Making clothes seemed simple at first glance, but when one actually started doing it, it turned out to be quite challenging. Fortunately, the original body had done some needlework before, so it wasn't completely unfamiliar.
Lu Yao took the old clothes the two children had taken off and used them as a template to cut out the pants first.
Ancient pants were similar to modern ones, divided into front and back panels. The front was slightly narrower, while the back was wider with a crotch. Sewing these two pieces together completed the pants.
Both children were rather slim, so Lu Yao managed to make two pairs of pants from just one adult pair.
Without elastic bands, Lu Yao decided to add drawstrings like those on sportswear, making them both aesthetically pleasing and less likely to fall down, which made them very convenient to wear.
The task of making clothes was somewhat monotonous, and the two children soon grew tired and went to sleep in their beds.
It took about three hours to finish sewing the two pairs of pants. Lu Yao rubbed his sore eyes, blew out the oil lamp, and lay on the bed feeling somewhat sentimental.
He never thought he would actually travel through time. In an era without electronic devices, life was dull, but time seemed to slow down. They lived by the rhythm of nature—rising with the sun and retiring with the sunset, leading a surprisingly fulfilling life.
Lu Yao suddenly felt a bit excited about meeting his husband, Zhao Beichuan. There were no clear memories of his face because the original body had been preoccupied with thoughts of suicide and didn't care what his husband looked like. He only remembered seeing his back once, and he was very tall, estimated to be over 1.8 meters.
In ancient times, malnutrition had led to shorter average heights among common people. Men who were over 1.7 meters tall were considered tall, while women's average height ranged between 1.4 and 1.6 meters. Even boys were typically around 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall.
For example, Lu Yao, in his previous life, was 1.75 meters tall, but after crossing over, he had shrunk by at least ten centimeters. When he visited his mother's house today, his second brother, Lu Lin, wasn't much taller than him, probably not even reaching 1.7 meters. As for his fourth and fifth brothers, although he hadn't seen them, he knew they weren't taller than him, likely around 1.6 meters.
So, Zhao Beichuan's height was truly outstanding in ancient times.
Apart from being tall, the memory of his broad back also left a strong impression, suggesting a well-built physique.
Lu Yao's face flushed slightly. He had always preferred muscular men, but in his previous life, he never experienced love. Now, not only was marrying a man legal, but he had also been given a tall and strong husband for free. He couldn't help but feel elated!
Speaking of the identity of a "ge'er," in this dynasty, ge'ers were considered a gender between men and women. They possessed male organs but also had the ability to bear children.
On the day he arrived, Lu Yao had checked his body in the toilet. All the necessary organs were there, but his "little brother" had shrunk along with his height. Moreover, due to hormonal reasons, this body had no hair, not even a single strand, which looked somewhat strange...
Ge'ers were fewer in number compared to men and women, with a gender ratio of roughly 3:3:1.
Wealthy families rarely married ge'ers as their primary wives because ge'ers had weaker reproductive abilities and faced greater risks during childbirth. However, poorer families preferred ge'ers because their bodies were stronger than women's and could serve as additional labor.
