Chapter 606: Little Tang Bao was surprised
"Sister, how many embroidery pieces do you have in your embroidery workshop now?" Su Laosan suddenly asked.
Xiao Tangbao retracted his gaze from a 45-degree angle and looked at the back of his third brother.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Not many, because everyone is just starting to learn and only knows one or two simple embroidery techniques. They can't embroider amazing things. Most of them are small items like handkerchiefs, sachets, and purses. Some are well embroidered, some are just okay, and some are extremely crude."
Little Tangbao paused at this point and continued, "Auntie Gu embroidered a few small kang screens. They look extremely delicate and can particularly reflect the mysterious oriental art."
"Mysterious Oriental Art" is the original words that Su Laosan learned from overseas.
"By the way, Sister Liuzhi used double-sided embroidery to embroider several fans, which are also very artistic." Xiao Tangbao added.
It has to be said that Liuzhi does have a talent for embroidery, and under the guidance of the ancient embroiderer, she has made rapid progress.
Double-sided embroidery is very difficult to learn, but Liuzhi has now learned it quite well.
Although it is far inferior to that of ancient embroiderers, it is more exquisite than that of ordinary embroiderers.
After listening to Xiao Tangbao's words, Su Laosan said, "Good embroidery has a good price, and poor embroidery has a poor price. After all, as long as it is sold overseas, it will be sold at a satisfactory price because of its scarcity."
Xiao Tangbao agreed very much with what the third brother said.
We talked along the way and soon arrived at Baicao Village.
Su Laosan had been here once before, so he naturally went straight to Old Man Tian's house.
However, Dahong knew the way and pulled the carriage to Old Man Tian's house without Su Laosan's instructions.
Su Laosan hurriedly pulled the reins.
“Slow down, slow down…”
Su Laosan was shouting, but Dahong was too excited and didn't listen at all.
"Bitch! Go wash your clothes by the river! Who are you trying to show off your sad face to all day? You're such a jinx!"
Following a sharp shout, a disheveled woman ran out from the door of a nearby house.
The woman seemed to be being chased by someone. She ran out in a panic and almost bumped into the carriage.
Su Laosan pulled the reins hard and made Dahong stop.
The woman was startled.
Then, looking up——
His expression froze.
"Third... Third brother..." The woman's lips moved.
Su Laosan had an expressionless face. He jumped off the carriage and walked forward holding Dahong's hand.
It was as if he had not seen the woman.
Little Tangbao looked at the woman through the car window, and his eyes gradually widened.
This is—Zhang Maiya?
If it weren't for the fact that she could vaguely distinguish her by her eyebrows and eyes, Xiao Tangbao really couldn't believe that this woman with a haggard face and tattered clothes was the one who lived in their house for such a long time and finally had fair skin and looked so pitiful.
In just over half a year, I felt like I had aged by ten years.
"What are you still standing there for? Are you trying to hook up with a man again? Can't you live without a man?!" Sharp shouts came from inside the door.
Then, a woman holding a fire poker ran out from the door.
The woman had gray hair and prominent cheekbones. She looked at Zhang Maiya as if she were an enemy.
Zhang Maiya seemed to be scared by the beating and scolding from the woman. A look of fear appeared on his face, and he ran to the river with the wooden basin in his hand.
However, while running, he looked back at Su Laosan's back.
Little Tangbao looked at Old Man Su.
"Dad, do you recognize me?"
Old Man Su nodded.
He naturally recognized Zhang Maiya.
However, seeing Zhang Maila in this situation, the anger he had towards Zhang Maila in his heart had almost dissipated.
"Dad, sister, we're here." Su Laosan took Dahong by the hand and stopped at a house next door.
Xiao Tangbao looked at Su Laosan.
"Third brother, you... knew it a long time ago?" Xiao Tangbao asked hesitantly.
Su Laosan nodded calmly and picked up little Tangbao.
Yesterday, he already knew that Zhang Maila lived here.
He and Su Laosi were standing in front of the gate of Old Man Tian's house when they heard shouting and cursing from the next yard, as well as Zhang Maila's aggrieved voice.
Both Su Lao San and Su Lao Si recognized Zhang Maiya's voice.
What's more, the two of them also saw the man who went to the Su family and carried Zhang Maila away.
It was obvious that Zhang Maiya ended up following that man.
However, neither of the two brothers mentioned this matter.
After all, Zhang Maiya has nothing to do with their family now.
"Big Red!"
A surprised voice rang out.
Old man Tian came out of his house carrying a hoe and saw the big red tree in front of the door at a glance.
“Wheeze, wheeze—”
Dahong chirped happily towards Old Man Tian.
Old Man Tian threw the hoe to the ground, touched the big red head with both hands, and his eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
"Son, you still remember your father..."
“Wheeze, wheeze, wheeze—”
"Okay, dear son, Daddy is fine, I just miss you..."
Su Laosan looked at this scene in surprise.
I feel more confident that today's trip will not be in vain.
Little Tangbao smiled and interrupted the touching scene of the father and son reunion.
"Hello, uncle."
Old Man Tian lowered his head and looked at the little girl on the ground, and immediately recognized her as his benefactor.
"Why are you here, benefactor? Please come in." Old Man Tian said enthusiastically.
After saying that, he looked at Old Man Su again.
"Brother, come in quickly."
Then, his eyes turned to Su Lao San.
His expression changed.
This person was here yesterday!
"Uncle Tian." Su Lao San clasped his fists and said, "I am sorry to bother you again."
Old Man Tian looked at Old Third Su, then at Old Man Su and Little Tangbao.
"you……"
"Hahaha...this is my son." Old man Su said with a smile.
Old Man Tian, “…”
I understand it in my heart.
Even though he knew the purpose of Old Man Su and his son's visit, Old Man Tian still invited them in.
The Tian family has four main rooms with side rooms on both sides.
The windows of the main room are wide open.
The yard is also very large and clean.
Xiao Tangbao looked at the layout of the Tian family and could roughly judge that the Tian family must have had a good life in the past.
only--
Xiao Tangbao glanced at the copper lock on the main door, then followed Old Man Tian into the Tian family's wing room.
After the guests and hosts sat down, before Old Man Su and the others could explain their purpose, Old Man Tian took the initiative to speak: "Brother and benefactor, you are here for the wood carving, right?"
Since Old Man Tian had made it clear, Old Man Su naturally wouldn't beat around the bush.
"That's right, since you've guessed it, I won't hide it and tell you the truth." Old Man Su said, "I, your son, want to buy a batch of wood carvings to ship overseas. I heard that your ancestors were proficient in this craft, so I wanted to ask if you have any ready-made wood carvings or ornaments..."
After hearing what Old Man Su said, Old Man Tian smiled bitterly and said, "I think you've already inquired about my family's situation. To be honest, I've already retired from practicing martial arts, but—"
When Old Man Tian said this, he glanced at Xiao Tangbao.
Then he stood up and said, "Brother, my benefactor, please follow me."
