Chapter 157 We Believe in You
Xiao Baoer looked at the stitches of the quilt sewn by her aunt, and found that it was no worse than those of Xiao's mother and Shen's mother. Moreover, her aunt was a person who did things efficiently and effectively, so her sewing speed should be quite fast.
Xiao Baoer felt that her aunt was a very suitable person, and she had just asked Shen's mother and Liu Ying about the temperament of her aunt's daughter-in-law, Zhao Niuniu.
Both Shen's mother and Liu Ying have a very good opinion of Zhao Niuniu. She has never had any quarrels with her aunt-in-law in all these years since she got married. She has also taught her children well and is very filial to her grandparents. Every time she goes back to her parents' home, she always thinks of her grandparents if there is anything delicious and tries to bring back a portion for them.
And there is one particularly good thing about Zhao Niuniu. She is not talkative and won't gossip like those gossiping young wives and old ladies in the village. She just does her own thing quietly. She is also clean and efficient, so she is very suitable.
Xiao Baoer has also paid more attention to Brother Fugui's wife recently. She is indeed similar to what Shen's mother and Liu Ying said. She never talks much and just smiles and says hello every time she sees her.
Xiao Baoer felt that even if it was because his uncle and aunt were filial to their grandparents, they should be given the opportunity to choose first. If his aunt and Zhao Niuniu wanted to do it, then let them do it. If they didn't want to do it, then find someone suitable.
Now there were no outsiders around, so Xiao Baoer didn't beat around the bush and said to her aunt, "Aunt, I have something to tell you. It's like this. I designed a batch of clothes some time ago, and my mother and second sister-in-law have been helping me make the clothes. I pay 50 cents for each piece of clothing."
"I heard your mother mention it. What's the matter? What's the problem?"
"No problem, auntie. My mother and second sister-in-law are making cakes now. They need a lot of cakes, so they don't have time to make clothes. Are you and sister-in-law willing to do it? I will still give you the same labor fee as I gave to my mother and second sister-in-law."
Xiao Baoer felt that although they had a close relationship, she still had to make it clear what needed to be said and make the premise clear so that the subsequent cooperation would be more pleasant.
In fact, the aunt-in-law had heard that Shen's mother had had this idea when she was making clothes, but she was always embarrassed to tell Xiao Baoer. Now that Xiao Baoer took the initiative to bring it up, she was naturally overjoyed and agreed decisively.
"Of course that's good. Your sister-in-law and I are just sitting around doing nothing at home. This winter, the family has no way to make a living. If we can sew clothes, our family will have a better life."
In fact, my aunt-in-law just wants to make life better at home. Besides, the old lady and the old man are old, and she would feel guilty if she didn't take good care of them.
Xiao Baoer looked at Zhao Niuniu who was playing with Sanbao and asked her, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
She smiled politely, "I listen to my mother and do whatever she tells me to do."
The aunt-in-law has always been satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She is never busy at home, never causes trouble outside, and is very efficient at work.
Xiao Baoer was in a good mood after the matter was settled. She smiled and said to the two of them, "Aunt, sister-in-law, let's settle this matter. Come to my house tomorrow and I will teach you how to read the design drawings. There will definitely be no problem cutting out Aunt."
Xiao Baoer also mentioned the requirements set before, including the quality and size of the sewn clothes, which must be strictly required, otherwise there will be punishment. The aunt-in-law and Zhao Niuniu gave assurances again and again, without any ambiguity.
"Aunt, sister-in-law, my wife trusts you and brings our family to make money. Please don't say too much in front of outsiders."
Shen Zhensheng knew that if the people in the village knew that they could make money by sewing clothes, they would definitely flock to his wife. In order to avoid such trouble, he decided to give his aunt and the others a heads-up in advance.
"Don't worry, we know, the Third Brother's family, we trust you. Auntie knows that you care about us and want to help us. Auntie knows what's going on."
The aunt was very touched that Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng had always been thinking about them, and she was the first to believe them when there was a good opportunity. She also knew that part of the reason was because of the old man and the old lady, so she would definitely be more filial to the two old people.
After the matter was settled, Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer took the children back home. Their father and brothers would come to deliver furniture and cakes in a while.
When they got home, the family ate red bean dumplings with milk flavor. Xiao Baoer was getting hungry easily now. Although she didn't eat much each time, she ate a lot at several meals. The three children and Shen Zhensheng would also eat a few bites.
After we finished eating, my father and brothers arrived. "Dad, brother, this is just right. Here are some red bean dumplings that Zhensheng just cooked. Let's eat some before unloading the furniture."
Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng knew that they would come over today, so they cooked a little more red bean dumplings and kept some for them. Drinking them is just right for warming up the body.
Shen Zhensheng took the small pot off the stove and served a bowl to each of them. The four brothers ate with smiles on their faces. When they heard that they had to come to their younger sister's house to work, they ran faster than the other, for fear that if they ran too slowly, they would not be able to do the work at their younger sister's house.
The main reason is that the food at my younger sister’s house is so delicious. Even the ingredients for the sweet soup are very complete. It warms the body and stomach when you drink it. In the cold winter, it is so comfortable to drink a bowl of it.
Even Xiao's father likes the food at his daughter's house. Every time he comes, he doesn't feel shy about eating what his daughter gives him. But next time he comes, he always brings some small things for the three children.
After the meal, Shen Zhensheng and his four brothers went to the new yard to buy shoes and furniture. Xiao Baoer talked to her father alone about making pastries and decided not to make clothes for the time being.
Xiao Baoer made everything very clear, so that Xiao's father could explain it directly to Xiao's mother. She could talk about the details in detail with her mother and sisters-in-law next time she went to her mother's house.
Xiao Baoer's family already knew that she was pregnant with twins. They were all happy for her. With five children, she could stand tall in her husband's family. Moreover, Xiao Baoer herself was so capable, so her husband's family would pay more attention to her.
He also told Xiao Baoer many times that she didn't need to run so often to avoid catching a cold. If she had any problems, she could just let her father and brother pass on the message. So Xiao Baoer told her father everything and she only went to her mother's house once every four or five days.
After giving the money for the pastries last time to Father Xiao, and then loading the flour and other materials needed for the pastries onto the cart, Father Xiao and his brothers left together. They went home to divide the profit from the pastries and arrange the quantity of pastries to be made tomorrow.
During dinner, Xiao Baoer told Shen Zhensheng that they needed to find someone to make clothes because his aunt and daughter-in-law could not make such a large quantity.
Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer thought the same thing and felt that Aunt Song Yun was suitable. First, she and her daughter-in-law had separated, and only her youngest son lived with her and the captain's uncle, so there wouldn't be so many troubles.
The other is that Aunt Song Yun is straightforward and efficient, and she doesn't have so many twists and turns in her mind, so I feel more at ease.
