Qiuhua received twelve dollars.
The old master was very pleased with Qiuhua's embroidery and without hesitation gave her twelve yuan. She had never expected the young woman in front of her to be so skillful and beautiful in her embroidery. She had only been able to embroider flat stitch for the previous piece, but had already mastered free-stitch for this one.
"Little girl, you are a piece of raw material. Do you want to learn embroidery seriously?" Master Qian looked at her with a smile.
"Yes, do I want to learn from you?"
Master Qian smiled and shook his head, "Hahaha, I'm an old guy, and my skills are not that good. If you really want to learn, I will take you to my mother's hometown in Tahe to become my master, and you can learn double-sided embroidery well."
"Double-sided embroidery?" Qiuhua had heard the term for the first time and asked curiously, "Master Qian, what is double-sided embroidery? Does it mean embroidering on both sides?"
"Haha, there are still many things you haven't seen, little ladyfish. It's Chinese New Year soon, so you should discuss it with your family. If you really want to learn, I'll take you there."
"Okay! Thank you, Master Qian!"
Master Qian really likes this little girl. Although she is young, she speaks and acts much more steadily than people of the same age. She is hardworking and has a talent for embroidery. Master Qian is very willing to help her.
After coming out of Master Qian's house, Qiuhua was so happy with the twelve yuan in her hand. She suggested that she and Dahua go to the steamed bun shop to buy some snacks.
The cage in the store has not been opened yet, and Qiuhua and Dahai are waiting patiently at the door.
"Brother, how about we buy two stuffed ones today to try? I'll buy the ones with green vegetables, they're sure to be delicious!"
Qiuhua looked at the steamers stacked high. Wisps of white smoke were rising from the top of the highest steamer. The vegetable buns she had been longing for were slowly growing inside!
"This is the money you earned, you have the final say!" Dahua was very proud of Qiuhua. He didn't expect that his sister had such dexterous hands and earned twelve yuan in one go.
"Okay, Boss. We want two vegetable buns and five white steamed buns."
Dahua accompanied Qiuhua to deliver the embroidery, but he actually had selfish motives. He thought he might meet Zhao Xiaojuan.
As a result, he really met Zhao Xiaojuan.
Just as they were waiting patiently at the door of the store for the buns to come out of the steamer, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Boss, give me ten white steamed buns and three pork buns."
Dahua turned around in surprise and met Zhao Xiaojuan, who also looked surprised.
Zhao Xiaojuan was still the same. Although she was not pretty, her maturity and graceful temperament made her look very radiant. Dahua wanted to speak to her, but after a brief moment of surprise and embarrassment, she immediately put on an expression as if she didn't know Dahua. He hesitated.
At this time, the buns were ready. The boss opened the steamer, and a burst of hot air rushed out, and the aroma of the buns overflowed. Qiuhua swallowed his saliva and did not notice that there was anything wrong with Dahua next to him.
"Brother, take it."
Qiuhua handed him the vegetable bag. He took it silently and suddenly stretched out his hand, wanting to give it to Zhao Xiaojuan as if offering a treasure.
"Vegetable buns, do you want some?"
Zhao Xiaojuan didn't take it, but she couldn't pretend not to know him anymore. She just shook her head expressionlessly and said, "I don't want to eat it. I'll buy it myself."
And the ones I bought are better than yours!
Dahua awkwardly withdrew his hand. Knowing he was in the wrong, he had to smile and say, "I didn't expect to run into you here. Last time..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Xiaojuan took the buns and left without giving him a chance to explain, leaving him standing there at a loss.
"Hey, brother, what are you standing there for? Go chase him!"
Qiuhua finally understood that the little girl just now was Zhao Xiaojuan, but her elder brother was really too honest. They had met and talked, and everyone had left, but he was still standing there. Isn't this frustrating?
After Qiuhua's reminder, Dahua finally reacted. He threw the bun to Qiuhua and hurriedly chased after him.
Zhao Xiaojuan walked with big steps and soon she was far away. Dahua simply broke into a jog, but the closer she got, the faster she walked. It was clear that she didn't want to talk to Liang Dahua. He knew Zhao Xiaojuan was angry with him. He was wrong in the first place and deserved this anger.
"Don't leave so quickly. Listen to me. I had something to do that day. It's not that I didn't want to come, I really had something to do. I really wanted to come. I've been thinking about coming since morning."
Dahua spoke while jogging, out of breath.
"You want to?!" Zhao Xiaojuan suddenly braked and turned around. Dahua almost bumped into her without paying attention. Her face flushed, she gasped, and said angrily:
"You, Liang Dahua, are a big shot. You have important things to do, so naturally you don't have time to watch a movie. So just go and do your thing. Don't chase me around and talk. I have things to do!"
She turned around and was about to leave again, but Dahua was anxious and quickly passed her and stood in front of her.
"Really? It's a big deal! Two people from a family close to ours died in one day. I can't not go!"
Dahua finally revealed the key point. Zhao Xiaojuan was stunned at first, then asked doubtfully, "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's true. In our village, at the Xu family, their child fell into the pond, and their mother-in-law drank pesticide. We have a good relationship with the Liang family, and we're on the same team, so how could I not help them?"
"I heard about this from others..." Zhao Xiaojuan's anger subsided a little, but she still felt uncomfortable. Although the two of them were not engaged or dating, they had that intention towards each other that day and made an appointment to see a movie. It would have been fine if he had something to do and didn't come, but she was really angry that he didn't come to explain to her after such a long time.
"You weren't sincere. Since you couldn't come, you didn't come to talk to me later."
She walked around Dahua and continued to move forward. Dahua became anxious and shouted at her:
"I didn't go that day. I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep, but the next day I was scared again. I didn't dare go to your house to look for you. It was all my fault for being too cowardly. If you are willing, I will go home to my mother and ask the matchmaker to come to your door to propose marriage. You can come to my house to look at the beams!"
Dahua blurted out everything at once, shocking Qiuhua who had rushed over. Although she always thought that her brother was cowardly, today he was a bit too reckless. The couple hadn't even started yet, and she was still angry, so why was he suddenly talking about engagement? Now, not only would she be angry, but she would also be scared away.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaojuan stopped when she heard this, turned around slowly, the anger on her face disappeared, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"How dare you?"
Dahua nodded vigorously and said, "I dare. I really dare this time! I'll go home and tell my mother now!" Then he was about to go back.
"Wait a minute! Come back!" Zhao Xiaojuan called out to him, "Why are you in such a hurry? As long as you dare, it's fine. This matter can't be rushed."
Seeing that the matter was over, Dahai laughed happily, and Qiuhua was also very happy.
"Is this your sister?" She looked at Qiuhua with a smile. Qiuhua nodded vigorously and said, "Sister, my name is Qiuhua."
"It's much better than your brother's name."
