Quick Wear: If I Had Regret Medicine

Chapter 87 The Drowned Cousin 4

After dinner, Xuanhe returned to his room.

Shen went to explain the cotton matter to Grandma Lin. Grandma Lin, who was about to curse, shut her mouth silently when she heard that she and the old man both had the same set of clothes.

She and the old man haven't made new clothes for several years, especially winter clothes.

The economic situation is bad now. We can hardly afford to eat, let alone make new clothes.

"Just make your own arrangements. You don't have to work on the field in the east tomorrow. Just finish making the clothes at home."

Grandma Lin was also happy to have new clothes to wear.

Shen is an expert at making clothes, and with Xuanhe's help, these clothes will be ready in a few days.

"I have a few pieces of cloth in my room. You can use them later." Grandma Lin always thought that the cloth would not be used.

The cloth that Grandma Lin was talking about was her dowry when she got married. She has kept it all these years just for the sake of a memory.

"Okay, Mom!" Shen agreed readily. Although there was material at home, it could be saved and used to make other clothes later.

And why don’t you want what Grandma Lin gives you?

When Xuanhe got up the next morning, he saw the several pieces of cloth on his desk and asked Shen.

"This is what your grandmother gave you. When the time comes, use this cloth to make a piece of clothing for your grandparents and grandparents, and the rest for your brother. As for your material, use the one sent by the Mo family. The light yellow color suits you best."

Fortunately, he nodded and said nothing.

"Mom, you go and do your work today. I'll make the clothes. I can finish them in two days."

Her purpose of sending Shen away was to take out some more cotton from the space. Who would use all this cotton now?

They are called nine pieces of clothing, especially Lin Yuan and Grandpa Lin’s clothes, which use more cotton.

"Sure. I just happened to be visiting your grandparents. Someone called me this morning to take a look. I wonder what happened?"

Shen looked a little worried. She had originally planned to make clothes with Xuanhe today, but now she couldn't do that.

She had to go back to the Shen family to see what happened, for fear that something urgent had happened at home.

After Shen left, Xuanhe took out a sewing machine from the space and started making clothes.

Considering her speed, these clothes would take less than a day to finish.

Each piece of clothing is stuffed full of cotton, making sure it cannot be seen.

When Shen came back in the evening, Xuanhe had already finished making all nine pieces of clothing.

"How come you are so fast?" Shen looked at Xuanhe in surprise.

After she went back today and found out that it was not an urgent matter, she came back and brought good news.

But even though she rushed back in a hurry, it was still very late and it would soon be dark.

Xuanhe’s speed had never been so fast before. This time, he managed to finish nine pieces of clothing in just one day.

"Liu Xi came over just now and helped me, but she has gone home now."

The Liuxi that Xuanhe mentioned was a good sister of the original owner.

Anyway, Shen would not ask Liuxi, because Liuxi's home was very far away from here, and in the original owner's memory, Liuxi was about to get married.

The place where she got married was in the same town as the Mo family where Xuanhe would marry in the future, but the two families were still quite far apart.

"Then how can you let her work? She finally came here, you should just play with her for a while."

Shen liked Liuxi very much and her clothing craftsmanship was also very good.

She looked at the few pieces of clothing and touched them back and forth with her hands, but Shen's hands were covered with calluses, so she touched very carefully.

"Your cooking skills are getting better and better. Look how fine these dumplings are!"

Xuanhe felt a little embarrassed when he heard Shen's praise.

All this was thanks to the sewing machine, but she remained calm and accepted Shen's compliment.

"I'll go cook first, and you can collect the rest."

Shen saw that it was getting late and she still had to cook. Besides, she went to her parents' house today, which was a good thing, but she would talk about it at the dinner table in the evening.

The reason why Xuanhe didn't ask what happened to the Shen family was because she knew through the system that the son of Shen's eldest uncle was admitted to the county academy.

