Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

The old lady of the Zhang family looked at the big bag of cotton in front of her and was so happy that her mouth couldn't help but open and then curl up, her face full of smiles.

Touching the white and soft cotton with her hands, she felt full of satisfaction. The old lady of the Zhang family knew how cold the weather was in winter, and the cotton would be of great use.

Making cotton-padded clothes can keep children from getting cold, and making cotton shoes thicker can prevent children's feet from freezing like a swollen radish.

Add some more cotton into the quilt and have a warm bed to sleep in at night. Even if it is cold, windy and snowy outside, you will feel warm in the quilt. This is happiness.

Zhang Jialiang was stunned. This was the first time that he did not receive any care from the old lady of the Zhang family. The old lady ignored him as soon as she came in, with only the cotton in her eyes.

Watching the old lady stroking Cotton with a smile on her face, Zhang Jialiang felt helpless. He didn't expect that he would lose to Cotton. It seemed that Cotton was loved by the old lady more than her own grandson.

Not only the old lady is like this, but everyone in the family is like this.

When the mother, eldest sister, fourth sister, sixth sister, seventh sister and eighth sister came home one after another, they ignored everything else and looked at the pile of cotton with surprise and excitement on their faces, as if they had seen some rare treasure.

"Liangzi, where did you get all this old cotton?"

Wang Shujuan was very curious about the origin of the cotton. It was no wonder that she was curious, not only her but the whole family. There was just too much cotton and it was too precious.

Their family has always treasured cotton and was very frugal when using it. Of course they were shocked to see such old cotton. The women in the family were all looking at Zhang Jialiang, waiting for his answer.

"I got it from the garment factory. I was helping Section Chief Ma with some work. When I was done, he asked me what I wanted.

At first I didn't know what to order, but then I thought it was almost winter and the weather would get cold, so I thought of getting some cotton to make cotton clothes for my family, so I ordered this cotton.

It seems that you are all very satisfied. I did nothing wrong, right? "

Zhang Jialiang's words were somewhat boastful. In fact, his original purpose was to go for cotton. It was not at all like what he said now, as if he didn't care about cotton at all.

As for showing off and being vain, everyone has this in spades. It is not a big flaw as long as it is not excessive.

"Yes, you did the right thing. It was absolutely right!"

There were 8 women in the room with 16 eyes looking at Zhang Jialiang. After hearing his answer, 8 of them nodded at the same time, affirming Zhang Jialiang's smart decision and giving him full praise.

"Brother, you are so awesome!

Does this mean I will have new cotton-padded clothes to wear this year?"

Zhang Jiali reacted the fastest. When she saw the cotton, she quickly thought of cotton clothes. She ran over and grabbed Zhang Jialiang's arm with an excited look on her face.

"Yes, when the time comes, let your eldest sister, second sister and fourth sister help make clothes together. Then the whole family will have a new cotton-padded jacket, and of course you will have one too."

Zhang Jialiang was not surprised by Zhang Jiali's reaction. New clothes were the most attractive to Zhang Jiali among everyone in the family. She loved new clothes and she loved to show off.

"Uncle, you are awesome!

Do I need new clothes too?"

Xiao Lanhua, who originally had no feeling for cotton, now finally knows that cotton represents new clothes. Influenced by Zhang Jiali, Xiao Lanhua now also loves to show off and loves new clothes.

She ran over quickly with her short legs. She was too short to reach Zhang Jialiang's arm, so she grabbed his trouser leg, raised her little head, stared with her big eyes, and waited for Zhang Jialiang's affirmative answer with anticipation.

"Yes, Xiao Lanhua also has new clothes. If I don't make clothes for others, I will make a new cotton-padded jacket for Xiao Lanhua. When she wears the new cotton-padded jacket, she won't be cold in winter."

After hearing this, Little Lanhua became excited. She clapped her hands, jumped up and down, and started shouting around the room.

"Oh, I have new clothes to wear! Oh, I won't be cold in winter anymore!"

The family members were already very happy because of the cotton, and now with the addition of the small orchids to set the mood, they became even happier. Then they started discussing what the cotton should be used for and how to use it more reasonably.

"Jiamei, go call your second sister over. She will have to help you make the cotton-padded clothes, and you can give her some cotton when the time comes."

Zhang Jialiang began to instruct Zhang Jiamei to call Zhang Jiani back as well, as Zhang Jiani would definitely be the main force in making clothes.

However, Zhang Jiani is not the only one in the Zhang family who can do needlework. In fact, Wang Shujuan, Zhang Jiazhen, and Zhang Jiaxiu can all do needlework, but they are not as proficient as Zhang Jiani.

Zhang Jiani cannot make so many cotton-padded clothes by herself, so they have to divide the work and cooperate.

"Sister, make one for your brother-in-law when the time comes."

Chen Xiaoguang has been married to my eldest sister for some time. During this period, he has been behaving well and is very nice to my eldest sister and Xiao Lanhua. He also has a good relationship with the Zhang family.

He often helped with work and gave away a lot of things. At least since Chen Xiaoguang came into being, the Zhang family never had to buy soy sauce or MSG again, and they never ran out of them.

It's not just Chen Xiaoguang, it's Zhang Jiazhen too. She works in a cannery and has good benefits. The Zhang family has eaten a lot of canned food.

And my second sister went to a garment factory and brought back a lot of fabric.

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. This is a common phenomenon in factories nowadays.

"Your eldest brother-in-law has a cotton-padded jacket, so he doesn't need to make one this year."

Zhang Jiazhen felt that it was not good to take things from her mother's house. She never had such a habit. So it was like this, and it is still the same now.

"I've seen his tattered cotton jacket. It has holes in it and there's not much cotton inside. He'll be freezing in the winter.

Don't refuse, just listen to me!"

Zhang Jialiang had seen Chen Xiaoguang's tattered cotton jacket, which did have some holes in it and was also quite thin.

The elders of the Chen family don't care about him, but now he and the eldest sister are a family. Even for the sake of the eldest sister and Xiao Lanhua, Zhang Jialiang has to be nice to Chen Xiaoguang. Besides, Chen Xiaoguang is a good person.

“Okay, since your brother has made the decision, Jiazhen, don’t refuse anymore.

Your brother brought back a lot of cotton this time, and with so many people in the family, it’s not a big deal to make one more piece of clothing.

Don't worry about it, Xiaoguang is our son-in-law and we are a family."

The old lady of the Zhang family made the final decision.

In the following days, everyone in the Zhang family who could make clothes got busy. As the weather was getting colder, they had to hurry up and make cotton-padded clothes that they would use right away.

The Zhang family tried their best to cover it up and didn't want other people in the compound to know. However, after making cotton-padded clothes for so many people, they later decided to take apart and wash the old ones, and use the old cotton inside to make the quilts thicker. This caused a big commotion.
