Everyone was given a piece of cloth to make clothes, and there was still a lot left. Zhulan looked at the light-colored cloth given to the little girl with envy. She also wanted to make one, but unfortunately she couldn't. She was a grandmother, and if she dared to wear it outside, she would be considered immodest and would be gossiped about, affecting the reputation of all women in the Zhou family.
Zhulan looked at the dark cloth in her hand and felt so heartbroken that even breathing hurt. What a shameful ancient times.
Zhao was very happy. Her mother-in-law gave her some cloth and she had new clothes to wear. Her mother loved her. "Mother."
Zhulan trembled when she heard the crying voice. She was really afraid of Zhao and quickly took a piece of fine cotton cloth and said, "Cut this piece into five pieces."
Zhao held back her tears. Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief. The cutting was done. Zhulan really admired Zhao. She didn't even need a ruler to measure five equal portions. This feeling was something that not everyone could have.
Zhulan took out a piece and said, "This piece is for Yushuang and the unborn baby to make underwear. Okay, you can also take your family's cloth back to do needlework!"
She really didn't want to stay with Zhao anymore, fearing that it would affect her brain.
Zhao held the cloth, seeming to want to say something but hesitant. Zhulan ignored her cold expression the whole time. After Zhao left, Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief, finally leaving.
Then she sorted out the fabrics from the old family and felt depressed when she saw what was left. Her original body could make simple clothes, but she couldn't do it with just her memories.
Two young sons, one in junior high school and the other in elementary school, are completely children in modern times, but in ancient times, it would be embarrassing for adults to look after them. Clothes of this age cannot be made for the sister-in-law. People in ancient times were very cautious about these things. When they grow up, it will be said that it is a matter of family tradition and only she can do it.
It’s not enough to just remember how to cut, let alone make clothes. Zhulan felt sick when she thought about her and Zhou Shuren’s clothes!
"Mother, mother."
Zhulan's eyes suddenly lit up. Oh my, she has a daughter. "What does Xuehan want to talk to her mother about?"
Xue Han came running in. "My second brother has come back to pick up my third and fourth brothers. Dad told me to let mom bring a bowl of noodles to make dumpling soup for them."
After saying that, the dumpling soup at noon was really delicious.
Zhulan then remembered that only her family had three meals a day, and her two sons who were studying were hungry at noon. The two boys didn't think much of it as they were used to being hungry anyway.
As a mother, I was worried about my child. I had thought about preparing special meals for my child at home. Unfortunately, my husband disagreed. According to him, one should be hungry to feel energetic, and studying is not for enjoyment.
So for the three meals a day at home, the two sons who were studying went hungry every day!
Zhulan, “… … ..”
Xue Han saw that her mother was distracted, "Mom."
Zhulan smiled and said, "Mom, go get the noodles. Can Xuehan help me sort out the fabrics?"
Xue Han's eyes sparkled and she said happily, "Okay, mom."
Zhulan took the cloth from the old family and handed it to Mrs. Li in the kitchen, "This is yours. Go back and make new clothes for everyone in your family."
Li had been staring at Zhao. When Zhao took the cloth, she felt like she was being scratched by a cat. She looked at the cloth and found that it was more than what Zhao took. She smiled sweetly, "Thank you, mother."
"Well, I'll go get the noodles. You can make a pot of dumpling soup for the third and fourth children. If the bone soup is gone, beat an egg."
Li received the benefit and readily agreed to the request without feeling jealous.
Zhulan is really trying to treat everyone equally. As for dividing the family, sorry to say she has never thought about it. Zhou Shuren is going to take the imperial examinations, and family harmony is very important. If the family is not divided, the family can be under the control of the family and nothing can go wrong. If the family is divided and no one is in charge, who knows what trouble will happen!
Zhulan really doesn't have much confidence in her two daughters-in-law!
