After coming out of the station, Jian Yuelan did not rush back, but ran to the post office to call her eldest brother to inform him of her parents' train information and the approximate arrival time.

Jian Zhengnan nodded and asked her, "How is your brother-in-law?"

"As strong as an ox."

"Let him answer the phone. I'll have a few words with him."

This requirement is quite difficult. "Brother, he went out to sea."

Jian Zhengnan got anxious when he heard this. "Are you alone in Ancheng? Are you disguised? If not, go back quickly and don't wander around outside."

The world is really not peaceful, and his sister's face is too attractive.

Back home, because she was so famous, they felt comfortable letting her wander around outside.

Ancheng is not a good place, it’s too far away, and if something really happens they won’t be able to do anything.

"No more talking, just go back quickly, don't worry about your parents, I'll calculate the time to pick them up."

Without waiting for Jian Yuelan to reply, he hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeping sound coming from the microphone, Jian Yuelan was silent for two seconds and then put down the phone.

"Comrade, how much is it?"

The staff member checked the time and said, "Two dollars and two cents."

The price is not cheap, but Jian Yuelan has gotten used to it. The main reason is that making phone calls nowadays is very troublesome, especially long-distance calls across provinces, which require several line transfers.

Every time you change lines, you have to pay, so she didn't say anything, but took out two dollars and fifty cents and handed it over.

The staff took the money and gave her three cents in change. Jian Yuelan took the three cents and left the post office. She was planning to go directly to the station to take a bus back to the island, but she didn't expect someone to call her halfway.

"Comrade Jian, Comrade Jian, wait a minute."

She turned around and found that the person calling her was Lin Qingyuan.

"Manager Lin."

Looking at Lin Qingyuan who was running towards her, she smiled and said, "Are you calling me for something?"

"Oh, something's up."

Lin Qingyuan, who had been planning to exchange a few pleasantries before getting to the point, got straight to the point when she said, "I wonder if Comrade Jian is busy? If not, why not come to my office and chat?"

"OK."

It was obvious that he needed help, so Jian Yuelan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Five minutes later, she sat in Lin Qingyuan's office.

"Comrade Jian, have some water."

"Thanks."

She took the water and took a sip, not in a hurry to speak, but it was obvious that Lin Qingyuan was anxious. After a few simple greetings, she said, "Comrade Jian, I wonder if you will accept the designated embroidery work."

"Are there any pictures?"

"have."

He opened the drawer and took out a pieced-together photo and handed it to him.

Jian Yuelan took it and looked at it, and found that the protagonists of the photo were a man and a woman.

The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is as beautiful as a lotus blooming in clear water.

Even if the photo is broken, even if it is in black and white, you can still see that the protagonist has an outstanding temperament.

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match."

She praised him, but Lin Qingyuan's eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell.

Jian Yuelan, "?"

Praising someone to the point of making them cry is just outrageous.

She felt a little uneasy. "Manager Lin, what's wrong with you?"

"This is my leader's grandson and his wife. They both died in the southwest."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jian Yuelan's expression suddenly became serious.

Sacrificed in the southwest, Lao Ye’s colleague.

Seeing her expression change, Lin Qingyuan didn't think of hiding anything. He briefly explained the protagonist's background, then choked up and said, "This is the only photo left, but it was torn in an accident. Even if I put it together, it would be difficult to preserve it for a long time."

Jian Yuelan nodded in agreement. Nowadays, photos are not plastic-wrapped like in later generations.

Furthermore, this photo is pieced together, so it is really difficult to preserve it for a long time in this situation.

Seeing her nod, Lin Qingyuan felt relieved.

He pleaded, "Comrade Jian, can you embroider an embroidery based on this photo that can be preserved for a long time?"

Worried that she would refuse, he added, "Money is not a problem. I can add 10 percent to the last price."

"Can."

Jian Yuelan nodded, "They are heroes, so there's no need to increase the money."

"But I need Manager Lin to provide embroidery cloth and thread."

The embroidery cloth and thread at home have other uses and are not suitable for embroidering a funeral portrait.

"I provide it."

Lin Qingyuan wiped his tears, stood up and bowed deeply to Jian Yuelan, "Comrade Jian, on behalf of my old leader, I thank you."

"Manager Lin, you're welcome."

Jian Yuelan helped the man up and said hesitantly, "Manager Lin, I'd like to ask you or your leader if you have any additional requirements for this embroidery?"

Lin Qingyuan didn't quite understand what she meant and asked blankly, "Comrade Jian, what do you mean?"

"color."

As soon as these words came out, he understood.

This is to ask him if he wants to embroider a portrait of the deceased.

He has no say in this matter.

"How about this, I take you to meet my leader?"

Jian Yuelan, who never expected to meet someone again, was stunned for a moment and said yes.

Then, the two left the Friendship Store to meet someone.

Before leaving, Jian Yuelan reminded him to bring a set of painting tools.

Lin Qingyuan asked in surprise, "What are you bringing this for?"

"I'll draw a picture for you two to see on the spot."

"You can also paint?"

Jian Yuelan hummed and explained, "Traditional embroidery and painting are basic skills."

A good painter may not necessarily be able to embroider, but it is certain that all embroidery masters are good painters.

This line of work requires talent, both in painting and embroidery.

No matter how hard a person who lacks talent works, his achievements will be limited because he lacks spiritual energy and is more mechanical.

Unfortunately, Jian Yuelan is a genuine master.
