Chapter 138: Hundred Family Quilt

When the old woman saw the tools the two brought, she didn't say much. She just sat aside and continued to watch them sew the soles of shoes.

Ji Sisi finally understood why handmade cloth shoes were so expensive. If he was a liar, she would not be willing to do it for her.

Even for someone with experience, it would take several days to sew a pair of cloth shoes.

The semi-finished products that the two of them were using were so difficult to make, let alone the real old cloth shoes.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a price but no demand.

When it got dark, Ji Sisi felt like her eyes were going blind, but there was still a heel left on the sole of her shoe in her hand.

It's too difficult. Can you give yourself a week?
"Okay!" Ji Shengsheng's surprised voice came from beside him.

When Ji Sisi heard this, she looked over and saw the other person holding a shoe with a look of joy on his face.

Good, good, good, she is really worthy of being the heroine. Not only did she finish sewing the sole of one shoe, she even sewed the top. Now it looks like a complete shoe.

It would be a lie for Ji Sisi to say she wasn't envious. Is this the heroine? No matter what the task is, she can do it so quickly.
"But these shoes are a little too small. I can't wear them."

Ji Shengsheng, who wanted to try it, was in trouble. He finally put on the shoes, but the uncomfortable expression on his face did not seem fake.

Ji Sisi took out the scrap of fabric on the table and said, "Stuff it in there, and you can wear it tomorrow."

"Really? Sisi, you are so amazing! Why didn't I think of it?" Ji Shengsheng took the cloth and stuffed it into his shoes.

After doing some simple finishing work and putting away the things, the two returned to the courtyard.

As soon as I came back, I saw Wen Biying, Lan Qin and others smiling at the door.

The two groups were assigned the same task, but it should be an easier one. They didn't discuss anything about the task at noon, and now it was even more relaxed.

"Hey! Sisi, you guys are back. How did the mission go?"

After seeing the two of them, Wen Biying asked immediately.

Ji Shengsheng was in a good mood at the moment. "It looks like my progress is not as fast as the rest of you guys."

"It's okay, we should be able to finish it by tomorrow noon." Zhao Jianwei smiled brightly.

Her expression at the moment looked very happy, and Ji Sisi inferred that their mission should be very good.

At noon the next day, before it was time for lunch, we received news that Lan Qin and Wen Biying's teams had completed their missions.

At this time, Ji Sisi had just started working on the sole of her second shoe.

"Are they really done? Are they really not lying to us?"

Ji Sisi held a shoe in her hand and didn't know what to say. It turned out that people's happiness and sadness were not the same.

"You'll know in a moment." The cameraman deliberately kept the audience in suspense.

Ji Sisi quickened her movements, but the more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made. The needle suddenly pierced her thumb, and it hurt so much that she almost cried.

Two drops of red were also dropped on the white sole, which was very sad no matter how you looked at it.

"Sisi, do you think Sister Lanqin and the others' task is cross-stitch? I heard them talking about beautiful embroidery last night." Ji Shengsheng said.

Ji Sisi sniffed and held back her tears, "Maybe."

Anyway, it was definitely not as difficult as what they were doing now. If she had known that the task would be so difficult, she should not have torn off the logo of the program team at the door.

Soon, the voices of Lan Qin and others were heard at the door. They must have come to check on their progress after completing the mission. "Is this the place? It doesn't look like it?"

"There's not even the program's logo, so make sure you don't knock on the wrong door."

The voices of several people came through the courtyard wall, and Ji Shengsheng immediately trotted over to open the door.

Four people came in holding a small blanket with various patterns on it, and circled around Ji Sisi and the other person several times.

"Did you make this? So cute." Ji Shengsheng exclaimed.

She couldn't help but squeeze it with her hands; the blanket was very soft.

Zhao Jianwei said: "You can guess what this little quilt is called. It is very meaningful."

The front of the blanket is made of different fabrics. Although the patterns are different, there is an inexplicable harmony when they are combined together.

The reverse side is normal lining fabric, which looks a bit dull, but combines well with the front side.

Ji Shengsheng felt that he must have heard of it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember it for the moment.

"Wait. Is this a quilt?"

She had heard before that when a baby is one hundred days old, people would visit the neighbors' homes, collect some cloth and make a whole piece of cloth, which meant that the baby would grow up healthily under the protection of the Bai family.

Ji Shengsheng had only heard of it before, but had no specific knowledge of it.

Besides, in a place like Beijing, you rarely see your neighbors. As for asking for cloth or something, very few families would prepare cloth. Now I finally see it for real.

Seeing her carefully touching the small quilt, Zhao Jianwei continued to introduce: "The silk used in it is also made by us. Although it is a bit difficult, isn't it very good?"

Ji Shengsheng nodded, turned around and asked Ji Sisi to come and watch.

The quilt was made, but except for the young couple Wen Biying and Si Che, the rest of the people were single and the young couples were not married yet. So who was this quilt prepared for?

Although several people were puzzled, the director still kept it a secret and said nothing.

It was not until two days later that Ji Sisi and the other person completed their mission, and Fu Yeran and others also completed their mission soon after.

The two of them were tasked with hand-sewing old cloth shoes, and the four boys' task was to weave baskets.

When seeing the wounds of varying sizes on the hands of the four people, Ji Sisi thought that making shoe soles was not a bad idea. Although they were pricked with a few stitches, at least there were no obvious wounds.

When the task was settled, Lan Qin and others who ranked first took the envelopes handed over by the director.

Zhao Jianwei pinched it several times and had a bold idea in her mind, "Could there be several hundred dollars in it?"

Wen Biying then broke her fantasy, "You want to get money from the director, but you can only do it when you dream at night."

Everyone nodded, thinking that this made some sense.

They opened the envelope and to their surprise, there was an invitation inside.

The words written in golden brush on the red invitation card were about a hundred-day banquet for a child from the neighboring village, and several guests from the program team were invited to attend.

"Is this our reward?" Pei Sina was so excited. "I heard that the banquet here is very special. Can we try it too?"

Amid everyone's expectant gazes, the director nodded.

"The patchwork quilts you made are gifts for them. There is also a custom here to bring free-range eggs. The baskets you wove can also be put to use."
