The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 155

　　The cold air from the north is howling, and the temperature is getting lower every day.

　　Zhu Wanwan bought some mulberry silk and came back to make padded jackets.

　　They made padded jackets last year, but at that time they only made one thick padded jacket per person. Now that the weather is a bit hot to wear, Zhu Wanwan plans to make a few thin ones this time, as well as silk vests without sleeves.

　　Farmhouses near Shanghai all raise silkworms, and the price of silk is not expensive. Therefore, people in good conditions here, such as quilts and padded jackets, are filled with silk, which is light and warm.

　　The silk for this padded jacket was bought by Zhu Wanwan. When she bought it, it was a handmade padded bag made by a farmer. She and Mu Changyu pulled it apart, and it turned into soft silk.

　　While Zhu Wanwan was doing it, she also taught Mu Changyu what to do.

　　"Mother, what a waste of time to spend on this!" Mu Changyu didn't want to learn.

　　Before her brother taught her to read, she was passionate about sewing, after all, she had nothing to do at that time, but now, she doesn't like sewing anymore.

　　With this skill, it is better to read more books.

　　As for what to do in the future if she doesn't know how to make clothes... She can definitely find someone else to do it for her.

　　In the past, Zhu Wanwan will definitely let her daughter learn a little bit, otherwise she won't even know how to make a padded jacket in the future, what will she do when she gets married? But now she just said: "Aunt Qi and Aunt Hong helped to make the outer covers of these cotton-padded jackets. How much time did it take us to pull the silk? What's more...we can recite English while pulling. "

　　As Zhu Wanwan spoke, she recited the "Essays in English" written by Mu Qiong, which she had put aside.

　　"..." Mu Changyu could only recite along with him.

　　Today is Sunday, Mu Changyu is on vacation, and Zhu Wanwan has returned home early, the two of them made the cotton-padded jacket first, and then started cooking dinner.

　　Fish in summer will have a muddy smell, but when the weather cools down, the fish will be delicious. When Zhu Wanwan went grocery shopping today, she bought a pot of rice field eels that were even more delicious, and other things——Mu Qiong invited Fu Yun'an to dinner at home today, and she planned to show off her talents.

　　Braised eel in brown sauce, sweet and sour fish, pork ribs with salt and pepper, braised pork, stewed chicken with mushrooms, fried vegetables... There are seven or eight dishes on the table.

　　Zhu Wanwan was halfway through cooking, and Mu Qiong brought Fu Yun'an here.

　　A few days ago, Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an were very busy.

　　Mu Qiong has to practice martial arts with Huang Yang and the two, and he also needs to find the materials needed to write new articles and take care of the monthly education magazine. As for Fu Yun'an, he has to be busy with the hospital.

　　But now, they are almost busy, and it is precisely because of this that Mu Qiong invites Fu Yun'an to eat at home.

　　He and Fu Yun'an have established a relationship for a long time, but they have not been very close. Seeing that the parents met at the orphanage, this is not very good.

　　When Fu Yun'an came in, he brought a lot of things, including some supplements such as donkey-hide gelatin and longan, as well as some clothes and jewelry.