And because the eldest uncle of the Shen family has a good talent for studying, he can bring an extra place for admission.

This quota naturally went to Xuanhe's younger brother. Her brother had actually gone to school for two years in the previous few years, but the family conditions were too difficult, so he returned to farming.

The two younger brothers have very different personalities. Although they are twins, the older brother likes to go up the mountain to catch birds and go down to the river to fish every day.

The younger brother, on the other hand, was much quieter in nature. He often read a book that he had read with his own eyes. He had spent a lot of money to buy this book in the town.

Even if he turned it over carefully, the edges still got rough.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Xuanhe directly handed the two finished clothes to Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin.

"Grandpa and grandma, these are the clothes I made. Your clothes are also very old. Try them to see if they fit. If they don't fit, I will alter them."

The reason why Xuanhe took out the clothes so openly was because the cotton issue had been made clear yesterday.

And even if other members of the Lin family have opinions, that’s fine. They have no reason to say anything.

Although Shen's two sisters-in-law looked unhappy, because Grandma Lin gave her cloth to Shen, a few pieces of cloth were enough to make two clothes, and there was still a lot left.

"Hey, I'm wearing new clothes this year too. These clothes feel very warm to the touch, and are perfect for the New Year."

Grandma Lin is really happy and tries her best to treat everyone equally at home.

But among the several daughters-in-law, the one he likes the most is the eldest daughter-in-law, and he chose her himself.

"Oh, by the way, mother, there is one more thing we need to tell you. Starting tomorrow, the 05th week will go to the county school. I will go with my eldest brother's child, and there is no tuition."

Hearing this, all the people who had just focused on the clothes looked at Shen in shock.

"Mom, is it true? Can I go to school? I can actually go to the county school!" Xuanhe's younger brother was very happy. This opportunity to study was really rare.

Lin Wuzhou had already jumped up from the ground with joy; he had just been washing his hands.

"Yes, I went back to my mother's house today. The child can go to the county school tomorrow. We don't even need to prepare pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. He can just go directly."

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin were very impressed. This grandson of the Shen family was a very good student. According to the teacher, as long as there were no problems in the future, it was only a matter of time for him to pass the imperial examinations.

"Why should Lin Wuzhou go?"

Liu was very dissatisfied because his son was the eldest son of the Lin family!

"This spot was obtained by my brother's child for our family!"

Shen didn't tolerate her at all and directly retorted.

Liu's face looked very unhappy, and she asked her eldest son to pull her clothes.

"Mom, please stop talking."

Lin Wuchuan felt a little ashamed. In fact, although there were conflicts in the family relationship in the Lin family, it was much better than those families who fought every day. However, there was one person who wanted to make trouble from time to time, but was always suppressed by Grandma Lin.

"Why shouldn't I say it? I won't argue with you about the quota for studying, but why did you give so much fabric to my eldest sister-in-law this time? Why are you so partial, mother?"

Liu looked up and looked at Grandma Lin beside her holding the clothes that Xuanhe had just given her.

Liu was very jealous of the dress. Although the color of the material looked a bit old-fashioned, she would not reject it if it was given to her.

"They made clothes for us, and they paid for the cotton themselves. If you don't have the ability, what can I do?"

Mrs. Liu was choked by Grandma Lin's words and was speechless for a long time. She went back to her room angrily.

No one else around said anything. What Grandma Lin said was very normal because the cotton was provided by others, and Grandma Lin could give the fabric to whomever she wanted, and they had no say in the matter.

Grandpa Lin had already put on the clothes and felt them for a while. "This clothes fits me very well and is really warm. My old bones feel a lot warmer instantly."

Grandpa Lin was very happy. Before it got dark, he put on his clothes and went for a stroll in the village.

The same went for Grandma Lin. She went out with the old man. In less than half an hour, everyone in the village knew that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family paid for a set of clothes for the old couple.

