Lazy Stepmother of the 70s Island

Chapter 62: Regret

Not everyone is like Ning Xue, who can cook delicious food and sew beautiful clothes.

But everyone has their own strengths and merits.

Ning Xue indeed has many strengths. Her presence is like the moon in the sky, covering the moon but allowing the rest of the stars to shine.

Her words praised everyone in the group, and the military wives immediately smiled and praised Ning Tang for her eloquence.

After finishing the meal, the military wives left, leaving only Zeng Xinlan behind.

Zeng Xinlan looked at the designs drawn by Ning Tang, glanced at them, and figured out how to sew them in her mind. "Ning, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Ning Tang had helped her so much, and now it was her turn to contribute.

Zeng Xinlan blinked her eyes. "Ning, could you draw one for me too? I also want to sew a piece of clothing with a nice pattern for Dahu (Big Tiger)."

On the day when Ning Xue instigated the twins to show off, Dahu was present. Although he was sensible and didn't pester Zeng Xinlan to sew clothes with wolf and tiger heads, or ask for candies or pocket money, he was still a child and sometimes let things slip.

In addition, the incident with Nurse Huang and the others coming to settle the score had caused a big fuss. Within a few days, Zeng Xinlan knew the whole story.

As soon as she found out, tears started flowing.

In the end, it was because of their own poor conditions and lack of money that their own children had to watch others eat and could only salivate.

Thinking of Dahu's maturity and not causing trouble when he came home, her heart ached even more.

In the previous few months, the health center was quite busy, and everyone was swamped with work. But this month, things finally eased up a bit. The leaders of the health center called them together and expressed their appreciation for their hard work in the past few months by giving them benefits. And what they received were not just anything, but fabric vouchers.

With the fabric voucher, Zeng Xinlan began to consider making a new outfit for Dahu as well. She was skilled in tailoring, and making clothes was easy for her. However, when it came to the design of the clothes, she couldn't decide what to sew.

If she sewed the same wolf and tiger heads that Ning Xue made for the twins, it would be considered inferior and repetitive.

So when she saw the beautiful designs drawn by Ning Tang, she couldn't help but ask if Ning Tang could draw one for her too.

Ning Tang rummaged through her cabinet and found the cartoon characters she had drawn for the three before. The three of them had already chosen each one, leaving several unused cartoon characters. She handed them to Zeng Xinlan and said, "Take them back and see which one Dahu likes. If he doesn't like any of them, let him come to me, and I'll draw one for him."

Zeng Xinlan held the papers with joy and said, "These are great. Dahu will definitely like them."

Ning Tang went upstairs and brought down some fabric for Zeng Xinlan. It had already been prepared by someone else, and she couldn't ask them for fabric as well. "Xinlan, I'm counting on you."

Ning Tang felt a bit embarrassed. "You're already so busy with your work, and yet I'm asking you for this favor."

Zeng Xinlan scolded her with a glance. "You're being too polite. You've helped me so much, and I finally have the chance to help you once. Besides, I have more free time during this period in the pharmacy, and I can sew quickly. At most, it will take me a month to finish it for you."
