Chapter 134, the evil door
There are two purses on Jin Zhu's body, one is the last time Pan Xiaowei saw it, which can be used as a handbag or as a wallet, and the other is slightly larger than that, which is a gift she gave to herself last year when she was fifteen years old, embroidered with an auspicious cloud pattern with bats and gourds.
This purse gold beads are used to hold household registration books, current passbooks and other important things, generally do not carry on the body, today is to come to the city to rent a house, she is afraid that the other party will see their household registration book, so she specially took it.
Of course, the purse used by Jin Zhu himself is more delicate than that of Jin Yang and Jin Liu, and the embroidery patterns are more complicated, so as soon as these two purses are taken out, the eyes of the two foreigners immediately lit up.
After taking the purse in the hand of the gold bead, the two foreigners were a little in love, and learned that the gold bead was not specifically sold for this, but a gift for their own family, they seemed to be more interested, and pulled the gold bead to ask what the meaning of those patterns on each purse was.
Jin Zhu stumbled and said it in English, and felt that some parts of the expression were incomplete, so he asked Li Xiang to translate it again.
Li Xiang's spoken language was exercised when he was selling things in Tianjiazhai, and Jin Zhu knew that in order to force himself to speak, he would deliberately find foreigners to sell things.
"Girl, you are awesome, you can make such a good thing at a young age, and you are very friendly to your younger brothers and sisters, I like you very much." The wife took Jinzhu's hand and looked at it, and gave Jinzhu a hug.
"My wife loves these purses so much that we came up with a thousand dollars to buy them." The man held out a finger.
Jin Zhu shook his head.
Li Yuyuan, who came later, felt a little inexplicable, she didn't think that the current foreigners were fools and fools. She's dealt with them a lot, but which one isn't a goblin?
But now it's a good thing, I have to spend a thousand dollars to buy four used old purses. This is really evil, and what is even more evil is that the gold beads are not for sale.
Li Yuyuan asked for the purse from the foreigner's hand to take a look, and she saw at a glance that these patterns were not Miao embroidery, "What kind of embroidery is this?" ”
"I can't say what embroidery is, I just think it's not interesting to always embroider those things. Later, when I read ancient texts, I learned that ancient people liked to use bats, auspicious clouds, pine cranes, gourds and other auspicious animals as embroidery patterns. I drew a few tricks to try, and it just so happened that these purses were given to my family as birthday gifts, and the picture was auspicious. I didn't expect anyone to like it. Jin Zhu explained lightly.
The pair of foreigners next to him were in a hurry, urging Li Xiang to translate the words of Jin Zhu and Li Yuyuan.
"Mom, do you remember that I sent you a few photos of purses, which were embroidered with gold beads. That's it. Pan Xiaowei on the side pointed to the sapphire blue purse. I think this purse must be particularly beautiful with an evening dress of the same color in my hand. ”
Li Xiang translated Pan Xiaowei's words to the foreigner, and the other party thought that Pan Xiaowei had fallen in love with the sapphire blue handbag, so in a hurry, he opened his wallet, took out a stack of pink tickets inside, and ordered fifteen for Li Xiang.
"But it's my birthday present to my sisters and myself." Jin Zhu felt that it was commemorative and did not want to sell it.
Let's talk about the two purses she used herself. It took her more than half a month, of course. Her more than half a month refers to her spare time, not really half a month is used to make purse embroidery.
"Eldest sister, birthdays are there every year, gifts can be given every year, and foreigners who are so knowledgeable don't often have them." Jin Yang irrefuted Jin Zhu's words without question.
The rent of two old houses is 4,000 a year, and they have to rent it at least until they graduate from Jinliu High School, which will take seven years, and the cost of this item will be nearly 30,000 yuan, which is still under the premise that the rent does not rise.
Later, when she came to live in the county, she couldn't grow vegetables, and no one sent vegetables, except for rice and oil, she had to spend money to buy everything, and water and electricity also had to spend money, and she conservatively estimated that a month's living expenses would have to be eight or nine hundred or even a thousand yuan, not to mention tuition, books and other unexpected unexpected expenses.
Therefore, the commemorative significance of these four purses is far less important than the 1,500 yuan in Jin Yang's eyes.
As long as there are people, just do it.
When Jin Zhu saw Jin Yang say this, he said to the other party in English:
"These two big ones, one thousand, the gift I spent half a month giving myself, two small ones, one five hundred, a total of three thousand."
