The Pretty Military Wife

Fu Chunhua pointed out the special features of the dress while demonstrating.

Especially the belly part of the dress is double-layered, just like the clothes in ancient times, which were inserted on the right inside and on the left outside. When it is buttoned up, you can't even see that there is another layer inside.

However, it really does help keep the abdomen warm.

And Fu Chunhua smiled and said:

"I don't make cotton-padded clothes like others do. They say you need to wear a small jacket inside. I don't. I wear an autumn coat inside, then this cotton-padded clothes, and a coat outside, and that's it."

Then he laughed and said:

"But sister, I have a lot of fat to keep me warm. You are too thin. I see you can knit a sweater. You can wear a sweater inside, then you will be warm."

"That's what I thought."

Not to mention, Liang Xinyue really likes the way Fu Chunhua made her cotton-padded coat.

In her previous life, she had learned how to cut oblique buttoned clothes by following a video in a book, but she didn't do it well. The upper body was too small, and the hem was spread out like a skirt.

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Come on, Sister Fu, measure my size. Help me cut it."

Liang Xinyue wiped the table again, then went to get the new cloth she had bought:

"This is the cloth I planned to use to make a cotton coat. I can also make a pair of cotton pants. The cloth seller said that's enough. Sister, can you take a look?"

Fu Chunhua is very good at needlework, and she cuts and sews the clothes for everyone in her family herself.

Therefore, she didn't even use a ruler to measure the size. She just lifted Liang Xinyue's arm and started measuring with her hand. With her thumb fixed and her palm straightened, the distance between her thumb and middle finger was one span.

Fu Chunhua was measuring and reciting at the same time. After a while, she measured the length of the arm, the width of the shoulders, the waist circumference, and the length of the legs.

Then Fu Chunhua was seen drawing on the ground with scissors in her hand. After a while, she stood up and said with a smile, knowing what was going on:

"Girl, you are just too thin. Gain some weight. Men like to look at skinny women, but they like to hug chubby women."

Liang Xinyue burst out laughing, looked at Fu Chunhua, leaned close to Fu Chunhua's ear and smiled:

"So does your Captain Chen like to hug you?"

Fu Chunhua raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"Of course."

I couldn't help laughing when I said that.

As the two chatted and laughed, Fu Chunhua taught Liang Xinyue how to fold it before using the scissors, and also explained which section represented which part of the body.

This type of clothes is different from the double-breasted ones. The double-breasted ones are divided into three parts, front and back, two parts for the sleeves, and a collar or a button at the door.

But this one is a whole back piece, sleeves and front piece connected together. The seams are under the armpits, and the whole shoulder front and back piece are connected.

Liang Xinyue listened and learned carefully. Although this kind of clothing will be out of fashion soon, in a few decades, when people wear ancient costumes again, the tailoring of this kind of clothing will be brought up again.

But if you learn it now, you will have acquired a new skill.

Liang Xinyue asked when she didn't understand, and also asked Fu Chunhua how she calculated the size distribution of the front and back pieces.

What I learned from a book in my previous life was not appropriate. I just couldn't allocate the size of the front and back pieces properly.

Fu Chunhua did not hide anything and taught Liang Xinyue carefully.

In the morning, apart from changing Yaya's diaper, the four children had a lot of fun and they cut the outer layer of their cotton-padded jackets.

After lunch, the two took out the cloth and started eating.

To make cotton-padded clothes, lining is definitely needed.

In order to see if the new apprentice had learned the trick, Fu Chunhua asked Liang Xinyue to cut the lining cloth herself.

The lining can be repaired if it is cut, but it must be cut the same as the outside.

Liang Xinyue was not very good at measuring with her hands, so she took a ruler to learn and compared the measurements with those of Fu Chunhua.

The lining had just been cut and we were preparing to tailor the size of the pants when Xiao Wei arrived.

"Sister, sister-in-law Fu."

Xiao Wei didn't come empty-handed, he was carrying two bags.

"Sister, the captain asked the canteen to buy this for you today. This bag is rice, this bag has noodles, some meat, and some vegetables."

"By the way, the political commissar said, what vegetables do you want to buy? Please give me a list and I will ask the canteen to buy them and bring them back to you."

Liang Xinyue hurried to open it and saw that there was still a lot of pork. She took back the whole piece of rib meat. Fortunately, the ribs were not removed. This was Liang Xinyue's favorite.

But the weather here is very strange. It is sunny during the day and very cold at night.

If you can't finish the meat in one go, you can't just leave it there. You have to use your own simple storage method.

Liang Xinyue hurriedly cut up the meat and put it into the ice bucket.

I also packed the newly bought rice and flour separately.

I looked at the potatoes I bought before, and there were really only a few left. I still had two cabbages.

"Xiao Wei, how much do I have to pay the canteen for these things I bought today? You have to calculate it for me. I can't take advantage of the canteen, or your leader will criticize me when he comes back."

Xiao Wei smiled and said:

"Don't worry about that. No one in our group can take advantage of us."

Xiao Wei said in a low voice:

"Our logistics department director Wang and quartermaster Lao Liu are both keeping an eye on us, and they are very stingy. They were specially retained by the political commissar and the regiment commander because they are stingy."

Fu Chunhua also laughed and said:

"Don't worry, if you don't give me the money, Lao Liu will come to ask for it."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"That's as it should be. When I first arrived here, Zhou Guoliang mentioned it several times. No, he mentioned it before we even got here, on the way: Don't think that I can do whatever I want in the regiment just because I'm the head of the regiment. That's absolutely not allowed."

Liang Xinyue imitated Zhou Guoliang's tone of voice and made everyone laugh.

Xiao Wei said:

"Don't worry, sister. The amount has been recorded on the captain's salary. I signed it. It will be deducted when the salary is paid tomorrow. I will give you the rest later."

Fu Chunhua smiled and said:

"Sister, our team leader has been very considerate of you in every way. He loves you. Our Lao Chen is a careless person. If I don't remind him, he won't remember."

Xiao Wei smiled and said:

"Speaking of Captain Chen, he will be back the day after tomorrow. I heard the political commissar answer his phone call today."

Fu Chunhua clicked her tongue twice and said:

"This person, when he comes back it's like he found something, and when he leaves it's like he lost it. He doesn't even remember to bring us a message."

Liang Xinyue saw it, and although she said words of disgust, her face was filled with a happy smile.
