Since Erlin's sister-in-law resigned from "Happy Xiaozao" and left, Xiaoguan has taken over almost all her work, and she is the second-generation "lobby manager". Even if the Shi family couple often didn't take care of the store in order to prepare for their daughter's wedding during this time, Xiao Guan was able to keep the store in order with the master of the kitchen, as well as the curly hair Xiao Dai, who became Shi's father's right-hand man: the three of them ran the hall, the kitchen, and the materials on top of each other, and played a beautiful cooperation with each other.

"That's not right, it's reversed, and as soon as the hand is loosened, the flower will spread out, believe it or not?" Seki is teaching two girls who have transitioned from temporary to full-time to fold napkins, a trick she learned in her hotel management class. As long as it is needed in the store and easy to teach, Xiao Guan always teaches others without reservation, which is not only her pure nature, but also the influence of Shi Jiaojiao's mother and daughter. "Napkin Flower" really fell loose as soon as his hand was loosened, Xiao Guan patiently demonstrated it again, looked up and saw Shi Jiaojiao standing at the end of the corridor, throwing things to colleagues, and hurriedly greeted him, "Sister." ”

The two little girls were not busy folding napkins and followed over to say hello to the proprietress 's daughter. Shi Jiaojiao tilted her head to look at the three girls and said with a smile: "If you don't take advantage of this time to sleep for a while, you will be too tired to stand it when the evening market opens!" The short-haired girl, who looked more clever, suddenly hugged Xiao Guan's arm and said proudly: "There are not many guests who are not afraid, Sister Guan asks us to pass the dishes, and when we turn over the table, it is not chaotic at all!" Shi Jiaojiao looked at Xiao Guan happily, "No wonder my mother is so relieved, she tosses me with all her thoughts!" The three young girls smiled and exchanged glances, and finally Xiao Guan was pushed out.

Seeing that the girls' faces were different, Shi Jiaojiao squinted, looked at Xiao Guan, who rubbed her hands and bit her lips, and asked, "Say, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Guan looked left and right, took Shi Jiaojiao's hand and said, "Sister, your wedding with Brother will come soon, and the three of us have prepared a gift." Although it is not a valuable good thing, it is made by our own hands, and I hope you can accept it. This sudden gift made Shi Jiaojiao a little confused, and asked, "You want to give it to me now?" Xiao Guan nodded, "Let Xiao Dai go to our dormitory to get it, and I'll be back soon." "This ......"

As he was talking, he heard a sound from the side door, and a curly cloth head poked in first, followed by two big dogs shaking their heads and tails, and finally Xiao Dai who drove away the animals at his feet while watching the road, the things in his hand may be a little heavy, and Xiao Dai's lean little arm that is used to loading and unloading goods is convex. "It's coming!" Xiao Guan patted Shi Jiaojiao's hand, ran to Xiao Dai with the girls, and stepped on the dense and chaotic footsteps in the wooden corridor, attracting Shi Mother and the cleaning lady, the eldest mother hung the mop that was still dripping in the square courtyard with plantains, stretched out her head and asked, "What is the trouble?" ”

By the time Xiao Dai carried the half-human-high cloth roll into the "Chaowu" box with a large square table and placed it on the table to open it, almost all the people in the store were there: the three members of the Shi family, the master chef who smoked a cigarette but rarely lit it, the lean assistant cook, and later the cleaning aunt and a taciturn male waiter, plus the three girls who gave gifts...... A dozen people lined up a spacious box a little cramped.

Master Fu Hang'er Lang touched his blue chin on the spot, "A few girls are mysterious, what do you want to see today?" For some reason, the assistant chef who got along with him day and night saw him speak, and his eyes were full of surprise and emotion.

Shi Jiaojiao looked at the three girls, Xiao Guan smiled, went around to the other side of the square table to untie the slippery button tied with the cloth roll, and unfolded it with the short-haired girl: this is indeed not a beautiful gift, it is a little smaller than the Eight Immortals table, and I don't know what practical use it will be. The texture of the embroidery cloth is rough and unsuitable, and it is necessary for people to press it to show the embroidery on it, and the embroidery is not the kind of delicate work that you are used to...... It's just such a gift, and the process of slowly opening it made Shi Jiaojiao really feel a strong and pure fresh emotion, which was poured into a stitch and thread, "Ah......" Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but cover her mouth.

