Chapter 287 Borrowing Clothes and Shoes 3
October 18th is November 25th in the Gregorian calendar, and the wedding date is just a few days away.
Others are still working, mainly transporting manure from the cowshed to the field and spreading it evenly, while Feng Qingxue is at home sorting out the things sent by Uncle Feng, drying vegetables and going to the cellar, then washing the military uniforms and ironing them very flat, and then hurriedly making winter clothes for the children.
She and Father Lu are adults, and their body sizes have not changed much, so they don’t need to make new clothes, but the children can’t.
Brother Lu Tianjun and Feng Qingyun have grown a lot taller, and last year’s clothes are too small, and they can’t wear shoes.
Guancheng and Guanyu only came to their house this year, and they don’t have winter clothes at all. They are too busy with the autumn harvest, and Feng Qingxue has no time. The two brothers are wearing Lu Tianjun’s brother’s clothes from last year because they are shorter.
Feng Qingxue didn't treat Guan Cheng and Guan Yu as outsiders, nor did she plan to make new clothes for her family every year. She directly said to the brothers: "Tianjun and Tianzhi's clothes and shoes were made last year. They fit you well. I won't make new ones for you."
"Aunt, this is good enough."
Guan Yu is young, but Guan Cheng is not an ungrateful person. Although they are old clothes, there is no patch inside and outside. The autumn clothes and autumn pants and sweaters and trousers are washed clean before wearing. The cotton coats and trousers were also taken apart by Feng Qingxue, and the lining and the surface were washed. The cotton inside was also dried for two days before sewing, and they were no different from new ones.
Feng Qingxue didn't make new clothes for her sister either. The sweaters and trousers were taken apart and then re-woven with some wool. The autumn clothes and autumn pants and outer clothes and trousers were directly sewn with a piece of the same fabric at the cuffs of the trouser legs, and the lining and the surface of the cotton coats and trousers were also done in the same way.
Only Lu Tianjun and Lu Tianzhi really wore new clothes, autumn clothes and autumn pants, sweaters and trousers, cotton coats and cotton trousers.
Last year's clothes were given to Guancheng and Guanyu, so they had nothing to wear, so they had to make new ones.
However, the two brothers did not change all their clothes. Their outer clothes and pants were the same as Feng Qingyun's, and they continued to wear them with stitched trouser legs and cuffs. Some of them also made Lu Jiang's old military uniform smaller.
Feng Qingxue also made a set of clothes for Guancheng using Lu Jiang's old military uniform.
As for shoes, everyone got two new pairs, one pair of single shoes and one pair of cotton shoes.
They were not made by Feng Qingxue, but handmade cloth shoes she took out from the space, which were more in line with the current characteristics.
Although it was almost half a month after the beginning of winter, it was not cold enough to wear cotton clothes, but Feng Qingxue found that many people were wearing cotton clothes and cotton pants on the way to Caohu Brigade with her sister, and they were covered with single clothes and single pants for spring, summer and autumn.
Feng Qingxue pushed a bicycle with a bamboo basket hanging on one side of the back seat, and Feng Qingyun sat sideways on the back seat with his legs resting on the basket cover.
"Sister, my butt hurts." Feng Qingyun wrinkled her nose. Bicycles are not that easy to ride. She wanted to ride a bicycle before, but now she wants to get off and walk.
"Just sit. How slow will it be if you walk? When will we get to Caohu?"
Feng Qingyun pouted.
As soon as she entered the Caohu Brigade, Feng Qingyun jumped off the back seat and rubbed her butt hard.
Ma Haiyan, who came to greet the two sisters, smiled and said, "Hey, Xiaoyun, you came back on a bicycle. What are you doing?"
"My butt hurts!" Feng Qingyun looked at the back seat of the bicycle, "Sister, you should make a cushion and tie it on it, so that my butt won't hurt. I remember that when my brother-in-law came to pick you up before."
Feng Qingxue responded by patting her head.
