    "Understood, I will pay attention to it in the future." It seems that things on the bright side need to be paid attention to in the future.  Zhang Hongmei lit a candle, which happened to fit on the top of the glass bottle, so it was safe.

    Li Cuihua took the cotton cloth and touched it lovingly, "This cloth is really good, the weaving is really dense, and the color is also dyed well. This is what your father brought back?"

    "Well, there is also cotton. Originally, my mother wanted to make cotton clothes for me, but she was suddenly notified and left in a hurry, so she didn't do it."

    "It's okay, I'll do it for you. You go and get the newspaper, so I can impress you."

    Zhang Hongmei went to the warehouse to get old newspapers, these were brought back by Zhang Aiguo to paste the walls, Zhang Hongmei was really reluctant, she hadn't read them yet?  But it doesn't take much for the third lady to keep her appearance.  He also brought the needle and thread basket.

    San Niang has quick hands and feet, and first measured Zhang Hongmei's shoulder width, bust, clothing length, arm length, waist circumference, and trousers length with a thread.  In order to save the line, measure one and then measure the line with a ruler to get the size.  Once everything is measured, start cutting.

    Zhang Hongmei saw that San Niang folded the measured cloth in half, and then used a ruler to measure the length of the sleeves.  Cut the middle of one side, and cut a circle at the folded part. This is the neckline. (The description is not very precise, but my mother and grandma cut it like this.) It¡¯s really not technical, just look at it  it will be.

    "Hongmei, what do you use for the lining of the cotton coat? If you don't have one, use old clothes as the lining? It just needs to be softer."

    "I'll go to my mother's house to look around." Zhang Hongmei really doesn't want to use old clothes, but there is no suitable fabric in the space.

    Li Cuihua waited for Zhang Hongmei to take back the rough cloth and looked at it for a while, but it was someone else's stuff, and talking too much would be annoying.  But I still couldn't help saying "Hongmei, this cloth can be used as outer clothes."

    "It's okay, San Niang, there are two Chunqiu clothes, enough to wear." How can you not see Li Cuihua's reluctance?  But I don't want to hurt myself either.

    The lining of the cotton-padded jacket is cut in the same way as the face, only slightly thinner.  Zhang Hongmei watched from the side, thinking that there is no need to show off?  But looking at San Niang like this, it's hard to refuse, and it's hard to say that I will be laid off.

    Turn the rough side of the lining up and start to waft cotton on it. Li Cuihua sighed again that the cotton is good, but her hands were not idle.  The stretched cotton covers are not the same thickness, and you have to grab a piece of cotton to mend them. This way, they can be worn for many years, and they won¡¯t be stuck together like yours.¡±

    "Next, let's put the face and the lining of the cotton jacket together, under the cotton. You have to look at the front and back of the cloth and you will soon sew the four sides. First sew the cuffs. When sewing here, the stitches must be tight. After the cuffs are sewn  The bottom is to sew up all the openings. But don¡¯t move the neckline, we¡¯ll turn it over here later.¡±

    Zhang Hongmei nodded while watching, "I remember the third mother, so I'm done with this? Isn't it too fast?"

    "It's still early. After a while, the cotton-padded jacket will be turned over and the inside will be put together. You will have to thread the jacket several times, so that the cotton will not go away easily, and the clothes will look good. There is also a trick to this thread. You need to insert the needle from the inside.  The stitches must be small. If you are afraid that you will sew crookedly, use a needle to gently draw the upper line, and sew it in the center according to the drawn line. You must also bring a thimble, two layers of cloth, and a layer of cotton. The needles are not easy to penetrate.  I'll lead you to watch first, and after I've led you to try."

    Zhang Hongmei watched San Niang fly the needle and thread, and the envy in her heart was due to the wisdom of the working people.

    Li Cuihua got out of the way to let Zhang Hongmei come.  "Don't put too much distance between the two wires. It's just a matter of threading, but cotton jackets are forbidden. Yes, just draw the line here."

    Zhang Hongmei took a needle and gently drew a straight line on the cloth like San Niang, leaned forward while sitting on the kang, and sewed carefully.  When the sewing is finished, I feel sore when I stand up straight.

    Li Cuihua turned the padded jacket over and pointed to the two stitches on the face and said to Zhang Hongmei, "Look, Hongmei, you sewed this. It's pretty good, but the stitches are crooked. Just practice more. You continue to sew, and I will sew it."  Watch from the side."

    Zhang Hongmei continued to bend down to slit.  She felt that the needle in her hand was more and more able to do whatever she wanted.  This lead thread was much faster than the last one, and I turned it over to look at it after sewing. Well, at least there were far fewer crooked stitches than last time.

    Zhang Hongmei sewed a total of eighteen times.  By the end there are almost no crooked stitches left.  Straightening up, looking at the padded jacket I sewed felt quite a sense of accomplishment.  Awarded certificates and scholarships compared to my previous lifeJin is still happy.  San Niang has been watching and giving pointers from time to time.

    Looking at the watch in the space, it's almost twelve o'clock, and it's time to cook.  "San Niang, I'll go see if the noodles are done. I'll go steam the buns, and you can eat them at my house at noon."

    "No, I'll go back now. I'll come back in the afternoon. I have to lie down for a while. The more this person stays, the more lazy he becomes. If he gets used to taking a nap at noon, he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't sleep." Li Cuihua got off her shoes and was about to go home after speaking  .  Zhang Hongmei didn't persuade her either, the steamed buns couldn't be steamed in a short while, and San Niang asked her to take them back when she went back at night.

    "Three big sisters, you should sleep more, we two have plenty of time." After finishing speaking, she also went to the ground to put on her shoes and sent Li Cuihua out of the door.  When Li Cuihua was far away, she turned around and closed the door, and saw that the dough had risen, so she started kneading the dough to make steamed buns.

    When the steamed buns are ready, put them one by one in the pot, cover the pot, and then go to the firewood room to hold firewood for the fire.  When it came up, the aroma of steamed buns also wafted out.  This is pure natural and pollution-free. Although the appearance is not good, it is absolutely delicious.

    As for the dishes, scrambled eggs with green pepper shreds, hot and sour potato shreds are ready, and finally there is egg drop soup.  Dishes cannot be fried outside. If they are cooked in space, they will taste bad if they come out after eating.

    Zhang Hongmei also slept in the space for a while before coming out.  It's more than one o'clock.  Or read a book, after all, the third mother will come later, so she has to see that she has been hurrying to study.  Zhang Hongmei felt bad for fooling people like this, but it had to be like this.  It¡¯s hard to say if I suddenly know everything in the book. If the school wants me, I¡¯m planning to go directly to high school, and I don¡¯t want to spend time with a bunch of little carrots and learn from scratch.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
