Chapter 158: It’s Him
"Do you think I don’t want to?" Jian Ming glared at his son, "I’ve already sought out a tailor, and the tailor said that everything else is easy to make, but there are some parts that are purely handmade and require knowledge of extremely difficult embroidery skills to create. How could any sewing machine handle such thick material? Even if it did press through, the needle would break."
He adjusted his clothes and swaggered off in his son’s outfit.
Jian Zhiqing could only sigh and then took another piece to wear, but no matter what, it just didn’t feel as comfortable as that one.
Forget it, next time I see the little girl, I’ll have her help make one. Otherwise, it’ll be common for the father and son to fight over a piece of clothing. Right, the little girl is almost in her third year of junior high school, isn’t she? Next year she’ll attend high school. Time really flies; in the blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed.
The curriculum of the third year of junior high is much more difficult than that of the second year, and of course, many students stop their education at this point, especially in rural schools like theirs where few go on to high school, let alone university.
Boys are fine; their families can support them to attend high school, but girls often reach the age of eighteen or nineteen by that time, and if they stop going to school, they’re expected to get engaged and then married.
After cleaning up the classroom, Qin Xiangnuan and Qin Xiangyang went home together. Their home was close, so most of the time the siblings walked back together. In fact, over the past few years, Qin Xiangnuan had seldom been on cleaning duty, as her older brother often helped out. Having a brother is really great; in her past life, she didn’t envy Qin Xiangmei for becoming more and more beautiful, nor did she envy Qin Xiangnuan for marrying into an official’s family, but she envied Qin Xiangmei for having a brother who always looked out for her.
