Chapter 207: Starting to Make Clothes
What are you drawing?

Lin Miao picked up the sketch that Ji Sisi was holding. The sketch showed a swaddle blanket and a small hat.

Ji Sisi is currently drawing a bodysuit with a drawstring neck and an open crotch.

The styles aren't particularly novel, but the patterns on the clothes and blankets are cute.

"So cute! Can you manage to draw so many all at once? And I feel like something's missing."

Looking at the drawing, Lin Miao quickly realized what was missing.

"Sisi, why don't you have any diapers?"

Thinking of this, Lin Miao then suggested, "Why don't you meet with Aunt Shen and make up?"

"Why did you suddenly say that? The topic changed way too quickly."

Ji Sisi paused, waiting for Lin Miao to continue.

"You have to rest and recover after giving birth, and you can't touch cold water. Who will wash the baby's diapers? You can't be too tired after giving birth."

"If you ask me, make up first, have someone come over and help take care of the kids, and then call them back later, since you two live far apart anyway."

Ji Sisi laughed out loud, "Isn't this a typical case of using someone when you need them and discarding them when you don't? Besides, how could you possibly think she's the kind of person who would willingly wash my child's diapers and get up in the middle of the night to soothe the child?"

Shen Wanqing's excellent skincare routine must be inseparable from getting enough sleep and taking good care of her skin.

Besides, even if Ji Sisi were to do it herself, she wouldn't want to see Shen Wanqing again.

Shen Wanqing didn't have to do anything; just watching her was enough to upset Ji Sisi. She was genuinely worried that she would develop postpartum depression.

"That's true, kids are really good at causing trouble."

"You don't need to worry. This isn't just my child. If I can't do it, then we'll wait for Qi Yan to come home from get off work and do it. Someone will always do it."

Ji Sisi doesn't plan to use cloth diapers exclusively. She plans to buy disposable diapers at the mall during the day while she's at home taking care of the child, and then use cloth diapers when Qi Yan takes care of the child at night.

Lin Miao nodded in agreement, "That's true, but Qi Yan is so busy. If he doesn't have time, I'll come and help you."

"Great, then you'll definitely be the child's godmother."

"Of course, otherwise who else would be competing with me for this position?"

As she talked, Lin Miao began to think about what gift to buy for the child.
-
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and all the clothes that Ji Sisi had drawn before had been made.

Li Hongying happened to be on holiday and took the opportunity to bring the factory's documents to Ji Sisi.

As soon as I entered, I heard Lin Miao's praise.

"You're so skillful! These clothes are so cute, they make me want to have a baby."

Lin Miao held the small clothes, never expecting that Ji Sisi had been making so many for so long. She only realized how many there were when she took them out to wash them.

In just half a month, I made six sets of clothes and a swaddle blanket.

Lin Miao was starting to worry about Ji Sisi's sewing machine; it was practically a machine that had to be operated from morning till night!

"Dr. Lin, if you want to have a child, find one as soon as possible, don't just talk about it."

Li Hongying entered the house.

"Sister-in-law Hongying, stop teasing me. Let me tell you, you're even busier than Sisi these days."

“How can I compare to her? When I was pregnant, I only went out to work in the fields, I didn’t do any heavy work.”

Li Hongying placed the leather bag on the table. "These are the monthly reports from each department. Everything is fine in the factory, so don't worry too much. You'll have to take care of things later."

"Okay, I'll take a look later." Li Hongying was also drawn to the clothes on the sofa. "Did you make all of these?"

"Yes, I watched her make it every day. Sister Hongying, don't you think it's beautiful?"

Li Hongying picked one up and exclaimed, "Wow, how are you so skillful?"

"Is there anything Sisi can't do?"

Li Hongying picked up a few other pieces to look at, saying, "Even the tailors in the clothing stores can't make clothes as well as you. You're so good at making clothes."

Judging from the overlock stitching, it's clear that this wasn't done by a novice; it must have been done by a skilled veteran.

Ji Sisi doesn't look like someone who makes clothes at home, but I didn't expect the clothes to turn out so beautifully.

"This new material is hard, so you need to scald it with hot water first, wash it several times, and after washing and drying it will soften it. Then you can put it in the cabinet and take it out to use it directly."

Li Hongying is always busy; after looking at the clothes, she went to the kitchen.

"You can use this firewood. Clothes and diapers won't dry easily in winter. Sisi, have Qi Yan put some firewood in the stove and then seal the opening. Then you can put the half-dry clothes on it, and they'll be able to see through them in a little while."

Li Hongying began sharing how to take care of children in winter.

"You don't need to go to the county town anymore. I'll bring it back to you tonight. If you want to buy anything, just write me a list in advance. When Master Shi goes to the county to deliver goods, I'll have him bring it back to you tonight."

Ji Sisi agreed, as it was indeed convenient and easy.

As she spoke, Li Hongying started to light the fire, got up and added water to the pot, "It just so happens that I have a day off today, so let's all work together to wash and dry the clothes. The sun is shining brightly today, so we can put them away once they're dry."

“Sister-in-law, you rarely get a day off, so go back and have some fun. I can do this little thing for you.”

The factory only has one day off per week, so Ji Sisi didn't want to take up Li Hongying's time.

"What's so fun about home? I'd rather chat with you guys and do some things together."

Now Li Hongying is used to having someone to talk to. Although everyone is focused on their own work in the workshop, they all do their rest and meals together.

Now that she's all alone, she feels a little uneasy.

"Sisi, aren't people from your family coming to keep an eye on things?"

Li Hongying knew Shen Wanqing and had given up hope, but she still hoped that someone would stay by her side to take care of her after giving birth.

"Forget it, it would be better to let Qi Yan take two more days off to come back, or work from home, it's all the same."

Lin Miao disagreed, and besides, she knew Ji Sisi's situation; she had practically no one from her family.

"I'll take care of Sisi then."

“My family doesn’t have much left now. They’re just some distant relatives we don’t keep in touch with, and we can’t be bothered to talk to them. We can handle these things ourselves.”

Li Hongying didn't say anything more, she just kept stuffing fire into the stove.

"Time flies, the winter solstice is next month. It's so cold here in winter, Sisi, you need to take care to keep warm and not just worry about the child."

If a pregnant woman experiences any problems, she can only endure it and cannot take any medication indiscriminately.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, there are plenty of warm clothes in the closet, you definitely won't get cold."

After speaking, Ji Sisi looked up at the snow-capped mountains outside the window. Because of the drop in temperature, the snow on the mountaintop was now much whiter than when she first arrived, and snow had also begun to appear on the mountainside.

"On the winter solstice, I'll buy some mutton and we'll get together to eat some mutton to warm ourselves up."

Happy National Day everyone! We're welcoming a seven-day holiday!
