Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

In order to finish her embroidery work within the stipulated time, Jiaojiao did not hesitate to live apart from her sister, so naturally she must hurry up.

As soon as Gu Ci left, she followed Sanmei into the house.

The second uncle's family has three daughters and one son, and the three daughters all sleep in the same room. This room is big, not only has a big bed, but also a kang.The kang was on the side by the window, which was prepared for the convenience of Sanmei's embroidery on weekdays.

Jiaojiao stayed in this room the last time she came here, and she didn't recognize her identity. When she entered the room, she took out her cloth bag and took out a sachet from it.The fabric of the sachet is thicker, not as wrinkled as a thin handkerchief, and can be embroidered with a little stroke.

"Sister Jiaojiao, sit here, there is a backrest here, and you won't get tired after sitting for a long time." Sanmei also felt itchy when she saw her impatient, turned the embroidery basket out, and let Jiaojiao Go and sit where she usually sits.

Jiaojiao is a lazy person, depending on how comfortable she is, she unceremoniously took off her shoes and climbed up to the side with the padded back. She leaned on it and felt very comfortable, "This thing is good, I will make it for myself next time." one."

"My eldest sister sewed it with old cotton." Sanmei pursed her lips and smiled when she saw that she liked it. She liked this younger sister very much and envied her. With big bright eyes, she feels attracted unconsciously.

Her mother is timid and cowardly, she has been married for four years and has nothing to do. She finally had three daughters, and she was somewhat disliked by her grandmother. Even though her grandfather and her father never treated their sisters harshly, her mother herself I feel that I can't hold my head up. How can a mother who can't hold her head up to be a man teach a daughter who is full of temperament?

Therefore, when the three sisters were at home, they never dared to speak loudly. When they did things, they did things quietly, and when they ate, they ate quietly.

However, this younger sister is different. She felt different at the first sight. Even though the little girl looked very reserved when she first came to her house, the light in her eyes never changed.

She couldn't be happier that the little girl liked her things, and she didn't feel at all that the other party was taking her things away.Seeing that the little girl was still looking around with the cushion back, Sanmei felt a little nervous, "If sister Jiaojiao likes it, you can take it back with you."

"If my sister finds out, I'll probably have to reprimand me again." Jiaojiao quickly shook her head, seeing that Sanmei brought her own embroidery basket, she went over to her again, and took one of her semi-finished products from it. Pazi frowned after taking a good look, "Sister Sanmei's embroidery work is not as good as it used to be."

Sanmei frowned slightly, but she wasn't surprised by her words. Ever since Hua told her Jiaojiao's comments on her embroidery last time, she had been thinking about how to make her embroidery look similar. The Yuexiu appointment was not as smooth as before.

Since she came here under the banner of giving advice to Sanmei, Jiaojiao would not be lazy, so she took scissors and a needlework brush to dismantle the two lotus flowers she had just embroidered.

"It's cold and your fingers tend to be stiff, and you may be a little unstable when you stitch, so you must let your fingers soften before you stitch, so that you can be flexible." Jiaojiao said while unraveling, then put down the needle and thread, and crossed her hands Hold it well, "Sister Sanmei imitated me, crossed her hands, and then twisted from the shoulder blades, to the upper arm, then to the forearm, then to the wrist, and finally twisted to the fingertips."

As she said that, she twisted back and forth by herself. Looking at her flexible posture, Sanmei instantly felt that the person in front of her, who was dressed in coarse linen like her, was unattainable.

Jiaojiao thought it was because she couldn't learn it, so she walked up to her, pressed her shoulder blades, helped her move a few times, and taught her one by one. .

"Elder sister Sanmei's movements are still stiff, but it will be better if you practice more." Jiaojiao sat back on her side, feeling a little hot, so she pulled her jacket to dissipate heat, "Xiu Niang's hands are very important, especially in winter. Chilblains are not allowed, and once frostbite develops, the dexterity of the hands will be reduced."

Sanmei knows that her hands are very important, but she never thought that there is such a movement to adjust the flexibility of her hands. She is still repeating the movements Jiaojiao taught her over and over again. Although she knows Jiaojiao's origin is strange, Her mother had warned the three sisters not to ask too many questions, but she still couldn't hold back, "Sister Jiaojiao, how do you know this?"

