This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chen Shuning took out a bundle from the kang cabinet and took out the cloth inside. He also handed the note inside the bundle to Ma Lanzhi.

"All the sizes are here! Let's make them for us first. My eldest brother and his wife's clothes can't be finalized until they return to the village.

They both live in the county town, and I don’t know what styles they like… I’m not sure about their sizes either.”

Chen Shuning originally wanted to make Ji Xue's new clothes directly, but Liu Xianghua disagreed, fearing that Ji Xue would not like the country style.

Ma Lanzhi took the note, nodded, and said, "Shuning, let's cut out your clothes first!"

Chen Shuning pulled out the floral cloth and handed it to Ma Lanzhi: "Lanzhi, this cloth is for making shirts! Leave half of the fabric for my sister-in-law!

Let’s make a coat out of this piece of Dacron! I like the style you guys are wearing! It’s so pretty!”

Ma Lanzhi took the cloth and said, "Well! Let's make them all into the style I wear, with a slim waist! It will make you look energetic! Shu Ning, the clothes you're wearing now are too baggy!"

Wang Na also came over, tugged at her clothes and said, "My style is also fine! It's the same style as Lanzhi's, but the details are different!

Lanzhi is right, Shuning, you are so thin, wearing baggy clothes will not look good on you, you can't hold it up!"

Chen Shuning was not picky and was happy to let Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na make the decision.

"Okay, you two do it! I believe in you!"

Ma Lanzhi was delighted to see Chen Shuning trust them so much. She smiled and said, "Well! I'll draw the blueprint first, and Wang Na will teach Shuning how to knit a scarf!"

Wang Na took out the yarn and sticks from her cloth bag and said excitedly, "Shuning, take out the yarn you bought. I'll teach you how to knit a plain stitch!"

Chen Shuning was eager to try! She swiftly took out her wool and placed it in front of Wang Na.

Wang Na took one look at Chen Shuning's yarn and burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Shuning, that's not true! We buy yarn in bunches.

You have to roll the yarn into a ball like me, so that the yarn won’t get tangled when you knit! Come on, you hold the yarn and I’ll roll it!”

"Hehe...so that's how it is! I've never done this before and don't know how to do it! Luckily you are willing to teach me!" Chen Shuning said modestly.

Xu Qingshan next door listened for a while and then turned his attention back to the book.

Chen Jiawang flipped a page and asked casually, "Qingshan, is it too noisy next door? I'll go over and remind them."

Xu Qingshan slowly shook his head and said with a smile: "No! Girls, when they get together, they chatter a lot. It's normal~"

Chen Jiawang looked up at Xu Qingshan and asked, "How did you know? Do you have sisters at home?"

Xu Qingshan smiled and said, "Yes! I have a brother, a sister, and a younger sister."

Chen Jiawang sighed, "Your family is quite lively! Our family has a girl like Chen Shuning, and it's already very lively. Your family has two...tsk tsk!"

Xu Qingshan recalled every detail of his family life and said with a smile: "It is indeed lively, but everyone in our family gets along well with each other."

The wind and snow gradually grew stronger and the sky became darker.

After Ma Lanzhi finished cutting two pieces of clothing, the room was already too dark to see anything.

Ma Lanzhi stretched her back and said, "Wang Na, let's go back first! We can come back tomorrow to do the rest!"

"I won't be at home tomorrow, Lanzhi. Can I let my mother come over to accompany you tomorrow? It's perfect. Let her pick out the styles!" said Chen Shuning.

Wang Na asked curiously, "Where are you going tomorrow? It's snowing so heavily..."

Chen Shuning explained, "Isn't this the case of Xing Fangcao that happened in our village? The police station took it very seriously and specially organized a legal education class!

I'm going to study there tomorrow, and I'll come back tonight to give everyone a legal education class! Wang Na, don't be afraid, my mother has a much better temper than me! It's easy to get along with her.

Wang Na nodded and agreed readily: "Yes! Okay~ We'll come over tomorrow. Tell Auntie to wait for me at home!"

Ma Lanzhi said with a bitter face: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome! But you should have heard that we had a fight with Han Mei, and I'm afraid she will do something bad behind my back!

You have so much fabric, it would be troublesome if she damaged it! She is a person who would spend every penny in half, she can't afford to pay for it!

