Chapter 408 Embroidered Pomegranate
Wen Shi bared his teeth and answered loudly, then happily announced to Yi Chichi, "Tomorrow we will have a big piece of meat to eat."
Yi Chichi asked, "Did you see the prey?"
"No, but we put sauce in the trap."
Niuniu was confused. "Why use soy sauce? What a waste! There's not enough for everyone."
Kang Youxin knew the reason, but his words easily made people anxious. He opened his mouth but swallowed his words back, and asked Wen Shi to explain.
“People cannot live without salt, and neither can animals.”
He was very excited to talk and pulled Niu Niu over to give her on-the-spot teaching, talking about everything from the attributes of animals to their eating habits, and what foods certain animals have unique preferences for.
Niu Niu was listening with great interest at first, and the expression on her face gave Yi Chichi and the others a sense of novelty that the world was so wonderful.
But as she listened, her expression began to turn into confusion.
Then it goes blank.
Yi Chichi, “…”
Very good, this child Niu Niu is confused by her man’s teaching.
After all, the animals he mentioned, such as peacocks and elephants, are still difficult to imagine for children who have never seen them.
Seeing that he was about to continue, Yi Chichi quickly rescued Niu Niu and said, "Go with Uncle Kang, don't disturb Niu Niu and me."
Children are here to hand in homework, not to take animal classes.
Wen Shi looked at Kang Youxin, and he responded with a smile that said, "I really need someone to accompany me."
In an instant, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Okay, daughter-in-law, go ahead and get busy."
Then, Yi Chizhi pulled Niu Niu aside to continue the unfinished embroidery teaching.
Niu Niu is really talented in this area, and her new brain is also very useful.
In addition, I have already completed a work independently and accumulated some experience. Even if this experience is only at the beginner's level, the progress is extremely obvious.
Before, Yi Chichi asked her to practice acupuncture, and she did it very well, but it was limited to practice.
I won’t think about why the needle is placed in this way, why the spacing between dots needs to be adjusted according to different needle techniques, etc.
But now it’s different, she will think when Yi Chichi points out her problem.
Then give your own insights.
One teaches seriously, the other learns seriously, and they discuss things back and forth.
Aunt Ma, who came to pick someone up, saw this scene and couldn't help but touch her eyes. She said to Wen Shi beside her, "Xiao Shi, you have to be nice to Chi Chi, okay?"
Wen Shi nodded, "Aunt, I know."
Kang Youxin quickly wrote a line of words, saying: What if it is not good?
When I heard it, “???”
He didn't remember offending Uncle Kang, so the question was, did Uncle Kang want to stab him?
Aunt Ma chuckled, "If he's not good, just beat him up. It's that simple."
Wen Shi pressed the corners of his twitching mouth and said helplessly, "Aunt, can you please hope for me to get better?"
"Looking forward to it."
Aunt Ma said earnestly, "Chi Chi's hands are not suitable for manual labor, but her hands allow her to make a living and support her family. If you want to be with her for a long time, you must remember that she can live well without you."
At this point, she asked Wen Shi, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understand!"
Wen Shi nodded. He understood too well. "Don't worry, Auntie. I promise I won't act like a nobody in front of her, and she won't think I'm better than her."
As long as he has a clear mind, he is confident that he can join hands with Yi Chichi.
Aunt Ma raised her eyebrows, thinking quite clearly.
Her eyes fell on Yi Chichi and she sighed, "He's still too thin."
Kang Youxin and Wen Shi remained silent.
Compared with Aunt Ma's physique, Yi Chichi is indeed quite thin.
Her frame is here, so even though she is tall, she is slender and tall, unlike the girls in the village who have big frames.
Compared with my aunt and her group of strong and sturdy people who can knock their own men down, they look easier to bully.
In other words, Yi Chichi's first impression is that he is not a good fighter.
Wen Shi opened his mouth to say that he didn't hit his wife, but Yi Chichi, who couldn't hit her, was so thirsty from talking that he took the water cup to drink, and out of the corner of his eye he saw that there was another person in the room.
She was startled for a moment, then turned around and blurted out, "Auntie, when did you come?"
"When you talk about bending shapes, cutting needles, rolling needles, and so on."
Yi Chizhi said "oh". Half an hour had passed since she explained the several needle techniques in Panzhen, which also meant that Aunt Ma had been in the house for quite some time.
"Auntie, are you here to take Niuniu home?"
"Yes, time to go home for dinner."
I can't just learn a skill at her house and have her provide me with food. I have to have some dignity.
It’s already a huge favor that I haven’t asked for Niu Niu’s tuition yet. It’s inappropriate to ask for her food for free.
“It’s the same at my house.”
She smiled and tried to keep the guest, but Aunt Ma refused, "How can it be the same? Your family's food is good, and mine is bad. If I really keep the guest, I won't be able to return it."
It's not equal and not presentable.
She would never do such a thing as to suffer for the sake of saving face.
So, "I've cooked for Niu Niu, but it would be a waste if she doesn't go back to eat it."
Actually, just listen to this.
Nowadays, there is less oil and water, and the human body cannot replenish enough oil and water, which leads to a large appetite for all men, women, young and old.
Because I get hungry quickly.
Therefore, waste is impossible to waste.
If Niu Niu's portion was divided among Aunt Ma and the others, it would be gone.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in staying any longer.
So, she gathered some thread, a piece of cotton cloth, and a simple embroidery pattern and handed them to Niuniu, "Embroider a pomegranate this time."
Niuniu took it, looked at it, and exclaimed, "So much red."
"Um."
Yi Chichi responded, "When embroidering, carefully distinguish the different shades of red and try not to make any mistakes."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll remember that."
The little girl nodded obediently, then took the equipment given by Yi Chichi and called Aunt Ma to go home.
As she reached the door, she remembered something, "By the way, Auntie, are you still willing to teach others?"
Yi Chichi thought about it and shook his head, "I won't teach you for now."
Before she finished speaking, she winked at Aunt Ma, indicating that she should take Niuniu back quickly.
When Aunt Ma heard what Niu Niu said, she knew how to respond. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know what to say.
From Yi Chichi's look, she knew that Yi Chichi had noticed something was wrong.
Then he said, "They want to learn to let their mother bring them to your aunt Chi Chi and say that it's not your turn as a little kid to worry about it."
Niu Niu had a confused look on her face, not quite understanding what her grandma said, but she still said "oh" obediently to show that she understood.
Wen Shi suddenly realized what was going on. After sending the person away, he approached Yi Chi Chi like a Husky and asked, "Wife, do you know who Niuniu is talking about?"
"Know."
There are only a few girls in the village who are about the same age as Niu Niu and who are good friends with her. She can decide on the candidate without even using the process of elimination.
Wen Shi didn't ask who it was, but said, "If their parents really brought their children to your house, would you be willing to teach them?"
"It's useless even if I'm willing. Embroidery actually requires a lot of talent. Besides, it requires a lot of supplies, which all cost money. Not every parent is willing to spend money like Aunt Ma and the others to let their children learn the craft."
That makes sense, right? "I haven't seen you charge for Niuniu's supplies."
"That's because Aunt Ma and the others gave me a hundred yuan to buy supplies for Niuniu."
