Chapter 220: Grandma
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, Su Qingling usually helps some Hanfu shops as models, and when she starts selling original Hanfu, she knows how complicated and cumbersome the link in the middle is.
In the past few days, the enthusiasm of fans is quite high, and the number of likes and retweets on Weibo of that photo album has exceeded 100,000, and many Hanfu lovers have left messages wanting to buy a set.
Fortunately, with Zhang Nan's help, the two girls are both customer service and operation, and Hanfu Niang Luo Concubine is also busy finding friends in the circle to make it together.
Things will always be solved one by one, and after the initial period of work, after gaining experience, you will become proficient later.
The original set of 100 sets of 'Glimpse' was finally increased to 200 sets, and the fans trusted the lime very much, and after being selected as a lucky fan, almost all of them paid and placed orders without hesitation.
The price is naturally not cheap, after all, it is all handmade, and it has to be tailored according to the size of each fan.
Busy is busy, for three girls, this is a lot of income, and the summer vacation is about to usher, and the two-month vacation to do this is also a perfect use of time.
Although it has not yet formed a brand, it is her own original Hanfu after all, and Su Qingling also carefully designed a trademark, which is very low-key hidden in the skirt of the dress.
It is the embroidery of words and patterns, the words are the three words 'lime dream', and the pattern is a small lime fruit on the branch of a lemon tree.
During this time, Su Lime had a full schedule, but he still came over to make up lessons for Li Wanqi on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday nights, and the tutoring effect of Qiqi was very good, especially the results of science subjects rose a lot, and in yesterday's math test, he actually ranked twenty in the class, and there were more than sixty students in the class, and the math scores of Qiqi were usually ranked forty or fifty.
Lime: "Huh~ It's finally been busy this week, the orders have been sorted out, and the rest of the things will be handed over to Concubine Luo, she has found several tailors, and she should be able to drive out these two hundred sets of clothes in September." ”
Cat who can play with his mobile phone: "It's good to be busy, at least you don't have insomnia so easily when you sleep at night." ”
Lime: "How do you know I've slept pretty well lately, are you peeking at me!"
The cat who can play with his mobile phone: "What's the need to peek at you, when I went online in the middle of the night several times, I found that you didn't actually talk to me, and I knew that you must have slept very deeply." ”
Su Qinglime's face was slightly red, and he said as if as soon as he went online, he would go over to chat with him, he hated it to death, hum, turn off his online prompt now!
Lime: "I-I've been really sleepy lately, and after talking to you at night, and then taking care of the business at hand, I fell asleep as soon as I got to bed." ”
Cat who can play with his mobile phone: "This is very good, people, 80% of the troubles are caused by thinking too much and doing too little, so if you keep yourself busy, you won't have so many distractions to think about other things." ”
Lime: "Then why don't you have any worries, look at your laid-back appearance." ”
Cat who can play with mobile phones: "Yes, I have been in the dragon boat water recently, and I haven't been in the sun for several days, so I'm very worried." ”
Lime: "[Hitting] [Hitting]"
Lime: "[Image]"
Lime: "Look, I've been so busy these days, I've got a little pimple on my face. ”
Sika zoomed in on the picture, and sure enough, a small red pimple grew on her fair face, a small one, which looked even more green.
The cat that can play with the phone: "It's okay, it's you who are so cute that you are bubbling." ”
Su Qinglime was happy in her heart and replied, "I don't want to bubble like this!"
The cat who can play with his mobile phone: "Tomorrow's holiday, since you're done, let's get a good night's sleep, I wish you a happy Zongzi Festival." ”
Lime: "Mm-hmm, I also wish you a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival." ”
......
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China, after Qingming and the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, the first two are to commemorate and commemorate the ancestors, and the latter two are rare people.
The pace of modern social life is fast, and the meaning of the festival itself is gradually becoming less profound, as long as there is good food, or you can have a holiday, then it is a festival worth hapting.
This year, Li Yumin plans to take Qiqi to his grandmother's house to wrap zongzi together, the last time he went back to his grandmother's house was the New Year, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and he still has to go back to see her if he has time.
Qiqi especially likes grandma's wrapped zongzi, especially salty zongzi, she can eat two big at a time, when she was a child, she ate too much, made indigestion and diarrhea, went to school classmates to ask her what's wrong, she was embarrassed to tell her friends because she ate too many zongzi to make diarrhea, now I think about it is still quite embarrassing.
It was rainy in southern Jiangsu, and it had been raining in the dragon boat water for the past few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the clothes were not dry, the balcony was wet, and Sika hadn't gone out to bask in the sun for several days.
