Chapter 290
The Han family and Xu Nanshan had also heard about that incident, and they beat Ah Huang terribly that time.This young lady doesn't care about dogs so much, will Si'er be bullied by her when she marries?Both of them couldn't help feeling worried.

Seeing them all looking at him nervously, Qiulin couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Father and mother, don't worry about it. Brother Xia Yan's eldest sister is married, and her married daughter can still take care of her family's affairs? Besides, your daughter and I are not vegetarian, even if she comes back to me occasionally Noisy, can I still let her bully me?" As the saying goes, can she manage the affairs of her mother's family because of the water thrown by her married daughter?
Xu Nanshan from the Han family thought about it carefully, and felt that Qiulin's words were not unreasonable, so he nodded and said, "Yes, we are not afraid of her! She is going crazy and troubles her in-law's family, what else can she do to her mother's family?" Thinking of this, Han felt relieved.

On the second day, Matchmaker Liu brought Xia Yan's Geng Tie over, and pressed it under the ancestral tablet for seven days, and there was no abnormality in the family, and this much-anticipated marriage was settled in this way.

Until the marriage was completely settled, Qiulin still seemed to be in a dream.All of this happened too fast, it was only a moment in a trance, she and Xia Yan hadn't even had time to talk about their relationship, but they had already made a firm engagement on their marriage.Reality is reality and there is no room for hypocrisy.Qiulin was filled with emotion.

As the saying goes, one autumn rain and one cold, after several autumn rains, the weather is getting colder every day.In winter, the farmers have nothing to do except order wheat, so they are very idle.Farmers in the village always gather together in twos and threes to play cards to pass the leisure time.

At this time, Mrs. Han kept Qiulin at home and taught her how to do needlework.In the past few years, she had put her mind on Qiuyue, but now that Si'er is engaged, it's time for her to learn how to be a female worker.This winter, Mrs. Han taught everything from shoe soles, shoe insoles, needlework, clothes making to quilt sewing.Qiulin didn't want to learn either. Who would want to sit on the bench all day without moving?

It's just that she couldn't hold back Mrs. Han, so she just picked up needlework and started to learn.Qiulin also put his heart into learning, but in a few days, he learned how to use the soles of shoes to make insoles.In fact, there is nothing clever about these things. The most important thing is to be careful and clever.

The first step is to prepare "hundred papers" for the soles of shoes. The so-called white papers are made by dismantling and pasting fabrics from old clothes and bed sheets.Soak all the dismantled fabrics in the paste, then pick up the fabrics and stick them flat on the thin wood chips. After four or five layers, it will be ready. Then put it in the yard to wait for the cold wind to dry. After that, it became paper for making shoes.

Then according to the size of the foot, cut out the shoe pattern on other paper, and then sew the shoe pattern on the white paper, cut the white paper according to the shoe pattern, and cut the cover after cutting. The paper needs to be covered with a new layer of cloth, and the surrounding area must be wrapped with this new cloth.This is how you can start threading the needle and threading the sole.As the sole is so thick, it is necessary to wear a thimble on the hand, so as to be effective.When inserting the sole, start from the periphery of the sole first, and apply force evenly, and arrange the stitches neatly. All in all, ensure that the surface of the sole is flat and not uneven.

To make the shoe upper, you can use two layers of old cloth to paste it into paper, dry it and fold it in half, cut out the shoe upper according to the shoe pattern, paste the new cloth on the inner layer, and paste the better-looking cloth on the outer layer to make the shoe upper, and then cut out the shoe upper. A layer of base cloth is placed in the middle of the upper and sole, and stitched together with needles and threads, so that a pair of cloth shoes is ready.

At the very beginning, Qiulin sewed the stitches crookedly, making it impossible to wear them to meet people.But later, the situation gradually improved, and now she can make a decent pair of shoes.

On this day, she happily went to Xia Yan's pharmacy, and couldn't help but ask Xia Yan to take off his shoes and print the length and width of his feet. After printing, she kept it in her mind, and hurried back, and started to do it for Xia Yan with great interest. cloth shoes.

Now it's early winter, and the weather is very cold. Thin cloth shoes are not enough to keep out the cold, so Qiulin made the cloth shoes a little bigger, stuffed a layer of cotton stitching in the lining, and put insoles inside.On the day when the work was completed, Qiulin hurried to the pharmacy with the new pair of shoes in her arms.She couldn't wait for Xia Yan to wear the cloth shoes she made herself.

Xia Yan put on this pair of shoes that Qiulin personally made for him, and the warmth went from the soles of his feet to his heart.Although the shoes were still a bit crappy, making his feet sore, but he was already grinning from ear to ear.

Qiu Lin walked around him a few times, seeing that these shoes fit Xia Yan's feet perfectly, he felt a sense of satisfaction spontaneously.

After that, she gradually learned to do other needlework, even making clothes.Anyway, there is nothing to do in this winter, so she went to the town to buy some fabrics and cotton, and came back with great interest to make cotton coats for everyone.

Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw the little girl who was interested in needlework.You must know that you were forced to learn this sewing work from your mother at the beginning, but now she can't let go of the clothes, and she even said with pride that she would sew a new dress for everyone.

The two of Qiuyue and Han family smiled helplessly. With such a few people in the family, she still has to sew for Xia Yan, when will she be too busy.I'm afraid that this year is over, and her clothes haven't been finished yet, right?In desperation, the two had no choice but to sit down and quietly help Qiulin sew clothes for everyone.

The clothes of the head of the family, Qiuyue Qiulin, are made brighter and more eye-catching, and the look is also popular nowadays.Han's color is a bit darker, but he looks good too.It's easy to get rid of a few men in the family, basically the same flower shape and style, just the size.

Qiulin was filled with emotion again. Whether it is ancient or modern, women's clothes are of various styles, while men's clothes are only a few styles and flower shapes.But in this way, women's clothes will easily become outdated, and men's clothes will not be worn for five or ten years.

Of course, Qiu Lin didn't forget to make a set of clothes for Xia Yan. In addition, she also made a cloak from the fur of the rabbit she hunted at home last year.The style is simple and elegant, Xia Yan can't put it down.This was specially made by Qiulin for him, how could he not like it?

In addition, she asked Xia Yan to go back and measure his father's height, as well as the length and width of his feet.Xia Yan's family has no female relatives now, so these things must be bought in a tailor's shop.It is easy for those tailors who make this kind of winter shoes and clothes to cut corners.Put less cotton in the cotton coat, it will not be warm on the body.The cotton-padded clothes and shoes had to be made by myself to keep warm and fit close to the body.
