After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Wang Wugang spoke very quietly behind him, and Yan Qingqing left without hearing what he was saying.

When going home, Yan Qingqing passed by the embroidery workshop and went in to take a look. Nowadays, these embroiderers basically learn half-day embroidery and do half-day work.

When Li Yueniang saw Yan Qingqing coming, she quickly put down her work and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "I went into the mountain to see your third brother. I stopped by here to see how the embroidery workshop is doing recently. Is there anything I can't cope with?"

Li Yueniang smiled and said, "It's all okay. A few people have learned double-sided embroidery, and grandma took the time to teach them some other stitches."

Yan Qingqing nodded when he heard this and said: "This is the best, but don't burden your grandma, she is getting old after all."

Old Mrs. Yan has returned to Yanjia Village these days because she has something to do at home.

Li Yueniang nodded quickly when she heard this and said: "Mom, don't worry, my sister and I have a sense of propriety and won't burden grandma, but..."

Yan Qingqing looked at Li Yueniang's hesitant expression and said, "But what? Is there anything else that I can't say to my mother?"

There is definitely nothing that cannot be said to Yan Qingqing, but isn't Li Yueniang afraid of tiring her mother? After all, Yan Qingqing is usually quite busy.

When Li Yueniang saw Yan Qingqing's questioning, she still spoke slowly: "It's just that these embroiderers lack some flexibility. Although they studied what grandma taught them very seriously, I remember that my mother said that she wanted to train a few people who can do design. , so far my daughter has not found anyone with this talent.”

Yan Qingqing laughed immediately after hearing this. It turned out that this was what Li Yueniang was worried about. Real design is not that easy to do. In addition to talent, you also need inspiration.

But inspiration comes from there, inspiration comes from life. These people stay in the embroidery workshop every day to learn embroidery and work. If they don't carefully observe the things around them, they will naturally have no inspiration.

So Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "If that's the case, Yueniang doesn't have to worry. Designing is not something that happens overnight. Yueniang can guide them in this aspect and let them observe more of the surrounding things. If they have any new ideas, they can record them at any time."

If your idea is adopted, reward it. "

Li Yueniang felt that what Yan Qingqing said was very reasonable. Not only these embroiderers, but also she herself should pay more attention to this aspect, so that her mother would have less to worry about.

Yan Qingqing has always known that this daughter is very ambitious and independent, but she is too young.

Yan Qingqing thought of this and said: "Let's go, take mother to see those embroiderers, mother will give you some new products by the way."

Li Yueniang immediately beamed when she heard this. She had long thought about releasing a new product, but she didn't have the strength herself. Yan Qingqing had a lot of things going on recently and it was hard for her to trouble her mother anymore.

Li Yueniang took Yan Qingqing to the place where the embroiderer was working. They were all busy making headdresses for Jinsheng Pavilion. When they saw Yan Qingqing coming, they put down their work and greeted Yan Qingqing warmly.

Although Yan Qingqing rarely comes to the embroidery workshop, and Yuan Huiniang and the other three are usually in charge of the management, they all know that Yan Qingqing is the real master of the embroidery workshop.

Most of these embroiderers are from Canghe Village and neighboring villages, and they can basically have some connections. Yan Qingqing heard them calling aunt and aunt enthusiastically, and some even called grandma.

She just felt numb inside because she was used to hearing these names.

After Yan Qingqing finished greeting them, she said: "I know that everyone works very hard in the embroidery workshop, so I hope that you will be relaxed and relaxed about your work, not too tired, and not only have a job, but also a life."

As soon as Yan Qingqing finished speaking, a clear voice spoke: "Second Grandma, we are not tired. We are talking and laughing while working here. In addition to learning the craft, we also get paid. It is more than what my father earned before."

Yan Qingqing saw that the girl talking was called Li Xingniang, and she was Li Datou's daughter. Li Datou and his wife are relatively friendly people in the village, and they treat their children well.

Li Xingniang's life at home was not bad before. When she had nothing to do, she just fed the chickens and dug wild vegetables. So when Yan Qingqing's embroidery workshop was looking for embroiderers, she was chosen.

Only after arriving at the embroidery workshop did Li Xingniang know what a comfortable life is. The work here is not heavy, but it is a bit hard on the eyes. However, the embroidery workshop will let them take a break every hour of work, and the wind and sun will not blow. What's more important is that I still have three hundred wages to earn every month.

She is living a comfortable life now. After getting paid, she only needs to hand over [-] yuan to her mother, and she can save the rest to save her dowry.

The key is that after Li Xingniang said it, the others all looked in agreement. Yan Qingqing saw their faces were speechless, and she hadn't said the next words yet.

Although they are satisfied with their current life, it does not prevent Yan Qingqing from painting a pie for them.

So he coughed and said: "The fact that you are favored by your family now means that you can make money. If you can make more money, your status in the family will be higher."

This is for sure, if they had half the ability of Yan Qingqing, they could walk sideways at home.

Upon seeing this, Yan Qingqing continued: "I just asked you to be relaxed about your work and combine work with rest for a purpose. They say that art comes from life, and you only need to be good at observation to embroider better works.

To be honest, there are many embroiderers, and there are a lot of them who can embroider, but not many who can design. Think about it, you are just making headdresses based on what others have done. This is something that every embroiderer can do.

Even if I give you a drawing, you may not be able to understand it, let alone design it.

So you usually have to move closer to this aspect. Of course, the wages you get for designing are very different from the wages you get now.

Designing doesn’t happen overnight, so you should pay more attention to observation and come to me if you have any good ideas. Once the suggestion is adopted, a one-time reward of ten taels of silver will be given. "

After Yan Qingqing finished speaking, he heard a sound of gasping. Ten taels of silver, that's what they took several years to earn.

Then every thought began to come alive.

Seeing this, Yan Qingqing threw cold water and said: "Design still requires talent. Some people may not be able to design a work that is recognized by the public in their lifetime. If you waste your existing work because you want to make a lot of money, I will We won’t use you here either.”

Yan Qingqing's words made them calm down successfully. Yes, don't make a lot of money by then. If they lose their current job, it will really be more than worth the loss.

But didn't Yan Qingqing just say that art comes from life, so they just need to observe more.

What Yan Qingqing wants is this kind of effect. It is enough to plant a seed in their hearts. Besides, not everyone can be a designer.
