Gu Lili quickly took out the fabric, and the person in the corner also turned around to continue feeding Zhuifeng.
"Huanhuan, Yue'er, in a little while you two measure Chenxi's height and make her a dress!" Gu Lili smiled as she handed the fabric to Gu Huanhuan.
The fabric is pink, which suits Gu Chenxi's age quite well.
Gu Huanhuan took the fabric from her hand and then took out a handkerchief from the sewing kit and handed it over.
"Sister, look, this is my new handkerchief. Can you take a look and see what you think?" Gu Huanhuan asked expectantly.
This is double-sided embroidery that Gu Lili taught her before, and she has been practicing it for a long time.
To save fabric, Gu Huanhuan would practice with only one piece of fabric each time, and if she wasn't satisfied, she would take it apart and start embroidering again.
Gu Huanhuan knew that their family was wealthy now, but they also knew how to be frugal.
This new fabric was embroidered by Gu Huanhuan after she was satisfied with the original piece, so she got a new one.
Gu Lili picked up the fabric from Gu Huanhuan's hand and examined it closely, her brows furrowed with delight.
She knew that Gu Huanhuan was very talented in embroidery, but she didn't expect that in just over two months, she would be able to learn what Gu Lili had taught her.
The lotus flowers on the handkerchief are so lifelike, they seem to exude a faint lotus fragrance.
Moreover, Gu Huanhuan has her own insights, and she even adds a touch of cunning to her online persona.
Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, it shone even brighter.
Gu Lili praised without reservation, "Huanhuan, your embroidery is truly beautiful! Tomorrow when I go to Donghai Town, I'll take this embroidered handkerchief to the embroidery shop for you and ask how much it can sell for!"
Gu Lili had originally planned to help Gu Huanhuan open an embroidery workshop in a few years. Judging from Gu Huanhuan's progress, it would probably be ready in another year or two.
When Gu Huanhuan heard what Gu Lili said, her eyes were full of anticipation.
If she takes this to an embroidery shop and sells it, wouldn't that prove she's someone who can make money?
"Sister, I will work even harder! I will also teach Yue'er well!" Gu Huanhuan happily promised.
Upon hearing Gu Huanhuan's words, Zheng Yue nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely learn from Gu Huanhuan.
As the sun set, the silvery laughter of three girls drifted out from the courtyard, prompting the boy standing by the cowshed to laugh along as well.
The next day, Gu Lili had just gotten up when she saw Gu Chenxi sweeping the yard.
Seeing Gu Lili get up, Gu Chenxi quickly went to the kitchen and brought out the boiled water for Gu Lili to wash up.
Gu Lili was a little unaccustomed to being served like this, but if she refused Gu Chenxi, she would feel at a loss.
Never mind, let's leave it at that.
Anyway, Gu Lili bought her back so that she could help with chores.
As long as she doesn't kneel down at the drop of a hat, let her do whatever she wants.
The yard had already been swept clean by Gu Chenxi, and the cows and horses were already grazing on the grass.
Even the chickens and ducks in the coop are eating wild vegetables.
I don't know how early Gu Chenxi got up, but she did so much work so early in the morning.
After washing up, Gu Lili went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.
Unexpectedly, when I lifted the lid, there was already a large pot of porridge inside, and a pot of mixed grain cakes was warming in the pot next to it.
Gu Lili smiled helplessly. It seemed that Gu Chenxi would be replacing her as the head chef from now on.
Gu Lili was about to cook a dish to go with rice when she opened the cupboard and found that Gu Chenxi had already prepared it.
It's a plate of cold chives salad, which goes very well with rice.
Well, there's absolutely no use for Gu Lili anymore.
"Chenxi, you don't need to get up so early anymore," Gu Lili said as she walked up to Gu Chenxi, who was preparing to chop firewood.
Gu Lili took the wood-chopping knife from Gu Chenxi's hand and said, "Let's rest for a bit. These things can be done slowly!"
This makes Gu Lili seem like a landlord who directs the exploitation of peasants.
"Girl, I'm not tired. I get up this early at home too!" Gu Chenxi said nonchalantly.
Gu Chenxi wasn't lying. Back when she was at home, she had to get up before dawn to start working.
If Wu Laosi doesn't get breakfast when he gets up, he will beat and scold her.
After finishing her chores at home, Gu Chenxi would go out to do laundry work for others.
Summer is okay, but in winter, my hands are covered in chilblains.
However, she dared not stop at all. If she didn't earn any money, she would be beaten by Wu Laosi again when she got home.
For her now, life at Gu Lili's house is simply paradise.
Not only did they give her meat to eat, but they also let her sleep in such a soft bed. She was smiling in her dreams last night.
Therefore, she was willing to do any amount of work.
Gu Lili said firmly, "You're in my house now, so just listen to me. We're not in a hurry to use the firewood. You've been busy all morning, so take a break."
As he spoke, he pulled Gu Chenxi aside.
The main reason was that Gu Chenxi was too thin, and Gu Lili felt a little sorry for her.
As Gu Lili spoke, she handed a box of hand oil to Gu Chenxi.
Gu Chenxi's hands were rough and calloused from years of hard labor.
My hands are covered in calluses, and in some places they're even cracked. I feel like if I apply even a little pressure, blood will seep out.
"Put this on your hands. Look at your hands, they're all cracked like this," Gu Lili said.
This hand cream is excellent; she also gave it to Old Mrs. Li.
Previously, Mrs. Li's hands were very rough, but since applying this hand oil, they have become much better.
Gu Chenxi looked down at her hands, smiled a little embarrassedly, and took the hand cream.
"Thank you, young lady!" Gu Chenxi said gratefully.
The family members gradually got up, and after breakfast, Gu Lili took Gu Yun Chu and Zhang Da Hua to Donghai Town again.
Baiweixuan Restaurant is opening tomorrow, so we need to prepare the necessary dishes.
That way, things won't fall apart tomorrow.
The others should either plant trees or go to school.
After a busy morning, having prepared everything needed, Gu Lili prepared to take the three of them home.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Master Li walking towards Baiweixuan.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Master Li stepped forward and bowed.
Seeing that Master Li was walking straight towards Gu Lili, he must have something to discuss with her.
Gu Lili asked bluntly, "Master Li, what is it this time?"
Looking at Master Li's beaming face, one wonders what good thing has happened to him.
Master Li glanced at Baiweixuan behind him and asked with a meaningful smile, "I wonder when the village head's restaurant will open? It just so happens that the magistrate and I will also come and join in the fun!"
With the county magistrate visiting, it's a good opportunity to promote Baiweiyuan.
