In the age of rebirth, the female supporting role was cleaned up again

Chapter 25
Shen Yuzhen looked at the floral cloth, feeling very happy in her heart.

From childhood to adulthood, regardless of winter or summer, the clothes she wears are made of old coarse cloth that her mother twists into strips of cotton wool and spins them into threads every year, and then asks grandma to help pull the loom. Basically a single navy blue or black.

Moreover, when Grandma Fang was spreading cotton on the fabric just now, she touched it quietly. The fabric is fine, soft, and extremely comfortable. It is completely different from what she usually wears, and the bright color, let alone Her family is rare even in the village.

She likes it very much, whether it's the soft fabric, the bright colors, or the little pink flowers, she likes everything very much.

Shen Yuzhen was extra careful when looking at the third brother today, really protecting her all the time, until she saw Grandma Fang finished stitching on the coat piece and was about to sew it up, she couldn't help being stunned.

Grandma Fang folded the piece of cloth into a large piece, and the cloth, which seemed quite large at first, suddenly became much smaller.

"Grandma, the jacket has been sewn so much, it must be too small." Shen Yuzhen reminded anxiously.

"No, I measured it according to the clothes with small sleeves. This jacket will only be big or small." Grandma Fang rubbed the needle on her hair with a smile. Just as she was about to continue sewing, she suddenly realized something and looked up. Seeing Shen Yuzhen's stiff expression, she looked a little unhappy.

"Yuzhen, what about this jacket? Yulin refused to go to school and had to pull up the sleeves. I persuaded Xiaoxiu to let her go to school with Yulin. I promised her. Otherwise, I wouldn't make it for her. I will change it in another year. You have enough cotton for the year, and grandma will make it for you when you have spare money, huh?" Grandma Fang hurriedly comforted Shen Yuzhen, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable.

It is also true that the food in the cafeteria can't be full now. Fang Youshun bought food almost immediately after receiving her monthly allowance, and asked her to secretly cook food for the adults and children at night to fill their stomachs. Otherwise, if there is any money left, It is also impossible for her to just make new clothes for Shen Yuxiu.

"Then Yulin is going to school well now? It doesn't matter if you don't make it for Xiaoxiu?" Shen Yuzhen still wants to fight for it: "Grandma, look, it's a pity to sew such a big fabric, just according to the original size When I sew it up, after I wear it smaller, it’s the same if I wear it with smaller sleeves, isn’t it always like this in previous years?”

Grandma Fang was a little uncomfortable at first because she didn't expect Shen Yuzhen to say this, but she never thought that Shen Yuzhen would say this, so she suddenly became a little unhappy, and didn't agree with what Shen Yuzhen said at all.

"This is what I promised Xiaoxiu, and what I promised, I naturally have to do it, otherwise Xiaoxiu will not believe me as a grandma in the future." Grandma Fang sewed a cotton-padded jacket, her tone was a little calm.

"What can she do if she doesn't believe it? She's still so young, so she forgot about it a while ago." Shen Yuzhen retorted nonchalantly: "This fabric is so big, and it takes so much sewing to wear it for her. What a waste."

"It can't be wasted. I sew so much of this dress, so that I can wear it next year if I let go of some small sleeves, and let go of a little fabric every year. The small sleeves can be worn for many years." Grandma Fang was a little annoyed by Shen Yuzhen's words, and directly He raised his head and asked her: "Besides, why do you have to wear clothes that are too small and have sleeves? Why can't she wear a new dress? Does it mean that every year from now on will be the same as it was in previous years?"

Shen Yuzhen was taken aback by the question, and it took a while before she said, "But, aren't all the children in the village like this? After the older children have finished their clothes, the younger ones will wear them."

"Everyone in the village is like this, so do you have to be like this? Is Xiaoxiu just like this? Are those people yours?" Grandma Fang was a little impatient with her entanglement, and her gaze became sharper.

Grandma Fang was a little annoyed, angry that the child could ignore Xiaoxiu's loss of trust in her grandma for a piece of clothing, and how sad Xiaoxiu would be because she didn't keep her promise.

If Shen Yuzhen was just a three-year-old today, she wouldn't be so angry.But Shen Yuzhen is already 12 years old this year, she will be thirteen soon, and she will be engaged in two years, yet she is still so ignorant.

Shen Yuzhen had never seen Grandma Fang like this before, she was frightened for a moment, and sat there in a daze, not daring to say a word.

"Mother, Yuzhen is still young..." Seeing that Shen Yuzhen was a little frightened, Fang Yan hurriedly opened her mouth to adjust the atmosphere, but was also mercilessly sprayed by Grandma Fang.

"What's so small? Have you forgotten what you were doing when you were her age? I have taught you since you were a child that our family's clothes can only be worn by the elders when they are finished wearing the smaller ones?" It was not polite at all: "No matter how difficult our family used to be, I asked you brothers and sisters to wear old clothes all the time, and didn't make a new one? You haven't made a new one for Xiaoxiu all these years. , are you not guilty at all?"

Fang Yan was so speechless that she didn't dare to refute a word, and she couldn't refute either.

Yes, it was difficult for her family in the past, but when Grandma Fang made clothes for her and her elder brother and younger brother, she would just cut the fabric bigger and sew a lot for them to wear at first, and then every year Put it down a little, until they wear too small, and the clothes should be rotten and can't be mended anymore, so she and her brothers and sisters always only wear their own clothes and don't wear anyone's old clothes.

But when it was her turn to be a mother, she thought it was troublesome to tear apart the seams, so she simply made it into a big one that could be worn, and then finished wearing the big one into a small one. She really didn't do as well as Grandma Fang. Damn.

"I told you before that you can't just make new clothes for the older ones and not the younger ones. It's easy to raise the child's temperament alone. Look at it now..." Fang Yan didn't dare to retort. The tone didn't go down yet, but when she saw her daughter lowering her head lower and lower, she forcibly held back.

In front of the children, she had to save some face for her daughter, who is a mother, otherwise Fang Yan might lose even a bit of dignity in front of the children.

Grandma Fang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, picked up the needle and thread angrily, and sewed the padded jacket again.

Seeing that Grandma Fang finally stopped talking, Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and continued making the padded jacket in her hand in silence.

She felt that since she found her own father, her mother's temper became more and more serious.

Seeing that even her own mother had been scolded, Shen Yuzhen also did not dare to say anything, but she felt aggrieved in her heart.

After the new house is built, she also wants to move here. After all, the house has glass windows and plaster on the walls. The house is spacious and bright.

But her parents didn't mention letting her move here, and her grandma and grandpa didn't invite her, so she couldn't find an excuse to live here.Originally looking at this flowered jacket today, the grievance in her heart has dissipated a little bit, but who would have thought that it was not made for her at all.

Yes, her family's clothes have always been worn by her with small sleeves, but the clothes before are all made of coarse cloth, how can it be as fine and beautiful as the one in Grandma Fang's hand?
Why do you have to give Xiaoxiu this kind of good fabric for the first time at home?

Why should Xiaoxiu live in a new house and wear a new jacket?
