Zhao Meixiang saw at a glance that the bib on Yingbao's body was newly made by her sister-in-law. It was made of several colors of floral cloth, with ruched lace on the edge, and a bright red apple embroidered on the chest.
"Sister-in-law, your hands are so skillful, this bib is so beautifully made."
Most of the bibs made for children are made from old clothes. If there is new cloth, they will be used to make new clothes. How can they be willing to make bibs for children
"It's made from leftovers from previous clothes, and there are two more in the house, let Yingbao wear them differently."
Dong Jiahui went back to the house and showed the other two pieces to Zhao Meixiang. Zhao Meixiang praised them again when she saw them.
"This one has sleeves, so you won't be afraid of dirty clothes when you put it on. Sister-in-law, what a clever idea you have. I heard that you also made the red wedding dress you wore yesterday?"
Dong Jiahui nodded and smiled subtly, "It's not a matter of dexterity, it's just that I can make a few clothes. I still have a few pieces of floral cloth. I'll measure your size later and make one for you."
Zhao Meixiang waved her hands again and again, "No need, no need, I'm just saying, I'm just envious of my sister-in-law's skills."
She really didn't mean anything else, sister-in-law made it look like she was begging for new clothes on purpose.
At this time, Zheng Yuefang also walked over holding the stone.
"It's pretty good, sister-in-law, do you have any more fabric? Make us stones too."
The little boy has a solid skin, and she often goes to the field with stones, her clothes are always dirty, and it takes a long time to wash them every day. It would be easier to wear such a bib.
"My cloth is all made of red flowers. Boys don't wear it well. If you have cloth, give it to me. I'll make two pieces for the stone."
Dong Jiahui tactfully refused. Before she got married, she made two clothes for Heidan Yingbao and one for Shitou. The Zhao family has only three children. There is no need to look stingy for a small dress, but you can do it once. Forget it, is it possible that Shitou's clothes will be made for nothing in the future
It’s okay to do it for Yingbao Heidan, who made herself a stepmother, she married Zhao Donglin, then Yingbao Heidan is her own child, it should be spent money and effort, but Shitou is not, there are relatives Mom, do you need to use yourself as an uncle to trouble you
It is true that the relationship between sisters and sisters should be good, but Dong Jiahui has no intention of being a good person. Some things still need to be principled. Kind of a good thing.
Besides, when getting along with others, it is easy to raise the other's heart if you give too much favor to each other.
Zheng Yuefen didn't expect Dong Jiahui to refuse at all. She thought to herself, what a big deal, isn't it just a few pieces of rags, she made several pieces for Yingbao, but why did she say no when she got to the stone? I don't want to do it for my own stone.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yuefen's face turned pale.
"Sister-in-law, it's just a bib. Children don't care about the color and pattern, just wear some."
What Zheng Yuefen said is also true, how can I be so picky these days, boys wear sister's clothes a lot, but Dong Jiahui is like this, if she is willing to give, she is willing to give, if she is not willing, she can do whatever others want It doesn't make sense, and she is a soft-spoken person, so it's fine if you talk nicely, but it's absolutely not okay to talk hard to her and show off.
"Next time, I used up all the rags I saved up today."
Zheng Yuefen opened her mouth, and was about to say, didn't you just say you wanted to make clothes for Mei Xiang, and you said you had a few pieces of floral cloth, why did you run out of cloth at Shitou
But did she not open her mouth, so that people would know that she just eavesdropped
Standing in the middle, Zhao Meixiang watched the new sister-in-law face-to-face with the second sister-in-law the next day after passing through the door. She really looked at this new sister-in-law with admiration.
I didn't expect that she looks soft and weak, but she has such a tough temper!
While speaking, Zhao Donglin also pushed his bicycle into the yard.
Zhang Qiaoer saw her son coming in from the kitchen, and shouted to the daughter-in-law who was talking in the yard, "Donglin is back, let's eat."
The food was put on the table, and the chicken, pork, fish, and shrimp were all leftovers from the day before yesterday's work.
These dishes are not left over from the dinner table, the dishes on the table have long since been exhausted, and the dishes are almost licked.
These extra dishes are specially prepared by the person in charge to prevent not having enough. After the wedding banquet, when Zhao Meixia came home, Zhang Qiaoer brought some for her, and the rest was divided among the neighbors, and the rest was Eat at home.
Dong Jiahui looked at the rest of the dishes, and reheated them tonight and it's almost done.
"Today's meal is cooked by Jiahui, let's all taste how it tastes."
Zhang Qiaoer and Zhao Changgui moved their chopsticks first, and then the others followed. This is the Zhao family's rule.
Zhao Donglin's chopsticks went to the plate of scrambled eggs with leeks first, he had to applaud his wife's food first, he hadn't eaten the meal cooked by his wife yet.
