Sanwang sighed, “Sumr is great. From the ti I open my eyes to the ti I close them, I feel like I have lived twice as long as I did in the winter— what a steal!”
Maisui laughed at him, “What is it that you’ve stolen? The sun rises and sets normally and a day is still 24 hours all the sa.”
Sanwang argued, “But it’s daylight saving ti now.”
Erwang, “A day during the daylight saving ti is also 24 hours. There’s no more and no less ti than usual.”
Sanwang directed his query towards his eldest brother, but Dawang was too lazy to answer such a stupid question.
Therefore, Sanwang ran out to seek support from Lin Lan. Now that he got her answer, he proudly showed off to his brothers and sisters, “You heard it, mom also said that sumr is long.”
Xiaowang smiled, “In sumr, the days are long and the nights are short, but in winter, the nights are long and the days are short. So they add up into the sa amount of ti, brother, hahaha.”
Sanwang, “…Mom, I think sumr has longer hours than the winter, right?”
Lin Lan…My silly son, you should study harder. What you feel and what is real are inconsistent.
Sanwang pulled Xiaowang to ask what he liked and the younger answered, “I like winter like dad, the opposite of you.”
Sanwang, “Why?”
Xiaowang, “In the winter, the nights are long so I can sleep more, haha.”
Lin Lan then said to the kids, “You guys can go out to play for today, I’ll stay at ho to make so clothes.”
Since the children were growing up, their clothes were getting smaller day by day. It wasn’t even possible to even think about wearing the clothes from the past year. Clothes worn during the spring would beco shorter by the sumr and practically thinner in the autumn, so they needed to be modified or made anew.
Lin Lan never wanted her clothes to be too big for her children. After all, it would appear sloppy and baggy, making even the finest children appear unsightly. For example, regarding Dawang, Erwang, and Sanwang, their clothes would beco too small for their sizes in about 2 to 3 months, which required constant modification since they were on the cusp of growth. Fortunately, Lin Lan wasn’t worried about trouble considering that she had a sewing machine.
When Sanwang heard that his mother was about to make more clothes, he imdiately said, “Mom, I don’t want a short-sleeved shirt, I want a vest to show my arms.”
Lin Lan…Your older brothers specifically asked for sleeved shirts, so why are you asking for one without?
Dawang and Erwang had specifically stated that they wanted short sleeves to cover their upper arms since their classmates always liked to stare at them. That was because they wanted to see Dawang’s good figure. Plus, they were also surprised that Erwang, who appeared so delicate, had such beautiful muscles. They were tired of being stared at, so they just covered their arms with clothes entirely, not letting anyone see them.
Sanwang, “Short sleeves are so troubleso and we have to unbutton and button them all the ti. At this point, I’ll just wear a sack like Xiaofu.”
Second Sister-in-law Han didn’t really bother worrying about her child. In order to save fabric, she made a huge outfit for Xiaofu. He would wear it as a single layer shirt during spring and autumn, an outer cotton coat in the winter and rely take off the sleeves for him in sumr. But Lin Lan guessed that even so, it probably wasn’t very easy. The child was active and the clothes would start to tatter and tear before it could even get too small. It would take both ti and fabric to nd them because if they were not, the clothes would look like beggars, which would be pretty eye-catching and not in a good way.
