"Xiaoyan, it's almost the New Year, do you have to take the embroidery to the embroidery village and sell it for some silver and needlework back? We are not short of silver now, but Tang Guihua and their family are afraid that they will ......" Liu Lanhua finished embroidering the purse in her hand and looked at Zhang Xiaoyan who was reading.

Zhang Xiaoyan put down the book, calculated the days, and when she went back to Tang Guihua, she used the silver she exchanged to buy rice and oil for them, and there was still some silver left, even if they didn't sell embroidery years ago, they could survive the New Year. I'm afraid that they have any plans after the year, and it's always better to have some extra money in hand.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, go over and take a look at the mandarin duck playing in the water embroidered by the third aunt, it's just a god, I've never seen such a realistic embroidery." Brother Zhu walked excitedly from the other side of the room on crutches, his face full of joy and surprise.

Zhong'er saw that Brother Zhuzi came over with a cane by himself, and did not follow Grandpa Wang or Grandma Wang, but circled around Brother Zhuzi like a little bird: "Brother Zhuzi can go, Brother Zhuzi can go!" ”

Zhuzi was dumbfounded for a moment, and then shouted excitedly: "I can go, I can actually go, Xiaoyan, look, you see that I can really go." ”

The fourth child of the Zhang family and Liu Lanhua looked at the pillar with an incredulous expression. If the pillars can be walked, then the third brother will definitely be able to be like a normal person.

It's good to be young!

Not only does the bones recover fast enough, but even the absorption is much stronger than that of Dad. The same acupuncture, the same ointment, Brother Zhu can actually walk with a stick.

Looking at the changes in the pillar happily, Zhang Xiaoyan instructed the fat girl beside her: "Brother Zhuzi, sit down, the fat girl go and bring the medicinal soup in the pot with a bucket, I will take down the ointment and take a look at the needle." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away!" The fat girl nodded again and again, and Zhong'er also followed to help.

After a while, a bucket of black medicinal soup was brought over, and he picked up the trouser tube to remove the ointment that had been absorbed by the gouache, washed it a little with a little hot medicinal soup, and Zhang Xiaoyan used a silver needle to detect the recovery of the meridians.

At this time, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, who went outside to pick up dry firewood, came back, put down the firewood and came in to warm up, and saw Zhang Xiaoyan giving his son a needle by the fire, and the two elders put away their trembling hands and did not dare to approach for fear of disturbing the attention of the needle.

The people in the room held their breath, everyone's eyes were almost fixed on Zhang Xiaoyan's movements, seeing that every time she took a deep breath from the needle, she was worried about it, and the last needle was taken out of her skin, and she spat out a relieved smile on her face.

"How? Little Swallow! The fat girl looked even more excited than Brother Zhuzi.

"It's very good, Brother Zhuzi's legs are normal, and he still tries to walk as little as possible in the recovery stage. The acupuncture on the acupuncture points has to be maintained for about a month, and the formula of the ointment has to be modified to a certain extent. "Zhang Xiaoyan has discovered some new things, which should be very helpful for her father's recovery, and you have to think about it carefully.

"It's really normal, Xiaoyan, what you said is true!" Uncle Wang stood up excitedly.

"Of course it's true, Brother Zhu came over by himself with a stick just now, everyone saw it." The fat girl said with a sincere face.

Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang hugged their heads and cried after hearing this, and after crying, the two looked at each other and were about to kneel down for Zhang Xiaoyan. Zhang Xiaoyan jumped up in fright, squatted down and helped the two up: "Grandpa Wang, grandma, aren't you breaking my birthday!" Also, on such a cold day, I told you not to go out to collect firewood, the warehouse behind us is enough for a winter. ”

The two wiped their tears, and Aunt Wang said embarrassedly: "I can't help you with anything, where is it embarrassing for the two of us to eat and live for nothing?" ”

The fat grandmother was not happy when she heard this, and pulled down her face to blame them: "What are you talking about? The pillar is also busy earning silver, why did he eat and drink for nothing? Besides, isn't it your old man who brought the two children into the city, and if you say something like this, you don't treat us as a family! ”

"That'...... Those are the little things. Uncle Wang spread his hands and looked at the fat grandmother angrily, not knowing what to say.

"It's not that a family doesn't enter the door, don't say this in the future, everyone doesn't like to hear it. Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, and Brother Zhuzi are not in a master-servant relationship now, but a cooperative relationship, so our status is the same, besides, this is our big family, everyone is relatives and no outsiders, and if I see you go out to collect firewood on a cold day again, I will really be angry. After Zhang Xiaoyan finished saying this in one breath, she immediately changed the topic and looked at Brother Zhuzi, who was crying: "Brother Zhuzi, you just said that what happened to my mother's embroidered mandarin duck?" ”

"Hey...... Look at my brain, patronize and be happy about my own things, quickly, follow me to see the embroidery of the third aunt, it is simply a god. After the pillar finished speaking, he was about to go out barefoot with a stick, but Zhang Xiaoyan sat down directly: "Just recover a little, you just want to mess around." The place where the weather is cold and recovers must not be frozen, you just sit by the fire if you have nothing to do, this month is very important, Zhong'er, you are responsible for watching your pillar brother. ”

"Roger! Sister! I promise to complete the task you gave me, Brother Zhuzi, you will have to listen to me from today onwards, haha! Zhong'er patted her chest confidently and grinned.

Zhang Xiaoyan wrapped the pillar with ointment, and let the fourth uncle carry it to the house of her father and mother. When I entered the house and saw my father, I sat in front of the embroidery in a daze, and my mother smiled with satisfaction.

Zhang Xiaoyan and Liu Lanhua leaned their heads over, and when they saw the mandarin ducks on the embroidery, they opened their mouths in shock, unable to believe that such a superb product was really from the hands of a village woman.

Zhang Xiaoyan is not too expert in embroidery, and she has some foundation. I have seen a lot of high-end embroidery at home and abroad before, and the price of this embroidery is not too low even in modern times, it is like embroidering mandarin ducks alive.

I had the opportunity to visit a few embroidery masters with my friends before, and I learned from them that there were many embroidery skills in ancient times that gradually disappeared with the passage of time. Especially for those tribute-level gifts sent in the palace, it is difficult to find inheritors.

Judging from the experience she had seen before, her mother could embroider such a picture, which must have been cultivated and nurtured since childhood, otherwise two months of hard work would not be able to complete the effect at all.

"Sister-in-law, you are simply amazing, can you teach me?" Liu Lanhua was staggered, when would she be able to have such a skill.

"If you want to learn, you can." Bai Qingshui came back to his senses and immediately responded to the request of his younger brother and daughter-in-law.

"That'...... Can I learn then? The pillar spoke excitedly in the back, his eyes shining like wolves, which was his dedication and love for embroidery.
