64 -1 Half a Year_2

The clothes she wore now were all made by her sister-in-law, which, although no different from what others wore, somehow stood out more brightly when she put them on.

Lin Xiaoguai nodded, “I just have one sleeve left to finish, and then I’ll add something to the hem, and it’ll be ready.

After this, I’ll make a white skirt to go with it for you to wear when you start vocational school.”

The styles of clothing at the time were quite simple, with only a few variations, so she focused her attention on the cutting and embroidery.

She actually wanted to make herself a Qipao, but wearing one in those times was too flashy; even the more conservative, modified styles would attract disapproving comments.

Shen Xiu listened and felt happy, but also a bit nervous, “I don’t even know if I can pass the entrance exam.”

She had decided not to take the high school entrance exam and aimed for nursing school instead, enabling her to enter the workforce sooner.

Her family had tried to persuade her otherwise, but she felt that even if she went to high school, she might not get into university and couldn’t always trouble her sister-in-law for tutoring.

“As long as you perform at your normal level, there won’t be any problems.” Because she had been tutoring Shen Xiu and Jiang Xiaomei all along, Lin Xiaoguai was very clear about their academic levels.

However, for Jiang Xiaomei to get into a university this year seemed a bit unlikely, she wasn’t even confident about making it into a college.

“Ah, Little Niangao is awake!” Shen Xiu exclaimed suddenly.

Lin Xiaoguai looked over, and sure enough, Little Niangao, with eyes as big as grapes, was smiling at her and happily reaching out for her to hold him.

Lin Xiaoguai’s gaze softened as she picked him up and kissed his forehead, “Is my little treasure awake?”

Little Niangao became more excited, flapping his arms and legs as he climbed onto her, succeeded, and then flashed a gummy smile before planting a kiss on Lin Xiaoguai’s chin.

Lin Xiaoguai kissed his chin, and he returned the kiss, continuing the cycle, both mother and son thoroughly enjoying the game.

Feeling left out, Shen Xiu suffered in silence.

Her sister-in-law often said they spoiled Little Niangao too much, not realizing that the person who spoiled him the most was his mother.

“By the way, Xiu’er, did you send the frostbite cream to your third aunt?” Lin Xiaoguai suddenly remembered and turned to ask.

If she had to say what she had gained in the last six months, it was maintaining a good relationship with all the Shen Family’s relatives except for grandpa.

Lin Xiaoguai was a very smart person, and though her character made it difficult for many to become close to her, maintaining a friendly but not too intimate relationship was not a problem for her.

“Yes, I did.” Shen Xiu smiled, “Third Aunt even called to thank you, saying that the frostbite cream was a huge help.”

Third Aunt Shen Minshu worked in the freezer of a food factory.

Even though she could wear cotton-padded clothes, her hands still suffered severe frostbite after long periods.

Making frostbite cream was a simple task for Lin Xiaoguai, yet it earned her gratitude.

Why wouldn’t she do it?

Shen Xiu found her sister-in-law to be particularly magical, skilled in making handmade soap, frostbite cream, tailoring, embroidery, knitting, cooking…

How could anyone be so talented in so many things?

“That’s good,” Lin Xiaoguai said softly, while she changed her son’s drool-soaked bib with a new one.

“Sister, grandma said Little Niangao is starting to teethe?” Lin Xiaoguai chatted with her nephew as she asked.

“It’s still early, it’s just that his gums are a little white.” Lin Xiaoguai felt her son’s nappy, then suddenly realized one of his shoes was missing and frowned, “Where’s the other shoe?”

Shen Xiu looked and, sure enough, the nephew had a woolen baby shoe in alternating blue and white stripes on just one foot.

She couldn’t help but admire inappropriately how delicate and beautiful the things her sister-in-law made were.

Lin Xiaoguai had already started searching, her gaze focused, landing on the corner of the table, “There it is.” It probably came off while her son was crawling.

Shen Xiu picked it up and put it on her nephew, poking his face and saying, “Little Niangao, you’re too naughty!

Don’t crawl under the table in the future, what if you bump your head?” However, her tone was very gentle, without any harshness.

Little Niangao was an active child, always full of curiosity about unfamiliar things, and had crawled all over the front and back yards of the house.

Lin Xiaoguai, however, preferred to secretly follow behind him and protect him rather than restrict his movements.

It wasn’t indulgence, she just felt that a child’s nature should not be suppressed.

She always believed that only a child whose nature was allowed to develop could achieve the most and live the happiest life.

“Ee-ah…” At this moment, Little Niangao in Lin Xiaoguai’s arms seemed to be dissatisfied with his mother’s lack of attention, floundering his head into her embrace.

Lin Xiaoguai felt a pang in her chest and a bit helplessly scratched her son’s itch, watching him laugh giggle without a care.

“You little rascal!”

Little Niangao didn’t understand what his mother was saying, but seeing her smile at him made him reach out happily to touch her face.

Lin Xiaoguai let him do so, not minding even if her face was pinched out of shape.

Shen Xiu watched curiously, thinking her sister-in-law had something special for her nephew, with not a hint of the sternness mothers often showed their sons, as if she had endless patience.

She never forced Little Niangao to do anything, and even though he couldn’t yet express himself, she tried hard to communicate and interact with him.

She thought that Little Niangao’s fondness for his mother was not only due to the natural bond between mother and child but also with good reason.

She and grandpa and grandma also loved Little Niangao dearly, but sometimes when he did aggravating things, they couldn’t help getting angry and their words to him would inadvertently carry a hint of that anger.

But her sister-in-law had never done so.

Shen Xiu sighed and took an apple from the cupboard, cut it in half, and began to scoop out apple puree to feed her nephew.

Little Niangao was not insistent on being fed by his mother; he preferred her to play with him.

——They never had apples before; they just started appearing earlier this year.

The first time her sister-in-law saw them, she bought two pounds to take home.

At first, she and grandpa and grandma were reluctant to eat them, wanting to save them for Little Niangao.

Later, as her sister-in-law kept buying them every other day, it would have been wasteful not to eat them, so they started, and now it had become a habit.