How did you know?

Sanmei's question stumped her, she had never thought about it, but one day she sat on the kang for a long time embroidering and her hands were a little stiff, so she did it subconsciously.Jiaojiao frowned and thought for a while, "I don't know, it just happened suddenly."

Seeing that she was also puzzled, Sanmei didn't ask any more questions, and Jiaojiao didn't think about these things, so she didn't take them seriously, and then taught her how to make the embroidery look similar.

Many theories and acupuncture techniques that Sanmei had never heard of came out of Jiaojiao's little mouth, and she was a little confused.

Seeing her bewildered expression, Jiaojiao knew that there was no rush, so she took her handkerchief again, put on the front thread, and walked the needle in front of her, "Your previous embroidery is gone!" The needle is very stable, and the stitches are accurate, and the embroidered products will not have too many flaws, but your stitching method is single, and the places that need to be moved flexibly are not good, which makes everything drawn by the needle and thread less spiritual..."

While talking, she re-embroidered the two small lotus petals, "Look, what is the difference between my embroidery and Sanmei's?"

Sanmei looked at the lotus petals that seemed to be trembling slightly in the breeze, she couldn't believe it, but she couldn't believe it, she was shocked for a moment, and then she said: "Obviously, you think it's easy to walk the needle, but why?"

"It wasn't difficult at first, but for these two petals, I used five colors of embroidery threads and three stitches. Sister Sanmei only used two kinds of embroidery threads and one stitch. The stitches are easy to learn, but The choice of embroidery thread is difficult." Jiaojiao handed her the handkerchief, "Sister Sanmei must have never seen a lotus flower blooming in the breeze, you just choose its shape and determine its color according to this drawing. However, the drawing is dead, the lotus is alive, if there is no lotus in my heart, how can I embroider a real lotus?"

How can you embroider a real lotus if you don't have a lotus in your heart?

Sanmei felt that she understood, but at the same time felt that she didn't understand anything.

Until many years later, the emperor wearing a dragon robe asked her, "It is said that Li Yuxiu's embroidery is the best in the world, and what is embroidered is what it is, just like the real thing. But when I look at the dragon on the dragon robe, it is Not at all plausible. But why?"

"Does the emperor want to listen to the truth?"

"To deceive the emperor is a serious crime."

"Probably because I have never seen a real dragon. If there is no dragon in my heart, how can I embroider a real dragon?"

At that time, she really understood the meaning of this sentence.

Of course, this is something to say later, let’s not mention it for now, the little girl at the moment looked at her ignorant look, but also had patience, said a few comforting words to her, and taught her a new needle method. The sachet is embroidered.

Without Gu Ci's restraint, no one would force her to rest for half an hour at all. Only when it was time to eat, would Hua enter the room and ask her to go out for dinner.

Oil is expensive, and most people don't know how to light these oil lamps. The family has nothing to do after eating. In order to save firewood, they gather around the main room to warm up the fire, crack some sunflower seeds, and drink a bowl of rough tea.

It wasn't until this time that the little girl suddenly missed her sister, and when she and Sanmei lay down next to each other, she thought so much that she wanted to cry.

On weekdays, when I embroider for half an hour, my sister will take a rest and press her shoulders and fingers for nothing. She never feels tired from embroidery. Today is the first time I have embroidered so recklessly all afternoon. After lying down, I feel my back and neck are stiff. Pantothenic acid, and no one pressed her, so she felt wronged in an instant.

Seeing that her back was turned to her and she didn't speak, Sanmei could not help but worry when she heard a faint sniffling sound, "Sister Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

"I, I miss my sister." It's okay if no one asked, but when someone asked, the little girl burst into tears, "I, I want to go home."

When she cried, not only Sanmei was startled, but Damei and Ermei who were sleeping on the opposite bed were also startled, they got out of bed in their clothes and walked over, "Sister Jiaojiao is not used to sleeping with people, Why don't you go to sleep on the quilt, and our three sisters sleep on the kang, or let the three sisters come with us..."

