Qiu Yuling touched the bag given by her grandmother over and over again, and couldn't let it go. The stitching was tight and delicate, and every stitch and thread looked so exquisite.
The flower patterns made up of scraps of cloth are even more amazing. They are arranged in a gradient from light to dark, and they are as lifelike and gorgeous as the real ones.
This is simply a work of art!
Seeing Qiu Yuling like it, the old lady was also very satisfied. Her skinny hand lovingly took Qiu Yuling's frizzy hair and gently tucked it behind her head. She asked with a smile: "Do you like it, Lingwa?"
"I like it, I like it, I like it so much, Grandma, you are so amazing!"
For the first time, Qiu Yuling hated herself for being at a loss for words and unable to express even one tenth of the old man's skill.
Qiu Yuling was reluctant to push it back. She had never owned such an ingenious and exquisite handicraft in her past life or present life. Of course, she was reluctant to carry it back with her. She put it away with a look of cherishment on her face.
"Grandma, I want to keep it. With your craftsmanship, this bag will be worth a lot of money when I grow up."
The old man was amused by her "childish talk" and just thought it was praise from a little kid.
Little did people know that if this craft were brought to modern times, it would definitely be at the master level, and would be valuable.
The grandmother and grandson were chatting in the house when the door curtain was lifted up. That's right, Grandma Yuling also used saxaul pits to make the door curtain. Thinner hemp ropes were passed through the middle of the flat saxaul pits, and long strings were nailed to long wooden strips. The curtain with wooden strips was then hung on the door head.
Qiu Yuling had already sighed in her heart countless times, how much effort this must have taken, the saxaul kernels were so small, thinner than the nail of the little finger, and they had to be threaded one by one by hand, which showed that her grandma was a person who understood life.
I saw a big man coming in against the light. Before he even arrived, his voice came in first, "Old Four said Lingling is here."
Then a female voice came from behind, "Lingling, are you here alone? Well, we have guests today, let's eat something dry."
Qiu Yuling was a little overwhelmed and wanted to stand up, but her grandmother held her legs and said, "It's okay. Ling is sitting down. It's your uncle and aunt. Ling has walked such a long way by herself. She needs to rest before getting out of bed."
Qiu Yuling is not a real child, and she didn't have a very deep impression of her uncle's family before. It is probably because she is in poor health and busy at home, so her mother Qiu never took her to visit relatives and she rarely saw them.
It was like meeting her for the first time, so how could I not know the etiquette? I took my grandma's hand, shook it, and said proudly, "Grandma, I've rested enough. I can walk farther than this!"
"The last time Sanwa came, I heard Lingling say that she had grown up. Now she has grown so big that I can hardly recognize her." The eldest aunt had already walked in front of the eldest uncle and saw Qiu Yuling standing on the ground. She gestured at the top of her head and there was a hint of surprise in her words.
My uncle also agreed and said that it has grown.
Qiu Yuling pursed her lips and smiled. Suddenly, her aunt burst out laughing. "Oh, I was saying that little Miss Lingling had grown shy. It turns out she's lost her teeth. Let me see how many teeth she has lost."
Just say why Qiu Yuling doesn't like to smile, it's all because of these two gap-toothed guys. It was originally supposed to be a polite social gesture, but it was brought up again, and she was forced to open her mouth and show it to everyone.
Just, so tired!
"Stop teasing the kid. Lingwa brought two rabbits when she came. The fourth child has already peeled them. The eldest child will cook one for lunch, and the eldest child will smoke the other one." Yuling's grandmother kicked her little feet and slapped her uncle's hand away in annoyance, urging the couple to cook.
When my aunt heard about rabbits, her eyes lit up. "There are rabbits too, sister. What era are you in now? You dare to let a little kid bring a rabbit here? Aren't you afraid of bringing trouble to the kid?"
Having said that, he rushed out without waiting for Qiu Yuling to explain. Qiu Yuling originally wanted to say that he was caught on the road and Qiu's mother was unaware of it.
I only heard her uncle say: "It's okay, let your fourth uncle take you back this afternoon. When you go back, take that one back and eat it yourself."
"Uncle, you don't need to bring it back. There's food at home. Leave it for you and my grandma to eat together. There's no need for Fourth Uncle to send me off. I've always walked to and from school by myself, and so have my classmates."
"Come on, uncle will build you a swing. The meal is not ready yet, so play for a while first."
Having said that, she took Qiu Yuling's hand and walked towards the backyard without giving her a chance to refuse. Qiu Yuling had been there for quite some time and had been rested on the kang by her grandmother. She had not noticed that there was such a big saxaul tree in the backyard. However, due to the continuous drought, the tree looked a little withered.
The uncle's swing was very simple, with a long rope as thick as a child's wrist tied to a thick horizontal branch. Just as Qiu Yuling was dumbfounded, the uncle picked up Qiu Yuling and put her on the rope.
"Sit tight." As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Yuling was pushed up by a strong force. Because it was unexpected, Qiu Yuling screamed in surprise.
Her eldest uncle asked from behind: "Are you scared?"
"No, I'm not afraid." Qiu Yuling bit her lip and suppressed the rest of her screams. She was afraid that the branch could not bear her.
"It's swinging too low, let me do it." Qiu Yuling didn't turn her head, but she had already recognized that it was the voice of her fourth uncle.
Immediately afterwards, she was pushed up from behind by a greater force. If she had not heard the sound and been prepared, she might have been pushed to the ground.
Fourth uncle pushed very hard, and the swing swung higher and higher. Qiu Yuling felt her heart jump to her throat, and an indescribable joy came along with the long-lost excitement.
"Little girl, you're still holding the swing without making a sound. Let me show you something even more powerful." Her fourth uncle said as he once again took the swing and ran out. Qiu Yuling felt that the swing was almost level with the branch it was tied to.