Jin Zhu is still confident in her own craftsmanship, although she is not a professional embroiderer, but her embroidery and cooking skills are the same as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which are compulsory courses.
Of course, ladies like them generally don't learn large embroidery, but the underwear and purse handkerchiefs and shoes of the future husband must be learned.
The other party understood Jin Zhu's words, and the husband and wife took these two big purses and studied them carefully for a while, muttered a few words, then nodded, took out another stack of pink tickets from their wallets, counted fifteen more, and gave Jin Zhu together with the pile just now, and then took out the contents of the purse with a smile and returned it to Jin Zhu.
"Why do you like these purses?" Li Yuyuan asked in English.
"It's an old art." Li Xiang translated the other party's answer to Jin Zhu.
"Ancient art?" Li Yuyuan was puzzled.
Embroidery is an ancient art, but I haven't seen anyone who can sell it for so much money with a few purses?
"This is my business card, I am doing this Miao embroidery artwork export, if you are interested, I can show you our company's products." Li Yuyuan took out a business card and gave it to the other party.
The other party looked at the string of English titles on the business card, nodded, and made an appointment with Li Yuyuan.
After the two foreigners left, Li Yuyuan turned around and asked Jin Zhu what else he would do, how long he had studied embroidery, etc.
"My eldest sister can do everything, the clothes we wear are all made by her, my eldest sister can also embroider lace, handkerchiefs, by the way, most of the clothes you saw in the store just now were designed by my eldest sister." Jin Yang didn't wait for Jin Zhu to speak.
Because she knew that Jin Zhu would never sell herself in front of outsiders, and she used to go out to sell things with Jin Zhu. The gold beads never sell, they just put things there.
"What? No way? Jin Zhu, do you mean that the dress I tried just now was also made by you? Pan Xiaowei's mouth opened wide. The news was so irritating to her.
"The first samples were made by me, and now they are imitations. My mom was a tailor. ”
"That's it, Jin Zhu, you make another one like those purses just now, and I'll give you three thousand yuan, okay? By the way, here's my business card. Call me when you're ready. Li Yuyuan took out another business card from her bag.
"Okay, no problem." Jin Zhu happily agreed.
Last time Pan Xiaowei wanted to buy her purse, she didn't sell it, so she guessed that there would be such a day. So make excuses for yourself.
What Jin Zhu didn't know was that after a few of them left, Li Yuyuan's mother and daughter returned to the small shop just now, this time. Li Yuyuan carefully studied the clothes designed by Jinzhu.
A few gold beads that returned home with a large bag and a small bag. Before I even had time to make dinner, the neighbor's grandmother came, saying that as soon as Jinzhu left in the morning, two guests came to the house, saying that they were from Hedong Village.
"Hedong Village?" Jin Zhu thought of Li Weiweng's two sons.
"Eldest sister, I don't like people on my grandmother's side." Jin Liu pouted.
"You don't like it, who does?" Jin Yang choked angrily.
"Forget it, we don't care about them. After this summer vacation, we moved to the county seat. Jin Zhu said.
"What's the use of that. That's closer to them. Jin Liu said.
"Okay, with the eldest sister here, the eldest sister won't let them take advantage."
Based on the current situation of Jin Zhu, it is estimated that those people will not come to the door to bully them, but to think about how to borrow some light from them.
Who knew that Jin Zhu waited for three days, not Li Weiweng, but Yang Xiaohong's family.
Yang Xiaohong: When they came, Jin Zhu was choosing vegetables and washing vegetables by the well platform, and when she saw them, Jin Zhu stood up and said hello if she was unwilling.
"You're home alone, what about the three of Jin Yang?" Yang Xiaohong glanced into the room.
"I went to Tianjiazhai to sell boiled corn."
"How much money can you make selling that? By the way, during this time, I saw Jin Liu on TV and made another advertisement for tourist shoes, and you still shouted poverty? Yang Xiaohong pursed her lips.
"Auntie, are you here for something?" Jin Zhu didn't want to bother with her.
"This baby, how can you speak? It's okay, my aunt can't come to see you? Yang Xiaohong raised her eyebrows and reprimanded.
Probably realizing that his words were a little heavy, thinking of today's intention, Yang Xiaohong hurriedly sighed, and changed his words, "Alas, we used to run here on weekends, but now we want to come back but have nowhere to go." ”
"What are you doing with these words? Why is there nowhere to go? Aren't there still a few nieces in Jinzhu? Take advantage of the proximity to come back a few more times, and it will not be easy to come back when you go to the county seat in the future. Wu Xiaowei took over the conversation.
