Helped my daughter pick out the silk thread, bought a few pieces of silk cloth for practice, this silk can be used as a child's jacket, can also be made into a purse or pillow cover, the clothes worn on the body, pearls do not like such inferior silk, one is because such silk is too hard, rough, not breathable, the color is not correct, and it is easy to fade, wearing it on the body, whether it is winter or summer, it is not a good choice. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pearl also taught her daughters how to know the fabrics, where they came from, what dyes were used, and where they were not good. What color of fabric is used along the edge or to make a belt, what kind of pattern is embroidered, it is said to be very detailed, and there are some professional things, such as how to deal with people's figures, how to look better, not only the four daughters listened to it with relish, but the shopkeeper next to him and a Washington son of about thirty are also here, looking at the mother and daughter, obviously curious about what they said, and then curious about their identity,

When Pearl had picked out the material for the four daughters to make cotton clothes and clothes to put on the sweater, and came to choose the material for the man to wear, the shopkeeper and the son in the fancy dress followed to the other side to listen. Pearl doesn't need to care about them at all, let alone be affected by them, the four girls also saw it and had ideas in their hearts, but after Pearl has been trained for so long, they naturally won't make anything that makes people look down on them, or they can guess their words and deeds. Listen carefully, ask in a low voice, the four girls have benefited a lot, the daughter-in-law is not their own, and the son is not their own now, the second and the second are just stealing to make up for it, and the remaining two. There is no need to bother. As for Zhou Ze's clothes, he naturally uses the best materials in the house, but there is no suitable material for making the upper, and the past human relations at home are Zhou Ze going out, and the original owner is not out, and the children around him are even more so. Now it's different, Pearl plans to let four girls make shoes for a few old people in the village, although Pearl doesn't like to make shoes, and dislikes this job will make his hands thicker, but. Teach a woman's technical work and mind. And this sentiment, making shoes is the most obvious problem. Everyone's foot shape is different, and even the size of the left and right feet is different, and some people's thumb joints are protruding. Some people have short heels on their heads. Your shoes don't fit. If you wear it, you will lose it.

When everything is chosen, call the guy to calculate the accounts. At this time, the shopkeeper said to Pearl, "Look at this sister-in-law is very knowledgeable!" It's just that I'm a little curious, even if you're a professional embroiderer, you may not know so much, right? Sister-in-law, isn't her family in the fabric business? But I heard you talk about this embroidery and sewing, and I don't understand it, it seems that my Lao Li has met someone who understands, can my sister-in-law tell me, where is it from? ”

Pearl smiled and said, "I know about fabrics because my family used to do this business, and this embroidery art is my ability to eat, and the children have not learned it, but now that they are older, they still have to learn some." We are in Guojia Village. Last name Zhou. ”

"Listen to the meaning of the sister-in-law, relying on this craft to support the family, there must be a background, whether to learn whether it is Su embroidery or Shu embroidery?" The shopkeeper does not let go,

Pearl said, "If you want to say that there are factions, it's really hard to say, Su embroidery and Hunan embroidery are said to be the four famous embroideries today, but each sect has its own faction, and there are differences in geography and inheritance, so I don't know how many factions are divided. ”

"Listening to this sister-in-law's meaning, it seems to be learning from the strengths of all families! I don't know if my sister-in-law has such a memory, why don't you give it to your daughter? "It turned out to be the gentleman in the fancy costume who was talking,

Pearl looked at several daughters and said, "We are civilians, this embroidery girl can naturally earn money, have the ability, and can even support a family, but this embroidery girl is also the hardest, after forty will begin to have backache and leg pain, it will never be long, the eyes will not be easy to use, when the time comes, not old and not small, but the eyes are blind, at that time, what will happen?" What's more, I don't want my baby daughter to be used as a tool to earn money for the family. ”

These words can really be called deafening, needless to say about the four daughters, the son and the shopkeeper listened to it, and also felt that this woman really loved her daughter. The four girls thought in their hearts, no wonder their mothers never leaked their embroidery, it turned out that this was for their long-term and their happiness!

When Pearl left with the four girls, the boy said to the shopkeeper, "I bet this woman definitely has magic skills." ”

"Wouldn't it? It can be said that the craftsmanship is good, and it is an embroiderer. Where can it still be called a miracle? "The shopkeeper has also seen the world, but in a county, the good things seen are naturally limited, not to mention that this is not a developed textile area, and a good embroidery girl is just like that, can really embroider double-sided embroidery and lifelike good things, so many years, but no one has ever seen. I don't blame him, if there is such a thing, it must have been sent to the high-ranking family a long time ago.

The boy smiled and said, "I have seen such things in the state capital, and the embroidered things are almost as if they are the real thing, embroidered on both sides, embroidered on both sides, embroidered on both sides of different colors." It's amazing, and I heard the boss say that the one who embroidered this thing is an ordinary peasant woman in our county, and I think the peasant woman should be this woman. ”

"Oh, sir, why don't you order some embroidery with her? What a rare opportunity! Even if you don't use embroidery to earn silver, you can give it as a gift in the future, which is extremely face-saving and weighty. ”

"You also heard her words, and I don't want to do it, but if you see her next time, you can tell her that you know that she used to sell things in the state capital, and if there is embroidery, you might as well send it, and the price given will definitely not be less than that of the state capital."