The indigo blue of the embroidered cloth is solemn and does not show the slightest turbidity, which is presented by the relatives of Xiaoguan's hometown with a simple method that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the natural plant dyes are hammered into the fine cotton cloth at once. The craftsmanship and process of making cloth is complex and trivial, and it is a treasure that is only carefully prepared for the daughter to be married. On the clear blue, it is not an aggressive dragon and phoenix, nor a worldly mandarin duck, but a simple saturated color, embroidered with a bright color of a hundred butterflies to wear flowers, flowers and butterflies gather into a large cluster of flowers in the center of the blue cloth, gradually disperse to the four corners, and the layers are distinct.

"Sister, do you like it?" Xiao Guan asked with a smile, Shi Jiaojiao slowly recovered from the shock, she couldn't see that her eyes were already red, and asked in a suppressed voice, "This is what you did for me?" Xiao Guan shook his head shyly, "The cloth was prepared for me by my family, not woven by us or dyed by us." Then he looked at the two partners, "I made the pattern, and it was indeed embroidered by the three of us together." I didn't study hard when I was a child, and I was very annoyed with embroidery at first. Mother Shi looked at the fine needles and said in disbelief: "You two can also embroider?" The two younger girls nodded shyly.

"How can this catch up with the ......" Shi Jiaojiao looked at the butterfly with a vivid posture, her words were full of distress, and said to everyone: "I set the wedding date before and after a few months, and it is such a big picture, how hard it should be." Xiao Guan blinked, "Actually, we started embroidering very early, before you set a date, oh hee." As long as you like it, it's not hard at all. Shi Jiaojiao was really moved, but she still endured it awkwardly, and said angrily: "I like it, I like it very much, but I don't have to take it out casually all of a sudden, why don't you give me the wedding gift on a good day?" ”

At this time, several young people involuntarily dodged their eyes, and Xiao Guan was the most outspoken, saying: "You get married and you don't do it in the village, we ...... If you don't meet you before you get married, right? "Nonsense!" Shi Jiaojiao immediately drank Xiaoguan, and immediately asked her parents for a sentence, "Mom and Dad, on the day I got married, the store was on vacation, and everyone went to eat my wedding wine, is it okay?" Daddy Shi smiled, "I still want you to say!" The bus was booked for two, and they were all pulled over when the time came! You are our daughter, a girl who grew up in the village, and there are too many mother's families here! ”

The people in the store who got Shi Jiaojiao's wedding invitation worked harder and entered the state of hospitality in advance. Because she went to work on Monday, Shi Jiaojiao had to rush back to the city, and before leaving, she repeatedly told her family to put the precious gifts she received in advance into her cabinet. "Xiaoguan, in your hometown, what is this kind of embroidered cloth usually used for?" Shi Jiaojiao asked Xiao Guan privately, and Xiao Guan replied straightforwardly, "Originally, it was a piece of cloth to make a wedding dress for the daughter of the family and then embroider it on it." "That's right." "Hmm." ……

The hibiscus forest on the outskirts of the resort's empty plaza has not yet reached flowering stage, and its soft leaves make a nice rustling sound when rubbed. Under the tree, the circle of onion orchids blooms lively, and the six-petal white flowers stand on the thin flower stems, and the form is delicate.

Shi Jiaojiao and Xiao Guan took a shortcut and walked on the cobblestone path in the hibiscus forest, and it was Xiao Guan who insisted on sending her to take the red minibus. The two walked in silence for a while, and Xiao Guan suddenly realized that he said loudly: "Sister, the embroidery we gave you seems to be useless!" Shi Jiaojiao stopped and looked back at the young girl with a panicked face, pursed her lips and did not speak. Xiao Guan held his face, "It's not enough to be a quilt, and one less to be a pillow...... It's really useless! Shi Jiaojiao heard the car horn in the distance and patted the girl on the shoulder, "No, I've already figured out where to use it!" ”
