Chapter 72 Embroidery

"Where did the golden light come from? The reflected light from the sun that day? Look at whether my sister is gone now." Gu Xin walked over and said,

"It seems, it's gone now." Twenty-six said

Because the yard is covered with blue bricks, it is very clean even if it rains. When the breeze blows, the smell of soil comes from the air.

Gu Xin liked the taste very much and sucked two hard.

Because I have to go to the town today, Chen Yi’s medicine furnace was broken and I wanted to buy one. Alan and the others wanted to make embroidery products and buy some silk thread and cloth. Gu Xin didn’t know anything about embroidery thread at all, so she planned to take Alan with her.

After dinner, Gu Xin led Alan to Mr. Li's house. This was the first time Gu Xin came here except for the village chief's house to go to someone else's house.

Mr. Li's house is on the east side of the village, with wooden doors and three thatched huts. The yard is very clean. Even in this summer when wild grass is growing wildly, there is no wild grass. There is a plum tree in the corner of the wall on the left. The fruits on the tree are ripe and the branches are bent. There is a cowshed on the right side of the thatched house, which is tied with the cows that Mr. Li relies on for survival. A small shed is set up next to the cowshed, with a few chickens inside.

Because today is not a market day, Mr. Li is idle at home, when Gu Xin saw the wooden door, he saw Mr. Li sitting on the bench in the yard with a cigarette pot in his mouth.

"Uncle Li, I want to go to the county," Gu Xin said

Uncle Li looked at Gu Xin and quickly stood up and shouted to the house, "Wife comes out soon, the girl in Xin is here."

"Where is the girl in my heart?" A woman about forty-seven or eight years old walked out of the house. She had half of her head with silver wire on her head, a slightly fat face, a smile, and looked amiable. She was wearing patched clothes, but she was very clean and could faintly smell the fragrance of soap beans.

"The aunt is here," Gu Xin said

"How long have you been, I won't come to see the aunt?" Aunt Li said, holding Gu Xin's hand and holding Gu Xin's hand.

"Auntie, I'm sick and I've only been back for a few days. Isn't it time to come? And this is my sister Alan I recognize." Gu Xin introduced Alan to Auntie Li.

"Xin'er, your father just said that you are sick. I didn't expect that you are so sick. Look at you, you are so thin, but you are pretty. This girl Lan is handsome, come into the house quickly." Aunt Li said.

Gu Xin and Alan were dragged into the house by Aunt Li, and the room was as clean as Aunt Li. Gu Xin and Alan sat on the bench at the table, Aunt Li washed a basin of plums for Gu Xin and the others to eat.

Gu Xin picked up a plum and gave it to Alan. Alan was a little shy and ate it in small bites. Gu Xin picked up a plum and took a big bite. It was just so sweet and sour. After eating a plum and eating another one, he said, "My aunt, this plum is so delicious, why don't you sell it for sale?"

"This is the wild plum tree that your uncle dug on the mountain. There are so many on the mountain. No one buys it to eat. If you are willing to eat it, pick more when you leave." Aunt Li said.

"Auntie, I want to go to the county with Alan to buy some embroidery thread. I don't know which one is better." Gu Xin said.

Gu Xin's clothes were made by Aunt Li, and it can be seen that Aunt Li's needlework is good.

"The Jinxiu Pavilion in the county is very good and the price is fair. If you use embroidery, the recycling price is also high. Xin'er, you want to make embroidery." Aunt Li said

"Auntie, how can I do needlework? It's Alan who embroidered things early." Gu Xin said nothing at all, as if it was normal for her to embroider.

"Auntie knows it's not you. I haven't taught you for so many years. If your mother hadn't had her eyes broken and could not do needlework, no one would have been as good as your mother's embroidery work." Auntie Li said
