Chapter 2: The Sea at Night
Seeing Yu Yang's frightened face, Mrs. Yi couldn't hide it anymore, and laughed heartlessly: "I didn't change it, who else could it be?" You slept like a dead pig, and you didn't move for a long time, so I just changed your clothes and almost didn't give you a bath! ”
"You...... You're scaring me to death! Yu Yang took a big bite of the apple and complained, "Really! Why do you always love to play tricks on me? ”
Mrs. Yi put a plate of freshly fried egg bread in front of her, poured her a glass of milk, and said, "That's not that you are stupid and deceitful, you know the impossible with your toes, and you believe it." ”
"Hmph."
Yuyang finished eating the apples and began to eat the breakfast that Mrs. Yi prepared for her, her father was a doctor on the island, and he went out early, and he was no longer at home at this time, Mrs. Yi seemed to have eaten breakfast, sitting in front of Yuyang, holding her chin and looking at her good appetite, and asked, "Hey, I haven't asked you yet, how is the selection?" ”
"The pattern has been drawn, wait and go to buy fabrics with Shu Yu, hurry up these days, and have time to hand it over."
"Yes, yes, let me tell you, this selection is very important! You have to ......."
Before the excited Mrs. Yi finished speaking, Yu Yang interrupted her impatiently: "I know, I must pay attention to this selection, don't I pay attention to it, you didn't look at my eyes, na!" Look, look! Yu Yang put down the tableware and showed Mrs. Yi the red blood in her eyes and the black blue under her eyes, which made Mrs. Yi laugh, and no longer talked about the selection, but still whispered: "It's good to participate, it's good to participate." ”
After breakfast and goodbye to Mrs. Yi, Yuyang rode his bicycle towards the island's only shopping street, where he could buy all the fabrics he needed to make Yao costumes.
Waiting for Yu Yang to come in a hurry, Shu Yu seemed to have been waiting for a while, Yu Yang hurriedly parked the bicycle to the side, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, am I getting up late?" How long have you waited? ”
Shu Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "I didn't wait long, I just arrived, did I bring the pattern?" Let's check what is needed. ”
The two chatted about the choice of fabrics for clothes, walked towards the store, and when they talked about one of the rare fabrics, Yuyang said to her: "The rest of the fabrics are common, but there is a material that I have only seen in books, and I have never seen the real thing...... Brilliant silver yarn. ”
"You mean that?"
When Yu Yang was still thinking about what material to replace if he didn't find Huang Yin Yarn, Shu Yu stood in the most conspicuous place in the store and pointed to a sign that read "Huang Yin Yarn, new materials have arrived in the store".
Yu Yang looked at the words on the sign in disbelief, and was speechless for a while, when the shopkeeper came over and said to Yu Yang with a kind smile on his face: "Yu Yang, you came to buy cloth today?" Would you like to take a look at this newly sent brilliant silver yarn? ”
The island is very small, with a population of more than 1,000 people, and the residents of the island know each other more or less, and the owner of the cloth shop often meets Yuyang. Yu Yang looked at the big three words on the sign - "Huang Yin Yarn", complex emotions came to his heart, and he was stunned for a long time before saying to the shopkeeper: "Well, I want to trouble you to cut five feet of this material." ”
"Okay!"
While waiting for the shopkeeper to cut the fabric, Yuyang pulled Shu Yu aside and asked quietly, "How can it be so coincidental?" It was also the first time for me to make clothes for the aristocracy, and I thought that I would choose some expensive materials, and I didn't have any hope, but ...... How can there be such good material on the island? ”
Seeing that she was so nervous, Shu Yu smiled lightly and said, "You see that you are cranky again, you are always so lucky, I can't envy it." ”
"Luck...... Fortune? But ......" Yuyang didn't know how to describe such a feeling, and at this time she remembered all kinds of incredible things she had encountered since she was a child-in school, at work, no matter who she cared about herself; Whatever she wants, on this small island, it will immediately appear in front of her eyes like magic. When she was ten years old, a large car was about to hit her, and it actually stopped on the spot. Strange things happen one after another, but every time she mentions them with the people around her, their reactions are surprisingly consistent, just keep telling her - don't think nonsense.
Seeing that Yu Yang thought about it again, Shu Yu hurriedly pulled her shoulders, looked into her eyes and said to her: "Every time you encounter a good thing, you are always thinking nonsense on the side, if God knows that she gave you luck, but you don't appreciate it, and you still want to think about it, God will definitely be angry!" ”
"But ......" Yu Yang wanted to say something, at this time the shopkeeper had already cut the fabric for her, Yu Yang could only give up and continue to buy the remaining materials with Shu Yu.
Back in the dress courtyard, everyone was busy preparing this grand Yao costume under the command of Yu Yang according to the design on the pattern. A few days later, with the help of more than ten people in the hospital, Yuyang finally made his own work - a set of pale cyan dress-style Yao costumes.
