Chapter 475: Six Children Is Enough To Frighten Away All The Girls
The clothes all fit well.
Jiang Yingqiu’s figure was fairly average, about that of a typical village woman, but slightly thinner because of her poor health and her many years of overwork.
But this was a quilted jacket meant to be worn over her clothes. Many people liked their quilted jackets a size larger to keep them warm, so when Jiang Yingqiu put it on, it fit quite well.
The color was rather festive and looked elegant. It was just right for an older person, and Jiang Yingqiu looked good in it.
Mo Beihan smiled. “Not bad. You can wear it this new year, it’s more festive.”
Jiang Yingqiu was delighted. She felt the fabric. It was of excellent quality!
“Son, why are you making such good clothes for me? It’s not convenient for me to wear such things in a village. If it accidentally gets caught on something, it will be such a waste!”
Mo Beihan’s heart ached a little as he looked at his mother.
“It won’t be a waste. You don’t need to do much during winter, so you won’t tear it. Anyway, even if you tear it, I can always buy another one for you.”
Gu Qingyao was there too. Mo Beihan had spent so much money on clothes for them, and now there were so many children in their family. Jiang Yingqiu was worried that Gu Qingyao would be upset, so she hurriedly said, “What about Yao Yao? Yao Yao is a young girl and needs to dress appropriately when she goes out. When you make clothes for her in the future, you must make a few nice pieces.”
Gu Qingyao’s jacket had red and black checks. Although red and blue checks, as well as red and black checks, were more common, the color of her jacket was different from the usual red and black checks.
The black was purer, while the red was a slightly deeper shade. This created greater contrast so that it looked even more elegant.
It was just right for a young girl.
Grandma Mo had really put much effort in choosing the material.
Jiang Yingqiu stroked Gu Qingyao’s jacket and said with a smile, “This is nice, very nice. Yao Yao will certainly look good in this.”
She stayed at the Mo house all afternoon and Mo Beihan only walked her home when it was almost evening.
This time, Mo Beihan confidently swaggered back to the Gu house with a big bag of things.
Mhm!
At the moment, it was expected that he would be trying his best to please the Gu family!
As they walked through the Southern Lake Brigade, many people saw Mo Beihan carrying the giant parcel to the Gu house. They looked rather puzzled.
Including Miao Cuilan, who had always wanted her daughter to marry Mo Beihan.
But her scalp p.r.i.c.kled at the thought of the six boys in the Mo family!
Fortunately, she had not married her daughter to the Mo family. Or she would have become the maid.
With a family like that, how could her daughter a.s.sist her parents in the future?
If many girls had previously hesitated because Mo Beihan needed to support two nephews and an elderly, ailing mother, six children plus an elderly, ailing mother were now sufficient to frighten away all the girls.
All the girls in the Southern Lake and Qing River Brigades who had fancied Mo Beihan in the past were thrown into confusion!
When they reached the Gu house, the three older cousins and Gu Yunshen were not there. They were having lessons at the cowshed!
Gu Fangting was there too. The two youngest ones were at home. They were too young and could not absorb that much. So the three older cousins had lower expectations of them.
Gu Yunshuang was preparing dinner when Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao arrived.
“Youngest Aunt!” Mo Beihan was always courteous towards the Gu family.
He brought out the things and Gu Qingyao arranged them nicely.
Ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, two dried chickens, two apples, some grain, some cloth and some cotton wool.
