Chen Xuan was very happy to be able to help Wei Nian. After all, since she came to the Wei family, it was Wei Nian who helped her. Wei Nian was kind and willing to teach her foreign language. Chen Xuan was afraid that she could not repay such a kindness. Now she could help a little. Chen Xuan was very happy for several days.
Wei Jin whispered to Old Lady Wei, "Isn't it just that I went out with my second brother to see her beautiful face?"
Old Mrs. Wei was looking forward to having a grandson. She didn't react much to what Wei Jin said. Instead, she agreed with him. "It's better to be together. If we're not together, there's no way we can have a child."
Wei Jin thought about this and couldn't help but say, "It's been almost two years since we got married, why is there still no movement from her? Isn't it said that country women are easier to bear children?"
"It's not two years. It's only been half a year, not even a year." Old Mrs. Wei was already worried because Chen Xuan hadn't made any movement. After hearing what Wei Jin said, she became even more anxious.
"Mom, don't you think my second brother's wife is not feeling well?"
"You're such a crow, stop talking nonsense." Old Madam Wei scolded her eldest daughter, "Just give your second brother's wife a good name, Xuan, daylily is the most suitable for boys."
The mother and daughter murmured for a while, and when they saw Chen Xuan coming over with the fabric, Wei Jinxian stretched his neck and asked, "Where did you get the fabric?"
Chen Xuan was really an honest person. She gave the fabric to Old Mrs. Wei, "Last time, Brother Nian took it home, saying it was a gift, but he didn't use it, so I gave it to you." Wei Nian originally said he was going to give it to Mr. Jiao, but since he didn't use it, Chen Xuan just gave it to Old Mrs. Wei honestly, as she couldn't use it herself.
Old Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "I see." She felt that Chen Xuan was an honest person. Although she hadn't made any progress in half a year since her marriage, she was a good person.
Wei Jin had already picked up the piece of black satin with red flowers and compared it to her body. "Mom, this is the only cheongsam I need for the winter. It's just right to cut one for the New Year."
"Then I'll make you clothes with this piece of silk." Old Madam Wei was always generous to her daughter. Wei Jin took the piece of dark silk and begged Old Madam Wei with a smile, "Give me this piece too, I'll make a robe for your son-in-law. Mom, you know that even though we run a clothing store, we can't move anything on the counter. What your son-in-law wears are all unsaleable bottoms from the warehouse. He is a young master after all, but sometimes he wears worse than the shopkeeper and his clerks. I think he is shabby, so we have to prepare two sets of decent clothes for him to wear."
Old Mrs. Wei simply gave them all to her eldest daughter, and Chen Xuan didn't say anything. These were things on the cabinet, so Old Mrs. Wei could give them to whoever she wanted.
At one point, Mrs. Wei saw that the time was almost right, so she took Yun Jie'er to the theater to watch a play. Wei Jin sat on the kang knitting a sweater. Li, Wei Yin, and Chen Xuan were also there. Li was knitting a sweater, while Chen Xuan and Wei Yin were flipping through the knitting book to choose a style. Chen Xuan picked a common style, and her wool was bright red. Wei Yin took a look, calculated the size of Chen Xuan's clothes, and started knitting for her. Wei Yin had already knitted her own, and gave Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei a scarf and a pair of gloves each, just right for wearing at this moment.
Chen Xuan made a jacket for Wei Yin.
Seeing them like this, Wei Jin couldn't help but curl his lips again. However, Wei Jin had hit a snag with Chen Xuan before, and now he is much better, curling his lips and saying fewer harsh words.
After Chen Xuan finished making Wei Yin's coat, she started to learn to knit a scarf with Wei Yin. Knitting is not difficult, but Wei Nian has high requirements and specifies the pattern and color. He also refuses to use thick wool and insists on using fine wool. The result is very thin and the progress is very slow. After the scarf is knitted, Chen Xuan shows it to Wei Nian. Wei Nian touches it and puts it on directly, "Not bad, it's cold outside, so it's perfect for going out."
Chen Xuan also said, "You look really good with this scarf when you wear a suit. It's just a little thin. It would be better if you used thick wool, which would be thicker and warmer."
"Don't be stupid. When you wear a suit, you have to wear a thin scarf with fine thread, or a long scarf made of thin wool. How can it look good with a thick scarf?" Wei Nian always paid attention to his clothes. He also told Chen Xuan something, "Mr. Jiao said there will be a salon next week and he wants me to attend. I'll go check it out first. If this thing is good, I'll take you with me next time."
Chen Xuan said happily, "OK!"
Wei Nian said casually, "Use the fabric I cut last time to make a new dress. It's okay to keep it simple at home, but you have to dress up when you go out."
Chen Xuan looked embarrassed. She looked at Wei Nian's face and whispered, "You didn't ask me to make clothes. I returned the material to the old lady." Fearing that Wei Nian would ask her to take it back, Chen Xuan added, "My eldest sister-in-law has already asked the old lady for it."
Wei Nian was so angry at Chen Xuan that he stopped looking at his scarf in the mirror and turned to sit on the kang, saying to Chen Xuan, "Why are you so honest?"
"I thought, since you don't make clothes, if I just cut some clothes and the old lady saw it, she would definitely ask me, so I sent it to her." Chen Xuan said honestly, and she said to Wei Nian, "I have clothes, and a new coat that I haven't worn yet!"
Wei Nian snorted, "By then, everyone will be wearing new clothes, but you'll still be wearing a jacket on your left and a jacket on your right. Aren't you so unfashionable?"
Chen Xuan didn't think the jacket was rustic at all. She boldly replied, "I don't think it's particularly rustic."
Wei Nian glanced at her, and Chen Xuan said quickly, "If there is anything in the future, I will definitely discuss it with you, An Nian, first, okay? I know that you are doing this for my own good, An Nian. You want to take me to the salon and ask me to make new clothes, all for me. An Nian, I am wrong this time, please forgive me this time." She straightened Wei Nian's scarf and coaxed Wei Nian, "I see there is some wool, I will knit another scarf for you, An Nian." She went to pour water for An Nian and asked him if he wanted to have a midnight snack. Wei Nian coaxed her hard. She smiled and said, "Don't be so honest. You want to go out and see more. I know you can make do with your clothes, but people out there judge people by appearance. If you dress a little more simply, they will look down on you. Besides, dressing up when you go out is a kind of courtesy, which shows that you value your friends. Although I'm a nagging person, you just did it. What are you afraid of? If you are afraid of owing me a favor, you can pay me back when you have great ability in the future. You can't worry about this and that and look down on yourself, understand?"
Chen Xuan nodded and agreed, "I know, I know."
"Just knowing it is not enough, you have to keep it in mind."
"I will definitely remember it." Chen Xuan assured again and again. Although she did not completely agree with Wei Nian's statement, Wei Nian was a person in the outside world and must know more about the outside world than she did. Chen Xuan was also a person who drank foreign coffee and ate foreign Western food, and went to high-end places. If you think about it, the people there are indeed glamorous.
Chen Xuan thought about it and gritted her teeth, "Then Brother Anian, please get me another piece of material. Don't take it from the counter for free. Pay for it. I'll just lend it to you, Brother Anian!"
"Not bad, not bad. You are teachable." Wei Nian applauded and expressed his satisfaction with Chen Xuan's progress.
"Oh, right." Wei Nian added, "I paid for those two pieces of material from the counter, but you sent them away and now I can't get them back. I'm going to put the bill on you."
Chen Xuan was dumbfounded.
Wei Nian looked at Chen Xuan's dazed look and thought, you will remember this letter for the rest of your life!
