Chapter 1538: Officially Starting the Job 2
Besides clothing and daily necessities, Ye Xiangqian also brought Ye Yan’s living expenses and Grain Tickets.
Thus, the left-behind child Ye Yan became a part of the Lu Family, happily going to and from school every day with Fubao. Where was there any trace of rebellion? He was obviously a refined, gentle, and well-behaved child—also very diligent.
However, once he was at school, he reverted to his previous cold demeanor. Apart from Fubao, he did not give anyone else the chance to get close to him.
After putting away the hundred yuan Ye Xiangqian returned to her, Feng Qingxue lifted the cloth over the sewing machine and began making clothes for Ye Yan.
The fabric was brought from the Capital—there’s no use wasting overseas remittance coupons.
Ye Yan’s clothes had become too small and very worn, pieces patched four or five times. Ye Xiangqian likely hadn’t noticed this. Feng Qingxue wanted to rush out two sets of autumn clothes for him before officially starting work. Luckily, this sewing machine saved a lot of time.
This somewhat old but still usable sewing machine was bought at half price by Lu Jiang when someone couldn’t take it with them upon leaving the military compound.
Fubao’s quickly finished Dacron outfit on her first day of school owed much to this sewing machine.
Speaking of the Dacron clothing, Fubao and the triplets only wore them once before refusing to wear them again. The autumn heat was fierce, and the children were always active, especially Lu Erxiong, who was constantly jumping around. They ended up soaked in sweat, and when the Dacron clothes got wet, they stuck to their bodies, making them unbreathable and very uncomfortable.
"Things that everyone likes aren’t necessarily the best." Fubao finally understood this principle. From that point forward, she stopped coveting objects simply because others liked them—unless she genuinely liked them herself.
