Zhou Yu originally wanted to use this as an excuse to provide some food for the Zhao family, and he would accept the mending no matter what state it was in.

Ever since he came to Qin County, he had lost his former attention to detail. It wasn't that he really didn't want to wear patched clothes, he just wore them inside.

But when I saw what Aunt Zhao showed me, I was a little surprised.

For example, if the cuffs are torn, they can cut off a piece of the torn part, connect it with light-colored cloth, and then embroider a simple pattern, and it will look like a new piece of clothing.

For example, if the trouser legs are torn, cut off the torn part, but do not connect it downwards. Instead, cut it directly from the knee and use cloth of another color to connect the middle. This way, the repaired part will not be visible when walking.

That cape is even more stunning.

The originally damaged part was embroidered with a pattern of floating clouds supporting the sun, and a pine branch was embroidered underneath it. Two clusters of pine leaves were also embroidered on the other side of the cloak to echo it.

The stitches are fine and even, and the embroidery is outstanding, which adds a lot of color to the originally plain cloak.

He had seen people at home mending clothes on the real thread, but they were just like this. Those people were all embroiderers picked from hundreds of thousands.

But Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying are just country women...

"uncle!"

Just as I thought of this, I heard An An's cry.

The little girl was eating in Qin Ying's arms, but when she saw Zhou Yu coming, she sped up. As soon as Qin Ying wiped her mouth, she couldn't wait to move into the handsome uncle's arms.

Zhou Yu quickly took her over, smiled, tapped her nose, and asked, "Are you full?"

"Yeah!" An An nodded seriously and patted his round belly, "I'm full!"

Zhou Yu teased her for a while before saying to Aunt Zhao, "Your cooking skills are really good!"

"How's it going? Did I blow it?" Xu Xia smiled and helped fold the clothes and put them into the bag. "Aunt Zhao, are you free?"

Aunt Zhao suddenly had a bad feeling. "Xiao Xu, you...you don't want me to make clothes for Master Zhou? I can't do that!"

Seeing her embarrassment, Xu Xia was very surprised: "Why? Aren't the clothes you made for me very good? I think they are ten times better than those bought in the clothing store!"

Aunt Zhao quickly waved her hands and said, "That's not my credit. The clothes I usually make are the kind we country folk wear.

"I don't know how to make it like yours! That was made by my daughter Yingzi."

Zhou Yu suddenly asked, "What An An is wearing was also made by Miss Qin?"

"Yes," Aunt Zhao was very proud of it. "My daughter Yingzi is very clever and skillful. I can't say anything else, but she is the only one in Tongshu Village who can do that!"

Qin Ying went outside to pour the dishwashing water and came back just in time to hear this. She hurriedly said, "Mom, please stop talking!"

"What are you afraid of!" Aunt Zhao didn't listen to her, "Mom is telling the truth!" She took out the cloth tiger made by Qin Ying with scraps of cloth from the kang and showed it to Zhou Yu.

"Look, sir, if we don't tell you, who can tell that such a fine cloth tiger is made of a piece of cloth that is almost tattered?"

Qin Ying wanted to stop him, but Zhou Yu had already taken it in his hands.

The cloth tiger is not big, just enough for little An An to hold in his arms and play with, but every part of it is exquisite, especially the tiger's facial features, which are naive yet reveal a sense of spirituality.

An An held the cloth tiger in her arms, poked its whiskers, raised her head and arched her eyebrows at Zhou Yu, saying in a baby voice, "Mom! Axe!"

"Yes," Zhou Yu responded with a smile, "Yes, this is the little tiger that mother made for you!"

She blinked her eyes, but no emotion was triggered, and she couldn't receive the doubled energy! How could she make them emotionally fluctuate?

Zhou Yu had already started talking to Qin Ying: "Miss Qin, I'm still in need of a new set of clothes for the New Year. I want to wear them when visiting guests after the New Year. I wonder if you could help me make some for me.

"I'll pay you, and there's no need to rush. Just finish it before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year..."

Having said this, she suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I forgot, needlework is forbidden in the first month of the lunar year. So forget it."

Aunt Zhao was about to say that country people didn't have such requirements, but Qin Ying pulled her back and she shut up.

An An's eyes rolled around. How could this be possible? Why did my mother always want to keep her distance from the handsome uncle?

I disagree! Although making clothes is tiring, if you take your time, it's not a big deal.

She wanted to use some energy to damage Zhou Yu's clothes, but unfortunately she failed.

Forget it, Bentong is only about one year old now, and it is the time when he can’t control his urine.

As for being embarrassed, as long as I don’t care, other people’s prejudiced views and teasing words are nothing!

Then, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a heat on his legs. He looked down and saw that the cheerful little baby had quietly peed.

A faint smell of urine immediately filled the room.

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying's expressions changed at the same time.

Zhou Yu raised his hand quickly, "Don't panic, let her finish peeing, don't scare her."

Huh? An An looked up curiously, her big watery eyes wide open, looking at him with a confused look. Doesn't he even dislike it?

Zhou Yu gently touched her head and said with a smile, "I've heard that babies shouldn't be interrupted while they're peeing, or they'll lose control of their bladder."

Qin Ying looked at Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhao nodded: "That's what I said."

Qin Ying felt uneasy, but she still bowed to Zhou Yu and said, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Zhou Yu chuckled and shook his head, "Just wash it off."

Xu Xia immediately said cleverly, "But you only have this one cotton coat! It's so cold, and it won't dry even after washing it for a day or two. What if it freezes?"

Zhou Yu looked up and met his eyes seeking praise, and immediately understood what he meant. He said, "I'm not that fragile."

Qin Ying felt more and more guilty. It was one thing that she didn't want to be too involved with Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu was the chief official of a county. If he fell ill, the entire Qin County might be affected. The consequence was too heavy for her to bear.

So he took the initiative to say, "Sir, do you have any cloth or cotton? If you don't mind, we can help you make a set of cotton-padded clothes."

"Isn't that too much trouble?" Xu Xia declined on his behalf. "We can go back and wash it, or dry it over the fire. At worst, we can just wrap ourselves around the quilt and review the documents.

"It's a pity, we only have one set of cotton clothes each, so we can't lend them to adults."

Qin Ying said hurriedly: "We are very quick, but we would like to trouble you to stay at my house for a while."

"In that case," Zhou Yu nodded slightly, "then let Xu Xia go back and get it."

At this time, An An had finished peeing and was a little disappointed to find that it did not trigger their emotional fluctuations.

Qin Ying hurriedly brought the child over and wanted to change her clothes.

Zhou Yu stood up and went to Zhao Hu's room.

The clothes soaked with urine could no longer be worn, but fortunately there were some patched clothes in the bag. Although they were not warm enough, they could at least cover my body.

Aunt Zhao quickly sent Zhao Hu to fetch a bundle of firewood and asked him to heat up the kang. If Lord Zhou caught a cold, they would be guilty of a serious crime.

Qin Ying changed An An's clothes, washed the wet part with water, wrung it out, and spread it on the kang to warm it. She gently pinched her little nose and whispered, "You little troublemaker!"
