Chapter 386: The more I poke, the more excited I become
The rejected little girl accepted it well. She looked down at Yi Chi Chi applying ointment to her hands. She endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold back the desire in her heart and said, "Auntie, can I learn this?"
Yi Chichi, "...you want to learn embroidery?"
"Um."
She nodded, turned her head to look at the big tiger on the silk cloth, her eyes sparkling as she said, "I want the big tiger."
This answer left Yi Chichi speechless.
"Just want the big tiger?"
"You can also ask for flowers. I can embroider whatever I want."
The goal is quite clear.
However……
Glancing at her carrot-like fingers, Yi Chichi said calmly, "Let's talk about it when you're older."
It's too small now.
"Can't learn?"
She looked disappointed.
"You don't study anymore?"
"Yes, but you don't have to read it every day. It won't interfere with my studies."
That's true.
Since the little girl is interested, let's give it a try.
In her original world, when she was Niu Niu's age, she could already embroider orchids.
So, after Yi Chichi quickly applied the ointment to her, he said, "I'll draw a simple diagram for you, try it first."
"good."
Niu Niu agreed with a smile, then sat next to her and watched her take out a piece of cotton cloth, then took out paper and pen, and quickly drew a picture of orchid on the white paper with the pen.
It's real grass, without even a flower bud.
The color scheme is single, green and green.
The lines are also simple, just three leaves.
She also marked the needle techniques, clearly indicating which point to insert the needle and where to drop it.
Anyone who knows a little needlework will understand it at a glance.
However, Niu Niu had never been exposed to needlework before, so marking did not mean that her task was completed. She still had to make a sample.
However, before making the sample, Yi Chichi pointed to the marked stitches and asked her, "Do you understand?"
Niuniu said confidently, as if she had been prepared, "I understand."
“…”Is this kid so capable?
Yi Chichi became interested, and after threading the needle and threading the white cotton cloth, he said, "I'll make a sample for you, so you can see it."
"good."
Seeing this, Yi Chichi placed the first stitch. Niu Niu watched very seriously. When she placed the second stitch, she looked at the needle diagram drawn by Yi Chichi, then looked at her needle point, and her hands moved consciously.
Yi Chichi noticed that her hands continued to move the needle, but he was watching her hands out of the corner of his eye.
She didn't notice the problem until she paid attention, but when she did, she was surprised to find that the child's imitation movements were in sync with her movements of pulling the thread and dropping the needle.
Wow, this kid is interesting.
This needs to be cultivated well, and maybe she will become an embroidery genius who can memorize composition.
Suppressing his excitement, Yi Chichi began to consciously speed up his needlework, asking, "Can you see?"
Niu Niu didn't answer in a hurry, but stared at the cotton cloth in her hand for a long time before giving a positive answer.
"able!"
The light in Yi Chichi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he became more and more moved. What should he do?
She stopped and handed over the cotton cloth and needle, "Come and try it."
"good."
Rubbing her hands, Niu Niu took the cotton cloth and needle she handed to her.
The thread was not used up yet, so she didn't need to thread the needle again.
So, what she needed to do was to embroider the orchid stitch by stitch according to the picture drawn by Yi Chichi.
For the first injection, she hesitated for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks and inserted the needle.
Yi Chichi sighed in his heart. He had the momentum, but the needle was crooked.
Take another look.
For the second stitch, the stitch point was spot on.
Not crooked either.
The third shot continues the style of the second shot.
Then the fourth and fifth stitches...
Her needle insertion speed began to increase, and it could be said that she became more skilled.
The stitches are very neat, but the thread appears uneven and bumpy because it is sometimes loose and sometimes tight.
But this is not a big problem. With more practice, you can find the frequency and strength of pulling the wire, and it will improve.
As a newbie, you will have problems of one kind or another.
Niu Niu is really interested in needlework. If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably lose interest after a few stitches and would not want to continue.
No, she became more and more excited as she poked. After finishing one thread, she immediately changed to another and continued.
Yi Chichi watched her finish embroidering three threads, and when she was about to embroider the fourth, she quickly stopped her, "Okay, you can stop now."
“…I still want to embroider.”
Niu Niu tightened her grip on the cotton cloth and turned to look at her eagerly.
"Don't you think this job is boring?"
"No, I think it's fun."
Yi Chichi remained silent, and there was nothing he could say about what was fun.
"Even if it's fun, we can't continue. Our eyes are more important."
She took the cotton cloth and needle and thread from Niuniu's hand and put them aside, pinched her cheek and said, "Go play with your brothers, I'll take you back later."
Niuniu didn't want to leave. She stared at the cotton cloth and said, "It's not finished yet."
"We can continue tomorrow. We are not in a hurry."
It's rare to come across a talented young person, and Yi Chichi has no intention of giving up so easily.
Instead, he planned to talk with Aunt Ma and the others before deciding on how to train him.
But he is really too young, and it is still unknown whether he can take this path in the future.
So, take your time.
"Can I come tomorrow?"
"able!"
Now Niu Niu smiled and was willing to go out and play.
Even when he was leaving, his eyes were full of reluctance to leave.
Yi Chichi found her look funny and asked, "Do you really like embroidery that much?"
"like!"
Niuniu couldn’t explain why she liked it or how much she liked it, but she still tried to express her thoughts in words, “I liked it when I saw it.”
Pointing to the big tiger on her embroidery frame and then to the cotton cloth on the kang table, she said, "When I embroider, I feel as happy as if I had eaten candy."
This is really like it.
Sugar holds a very high status in Niu Niu's heart, on par with meat.
In order to eat meat, this kid dares to catch snakes at such a young age.
In order to eat the candy her grandmother hid in the cabinet, she even used her brain to move a stool and chair to make a platform, climbed up to open the cabinet door to get the candy, but she fell down and cried loudly.
This happened not once, but twice, forcing Aunt Ma to no longer dare to hide the candy in a high place. She could only compete with her in wits and courage to limit the amount of candy she ate every day, and only then was the matter over.
Now, she felt equal when embroidering and eating candy.
"Got it. I'll take you back to talk to your mother and the others later."
Niuniu nodded, "I understand!"
"What do you know?"
Before Yi Chichi could say anything, Qin Jiu and the others who had been having fun outside came back and heard what she said, so they asked out of curiosity.
Niuniu chuckled and said, "Auntie wants to take me in as her apprentice."
“Wow.”
Qin Jiu and the other two were shocked. Yi Chi Chi wasn't much better. Just as she was about to explain, Er Zhuang spoke before her, "Since you're Aunt Chi Chi's apprentice, does that mean Xiao Jiu has to call you Auntie too?"
Yi Chichi held his forehead and said helplessly, "Er Zhuang, even if Niuniu becomes my apprentice, she is of the same generation as you. Xiaojiu can't call her aunt."