Wang Na said disdainfully, "What do you mean by not being able to pay? Han Mei is rich! She just...she just gave all her money to her family! Last time I heard...

Xing Fangcao told me that Han Mei saved her food rations and money and mailed them all home. She said that she was the eldest sister and had to support her younger brothers and sisters..."

After saying that, Wang Na looked at Chen Shuning worriedly and asked, "Shuning, your family isn't like this, right?"

Chen Shuning shook his head and said, "My parents would never do that! I'm the youngest child in the family, and I have two older brothers.

My parents treat us all equally. Although it’s impossible to calculate every penny, it’s generally the same!

The whole family squeezes one child hard and makes her provide food and drink for other children. What kind of thing is this? "

Wang Na said with a smile: "I don't think so! In fact, sometimes I feel sympathy for Han Mei... But when I think of the things she did...

I don't feel any sympathy for her now! She just brought this upon herself! She can't even afford to eat, and she still has to provide for her family.

"With such a big family, they can't survive without Han Mei's support? Is it possible?"

Ma Lanzhi pulled Wang Na aside and advised, "Stop talking! After all, this is Han Mei's private matter..."

"Shuning won't tell anyone!" Wang Na muttered.

Chen Shuning quickly came out to smooth things over: "Let's not talk about Han Mei! I won't tell anyone about Wang Na's words. Don't worry~"

Ma Lanzhi said apologetically, "I'm sorry! Shuning, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that we can't bring up Han Mei's matter."

"I didn't think too much about it. I know you two have no ill intentions." Chen Shuning's tone was gentle.

Wang Na looked at the sky outside and said, "Enough talk, we should go! We still need to light a fire and cook when we get home!"

Every household is poor now, and Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi feel embarrassed to stay for dinner.

Of course, Chen Shuning would not try to keep him. Her family did not have enough food, so she would not try to show off.

Xu Qingshan heard the noise next door, closed his book, and got off the kang: "Jiawang, I'm going home too! The weather is bad today, so I won't come over tonight!"

Chen Jiawang also got off the kang and wanted to see Xu Qingshan off, but Xu Qingshan stopped him: "Don't come out! It's cold outside. Besides, I come here every day!"

Chen Jiawang smiled and said, "You come here every day, so I have to send you off!"

"Hey~ why are you being so polite~"

As the night deepened, dark clouds covered the sky and snowflakes fluttered down. Chenjia Village was silent, with only a few sparks giving the small village a sense of home.

Chen Erlai lay in bed, took a bite of peach cake, and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

"Uncle! You are amazing! How did you know there was food in the mouse hole?"

Wang Simin took a sip of hot water and replied, "I'm a soldier. I've experienced all kinds of hardships during the war! When we were hungry, I led the soldiers to dig out rat holes.

It was a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and I actually stumbled upon one! Er Laizi, your uncle also dug out squirrel holes! You know squirrels, right?

That little thing is really good at hiding food. Sometimes, it hollows out an entire pine tree to store its food. If we can find the squirrel's nest, we'll definitely not starve to death!"

Chen Erlai stood up and asked excitedly, "Really? Uncle, you're not lying to me, are you? I know where there are squirrels. Why don't we go there?"

"Why would I lie to you? Let's take a look at the situation. If it doesn't snow, we two will go there!" Wang Simin had a smile on his face.

He likes his current life very much. It is stable and quiet. No one disturbs him. He can sleep until dawn after eating.

Chen Erlai took another bite of the peach cake, closed his eyes and chewed it carefully. He waited until the peach cake turned into a paste in his mouth before he was willing to swallow it.

"Uncle, don't worry! The two village cadres who love to accuse others the most are now in trouble! We can have a few days of peace before the new leader comes in."

Chen Erlai now knew what it felt like to be criticized! Without Chen Honglu and Wei Chunhong, he was better off than anyone else.

"Well! Er Lazi, uncle is so old now, it doesn't matter whether you live a good life or not. You are still young! Listen to uncle, correct your bad habits, and you still have a chance to live a good life!"

"Hey! Uncle, I'll listen to you!"

For the first time in his life, Chen Erlai experienced what it felt like to be cared for. Although Wang Simin was too controlling, he loved to listen!
