Chapter 288 Embroidery Team Begins Work



The fur ball just lay on the ground and wouldn't get up.

Just as An Qingbai was about to grab it, it leaped and ran into the house.

An Qingbai shook his head, smiled, and followed him inside.

Just then, Zhuang Zhimeng saw Maoqiu come in and stopped it.

"Go to the corner and reflect on your actions. You won't have your teething toy tomorrow."

If the hen jumps into the fence and bothers her again, she won't get any treats for a week.

If there's a third time, not only will you not get any snacks anymore, but you'll only have cornmeal porridge for meals, understand?

Maoqiu walked slowly to the corner with her head down, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away.

An Qingbai burst out laughing when he saw it.

"Haha, Maoqiu loves to act. Just now, it didn't want me to catch it, so it pretended to be dead."

Zhuang Zhimeng glared at Maoqiu with a smile.

"Never mind that, Aber, let's go to the cowshed and bring some food to the two masters and the old monk."

“Okay, honey, you can also take some pickles from Liubiju. They can be stored for a long time.”

"Okay, then give them two more jars of pickles."

The couple picked up their things and headed towards the cowshed.

They kept a close eye out for anyone, and the journey was uneventful. The couple only went back to sleep after delivering the items.

When she returned and saw that Maoqiu was still facing the wall, Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and patted its body.

"Alright, go to sleep."

The little furball immediately ran to its bed, head in and rear out, ignoring its owner.

Zhuang Zhimeng didn't want to indulge it, so she turned around and left.

At six o'clock in the morning, An Qingbai kissed his wife as usual before getting up to go for a run.

The furry ball was fully revived after one night and followed its male owner back to its original state.

Zhuang Zhimeng also got up, preparing to collect the eggs laid by the hen.

When we got to the henhouse, we found four eggs; each hen had laid two.

She found it quite strange, since Aunt Tian had clearly said that each chicken would lay one egg every day without fail.

The doubt lasted only a moment; he put the eggs in the warehouse and went back inside.

Take out paper and pen and write down the nutritional formula of the fodder.

Wrap the grass seeds in kraft paper; we'll use them when signing the agreement at noon.

He went to the guest room and took out seven sets of needles and thread from the storeroom, placing them on the kang table.

I didn't feel like cooking this morning, so after washing up, I did a set of military boxing exercises in the yard.

This is a move that Zhuang Zhimeng learned from her grandfather when she was little. She hadn't practiced it for a long time, but today she suddenly wanted to try it out.

An Qingbai happened to come back and saw it, and he was stunned.

"You're so cool, baby."

Zhuang Zhimeng smiled only after completing the final movement.

"I'll teach you another time when I have time."

"Okay, I'd really like to learn. I feel like you look so beautiful and cool when you fight."

"Hehe, I think so too. Ah Bo, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"knew."

An Qingbai sat down and saw that there was nothing on the dining table.

"Honey, have we become so poor that we're eating air?"

"Haha, I'm too lazy to cook today."

"Let's eat tofu pudding and fried dough sticks. We bought so many in Beijing!"

As Zhuang Zhimeng spoke, she took out tofu pudding and fried dough sticks from the warehouse.

An Qingbai nodded.

"Luckily, we bought a lot of delicious food in Beijing, which saved us a lot of trouble."

"Yeah, if we don't want to cook, we can just be lazy and eat what's ready-made."

Zhuang Zhimeng and her lover were enjoying their breakfast.

The furball got upset, as it seemed no one was taking care of it, so it ran to its owner and lay down on her feet.

"Hehe, Maoqiu is urging me to prepare its food. I'll give it a little tofu pudding and some noodles."

An Qingbai smiled and poured the last bite into his mouth.

"Baby, take it out, I'll take care of it, you can continue eating."

"Alright."

Zhuang Zhimeng took out tofu pudding and noodles, and An Qingbai took Maoqiu's rice bowl and poured some out.

Maoqiu recognized its food bowl and immediately ran over. It smelled good and started eating heartily.

An Qingbai was about to go to work. Before leaving, he kissed his wife and gave her some instructions.

"Honey, I'll be back to cook lunch."

Zhuang Zhimeng returned a kiss to her lover.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and do it."

Zhuang Zhimeng saw that she still had time, so she cleaned the house.

I brewed a pot of flower tea for anyone who was thirsty, and I also boiled a pot of water, since there was a pregnant woman among them.

Around eight o'clock, the six people arrived one after another.

Zhuang Zhimeng greeted them.

"Take off your shoes and get on the kang (heated brick bed). I'll be the little teacher today."

Our task is to embroider the specified pattern onto the fabric.

The reward for embroidering one piece is two yuan.

There are 210 pieces of fabric in total, which means each person needs to embroider 30 pieces.

The period is one month, and each person can earn sixty yuan.

All six people were delighted to hear this and surprisingly spoke in unison.

"I'll do whatever Teacher Zhuang says."

Zhuang Zhimeng laughed.

"Haha, let's be casual. I'll start by demonstrating how to embroider."

Zhuang Zhimeng took out a piece of extra fabric and demonstrated while explaining.

"These pieces of fabric are for you to practice on. Once I've seen them and they're satisfactory, you can then embroider them onto the proper fabric."

Zhuang Zhimeng looked at Xiazi as she spoke.

"Xiazi, do you know this embroidery technique?"

Yes, I will.

"Then let's each take charge of teaching two or three people."

"Okay, then I'll teach Aunt Tian and Aunt Wang."

“Okay, I’ll teach my mother, my eldest sister-in-law, and my second sister-in-law.”

Zhuang Zhimeng sat directly in front of the three of them, explaining as she threaded a needle through the fabric.

Jiang Yanxia sat in front of Aunt Tian and Aunt Wang, doing the same thing.
