Chapter 249 Mid-Autumn Festival Eve 1

Wang Jiao may think she is stupid because she has never done needlework, but in fact, she is not stupid at all. Under Feng Qingxue's guidance, she quickly learned how to use a sewing machine, how to cut clothes and sew them, how to button, how to sew soles, and other basic skills. She also cut the shoe pattern in a very good way.

Although the stitches are crooked, loose and dense, and the buttons are not delicate, she finally learned it.

She learned the fastest and best at knitting sweaters!

Feng Qingxue picked up the needle and knitted a few circles. It is a new pattern that does not exist at present, but it will be very common in the future. She doesn't know what it is called. After knitting with this needle method, the sweater will present a shape of small flowers side by side, unlike the current flat knitting method without any patterns.

Wang Jiao looked at it for a while and thought it was beautiful, so she wanted to learn from her, and she got the hang of it quickly.

There are four bamboo knitting needles on the two-finger-wide sweater. This is the reason why Feng Qingxue is knitting. Three needles are used when starting to knit. The extra one is used to knit the sweater. When knitting, the extra needle and the one of the three needles are used to shuttle back and forth. After one needle is finished, the next needle is continued.

Wang Jiao knitted loosely and tightly at first, and the small flowers were big and small, which was very ugly. Finally, she took it apart and knitted it again.

After a few days, Wang Jiao learned it. She knitted quickly and well, with a good balance of tightness, not worse than Feng Qingxue's knitting.

"I will take the wool back and knit it myself. If I can't finish it, I will come to you to help me." Wang Jiao now feels very accomplished and wants to wear the sweater she knitted to get married.

At that time, she can proudly tell those who say that she has never touched the water of spring water that she knitted it herself!

Sweaters are not knitted by everyone who wants to knit them. A good cook cannot cook without rice. If you can't buy wool, how can you have the opportunity to knit a sweater? If you haven't knitted a sweater before, of course you won't be able to knit one!

"Okay!" Feng Qingxue didn't refuse. She calculated the time and the busy farming season was about to begin.

Even if she was pregnant, she had to work. She also had to take care of the meals of the old and young at home. How could she have the time to continue knitting sweaters? Wang Jiao was willing to take it back, so she naturally had time.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Last time Zhang Yuejin said he would come to give my parents a festival gift today."

Feng Qingxue was stunned. Isn't it almost August 15th?

Although Zhang Yuejin and Wang Jiao were not married, the marriage was already decided, and the wedding date was also set in the late autumn and early winter. According to the current customs and rules, he had to give a festival gift to his father-in-law, otherwise it would be hard to say whether the marriage could continue.

The older they were, the more they cared about these things. They didn't care about the amount of things. After all, there was a shortage of supplies now, but they had to make this trip.

Feng Qingxue was thinking whether she should go to her mother's house. There was no one to visit her mother's house, but her uncle and aunt helped her arrange the wedding, and they also took care of the vegetable garden at home. She should go, even if she only gave two pounds of flour and one pound of fruit. Uncle and aunt Feng and the elders and villagers of Caohu Brigade would not say that she was ungrateful.

When she talked to Father Lu about it at lunch, Father Lu said, "You should go, you should go, you should go! They are your uncle and aunt. Don't say that they arranged the wedding for you. Even if they didn't, according to the old rules, a married niece should go to her uncle's house when she goes back to her mother's house for the first time to give a festival gift. Isn't this your first time to go back to your mother's house to give a festival gift? You should go. I don't know what we have now. You can pick two good things by yourself, so as not to make people laugh at you in the first year."
