"No." Gu Changqing said.
Qiu Lanying said angrily, "If you don't know how to do it, just be honest."
Gu Changqing laughed and said, "If I really go in, you can pull me out."
"You bastard." Qiu Lanying laughed angrily, "I can't control you anyway, but you better be careful. Also, your uncle went to the Northeast for serious business, don't cause him any trouble. Just go get some ginseng or something and bring it back to honor your mother. Don't think about making money, we will make the money. Just come back and marry a wife and give me a beautiful granddaughter."
When Gu Changqing heard this, he wanted to run away. "Let's talk about it later." After saying that, he ran to his room.
In the main room, Qiu Lanying sat on the kang and wondered what had happened at the educated youth center. She thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure it out. However, seeing her son's smug look, she always felt that this matter was related to the daughter-in-law she had her eyes on.
Qiu Lanying couldn't sit still anymore, so she went to the kitchen, opened the cabinet, took out a small bag of brown sugar, put it in her pocket and went out.
Bai Ruozhen had a good sleep in the afternoon. After getting up, she followed Li Aihong to do needlework in the house, which was nothing more than mending. Bai Ruozhen had nothing to sew, so she sat aside and watched, gesturing with her hands from time to time.
Li Aihong was amused by her actions, "You don't know how to sew? You can't even make clothes or shoes?"
Bai Ruozhen shook his head embarrassedly, "No."
It's not just needlework that she can't do. There are so many things she can't do. No, you should ask her what she can do. She will definitely say, "I only know how to eat."
It's a pity that eating is useless, because in that era, supplies were scarce and it was difficult to fill your stomach, let alone eat well.
Bai Ruozhen sighed, "Sister Aihong, I'm very stupid."
Li Aihong was threading the needle and sewing the insoles. Upon hearing this, she glanced at her and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll teach you."
Zhu Guixia and others on the side also laughed.
Among all the girls in the room, Bai Ruozhen was the only one who couldn't make insoles or clothes. Bai Ruozhen was clumsy in her previous life, and she wasn't much better in this life. However, the thick skin she acquired in her previous life came in handy here, and she just watched obediently from the side.
Suddenly Bai Ruozhen felt that making insoles was not difficult at all. Isn't it just applying starch to make the insoles and then sewing them together stitch by stitch? It's quite simple.
Seeing her eagerness to try, Li Aihong said, "Let me give it to you?"
Bai Ruozhen's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"
Her eyes were bright and cute, making Li Aihong laugh. "Of course." Even if one is not good at sewing, one should be able to do such a simple thing as making insoles.
"Sister Aihong, I will sew it well." Bai Ruozhen was full of confidence. She thought that she could do a good job by changing the shell.
So Bai Ruozhen took the needle and thread and insoles from Li Aihong's hand with great anticipation without even looking through the original owner's memories.
The insoles made at this time are actually quite simple, without any words or flowers or grass, just densely sewn with threads. Although not very beautiful, they are durable.
Bai Ruozhen carefully took the needle and thread, and was about to poke upwards, but Li Aihong stopped her, "Zhenzhen, why are you holding the needle and thread with your left hand?"
"Huh?" Bai Ruozhen was embarrassed. "I always use my left hand."
Zhu Guixia on the side burst out laughing, "Sister Aihong, Zhenzhen is left-handed."
The others in the room also laughed. Bai Ruozhen scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I've been like this since I was a kid."
"Quick, hold the needle with two fingers. Oh, don't push too hard." Li Aihong watched her two slender white fingers pinching the needle and piercing the cloth. She was terrified and felt uncomfortable no matter how she watched. "Push harder. Ah, it's bleeding."
With Li Aihong's soft cry, a drop of blood appeared on the tip of Bai Ruozhen's left middle finger.
Bai Ruozhen grinned and said, "It's okay, try again." Her mother had taken great pains to help her learn needlework and even invited an embroiderer from Jiangnan to teach her. However, she had a hard time learning and within a day, her fingers were covered with bloody holes.
Before her mother got married, she had a pair of skillful hands that were unmatched by any woman in the world. However, her daughter had clumsy hands. Not to mention embroidery, even making a simple pair of socks would prick her fingers until they were bloody. If she could do it at such a cost, it would be considered an achievement. The annoying thing was that even though her fingers were full of holes, she still couldn't make a pair of neat socks.
In the end, her mother finally gave up and turned to teaching Xiaoli. Xiaoli also worked hard. She was very good at embroidering, making clothes, and reading and writing. So when she married into the palace, her mother asked Xiaoli to stay with her all the time.
Alas, what she didn't expect was that after traveling through time, she still couldn't sew and pierced her hand with just one stitch.
It's really embarrassing.
