Chapter 19 New Clothes!
"Ning Ning must be so smart because she was self-taught. What's the fuss about it? She used to be bullied by her grandma and didn't like to talk to us. It's normal if we don't know her well."

Jiang Nanmu explained to Ning Ning very politely, after all, he was the one who knew Ning Ning's little secret.

Presumably this painting was also taught to Ning Ning when she was dreaming.

"Yes, I saw the words on the customized sign yesterday, and I drew it like this on a whim."

Jiang Ningning followed what the second brother said, and couldn't help but praise him in her heart.

"How much is this painting?" Jiang Nanmu moved the stool to sit on her side, and asked curiously.

"Five yuan, I'll give it to someone first, you look at the store." Jiang Ningning folded the paper and put it in the pocket of her jacket. Her hands hurt from the rough fabric friction.

Then he looked down at the dusty pants on his body, they had been patched several times, and they were shortened a lot.

She took some money from the cabinet under the pig's large intestine and decided to buy new clothes for the whole family!

Brother Jiang stared blankly at her back, doubting her life. He didn't expect that just a few words would be so valuable!

Brother Jiang also had a complicated expression, and the younger sister was even more powerful than he had imagined.

Jiang Ningning first sent the painting to the shop owner, got ten yuan, and then went to the shop on the street to look at the clothes.

The style is far behind that of later generations, but some fabrics are not bad. First, she picked out two bolts of soft fabric for her father and three brothers in a men's clothing store.

I also picked two more brightly colored horses for myself and my mother, and went back to the shop after paying the bill.

She remembered that there was an old sewing machine at home, which had been piled up in a corner and had not been touched for a long time. It was what her mother would bring when she just married.

Jiang Ningning decided to surprise the eldest and second brothers by not telling them all about buying cloth for them to make new clothes for them. As soon as the evening came, she would go home with those cloths and her own notebook and pen.

She came back with such a big bag, Li Lan'er hurriedly stepped forward to help carry it.

"Ningning, what are these?"

"Cloth, used to make clothes, these belong to my father and brothers, mother, you can make them for them, the red and black are mother's, and the pink and white are mine."

Jiang Ningning evenly distributed the cloth inside the bag.

"How much does it cost? In this way, each of your three brothers will keep one piece, and your two pieces will also be kept, and the rest will be refunded first."

Li Lan'er was both happy and worried, she hadn't bought any new clothes since she got married, and today her daughter came back from shopping for fabrics, it's fake that she's unhappy.

It's just that in the current situation of their family, she is afraid that the children will be burdened by buying so much fabric at one time to open a shop outside.

"No, I can't refund it. Don't worry, mom, our store business is doing well now."

Li Laner was dubious, "Really?"

"Of course! Soon our family will be able to buy our own bicycles, so don't feel bad about cloth, let's make clothes." Jiang Ningning nodded her head vigorously.

Li Lan'er smiled helplessly, and couldn't bear to disappoint her, so she took out a tape measure and measured it for her, and wrote down the data.

She went to the room and turned on the sewing machine, but because it hadn't been used for a long time, the plastic bag covered was covered with dust.

"I'll make it for you first. Your father and brother are not at home, and I don't know the size. Ningning, do you plan to make the white ones into a top or pants?"

"Shirt, Mom, you wait first." Jiang Ningning ran to the living room to bring in her notebook and pen and put them beside the bed, half squatting and drawing on them with the pen.

Soon, a short white blouse with puff sleeves and a round neck and trousers appeared in the book.

She showed it to her mother, "I want to make the top and pants like this."

"The pants are fine, but I haven't seen the sleeves of the jacket, so I don't know what to do."

Li Lan'er frowned. The clothes and pants in the picture really look good together. Could it be the new style sold in the town?But her family Ning Ning's painting is so good, it really makes her amazing.

"It's okay, I'll teach you how to do it." Jiang Ningning wanted to do it herself, but she didn't know how to use a sewing machine.

"Row."

Under the guidance of her daughter, Li Lan'er successfully knitted one sleeve, not to mention, it is really beautiful, especially the flower-shaped side.

Li Lan'er is good at sewing machines, but with a few pointers, she becomes more proficient.

Jiang Ningning didn't need to stand beside her for guidance. She simply drew the pattern of her mother's clothes. She painted her trousers as flared trousers of later generations, and drew some lines on the neckline of her jacket. She could cut out some rags to sew go up.

By the time she finished drawing it and showed it to her mother, her blouse was almost finished.

Jiang Ningning gestured casually, and felt that the size was about the same. Mother originally planned to drive her pants out, but it was getting late.

The voices of father and third brother came from the yard, and they went out of the room.

"Dad, third brother, you are back."

"Ning Ning is also at home." Although Jiang Guorong was tired all over, but seeing his daughter, the fatigue in his heart was reduced a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I just forgot the time to make clothes, I'll cook for you." Li Laner said and was about to go to the kitchen.

"It's okay, Mom, you continue to make clothes, and I'll cook." Jiang Xiangyang said while washing his muddy feet.

"Okay, then cook. I'll finish Ningning's pants, and she can wear them tomorrow."

Li Lan'er didn't shirk it either, she thought the clothes looked good just now, her family Ning Ning had never worn new clothes when she was so old, and now she finally bought cloth, she wished she could make it for Ning Ning to wear immediately.

Jiang Ningning also went in. After her mother finished making her trousers, she tried them on and found that the size was just right, so she took them off and planned to change them after taking a shower!
The whole family gathered around for dinner, and Li Laner talked about how Ningning bought cloth for everyone to make clothes.

Jiang Guorong's eyes were not only moist, "Ning Ning has this kind of filial piety. I work every day and get covered in mud. It's a waste to wear good clothes. You can do it and wear it."

"I bought everything, that color is only suitable for you, one set for each person, don't shirk, don't disappoint Ningning's kindness, come over after dinner and I will measure the ginger for you."

Li Laner's tone was unquestionable. After the toffee just now and last time, she probably knew Ning Ning's stubbornness. It was impossible for Ning Ning to return the things she bought or let Ning Ning eat alone.

If the husband really didn't want it and made it for other sons to wear, maybe Ning Ning would be very sad.

"That's right, the new clothes need to be worn by the whole family." Jiang Ningning also smiled at them holding a small bowl.

Jiang Guorong couldn't help but also smiled, "Okay, then wear them together."

"Thank you, little sister." After Jiang Xiangyang thanked him, he lowered his head and picked up the meal, feeling a little hopeful in his heart.

The word new clothes...had never had anything to do with him before, he always wore other people's leftovers.
