The world is broken, the cubs mend it
Chapter 173 Era: Tailoring
"Give me a dime."
Chen Jiahe took out a banknote and handed it to the other party. He didn't like going to the market very much, so he bought a few more to save for next time.
"Dad, just one is enough to taste."
When Yuanyuan saw his father holding a handful of candies, he quickly waved his hands and said that just one can be enough.
The little guy is just greedy. When he sees other children eating, he also wants to try it. He never thinks of asking his father to buy a lot.
"Eat it, and save the rest for later."
Chen Jiahe handed her one and put the rest in his pocket.
"Dad, eat first!" Yuanyuan peeled off the candy wrapper and handed the candy to his mouth.
"I don't like sweets."
Chen Jiahe glanced at it and didn't take it. He didn't intend to eat all the candies at once. He just wanted to give one to the child occasionally.
"Dad likes to eat."
Yuanyuan is willing to share delicious food, so I forcefully put the candy in his mouth.
"I…"
As soon as Chen Jiahe opened his mouth, candy was stuffed into his mouth. He was a little dazed.
My first thought was whether I could spit it out and feed it to my child, and then I was extremely disgusted by the thought.
"Didn't I say I don't like it?"
"Dad has already eaten."
Yuanyuan raised her little face and looked mischievous. Anyway, as long as it cost money, her dad would say he didn't like it.
"..."
Chen Jiahe had no choice but to take out another candy and give it to her. The candy was very sweet with a slight sour taste.
Adults also like to eat snacks and candies, but they are more willing to leave the food for the children, and they are happy when they eat the candies.
"Dad likes candy."
Yuanyuan still came to this conclusion for him.
"It's okay, just eat whatever you have, don't worry about me."
Chen Jiahe felt that he was quite selfish and would never give even a single bit of his things to others.
But for some reason he was willing to spend money on his child and didn't want to see his child's disappointed expression.
This change only applies to his children; he remains as stingy as ever to others.
Perhaps love can make a stingy person generous.
"No, if there's anything delicious you have to eat it with daddy, that's called sharing the huhu."
Yuanyuan uttered a vague idiom: When something delicious happens, you should share it with the most important people.
"It should be a blessing to share, right?"
Chen Jiahe couldn't help laughing out loud. Although he had never been to school, he had heard some of these words from other people.
"should be…"
This is what everyone said last time when I played house with Sister Yingying and the others and became sworn brothers.
The mountains were noticeably cooler in mid-August, and the rich scent of osmanthus wafted in the air from afar.
Recently, Chen Jiahe often takes cloth to Village Chief Wang's house to learn how to make clothes from the village chief's wife.
The village chief's wife was a harsh person, but she was not a bad person at heart. Knowing that he wanted to make clothes for his daughter, she agreed to teach him how to make clothes.
Use corn paste to stick unused old cloth together layer by layer, making sure to make the paste smooth. Then put it outside to dry, and it will become a thick hard shell.
I measured the child's size and drew a rough outline on it with a stone that could be marked with color.
Once cut, sew onto the fabric, cut out shapes of the corresponding size, and start sewing.
Autumn clothes have to be double-layered with a thin layer of cotton, and sewing is relatively difficult.
Chen Jiahe is a rough man, and just threading a needle is enough to make him die.
It's not so busy in autumn, so he brings his children over when he is free in the afternoon.
Part of the reason why the village chief's wife had a bad temper was that she was impatient. When she saw that the pattern he drew was asymmetrical, she helped him to correct it while scolding him.
It was impossible to say that he was not angry. Compared to spending more money on new clothes, Chen Jiahe would rather be scolded here.
You don't have to pay to get scolded, and you can even get free needlework from the village head's wife. It's a sure-win deal.
Yuanyuan loves to play with the village chief’s dog. The dog has a snow-white body and a black head, and the colors seem particularly abrupt and not on the same level.
She was also afraid of Aunt Chen, and when she saw her scolding her father, she would go up to take a look at first.
Until one day when the dog got angry with her, she started playing with the dog by herself and far away.
"..."
Chen Jiahe was doing clumsy needlework, looking in the direction of the child from time to time.
He prefers to share the bad times rather than the good times, and when he gets scolded he especially wants his children to be around to share the burden.
Under Aunt Chen's strict teaching, Yuanyuan's first "Dad-brand" jacket was successfully created. It didn't look very neat, but it was her favorite piece of clothing.
“It’s not easy for you to do this.”
When Aunt Chen saw the finished product, she rarely scolded him. She held it up and demonstrated it to the child twice.
"I really don't know who is more blessed between you and your daughter."
Girls were not welcomed in the village, and they were not allowed to wear new clothes.
Even though conditions are much better now than during the famine years, it is rare to see families treating baby girls as treasures.
At first, when Chen Jiahe asked her to make clothes, she just thought she was just acting on impulse, but she didn't expect that she actually made a dress.
He has never had a very good reputation, but he is sincere to children and I have never heard him say a harsh word to them.
Even someone like her who has lived for almost half of her life was somewhat envious of the child for having parents who loved her so much.
"Everyone is blessed, and my aunt is also blessed."
Yuanyuan opened her arms and put on the new clothes, which felt soft with cotton inside.
"You, kid, are more talkative than your father."
Aunt Chen smiled kindly and reached out to pinch her little face.
"Thank you for your help these days."
Chen Jiahe also thanked her. He had already learned most of the steps of making clothes and could follow them in the future.
"Take this back. There are some old clothes as well. I have no use for them."
Aunt Chen shared some of her needlework with him. Although he didn't say anything, he knew clearly in his heart that he came not only to learn skills but also to get some needlework for free.
There are still some clothes that my children wore when they were young at home. They look a little old but are still wearable.
It takes some time to make clothes. If the weather gets cold, you can just wear whatever you want for now.
When Chen Jiahe came out of Village Chief Wang’s house, he was carrying a lot of things in his hands.
Although he was stingy, he did not try to take advantage of others and left some of the new cloth for Aunt Chen.
Yuanyuan put on new clothes and went to play with the children in the village. In autumn, there were wax gourds and wild grapes in the mountains.
She was too small to reach the fruits, so she was waiting under the tree for them to knock them down with sticks, and then pick them up one by one.
"You're wearing new clothes again?"
Wang Yingying was the first to notice her new clothes. Some parts looked rough, but overall it was still good.
"My dad made it for me."
Yuanyuan held the wax melon in her hand and happily showed a row of white teeth.
"Your father can also make clothes?"
Wang Yingying looked at her in disbelief. Her father couldn't even thread a needle, and it was her mother who sewed all the torn clothes in the house.