"No." The little girl cried and shook her head, "I'm used to my sister hugging me to sleep."

"I saw that you were lively during the day, and you were so happy when you sent the eldest sister away, I thought you were an adaptable temperament." Damei smiled, bent down and pulled her sleeves to wipe her tears, "Don't cry , it's the same for Third Sister to sleep with you in her arms."

Sanmei also followed suit: "I'll sleep with you in my arms, my eldest sister can also talk in a notebook, I'll let her talk about it later."

The three sisters comforted each other, and the little girl felt better. She declined Sanmei's offer to sleep with her in her arms, and finally fell asleep in a daze after listening to Damei's words.

Before going to bed, I was still muttering in my heart: What Sister Damei said in the book is really messy, it is not as good as my own sister's, and the voice is not as good as her sister's...

Gu Ci, who was far away in Gujia Village, sneezed several times in succession, habitually reached into it a few times, and hugged him empty-handedly, only to remember that the delicate little girl is now at the grandfather's house.

Maybe the night is too quiet, so it is best to think about things. After thinking too much, she began to wonder why the little girl was so clingy to her all of a sudden, why she suddenly took the initiative to teach Sanmei embroidery at her grandfather's tutor instead of asking Sanmei to come and learn from her. ?

With this idea together, Gu Ci thinks more and more energetically, and the more energetic he thinks, the clearer he thinks, and he always feels that something is wrong.

So, in the middle of her sleep, she put on her coat again, went to the kang house with an oil lamp on, found the little girl's embroidery basket, took all her needles and threads away, and only had a pair of scissors and a few embroidered ones. sachet.

She counted the handkerchiefs she had hung on a long bench, and there were five embroidered ones and ten unfinished ones, but she clearly remembered that she put the handkerchiefs in the cloth bag...

The next day, at dawn, before the three sisters of the Li family woke up, the little girl quietly got up, and when she arrived at someone else's house, she woke up quickly and put on her clothes quickly. He took out his sachet from the cabinet at the top of the kang, and embroidered there with his messy hair.

When Sanmei woke up, she had finished most of the koi embroidery that she had embroidered yesterday.

"Sister Jiaojiao, why did you wake up so early?" Sanmei stared confusedly when she saw that she was embroidering, she woke up instantly, and got up in a jiffy.

"My embroidery work this month is a bit heavy. If I don't rush to embroider, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it." Jiaojiao didn't hide it from her. She checked the embroidered sachet, cut off the thread, and lowered her head to take a new one from it. of.

In order to earn more money, Sanmei sometimes rushes like this, which is understandable. After getting dressed, she quickly put away the quilt, set up the small table, and asked Jiaojiao to wash up first, and then come to embroider together.

The Li family only ate two meals in winter, but seeing Jiaojiao and Abao here, the old lady asked the aunt who was in charge of cooking today to boil eggs for the children in the family.

Jiaojiao usually wakes up with a sweet potato first, then steamed buns or porridge, and an egg is not enough, but she also knows that she can't say anything more. After eating an egg, she continues to embroider there hungry.

Sanmei was really anxious to see her, so she told her mother in private, and Hua secretly added oil lamps to their room.

This time, the little girl even forgot to sleep and eat.There was nothing to eat here, and she couldn't sleep well. The little girl wished she could embroider for twelve hours a day, embroidering the handkerchief and sachet all at once, and then sneaked back to her home.

Sanmei didn't know what she was thinking at all, she thought she was really in a hurry, but she didn't dare to say to help with embroidery, for fear of ruining her reputation as a showy person, she could only learn stitches when the little girl taught her. Be more serious, and then secretly help her smooth out the embroidery thread and handkerchief.

Excluding the time for eating and sleeping, the little girl embroidered for about six or seven hours a day, and she didn't go to sleep until her upper and lower eyelids fought each other and her eyes were red every night.Although she was so tired that she wanted to cry, but thinking about the dwindling number of handkerchiefs and sachets, she felt that it was all worth it.

Seeing that the handkerchiefs and sachets she brought were half embroidered, she would be able to finish embroidering them after another three days, but she didn't want to, her sister Gu Ci came.
