"Hmm, that sounds a little credible. You haven't been hired for the job I found for you yet? You've been back for almost a month!"
"Not yet. I've been there three times!”
"How about this, I'll go and ask again. You can also go and inquire about our relationship!”
"Then I'll have to trouble Father. I originally thought so too!”
"Then wait for me. I'll go change my clothes and we'll leave together.”
After saying that, the old man got up and went to the east room to change. The old lady followed him in and helped to carry the clothes. She seemed to have also taken some money.
"The child's father, you should ask around. Otherwise, I won't be confident! Do you have any money on you? If you need it, spend it, don't save it.”
"I still have 2 taels of silver here. I don't need much to inquire about things, and I'm not using my connections to do things.”
"It's good to have more money. I still have one tael here. If it's not enough, go home and get it. I still have some scattered silver in my makeup box.”
"Yes, I know. Don't worry too much. Your health is not good to begin with. You haven't rested well these past few days since the child was sick. What if you get sick again?"
"Let's go!" The old man came out and called my father out.
The old lady also walked out and looked at my mother with a frown. She said,"Don't worry. Your father has gone to think of a way for you."
As she spoke, she carried me and pulled my mother to the east room. She placed me on the bed and took out a piece of cloth from the cabinet. She placed it on the bed and said," What do you think of this cloth? Your father bought it for you."
"Why did Mother buy me something again? This color is not bad. This sky blue looks good on anyone in our family!”My mother said happily.
My grandma looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
"Mother, did you make this new dress? I've never seen you wear it before!" I raised my head to look at the old lady. Her clothes were quite new. It was a maroon red shirt and a skirt of the same color that was darker than the shirt. The skirt and cuffs were embroidered with dark purple auspicious clouds and longevity patterns. It was very appropriate.
"Where? Your Third Sister-in-law made it for me."
"Yeah, I think it's her too. This dress fits you well, but the embroidery isn't good. My sister-in-law's tailor is really good. She can cut it for you without even measuring it.”
"This is all she has."
"Why did she think of making clothes for you? There was a war going on outside!”
"What else could it be? Her relatives from her maiden family, her parents, her father, her grandfather, her elder brother, her elder sister, and her younger brother's family are all here. There are almost 30 of them in the family!”
"Her parents, grandfather, elder brother, and younger brother's families are here. Why is her elder sister's family here too? How can her big sister be so shameless?"
"Hmph, not only did her elder sister's husband and child come, but she also brought her in-laws and two nephews from her in-laws 'families!”
"How can she be so shameless? My father didn't say anything."
"Your father said that since it's a special period, you should stay here first! But we don't care about eating. We rarely eat together anyway. They rarely come to the main courtyard unless it's a holiday. We eat from their girls. We don't have the money to feed so many people.”
"That big family is enough for the two of them to suffer!”As the mother and son chatted, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as before.
After chatting for a while, my mother went to the west room and brought back the basket that she had brought back from home. There was a sewing basket, a few scarves, and a few pieces of cloth inside. A few of the scarves had been embroidered. The different colored scarves were embroidered with a pattern of butterflies in love with flowers.
The colors of the handkerchief were bean green, water pink, moon white, water blue, and duck yellow. It was beautiful and novel with the embroidery of butterfly flowers. The handkerchief was made of silk and felt very smooth.
"You embroidered it recently? This pattern is not bad, it looks lively, and the color matching is also good!”The old lady said proudly.
"Yes, I'll embroider some if I have nothing to do. I saw this picture in the big embroidery room. The butterfly painting is even better. Recently, Little Jia has been sick for a few days, so I didn't have the mood to embroider big ones.”
"What do you mean by Little Jia is sick? Why didn't you say anything? Are you alright now?" The old lady anxiously touched my forehead to see if it was hot.
"She's much better. Can we bring her here? She was still a little hot this morning, so I gave her some medicine. It looks like she's almost ready now. We took the medicine from her uncle. Don't worry!”
"That's good! I don't know what you're thinking about every day. Why didn't you tell us when the child was sick?”
She hugged me and kissed me for a long time. The old lady really felt sorry for me.
The mother and son began to pick up the silk thread as they talked. They placed the few colors that they needed on the bed one by one. The rest were placed back into the basket. They used a small support to fix the material and began to embroider one by one.
My grandma only smoothed the thread and put the used ones aside. My mother embroidered. I picked up an embroidered handkerchief and looked at it carefully. The embroidery was really good. It was loose and dense, and the color ratio was also good. However, it was still lacking compared to the Su embroidery I had seen before. It was not the embroidery, but the transition of the thread. These embroidery did not have the transition of light and dark colors, and did not look three-dimensional. They all felt very flat. Although the needle technique was good, it was not as three-dimensional and agile as in my previous life. If I could use three-dimensional color transition composition, it would be a masterpiece. Another thing was that the embroidery thread did not feel thin enough. I remember watching a program that visited Su embroidery before. People usually cut the embroidery thread before using it. The embroidery is more delicate and smooth. No matter how close or far you look at it, it looks like a photo.
"Mother! I heard that Big Sister is back?" A woman's voice sounded. Following the voice, a long-faced woman came in. This woman's face was dark yellow, and her long phoenix eyes were a little swollen but not serious. She had a slender and well-proportioned figure, and her hair was neatly combed into a slanted ponytail bun. There was a ginger velvet flower on the bun. The color of the velvet flower was dim, so it should be old. There were also two silver hairpins on the side. She was wearing a red dress and a matching shirt of the same color. The lapel and cuffs were embroidered with camel colored wave patterns. He gave off a sense of agility and steadiness, but his eyes were a little calculative and calculative. This person was not easy to get along with.
"What brings you here?" the old lady said.
"It's fine. I heard that Big Sister was back and came over to take a look!”the woman replied.
"You came just in time. You can cook today! Make a few more dishes. Your elder sister will eat here. Xiao Jia has been sick for the past few days, so you can make some of the children's favorite dishes! He would cook some porridge for the child's weak spleen and stomach to improve her digestion.”The old lady made the arrangements.
The woman's face stiffened. She forced a smile and said that she understood. Then, she turned around and left.
"Mother, looking at her expression, it seems like she ate her!”
"What's the use of her expression? Humph! She's been living a good life in our house. Aunt Ge will help with the housework. She and your third sister-in-law will cook for us. She doesn't have to wash our clothes and clean the house. What else do you want? It's not that I'm saying that their cooking is not as good as your Auntie Wu's. If it weren't for the fact that I have two wives at home and don't do anything, I wouldn't have been able to bear to part with your Auntie Wu!”
