Action speaks louder than words. Tian An immediately ran to Daniu's study and asked Daniu to help her draw a portrait of the rogue rabbit in her memory according to her description.
Because Daniu had never seen those kind of chibi-version animal figurines, his rabbit drawing was relatively realistic. After he finished, Tian An took the pen and made a few corrections. He then re-painted the revised design. After repeating this several times, a cute, mischievous rabbit was finally created.
Looking at the rabbit on the paper, which was called the "Rogue Rabbit," Danniu realized for the first time that animals could be drawn like this. It looked really cute and adorable. How could An An have so many ideas in her head?
Tian An happily took the drawing to the main room to show the young wives. Unfortunately, they had never seen it made, let alone made, and had no idea where to start. They were also afraid of wasting the fabric, so they were even more hesitant.
However, the young wife whose brother-in-law made a mistake looked at Tian An's expression from joy to disappointment, then looked at the picture for a long time, and then said that she wanted to try it.
When Tian An heard someone say they wanted to give it a try, hope rekindled in his disappointed heart. He stared at the young wife with sparkling eyes, making her hair stand on end.
Chun Xi, who was standing by, couldn't help but pull Tian An's sleeve, and Tian An finally realized that he had been too emotional and scared the other person.
He immediately adjusted his expression and put on a proper smile: "Sister, how should I address you?"
The young wife was so scared that she stood up immediately: "Miss, I don't deserve it. I am Ji, the wife of Luo Yourong."
"Oh! It's Sister Ji! Try making one first. Don't be afraid of wasting it. Try to make it as similar as possible."
Luo Yourong's wife was very happy to receive the girl's instructions. If she performed well, maybe she could earn something for the family today!
Without delaying a moment, he immediately began cutting the cloth according to the drawing, then mending and revising it. An hour later, he finally finished it.
Tian An looked at the rogue rabbit in his hand and praised it generously: "Sister Ji's craftsmanship is really good. The stitches are neat and dense, and it is vivid and lifelike."
I looked at it for a while, but no matter how I looked at it, I felt something was wrong! But I couldn't tell what the problem was.
Luo Yourong's wife saw Tian An frowning and thinking hard, thinking that he might have done something that did not please the girl, so she said, "Girl, what's wrong? Is there something you did wrong?"
Tian An looked at the doll, touching his chin with one hand and said, "The craftsmanship is fine, and the shape is also realistic, but it just feels like something is missing."
Xiaokang and Mangzhong, who had just returned from their homestead, also looked at the rogue rabbit curiously. They had never seen a rabbit like this before! It looked so cute!
However, after hearing what Tianan said, they picked up the picture beside them to compare. But the real thing and the picture are still very similar! Why did the girl say it felt different?
Mangzhong looked at the picture carefully again, and then looked at the rabbit from beginning to end. When she saw the rabbit's eyes, she seemed to know why. She immediately shouted, "Girl, I know what the reason is. It's the eyes, the rabbit's eyes."
Hearing this, Ji looked at the rabbit's eyes again, then at the picture. But the one in the picture was clearly the same as what he had done!
Tian An took it and looked at it. It really was an eye. It wasn't that Ji had done something wrong, but that the picture was not drawn correctly.
The rabbit is from a Q-version anime, but the eyes are actually realistic rabbit eyes. I was so focused on other things that I actually forgot about the eyes. So no matter how I look at it, it feels awkward.
Tian An took the drawing to the study and re-drew a pair of cute eyes for the Q-version doll.
I asked Ji to embroider it again, and sure enough, the whole doll looked completely different after the modification. It was so soft and cute that I couldn't put it down.
With the first one as a template, Ji quickly made three more. Unfortunately, there was not enough fabric, otherwise he could have made a few more!
Tian An felt that looking at the soft and cute rogue bunny was like seeing a pile of white silver flying towards her. The smile on her face never stopped.
I immediately decided with Danniu that we would go to town the next day to sell hair ornaments and dolls, and then buy some more scraps of cloth to make dolls and hair ornaments.
…
The next morning, Tian An and Da Niu took Xiao Kang and Chen Feng to the town in an ox cart. Before leaving, they asked someone to call the little girl Qiu Tian.
Tian An thought Qiu Tian had a sweet mouth and was very capable. If he could sell hair flowers together, he could let her help him hawk and greet customers, which would make it easier for him. After all, he had a lot of hair flowers today!
When the ox cart just arrived at the village entrance, Tian An met Doctor Zhao from Xiaba Village. Seeing that he was waiting for the ox cart, he asked him to get on and go together.
"Grandpa Zhao, thank you for saving my brother last time. I had planned to come visit you, but I never found the time. I didn't expect to meet you today."
Doctor Zhao laughed heartily and said, "Hey! Why bother remembering all that? Just take good care of your brother."
He glanced at Xiaokang standing beside him and said, "You know what! This kid has only been with you for a few days! He's gained weight on his face. The last time I saw him, he was as skinny as a monkey."
Xiaokang said shyly, "Hello, Grandpa Zhao, thank you for saving me last time. Sister treats me very well. I eat well and gain weight."
Doctor Zhao laughed twice and said, "You are a lucky boy. When you grow up, you must treat your sister well!"
Xiaokang said, "I will study hard and make my sister live a good life in the future."
Doctor Zhao: "Haha, not bad, not bad, you have great ambition."
Tian An took out two hair flowers from his bag and handed them to Doctor Zhao: "Grandpa Zhao, we didn't bring anything with us this time except these hair flowers. Please don't mind."
Doctor Zhao said with some embarrassment: "But I, an old man, can't use this!"
Tian An smiled and said, "You definitely won't need it! But you still have a wife and daughter at home! They're sure to like it."
Doctor Zhao patted his head and said, "Look at me, I'm really getting old and confused. Then I won't be polite! The old lady always says that I don't buy things for her like I did when I was young. This time I can borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, haha."
He looked at the large bundle that Daniu was holding and asked, "Is that whole bundle of yours filled with these flowers? Are you going to take them to the county town to sell? How much can one flower fetch?"
Qiu Tian, who was standing by, saw that everyone had been talking for a while and she hadn't said a word. She felt like she was being tickled. Now that she finally had a chance to speak, she immediately said:
"Grandpa Zhao, these were all made by our daughter and everyone else. We made so many! They are so beautiful.
I was planning to take them to the county town to sell them, eight cents for one flower and ten cents for a pair.
The girl has raised so many of us, and it's very hard and expensive. My mother said we should help the girl as much as possible, because only when she is well can we be well.
