Chapter 45 Warmth
Dong Yao is a public beta player. When she entered the game, her parents were with her younger brother's family and were not with them.
At home, her parents-in-law passed away last year.
Currently, besides my husband and 16-year-old son, there is only my 20-year-old sister-in-law left in the family.
So, the four of them formed a team and entered the game together.
As soon as they came in, they found that they were actually on the grassland.
There are few trees here, but there are large grasslands and many cattle, sheep and horses.
Because of the wide field of vision, I found a lot of boxes during the three-day novice period and luckily got a knife.
It was with the help of this knife that my husband Miao Shaojie and our son caught five or six sheep and obtained a lot of mutton, wool and sheepskin.
Now that the trading system is open, they have exchanged mutton for some daily necessities, as well as a lot of wood and stones.
Before dark, I upgraded the house to level 1, and finally I didn’t have to shiver in the cold.
Now, when she sees someone in the chat channel finding cotton and making their own cotton clothes, she is also very excited.
"Lao Miao, thank goodness we didn't sell the sheepskin. I bought you a good knife. Tomorrow you and Xiaoye can catch two more sheep, and Linlin and I will make clothes together. We'll try to finish four sets by tomorrow."
She has bought all the fabrics.
Miao Ye came over and asked curiously, "Mom, can you make clothes?"
In his memory, both his grandmother and great-grandmother had made clothes for him, especially his great-grandmother, who had particularly good craftsmanship.
But mom, it seems like you’ve never even knitted a sweater.
Miao Shaojie slapped his son's head hard, pretending to be angry. "What are you talking about? Your mother has a long family history of learning. Back then, your grandmother was famous for her skillful hands in the surrounding villages. She didn't even need to make a pattern. She could make clothes just by looking at them."
What he said was true. His mother-in-law was indeed famous for her dexterity.
But his wife is also notoriously clumsy.
Originally, the mother-in-law wanted to leave her job to his wife, but his wife ran away and didn't want to make clothes at all.
Dong Yao rolled her eyes vigorously. "I asked you two to do something, but you're so talkative. You're just talking too much. You might as well catch a cow if you have the energy. I've been eating mutton for several days and I stink of it."
She has always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Both father and son are used to her scolding, but they don't get angry and still smile.
It was Miao Linlin who came over and hugged her sister-in-law's arm.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know how to make clothes. Please teach me. We can make more and sell the rest."
Although they are nominally sister-in-law and sister-in-law, there is a big age gap between the two.
Miao Linlin has always regarded her sister-in-law as her mother.
Whether it is study or life, Dong Yao is in charge.
Therefore, she felt no pressure to act coquettishly towards Dong Yao.
Dong Yao also treats Miao Linlin as her own daughter.
She touched Miao Linlin's face and held her in her arms. "Linlin is so thoughtful. When I make the first cotton-padded jacket, you wear it first and let them, the father and son, keep cold."
The other two people didn't dare to say anything.
"Dad, let's go out early tomorrow morning. Let's catch more while it's not too cold. I want to eat beef too."
Miao Ye had been eating mutton for a few days and was tired of it.
However, Miao Shaojie is very aware of the abilities of his father and son.
"Forget about the cow. We definitely can't take it with our little knife. Let's just catch the sheep."
What a joke! That cow looked like it weighed several hundred pounds and was very large. If it had hit me, my ribs would have been broken.
The whole family is busy during this time in the evening.
Miao Shaojie was also studying how to tan the sheepskin. "We still have a lot of sheepskin, so why not make some coats out of it?"
Unfortunately, before entering the game, he looked at a lot of edible food in the wild, but did not learn how to process animal skins.
"Don't do it. I think this sheepskin is okay and not very dirty. If you really can't do it, just put it on and wear it." Dong Yao interrupted her husband's thoughts.
"Come and help me thread the needle. My eyesight is getting worse and worse. I can't even see the eye of the needle clearly." In the past two years, as I have gotten older, I have become a little presbyopic and can no longer do such eye-intensive work.
Miao Linlin was standing by, following her and cutting the cloth into pieces. It looked quite authentic.
Miao Shaojie didn't expect that his wife had such a skill.
"Wife, you are quite amazing. You can actually make clothes."
As soon as he said this, Dong Yao rolled his eyes at him.
"My mom has done it so many times, and I've watched her do it so often that I've learned how to do it myself. But the cut I made is just average. I'll just wear it as is, as long as the wool doesn't get tangled. But the wool needs some cleaning; it's a bit too dirty."
Miao Ye volunteered, "Mom, let me wash it. I just filled a lot of water from the pond today. I promise to wash it clean."
The whole family worked and joked around at the same time, which was quite heartwarming.
However, Dong Yao couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if my mom could come with us. This is the kind of job the old lady is good at."
But there is no way. My brother's family has four people, but my sister-in-law is an only child and it is impossible for her to ignore her parents.
All of a sudden, there were six people.
There are four people in my family, a total of ten people, which exceeds the limit for forming a team.
However, Dong Yao couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"You said, it would be great if Mom and Dad stayed with us. Dong Rui and my brother and sister-in-law, two adults, have to support four elderly people and two half-grown children. That's a huge pressure. I'm just confused. Why do they have to stay with their son?"
She rarely talked about this matter these days, but she was still a little indignant in her heart.
My parents have traditional ideas and prefer to have a son.
Obviously, their home is more suitable for taking care of two elderly people.
But they rejected Dong Yao's invitation without any hesitation.
Miao Shaojie couldn't understand his father-in-law and mother-in-law's choice, but he couldn't say much.
At this time, I can only comfort my wife.
"It's okay, Dong Rui will take good care of my parents."
Now that things have come to this, Dong Yao can only think positively.
"What kind of crappy friend system is this? I can't even search and add friends. Otherwise, I would definitely ask Dong Rui how his parents are doing."
Dong Yao is like this, always chattering but never stopping working.
After working for more than two hours, I actually made a piece of clothing.
Although the size is not right and the stitching is crooked, it is still a piece of clothing.
She picked it up excitedly and asked Linlin to try it on.
"How is it? Is it warm?"
The other two people also looked at her.
After Miao Linlin put it on, she moved her arms and found that the left side felt a little awkward, but it didn't affect her movements much.
After putting it on, although I could smell a bit of mutton, it was really warm.
"Sister-in-law, it's great. It's really warm."
She turned around and twisted her waist. "It won't affect the movement."
Dong Yao nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad. I haven't completely forgotten my craft after all these years. I'll hurry up and finish two more tonight."
They worked until almost midnight before they finished it.
Although he said that he would not give it to Miao Shaojie and his son.
But when they went out the next day, Dong Yao still gave it to the father and son.
"Don't catch a cold."
