Chapter 42: You Push the Stone Mill

Su Qingyan didn't think much about it, and agreed casually: "He went out to work as a carpenter apprentice, I don't know when he will come back, we are all separated now, and we don't live together, we may not be able to meet, I will definitely tell him when I meet." ”

"Really?" When Zhang Dani heard this, her face was gloomy and she looked very lost, but she still said thank you.

Su Qingyan and Lu Tianhui settled Zhang Dani, agreed that the two of them would send her food at different times, and then went home separately, of course, Su Qingyan went back with the pile of pigweed that Lu Tianhui had cut.

After she went back, she didn't go home directly, but went to Wang Laohan's house next door.

"Auntie is at home, I just went to the mountains and cut some pigweed, I'll put it here." Su Qingyan saw that there was only the tiger baby and his mother, and the Yang family was at home, so he smiled and poured the pigweed in the basket aside, ready to leave.

The Yang family only has one son, Wang Huniu, although she still likes her son, but she has a son, and she doesn't have a daughter, she can't help but see that other girls are a little greedy, seeing that Su Qingyan is well-behaved and capable, and knows how to be polite, she likes it very much, so she hurriedly called out to her, and said: "Wait, my aunt has a piece of fabric here, I wear it too brightly at this age, and the cloth is not big, and there are no girls at home, you can take it and ask your mother to make a gown for you or your sister!" It's too small to put it in my place. ”

Saying that, she didn't care whether Su Qingyan agreed or not, so she went directly into the house, and took out a piece of peach-colored fabric from the house, which was really fresh.

Su Qingyan knew that the current dyeing process was very complicated, the more brightly colored clothes were, the more difficult it was to dye, and the higher the price.

In contrast, this peach-colored cloth is very conspicuous, especially when Su Qingyan found out that this was a piece of muslin cloth after getting closer, he was even more surprised, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be, auntie, this cloth looks very expensive, although it is not big, but you can make two small clothes, and you can still exchange some money for selling them at the market." ”

Su Qingyan was about to leave as he spoke, but was stopped by the Yang family: "You are a child, you think as much as you want, let me tell you the truth, I didn't spend money on this cloth, and I don't feel distressed if I gave it to you, why don't you give your aunt a thing, and you don't give your aunt face." ”

"That's not what I meant." Su Qingyan's eyes turned, and when he saw that this cloth had delicate stitches and well-proportioned lines, it was a good cloth for embroidery, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Auntie, do you know how to embroider?" I see that this cloth is brightly colored, and it must not have been sold to poor people like us, but there are no flowers on it.

"Yo, Xiao Nizi is quite eye-catching." Yang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Su Qingyan's eyes to be so poisonous, and then said with a smile: "Since you can see it, then I won't hide it from you, this cloth is a big family that asked me to make clothes for Miss, but Miss is thin, I cut it off, after the garment was finished, the owner was very satisfied, gave me a salary, and didn't ask for the rest of the cloth, so I put it there."

I often receive such work, there are a lot of pieces of cloth at home, some of the right colors, you can put together by yourself, cut clothes for the family to wear, but this piece of pink is too bright, there are no girls at home, so it has been placed there.

I think this piece of material can be made for you, you can make a small hanging, and if you make it for your sister, you can make a long skirt. ”

"In that case, can you show me what you embroidered?" To tell you the truth, my mother also knows some embroidery skills, and if you can, you two can find some work together. ”

"Really? I've always heard that your second aunt sells money by embroidering some handkerchiefs or something, but I've never heard that your mother will also be nicknamed. ”

As he spoke, Yang led Su Qingyan into the house and rummaged through her embroidery.

Su Qingyan saw that the Yang family really had two brushes, and the embroidery was not known how many times better than the second aunt, but the details and color matching, in terms of her professional art students, were still a little insufficient, especially the excessive light and shadow, in this era, these are not prosperous, but if you can vividly use embroidery thread to depict a wonderful picture, who can not love nicknames?

And Liu's lack of basic skills, and the needlework only learned a fur from her, compared with Yang's, but pay more attention to the overall beauty, so calculated, Liu's and Yang's together to discuss embroidery, it can be said that the long and short of each other.

Thinking of this, Su Qingyan nodded excitedly: "Then thank you Auntie for giving me this piece of muslin, I will go back and tell my mother, so that when my mother is free, I will come and discuss embroidery with my aunt." ”

So saying, he carried the bamboo basket on his back and went home with the piece of pink muslin.

Seeing Su Qingyan going out with the empty bamboo wilt on his back, and coming back with the empty bamboo wilt on his back, Liu Shi still held a piece of muslin in his hand, twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked in a weird manner: "You won't tell me that you went to the mountains for most of the day and made a piece of cotton cloth, or is it dyed?" ”

"Hehe, mother, you look up to your daughter too much, I'm not a fairy, I can still create things out of thin air." Su Qingyan looked at Liu's Xingshi's questioning appearance, and felt a little weak, thinking that his date with Lu Tianhui on the mountain had been discovered.

But there was no evidence, she was ready to die and not admit it, so she deliberately cut her pigweed and sent it to Lao Wang's house, and the Wang family's aunt gave her a piece of muslin, and she also wanted to cooperate with Liu's embroidery, and talked about it emphatically.

In the end, I couldn't help but add: "Mother, although we have done it separately now, and my father has been good to us, but we can't just rely on others, we still have to have the ability to earn our own money!" ”

"You're right, my mother also thought about this problem, at that time your second aunt embroidered her own handkerchief, she suffered a lot less than her mother, and now your grandmother has developed a way to make cool skin, the whole family has to listen to her, let's come here to know, even the tiger baby and his mother are doing some small business of sewing and mending, although they don't earn much, but they can earn money and reach out to ask others, that is different, so my mother also decided, but also to find a livelihood."

"I'm relieved if my mother thinks so, you can take your eldest sister and younger sister to learn embroidery together, Aunt Yang's embroidery skills are better than ours."

Su Qingyan told Liu some of Liu's advantages again, and pointed out the direction of her study, and it was time for lunch.

Su Xiang didn't know if it was because she told her about her family, she didn't say a word during the whole noon, she just lowered her head to eat her own things, and after eating, she put the bowl down and went back to her room.

Until he was full, Su Qingyan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked Liu to take Su Xiang and Su Wan to Lao Wang's house to discuss embroidery with Yang, Su Xiang was still blushing, looking like he didn't want to see anyone.

"Oh, eldest sister, go quickly, your little Langjun won't come today, and you won't come if you wait at home!" Su Qingyan joked that he was slapped in the back by Liu, and he was aggrieved, but he had to shut up.

"You can't be at home, you definitely can't be at home, get up tomorrow morning, and you will take your sister out to play!" Liu gritted his teeth and left with Su Xiang and Su Wan.

Su Qingyan is a girl, she has no shape all day long, but she has a lot of ghost ideas, Liu is not worried about her loss, but the other two daughters, one is about to get married, she is eager to let Su Xiang learn some skills, so that she can serve her husband in the future, and one is still young and can be cultivated well.
