Chapter 389 Making Clothes
When the farm work was over, Song Wei fished out the big turtle kept in the pond.
Lin Zhen quickly took over and dealt with it.
"There is such a big turtle, and there is still venison that I haven't finished yet. Can I invite my grandfather's family and the captain's family to come and eat together?"
They have a good relationship with these two families, and this relationship will naturally be maintained.
Lin Zhen nodded.
Song Wei asked Lin Ping'an to call the captain and the others, and she ran to her uncle's house to call someone.
Naturally, they didn't come empty-handed.
They all brought eggs, rice and noodles, and the captain also brought wine.
Most of the country people are hard-working and rarely idle. The men help wash and cut the meat, the women cook the dishes, and the children and animals at home play outside.
Some who couldn't help on the stove went to help feed the chickens and shovel poop in the deer shed...
Everyone was busy and the whole yard became lively.
When eating, men and women are divided into two tables.
The harvest is over, and with such a good meal and wine, it is impossible to justify the situation without drinking some.
"Come to Lin Zhen, I have to give you a toast. Thank you very much for my son."
Jiang Wenwu also gritted his teeth and picked up the wine: "Brother Lin Zhen, I respect you!"
Lin Zhen raised his glass: "Don't thank me. I was able to join the army thanks to you, Uncle Lei."
At the women's table, everyone was talking about Song Wei's belly.
"It's great, I got pregnant twice at once. Our brigade has only heard of the wife of Wang Laowu's family being pregnant with twins."
"Song Wei, has the baby in your belly moved?"
Song Wei nodded: "I moved it before, and I moved it again today."
"That's quite lively, hahaha... It's just that it's difficult to give birth to twins. You should move around more if you have nothing to do, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth."
They have all given birth to children and know a little bit about this.
Song Wei listened carefully and nodded.
"I know."
"You and Lin Zhen are both good-looking, and the child born will definitely be even better-looking!"
The food on the dinner table was so delicious that everyone chatted and talked without taking up their food. .
Especially children, they eat without even raising their heads.
After the autumn harvest, it gradually became less busy.
But there is also a lot to do.
Even with her big belly like this, Song Wei could hold a stool and pick corn with those little old ladies.
Let's chat and eat together.
After the public rations were handed over, the team leader organized another hunting trip into the mountains.
Song Wei didn't go this time, Lin Zhen went.
Everyone brought their family dogs.
Following the tracking of Wolf One and the others, they also brought back a lot of prey from the mountains this time.
There were two wild boars alone, then a sika deer, two roe deer, and several small prey such as pheasants and hares.
When the hunting team returned, they were greeted by cheers from the entire group.
Finally there was meat to eat again.
"It's so enjoyable. Captain, let's go into the mountains again!"
The captain glared at the young man.
"What are you thinking about every day? Going in once a year becomes greedy."
"The prey in this mountain also need to be cultivated. If we go in too many times, we will destroy the balance of the mountain, and we will be punished."
The hot-blooded young guys were immediately extinguished by the words of their elders.
"Got it."
Everyone divided the meat and went home to cook happily.
Song Wei didn't go to divide the meat, but was staring at the chicken at home. Their chickens are laying eggs!
Looking at the small egg in her hand, she smiled and rolled her eyes.
When Lin Zhen came back, he couldn't wait to show Lin Zhen the little egg, which was a little bigger than a pigeon egg.
"Lin Zhen, look, our chickens have laid eggs!"
The yard here is large, and there is a special place for raising chickens. They also raise thirteen chickens.
There are eight hens and five roosters.
All eight hens have laid eggs one after another in the past two days.
Lin Zhen: "Well, you can eat as many eggs as you want from now on."
Song Wei muttered: "Am I that greedy?"
Well, it is indeed a bit.
"It's useless to keep so many roosters. Let's eat one some other time."
Lin Zhen suddenly felt dumbfounded. He was still holding meat in his hand, and his wife was craving for chicken.
"Anything works."
Song Wei chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed herself.
But my mouth is greedy.
I'm getting hungry very quickly now.
Song Wei eats more and more. In addition to regular meals, she also eats a lot of fruits and snacks every day.
But apart from her big belly, she didn't gain much weight.
It probably has something to do with the amount of exercise she does every day.
In addition to exercising every day, Song Wei suddenly thought of children's clothes.
It's not easy to buy children's clothes here, as most of them are made by yourself.
Rural women can do some handicrafts.
Song Wei has finally learned how to make clothes, but she hasn't done it yet for children.
She only remembered this after the eldest grandma brought two pairs of beautiful little tiger-head shoes.
The tiger-toe shoes were very small, no bigger than her palm, and they looked delicate and cute.
Song Wei thought about how the fat baby looked wearing small shoes. Those feet were so small and quite cute.
"The children's clothes are ready, can you do them?"
Song Wei shook his head: "I haven't made children's clothes yet."
"Come, let me teach you. It just so happens that you have a sewing machine at home."
Song Wei rummaged around to find softer fabrics at home, and her grandmother began to teach her how to make baby clothes.
"So small?"
Song Wei looked at the small clothes that looked like a hand-made doll with a look of surprise on her face.
The grandma said cheerfully: "The newborn child is only a little bit bigger, but he grows up quickly, but the child's clothes must be prepared. The child will easily get his clothes dirty when he poops and pees. , I guess I need to change at least twice in one day.”
That's right, there were no diapers at this time, so we all used diapers.
The diapers are made of cloth, but they are not as absorbent as diapers.
So diapers must be prepared as a backup.
It's convenient to have a sewing machine. It's much faster than sewing stitch by stitch. It didn't take long for the old man to make a small outfit.
"Try it yourself."
Song Wei nodded, sat down and tried to make a small outfit himself.
Baby clothes can be worn by both men and women, so there is no need to distinguish between men's and women's styles.
Song Wei simply did what the twins did, and got two of the same color and style.
"You can make your own clothes at home, and I'll make some shoes for you when I go back."
Song Wei nodded. These shoes were exquisitely made. She, a novice with only some sewing skills, couldn't make them.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, grandma. You can take these cloths back."
"What are you doing for me? You two children won't be able to use it by yourself in the future?"
Song Wei pressed on: "This is the defective cloth Lin Zhen bought. No one in our family is suitable for this color. We still have a lot of cloth at home. You can take it and make new clothes for you and grandpa."
