It began to snow again outside. Snowflakes, large and numerous, danced across the sky, blanketing the entire earth. After the snowfall, Jinghan no longer had the chance to go up the mountain, so naturally, she could only stay idle at home. Under Jingya's watchful eye, Jinghan picked up her needle and thread again and began to learn to sew and mend. At first, Mrs. Xue didn't expect her to make much of it, and simply gave her some old clothes to practice patching. Jinghan, holding the needle, sewed stitch by stitch, and it actually looked somewhat decent.
Jingya took a moment to glance at Jinghan and saw that the patches she sewed were fairly standard; although the stitches were slightly uneven, they were still passable. "Isn't this quite good? You're not clumsy, just impatient. Keep practicing, and in a while, I'll teach you how to sew socks and patch shoe insoles. Learn bit by bit, and as long as you can persist, you won't be worse than me."
