Chapter 152: Fence-Sitter
"There's a portrait!"
Before he finished speaking, he rummaged through the luggage and handed over a painting tube.
The bamboo painting tube was opened and the scroll inside was taken out and unfolded, revealing a painting of Guanyin in purple.
Purple-robed Guanyin is one of the most famous Guanyin statues in Putuo Mountain, with many believers.
The painter who painted Guanyin has first-rate painting skills, and what is even more commendable is that he put a lot of emotion into the painting. The pair of eyes are the finishing touch, which fully embodies the holiness and charm of Guanyin.
“It looks so complicated.”
Muda, who had never seen the Guanyin statue before, came over to take a look and suddenly felt worried. He began to worry that Yi Chizhi would not be able to embroider the charm of this Guanyin statue.
“Can this be embroidered?”
"able!"
Yi Chichi was full of confidence. After all, she was one of the people whose embroidery works were exhibited in the National Museum, and she had embroidered so many national gifts.
It’s just a statue of Guanyin, it can’t faze her.
“Are there any requirements for embroidery techniques?”
“Suzhou embroidery.”
That's no problem, she is proficient in Suzhou embroidery.
If she wanted to do Sichuan embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, etc., she would have to spend two months to practice the technique. Now, she can directly order an embroidery frame and wait to start work.
I’ve decided. I’ll go find Uncle Liu to make an embroidery frame tomorrow.
Considering that Uncle Yaozi and his family had traveled a long way back, after chatting for a while, Yi Chichi, at his request, took her newly born aunt to wash up and led them back to the house.
Qin Jiu was handed over to Uncle Yaozi, and the grandfather and grandson shared a room at night.
Yi Chichi and Muda live in the same room.
The two women, who had cleaned themselves up, lay on the bed and chatted.
Although it was called a casual chat, in fact, Mu Da was mainly asking Yi Chichi about Uncle Yaozi's experiences over the years.
Yi Chi Chi's face suddenly turned bitter. "Aunt, I was sent to work in the countryside as an educated youth. I only got to know Uncle Yaozi this year."
Muda understood immediately. This meant that he didn’t quite understand it before.
"After interacting with him, do you think he is doing well?"
“It looks good on the surface.”
The man who feeds the whole family with one person's food is a carefree person. Also, because he is a barefoot doctor, he is quite respected.
But only on the surface.
“Only he knows how much pain he feels inside.”
Otherwise, she wouldn't have cried so hard and lost her image when she was hypnotized.
"Aunt, how about you? Have you been doing well these years?"
She looked at Muda, her eyes full of curiosity.
The love of the older generation is actually quite sad, especially the love during the war years, which is a real luxury.
Some people spend their entire lives trying to preserve the pure land in their hearts, waiting for someone who will die on the battlefield and never be able to return home.
Some people promise to be together for life, but they ruin each other's life, while they themselves have many children and grandchildren.
Uncle Yaozi and Muda are neither of these two types.
It is truly a beautiful thing that we can still be together again after being separated for so many years.
But she was still curious about Muda's psychological changes over the years.
“…I don’t know if it’s good or not.”
She was silent for a long time before she covered her chest with her hands, feeling the beating of her heart, and her soft voice was tinged with a hint of smile.
"Although I was busy with work and had friends before, this place was empty and I always felt like something was missing. Now..."
With a curved lip smile, "The missing piece has been made up."
"That's not good."
Yi Chichi realized that there was a missing piece in his heart and a huge regret in his life, and it would not be better no matter how hard he tried.
"It's not bad, but at least I don't have time to think about it."
Patting Yi Chichi's head, she chuckled and said, "Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow."
really.
Then, have a good night's sleep.
At around six o'clock the next morning, Yi Chichi, whose biological clock was already on time, got up, brushed his teeth and washed up, cooked noodles, woke everyone up, had breakfast, sent Qin Jiu to school, and then made arrangements to move back to the Youth League Home.
Now that the real owner has returned home, she has to make room.
Old witch, I miss your cooking skills so much.
It’s hard to cook for yourself every day.
She was finally free.
Seeing her full of joy, Uncle Yaozi said sourly, "Are you so happy to be back at the Youth Hostel?"
“I don’t have to cook for myself and I can eat ready-made food every day, which makes me happy.”
Uncle Yaozi thought about it from his own perspective and found that the joy of not cooking was truly incomparable.
In line with the principle of not wanting to see others doing well, he asked coldly, "What will you do with Xiao Jiu when you return to the Youth Farm?"
"Go back to his grandfather."
Since the start of the school year, Qin Jiu has become good friends with Dun Dun and others with his strong personal charm.
I also made new friends at school.
Children with good grades and good looks have privileges.
Especially for those who are beautiful and have a high IQ and precocious temperament and have been carefully nurtured since childhood due to their family background. Their vision and even the knowledge they have learned are incomparable to those of children of the same age in the small mountain village.
Even if someone is older than him, they may not be able to compare to him.
Therefore, as long as no one reports him or causes trouble, Qin Jiu can live like an ordinary child.
This also means that he can return to his old man.
As for her, she has done what she was supposed to do and has done everything she was supposed to do.
You can no longer protect your children as if they were your own eyes.
Being a greenhouse flower is not Qin Jiu's destiny. His fate is to soar into the sky like an eagle, fearless of wind and rain.
The Qin family's situation would not allow him to become a greenhouse flower.
"I can take time to see him every morning and evening."
Uncle Yaozi was quite surprised, "I thought you would be reluctant to let go."
In the morning, when Yi Chichi was cooking noodles, he took a stroll around the village, chatted with people, and learned about the big and small things that had happened in the village during the time he was away.
Naturally, he also knew what Yi Chichi had paid for Qin Jiu's schooling.
"That's not possible. Raising a child is like flying a kite. You need to let go when you need to and keep it tight when you need to."
The same is true for men.
After all, a man remains a boy until he dies.
"That's interesting."
Muda chuckled and added, then winked at her future husband, signaling him to speak quickly.
Uncle Yaozi immediately understood what she meant and cleared his throat. "Girl, have you ever thought about not going back to the Youth Hostel and living here?"
"inconvenient."
She didn't say what was inconvenient, but Uncle Yaozi knew it.
"I can cook. There are extra rooms."
Yi Chichi's forehead was full of black lines. Good, this was forcing her to speak her mind.
"We are newlyweds, and we are very passionate. Do you want me to continue?"
If she continues, she can't guarantee that she can keep her mouth shut.
Coming from the era of information explosion, she dares to do and say what she wants.
Shy? What is that? It doesn't exist for her.
As soon as these words were spoken, the couple-to-be wilted instantly.
Then, Yi Chichi successfully moved back to the Youth League Home.
She brought with her large and small bags, as well as seafood and dried fruits that Uncle Yaozi had bought for her from the south.
They fell in love when they met, and she had a good relationship with Wang Nan and the others.
Yi Chichi's return made the atmosphere of the entire Youth League Institute cheerful.
Only Yan Wanwan and Ning Haitao started to make sarcastic remarks to her as if she owed them eight million.
"Some people are like fence-sitters, leaning this way and that way."
