These delicious dishes are all the masterpieces of Yue Yue's hard work throughout the afternoon. She used her own hands to bring endless warmth and satisfaction to her family.
She was overjoyed to see her parents had returned safely, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She said eagerly, "Mom and Dad, the meal is ready. Go wash your hands, and then we can happily start eating."
When the parents heard this, they immediately smiled with relief and nodded in agreement. Then they quickly got up to wash their hands. It didn’t take long for them to finish washing and they came to the table full of delicious food together.
The three of them sat together, enjoying the delicious food and laughing. After a while, everyone had a round belly, like a cute little ball.
Seeing this, Yue Yue thoughtfully picked up the knife and carefully cut a plate of brightly colored and fragrant fruits, then looked at her father-in-law and mother-in-law with anticipation.
As soon as her father-in-law and mother-in-law saw her expression, they knew that this clever little girl must have something to ask them.
The two smiled at each other, lay lazily on the comfortable sofa, and ate with relish the apple that Yue Yue had carefully peeled.
The mother-in-law's eyes were full of doting, and she said gently: "My dear, if you have something to say, don't hide it. Just say it directly. Why are you so cautious?"
When Yue Yue heard this, she hurriedly moved closer to her mother-in-law, gently pinching her shoulders, her eyes full of flattery.
Then, she carefully picked up the exquisite embroidery work that her mother-in-law had placed on the coffee table and caressed it lovingly.
She exclaimed in admiration, "Mother, your embroidery is so beautiful! It's so lifelike, as if it came alive. Do you know other embroidery patterns? I really want to admire your exquisite skills again."
When my mother-in-law heard this, a hint of pride suddenly appeared on her face, as if she had regained the confidence and pride she had when she was embroidering.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes twinkling, and said, "Of course. The embroidery skills passed down from generation to generation in our family are no exaggeration. What complex patterns haven't we seen? What exquisite designs haven't we embroidered? You've come to the right person today!"
Yue Yue looked at her mother-in-law's expression and felt secretly happy, knowing that her plan was half successful.
She continued, "Mom and Dad, now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, various opportunities are emerging. Our textile factory has always had a glorious history, and this is a good opportunity to showcase our embroidery skills."
Mom, your embroidery skills are top-notch. If you take your embroidery to the competition, it will definitely impress the judges and the audience, and you might even win a big prize!
The father-in-law listened to the conversation between his daughter and wife with mixed feelings. As the person in charge of the textile factory's entry, he was well aware of the importance of this competition and was also troubled by the selection of entries.
When he heard his daughter mention entering her lover's embroidery work into the competition, he thought it was feasible and he might as well take a gamble, so he made up his mind.
The next day, my father-in-law arrived at the factory early. His steps were heavy, as if he was carrying the hopes and responsibilities of the entire textile factory on his shoulders. When he walked into the office and picked up my mother-in-law's embroidery work, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
The delicate needlework and vibrant colors seemed to tell the family's heritage and stories. He held the embroidery pieces tightly, as if holding a precious treasure.
When I arrived at the factory conference room, the leaders were already gathered. They looked at my father-in-law's embroidery work with approving expressions on their faces. The exquisite patterns were truly eye-catching, like a living painting.
However, when everyone heard that they wanted to use this embroidery as an entry, they frowned and said, "Old Yue, we all admire the craftsmanship of this embroidery, but as an entry, we still need to consider it carefully. After all, some unpleasant things happened before, and we can't repeat the same mistakes."
Other leaders also nodded in agreement. They were worried that if any problems arose, it would cause irreparable losses to the textile factory.
My father-in-law was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Dear leaders, I understand your concerns. But I believe in my choice. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility."
The leaders looked at each other, not expecting him to issue a military order. Finally, after a heated discussion, they decided to give my mother-in-law's embroidery work a chance.
In the days that followed, my mother-in-law worked overtime and created several exquisite embroidery pieces. She hadn't embroidered in a long time. Her technique was still a little unskilled, but as time went by, the memory engraved in her bones gradually awakened, and her technique gradually became perfect.
She repeatedly pondered every line and every color, striving to show her best side. Finally, the day before the competition, the embroidery was completed with the final touches. This embroidery is her most satisfying work.
