70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 386
Aunt Zheng wanted to teach Xie Xiaonian how to embroider, and she also had her own considerations. On the one hand, she saw that Xiaonian was really interested in embroidery, and her craft would be lost if she didn't find an apprentice.

On the other hand, she was thinking about Xiao Nian's favor, and besides, if she taught Xiao Nian how to embroider by herself, she would be more concerned about her old man's illness.

And she heard that Xiao Nian is very good at finding food on the mountain, and the few families in the compound that Xiao Nian has made friends with, the days are getting better.

If she accepts Xiao Nian as her apprentice, then maybe her family will get a little bit of credit.

However, although she has some calculations in her heart, her heart to teach Xiao Nian how to embroider is really true, as long as Xiao Nian wants to learn, she will definitely teach her all her skills, and she will never hide her secrets.

"Really? Can you really teach me?" Xie Xiaonian said in disbelief.

"Of course you can. Now is the new era, and there is no need to pay attention to unique skills. As long as you want to learn, I can teach you, so as to save this skill from being lost. But you need to formally worship me as a teacher That's fine, are you willing to do that?" Mrs. Zheng said seriously.

"Yes, yes, very much." Xie Xiaonian nodded sharply.

Xie Xiaonian has always been interested in traditional skills such as paper-cutting and embroidery. It's fine if she didn't have a teacher in her previous life. Now that she has encountered it in this life, she must not miss it.

"As long as you are willing to worship me as a teacher, I will see which day is a good day these days. Let's hold the next teacher ceremony, so that you will officially become my disciple. But now the country is against feudal superstition. We have to carry out the ceremony secretly, so that no one else can know about it." Zheng Auntie instructed.

"No problem, you can do whatever you want." Xie Xiaonian said happily.

She really didn't expect that she would have such an opportunity to encounter such a good thing that fell from the sky.

There are not many people embroidering now, and the supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell such things as embroidery threads and embroidery needles at all, so Aunt Zheng even introduced a shop to Xiao Nian, so as to save her from making a trip in vain.

"However, these things require industrial coupons. When you go to buy them, don't forget to bring them with you," Zhu Yufang reminded.

"Well, I see, it happens that there are still a lot of industrial coupons issued by the Zhongjun at home!" Xie Xiaonian replied with a smile.

When Xu Zhongjun came home for dinner at noon, Xie Xiaonian ran up to him excitedly and said, "Zhongjun, do you know that our neighbor, Mrs. Zheng, is a master at embroidery. She agreed to accept me as an apprentice this morning, so I can follow him in the future." She learned to embroider."

"Really, that's great. Seeing that you are so happy, you must like embroidery very much, but if you want to watch the children and do housework, if you learn embroidery again, will you be too tired? Can your body take it?" Xu Zhongjun said with some worry.

"It's okay, I'm not tired, the children are very good, and there's nothing to do at home. You help me with housework such as sweeping and mopping the floor. You usually do it for me when you are resting. I just cook and have nothing to do every day." I finally came across something I like, so I must study hard and try to learn all the skills from Aunt Zheng." Xie Xiaonian said confidently, waving her fist.

"As long as you like it!" Xu Zhongjun patted Xie Xiaonian's head and nodded in agreement.

It's been a long time since he saw his daughter-in-law so happy for one thing, and she still supports her in her heart, as long as Xiao Nian is happy, he will take care of the housework in the future.

"Yufang's sister-in-law said that if you buy embroidery stretchers, embroidery frames, embroidery threads, and scissors, you need industrial coupons. I may have to spend all the industrial coupons at home. After all, I have to buy double copies of these things. Put one part outside and one part in the space, so as not to cause suspicion due to the wear and tear of the tool in the future." Xie Xiaonian said.

"It's okay, just spend it, if it's not enough, you can tell me, I'll exchange it with other comrades in arms." Xu Zhongjun said dotingly.

"Yeah, if it's really not enough by then, we can use food or meat to replace it."

Although he said so, Xie Xiaonian didn't intend to ask Xu Zhongjun to help her exchange industrial vouchers in the compound. After all, if she needed too much, it would be unworthy of her consumption.

With so much food, vegetables and fruits in the space, it is still very easy for her to get industrial vouchers.

"Now that you are going to worship Mrs. Zheng as your teacher, will you also change the medicinal materials that Uncle Liu needs? If you cure Uncle Liu's illness, will there be many troubles in the future? "Xu Zhongjun then asked.

"Aunt Zheng is about to become my master. I must use the best medicine for his husband, and I will treat him with space well water. Only when Aunt Zheng is in a good mood can she teach me how to embroider better. As for how far Uncle Liu's illness can be cured, and whether similar people will come to me in the future, we can only take one step at a time. However, everyone's condition and physique are different, even if I treat Uncle Liu Well, it doesn’t mean that other people must be cured.”

