Chapter 289 Okay, I’ll give it to you
Seeing that Baoya and Yunyue were so interested, Yunhua also smiled.
She pointed at the different stitches on the cloth with her tender little fingers and explained to the two little sisters: "This is called a loose stitch, this is called a braided stitch, which looks like a braid, this is called a rolling stitch, this is called a wrapping stitch, and this is called a seed stitch..."
Baoya and Yunyue were dazzled by what they saw. She stretched out her little hand and gently stroked the piece of silk embroidered by Yunhua.
She sighed, "I used to think cooking was complicated, with so many ingredients, so many seasonings, and so many cooking methods. Now I don't know embroidery is this complex, with so many stitches that I'm overwhelmed."
"There are 360 professions, and every profession has its top talent, but none of them are easy." Grandma Yu smiled as she slowly rocked in her rocking chair. "Even in studying, there are only a few who can excel."
"So, you three, no matter what you like or what you study, you must put your heart into it."
"Yes! Grandma Yu, we will remember it!"
The three little girls responded together.
When they came out of Grandma Yu's house, it was already dark. The three sisters held hands and ran towards the academy.
"Hurry up, evening class is about to begin!"
Yunyue urged, "Baoya, it's all your fault. You insisted on eating one more bite of Yunpian Cake!"
Baoya was not to be outdone: "Fourth sister, why are you pestering third sister to teach you needlework?"
"Okay," Yunhua was helplessly caught in the middle. "Aren't you two tired of running and arguing at the same time?"
The two little babies on the left and right shut up at the same time.
In order to take a shortcut, the three of them came out of Nanjiao Street and walked through the diagonal street behind the academy, which was half the distance shorter than taking the main road.
The sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. The three of them were so focused on running that they didn't pay any attention to what was happening around them.
Suddenly, Baoya, who was running, suddenly realized something.
Her eyes focused, and she raised her hand and pushed Yunhua and Yunyue forward with force. She also rushed forward and was caught in the arms of Yunhua who reacted quickly.
Crash!
A basin of black dirty water was poured out from a shop on the street.
Fortunately, Baoya and the others dodged in time and only a little water splashed on their clothes, otherwise they would have been soaked.
"Who is this blind person!" Yun Yue was furious. She looked towards the door of the shop and saw a short little girl standing there holding a basin.
"Oh, it's too dark, I can't tell if it's a human or a dog!"
This shrill voice was so familiar that Yunyue immediately called out, "Chen Xiaojuan!"
Chen Xiaojuan was holding a basin in her hand, her little face hidden in the shadow under the eaves, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
But her voice was filled with sarcasm: "From now on, don't go down this road! Otherwise, I'll splash you with water every time I see you!"
"Are you shameless? Is this street yours?!" Yun Yue pointed her little finger at her nose and gasped in anger.
Baoya quickly stopped her: "Fourth sister, ignore her. At worst, we can just not leave here next time."
"But she's going too far! Did we provoke her? We can't even leave here?!"
She was righteously angry when a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the darkness.
Yunyue was startled, but the black shadow was not coming towards them, but went straight towards Chen Xiaojuan.
"Money! Come on, give me the money!"
This voice is vicious and angry.
Baoya frowned and looked at Yunyue and Yunhua. All three of them were a little shocked.
This figure turned out to be Chen Chengcai!
Chen Chengcai came to ask Chen Xiaojuan for money?
"Let go!"
Chen Xiaojuan's screams were heard as well, "Chen Chengcai, I'm just an apprentice, where does the money come from?"
"Oh, no? My mother told me that not only will you have food and lodging here, but you'll also get fifteen cents a month! Here!"
Chen Chengcai pulled Chen Xiaojuan's hair and said viciously, "What do I care about you?! If you don't take the money, I'll make a scene here! I don't think you can continue working here!"
Chen Xiaojuan's face turned pale instantly. She now depended on her father Chen Changshui for everything. Chen Changshui was now paralyzed and the family could no longer farm the land, so it had been sold to someone else. Now she had to rely on her apprenticeship in the town and the fifteen cents she earned every month!
"You can't make a fuss! If I say no, then no! You might as well force me to death!"
Yunyue was watching with great interest when Baoya suddenly poked her little arm.
"Fourth sister has left, and third sister will be late for class later."
"Yeah." Yunyue nodded, and the three little girls continued to run towards the academy hand in hand.
Is Chen Xiaojuan pitiful? Yes, she is quite pitiful.
But what does this have to do with them?
Baoya no longer had any resentment towards the Chen family. In fact, she had never resented anyone from the beginning to the end.
At this moment, she just felt that this family was very pitiful.
The three of them ran all the way to the academy. Jingzhen was still sitting on the donkey cart at the entrance of the academy, with his legs crossed and hay in his hand, feeding it to the little donkey.
Seeing the three people running out of breath, he pursed his lips and chuckled: "What's going on? Is there a mad dog chasing you?"
Baoya gasped for breath and waved her little hand, "Third... Third sister, hurry up... you're going to be late!"
Yunhua also nodded while panting, said goodbye to Baoya and Yunyue, and went into the academy.
Qi Mo just came out from inside, and saw this with a helpless look on his face: "It's late, so why run? Go inside and rest first."
After sending Yunhua to the academy, Jingzhen untied the donkey and took Baoya and Yunyue back to Feishui Village. When they reached Nanjiao Street, Yun Sanlang and his wife's ox cart just came out of the intersection.
However, the ox cart was full of people, including Yun Sanlang and He Chunxiu, as well as the eldest wife and her husband.
Seeing the three children on the donkey cart, Wang Cailian kicked Yun Dalang and said, "Go, you don't mind the crowd, go drive the cart for the kids!"
Yun Dalang let out an "Ah" and went away happily.
Jingzhen was replaced and sat in the back truck with Baoya and the others.
Baoya thought about what happened today when she met Chen Xiaojuan and Chen Chengcai, and for some reason, she felt uneasy.
Chen Chengcai was so anxious to ask Chen Xiaojuan for money that he didn't notice them. They were all in the same town. If next time...
Thinking of this, she stretched out her soft little finger, poked the back of Jingzhen's hand, and called him softly, "Brother Jing."
Jingzhen was taking a nap with his eyes closed. When he heard her shout, he opened one eye in his daze and glanced at her: "Huh?"
"Could you accompany me and Fourth Sister to pick up Third Sister next time?"
Jingzhen lost his sleepiness instantly. He remembered the three girls running out of breath just now. He wondered if they were really afraid of being late or if they had encountered something.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you...you guys."
Yu Yilu, Madam Yu, we are old acquaintances.
However, he was only three or four years old at that time. He has grown up so much now. I probably won’t be able to recognize him.