"Yes, it's still the master who said it, I will definitely not forget it."

Doing the Lantern Festival is also a big deal, Pearl thought, this year's New Year is not good, the price is very high, I am afraid that there are not many people willing to buy anything for the Lantern Festival, but Pearl thought, for Zhou Ze, this Lantern Festival will also be lively, this is not only their family is lively, it should be good to let the village be happy, in this case, make more preparations. I bought meat, and I bought flour, glutinous rice, dried fruits, beans, sesame seeds, hawthorn, etc., and I also bought cheese and eggs, as well as melon seeds, peanuts, candy, preserved fruits, there is a cooked food shop, the taste seems to be good, Pearl went in and bought some marinated dried tofu, eggs, as well as beef and roast chicken, Pearl bought a lot. There were also snacks, I picked soft and delicious snacks, fruit wine, saw that there were lanterns for sale, and bought a lot, Pearl herself also bought some bamboo strips, and went back to buy colorful transparent yarn and thread to make winding, red paper and colored paper also bought a lot, and went to change the new money, bought a lot of small toys, wood carved ponies, bamboo dragonflies, leather balls and spinning tops.

The whole family was very happy to pull back so many things, and next, Pearl made fireworks and firecrackers in the warehouse herself, bombs can be made, not to mention anything else. This one, I did dozens of them. After that, he asked Zhou Ze and Zhou Xin to make lantern shelves, and Zhou Deng prepared a lot of poles to make lantern racks. The girls sewed gauze while tying the yarn, and embroidered patterns on the gauze, and then the colored lanterns made of paper paste could be cut and pasted, and there were folding colored paper lanterns for the children to carry. Lantern riddles are a must, the highest reward is a string of new copper coins, as well as silk flowers, colorful head ropes, as well as purses and handkerchiefs, there are also boys' favorite spinning tops, slingshots, leather balls, etc., the worst can also get a handful of candy! Lantern riddles won't be hard either.

Pearl mentioned that he had invited Zhou Ze's friends in the village, and he had a good relationship with him, the neighbors around him, and the friends of his grandson at home were all invited. It is said that Lantern Festival, rice balls, dim sum and candy are prepared, as well as fruit wine to drink, and fireworks to watch. Everyone is very happy, knowing that their family wants to make a lot of lanterns, for a while, the village has a clever big girl and little daughter-in-law have come to help, the men also help to erect poles, make lantern racks, help to prepare, people in the nearby village also heard, through the people in the village, also said to see, pearl of course there is no allowed, simply let everyone put the lamp stand outside the door, there is a big place, there is a very spacious place next to it, when the fireworks, do not have to worry about the fire, the distance is the field, it is a good place to set off fireworks.

The people in the village want to come and see, and they also have an interest in tying lanterns, whether it is good or not, it is all the same meaning, there are many people who see pearls, everyone is so supportive, and especially let people buy a few well-made lanterns from the city, and the color head has also increased silver bracelets, gold rings, gold and silver nudes. The Zhou family has people coming all day long, it's not lively, Zhou Ze is the most happy to see it, Zhou Ze is happy, and Pearl is happy. The daughters of the family began to make new clothes and wear new jewelry, which was a gold necklace, a gold bracelet, a gold ring, and a gold earring. The second family didn't think there was anything, and the mother-in-law also stole things for her, which the daughters didn't have, but the other two people were different.

At dinner on this day, the whole family sat together, and the eldest daughter-in-law wore a gray and abrupt dress, and the Zhang family could put on the bride's wedding dress. The pearl does not rub sand in his eyes, the old nature is happy to see someone who can make his mother angry, and the third child has the heart to reprimand and is worried that something will happen to his pregnant wife. Although the four girls looked calm, Pearl could still tell that the four of them were angry. Pearl didn't say or ask, just told Zhou Ze about the things in the village, and said whose lanterns were made very strangely, seeing such a situation, the boss couldn't hold back at first, and asked his wife Zheng and said, "Xiaohuan, why do you wear this dress?" ”

"I'm just such a good jacket, so naturally I have to keep it for critical times to wear, anyway, at home, just wear this one."

Zhou Rong asked the third brother and sister Zhang Yue, "Third brother and sister, what do you mean?" Are you going to be a bride again? ”

"I can't do it, otherwise I have to make a new one, and besides, I'm a daughter-in-law of others, it's not good to be too extravagant."

Pearl didn't hear it, after eating, Pearl called Meng Shi to the house, asked her to help wrap the Lantern Festival and Tangyuan, wrapped it, and divided the clothes, and then let the second child and Meng Shi, and the four girls follow and send it, and also bring the shoes made by the girls. The people in the village have now also seen that the second family is afraid that they are going to stand up to the door of the old Zhou family. (To be continued.) )
