Chapter 7 Learning to Make Clothes
Aunt Liu helped move all the things she bought to the yard and then went back to make lunch. Before leaving, she said that she would come to teach me how to make clothes in the afternoon.After seeing off Aunt Liu, she began to sort out the things she bought, put a few pieces of cloth and cotton in the cabinet, and put rice, noodles, mung beans, salt, vinegar and pork in the kitchen.

Close the door, put the three chickens in the yard to let them find food for themselves, and let Tuantuan help watch over it. When Tuantuan heard that he was so excited to watch the little chickens, he ran around the yard with the chickens, Tuantuan, who was happy watching the game, told him not to fall down, and went into the kitchen to cook.

Wash the two catties of fat meat I bought, cut it into small pieces, put a small amount of water in the pot, then put the fat meat in and turn it carefully. When the water is exhausted, the oil will come out. Put some salt in the stall, and put the oil in it, so it can be preserved for a long time.

Put the remaining oil residue in a bowl, cook the rice you just bought into porridge, then chop some lard residue and put it in the porridge, add a little salt, and a pot of fragrant porridge is ready After filling two bowls, they ate the first meal of white rice with pickles and tuantuan. Even the three little chickens ate a lot of rice grains that fell to the ground.

After eating, I started to teach Tuan Tuan how to count. Education should start from the baby. I decided to teach Tuan Tuan how to count from today.After teaching a few counts, he found that Tuantuan in his arms was still, and after a closer look, he found that Tuantuan had already fallen asleep.Smiling helplessly, she carried him into the house.

After settling down, he took out the string he bought from Jishang and started working.When I was in college, knotting was popular for a while. At that time, as long as there were no classes, people in our dormitory would take out a lot of colorful strings to tie various beautiful knots, including Chinese knots, concentric knots, and group brocade knots. There are all kinds of knots, such as , Panchang knot, auspicious knot, Xin knot, Jizi knot, fish knot, bat knot, money knot and so on.The thread I bought on the street this time has two colors of red and yellow. I plan to use the red thread to tie Chinese knots, concentric knots, group brocade knots, pan-length knots and auspicious knots, and yellow thread to tie auspicious knots, Xin Knot, fish knot, tie them together to form the meaning of "Auspiciousness is more than enough", and then tie the bat knot and money knot together to form the meaning of "Fu is in front of you". These knots have special meanings and should be It sells well.

Sitting on the edge of the kang, flipping ten fingers, but after a while, I shot a dozen or so. Go to the yard to see the three little chickens, and move their stiff necks.This look really makes people frown, it takes so much effort, these three little chicks are pulling poop everywhere o(╯□╰)o.It was very troublesome to clean up, so I thought about building a chicken coop.

Just thinking about what to do, Aunt Liu called the door and welcomed Aunt Liu in. Behind her was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with two round buns and a dustpan for sewing in her hand. Luo followed behind Aunt Liu.Seeing me looking at her, she showed me a big smile, opened her mouth and called, "Sister Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!" Then she stepped forward and pulled my sleeves crookedly. looked at me.

Guess this should be the second daughter of Aunt Liu's family, she looks like a lively and lovely girl, and she should also know Li Yu.Touching her head, she laughed and joked, "You girl doesn't come to play with me anymore, did you get something fun to play at home by yourself?"

Er Ya stuck out her tongue and complained to me: "What's the fun? I was detained by my mother to learn sewing at home. She wouldn't let me out. If it wasn't for Sister Yu, you would have to learn sewing too. I wouldn't even You can’t even leave the house!” After speaking, she still pouted to express her dissatisfaction.

After hearing her complaint, Aunt Liu cast a sideways glance at her reproachfully, then turned to me and said, "Have you eaten yet? Where did Tuantuan go?"

"I've eaten, hehe, Tuantuan may be tired from playing in the morning, and she is falling asleep now."

"Hehe, it's good if he's asleep, I'm here to teach you how to make clothes."

"Hey, I know how to mend. I haven't done any tailoring of clothes. My mother used to do it, and I was just helping out. This time, I have to learn from my aunt." Actually, I didn't even do it. I did...

Er Ya replied from the side, "Sister Yu, don't worry, my mother's cutting and sewing are very good, I guarantee that the clothes you learn to make will be beautiful and strong."

Aunt Liu also said: "It's actually not difficult to make clothes. The difficult thing is embroidery, which requires practice. For example, if you want to make cotton clothes for Tuantuan, you can learn it in two days. I can only teach you a little about embroidery." Ordinary acupuncture, you can practice this slowly, people like us just show a handkerchief purse or something, that's enough."

I also feel that I am not suitable for show work. I just don’t have the patience. I haven’t even embroidered a complete cross-stitch before, let alone this embroidery.I just need to know how to make some simple pairs. When the conditions are better in the future, I can buy and wear them.But I won't talk to Aunt Liu about this, lest Aunt Liu think I'm not frugal.

"Aunt Liu, you are right, what you taught is enough for me."

