Chapter 218, A Word to Awaken the Dreamer
Li Mingxuan's words were a wake-up call.
Lu Qingqing immediately had another idea in her mind.
Mingxuan,
Your words have given your aunt another reminder.
A glint of excitement flashed in Lu Qingqing's eyes.
He continued,
Mingxuan,
Why don't you take your younger siblings out to play for a while?
I'll make you something nice in a little while.
Li Mingxuan was a little curious.
"Auntie, what wonderful thing is it?"
Could you give us a heads-up?
Lu Qingqing smiled and touched Li Mingxuan's hair bun.
"Auntie wants to try making a schoolbag for you."
From now on, you can put your books in your schoolbags.
That way, even if it rains...
Your books will no longer get wet.
Li Mingxuan's eyes lit up immediately.
He jumped up excitedly.
Wow, they're making backpacks for us!
Auntie, you are so kind!
Every time it rains, I worry that my books will get wet.
Now that I have a schoolbag, I won't be afraid anymore.
You are truly amazing.
Hearing this, Stone, who was nearby, also came over.
"Mom, I want a schoolbag too, I want one too."
Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile.
"Okay, okay, we have them all."
You all go out and play for a while first.
Let Mom think carefully about how to make this schoolbag.
"I'll call you back to see it when I've finished."
The children, upon hearing this, cheered and ran off.
Laughter echoed in the courtyard.
Lu Qingqing watched their departing figures.
The corners of my mouth unconsciously turned up.
Chunlan and Qiuju, standing nearby, immediately understood.
Bring over some dried oilcloth.
Xiahe and Dongmei also quickly prepared scissors and needles and thread.
"Miss, how should this schoolbag be made?"
"Just tell us what you need, and we'll do it."
Xia He said softly.
Lu Qingqing looked at the several attentive maids,
A warmth spread through my heart, and I said:
"Everyone, please don't panic."
I still need to think carefully about the style of this backpack.
Lu Qingqing first drew a sketch,
Chunlan and the others were immediately attracted.
"Miss, is this the schoolbag?"
Chunlan opened her mouth wide in surprise.
His eyes were fixed on the manuscript, his gaze filled with curiosity.
Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile.
Pointing to the illustrations on the manuscript, he explained:
Yes, look!
This is the main part of the backpack.
Used to hold books.
The small pockets on both sides can hold some small items.
The large pocket on the front is convenient for storing writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
And these shoulder straps, I designed them to be quite wide.
It will be more comfortable to carry on your back.
Qiuju leaned closer and asked curiously:
"Miss, what should we do with these edges and corners?"
It feels so exquisite.
Lu Qingqing patiently explained:
"These edges and corners need to be carefully folded and sewn."
Not only can it make the backpack look more beautiful,
It can also prevent the oilcloth from wearing out.
Moreover, to make the backpack more durable
Key areas, such as the connection point of the suspenders.
It needs to be reinforced with thicker thread for added strength.
Lu Qingqing explained it to the group briefly.
Then I started cutting and trimming.
After estimating the size of the backpack, she...
Holding scissors,
His gaze followed the drawn line intently.
They carefully cut the oilcloth.
The sharp scissors sliced across the thick oilcloth.
It made a "click-clack" sound.
Every shot was incredibly precise.
Chunlan watched intently from the side.
Can't help but admire:
"Miss, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing!"
The cutting is fast and efficient.
This size is also large enough to hold books and papers.
Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:
"You can't rush this; the dimensions must be precise."
Otherwise, it wouldn't be suitable for the children to carry.
As he spoke,
She had already cut out several pieces of fabric for the main body of the backpack.
Then place them one by one on the table.
Lu Qingqing said with a smile,
"Chunlan, could you find me a piece of lining cloth?"
Let's add another layer of lining to the inside of the backpack.
This will make the backpack more sturdy.
Chunlan quickly replied:
"Okay, Miss."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the storage room to look for lining cloth.
After a while
She hurried back carrying a soft piece of lining cloth.
"Miss, would you like to see if this lining fabric is alright?"
Lu Qingqing took it.
I carefully felt the texture of the fabric.
He looked at it again in the light and nodded, saying:
"This one is good, the thickness is just right, soft yet sturdy."
Perfect for making a backpack lining.
As he spoke,
She laid the lining flat on the inside of the cut oilcloth.
Pick up the scissors again,
Trim the lining along the edge of the tarpaulin.
Make it the perfect size for the oilcloth.
Lu Qingqing cut two layers of oilcloth from the schoolbag.
In addition to the inner lining, there are a total of three layers of fabric.
She carefully folded the three layers of cloth neatly.
Gently smooth out each wrinkle with your hands.
Make sure they fit together perfectly, without any deviation.
"Sew the three layers of fabric together like this."
The backpack will definitely be very sturdy.
The kids can handle it however they want, it won't break easily.
Chunlan, watching from the side, couldn't help but speak up:
"Miss, let me try sewing."
I promise I will make sure the schoolbag is finished.
“Miss, then I will cut the oilcloth according to your instructions.”
Xia He quickly said.
Qiuju also picked up a pair of scissors.
"Then I'll cut the lining, don't worry, miss."
I will carefully compare the sizes.
Dongmei also prepared needle and thread on the side.
"Miss, then Chunlan and I will sew together."
That way we can get it done faster.
Looking at the maids' proactive manner, Lu Qingqing
My heart is filled with joy.
"Alright, then thank you for your hard work."
Chunlan and Dongmei, when you were sewing,
Make sure the stitches are even and the thread is taut.
This way, the backpack will be more sturdy.
When Qiuju was cutting the lining fabric
Make sure to refer to the dimensions of the oilcloth carefully to avoid cutting it crookedly.
Xiahe, could you help them out?
Let's discuss any problems as soon as possible.
The maids nodded and went about their tasks.
Xia He focused intently on cutting the oilcloth.
The scissors danced nimbly in their hands.
His eyes were fixed on the drawn lines.
They were afraid of even the slightest deviation.
Qiuju carefully cut the lining fabric.
They would also compare the lining cloth with the oilcloth from time to time.
Make sure the tarpaulin and lining are the right sizes.
Chunlan has already begun threading the needle.
Preparing for sewing
His eyes revealed earnestness and anticipation.
Lu Qingqing watched the maids busily working in an orderly manner.
"You've all finished your work."
"What should I do?"
Chunlan replied with a smile,
"Miss,
Why don't you draw some patterns on the schoolbags of the young masters and ladies?
Your paintings are so beautiful.
They'll definitely like it when they see it.
And also
If I were to paint your designs all over this backpack,
The factory will make and sell school bags in the future.
That might make it even more appealing.
Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Chunlan's words.
Chunlan, your idea is really good.
"Then let's do as you say."
As she spoke, she quickly walked to the table.
Spread out a sheet of white paper, and after a moment's thought...
He then picked up a paintbrush and prepared to draw a diagram on the paper.
Of these children, Li Mingxuan is the oldest.
So she decided to start drawing from the largest to the smallest.
Lu Qingqing picked up her pen and murmured to herself:
Mingxuan is in the prime of his youth.
And full of vigor,
What kind of painting should I make for him?
