Chapter 169 Embroidery
The two of them reached a fork in the road, said hello, and then went home.
As she walked home alone, Yu Xiaoxiao did not pick up her speed. She was still walking at a slow pace. Although her hands and feet were very steady, she was still very slow.
It's just that she didn't notice it before, but now she can't be careless. Let's not talk about the distance, let's just say that there is a book wearer beside her. She is used to the current life and is very satisfied with it. She doesn't want to think about it for the time being.
There are any changes.
It took a lot of time to wander back home, and Yu Xiaoxiao was somewhat uncomfortable with it.
After eating, Yu Xiaoxiao went out again. She felt that she had to integrate into the group to better learn to hide herself.
After sitting at the entrance of the village for a while, many of the older people couldn't hold it anymore and started to doze off. The younger ones were still energetic, but there were no people talking to her, so she could only watch this silently.
, listen to the gossip and family gossip.
It was like this for three days in a row. Gradually, the gossips and family gossips she heard began to repeat themselves. Yu Xiaoxiao persisted in listening for a long time, but then she felt it was boring.
I didn’t want to stay any longer and walked home slowly.
After entering the door, I saw the two sisters sitting in the yard, talking and laughing while doing needlework.
Yu Xiaoxiao walked over, and both of them looked up at her and said hello: "Mom."
Her sewing baskets are very delicate and beautiful. Not only are they handicrafts made of tightly woven thin bamboo strips, but the textures are also very particular. They are classic models that you will never tire of, and they also come with a special lid.
Xu Wanrou knew her mother-in-law's temperament. She tried to persuade her twice, but her mother-in-law still didn't need her help, so she could only leave with worry, otherwise she was afraid that she would be unhappy if she tried to persuade her again.
"Um."
Yu Xiaoxiao put down her small clothes and went back to the house to get her own sewing basket. Yes, she also had her own sewing basket.
With something to do, Yu Xiaoxiao is not so bored.
Yang Lian lowered her head to work and advised: "You are too thoughtful and think too much. You don't understand her yet. She is not a pushy person. If she really needed our help, she would have informed us already.
, Mom, if she says you don’t need it, you really don’t need it, so don’t worry so much every day.”
Yu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and then returned to normal. After hearing this, she turned her neck, and a crisp sound of bones came from her neck. Yu Xiaoxiao's face was stiff, she felt a little sore and numb, and her wrists were also a little uncomfortable.
As for the sisters-in-law's sewing basket, they are not as particular as hers. It is a small round dustpan that is a must-have for ordinary people. It can be used.
Yang Lian didn't stop her and happily agreed: "Hey, mother, wait for me to get it for you."
"Mom, let's embroider again tomorrow. It's already evening. Don't burn your eyes out. You've been embroidering all afternoon. Do you feel any discomfort in your wrists and neck? Can I help you?"
Next, the three of them sat next to each other, chatting and making little clothes.
"No, you go about your business, I'll do it myself."
"Well, are you making clothes for the baby in Qingshu's belly?"
Waving her hands, she rejected Xu Wanrou's proposal, put down the cloth, stood up, and slowly moved all the joints of her body.
Yang Lian nodded with a bright smile: "Yes, this is not idle but also idle. The little baby grows up quickly and the small clothes are not durable, so I just want to do more when I have time."
In the end, it was Xu Wanrou who pushed her shoulder to get her to take her mind off the embroidery.
However, she didn't say anything. In the final analysis, the sister-in-law was just trying to comfort herself, hiding her worried look and saying, "What are you cooking today? There's nothing left to do. I'll help you sort it out."
As he spoke, he handed the needle basket to Xu Wanrou next to him, and went to get the fabric in a hurry.
When she came to the kitchen, Yang Lian saw Xu Wanrou looking out from time to time, and she also glanced out a few times and asked, "Mother doesn't want you to help?"
Yu Xiaoxiao took the half-sewed small dress in Yang Lian's hand and looked at it carefully. The pattern was quite simple and she could make it herself, so she asked: "Is there any more cotton? I'll also clear the ones in my stomach."
The child made a few small clothes, but I can still make this one."
"You don't have to worry about me anymore. Go help with the cooking. I won't embroider anymore."
Yu Xiaoxiao refused simply. She was not an outsider in the family, and she did not need to be secretive at home, making herself and her family unhappy.
At first, she could keep up with making simple small clothes, but later she started to make slightly larger clothes with some embroidery, and she was a little reluctant. Later, when she made tiger-head shoes, Yu Xiaoxiao's claws were completely numb.
Xu Wanrou also explained with a gentle face: "I saw my sister-in-law doing it and wanted to practice it first. This is also my little aunt's affection for my niece. Moreover, my child will also need it in a few years. I want to learn a little bit and gain experience first."
.”
Xu Wanrou curled her lips and disagreed with her sister-in-law's words. Being too careless is not a good thing. Her sister-in-law herself was so careless that she asked her to clean up the mess. It was not that she was complaining, but she was telling the truth.
But looking at the exquisite and beautiful tiger-head shoes in the hands of her two daughters-in-law, they have already taken shape, and she has the fighting spirit again. Isn't it just a small embroidery skill?
Life became regular again. I got up in the morning, had a meal, went out to listen to the latest gossip, and went home for dinner at noon. At noon, I made small clothes and shoes with my daughter-in-law and the others under the eaves under the sun.
Although she has not improved much in needlework over the past few decades and her skills are not very good, she cannot lack professional tools, even those that look good on display.
It was just a matter of temperament. She felt that her temperament and that of her sister-in-law should be balanced to be perfect.
After mentally building herself up, Yu Xiaoxiao instantly felt that she could do it again. She calmed down and embroidered seriously, stitch by stitch. She forgot about time and was so focused.
Her embroidery skills were not perfect. She could embroider simple patterns with more effort, but she felt that she couldn't do it well when she looked at this complex one.
At that time, she looked up and was a little confused. Because she was so obsessed, she had long lost her attention to time, and her eyes were dull for a while.
After all, it was a relationship between sisters-in-law. She did a lot to help her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law didn't do a lot to help her. She kept it in mind, and there was nothing to worry about.
Xu Wanrou was still a little worried. Yu Xiaoxiao said, "Mom, how about I help you walk around and stretch your body?"
Can she still learn it? She is not really an old person, and her thinking is as active as a young person. She doesn't believe that she can't learn it. Moreover, she has plenty of time. If she can't do it in one day, she can do it in two days. If she can't do it in two days, she still has dozens more.
year.
Yang Lian didn't even raise her head and said, "Just watch and make it. It will be ready with three vegetables. It will be stir-fried in a while. I will prepare two cold dishes and that will be enough."
Xu Wanrou nodded and went to see what was being cooked tonight, but her worried eyes would occasionally be cast on the figure walking back and forth in the yard, flexing her neck and wrists.
Yu Xiaoxiao's five senses were very sensitive, so she could naturally feel it, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. She was minding her own activities for a while, then she went to pack up her sewing basket and go back to the house to put it away.
Time flies and the day of the provincial examination is approaching. Zhiye hardly sees anyone except during meal times. The other children are even more strictly controlled by the two men in the family.