"Well, bring the cloth you bought this morning, and I'll teach you how to cut it according to the size of the ball."

The next one and a half hours passed under the guidance of Aunt Liu, maybe this body was better before, maybe it was because of our high understanding (hey, I boast myself), anyway, after this one and a half hours passed, I can also make A well-formed little dress.

Seeing that it was getting late, Aunt Liu said goodbye and went home to cook. Before leaving, I told Aunt Liu that I wanted to make a chicken coop. Aunt Liu promised to ask Uncle Liu to help me get one tomorrow afternoon, and thanked Aunt Liu again and again. He grabbed a handful of the candy he bought today and gave it to Er Ya, happily sending the mother and daughter away.

When I went back to the house, I saw that Tuantuan didn't intend to wake up yet, and there was still porridge left in the pot, so I didn't rush to cook, so I picked up the half-made gown and continued to cook.Soon the gown was ready, although the stitches were not very thin, but overall it was okay.I picked it up and looked at it. I sewed two small pockets on both sides, where I can put some candy for Tuantuan, and I showed a simple sunflower with colored thread on the chest.I took the little gown to me and kissed it~ Dang Dang Dang Dang~ The first dress in my life was completed in such a gorgeous way. (The author complained: Where is it gorgeous, it is a defective product... Sister Yu is angry: What are you talking about? Shoot it away~)

Making clothes is also addictive. Put the gown away, and start sewing with the trousers that Aunt Liu has cut out, stitch by stitch as close as possible.After cooking for a while, Tuantuan woke up, washed his face, fried a vegetable and ate the hot porridge.

After eating, I took Tuan Tuan to feed the chickens, and after playing for a while, it was completely dark. In fact, it is only about six o'clock now.I have to sigh again, the life without electricity, TV, and computer is really hard!But today I don’t have to go to bed so early, I took out the candle I bought in the morning and lit it, sat on the kang and continued making clothes.

Tuantuan was very curious about my making clothes, crawled up beside me with his cockroach, tilted his head and asked, "Sister~ what are you doing?"

Touching Tuantuan's little head, he said in a seductive tone: "Sister is making clothes for Tuantuan~ Tuantuan will have new clothes to wear when they are done~ Tuantuan is playing around obediently, and it will be ready soon. "

Tuantuan blinked his big eyes, nodded obediently and sat on the side playing with the doll I made for him.The trousers were ready quickly, and a sunflower was still repaired at the knee.Bite off the thread, shake off the clothes and take a closer look, very good!There is no opening! !
Greet Tuantuan to come over and put on new clothes for him.Tuantuan, who was wearing the new clothes, was obviously very happy, hugged me and kept laughing, chattering, "Tuantuan has new clothes, sister~ sister~ Does Tuantuan look good?"

Kissing the little face gave Tuantuan an affirmative answer, "Looks good, our Tuantuan is the best!" It made Tuantuan laugh non-stop, coaxed Tuantuan to play for a while and then fell asleep. After all, we have to get up early tomorrow to go up the mountain!

A good night's sleep. I got up early in the morning. It was a bit difficult to see the sleeping Tuan Tuan. I couldn't take Tuan Tuan with me when I went up the mountain. It was inconvenient to hold Tuan Tuan, but I was worried about leaving Tuan Tuan at home.After much deliberation, I can only ask Aunt Liu to take care of it.

Wake up Tuantuan and dress him in the sunflower suit made yesterday.After breakfast, I told him that I was going to go up the mountain today, and I left him at Aunt Liu's house for a day, and asked him to wait for me to come back obediently.After hearing this, Tuantuan pouted and looked at me but didn't speak, sighed helplessly, hugged Tuantuan in his arms and kissed me.

"Tuantuan, my sister won't want you, you have to trust my sister, you are my sister's dearest person in this world!" Although I felt that he might not understand what I said to Tuantuan, but I couldn't help but tell him, maybe Say it to yourself too!After coming to this world, it's not that I won't feel uneasy, but I just hide this uneasiness deeply.

Perhaps sensing my uneasiness, Tuantuan buried her small body in my arms, and tightly grasped my skirt. "Sister~ Tuantuan, be good, wait for sister, you will be good."

Hugging Tuan Tuan tightly in his arms, he took a deep breath, I still have Tuan Tuan, I still have relatives in this world, I want to live a good life with Tuan Tuan in the future!
"En, Tuantuan is the most obedient, sister will be back soon, and will bring back delicious dishes for Tuantuan." He dug out Tuantuan's small face and pinched his nose to promise Tuantuan.

He grabbed a few pieces of candy and put them in Tuantuan's pocket, picked him up and walked to Aunt Liu's house next door.Aunt Liu readily agreed to help take care of Tuantuan, and also told me to be careful when going up the mountain.In the end, I told Tuantuan to be obedient, and went home to prepare the things to bring up the mountain.Put the dagger I found in the utility room into the basket, and wait for sister-in-law Cui to come to me while making a net.
