Chapter 144: Why don't we make a shoe face?

  Plum Blossom had always been a girl who didn't like to talk much, but now she was saying so many words in front of so many people, which was really a bit difficult for her.

  Fortunately, she had been forced by Guihua to practice it several times already, and finally managed to say it.

  This made Chu Zhenghai even more stunned, and he stood there for a while before muttering: "No need, you guys keep the fabric to make some shoe covers or something! I still have clothes to wear, don't need new ones."

  As he spoke, Chu Zhenghai turned around and walked into the main house.

  It was Xu Shi, who had been sitting on the ground in a daze, who suddenly came to life after hearing these words. She quickly scrambled to her feet, not even bothering to brush off the dirt on her clothes, and began shouting: "What do you mean by 'don't want it'? Why shouldn't my son give me something? Plum Blossom, come over after dinner to take measurements, don't forget! Don't keep us waiting!"

  Xu said after finishing, only then thought of patting the dust on his body, and also turned around to walk towards the main house.

  As soon as Chu Lishou mentioned making new sweaters for his parents, Lu Shi's thoughts immediately became active.

  Although she rarely makes clothes on ordinary days, she also knows about the amount of clothing.

  With those two pieces of cloth, if they were to make new clothes for the six members of the Chu Lishou family, and then make two new undershirts for the old master and mistress, there would still be enough left over to make some undergarments for the four members of their household.

  Lu also didn't think that Mo and the others would make new sweaters for themselves, but if they could make something like a belly warmer or shoe covers, it wouldn't be bad either!

  At the thought of his shoes, Lu couldn't help but lower his head and take a look at his own feet.

  Alas, I don't know why this shoe is so useless on my own foot.

  Obviously wearing the new shoes with Mo and Yu, but the two people's shoes on their feet are still fine, and their own pair of shoes have already exposed their toes.

  Luckily there were socks lining them, otherwise it would have been a real exposure.

  Taking another look at the socks that were exposed, Lu's subconscious moved her toes and she couldn't help but think to herself: If only I could change into a new pair of socks! The socks on my feet now seem to be the ones we all changed into during Chinese New Year.

  Listening to Mei Hua's crisp response to Xu Shi's words, Lu Shi also hurriedly ran out of her own house.

  Just as Madam Xue was sitting on the ground and crying, Madam Lu had already sneaked back to her own house in fear that Madam Xue might accidentally hurt herself. So she came running out of her own house again at this moment.

  "Plum Blossom! Plum Blossom!" Mrs. Lu shouted as she ran towards Chu Lixiu's house.

  Plum Blossom was about to enter the house to continue helping Mo Shi collect things after responding to Xu Shi's words, but she heard someone calling her name and stopped in her tracks, turning around to look at Lu Shi.

  Lu saw that Meihua had stood firm, and her heart was delighted. She hurriedly continued to shout: "My dear niece! Second Aunt knew you were a thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket!"

  For Lu's praise, Mei Hua felt very unaccustomed and even a bit chilled.

  "Plum Blossom, Second Aunt is looking at the fabric in your house and it's not a small amount. Except for making clothes for the six people in your household, and also making undershirts for your grandfather and grandmother, there should be quite a bit of leftover material! Look at Second Aunt's shoes, they've been broken for some time now. Your needlework is good, why don't you make a new shoe upper for Second Aunt?"

  “……”
