Chapter 149 Learning to Knit a Sweater
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it’s early November in a blink of an eye.
Ling Yun has been in Yao Township for more than a month. His poison was completely cured half a month ago. Ning Xi has been helping him recuperate his body for more than half a month. After more than half a month of recuperation, Ling Yun has gradually recovered.
The thin body became strong. This was the last time Ling Yun came to Ning Xi. Today, Mr. Ling also came.
Ning Xi took Ling Yun's pulse and wrote two prescriptions and handed them to Ling Yun, "Young Master Ling's body is fine. These are two prescriptions for making medicinal meals. I have written down how to make them. After I take them back, I will have them cook them every three to five times." You can eat it yourself or your family.”
Ning Xi looked at Mr. Ling who was sitting next to him, "Mr. Ling, you can also try it and eat it once a week."
"Xiao Ning is interested." After more than a month of getting along with each other, Mr. Ling is no longer as shy as when they first met. Now he looks much more approachable. Also because Ling Yun has regained his health, the smile on his face A lot more, too.
Ning Xi smiled slightly, "It should be."
Ling Yun put away the prescription and asked, "Ning Xi, will you come to the imperial capital next year?"
"need."
“Contact me before you come, and I will pick you up. You will take care of our grandson and grandson here. When we get to the imperial capital, I can also fulfill my duties as a landlord.”
Ning Xi only thought that Ling Yun was talking politely and did not take his words to heart. She asked with a smile, "Mr. Ling, are you leaving today?"
Mr. Ling smiled and replied, "Yes, I will leave in a moment. I have been out for more than four months and want to go back early. Have you made a copy of your household registration book?"
Ning Xi took out the copy she had prepared and handed it to Elder Ling. This was what Elder Ling had asked her to prepare before and take it back for the property transfer.
Mr. Ling glanced at Old Wei, who immediately understood and put a large black cloth bag on the table. When the bag was put down, Mr. Ling continued, "Xiao Ning, this is the 300,000 yuan I promised before. I will have the house transferred to your name immediately after I return, and I will mail the property certificate and keys to you after the process is completed."
Ning Xi smiled nonchalantly, "Don't go to such trouble. Once it's done, just hand it over to my husband. He serves as a soldier in the imperial capital."
"That's fine. Write down which district your husband is a soldier in and what his name is. I'll have someone send it to him when the time comes."
Ning Xi agreed, picked up a pen and paper and wrote down Lu Nan’s address and left it for Mr. Ling.
After saying a few words to her grandfather and grandson, Ning Xi sent them out. The car was already waiting outside.
“Ning Xi, thank you.” After getting into the car, Ling Yun lowered the window and said to Ning Xi.
“I’ve already received the reward I deserve.” So there’s no need to thank you.
When the car drove away, she turned around and returned home. Ning Xiuhe was sitting on the balcony knitting a sweater.
"Mom, you can also knit a sweater." Ning Xi walked over and sat on the stool and pulled the sweater to look at it. The sweater had just begun to grow. It was only about an inch long. The color was pink and tender. It didn't look like it was for Ning Xiuhe. Woven.
"I learned it from an older sister when I was working outside." Ning Xiuhe took the sweater and gestured at Ning Xi's background. "Winter has arrived. I will knit you two sweaters first, and then I will buy some thread for the two little guys." Knit some.”
"Mom, teach me to knit!" Ning Xi can't say that she is omnipotent. She learned a lot of life skills in her previous life in order to survive, but she really doesn't know how to do things like sweaters. Mainly because there was no one around her to teach her at that time. She later had no chance to learn because she was too busy.
“What do you want to learn? Read your book carefully. If you like a sweater of any kind, mom will knit it for you.”
"I want to knit it for Lu Nan. I knit it myself and he will be warmer." Ning Xiuhe glared at Ning Xi unhappily, "Mom can make more money by knitting it for him."
"That's not what I mean. The sweater I knitted by myself is called the Love Brand Sweater. When he gets the sweater, he can immediately feel my full love for him. He can even chat with others while wearing the sweater I knit for him. This is My wife knitted it.”
Ning Xiuhe made a gesture of wiping her arms, "Hello, love brand sweater, you girl, why are you talking so disgustingly? It makes my skin crawl. Go to my room and get a pair of needles. Take them out and I will teach you how to knit."
Even though Ning Xiuhe said that her daughter was disgusting, she was very happy in her heart. Being happy for her daughter and son-in-law was what she wanted to see most as a mother.
There are more than twenty sticks and needles on the table in the room, large and small. The sticks and needles of this era were all made by myself from bamboo strips.
No wonder, no wonder my mother’s hand had a cut here or there a few days ago. When I asked her, she just said that she accidentally scratched it, and she scratched it there. It was obviously scratched by bamboo strips for making a stick needle.
Ning Xi's eyes were red. She knew that her mother did this to make up for her, to make up for the maternal love she had lost.
But there is no need at all, because she has never blamed her, because she knows that her original intention of leaving her at home is to hope that she will live well, because she knows that her mother is not ignoring her, her mother is working hard to make money and use the money. Raise her, but at that time, her mother didn't know that all the money she earned went into Ning Dalong's pocket.
"Xi'er, haven't you found it yet? There is a circle of black thread in the cabinet. Take it out and roll it up. It will be just right for Xiaonan to weave."
"Okay." Ning Xi responded, quickly wiped her eyes to wipe away the tears that had not yet fallen, found wool from the cabinet, and walked out with a needle and stick.
Under Ning Xiuhe's guidance, Ning Xi first rolled the wool into a ball, then picked up the stick and needle to start the needle.
Knitting a sweater is more difficult than imagined. It's either too tight or too loose. Every now and then, a stitch will drop out, and a few stitches will be added for no reason.
Ning Xi tried over and over again, weaving and dismantling, dismantling and weaving, but couldn't weave anything decent all morning.
This was a big blow to her. She thought she was quite smart, learned everything quickly, and was very good at making snacks. How could she be defeated by a little sweater guy.
“Mom, this is too difficult.” After another failure, Ning Xi went crazy and put down the stick angrily, “I won’t learn anymore.”
Ning Xiuhe smiled softly, "Don't you want to knit a love brand sweater for Xiao Nan? Don't you want him to wear the sweater you knitted everywhere?"
"…"Thought.
So a certain girl picked up the needle again and reached out to touch her swollen belly. "Baby, let's work together to knit a sweater with a love brand for daddy."
“Take your time and wait until you learn it. I’ll cook first.” Ning Xiuhe stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Ning Xi glanced at the sweater in Ning Xiuhe's hand. Ning Xiuhe was knitting very quickly. She had already knitted a long length in the morning. At this rate, she could finish a sweater in a week at most.
She also wants to work hard and try to knit a sweater before next month.
It usually snows in the Imperial Capital at the end of December. If she can knit the sweater in early December, it will be ready for the winter when it arrives in Lu Nan's hands.
