Chapter 447 Sitting in the Singing Hall 4
"Aunt, you are busy. I will go find Xiangxiang and the others."
"Go ahead, don't worry about me."
"I want to go, too."
"I won't take you, little rascal."
"Oh wow, I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a bad guy."
Xu Chaoqun grabbed Yi Ke's clothes, looked up at Yi Ke, and cried loudly, as if he would cry until the end of time if Yi Ke didn't change his mind.
"Oh, don't cry. We Chaoqun are not bad guys. It's my sister who says my little brother is the bad guy."
"My brother is not a bad guy." With tears still hanging on his eyelashes, Xu Chaoqun grabbed Yi Ke's clothes and refused to let go.
"Okay, little brother, you're not a bad guy. There are no bad guys here." Yi Ke had to compromise and coaxed him with kind words.
"Sister is not a bad person, sister is a good person, sister will take Chaoqun to see sister Xiangxiang."
"Okay, sister will take you there. I really admire you." Yike had no choice but to bend down and pick him up to go find Xiangxiang together.
"There is no class today, so her sisters should be at home. You can go ask her sisters and you will know where Xiangxiang is." Wu Feifei reminded.
"Got it, auntie, bye!"
"Goodbye, mother! Goodbye, brother!"
"Little brat, your brother can hear you yell goodbye."
"I can hear it, of course I can hear it, my brother has ears."
"I can't hear it. Even if I have ears, I can't hear it. I have to grow up a little bit before I can hear it."
"No, my brother can hear it..."
The brother and sister walked away arguing with each other.
First, we have to find Xiangxiang and other girls to go to the singing hall tonight.
Xiangxiang’s second sister Hao Jinguo is twelve years old this year, and her third sister Hao Xueli is nine years old this year. All three sisters have golden voices. The three sisters have been taught by their grandmother to train their voices since they were young. Once they start singing, they can charm everyone. Anyway, I have been fascinated by them.
Of course, it was because Xiangxiang’s singing fascinated Yike in the beginning that Yike had the opportunity to bring them to Taoyuan Village.
"Aunt Xiangxiang, Aunt Xiangxiang." Xu Chaoqun shouted from afar.
"They haven't arrived yet. I don't have a telehearing ability, so how can I hear you?" Yike twisted Xu Chaoqun's ear.
"Sister, what is a teleacoustic ear?" Xu Chaoqun asked curiously.
"Haha, you can hear it from very far away." Yike teased him.
"Then I want to be able to hear things from a thousand miles away." Xu Chaoqun said proudly.
"Okay, we Chaoqun will be able to hear things at a distance from now on." Yi Ke said happily.
"Sister Jinguo, Sister Jinguo." Xu Chaoqun pointed to the left and shouted.
When he turned around, he saw that it was Hao Jinguo, Xiangxiang's second sister.
Hao Jinguo also heard Xu Chaoqun's voice, looked over and saw Xu Chaoqun and Yike.
"Sister Yike, brother Chaoqun." Hao Jinguo ran over happily.
"Sister Yike, when did you come back? My sister was still missing you yesterday." Hao Jinguo came in front of Yike, his eyes sparkling.
"I just came back and was about to look for your sister. Is she at home or somewhere else?" Yike touched her pigtails.
"I'm at home, embroidering a pillowcase. She said she wanted to give it to Sister Dani. She has been embroidering it for a long time. It's a pair of birds. They look very beautiful." Hao Jinguo took Xu Chaoqun's hand and walked home.
"Sister, sister, Sister Yike is here." As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, Hao Jinguo shouted loudly.
As soon as Yike stepped into the door, he saw Hao Xiangxiang coming out of the bedroom.
"Xiangxiang, I'm busy." Yike shouted.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Last time I heard that you were back, I went to your house the next day and heard that you were gone again. I didn't get to see you. Come, sit here. There is a fireplace over here. It's warm."
But at first glance, it is not a fireplace, but a fireplace made entirely of bricks.
"Your family has this skill, not bad, not bad, it's much more convenient than heating the kang."
"This is what my dad made. He knows how to cook. You can even bake things in it. Wait a minute, I'll dig two baked sweet potatoes for you."
Xiangxiang took the fire tongs, dug out a few sweet potatoes from the furnace, gently shook off the ash, put them on a plate and placed them on the table.
"Yike, help yourself and eat as much as you want. Do you want me to bring you a bowl to serve it in?"
"No, I'll eat it with my hands. It's so beautifully baked."
"Xiao Chaoqun, let Sister Jinguo help you peel the skin." Xiangxiang put it on a separate plate for Xu Chaoqun.
"Brother Chaoqun, let's go eat over there." Hao Jinguo took Xu Chaoqun to the other side of the fireplace.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to make it back?" Xiangxiang also sat down and talked while peeling sweet potatoes.
"Then you must hurry back. I heard you were embroidering pillowcases?"
"Jin Guo told you, this girl just talks too fast."
"Are you still trying to hide it? Mmm, it smells so good!"
"It's delicious, isn't it? Things baked in the fireplace are delicious. I embroidered this pillowcase whenever I had time. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it in time for Dani's wedding. Fortunately, I finished the last stitch this morning."
"Your eyes are red. You must have stayed up all night last night."
"Well, I have to rush out. I'm afraid I'll be busy today and won't have time. Luckily, I don't have to go to work today, so I can finish it in peace."
"Let me see it first. What are you embroidering? It actually took you a month."
"Wait, I'll get it."
Soon, Hao Xiangxiang brought over a pillowcase. "This, this is, double-sided embroidery?" Yike turned the pillowcase over and over again. Both sides were exactly the same, and a pair of mandarin ducks appeared lifelike on the cloth.
"You also know double-sided embroidery. I thought no one knew it. This is a craft passed down from my grandmother. She was afraid that the craft would be lost, so when we were young, she taught us to practice our voices and embroider."
"Your grandmother is so wise!" Yi Ke was full of admiration for the old lady who had passed away. In that turbulent era, people could not even get enough food to eat, but they still asked their granddaughters and grandsons to practice their voices; there was no cloth for clothes, but they still taught them to practice embroidery. The old man really thinks long-term about his grandchildren.
"Yes, my grandmother is a wise old woman. She said that life will be better in the future and that what we learn will be useful in the future. Even if my generation cannot use it, she wants us to pass it on, saying that it is left by our ancestors and cannot be broken."
"Yes, the old man is right. The inheritance cannot be broken. Look, it is useful now."
"I just don't know if Dani likes it?"
"Yes, I definitely like it."
"As long as you like it. I also embroidered a handkerchief for you. Do you like it?"
"Oh, it's double-sided embroidery again. It looks beautiful. So beautiful."
"I'm glad you like it. Next time I'll embroider a few more for you to change."
"Okay, thank you then. Take this handkerchief out and keep it in a safe place that will be envied by everyone."
"It's not that exaggerated."
"Really? You can't find a double-sided embroidery outside right now. So, I'll buy some silk fabrics next time, and we'll figure out what to embroider and sell it. It will definitely sell for money."
"Okay, I'll think about it then."
"Look at my memory. When I saw the double-sided embroidery, I forgot about sitting in the singing hall tonight."
