Gongyu Mingxi waved her hand: "Let's eat, he probably won't be back until evening."
The sisters thought about it and agreed.
After lunch, Qixun continued copying books, while the three women kept making clothes.
Lingsu was thinking of making Qixun a pair of shoes she could wear out of the house; the ragged ones she had now were old shoes from before their mother got married, dug out from the thatched cottage, and couldn't be used for going out at all.
Unfortunately, there weren't any soles, so they'd have to make the sole cloth first, dry it, and only then stitch the shoe bottoms.
By sunset, the ground outside, after a whole day of sunshine, had dried quite a bit. Another day, and they could go out walking.
In a day, Qixun finished copying a medical book, and the three women made two quilted coats.