As for your family, there are many families in the village whose conditions are better than theirs, but the best thing about your family is that they never have conflicts.

When it was time for dinner, the old couple came back with happy smiles on their faces.

"This is two taels of silver. It was my dowry. It's not my family's savings. Take it and give it to the second boy tomorrow when he goes to the county. He'll need money to buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. Consider this my gift to him as a celebration."

Although they just said they don't want money, there's nothing wrong with preparing more.

After Grandma Lin finished speaking, she glanced at the people present and continued, "If you have the ability, you can go to the city to study by yourself, and I will give you two taels of silver."

The reason why Grandma Lin spoke so firmly was that among the several children who were sent to school that year, only Lin Wuzhou persisted.

For others, even sitting there seemed to be a threat to their lives, let alone studying.

So they should forget about getting these two taels of silver.

Maybe the Lin family really has no talent for studying. She and the old man went to ask the teacher, and the teacher said that their family members were of average intelligence.

So since there was no money to send them to school, we called everyone back.

Lin Ruru next to her looked very normal today. She had already figured out how to make money.

It is winter now. As long as she can grow vegetables in the greenhouse, she can make a fortune by selling the books on the street.

But for someone who has lived in a big city since childhood, although she knows the principles of growing vegetables in greenhouses, the Lin family does not have such a large place for her to use.

It's just that she is a modern person after all, and there are many ways to make money, but she just has no way to try it now.

She didn't have any feelings about what happened today. In this era, even if the second branch of the Lin family had the opportunity to study, it would not be his.

As for her relationship with her younger brother, there is still a lack of relationship. Even if she becomes successful in the future, it is better for her to marry well.

Xuanhe didn't know what they were thinking because she was taken to her grandmother's house by her dormitory early the next morning, along with Lin Wuzhou.

Lin Ruru, who was waiting for an opportunity at home, was already furious. When she got up early, she found that the eldest son of the Lin family and his family were not at home.

After asking Grandma Lin, I found out that their whole family had gone to the Shen family because of Lin Wuzhou.

She kept looking for opportunities to wait for Lin Xuanhe to go wash clothes, intending to kill her.

But there was never a chance. She thought Lin Xuanhe was going to do laundry today, so she got up early on purpose.

She curled up in her bed. The room was too small and the clothes she wore were too small. She felt really cramped.

When Xuanhe and his friends arrived at Shen's house, Grandma Shen was waiting for them at the door.

"You're finally here. I thought you would come later. You didn't eat anything this morning, right? Come and eat something. We'll leave after you eat.

Grandma Shen was very happy when she saw them coming, but time was urgent and she had no time to think.

"Okay, mother, we'll go get the food ourselves, you sit down and take a rest."

Shen quickly took a few children to the kitchen to get some rice. Inside the main room, everyone else in the Shen family had already finished their meal.

Seeing their family coming, he quickly made room for them.

There are only two children in the Shen family. Their older generation separated long ago, and there are only two children in this generation.

In fact, there were other children at that time, but they didn't survive the illness.

Xuanhe looked at the Shen family. The Shen family’s current house is a brick and tile house, and each of them has a separate house.

It’s different in the Lin family. Xuanhe now lives in a room separated from his two younger brothers.

Grandpa Shen is a furniture maker, so there are a lot of furniture in the house, otherwise the Lin family would not be able to put them in now.

The Shen family’s yard is very big, and there are actually some vegetables planted in the yard. Xuanhe was a little surprised that there were vegetables at this time.

There is really no comparison between the winter in ancient times and now. The weather here is really cold.

After they had finished they went out into the street and then into town.

Xuanhe looked at his cousin, who was the same age as his brother and wore the same clothes as everyone else, but his temperament really revealed the temperament of a scholar.

It’s hard to describe that feeling, but when I talk to people, it feels very comfortable and doesn’t make people feel uncomfortable.

He is also very hardworking, unlike a family in their village who became like a big boss after studying.
