Fang Yuan and Gu Zhenning were also interested in embroidery. More importantly, they were worried about Song Kexia running around alone with her big belly, so they sent her to a cheongsam shop.
Grandma Wu was busy making a cheongsam. She just told them not to touch anything on the workbench and left them alone.
Song Kexia took out a piece of white cotton cloth to embroider.
Grandma Wu wanted to practice her craft, so she only let her embroider some small patterns.
Fang Yuan took out the embroidery that Song Kexia had made a few days ago. It was all flowers and trees, scattered here and there, and none of them was a complete pattern.
"You're already so good at it, why do you need to practice more?"
Without even looking up, Song Kexia said, "I'm still a long way from here. Master said practice makes perfect. There's no other way to embroider except practice.
Don’t think these embroideries look the same, but if you look closely, you’ll see that the strength and speed of the stitches are uneven, and the resulting embroidered pieces will be different.”
Song Kexia found the embroidery she had just practiced and placed it next to the embroidery she had done the day before, and the difference was clearly visible.
"Can you tell the difference?"
Fang Yuan pointed at her previous work and said, "This one is rather ugly."
“This is the embroidery I made when I first came here to learn.”
"You've made great progress, but you've been here practicing for quite some time, right? How long do you have to practice to finish?"
Song Kexia supported her waist and stood up. "I'll show you my master's craftsmanship, and you'll understand."
She took Fang Yuan and the others to Grandma Wu.
Grandma Wu moved the needle so quickly that you could hardly see the movement of her fingertips.
The pace slows down only when she changes the thread and adds layers of color.
Fang Yuan was amazed. "Grandma Wu, you are amazing. You can embroider so well without even watching."
Grandma Wu laughed and said, "That's what I do. I've been embroidering for decades, so my hands are just used to it."
“That’s pretty impressive too.”
Fang Yuan saw that the thread used on her embroidery cloth was almost the same color as the cloth, but it was embroidered with some dark patterns, which looked low-key yet luxurious.
"Grandma Wu, are you also embroidering cheongsams? They are so exquisite."
"Yes, this is a custom-made cheongsam for a customer."
"Such an exquisite cheongsam must look great on you."
Grandma Wu smiled but didn't say anything.
She is not bragging, she has been making cheongsams for decades. Although she does not have the ability to turn decay into magic, she can still make the best use of her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.
So people who come to her to customize cheongsams always say that the clothes made by her are particularly beautiful.
How can it not look good if we can highlight the good qualities of our guests?
However, young people nowadays are increasingly fond of foreign goods and think cheongsams are old-fashioned, so her business is no longer as good as it used to be.
Fang Yuan and Gu Zhenning stayed in the store for a long time before leaving. Grandma Wu told Song Kexia that she didn't need to come on the 28th day of the lunar year, and asked her to celebrate the New Year at home.
Song Kexia asked her, "Master, are you going home for the New Year too?"
Grandma Wu thought of her two sons, who had already started their own families and careers, and even her grandson was married.
Her daughter-in-law regarded her as a burden and was unwilling to let her come to their house.
"I'm an old man, so I won't cause any trouble to others. I'll just celebrate the festival here."
Song Kexia was surprised. She didn't expect that she was unwilling to leave here even during the New Year.
Thinking that she had been studying here for so long and had not seen her family come to see her, Song Kexia suddenly understood.
"Master, I'm not going back to my hometown either. Why don't you come to my house and celebrate the New Year with me?"
Grandma Wu shook her head. "I'm used to being alone and quiet, so I won't bother you."
"Master, my wife and I are the only ones at home, and it's quite lonely. Please come and spend the holiday with us."
“I’m an old woman, if I go there, I’ll disturb you.
I'd rather stay here and burn some incense for my old man on New Year's Eve."
After she said that, Song Kexia couldn't persuade her anymore and went back to continue embroidering.
In the next few days, she went to the cheongsam shop to learn.
The maternity and baby store opens until the 28th day of the lunar year and closes on the 29th day of the lunar year.
Because Zhang Chaoyang was going back from here on the 29th day of the lunar year, Song Kexia asked Li Hongshuang and the others not to buy train tickets, and to take the bus back with Zhang Chaoyang.
Song Kexia also took advantage of her free time to take Qin Muye to buy New Year's goods.
The New Year atmosphere in Hai City is very good, it looks very grand, and there are a lot of New Year goods for sale.
Zhang Chaoyang drove directly to Fengxian County, and they could ask him to help take the things they bought back.
When Song Kexia bought New Year's goods, she also bought some for her family.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Song Kexia met Zhang Chaoyang, who seemed more stable.
With him was a young man who looked very unfamiliar.
Qin Muye said that driving a truck is not only tiring because of the long journey, but also that you often encounter road bullies, that is, people who block the road and rob people, so long-distance truck drivers all carry knives with them.
Arranging two drivers not only allows them to take turns driving, but also provides someone to take care of them if they encounter highway robbery.
Song Kexia never thought that driving could be so dangerous.
It's dangerous for them to make this money.
Zhang Chaoyang saw Song Kexia and greeted her cheerfully, "Sister-in-law, long time no see."
"Long time no see, come in and sit down."
"No, we still have to catch the bus. I heard from Sixth Brother that my sister-in-law wants me to bring something back."
"I have something for you to take back."
Qin Muye took out the things, three full bags, and put them all in the car.
One bag was for the Li family, one bag was for Qin Baoguo, and one bag was for Zhou Xingjian.
