Yun Jiao smiled, "Mom, I don’t know how to cut clothes either. You seem too busy with so many outfits. Why don’t I ask Sister Guihua to co over and help?"
Mrs. Chen waved her hand repeatedly, "No need, no need. It’s not October yet, it doesn’t get cold until November. There’s still a month, I can finish it."
Sixth Brother looked at the fabrics left and right, "Mom, which one is mine?"
Mrs. Chen waved her hand, "Go on, go on, you little rascal, there’s nothing for you to pick from, wear whatever is given."
She picked up that piece of green cloth, "This one is for your Third Brother."
She looked at Sixth Brother and Gu Chuan, "You two brothers are inseparable, let’s just make both of you wear blue, it’ll look impressive when you go out together."
Sixth Brother put his arm around Gu Chuan’s shoulder and said with a grin, "Great, Xiao Chuan and I will wear the sa."
The brown one, needless to say, was to make a cotton-padded jacket for Ah Tie.
Third Sister was smiling and hugging that piece of red flower cloth; no need to ask, she knew it was hers.
Yun Jiao winked at her, "When the New Year cos, I’ll buy so plush flowers for you and make our Third Sister look beautiful."
Third Sister put down the floral cloth and hugged Yun Jiao’s leg, "Big Sister is the best, I like Big Sister the most."
Jiang Youzhi lay alone in his room, listening to the laughter from next door, and a smile appeared on his face.
After organizing everything, Yun Jiao washed the newly bought dicine pot, put in so red dates, astragalus, and angelica, and then placed several charcoal blocks in the newly bought stove.
Third Sister squatted nearby, watching curiously, "Is this also Third Brother’s dicine?"
Yun Jiao shook her head, "This is for Big Sister herself to drink."
Third Sister widened her eyes with worry, "Big Sister is sick?" She was really scared that Big Sister was sick, as after her father and elder brother had fallen sick and passed away, and after Third Brother had injured his leg, illness among loved ones was a terrifying thing for her.
Yun Jiao gently patted her head, "Big Sister isn’t sick; this is just to nourish the body."
She took her own pulse and found so deficiency in vitality and blood, which is a common issue for girls.
Her health foundation was actually quite good, so there was no need for excessive tonic; just drinking so of this water daily was enough.
For girls in their developntal stage, drinking this was also beneficial for secondary sexual characteristic developnt.
During dinner, Yun Jiao said to Mrs. Chen, "Let’s have Ah Tie temporarily sleep in Third Brother’s room."
"I bought the bed and will set it up shortly."
"For blankets and such, we’ll use Xiao Chuan’s."
Mrs. Chen nodded, "That’s good, with Ah Tie around, if Third Brother needs to drink water or anything at night, soone can help."
Jiang Youzhi’s room was a main room, spacious enough to fit a small bed.
After dinner, Third Sister and Gu Chuan went to wash the dishes, while Yun Jiao took Sixth Brother and Ah Tie to assemble the bed.
The bed was simple; set up the head and foot, place the bed fra, then lay on several bed boards.
Once the bed was set up, Yun Jiao took Gu Chuan’s bedding for Ah Tie, who laid them himself.
The bed was placed under the window; originally, Jiang Youzhi’s desk was here, but now the desk had been moved to Jiang Youzhi’s bedside, where the family sotis ate, and Jiang Youzhi also placed his books there at tis.
After settling Ah Tie, Yun Jiao returned to her room and bolted the door.
She slipped into the dicine storage room and headed straight for the fine materials counter.
On the counter, two brocade boxes, one large and one small, were placed side by side.
Yun Jiao picked up the smaller brocade box and opened it, and there lay the ginseng she had sold to Manager Wang today!
At this point, Yun Jiao was completely at ease.
Thinking of the eight hundred silver gained effortlessly, she smiled for a while in the dicine storage room before coming out.
