Chapter 191 Gold and Silver Threads
Wen Shi felt that his wife was very frugal with her money and was very generous to him.
And make money.
As expected, he is destined to be a gigolo.
"Wife, buy one too."
He urged Yi Chichi to buy one as well.
"One."
Yi Chichi waved at him and said, "Let's go buy things for my aunt and the others."
Whenever you go out, you have to bring back some gifts.
You can buy it and send it directly from the post office. You don’t have to bring it back to the island. How convenient.
When it comes to shopping, Wen Shi has no say, nor does he need one. His role is just to be a bag-carrying tool.
So, in the following time, he followed Yi Chichi everywhere and watched her buy things such as cigarettes, alcohol, candy, chocolate, woolen cloth, tin box biscuits, tin frogs and so on.
It can be said that it has everything you need for eating, drinking, and having fun, except for the service.
But this line was soon filled.
Because she bought two pairs of leather shoes, one pair for men in size 42 and one pair for women in size 37.
“Who did you buy the shoes for?”
"Uncle Yaozi and Aunt Mu."
The couple took good care of her and treated her like their daughter. For the sake of the Guanyin statue, they not only cleaned the house for her, but also did not let her do any work unless it was necessary.
She said she was on duty in the team doctor's office, but in fact she was just reporting during that time. She spent most of her time locked in her room, concentrating on embroidering the Guanyin statue.
This feeling must be remembered.
Have to pay it back too.
She explained the cause and effect in a low voice and in a concise manner. After listening, Wen Shi agreed with her approach.
I was also worried that she might have bought too little and asked her if she should buy more.
"No, this is a long-term thing, not just a one-time or two-time thing."
Wen Shi nodded, "Just keep it in mind."
So, this topic ends here.
After finishing their shopping, the two returned to Ning Jiandong's office carrying large and small bags.
Just in time for the staff to come over to deliver materials, and seeing Yi Chichi, he quickly waved, "Xiao Yi, come over and take a look at these embroidery threads."
Yi Chichi leaned over to take a look and found that they were all high-quality silk threads.
The colors are also varied, ranging from dark to light.
Silk thread is the embroidery thread with the most colors. It is made by spinning and twisting silk from silkworm cocoons. All threads are custom-made with guaranteed quality.
She opened one and took a look. It was about 20 meters long, with 16 strands in each strand, and each strand was divided into two types of fleece.
One piece of wool is made up of eight threads.
When embroidering, you can choose the thickness of the thread according to the effect you want.
After tying the untied embroidery thread again and putting it back, Yi Chichi's attention was attracted by two bundles of thread, one gold and one silver.
"purl?"
"right."
Ning Jiandong nodded, "I guess only you can use this thing."
He didn't dare give it to others for fear that it would be wasted.
Yi Chichi, "??? It's a good thing, but I can't use it."
No matter whether it is double-sided embroidery of the Four Gentlemen or the big and small pandas, gold and silver threads are not used.
The key is that this thing is expensive, and the craftsmanship required of the craftsman who makes the gold and silver threads is also high.
In today's environment, I'm afraid there are not many Friendship Stores that have these two bundles of gold and silver threads.
Thinking of this, she said, "Keep it for now, and use it for the next piece after you finish the double-sided embroidery."
Ning Jiandong showed a happy smile on his face. He liked Yi Chichi's confident look.
If you are not confident enough in your craft, you will not say such things.
"Then I'll keep these two bundles of thread for you."
"good."
Yi Chichi started checking the needles again. The models were 11 and 12, and the needles were divided into soft and hard.
For threads below 8 threads, it is customary to use a No. 12 gold-tail needle, which is thin and soft.
The pinhole is relatively small.
For multi-thread embroidery, a No. 12 hard needle with a larger needle hole is generally used.
After checking the needle, she looked at the embroidery frame.
Because the Four Gentlemen wanted fan leaves, the embroidery frame provided by Ning Jiandong was a round frame. If the embroidery was of a larger size, a rolled frame would be needed.
The embroidery frame is mainly checked for burrs and fit problems between the snaps.
Facts have proved that the quality of materials provided by Friendship Store is guaranteed.
Ning Jiandong, who had been paying attention to her, saw that she had carefully checked all the materials and had a satisfied look on her face. He asked with a smile, "Is everything okay?!"
"No."
"Embroider well and don't let me down."
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure of."
Yi Chichi solemnly promised, "I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
"good."
After packing up her things, she looked like she was going to say goodbye and leave.
Ning Jiandong was stunned. "Didn't we agree to go home for dinner?"
Wen Shi and Yi Chi Chi looked at each other. Wasn't this just a polite remark? Seeing the two of them like this, Ning Jiandong still had something to understand. He said with a smile, "I'm not being polite to you. I really want to invite you to my house for dinner."
Yi Chichi, "..."
Damn it, they didn't take other people's sincerity to heart, what should they do now? They didn't even prepare any gifts.
She winked at Wen Shi and asked, "What should we do now?"
Wen Shi was very calm. It was still early and there was plenty of time to prepare gifts.
"Uncle Ning is here too?"
This is to find out whether the Ning brothers have split up.
"exist."
Ning Jiandong understood his thoughts immediately and began to provide information on his own initiative.
"The main thing is that the old lady wants to see Xiao Yi."
"ah?"
Yi Chichi was confused, "Why would the old lady want to see me?"
They had never met each other, and even Brother Ning Jiandong had only met her once.
It's obviously unrealistic to say that I like her.
She didn't think there was anything about her that was worthy of the old lady's concern.
Ning Jiandong had some idea in his mind, but there were so many people talking that he could only say vaguely, "I'll know when I see you."
Yi Chichi and Wen Shi exchanged glances and could only suppress the doubts in their hearts and say hello to Ning Jiandong. They first went to the post office to send the things they bought back.
He also sent a telegram to Wen's mother to inform her that they had obtained their marriage certificate.
Afterwards, he returned to the Friendship Store to buy gifts for their visit to the Ning family, and then left with Ning Jiandong, who had just gotten off work, and headed to the Ning family.
The Ning family is a typical family living in a large courtyard. There are guards at the door and the entry and exit of strangers are strictly managed.
Wen Shi and Yi Chichi were allowed to enter only after they registered their information accompanied by Ning Jiandong.
Most of the buildings in the compound are single-family houses. There are also some high-rise buildings, but they are not numerous, just a few scattered around. Judging from their colors and architectural shapes, they were newly built in the past two years.
The Ning family lives in the center of the single-family area. They have a two-story building with a yard. There are no flowers or trees planted in the yard, but a vegetable plot.
The Ning brothers did not separate and lived together.
Both brothers come from dual-cadre families.
Ning Jianping is in the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, and his wife Liang Yu is in the Provincial Women's Federation.
He has two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son joined the army, and the second son is a girl who is in school. They are workers, peasants and soldiers.
In order to respond to the call, the third brother quietly signed up to go to the countryside and is currently in the Construction Corps in southern Yunnan.
Ning Jiandong's wife Jiang Youlai is a doctor working at Yangcheng Hospital. She went to Beijing to attend an exchange meeting and is not at home.
Their children were at home, one was 12 years old and the other was only five years old.
Both children are not shy and are obsessed with looks.
Ever since Yi Chichi and Wen Shi entered the room, the brother and sister, who were snuggling up to the old lady in colorful clothes, started talking to each other after their father (uncle) introduced them to each other.