Like a king, eating chicken, flying car, playing all day, and always being sprayed by teammates.
I'm just a kitten, what's wrong with the pit, if I had ten fingers, I could hang you up and beat you.
Every time she was having fun, Wang Huisu took a mop into the house and poked her head under the bed with her mop head.
"Sika, why do you keep getting under the bed, get out of here!"
"Meow. ”
Sika quickly hung up, put away his phone, and ran to the living room.
Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the whole family got up, and it rained outside for a while in the early morning, but fortunately, the rain has stopped now.
When Li Wanqi was eating breakfast, Sika rubbed at her feet, and Qiqi gave her a few shrimps.
Qiqi pinched the flesh on Sika's body and said curiously: "I've lost weight for more than half a month, why haven't I lost weight." ”
Sika: "Meow. ”
I don't know, I'm working hard to lose weight.
Qiqi picked Millie up again, and Millie kicked her legs, but her strength was much greater.
"Millie doesn't seem to be thin, is the treadmill not working?"
"Coo-goo. ”
Millie doesn't know, she just knows that the treadmill is super fun, but Sika always sneaks down after a while and then stops playing.
After Wang Huisu finished breakfast, he took out the wormwood and stick incense that had been prepared from the cabinet, which were some customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, and had the meaning of blessing and exorcism.
She put wormwood in the crack of the lintel, and lit a few thumb-sized sticks of incense, and hung them in the room, and soon there was some smoke in the room.
These small customs have not been done by many families now, Wang Huisu has done it every year, just like a sense of ceremony, although Qiqi does not like the smoke of sticks, but as long as he smells this smell, he has a feeling that the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived.
For example, when you see moon cakes, you know that the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived, and when you see fireworks, you know that the Spring Festival has arrived.
In many cities, fireworks are not allowed during the Spring Festival, and everyone will feel less New Year's flavor.
After breakfast, the family was ready to go out to grandma's house, before leaving, Li Yumin also carefully checked the potential safety hazards, and after confirming that there was no problem, he closed the door and went out together.
"Can you bring Millie over, will it run away, if Lime is at home, you can ask her to help watch the little rabbit." Wang Huisu looked at Li Wanqi's left hand with a rabbit and a cat in his right hand, and couldn't help but complain.
"Sister Lime is also home today, she said that she will only come back tonight, don't worry, Millie is very well-behaved, I have brought it out many times, it is better than Sika. ”
"Goo!"
Millie is very happy, and she is happy to go out with Sika, otherwise she would always leave Millie alone at home, and Millie would be very sad, and she would die if she was sad.
After getting into the car, Wang Huisu sat in the co-pilot, and Li Wanqi took Millie and Sika to the back.
Sika likes to ride in the car, and when the car starts, he leans on the window and looks out at the moving scenery.
Millie was very quiet in the car, obediently staying in Qiqi's arms, looking at Sika who was watching the scenery with big eyes.
Grandma's house is in the suburbs of southern Jiangsu, where they all speak dialects, Li Yumin doesn't understand it very well, and usually Li Wanqi and Wang Huisu's mother and daughter go back more.
Wang Huisu has an older sister, she is the second, and there is a younger sister and younger brother below.
Qiqi's grandfather died early, and left when she was still ignorant, Qiqi had a vague impression of her grandfather, and her grandmother lived alone in the old house, but when she was old, she felt that her roots grew in the old house, and she didn't want to move outside to live. Her uncle was in town, and he would go back to the old house every day to see the old lady.
My grandmother is over 70 years old this year, and her body is still neat, but she is more forgetful and doesn't talk much, except for occasionally chatting with neighbors, many times she moves a small stool under the eaves and sits alone, and when she is tired of sitting, she takes a broom to sweep the fallen leaves in the courtyard.
Unlike my grandparents' house, my grandmother's old house was not rebuilt, it was still the old-fashioned one-story bungalow from many years ago, and the gray stone outside the wall fell down rustlingly.
This Dragon Boat Festival, only Wang Huisu's family and uncle's family went back to their grandmother's house for the holiday, and the aunt and aunt did not come back, after all, after the woman got married, she went back to her mother's house less often, and those who usually celebrated the New Year and the festival also followed back to her mother-in-law's house.
There was some traffic jam on the road today, and after more than an hour, the car drove into this small village.
Looking at the village that has changed quite a lot in his memory, Li Wanqi was also a little emotional, until the car stopped in front of the old house, the old house still looked exactly the same as it was back then, but the house was older, and the grandmother sitting under the eaves was also older, like the old star fruit tree in the courtyard, obviously it was early summer, but it had many yellow leaves.
