Three days later, Grandma Xiang was buried. The weather on the day of the burial was excellent, with no scorching sun and no heavy rain. Ye Lancheng and An Zhisu walked at the end of the funeral procession, following the procession in front of them wearing sackcloth and mourning.
One last journey to grandma.
Xiang Qiaoxi held her three- or four-day-old son in her arms. Her husband gave his son a meaningful name, Xiang Xinsheng. The little newborn was very well-behaved, neither crying nor fussing. He would sleep after he was full.
Everyone praised him as a sensible child.
The day after grandma Xiang was buried, An Zhisu and Ye Lancheng said goodbye to their cousin and cousin-in-law from the Mu family. Mu Ge was on vacation and would not return to S City for the time being. The couple did not wait for her and left first.
An Zhisu gained a lot from this trip. Her design drawings had been completed. As soon as she came back, she went to Professor Guan's house non-stop. She showed the design drawings to Professor Guan and explained her design inspiration and design significance.
I also shared my experience during this period with Professor Guan. For her, this experience was precious and rare.
Professor Guan was very satisfied with her design. She was going to France to participate in the competition in half a month. There was not much time left for An Zhisu, but An Zhisu was not worried. She was confident that she could make the finished product before the competition.
The fabrics were all brought back from Muge's hometown. They were all linen. She wanted to use the locally abundant linen to complete her works. She also had an immature idea. She wanted to find a new solution for the villagers in Muge's hometown.
way out.
But her business acumen was not flexible enough. Fortunately, she had a husband who could do anything. In the evening, she talked to Ye Lancheng about her immature ideas, hoping that he could give her some ideas.
"Do you want to promote Azabu for Qingxi Village?" Ye Lancheng asked after listening.
An Zhisu nodded: "Grandma Xiang told me that the linen in Qingxi Village used to be famous far and wide. The men and women in the village did not need to go out to work. They could support a family just by growing ramie and producing twine and linen.
However, with the decline of traditional crafts, the ancestral ramie industry in Qingxi Village has also gone into decline. Now, the output of ramie is getting less and less, and many villagers have stopped growing hemp. Only the left-behind women, children, and young men are left in the village.
We only go home during the Chinese New Year."
The situation she mentioned is not only in Qingxi Village, but also in the entire country. Urbanization is becoming more and more serious, and the rural population is gradually decreasing. The average age of the rural population left behind is more than 40, and the polarization is serious, either
The old people in their twilight years, or the children who are learning to talk, the young people have either bought a house in the city, or they work outside all year round, and only come home during busy farming and festivals.
"Your idea is good, but it is not easy to implement." Ye Lancheng pondered for a moment and then said: "The decline of traditional crafts is a drawback of the development of the times. Not only the craft of making linen is gradually dying out, but also the embroidery craft that you are good at.
It is gradually being replaced by machines. Technology replacing manual productivity is a major trend in the future world."
Although An Zhisu doesn't want to agree with this statement, he also knows that the development trend of the world is like this. He is a little frustrated and a little heartbroken. China has a history of more than 5,000 years and a cultural heritage that astonishes the whole world.
In ancient times when productivity was backward, the ancients were able to build the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Great Wall. This showed that the wisdom of ancient Chinese people was far ahead of foreigners at the same time. She felt that it was the high technology of foreigners that corroded the wisdom of the Chinese people.
, Culture and inheritance are immortal, which is the foundation for a country to stand in the world.
"I will definitely let China's ancient culture live in foreign museums, and I will let the whole world see our oldest and most simple national culture and craftsmanship." An Zhisu's eyes showed determination and confidence.
Ye Lancheng kissed her lips and gave her silent support.
An Zhisu remembered that Ye Lancheng deliberately licked the palm of her hand when they were in Qingxi Village, and imitating her, she stuck out her tongue and licked his lips too.
Ye Lancheng's lips trembled slightly, and he narrowed his eyes, showing a familiar look in his eyes.
An Zhisu smiled delicately and hid in bed, deliberately playing hard to get.
Ye Lancheng chuckled, his little wife could play fun now.
…
The next day, An Zhisu failed to get out of bed early and slept until noon. She was awakened by Bai Xinci's phone call, asking her to come over for dinner.
An Zhisu took a shower, changed clothes, and took a souvenir for her mother-in-law and grandmother. She devoured a full meal and chatted with her mother-in-law and grandmother after the meal.
One day, I returned home not long after.
When she returned to Lantingju, she rushed into the flower room and started working on the works for the competition. She even declined Song Jiaren's invitation to go out for dinner at night. She planned to imitate other people's cultivation of immortality and go into seclusion. When was the work completed?
After leaving the quarantine, I even made a vow in the circle of friends, and was complained about by Song Jiaren.
Song Jiaren really wanted to invite her good friends out for dinner. Xia Jingze had gone out to film in the past few days. She was extremely bored by herself, and there were no cases, so she felt like she was going to go bad. Xia Jingze tempted her to visit the class every day, and she really didn't want to be watched by reporters.
Every time I found an excuse to push it away.
However, An Zhisu was so determined that he didn't want to go out and get drunk with her, so she had to ask Xia Ning. Fortunately, Xia Ning was free, and the two made an appointment to go to the bar for a drink in the evening.
The bar was chosen by Song Jia. It is a quiet bar hidden in various rock bars. It has a good style and is quiet. It is very suitable for groups of friends to relax. Song Jia and her friends have been here several times and like it very much.
a feeling of.
Xia Ning has been quite busy recently. Since she completed a beautiful prosecution independently last time, she has been assigned several cases. She works hard and does everything by herself, and is as busy as a spinning top.
"Life is not only about the work in front of you, but also about fine wine and handsome men." Song Jiaren has a bohemian side. She is better at regulating her mood than Xia Ning. She goes out to hang out when she is stressed, and then continues to work after she is done. She does not need help from others to relieve stress.
.
Xia Ning twitched her lips: "Let me remind you, I am Jingze's biological sister. If you try to flirt with other handsome guys in front of his biological sister, aren't you afraid that I will sue you?"
"I'm not flirting." Song Jiaren had a strong desire to survive and smiled: "What I mean is that you don't have to be busy with work all the time. You can go out with Su Ye for travel, picnics and so on."
"He is busier than me." Xia Ning shook his head. Su Ye had to manage such a large company and had plans for weekends. He had no time to travel and have picnics.
"I believe that as long as you say you want to travel, Su Ye will have more time than anyone else." Song Jiaren has so much confidence in Su Ye that even if Xia Ning wants the stars in the sky, Su Ye can invest in an aerospace company.
Xia Ning didn't answer, just drank in silence.
Song Jiaren heard Xia Jingze talk about Zuo Ang, and knew that Xia Ning and her ex were working together now. She wanted to show concern, but she felt that it was inappropriate to mention Zuo Ang, so after thinking about it, she still didn't mention it.
