Chapter 188: Keeping Oneself Clean is the Best Gift for a Man
"Uncle Ning's younger brother Ning Jiandong."
Wen Shi explained softly, and Yi Chichi nodded. He knew them even without being told. It was really that the two brothers looked too much alike, as if they shared the same face.
But this big brother and big sister...the generations are wrong!
"Oh, big brother and big sister, I've finally waited for you."
Ning Jiandong was a warm-hearted man. He came up to take the bag from Wen Shi's hand and said, "My brother reminded me this morning to come pick you up. Let's go, let's talk inside. I can't let you get hurt."
Yi Chichi was a little confused by this enthusiasm. Was the Friendship Store so short of embroidery? Wen Shi pulled her hand and followed Ning Jiandong into his office at the Friendship Store, chatting and laughing.
As soon as I sat down, I heard him say, "It's all thanks to our sister's good craftsmanship. That Guanyin statue is really a masterpiece. You two shouldn't go back tonight. Can we go to my house for dinner?"
"It's the best thing to have a place to eat. There's nothing that can't be done."
Yi Chichi wanted to refuse, but Wen Shi agreed with a smile.
Her eyes flashed, and she understood in her heart that this was a request for help, but what it was specifically requested was still unknown.
But it’s definitely not something outside of the Friendship Store.
Seeing that they agreed, the smile on Ning Jiandong's face became more and more enthusiastic.
He poured tea and handed it over, and brought candy, lychees and other treats, before sitting across from the two of them, smiling at Yi Chichi awkwardly, "Can I call you Xiao Yi?"
"Okay, uncle."
Then, the two entered the formal conversation stage.
Wen Shi sat aside, eating and drinking, and from time to time he would peel a lychee and put it into Yi Chichi's mouth.
Ning Jiandong also did not forget to treat everyone equally.
Seeing that he had picked up some carambolas to feed the fish again, the two people who were talking looked helpless.
"Don't feed it."
Ning Jiandong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Can we wait until we finish talking about business before feeding it?"
"OK."
Wen Shi withdrew his hand, put the carambola into his mouth, and his ears pricked up.
"I've seen the Guanyin statue you embroidered. It's very good, but I need to see your composition and color matching."
The implication is: he wants to see the embroidery pattern.
Yi Chichi nodded, "Of course, but I need uncle to provide some painting tools."
A good painter may not necessarily be able to embroider, but a master who can embroider must be good at painting.
In the initial learning stage, Yi Chichi needed to conceive the embroidery patterns by herself, and prepare everything from composition to color matching before she dared to start.
Later, she simply abandoned the embroidery pattern and composed the colors directly from her mind.
If you have ready-made embroidery, the step of looking at the embroidery sample can be omitted.
But now we don’t have that, so we can only compose and match the colors on the spot.
After all, the Guanyin statue was not her own embroidery pattern, but an embroidery pattern provided by the owner, so Ning Jiandong was unable to confirm her skills.
So, hearing her request, Ning Jiandong smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
"good."
Five minutes later, he returned to the office with a complete set of painting tools.
Wen Shiqin cleaned up the table. Ning Jiandong gave him an appreciative look, then placed the tools on the table and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.
"We can start now."
Yi Chi Chi was not vague either. He took the paintbrush and asked him, "Uncle, do you have any requirements for the embroidery pattern?"
Ning Jiandong thought for a moment and said, "Double-sided embroidery, the kind with a big contrast."
"Giant pandas and red pandas, will that work?"
One is big and the other is small; one is in black and white, the other is in reddish brown and white. The contrast is absolutely huge.
But there are one or two things in common.
1: They are all furry.
Two: Cute.
Cuteness is justice.
Furthermore, foreigners' love for pandas is a bit crazy.
Of course, we can’t say that everyone loves pandas.
But as long as you catch a furry lover at the trade fair, you won’t have to worry about not being able to sell it at a good price.
Friendly gifts are another matter.
It's not her responsibility, she is only responsible for producing works and getting paid.
Ning Jiandong had no idea what she was thinking. He knew what giant pandas looked like. There were two in the Guangzhou Zoo, and he had taken his children to see them.
The black and white round shape is so beautiful.
The red panda is also pretty.
If these two animals were embroidered on the same piece of cloth, the contrast was so great that he wanted to keep it for himself.
"Draw it quickly so I can see it."
"good."
Yi Chichi nodded and entered the immersive composition.
The paintbrush seemed to come alive in her hands. As her nose moved, the giant panda gradually took shape, followed by the color matching.
Next up is the red panda…
Ning Jiandong and Wen Shi stood by and watched without blinking. The more Wen Shi watched, the prouder he became, while the more Ning Jiandong watched, the brighter the light in his eyes became.
"I only knew that she was good at embroidery, but I didn't expect that she was also an excellent painter."
Wen Shiyu was proud of it. "My wife is amazing. She can also make clothes. The shirt I'm wearing was made by her, and the pants were altered by her."
He is serious when it comes to showing off his wife.
Ning Jiandong's attention was drawn to his words and his eyes fell on his clothes.
Then, he focused on the dark pattern on Wen Shi's collar.
"Is this pattern originally present in the fabric?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it. Wen Shi took two steps back and said, "Uncle, just talk, don't touch me."
My wife said that keeping oneself clean is the best gift for men. Not only should unmarried lesbians stay away from them, but also unfamiliar gay men should try to avoid close contact.
Unless you are familiar with each other.
Unfortunately, he and Ning Jiandong are not that familiar with each other yet, so he has to stay away.
"If you really want to see, look at the sleeves."
He lowered his sleeves and held out his arm. “This pattern was embroidered by my wife.”
Ning Jiandong, who had a premonition long ago, was confirmed in his mind. He was instantly shocked and grabbed his sleeve and began to study it, muttering to himself.
"The needlework is exquisite, the color matching is excellent, there are no bumps, but it is smooth and even, and it is integrated with the fabric..."
Satisfied, he put down his sleeves and praised, "It's a masterpiece. Now it depends on her composition and color matching."
"I will definitely not let you down, uncle."
Wen Shi was highly confident that his wife was the best at embroidery.
In fact, Yi Chichi did live up to his words. The embroidery samples made Ning Jiandong excited and he proposed to collect them.
Yi Chichi, "??? Collection?"
“Yes, I like this picture.”
He looked at the giant panda holding a bunch of green bamboo in its hands with a naive look, and the red panda with its tail erect as if smiling, and he did not conceal the burning love in his eyes.
“But this is an embroidery pattern.”
"Give me the embroidery pattern after you finish embroidering, okay?"
The first part was sonorous and powerful, but the tone became pleading when asking whether it was okay or not.
What could Yi Chichi do but smile and nod and say okay.
This also means that double-sided embroidery with giant panda and red panda themes is almost done.
Now it’s time to talk about the details.
"My brother said you're going back at the end of the month?"
"Um."
There is only one month of vacation, and now ten days have passed. It will take about five days to get on the road, which means that she only has half a month left to spend with Wen Shi.
"Well, before you go back, make a fan. You can choose any one of the following: plum, orchid, bamboo, or chrysanthemum. It's up to you to make it, but the quality must be guaranteed."
