“Huahua?!” Tan Yuan looked at Huajin in surprise. Recently, they had received several high-priced custom orders. They already had to work overtime just to embroider these. Now they have to embroider such a big thing. How can they have enough time? use?

Seeing that Tan Yuan had a strange look on his face, the middle-aged man guessed that the other party might not want to do his business. He bent his shoulders and rubbed his hands together, and whispered: “I, I am willing to add money, can you…”

“Let me take a look at the album.” Hua Jin handed the album to the man. She didn’t quote a price, but carefully told the man about the different embroidery methods and how much time it would take.

The man listened very carefully. He looked through the album and actual photos, hesitated again and again, and chose an embroidery method that could be completed in about a month.

When giving the deposit, the man took out a dirty old wallet from his coat pocket with a huge copycat logo printed on it. While counting the money, the man said a little embarrassedly: “I don’t know how to pay with my mobile phone. I heard that there are many viruses on the Internet, and the money in the mobile phone can be stolen accidentally.”

I heard that young people in big cities now like to pay with their mobile phones. Even when buying snacks on the roadside, they scan them with their mobile phones. His old-fashioned payment method may not please the other party.

“Cash is good, it feels better in my hand.” Hua Jin handed the deposit receipt to the man. “It has the mobile phone numbers of me and my colleagues. If you need anything, you can contact us.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.” The man said thank you three times in a row. He put the receipt into the wallet compartment and quickly disappeared out the door.

“Huahua.” After the man walked away, Tan Yuancai said distressedly, “Last time someone tripled the money and you were unwilling to rush the work. This time it’s better. The money is less and you have to embroider a large piece. Is it possible that he can’t do it?” Are you really from your hometown?”

“Even a fellow countryman is not worth your efforts. Do you know that staying up late is the chief killer of disfigurement?” He reached out and took the opportunity to touch Hua Jin’s face, “It’s a pity that this flower is as beautiful as jade, even women are tempted. face.”

“Thank you for the compliment, but I won’t like you, so give up.” Hua Jin slapped Tan Yuan’s claws away, and stuffed the brewed tea cup into Tan Yuan’s hand, “Go and make your flower-painted jewelry box. , kneel down.”

“Okay, Your Lady Queen.” Tan Yuan smiled and shrank to her workbench. She has no talent for embroidery. Her mother said that she had learned embroidery for nearly ten years, but the things she embroidered were lacking in spirit. If it were in the past, she would only be an embroiderer throughout her life and would not be able to become a master. Huahua is different from her. She didn’t learn Shu embroidery from her mother until she was nineteen years old. In just five or six years, the things she embroidered have become lifelike. Her mother calls her “spiritual energy” and her ancestors appreciate her food.

Tan Yuan is very happy about this. Her mother’s craftsmanship is finally succeeded by someone, and she prefers to make lacquerware, so she started making lacquerware with her father in the past few years.

Whether it is lacquerware or embroidery, they are both traditional techniques. They have some similarities in art, but they also have many differences. The biggest problem in the traditional craft industry is that the skilled masters are old and the younger generation of craftsmen have not yet been trained. As a result, there is no work and many embroidery techniques have even been lost.

So in the eyes of Tan Yuan’s mother, Gao Shulan, Huajin is the fire of traditional art, the hope for the future of Shu embroidery, and her orthodox successor. She is not her biological daughter, but Sheng is her biological daughter.

This would give Hua Jin more time to rush into embroidery work. Tan Yuan spent most of the day greeting customers entering the store. After closing the shop in the evening, Hua Jin went to Tan Yuan’s house for a late-night snack before walking out slowly.

Tan Qing and Gao Shulan wanted to keep Hua Jin at home for the night, but Hua Jin didn’t want to trouble their family and was even more afraid of Gao Auntie urging her to get married, so she found an excuse to sneak out.

Although it was past 10:30 at night, this bustling city was still very lively. Hua Jin walked on the street, looked up at the lights on the buildings, and felt the excitement that uniquely belongs to the bustling city.

After walking for a while, she bent down and rubbed her aching knees a few times, took out her cell phone from her bag and checked the time. At this time, she didn’t want to wait for the bus anymore, so she simply booked a car online.

This time period is not the peak period for commuting. A driver quickly picked up the order, and the mobile map showed that he would be there in about five minutes.

Putting down her phone, Hua Jin found herself standing on the edge of the sidewalk and took a few steps back. Seeing countless cars whizzing by on the road, but she was far enough away from these cars to be safe, she hummed a song in a good mood.

A few drunk men walked over, arming themselves with each other. When they saw Hua Jin, they whistled a few times while drinking.

Hua Jin didn’t yell or scold, nor did she retreat timidly. She just glanced at them quietly, reached out to touch in her bag, and then continued to play with her phone with her head down.

Seeing that Hua Jin did not respond, and there were other pedestrians on the roadside, the drunkards felt that it was not interesting and walked away crookedly.

When they walked away, Hua Jin deleted the three numbers 110 on the dialing page of her mobile phone, and put the alarm and antique hairpin in her right hand back into her bag.