The innermost close-fitting shirt is woven with half-split fine cotton thread, and the seams are specially stitched with soft snow silk, and the upper body is as if there is nothing; The inner skirt is made of light cloud yarn, which is soft and flexible, so that the skirt can show smooth lines at every step; The first layer of kaftan is made of plain cotton cloth, while the second layer of kaftan is made of silk and sewn under the hard texture of dark white satin, revealing some luxurious layers in a low-key way. The jacket is made of translucent light green yarn and stacked on light gray cashmere, which changes color during the action; Finally, it is the finishing touch - sewn a belt of brilliant silver gauze, using the straight material, a luxurious knot is made behind the back, and spread on the skirt, making this low-key color dress suddenly high-profile.
Finally finished the work, and Brother Jiang counted it three times before carefully helping her fold the clothes one by one and put them in the exquisite wooden box that had been prepared long ago.
"Whew! It's finally done! Brother Jiang gently patted the wooden box, announcing the completion, the dress courtyard was boiling for a while, Yuyang sincerely thanked Brother Jiang and other colleagues: "Thanks to everyone, the clothes can catch up, everyone has worked hard!" ”
Brother Jiang hurriedly said: "This is nothing, with you as a representative, our Nianping Island is going to soar!" Hey, hey, when the time comes, I'll be Mrs. Qingning's royal clothing officer, but don't forget a few of us! ”
It's not the first time that Brother Jiang has said such a thing, and she seems to be very sure of her in her words, but she knows that such a work must be impossible to win under the cover of so many famous artists in Quan Qingmo, Yu Yang had no choice but to laugh dryly, not knowing how to answer Brother Jiang's words.
After more than a month of continuous fatigue, and finally completed the preparation for the selection, Brother Jiang announced that he would give everyone a five-day holiday, Yuyang and the others packed up the dress courtyard together, and rode back home with Shu Yu.
Back home, finally able to unload the burden of work, Yuyang quietly lay in the bathtub and leisurely soaked, thinking of the next holiday like this, and so on and Mrs. Yi's warm milk waiting for her, she hummed happily.
After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, Yuyang came downstairs according to his habit, ready to ask Mrs. Yi for a glass of warm milk, and slept comfortably after drinking, but when he arrived in the kitchen, he found that Mrs. Yi was not here - this was the tacit understanding between the two, and today was the first time it was different.
"Strange?" Yu Yang thought, the whole house searched around and still did not find Mrs. Yi's figure, only the study in the corner of the first floor was not found.
Is it in the study? - Yu Yang thought.
Yuyang's father is one of the few doctors on the island, and in order to respond to emergencies, the family has installed a new object called a "telephone" in the study, but Yuyang has never heard this tin thing ring a few times throughout the year, and is strictly restricted by his parents, and has never even touched that thing once.
Yu Yang walked to the study, and sure enough, Mrs. Yi was here.
"Mom, is anyone calling?"
Hearing Yuyang's voice, Mrs. Yi hurriedly hung up the phone and pretended to be calm and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yu Yang walked to the door, leaned against the door frame and asked, "Did you call?" Who, isn't Dad still in the hospital? ”
Mrs. Yi hurriedly walked out of the study, and by the way, she closed the door of the study and said, "It's nothing, your father is a distant relative, what's the matter, what are you looking for me?" ”
Speaking of this, Yu Yang hugged Mrs. Yi's arm, rubbed her face and said coquettishly: "Just finished taking a bath, get me a cup of warm milk!" ”
Mrs. Yi shook her head and smiled: "How old are you, you must drink milk before going to bed, what's the matter, do you still want to grow taller?" ”
"I'll be twenty years old soon!" Speaking of age, Yu Yang said proudly, "I will soon be a legal adult in Wanting Kingdom!" ”
Mrs. Yi still smiled, warmed the milk for her, prepared a cup herself, took advantage of the gentle sea breeze on the spring night, the two went up to the open-air balcony on the second floor together, one person had a glass, sat on the bench facing the sea, looked at the sea, and tasted the milk that warmed the palm.
It was the New Moon, and without the light of the moon, the sea was a pure black, with a few clouds in the sky, and only a few points of starlight. Looking at such a scene, Yu Yang emptied himself and unintentionally muttered: "The sea at night is really different from the sea during the day......"
Seeing that Yu Yang came to such a sentence without thinking, Mrs. Yi snorted and laughed: "Why did you suddenly sigh about the sea?" It's not the first day you saw the sea at night, where did you get your feelings? ”
Yu Yang still looked into the distance, and then continued for a long time: "I just think...... In the daytime, you can watch the waves of white flowers, the deep blue water, the sun shines, sometimes shiny, sometimes red, vibrant. But at night, we can only listen to the sound of the waves, but it is pitch black in front of us, and occasionally there is moonlight, and we can see it unreal, as if the shore where I am is is a world, and the darkness in front of us is another world, with no end and no exit. And here I am, in this world of my own, I'm at the end of my world, a little scared, but a little wonderful......"
Yu Yang didn't know what she was talking about, she was just talking nonsense, but Mrs. Yi was looking into the distance seriously at this time, and replied to her in a solemn tone: "The darkness and the unknown in front of you are everything you have to face, because you have to protect everything behind you, everything ......"
"Mom?"
