua'er back.

Orchids don't often do work like needlework.I changed some clothes for Gaihua and Goudan before, but in the end it can only be said to be barely enough to wear, and I didn't start from scratch.

Now it is really impossible to go on.

Especially when Goudan came back this time, he said that there are also many children from the town in the private school, and they are relatively good in food and clothing.Lan Hua'er thought that at least Goudan should be dressed neatly, so as not to be bullied.The current baby may be simpler than what Lan Huaer knew in her previous life, but the class thinking at this time is estimated to be much more serious.

Lan Huaer always thinks that Goudan and Gaihua can live better.

The material of the suit Honghuabai gave was too good to be worn by Goudan at all—he only had such a good suit, and even if he really wore it, he would be seen to be false in no time, and would actually be annoyed at that time. People laughed at him, and if he said that he didn't know where to find a suit, he became vain, and his husband would look down on him.

Lan Hua'er had asked Gaihua to take the clothes to the town to sell before, and bought some cloth for some money, thinking about making new clothes for Goudan and Gaihua.

It's just that she has never learned tailoring, and she has cloth in her hand, and she doesn't know how to deal with it.

She could only take the cloth to Aunt Lin's house and let Aunt Lin teach her by hand.

Ever since Tiesheng proposed marriage to Aru, Mrs. Lin's family no longer alienated the Zhao family as before.Aunt Lin was originally a warm-hearted person, and she didn't have a daughter in her family. On the contrary, she was very happy to teach her, and she wanted to keep her. She was so enthusiastic that she felt a little embarrassed.I can only say that I want to go home to cook, and I can be regarded as "escaping" to go home.

Needlework is actually not that difficult.

The difficulty is that when making a new piece of clothing, you must first measure the size, cut it out, and finally make it into a piece.

Orchid is not stupid.It's just that there are only so many fabrics in the house, and she is really afraid that she will waste them if she shakes her hands. She gestures at Goudan and Gaihua for a long time before she really dares to cut them.

Even the scissors belong to Mrs. Lin's family.

Lanhuaer thought that it would not be useful at home, so she was not willing to buy it.

I don’t have such advanced things as charcoal and chalk at home. I can only make visual inspections, and then use some mud or leftover charcoal to draw an outline on the cloth, roughly cut it out, and then make new clothes according to the pattern. .

These are all done by hand.

Although Lan Hua'er was afraid of wasting the fabric, she also thought that she couldn't let Mrs. Lin help forever.She has to learn to do it herself after all.So he trembled and asked Mrs. Lin, and followed the next scissors.Although the cut out looks a bit crooked, but at least it is not very wasteful.

It's just that the women in the village don't waste at all, and can pick out pieces of cloth from the rags to make some small pieces or patches. Lan Hua'er can't learn it for the time being.

She was very relieved that a large piece of cloth was not cut.

As for how to cut and sew ancient clothes, she has no idea.Before tearing down some clothes, only the sleeves and trousers were changed. This time, she had to learn from Mrs. Lin for a long time.

But she was just a child, there were no elders in the family, and no one taught her these things. Now she is learning slowly, which is normal.If it is really self-taught, I am afraid that everyone will come to her Calais to worship the fairy.

The first piece of clothing was sewed and unsewn, and it took five or six days before it was barely shaped.

Aunt Lin also knew that this was Lan Hua'er's first time making clothes, so she comforted her, saying that at her age, it is very good to be able to make such clothes.In the future, when I get older and my hands are strong enough, those who can make shoes with insoles by themselves don't need to go outside to buy them.

Lan Huaer felt the pressure again.

She used to go to Aru's house to learn how to be a female celebrity, but she was weak at that time, and she couldn't even pierce the insoles with a needle, so she could only make some shoe uppers, and then asked Aru or other women who had more People, help me to give the soles and make the shoes.

These, of course, cost money.It's just that people think that the Zhao family's environment is not good, and they refuse to accept copper coins, so they always have to send something over.

In fact, all these things of making clothes and shoes are done by this girl, Lanhuaer.She has no mother or sister-in-law, so things can only fall on her.She didn't even do the homework well, so she really shouldn't go out so often.

