"Mom, what are you doing?" Xi Xi looked at her busy mother with a puzzled expression, then sat cross-legged on the ground without hesitation, right next to Chu Zhiqin.
However, she had barely sat down and her bottom hadn't even warmed up when Chu Zhiqin slapped her mercilessly and urged her to stand up quickly.
"Tsk, I just mopped the floor, it's not dry yet! Get up, don't get your pants dirty." Chu Zhiqin scolded, but her hands never stopped moving.
She skillfully manipulated the vines that emitted a faint glow in her hands, as if she were performing a magical spell.
Xi Xi looked in the direction Chu Zhiqin was pointing and saw a small stool not far away, so she obediently walked over and sat down.
Only then did she notice that Chu Zhiqin was weaving something with these glowing vines.
It turns out that Mom couldn't bear to put the clothes she already had in her storage chest up for sale on the event trading interface, so she planned to knit a straw hat by hand to make up the number.
The weaving process is not easy. Although the fibers of the luminescent plant are beautiful, they are extremely fragile and can break if not handled carefully.
Xi Xi knew nothing about her mother's knitting techniques and principles, and could only stare at her with wide eyes and curiosity.
She listened patiently as her mother recounted her story, while Chu Zhiqin busied herself with her work and recounted her childhood memories of being engrossed in weaving in the countryside.
Chu Zhiqin soaked each rattan in hot water. It is said that after soaking in hot water, the rattan, once taken out and dried, undergoes a miraculous change in its originally hard texture.
This traditional remedy will make the rattan soft and resilient.
Even so, Chu Zhiqin dared not slack off in the slightest. With her years of weaving experience, she patiently adjusted the position and tension of each fiber to ensure that the straw hat was both beautiful and sturdy.
Moreover, to make this straw hat even more unique, Chu Zhiqin ingeniously incorporated exquisitely luminous lily-of-the-valley flowers into it.
These delicate flowers emit a soft and charming glow, complementing the brim of the hat and adding a lot of beauty to the monotonous fibers.
And so, a long afternoon quietly passed. The car interior lights came on, illuminating Chu Zhiqin's focused figure as she knitted.
Finally, after countless adjustments and modifications, an exquisite glowing straw hat appeared before Xi Xi's eyes.
Xi Xi could no longer contain her excitement, and she eagerly picked up the straw hat and put it on her head.
The light emanating from the straw hat was like a warm ray of sunshine gently caressing her cheeks, the light reflecting off her face, making her vision bright and warm.
"What a pity..." Xi Xi sighed with regret, touching the glowing straw hat with affection. "It's a pity that once this glowing plant is picked, the light will quickly dissipate."
"I guess it'll only last two or three days," Chu Zhiqin said nonchalantly, dusting off her hands. "Whatever, it's just to make up the numbers anyway. Now I've participated in the activity, right?"
Xi Xi nodded, and then Chu Zhiqin uploaded the glowing straw hat to the event page.
As the last confirmation button was pressed, Chu Zhiqin breathed a long sigh of relief, finally feeling the weight lifted from her heart.
She slowly stood up, stretched out her arms, and gave a relaxed, big yawn.
Having resolved this major concern, Chu Zhiqin began to ponder what to eat that evening. After all, it was New Year's Eve, and she couldn't afford to be too stingy.
However, just as she was deep in thought, suddenly, the previously quiet light screen started crackling and popping like firecrackers.
"What... what's going on?!" Chu Zhiqin exclaimed in astonishment. She quickly reached out and tapped the light screen. In an instant, a flood of bidding information surged out, filling the entire screen.

"Holy crap, I'll fight you rich people to the death!!"
"Come join the fun at the !! Someone's selling fluorescent hats!!"
"It's so beautiful, but I don't have any money..."
"I approve of the weaving technique, but isn't the price way too high?"
"This is a light-up hat! It's not only beautiful but also practical!"
"However, it says on it that it can only glow for three days."
"Three days is not a short time!"
"Wow, the price of Glorious Lollipops has skyrocketed these days! This straw hat is much cheaper than that lousy candy, so it's a pretty good alternative!"
"After reading the description, I found that its luminous range is no less than that of the Radiant Lollipop. It's really not bad."
"Stop hyping it up, stop hyping it up! If this keeps going, it'll become a luxury hat..."
Am I the only one who's still using a flashlight?
"My flashlight is out of power and I can't even get the batteries back. Rechargeable flashlights are too energy-consuming. I might as well just buy a Glowing Lollipop..."
"The main thing is that the Glowing Lollipop has a large illumination range, much better than a flashlight!"
"I'm not buying it, I'll just use a flashlight."
"Don't even mention it, poor people are still using candles..."
"Hey! Look, they said that after the glowing time of this hat expires, you can take it apart and eat it??"
"Edible vines?"
"How could you bear to take off such a beautiful hat?"
