I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.
Chapter 49: Change to 2 Meals a Day
As she sewed, she said, "Before sewing the quilt, you have to sew one stitch from the inside out. This stitch is to cover the thread ends."
"Put the needle in from the vertical point on the edge again. This time, just hold the cotton, lift the needle up, and then remove the needle from the front. Pull the thread, and the stitch is done. Use this vertical stitch method to sew all the way around the quilt."
"Grandma, do you always use such a big needle when you sew quilts?"
"This is because using a large needle to sew the cotton sheets is less likely to leave marks on them. Secondly, it is also because we will use the arch stitch method to guide the threads later. You will see it later."
After she finished speaking, Grandma Liu skillfully sewn the needle and then pulled the thread. She soon sewed a quilt.
"Now we're going to thread the quilt. The threading is done by pulling the needle out from under the quilt and inserting it about a centimeter apart. Sew the cotton and then bring it up. This time, you don't have to sew once before threading the quilt. You can sew a few stitches to thread the quilt, and then tidy it up. If you continue sewing like this, it will go very fast. If you're sewing a quilt on a bed, you need to pay attention to one detail: hold the bottom layer of the quilt with your hands to avoid getting caught in the sheets. My grandmother sews on bamboo boards now, so there's no such worry."
"I understand, grandma. Let me try on the next quilt."
"Okay," said Grandma Liu as she finished the last stitch.
She went forward to help her grandmother fold the quilt and carried it into her room.
When she came out and prepared to work hard, she found that they had spent quite a while sewing the quilt and her aunt was calling them to eat.
At the dinner table, my second aunt said, "When I went out to pick wild vegetables today, I heard Erniu's mother say that her family now eats two meals a day."
"Who says it's not true! In fact, there are already many families in the village who eat two meals a day." The aunt also said.
"The drought started before last year's autumn harvest, and everyone's harvest was poor. If it hadn't rained a few times this year, we wouldn't have been able to do spring plowing." The uncle also spoke out.
"Everyone's worries are actually correct. Although there have been a few light rains this year, if the crops don't grow well like last year, we will still go hungry." Second uncle also began to worry.
"Although our family has more land than most families, we are not in such a situation yet. But we cannot be the exception. Starting tomorrow, we will also eat two meals a day." Grandpa Liu also sighed and instructed his family.
Although they still have some food stored at home, if the harvest is really bad this year, their family will not be able to get by well.
Grandpa Liu's words were unanimously agreed by the family.
At this time, Liu Xiaoxiao also remembered the scene she saw in the space, and took the opportunity to remind her family, so she said: "Grandpa, if there is really a drought, then shouldn't we store more food now?"
"The last time we went to dig bamboo shoots, I remember there were still a lot left. Why don't we go and dig them up sooner? We can dry them and make them into dried bamboo shoots to store. If the drought continues, we'll still have something to eat. If the harvest is good this year, we can also sell them."
"I agree with what my second sister said. After all, dried bamboo shoots can be kept for a long time. Plus, the sun is quite strong now, so I believe they can be dried." The eldest brother said in agreement.
"The wild vegetables outside are growing wildly recently. We can go dig some more and make pickled vegetables." Daya also actively suggested.
Seeing that everyone was thinking of ways to store more food at home, Grandpa Liu felt proud. This is how united his family is.
"Okay, let's do as everyone says. Let's take the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots that can be stored home and store them."
The family meeting at the dinner table ended successfully.
After dinner, Liu Xiaoxiao finally learned how to sew a quilt under the guidance of Grandma Liu. Although her hands were pricked a few times while sewing the quilt, she still felt a sense of accomplishment.
