After a false alarm, the house returned to its original calm and warmth.
On the warm kang, Lady Du sat cross-legged next to a low square kang table, using a piece of pink cotton cloth to make clothes for Cai Wei. Wen'er and Wu'er sat on either side of Lady Du, each holding a sugar figurine that Cai Wei bought for them, eating it bit by bit, savoring it carefully to make the sweetness last longer.
Fei'er sat across from Lady Du, her elbows propped up on the edge of the kang table, supporting her chin, watching her mother take the scissors and cut the beautiful cotton cloth into pieces...
"Mother, I also want to learn needlework."
"Sure!"
Lady Du was in full agreement with Cai Fei's thoughts.
"It is important for girls to spend more time on needlework, otherwise they won't be able to use the needle or thread properly, and they will be taken advantage of when they go to their husband's house in the future."