"Well, as long as you have a plan in your mind." Xu Zhongjun nodded and said.

Xiao Nian is always assertive and calculating, so Xu Zhongjun didn't worry about it any more. If there is any trouble, he will help him solve it.

The next morning, after Xie Xiaonian entrusted the three children to Chen Xiuhong, she took all the family's industrial coupons and took the bus to the county.

According to Aunt Zheng's instructions, Xie Xiaonian quickly found a place that sold embroidery thread and embroidery tools, and then directly bought a lot of things, until she used up all the industrial vouchers in her hand.

Xie Xiaonian even gave it to him directly if he didn't want the processed products of industrial coupons.

Seeing the surprised look in the salesperson's eyes, Xie Xiaonian felt that she would still buy things in disguise in the future, so as to save too much attention.

There is still a lot of white cloth in the space that she bought before, Xie Xiaonian didn't buy any more cloth, and planned to use the space first.

Thinking about the apprenticeship ceremony after two days, Xie Xiaonian went to the supply and marketing agency again.

In this way, the things she takes out from the space in the future can be used as an excuse to say that she bought them from a supply and marketing agency.

"There are so many embroidery threads at home. Are there more in the space? You bought so much embroidery thread alone. Have you run out of it?" Xu Zhongjun looked at the half-basket of embroidery thread in the house and asked suspiciously.

"It will be used up one day. You also know the time difference between the space and the outside. If you don't buy more, I'm afraid it will be used up in a day or two." Xie Xiaonian said as a matter of course.

Seeing her like this, Xu Zhongjun didn't say anything else. Anyway, things won't break if they are stored in the space, so keep them as long as you can, and he doesn't know how much embroidery thread is needed for embroidery.

In the afternoon, Xie Xiaonian didn't care whether Chen Xiuhong would come to play at home, looked at his watch, and locked the door as soon as the lunch break was over, and took the three children to Aunt Zheng's house.

If Chen Xiuhong came and saw that the house was locked, she should know where she went.

"Ms. Zheng, I'm here to learn embroidery. How about the embroidery threads, fabrics, and this embroidery frame I bought?" Xie Xiaonian said straight to the point as soon as she entered the door.

Now that he hasn't formally apprenticed to a teacher, Xie Xiaonian has not changed his words, and still calls Aunt Zheng.

"The things are bought so quickly?" Zhu Yufang asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's ready. I went to buy it this morning." Xie Xiaonian replied with a smile.

"It hasn't been long since the snow fell, and there is still a lot of snow on the road. It's still so cold, why did you buy it? You child, you are really impatient." Aunt Zheng said with a smile.

"Isn't this auntie, your craftsmanship is so good that I can't help but want to learn it earlier?" Xie Xiaonian said obediently.

After putting the three children on the kang with Zhu Yufang, Xiao Nian took out a piece of wild pork about five catties and a large enamel jar with a lid from the basket she was carrying carefully.

"What are you doing? You gave back the meat the day before yesterday, why did you take the meat again today? I dare not let you come again." Aunt Zheng said a little unhappy.

Although she thought that her family members could follow Xiao Nian to get rich, but she also hoped that they could get it with their own hands, instead of asking Xiao Nian for nothing.

"You will be my master soon, what if I bring some meat to honor my master? I have learned your craft for nothing, if you don't let me bring something over, I really dare not come." Xie Xiaonian took it for granted Said.

"Then we can't ask for such a big piece of meat from you." Zhu Yufang also refused.

"Oh, just keep it, it's for hunting in the mountains, and it's not bought with money. And if you accept my things, you will feel that you can't eat others' mouths, and you will teach me more seriously, right? In this case, I also feel more at ease in my heart." Xie Xiaonian blinked and said playfully.

"You kid, you're really clever. Since Xiao Nian has brought it all, Xin Guo's mother, you can put it away." Aunt Zheng nodded Xiao Nian's forehead and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll put it away." Zhu Yufang nodded happily.

"It's been cold recently, so I've frozen the meat in a snowdrift in the yard. It's still fresh. You can make bacon or keep burying it in the snowdrift to freeze. I can't see the spring in this snow, is it? It won't melt." Xie Xiaonian said.

"Then I'll freeze it in the yard too. Fresh meat is more delicious. It happens that my father can't eat too salty. This fresh meat is suitable for my father to cook porridge." Zhu Yufang nodded and said.

When Zhu Yufang went to freeze the meat in the yard, Aunt Zheng said suspiciously: "Xiao Nian, why did you come to the house with an enamel jar? It's not that the house doesn't have something for you to drink, and you brought a lot of it with you. Trouble."

At this time, there is no such thing as one cup per person, they are all mixed, and when you go to someone’s house, you bring your own cup, and the host will feel that the other party is disgusting with you, and you will think more about it if you have a sick person at home.

This is why Aunt Zheng didn't treat Xiao Nian as an outsider, so she asked directly.