After all, she was not born and raised in ancient times, and no one taught her, so many thoughts are still the same as in modern times.That's not right.

In the next few days, as long as Lan Huaer was free, she would run to Mrs. Lin's house.

After all, she has a modern-educated older soul, and her body can be considered dexterous.After finishing the first piece of clothing, I slowly found the feeling, and then when I made the second piece of clothing, it really went much easier.It only took three days to roughly finish the clothes, almost twice as fast as before.

After finishing the summer clothes for Changhua and Goudan, she began to challenge the more complicated winter clothes.

After making the clothes stitch by stitch, Lan Hua'er suddenly felt that these two people were worthy of her body and Zhao Lanhua's relatives.That's how she would wash, cook, and sew clothes for them at home, that's what they call a family.

Gaihua's shoulders are very broad, and Lan Hua'er's three palms are all spread out to match the width of his shoulders.

Goudan has grown a lot taller than before, and her height is exactly the same as hers.In another half a year, maybe he will be even taller than her, and he will no longer be the little kid who used to run after her and often hit his face on her back.

When she was not making clothes, she didn't pay much attention to these changes.

Although Gaihua and Goudan both live in the town now, they can still be seen often.She didn't even realize that she had traveled to this place for a long time, so long that her elder brother had grown into a man, and her younger brother could stop her in front of her and completely protect her behind her.

Lan Hua'er was taken aback for a while.

When she came home at night, she lay on the kang and had a long-lost dream.

In the dream, she was not named Lan Hua'er, and she did not live in the slightly dilapidated thatched house of the Zhao family.In front of her is a computer, playing the American drama she has been watching.Someone called her to chat on the Internet, sent a text message asking her to go out on the weekend, saying that she would introduce a handsome guy to her.Her parents called her and asked her if she wanted to go home during the May Day holiday.

A very nostalgic dream.

However, in the dream, she had come to her senses and thought: Ah, I am dreaming.

Lan Huaer finally woke up crying.

She just missed it and didn't feel so sad.She didn't even understand why she shed tears in her dream.

Those past lives are over, all she has now is Gaihua and Goudan.

After falling asleep again in the middle of the night, Lan Huaer dreamed about that huge dog again.

This time Gouzi didn't look at her from a distance like before, but leaned towards her with somewhat sad eyes, and licked the corners of her eyes lightly, as if clumsily trying to lick away her tears .

Lan Hua'er was amused by it, and she stretched out her arms and hugged its neck.

Very warm fur.

After waking up in the morning, Lan Hua'er still remembered the warmth.

However, dreams are just dreams after all.

After finishing all the things at home, she immediately cheered up and went to Mrs. Lin's house to continue learning how to make clothes.

And the soles of shoes, it's time for her to learn.

Mrs. Lin specially dug out a smaller thimble and gave it to Lan Hua'er, asking her to wear her shoes with easy-to-learn soles.

Lan Hua'er didn't appear to be pricked with blood blisters, but the insoles were made crooked and a lot of thread was wasted.

When making clothes before, although I tried my best to remove the wrong places and start over again, but there were still some parts that couldn't be removed and had to be cut off, which wasted a lot of threads.Now it's like this again when putting in the insole, Lan Hua'er can't help feeling a little discouraged.Feel like a loser.

This amount of thread is enough for her to make a set of socks.Lines aren't cheap either.

On the contrary, it was Aunt Lin's sharp mouth that actually comforted her, saying:
"You've never done these things before, and it's good now. It's a pity that no one teaches you. You can always catch up if you study hard in the future. You are very good at tea and dinner, and you are better than those lazy ones. If you learn well in the future, you won’t lose the face of Aozi Village.”

Lan Hua'er was stunned.

I feel that if I haven't learned these things well, the big deal is that I will lose the face of my ancestors for eighteen generations.Her surname is Zhao, and the surname of Aozi Village is Xu, so it's not her turn to disgrace Aozi Village.

She didn't know that everyone thought she would follow Honghuabai in the future, but she just thought that Mrs. Lin probably thought she would marry out, and when she left Aozi Village, people would see her as a member of Aozi Village, so it would be embarrassing if she The face of Diaozi Village.

　_(:з」∠)_, Did everyone go out to play during the holiday?Are you having fun?
