Chapter 42 Suffering from lack of culture
"what?"
"Cloth." Lu Xuan shook the things in his hand. His clothes were almost all wet, but the cotton cloth in his arms was not wet at all. "The captain went to the county for a meeting, and I followed him. I bought it when I had the chance."
Pure white cotton cloth. Shen Wu recalled that the last time she bought that bed sheet, it cost more than ten yuan. This piece of cloth is quite a lot. There are also some scraps of cloth with different patterns in the package. "How much does it cost?"
After asking Shen Wu, she felt that she was really depraved and pitiful!
I can’t bear to buy a piece of cloth now.
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Homemade cloth, not expensive. With a ticket, it's 2.7 feet wide and 2.5 cents per foot. I also spent 40 cents to buy this pile of scraps. No ticket is needed. Thanks to the captain, I know the salesperson and I was able to buy eight feet."
The cloth was fine, but the cheap scraps were rare and were usually sold by the salesperson to acquaintances.
This is really thanks to the captain.
It was still raining outside. Shen Wu had nothing to do, so she took out the cotton and some cloth and arranged them on the kang.
She suddenly remembered.
She can't do it herself!
She had lived through some poor times in her previous life, but no matter how poor they were, they did not force her to do needlework by herself, and she never took up this kind of work when she grew up.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Xuan blankly, "Third brother, I can't do it, can you?"
Girls nowadays usually learn to do some handicrafts, and most of their clothes are homemade. Lu Xuan really didn't expect that his wife couldn't do it, looking at her pale little face and pitiful eyes.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly, "I don't know how to do that either."
His mother only taught his eldest sister.
"My second sister-in-law should know how to do it. She usually makes Pan'er's clothes."
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, Shen Wu gathered the cotton together and stuffed it into the bag.
"I'll go ask my second sister-in-law."
The cotton was light and looked plentiful, and the fabric was also new. Before Shen Wu came out, Lu Xuan stopped her and said, "It would make too much noise. Go ask your second sister-in-law to come over and ask her."
The new cloth was a good thing. Shen Wu thought about it and thought, if she gave it out, someone might get jealous, or Old Lady Lu might ask her to hand it over to the government for safekeeping.
What Lu Xuan said is more reliable.
Shen Wu came out wearing a straw raincoat and knocked on the door next door.
Wang Hua and Lu Lao Er in the room were startled. They quickly put away the peach cakes on the table, wiped their mouths, and shouted, "Who is it?"
"Second sister-in-law, it's me. I have something to talk to you about."
When Wang Hua heard it was Shen Wu, she opened the door and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Shen Wu lowered her voice, "Second sister-in-law, can you do needlework? I want to make something, but I don't know how. Come and show me. If you can do it, I'll trouble you and give you money."
When Wang Hua heard this, she said, "No need to pay, we are all family. I will go with you to take a look."
Then he turned his head and looked into the house, "Take care of Pan'er."
Lu Lao Er responded and nodded to Shen Wu outside with a smile.
Wang Hua followed Shen Wu into the house and was shocked when she saw Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan is the coldest-faced one among the brothers. Plus, what he did in previous years always makes people scared. They didn't even wait for Wang Hua to speak.
Lu Xuan untied Shen Wu's raincoat and put it on himself, "I'm going out for a while."
Nodded at Wang Hua.
She lowered her head and walked into the rain. It was raining heavily outside. Shen Wu shouted, "Third brother, please be careful."
His aura was too terrifying. Wang Hua heaved a sigh of relief only after Lu Xuan left. "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of my third brother?"
"Ah? What are you afraid of? He just looks fierce, but he's a good person." Shen Wu took out the cotton again and said, "He bought all of this, as well as this fabric. I asked you, my second sister-in-law, to come here because I wanted to ask if you could help make a small quilt for me to put under me."
"This bed is too uncomfortable."
The white cotton and the cotton cloth were also new. “It’s not difficult to do this. I can do it.”
In the east wing, which was the largest room, Li Ping leaned on the window and kicked the man sleeping on the bed, "What is the conspiracy between the second and third families?"
"Why did Wang Hua enter the third brother's room?"
Hearing this, Boss Lu got up. Just as he was lying there, he saw Lu Xuan coming out wearing a raincoat. He yawned and said, "Just a conversation between the sisters-in-law."
"You won't say anything bad about me, will you?" Li Ping frowned.
Boss Lu thought about it seriously and shook his head, "It shouldn't be. The second sister-in-law doesn't like to talk, let alone say bad things about others. Did the third sister-in-law say bad things about the fourth sister-in-law? It's more likely that they said bad things about the fourth sister-in-law. The two of them don't get along well."
……
It was really not difficult for Wang Hua to sew a small quilt. She took the scissors, needle and thread, thimble, spread the cotton, threaded the needle and started sewing. It took her more than an hour to sew a small quilt. Lu Xuan bought a lot of cloth and also sewed a quilt cover for her according to Shen Wu's description.
It seemed simple to Shen Wu, and she even followed her to learn a bit. However, the neat stitches of Wang Hua became distorted, and they looked like a centipede crawling.
Wang Hua walked as if she was measuring with a ruler, straight and the distance between the stitches all looked the same.
"Second sister-in-law, you are amazing!" Shen Wu gave a thumbs up, "You are so meticulous in your work. No one in our family can compare to you."
Wang Hua smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Shen Wu said, "Sister-in-law, can you make me some masks with these scraps of cloth?"
As Shen Wu spoke, she took out a pen and paper and drew something that looked like a sunscreen mask, but it covered the entire face with only the eyes exposed.
Wang Hua wondered what she wanted this for. Wasn't it a waste of fabric?
"The fumes make me uncomfortable when I cook. I'm afraid my face will be damaged." Shen Wu touched her face and said, "I want some dark-colored and eye-catching fabrics. You can take them and make something for Pan'er."
Wang Hua didn't want any money, but when she heard that the fabrics were used to make something for Pan'er, she was really moved.
"You said that was easy, how about I go back and make it for you? And send it back to you when it's done?"
Shen Wu was not in a hurry. She had just sold the goods on the black market last time, so she was not planning to go there recently. She just happened to have some fabric on hand, so she didn't have to ask her second sister-in-law for the second time. "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Shen Wu picked out a few pieces of dark-colored fabrics such as black and blue, and said, "Make eight."
He kept four for himself and gave four to Xu Yin.
The rest was given to Wang Hua, who took the cloth back to her room.
Lu Lao Er was playing with Pan Er in the room, and when he saw Wang Hua coming back, he asked, "Why did you take so long to come back? What did the third sister-in-law want to talk to you about?"
"She doesn't know how to sew, so she asked me to help her. She gave me some scraps of cloth, which were hard to buy, so I altered them and made some patterns on Pan'er's clothes."
Lu Lao Er shook his head after hearing this. "I heard that the third brother's wife fainted when she went to bed. She can't even do needlework. She doesn't look like a woman at all."
"Don't say that. She can read and is going to teach in the future."
Lu Lao Er shook his head. "You and Lao San both suffered from lack of education. You believed what she said. Do you really think learning Chinese characters and teaching students is easy? I think you are still lying to Lao San."
Shen Wu didn't know that people next door were saying bad things about her. After the small quilt was made, she rolled on it twice and sighed that it became much softer.
It was not until there were loud shouts and intense knocks on the door outside that Shen Wu rolled off the kang.
