Chapter 197: What Do You Know? This Is Lovingly Handmade By Me!

Just as the three of them were deep in discussion, there was suddenly a knock on the bedroom door…
Jian Dan sat at the door and opened it. Granny Xia stood outside with a kindly smile. “Dinner is ready. Come out and eat.”
“Okay, Granny Xia!”
The three of them came out of the bedroom. Granny had already cooked up a storm, and a few of them were Jian Dan’s favorites…
“Wow! It smells so good! I haven’t eaten Granny Xia’s dishes for a long time!”
When they were in junior high school, Jian Dan often went to Mengjiao’s house for dinner.
“Hurry up and tuck in!”
Granny handed the chopsticks to them.
After sitting down, Granny scooped some steamed glutinous rice with chicken into a bowl for Jian Dan.
Jian Dan scooped a spoonful and popped it in her mouth. “Mmm! This is the taste. It’s delicious!”
Jian Dan had a blissful expression.
“Eat more if it’s delicious!”
“Okay!”
“By the way, Granny Xia… I have something to ask of you.”
Jian Dan said as she took another bite of steamed glutinous rice with chicken.
“What is it?”
“I want to learn how to knit scarves from you!”
Jian Dan stated her purpose.
“Why do you suddenly want to learn how to knit scarves?”
She had known this lass since she was young; she was not interested in knitting at all!
“Hehe! Isn’t it almost Valentine’s Day? I want to knit a scarf for Uncle,” Jian Dan said sheepishly.
“Oh! No problem. I’ll teach you after dinner.”
“Okay, okay!”
“Hasn’t Mr. Chu always worn custom-made clothes? Are you sure that what you knit…” Mengjiao said deliberately.
“What do you know? This is lovingly handmade by me!”
Jian Dan said proudly.
“Oh, lovingly handmade by you! I wonder if Miss Jian is able to do it though!” Mengjiao teased.
Based on Mengjiao’s understanding of Jian Dan, her hands-on skills were almost zero. Could she really knit a scarf? She was very doubtful!
“Yes! The power of love can definitely make me succeed,” Jian Dan said inspirationally.
After dinner, Jian Dan and Zi Yan helped Granny Xia clear the table.
And then, she began to learn how to knit…
“Granny Xia, do you have any simple and good-looking patterns that are easier to learn?”
Actually, Jian Dan did not have much confidence in herself either!
“Then let’s do purling! It’s relatively simple, and it looks very simple and elegant.”
“Okay!”
Jian Dan watched Granny’s demonstration in all seriousness. Her face fell as she watched Granny’s hands.
Didn’t she say that it was very simple? But why did it feel so difficult?
Jian Dan thought as she scratched her forehead…
It was definitely impossible to learn just by looking at it. Granny could only teach Jian Dan step by step as she held her hands. But Jian Dan still could not master it. Later on, she had no choice but to use only one style and choose purling!
Even then, Jian Dan had barely learned this style. Moreover, she was afraid that she would forget it, so she even made a video recording of it.
Since she had learned it, Mengjiao and Zi Yan accompanied Jian Dan to buy yarn in the afternoon.
Jian Dan chose the more low-key grayish-blue yarn.
Jian Dan held the yarn she had bought and imagined Chu Liyuan’s expression when he saw the scarf she had knitted for him. Would Uncle be moved to tears?
“Jian, stop daydreaming. Knit the scarf first and imagine it later!” Mengjiao teased again.
Jian Dan shot daggers at Mengjiao…
Mengjiao shut up…
“Mengjiao, you really have to settle the matter between you and Li Jing as soon as possible. Otherwise…” Jian Dan pointed at Mengjiao’s belly.
“Okay! I know!”
“Don’t worry. No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you! And if Li Jing dares to bully you, I’ll get Uncle to teach him a lesson!”
Jian Dan said in all seriousness as she looked at Mengjiao.
Mengjiao hugged Jian Dan…
Jian Dan had always been such a good and loyal friend.
How could she be so lucky to be Jiaris friend?
Jian Dan caught a glimpse of Zi Yan from the corner of her eye. She reached out and pulled Zi Yan over, turning into a three-person hug…
Although Zi Yan had already begun to slowly adapt to such surprise attacks from Jian Dan, there was suddenly another person now…
It seemed that she still had a lot to adapt to!
“Zi Yan, you were wrong when we were at Mengjiao’s house. You shouldn’t have said that you’re my friend. You should have said that you’re my and Mengjiao’s friend. Mengjiao… Right??”
“That’s right!” Mengjiao held Zi Yan’s hand. “We’re friends!” She smiled…
Was she… being made… to have a friend again??
