Chapter 5 Seizing the Needle
Seeing that Zhou Ying and the young master in Jinyi had entered Jinyu Zhai, Zhou Ran looked away and smiled at Mrs. Zhang: "I saw someone just now and thought she looked a bit like my cousin, so I took a second look, but that person came in Jin Yuzhai, I must have made a mistake."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang also felt that Zhou Ran had made a mistake. People from a family like them were not allowed to enter Jinyu Zhai.

"If you saw it wrong, leave quickly." Mrs. Zhang greeted Zhou Ran.

The two of them went back to West Street Buzhuang and after shopping, they went directly to the place where Old Man Liu parked his bullock cart.

The people on the oxcart that went back were still the same people as when they came, but because everyone bought something more or less, the oxcart was much more crowded than when they came.

After a bumpy ride back home, Zhou Ran and Zhang said hello and prepared to go back to the house to put things away.

"Wait a minute." Ms. Zhang stopped Zhou Ran and gave her the piece of cloth she bought. "You can make your own clothes later. Don't go out without even decent clothes. It seems like our family has treated you badly. "

This cloth was pulled for her?
Zhou Ran looked at the cloth in her hand and was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly at Mrs. Zhang and said, "Thank you, mother."

She could see that her cheap mother-in-law was hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

In the room, Ye Ximing was still sitting on the bed reading a book. When he saw Zhou Ran push the door open and come in, he looked up from the book and asked, "You're back?"

"Yeah." Zhou Ran responded, looked at the closed doors and windows, put down her things and went to open the window. After Ye Ximing looked over, she explained: "The weather is good, it's ventilated."

Ye Ximing nodded and looked away.

After Zhou Ran opened the window, she came out of the house and went to the kitchen. Mrs. Chen left food in the pot for Zhou Ran and Mrs. Zhang.

The meal was simple, with only two vegetarian dishes, but it tasted good. After finishing the meal with Mrs. Zhang, Zhou Ran put away the dishes and went back to the house to take out embroidery sheets and other items to start practicing.

The original owner only knows the simplest Qi stitch in embroidery. Qi stitch is the basis of all flat embroidery stitches. Most people who are new to embroidery start with Qi stitch, so people who can embroider basically know Qi stitch. But if you want your embroidery to be outstanding, you only need to use Qi stitch. It's obviously not possible to do all the needles.

However, as long as the Qi stitch can be embroidered flat, even, neat and dense, other stitching techniques will be easier to master.

Zhou Ran decided to practice another acupuncture method mentioned in the first few pages of the book in the past few days: grabbing needles.

The grabbing stitch is one of the traditional stitches of Suzhou embroidery. It is divided into positive stitching and reverse stitching. It is mainly used to embroider flowers, fruits, landscapes and other patterns.

After spending most of the day with the needle and thread in her hands and practicing many times, Zhou Ran finally embroidered a finished product that she was quite satisfied with.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, put down her needlework, stood up and stretched her stiff neck. She glanced at Ye Ximing who was still leaning on the bed reading a book, then looked at the sky outside, shook her head and went outside.

The sun was already setting in the west, and Mrs. Li was collecting clothes to dry in the yard. When she saw Zhou Ran, Mrs. Li called her enthusiastically: "Brother and sister."

Zhou Ran smiled and called: "Second sister-in-law."

"Brother and sister, I haven't seen you all day long. What are you doing in the house?" Ms. Li asked curiously.

"I just do some sewing." Zhou Ran replied, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and said, "Second sister-in-law, it's getting late, I'm going to help make dinner first."

"Oh, no need." Mrs. Li stopped her and said, "I have a sister-in-law who cooks. She is good at cooking and the food is delicious. You can stay here and let's chat."

Zhou Ran could only stop and asked, "What does Second Sister-in-law want to talk about?"

Li's eyes rolled, she hugged the clothes she had just collected from the clothesline, came over and whispered: "Normally, my sister and I are going home today, but my sister, why didn't you go back, instead you went with your mother?" Have you gone to the county town? Doesn’t your mother want you to go back?"

Zhou Ran shook her head and denied with a smile: "Second sister-in-law is overthinking. Mom is not that kind of person. It was my grandma who told me that my husband was not in good health, so I didn't have to come back in a hurry." "Really?" I believe that Mrs. Zhang, her mother-in-law, is indeed not someone who teases her daughter-in-law, but isn’t Zhou Ran’s situation different?

"Yes." Zhou Ran nodded and said to Mrs. Li, "Second sister-in-law is busy first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

After saying that, Zhou Ran raised her feet and left.

Li looked at Zhou Ran's back and curled her lips, then carried her clothes into her and Ye Laoer's house.

When Zhou Ran arrived at the door of the kitchen, Ye Xiaomei happened to come out of the kitchen. When she saw Zhou Ran, Ye Xiaomei called out softly: "Sister-in-law three." Then she lowered her head and ran away without waiting for Zhou Ran's reply.

Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment before walking into the kitchen. She was still thinking: Isn't Xiaomei Ye too shy? It had been three days since she arrived at Ye's house, but she hadn't said a complete word to Ye Xiaomei. She didn't know if Ye Xiaomei was like this in front of other people.
Ms. Chen, who was cutting vegetables, raised her head when she heard the noise and smiled at Zhou Ran: "Three brothers and sisters, are you hungry? Food will have to wait for a while. There are still steamed buns at home. Do you want to make a cushion first?"

Zhou Ran shook her head: "Sister-in-law, I'm not hungry. I came to see if there is anything you need help with."

Mrs. Chen smiled and refused: "No need to help, my little sister has already washed the dishes for me and steamed the rice. I will just cook the dishes later."

"Then I just have to wait and eat." Zhou Ran joked.

"Yes, just wait and eat." Mrs. Chen smiled.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Ran saw that there was really no need for her help, so she went out first.

When it was time for dinner, Ye Dalang returned home first, but Ye Erlang was nowhere to be seen.

In the past, Ye Erlang would always come back before dinner. Mrs. Li was worried and kept looking outside the yard.

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ye were relatively calm. They did business sooner or later. Occasionally, when business was not going well, it was normal for them to come back later.

After appeasing Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhang asked Ye Erlang to leave the food for the others to eat first.

But when it got dark and Ye Erlang still hadn't come back, Zhang, Father Ye and others couldn't help but get worried. Father Ye had an injured leg, so he could only ask Ye Dalang to go and look for it along the road.

Boss Ye responded and went out to look for someone. After walking for less than half of the way to the town, he finally met Ye Erlang who was rushing back in the dark.

"Second brother?" Ye Dalang called out.

Ye Erlang heard the sound and responded: "Brother, why are you here?"

"Dad asked me to pick you up." Ye Dalang, like his father, was a taciturn person. After explaining this sentence, he kept silent.

Ye Erlang had long been accustomed to his eldest brother's temper. He said a little guiltily: "It's my fault. My parents are worried."

Ye Dalang was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Your wife is also very worried about you."

Ye Erlang was dumbfounded by Ye Dalang's words. He said in a helpless tone: "Yeah, it's my fault. My wife and you are all worried."

Ye Dalang was satisfied, "Come back early next time."

Ye Erlang sighed. He didn't want to come back so late, but there was nothing he could do about it. Thinking of the half of the buns left in the car, Ye Erlang couldn't help but worry.
