After finishing two quilts, Yang Family saw Juhua hunched over, clearly struggling. "We've already finished two," she said. "Go take a rest. I'll sew the rest. I'm faster, anyway."
Juhua knew her needlework really wasn't as practiced as Yang Family's, so she nodded honestly. She gathered some of the remaining fabric, thinking she would make a pair of cotton gloves. Then another thought struck her. 'I should make a pair for my brother first. It must be frigid sitting in the classroom without being able to move around.'
'But I can't use this floral fabric for my brother.'
She dug out the leftover light blue fabric from when she last made clothes for her brother. Tracing the shape of a hand, she cut out a pair of double-layered gloves. She then stuffed them with some cotton, spread it evenly, and carefully sewed them shut. After turning them right-side out, she even embroidered two simple blades of grass on the back, which conveniently helped secure the cotton filling.