The firewood in the big rice pot in the farmhouse is very hot, and the vegetables are almost cooked after a few stir-fries.
Sometimes the same ingredients, different people make different tastes, I don't know if Dong Jiahui is talented in cooking or she is more willing to use oil than Zhang Qiaoer, anyway, the taste of her fried food is not bad.
"Well, it tastes good and goes well with rice."
Zhao Donglin felt that he could eat three bowls of rice with just this plate of scrambled eggs with leeks.
The green vegetables tasted good too. When Dong Jiahui was cooking, she deliberately picked out a chopstick of meat oil. There were a few mushrooms growing on the wood in the corner. Dong Jiahui also picked them and fried them together with the green vegetables.
Zhang Qiaoer's eyes lit up after taking a bite. She is not good at cooking. She belongs to the kind that is cooked but does not require the taste. In the past, the two daughters-in-law, Wang Mei did not like to cook, and the food made by the second daughter-in-law was similar to pig food. It seems that there is always a smell of rotten dishcloth in the food. I didn't expect the new wife to cook so well.
"No wonder your sisters-in-law kept praising your delicious cooking when I went to your house to see your relatives. The taste is different from others."
When the mother-in-law praised Dong Jiahui, she lowered her head and smiled in embarrassment, and said modestly, "They are all wangpo selling melons, and I cook randomly, but it's not bad."
Zhang Qiaoer smiled and said, "Don't be modest, I'm telling the truth. I didn't expect that I can enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law in this life. I will leave our family's meals to you. I don't think you can do it with strength. I'm pretty good at fine work."
This was purely Zhang Qiaoer's misunderstanding. Seeing Jiahui's gentle and thin appearance, she thought she was weak. In fact, Jiahui just had a small frame and looked weak.
Dong Jiahui didn't think too much about it, thinking that her mother-in-law was just arranging errands for her, so she just nodded in response.
"Okay, as long as Mom likes to eat, I will cook all the meals at home in the future."
Zhang Qiaoer was overjoyed to hear this sweet mouth, Zhao Donglin looked at his daughter-in-law calmly and saw that she was smiling and her eyes were shining, obviously she was in a good mood.
Seeing that Jiahui and his mother got along well, Zhao Donglin also felt relieved. Zhang Qiaoer didn't want him to marry Jiahui before. Although he changed his mind later, he was actually not sure that the two could get along well. Seeing Jiahui's performance today , I feel that I don't need to worry so much.
Zheng Yuefen curled her lips, secretly scolding Dong Jiahui for being a sycophant, but also felt that her mother-in-law was partial.
What is "finally able to enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law", is it possible that Dong Jiahui's mother-in-law did not expect her own blessing before entering the door
Isn't it just that she can cook, but she is a divorced woman who can't give birth to children, and she will be a stepmother when she enters the door, which is really embarrassing.
Thinking about it, Zheng Yuefen took the scrambled eggs with chopsticks and chives and put them in the black egg bowl.
"Heidan, come, often your mother cooks, see if it suits your taste?"
Heidan, who was eating the chicken bone, kept moving in his mouth, and pulled the vegetable steak that Zheng Yuefen was holding aside.
"Hey, why don't you eat it? This is your mother's fried dish. Your father and grandma say it's delicious. You should try it."
Dong Jiahui frowned slightly. If she hadn't been sensitive, Zheng Yuefen's words would have been too deliberate.
"If you don't eat the black egg, you don't eat it. Children must love meat. He picks what he likes."
Dong Jiahui saw that Zhao Donglin and Zhang Qiaoer looked unattractive, she didn't want to cause any unhappiness on the second day of their marriage, black eggs were innocent disasters, and Zheng Yuefen, who deliberately provoked them, was the one to blame.
"Okay, eat well. You don't care about Heidan's usual meals, so why are you talking so much today?"
Living in the same courtyard, how can Zhang Qiaoer not understand this second daughter-in-law? Fortunately, I am not an evil mother-in-law, otherwise, with the conduct of the second daughter-in-law, my mother-in-law will grind her to death.
"Hurry up and eat, if you don't eat, feed the stone."
Dong Jiahui prepared steamed eggs for the children. Yingbao was still young and couldn't eat the meals of these adults. As for the stone, although it was not too small, she still couldn't eat it by herself. Zheng Yuefen ate it by herself before feeding the stone.
After lunch was messy, Zhao Meixiang was in charge of washing the pots and bowls. After Dong Jiahui fed Yingbao, she saw Yingbao's eyelids drooping and knew that she was going to sleep.
"Yingbao sleeps for two hours every afternoon, so she should be sleepy now."
Dong Jiahui nodded, took off Yingbao's bib dripping with vegetable soup, hugged Yingbao into her arms, leaned her head on her shoulder, and patted her back into the room.