"Uncle, has your transfer been done?" Jin Zhu asked.
"It's done, the formalities have been completed, go to Chengguan for a small time." Speaking of this, Wu Xiaowei showed a hint of pride, in the future, he will be the teaching director of Chengguan Elementary School, and the welfare treatment will be stronger than below.
"Really? Congratulations, when are you moving out? ”
"At the beginning of next month, the house over there was repainted to let it smell." After Yang Xiaohong finished speaking, she squatted beside Jin Zhu and helped Jin Zhu choose a dish.
Jin Zhu saw that the other party wanted to stay here to eat, but he was afraid that there was some other purpose, and he didn't know if it was for Li Xiang.
Although she was unwilling, Jinzhu couldn't think of a way to get rid of people, because she had already asked once, and it would not be appropriate to ask again.
There is another point, Jin Liu and Jin Niu went to school in the town, she owed Wu Xiaowei a favor, after this summer vacation, Jin Liu and Jin Niu went to the county seat to study, and they also entered the city for a small time, Jin Zhu had to ask Wu Xiaowei to take care of the two of them again, and the relationship was stiff and inappropriate.
Thinking of this, Jin Zhu changed his smile and stood up, "Auntie, it's rare for my uncle to come here, stay here to eat at noon, I'll go to wash rice and cook rice." ”
Sure enough, Yang Xiaohong immediately had a smile on her face when she heard this, she had already smelled the smell of bone broth wafting from the kitchen.
Jin Zhu smiled when he saw it, went into the kitchen, scooped up the rice, brought down the soup pot, replaced it with an iron pot for cooking rice, and began to think about which dishes to cook.
During this time, because they went to Tianjiazhai every day to earn some money, and with the 50,000 yuan of advertising money as the base, the food at home was really good. Of course, Jin Zhu didn't want to lose Li Xiang, because Li Xiang, who came back after the college entrance examination, was too thin.
After thinking about a few dishes to be made, when he was about to cut the vegetables, Yang Xiaohong came in with two pots of washed vegetables, sat on the fire pier, and began to complain to Jin Zhu.
said that she owed tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house, that the house in the town was not easy to sell, that she had to lose her job when she went to the county seat, that the salary of being a teacher was too low, and so on.
Jin Zhu thought that she still had the idea of partnering with Lin Yuemei, but Yang Xiaohong didn't know what to say, and she also pretended to be confused.
"Jin Zhu, can I ask, how much is the rent of the house you rent in the town a year?"
"Three thousand." Although Jin Zhu felt that the other party's words were a little abrupt, she felt that there was nothing to hide, and told the truth.
"Jin Zhu, my aunt will discuss with you, you also want to rent a house, the house is so big, it's still outside the school, it's not safe, it's better for you to rent your aunt's house, your aunt doesn't want more from you, it's also 3,000 a year, you give this money to an outsider, it's better to give it to your aunt, you can top your aunt's salary for three months."
"Ouch." The knife in Jinzhu's hand accidentally cut her fingers, and she was so surprised.
It turned out that he didn't come to ask her to intercede, but wanted to rent the house to her.
"What's wrong, why are you so careless." Yang Xiaohong heard Jin Zhu cry out of pain, stood up, and saw that Jin Zhu's fingers were bleeding, so she hurriedly turned around and went out, picked a few wormwood leaves out of nowhere, crushed them, and put them on Jin Zhu.
"Okay, okay, you come and light the fire, what are you doing, I'll cut the vegetables." Yang Xiaohong took over the work in Jin Zhu's hands, and then continued the topic just now.
"Auntie, it's not that I don't give you face, after school starts, we also plan to go to the county seat, I don't worry about leaving the three of Jin Yang in the town." Jin Zhu was very glad that Li Xiang had made this arrangement for her, otherwise, Yang Xiaohong would not be such a person who gave up so easily.
"Ouch." This time it was Yang Xiaohong who cut his hand.
She never imagined that Jinzhu had the ability to bring the family to the county seat, the county seat is not better than the town, and the cost of living is much higher than that in the countryside, even they are worried that the future will be difficult, why does Jinzhu have such confidence?
"Uncle, my aunt cut her hand." Jin Zhu shouted at the window, secretly complaining in his heart that Li Xiang shouldn't sharpen the knife so quickly.
As soon as Jin Zhu's words fell, Li Xiang and they came back, and Jin Liu and Jin Niu ran in first. (To be continued......)
