Chapter 247: Chapter 249 Flicking Tail to the Sky_Part 1
In the afternoon, Tan Zhenghong and Sun Erhu went to tidy up the homestead, discussing to first get the cellar in order.
Farm households depend on the heavens for their sustenance, and when the harvest is poor, they rely on the grain stored in the cellar to survive, so the cellar is very important.
Qiao Duo’er wanted to help, but Tan Zhenghong refused her with a sentence, "This isn’t women’s work."
In the following days, Qiao Duo’er went up the mountain to pick mushrooms in the mornings, and in the afternoons, she sewed clothes at home together with Chao Lian. She hoped to find more white fungus, but she didn’t even catch a glimpse of a shadow on the vast mountain.
However, Qiao Duo’er understood: rarity is the precursor to treasured value.
So, she didn’t just focus on white fungus; finding it last time was a matter of good luck, but how could such good fortune happen every day?
Seeing that Qiao Duo’er and Chao Lian had started making new clothes, Hu’s Clan also pulled out some fabric, preparing to make new clothes for Da Ya and Er Ya.
Her sewing wasn’t very good, so she could take the opportunity to learn some skills from Chao Lian and Qiao Duo’er.
The three of them got together for sewing, and time passed quite quickly.
Chao Lian was used to these tasks, and by the third day, she had finished Sun Erhu’s clothes.
"Once it’s done, take it to Erhu quickly; he’ll definitely be happy for several days," Qiao Duo’er wickedly said, her eyes full of teasing.
Now that Chao Lian and Sun Erhu met often, even going to set up a stall in town together, their relationship was developing rapidly.
It was estimated that it wouldn’t be long before good news arrived.
Chao Lian said with a blushing face, "Sister-in-law, you’re too mean, making fun of me."
"How is this making fun? We’re all hoping for the best for you two," Hu’s Clan said with a smile.
She had always treated Chao Lian and Qiao Duo’er like her own sisters, and seeing them happy made her happy too.
In truth, she envied the harmonious relationships she saw in others but just envied them. Now her heart was entirely focused on her two girls.
Qiao Duo’er firmly agreed: "Erhu has no clothes to wear; you should hurry and take them to him, otherwise, if he ends up running around naked one day, you’ll be too late to regret it."
"What bad things are you two saying about me?"
Sun Erhu poked his head in and asked; he had to go to town that evening, so he returned home earlier in the afternoon.
He had just heard his name, so he came to join in the fun.
"Chao Lian has made you a new set of clothes, you should take them and try them on," Qiao Duo’er said matter-of-factly, making Chao Lian instantly blush.
Sun Erhu swaggered in, his smile more radiant than flowers, "Thank you, Chao Lian."
"The fabric was bought by the sister-in-law, I just sewed it; you should thank the sister-in-law," Chao Lian said, her head lowered.
Sun Erhu amiably replied, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
However, he kept looking at Chao Lian while speaking, his intense gaze as if he wanted to devour her in one gulp.
"I just bought the fabric, there’s no need for thanks. It was Chao Lian who put a lot of effort into your clothes. You better try them on quickly, don’t fail to appreciate the girl’s kindness," Qiao Duo’er joked.
Sun Erhu handled the clothes carefully: "I’ll wear them after I take a bath."
He was dirty at the moment; how could he bear to wear new clothes?
And most importantly, this was the first set of new clothes Chao Lian had made for him!
After a while, Sun Erhu appeared, looking smug.
Seeing his demeanor, Qiao Duo’er suddenly thought of a saying—that if you gave him a tail, he would surely wag it to the sky.
"Chao Lian, you’re amazing. You know my size so well!" Sun Erhu complimented. But why did it feel like his words were flirtatious?
Chao Lian meekly explained, "I...I don’t know your size; I just took one of your old clothes to compare."