Who has lived alone for so many years and hasn’t found some tricks to deal with gangsters?

Wen can gracefully embroider landscapes, and martial arts can scare gangsters. Hua Jin feels that she is a strange woman with both civil and military skills in the new era.

The scheduled car arrived soon. After Hua Jin got into the back seat, the driver reminded her that there was water next to her and she could drink it if she was thirsty. Hua Jin thanked her but did not touch the bottle of water. Seeing that Hua Jin was silent, the driver did not insist on talking to her and turned on the traffic announcement.

The radio said that a car accident occurred on a certain road section and caused traffic congestion. Pedestrians and vehicles were asked to avoid this road section as much as possible.

“Fortunately we passed through the intersection next to it, otherwise we would have had to take a long detour.” The driver sighed, remembering that the woman in the back seat didn’t seem to like talking, and closed his mouth again. He has nothing wrong with him except that he likes to chat with people. A customer once gave him a bad review because he talked too much, so now he is calm and restrained.

“Well, fortunately we are lucky.” Hua Jin replied.

“That’s not true.” The driver said proudly, “I’ve been lucky since I was a child. Even dogs like to wag their tails when they see me.”

Hua Jin didn’t know how to answer the question for a while. The example given by the other party was too powerful.

The driver realized that Hua Jin was not indifferent, so he couldn’t restrain his high interest in chatting and talked about the new things he had encountered recently. Hua Jin found that these masters who often took on business outside were very well-informed. They knew some things clearly that they didn’t even know online, and they could tell the story in an ups and downs and fascinating way.

When passing by the scene of the car accident, Hua Jin glanced over there and saw the sound of ambulances and police sirens coming over, but nothing else could be heard.

When he arrived outside the residential building, the driver poked his head out and looked outside. He found that the alley was narrow and the road was uneven: “Passenger, we have arrived at our destination. Please give me a five-star review.”

“Okay.” Hua Jin opened the door and got out of the car, walked a few steps, and the alley was bright. She looked back and saw that the chatty master did not drive away, but turned on the car’s headlights, illuminating the alley in front of her.

Stopping, Hua Jin thanked the driver.

The driver closed the door and window and couldn’t hear what Hua Jin said. When he saw her turning around, he waved to her, signaling her to go home quickly.

It is not easy for young girls working hard outside. If this kind of small thing can ensure the safety of girls, it can be regarded as a good thing for themselves.

Walking in the dark corridor, Hua Jin heard Sister Qin yelling. Was she scolding the child again?

The building Hua Jin rents is an old single-row house. There are only six floors in total, with independent rooms equipped with kitchens and bathrooms, and a large balcony connecting the entire floor. There are rumors that this place may be demolished, but the news has been circulating for two or three years but there has been no movement. Most of the people living in this building are tenants from all over the world. They maintain a superficial courtesy with each other, but due to the relatively high mobility among tenants, they are destined not to have a deep friendship.

Upstairs, when Hua Jin took the key to the door, she heard the sound of bowls being smashed next door. She tilted her head and paused carefully. There was no sound of a child crying.

She heard from Grandma Chen downstairs that Sister Qin was a local, and her husband cheated on her through gambling and beat others. She divorced the man, and not long after she took her children back to live with her family, she bullied her because of her younger brother’s children. Son, she moved out with her child again.

Perhaps because she is under too much pressure in life, she has a bad temper. Sometimes she can’t help scolding her children, but she has never been seen to do anything to them. Hua Jin cannot judge whether Sister Qin is right or wrong, and she is not qualified to judge.

I have been doing Shu embroidery for a few minutes in the house, but the movement next door hasn’t stopped yet. Hua Jin sighed helplessly, got up, filled a small bowl of green dates from the refrigerator, walked out and knocked on Sister Qin’s door.

“Sister Qin, I bought some fresh green dates yesterday. They taste pretty good. You and your children can try them.” After Sister Qin opened the door, Hua Jin did not enter the house. She glanced inside the house and saw the little boy. Sitting quietly on the shabby sofa, there were no wounds on his body and his clothes were not scattered.

“Thank you.” Sister Qin glanced at Hua Jin, took the bowl in her hand, and quickly walked out. The green dates in the bowl were gone, but there were a few pieces of peeled pineapple: “This is mine The pineapple I just soaked today is quite sweet. You can take it back and eat it.”

“Thank you.” Hua Jin took a bite. The pineapple was sweet and delicious, without any astringency. When she returned to the house, there was no loud noise next door, and it didn’t take long for it to become completely quiet.

The mother and son should be asleep.

She yawned, turned up the light, and began to embroider a red quilt with dragons and phoenixes.

Stay up late at night to finish the things you have committed to do.

An hour later, she got up and walked a few steps in the house. A certain media software on her mobile phone pushed a message with the title “His life makes you sympathize, but its life makes you cry.”

I clicked on the title and took a look at the content. It turned out that it was about a wealthy man who took his pet to another place. He couldn’t bear to let his pet suffer during the transportation, so he took the pet to the destination on a private plane.

“Click headlines!”
