Yanyan was attracted to Maisui. She saw Maisui wearing a plaid coat, donning a bright red scarf around her head and wearing a ponytail instead of the pigtails that the people of the countryside tended to have. It looked strange…
But Maisui didn’t feel shy. Instead, she was gorgeous as she held a book in her hand to read to Erwang and Lin Lan. No one knew what Erwang said in response, but her smile was so bright and sunny.
Maisui was always beautiful, but now that she was neatly dressed and had her temperament especially changed by Lin Lan, she was gorgeous. She was generous and well-spoken with clear eyes and a bright smile. She looked beautiful no matter from which angle.
The adults looked at Han Qingsong and Lin Lan before gazing at the sewing machine. Some of the girls stared at the Maisui and some at Erwang, praising him for being such a handsome student, while the boys stared at the toys in the hands of Dawang and Sanwang!
Things that could only be seen in pictures and heard of from the mouths of educated youths were actually true!
How could anyone not be jealous?
“Dawang, come here and play!” The boys started shouting.
Dawang looked at Lin Lan.
Lin Lan smiled and said, “Go ahead and play. You must pay attention to safety when playing with a slingshot. Be careful about hitting people and don’t cause damage. Otherwise, be careful about your father’s whip.”
Sanwang, “We know, mother,” He pulled his Eldest Brother and tried to climb out of the back of the cart.
Dawang was already holding the cart edges with his hands and he jumped down easily before carrying Sanwang down.
Sanwang also wanted to bring Xiaowang with him, but found that he was already immersed in music again, so he ignored him.
Although Xiaowang liked to play with them, if he was immersed in his own world for a while, the others would not be able to call him back.
Xiaowang was playing the newly learned piece from ‘The White-Haired Girl’, which was a bit difficult to play, but he persevered.
In the crowd, Caihua took Yanyan’s hand and said, “Stop looking at Maisui, you must be more promising than her. All she has is a pretty face.”
There was a huge crowd gathered, all eager to see the sewing machine that Han Qingsong and Dawang had brought back. They wanted to touch it, as if just touching it would bring them good luck.
It’s a pity that Han Qingsong was not very kind and he was even more impatient when he was busy, so no one dared to stop them from heading home.
They took the sewing machine and placed it in front of the kang in the west room, but they had to move a vase outside to make room.
After buying the sewing machine, Maisui was most happy since she could finally make her own clothes.
“Mother, let me help you make clothes from now on!”
Lin Lan smiled and said, “Okay, Second Brother will help me cook and Sister Maisui will help me make clothes. Mother will be free of worries in the future.”
At this time, Caihua pulled Yanyan in. She was well-behaved and shy but could not hide her curiosity. She said, “Maisui, we also want to see the sewing machine.”