Seeing the white car parked in front of the house, my grandmother was stunned, and then she slowly stood up with one hand on the edge of the door, her body was thin and thin, wearing a washed and somewhat whitish old cloth clothes, her head unconsciously poked forward, her cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, trying to see whose car it was.
Li Wanqi hugged Sika and Millie and opened the car door and ran in first.
"Grandma, I'll come back and wrap rice dumplings for you to eat!"
Grandma opened her mouth, although she was already rickety and her eyes were cloudy, Li Wanqi could clearly see a smile blooming on the skin of her wrinkled eyes, like a flower blooming on the bark of an old pine tree.
"Seventy-seven, ah......"
"Uh-huh, how are you doing?"
Li Wanqi put Sika and Millie down and let them play in the courtyard by themselves, and came over to hold Grandma's thin arm.
She was really thin, and she felt like a layer of old bark wrapped around a skeleton, which made Li Wanqi feel a little distressed.
"Okay, no problem......"
Grandma hasn't seen Qiqi for half a year, and she is happy, she is a little hunchbacked, and when she was young, she was as tall as Qiqi, but now Qiqi is much taller than her.
"Mom!"
Wang Huisu walked up to her with something in her hand and called her affectionately.
"Have you had breakfast? There are still a few zongzi in the pot, I'll go and heat them up for you." ”
Wang Huisu and Li Wanqi hurriedly grabbed her, Li Wanqi smiled and said, "We have eaten, Mommy said that I will come back today to wrap you in zongzi to eat." ”
"Normally, I wrap it every year, but I can't work hard for these two years. ”
"It's okay, grandma, I'll wrap it for you!"
Back in the room where she grew up, Wang Huisu felt like she had changed back to the little girl who took on housework back then, but the taste in her heart was different from back then.
She and Li Yumin brought some tonic products they bought for their mother into her room, and on the old desk, there was an old and yellowed old photo, which was a group photo of the family, their four sisters and brothers, and Qiqi's grandparents.
Wang Huisu had some longing in his eyes, looked at it for a while, put the photo frame back in its place, and went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Sika wandered around the courtyard for a while, and then jumped up to the star fruit tree, where there was a nest of small birds, and when the mother saw such a big cat jumping up, she landed on the opposite side of the nest, and chirped and tried to attract the attention of the big cat so that it would not spot the birds in the nest.
Sika looked curiously, and without bothering the nest, jumped down from the tree and ran into the house.
Millie was working diligently in the courtyard to help her grandmother weed, and when she saw Sika running into the house, she ran in with her.
"Qiqi, have you been studying hard lately? You are in the third year of junior high school this year, when will you take the high school entrance examination?"
"Grandma, I took the high school entrance examination last year, and now I am a freshman in high school, and after the final exam next month, I will be a sophomore in high school, and then I will have to divide liberal arts and sciences. ”
"Oh...... Yes, yes, you came back to me after the exam last year, and I always messed up......"
Li Wanqi and her grandmother sat on a small wooden bench under the eaves and chatted, her grandmother was a little forgetful, and she couldn't remember many things clearly, she thought Qiqi was studying in junior high school.
Chatting and chatting, Grandma remembered something.
"Qiqi, you sit here, I'll go in and get something for you. ”
"What's it, I'll get it for you. ”
So Li Wanqi helped her grandmother into the room, and Sika looked at the old wall calendars and some cheap decorative calligraphy and paintings on the wall in the living room, all of which were many years ago, and even the paper was dull yellow.
Seeing Qiqi and his grandmother enter the room, Sika also followed.
I saw my grandmother rummaging through the cabinet, and it seemed that she didn't find what she wanted to give Qiqi.
"Where did I put it......"
Grandma couldn't think of it, so she looked for it in various places where she might put it, and finally took out a red envelope in a coat pocket in the wardrobe.
The cover of the red envelope is also very old-fashioned, containing two hundred yuan.
When she finally found the red envelope, her grandmother smiled, she remembered the wrapping and almost forgot where she put it.
She stuffed the red envelope into Qiqi's hands, her hands like dead branches, holding Qiqi's white and delicate hands, and said with a smile: "It was your birthday a few days ago, and you didn't come back, so I kept the red envelope for you, and you will be sixteen years old after your birthday, you must study hard and be healthy." ”
"Grandma'......"
Qiqi's eyes were a little red, she knew that her grandmother was forgetful, but she didn't expect to remember her birthday, but she mistakenly remembered that she was seventeen years old this year, and she was no longer sixteen years old.
"Mmmmmmmm
"Meow!"
