Chapter 154 I have seen it with my own eyes
"It looks like we'll be alone together soon, dear child. Don't be too naughty. You know, grandma's body is not made of iron."
Little Stone seemed to understand a few simple words and responded by trying to speak.
Whenever she talked to him, Zhao Chunhua would deliberately use a more intimate name.
Deep down in her heart, the old lady always hoped that one day she would be able to hear the long-awaited and precious "Mom" directly from her grandson's mouth.
For her, this is a heavy and sweet expectation.
The little fellow continued to babble, and it was unknown how much he understood.
Zhao Chunhua couldn't help laughing and shaking her head, muttering to herself, "I'm so foolish. It's useless to say anything to a child like you who has just learned to speak. But no matter what, if you dare not listen to me in the future, I will really put you in the fields and let you grow food by yourself to solve the problem of food and clothing."
Picking up the child, Zhao Chunhua slowly walked into the house. For a moment, complex emotions surged in her heart and she couldn't help sighing.
But soon, her mood changed and she felt that this might not be a bad thing.
At present, although her life is not rich, it is still stable.
Even if she was alone, it was not a big problem to maintain the various needs of daily life.
If there is no one to disturb you at home, you can choose three meals a day according to your own preferences without worrying about other people's tastes and habits.
The place where we live, including the courtyard, is actually very spacious.
This means that when you cook food at home, you don’t have to worry about the aroma attracting the attention and curiosity of your neighbors.
The nearest resident is more than ten meters away even if measured in a straight line, and my current cooking skills are far from being able to make delicious dishes that will be smelled ten miles away.
If you think in this way, it won’t be long before you can fully enjoy the pleasure of freely choosing food.
This thought made Zhao Chunhua feel unprecedentedly excited.
Although the world she lives in now is full of restrictions and constraints, for her now, the most desirable thing in life is to taste all kinds of delicious food.
Looking ahead, while living in the village, we must also be careful to maintain a certain sense of mystery.
Whether it is meat or vegetables and fruits, you should try to buy them in nearby towns, and then store them quietly in your own storage room.
This makes it easy to store and keep fresh without attracting the attention of others.
At this moment, my mood is much more relaxed and cheerful because of my beautiful vision for the future.
Zhao Chunhua was not sleepy at all, so she simply turned over and sat up, lit a candle and began to immerse herself in the handicraft she was working on - carefully making exquisite and beautiful flower-wrapped ornaments.
Recently, she has been focusing almost all of her free time on this aspect.
Unlike traditional jewelry made of expensive and heavy materials such as jade, gold and silver, handicrafts made of silk and paper are not only lively and natural in shape and bright and rich in colors, but more importantly, they are more affordable and lightweight.
In contrast, flower wrappings made of paper and silk thread are not only easier to shape, but also more lively and energetic.
Each petal seems to be telling its own story. They are either gorgeous and charming, or subtle and elegant, giving people endless imagination.
Zhao Chunhua remembered that Zhao Wenxing had mentioned that he would come again to settle the bill before the end of the year, and then she could hand over the newly drawn design to him.
She thought about this promise with great anticipation, her heart filled with hope and longing.
Zhao Chunhua has made great efforts to make a living by painting.
She practiced hard at the table for countless days and nights, striving for perfection from the most basic lines to the color matching.
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would sit alone under the lamp, sketching her dreams stroke by stroke.
This is not only a pursuit of skills, but also a vision for future life.
In the original owner's memory, she had indeed come into contact with the entangled flower.
At that time, Shu Changqi went to the provincial capital to take an exam, and she accompanied him. She saw this kind of handicraft in a jewelry store in the city.
Those entwined flowers are so exquisite that they are a feast for the eyes.
Not only were there twined flowers on display, but there were also flowers made from down.
Those fuzzy flowers are soft to the touch and brightly colored, but in comparison, the twined flowers seem more artistic and lively.
However, these floral decorations are simple in design and crude in workmanship.
Despite this, Zhao Chunhua still felt shocked and curious about these craft works that she saw for the first time.
She began to carefully observe the structure of the flowers, wondering how to apply this technique to her own paintings.
Given the previous examples to follow, Zhao Chunhua was more confident when she tried it.
She believed that she could create more exquisite works, even better than those floral decorations on the market.
To this end, she went to the bookstore to look up a large amount of information on floral and plant patterns.
The books here are of various types and rich in content. She browsed every relevant book eagerly.
After all, she had never seen the appearance of many plants with her own eyes.
Fortunately, Zhao Chunliang served as the owner of the bookstore. Under his protection, Zhao Chunhua had the opportunity to access rich painting materials and technique guides.
Her brother's understanding and support made her feel warm and gave her more courage and motivation.
What is surprising is that this small shop not only displays classic works such as traditional Confucian classics, history, and miscellaneous works, but also pamphlets of various legends and strange stories, and even vernacular works are specially displayed on a shelf.
These books are dazzling and attract countless readers.
Despite this, after Zhao Chunhua flipped through a few books, she did not find any work that could arouse her interest and make her continue reading.
She found that most of these novels told love stories between young ladies from wealthy families and poor young men. The content was all the same and there was nothing new about them. However, she had never read a plot where a wealthy young master fell in love with a common girl. This showed that the authors had a very accurate grasp of the readers' tastes, which gave her more inspiration and thinking about her own creation.
In this era, most people who were able to learn writing skills carried the expectations of their families, and those who were truly able to buy books were almost all men without exception.
In that feudal society, women were often viewed as subordinates, and were expected to be gentle and obedient rather than talented or independent.
Looking at the contents of the books in front of her, Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but shook her head slightly.
There are endless thoughts and ideas in her mind. It can be said that as long as she wants to, she can talk for hours without repeating herself; but she has to express those flashes of inspiration in her mind.