"I think this sister-in-law is pretty good. She made some bibs for Ying Bao in the morning."
It still looks so beautiful, if you don't really love it, you can't do it like this.
"It's really good. Apart from being divorced, I'm quite satisfied with her."
After Zhao Meixiang heard this sentence, she hurriedly checked to see if there was anyone outside the window.
"Mom, you can't let your eldest brother and sister-in-law hear this, they shouldn't be happy."
"Can I not know? You don't look at your brother like that, the eyes are just like those on your daughter-in-law."
"They're newly married. It's normal for them to have a better relationship."
"You are a big girl, can you say these words?"
"Oh mom, how old am I, can you stop treating me like a child?"
When her sister got married before, her mother would always talk to her sister about the way of getting along with each other in front of her. She asked her a little about it, can she not understand
"I'll tell you when the new year is over. I was married to your father when I was your age."
Zhao Meixiang, who was still very talkative just now, blushed when her mother said that she would tell her about her.
"I'm not in a hurry, I think it's fine to stay at home."
"Hmph, if you don't stay in a female university, if you stay or stay, you will become enemies. This will be embarrassing. If you don't come to see you in two years, you should blame me."
"Mom, you have wronged me. When did I blame you? If you are willing to keep me, then I will never marry for the rest of my life. "
Their family is quite good, the parents never favor sons over daughters, and the family conditions are good, at least she has never been hungry.
Dong Jiahui entered the room with Yingbao in her arms, and Zhao Donglin was writing materials on the desk.
"Sleeping?"
"Um."
Zhao Donglin got up and wanted to take Yingbao, but Yingbao groaned twice as soon as he touched Yingbao, and still hugged Dong Jiahui tightly and refused to let go.
Zhao Donglin raised his hand in embarrassment, Dong Jiahui said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll just hug her, you move the quilt, and I'll put her down when she's fast asleep."
After the sheets were washed in the morning, Dong Jiahui had already put on a new pair, the old-fashioned pink, blue and green stripes.
Zhao Donglin responded, and moved the folded quilt into the bed, leaving an empty piece.
Dong Jiahui patted Yingbao on the back, looked down to see that she was sleeping very deeply, then bent down and put her on the bed, she did not leave immediately after putting it down, and continued to pat Yingbao, and then covered her when she was stable Quilt.
Zhao Donglin watched Dong Jiahui's series of actions, and her patience with Yingbao was unfailing, which filled him with gratitude and respect.
"you are working?"
"What time do you go to the village committee in the afternoon?"
"Two o'clock."
"Then do you want to rest at noon?"
"No, I don't have the habit of taking a lunch break. If you are tired, you can sleep with Yingbao."
Dong Jiahui shook her head, "No, I haven't done much work all day, so I don't need to rest."
Compared with those who work in the field at home, she is just cooking and raising a child, which is easy enough.
"You haven't been idle since you woke up in the morning. Don't be embarrassed to take a rest when you're tired. We're all a family. We've been together for a long time. There's no need to care so much."
Dong Jiahui nodded with a smile. She also understood what Zhao Donglin said. If she was really tired, she would definitely rest, but she was indeed not tired. She would be told to lie down, so there was no need to make trouble for nothing.
"Then you go to work, I'll go out and talk to Meixiang for a while."
Zhao Donglin wanted to say that she didn't need to go out, it would be fine for her to stay in the house, but seeing Dong Jiahui holding a tape measure in her hand and going to measure Zhao Meixiang, she didn't say anything.
"Sister-in-law, you really don't need to make clothes for me, I just mentioned it casually."
"It's okay, I'm just measuring it. I don't know when to do it."
After Zhao Meixiang had her body measured, she went to measure Zhang Qiaoer's body as well.
"I don't have a suitable cloth right now. I'll make it for Mom when I go to town next time and tear the cloth."
"Hey, tell me, I don't lack clothes, so I don't need to worry about that."
"The Chinese New Year is two months away. I must make new clothes for the Chinese New Year. This time, I will show my mother my craftsmanship."
"I know you have a good handicraft. I heard that you used to make money with this handicraft in your natal family."
"That is, people I know well will come to me to do some work."
Zhao Meixiang is still envious, it is such a great thing to be able to make money with one's own craftsmanship in this day and age, no matter how much you earn, you still have this ability, right
"That's great, sister-in-law, can I learn how to make clothes with you?"
Zhao Meixiang made this request out of concern, and was afraid that her new sister-in-law would not be willing. She thought, she didn't want to compete with her sister-in-law, but just to learn a skill, not to mention how well she could do it, just get by. One day she will really get married, maybe it will be useful
"Okay, you don't have to overwhelm yourself with too many skills, you can learn from me in the future."
