When embroidering the longevity belt, Huajinxiu was very slow. Tan Yuan watched it for a long time before he realized that Huajin had embroidered the almost invisible longevity characters on the belt with a dark thread similar to the red color.

"Huahua, they don't understand, why are you embroidering this?" Tan Yuan saw that the word "shou" was fused with the belt fabric using the old-fashioned dark needle technique, "Even if the guests saw it, they would only think that it was printing and dyeing. on the fabric."

"This is a belt for blessing. The older wife hopes that her husband will be healthy and have a long life." Hua Jin smiled, "I don't embroider a belt, but a blessing."

Tan Yuan was stunned for a while, and instead of saying that Hua Jin was superfluous, he nodded: "So it is."

"When I was young, my grandmother was very kind to me, and would secretly save money to buy me beautiful socks and a headband." Huajin Embroidery did not stop her hand, but her tone was nostalgic, "I have good grades, almost every final exam. The first place in the class. Whenever this time, my grandmother will go to the county to bring me delicious food."

For her at that time, two or three flower rolls for fifty cents and melon seeds for fifty cents or two were all delicious. Now she has eaten countless famous snacks, but unfortunately, what she remembers most clearly is the anticipation and excitement when she was waiting for her grandmother to return from the county seat.

The salty melon seeds, after she ate the seeds, she had to suck the salt on the shell with all her might, and then spit it out reluctantly.

When grandma is sick, if she is rich and strong enough, she can send grandma to the best hospital for treatment, and let her old man live a hundred years. All of her, her father didn't kiss her, her mother didn't love her, only her grandmother regarded her as a baby bump, but she could only watch her grandmother suffer from illness and die.

Tan Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, she put her hand lightly on Hua Jin's shoulder: "Hua Hua..." She didn't know how to comfort her, she finally understood why Hua Jin was extra patient with certain guests.

"It's alright, I'm just talking nonsense." Unexpectedly, Tan Yuan was even sadder than her client, but Hua Jin couldn't help laughing, "It's not that you don't know, the uncle and aunt have a relationship with me, of course I I hope that both of them will live a long life, free from disease and disaster."

"I don't know what kind of aura you are. The elderly customers who come to the store like you very much." Tan Yuan touched her face, "Don't you all say that a round face is more popular with the elders, this rule is in After I was on it, why did it fail?"

"You are also very popular with the elderly, and I don't think about how many old people see you and buy lacquer ware to go home?" Hua Jin stopped embroidering, reached out and squeezed Tan Yuan's soft and smooth face: "Every year your family How many red envelopes do those relatives give you? It's not like me, a loner, who relies on your red envelope income to eat a big meal every year."

"Who made you like to be happy? I took the red envelope and invited you to dinner, which is considered to make you happy." Hua Jin touched her chin, "It seems that your happiness is very useful, wait for you to marry Mr. Pei. , be sure to give me a big red envelope, I want to get it back."

Hua Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."

"Just as I was talking, it came." Tan Yuan raised her chin toward the window, "The time is really accurate, it just appeared at six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not too late for a second."

"It's been hard for you to visit the store these past few days." Hua Jin picked up her bag and blew a kiss to Tan Yuan, "I'll invite you to a big dinner in two days."

"Come on, go, I'm watching in the store, don't worry." Tan Yuan waved her out the door, "You used to help me watch the store, I finally have the opportunity to help you, when my mother criticizes me in the future , I can also straighten my back.”

Seeing Hua Jin trot out, Mr. Pei frowned to support her, and said something while staring at her knee, Tan Yuan couldn't help but let out a smile. If Hua Jin can find someone who loves her and cares about her, let alone let her visit the store for a few more days and let her lose a few pounds of meat, she is willing.

Thinking of this, she put her hands together and whispered to a koi embroidered screen: "Koi koi, please bless Huahua with a smooth relationship. If her wish comes true, I am willing to lose five pounds." Touching the flesh around her waist, This wish… simply kills two birds with one stone.

"Hua Jin, how many times have I told you to wear high heels, don't run, don't run." Pei Yan said while bending over to buckle Hua Jin's seat belt, "Are you trying to piss me off? widow?"

"You think too much," Hua Jin whispered, "I haven't married you yet, what a widow."

Pei Yan: "..."

"Looks like you really want to piss me off."

"It's not my fault either."

"Do you blame me?"

"Yeah, if it wasn't for your charm, I wanted to get close to you when I saw you, and why would I run?" Hua Jin confidently stretched out her index finger and poked Pei Yan's chest, "Do you know what the blue-faced disaster is? Just like you."

Pei Yan's face was flushed by her poking, and she didn't know whether it was because of anger or something else.

He pinched Hua Jin's index finger: "Don't make trouble, I'm going to drive."

"Oh." Hua Jin took her fingers out of Pei Yan's palm and sat upright on her lap, "Where are you going to eat tonight?"

"I hired a chef a few days ago. He is very good at cooking and is very good at simmering soup. The soup he made is delicious and delicious. Would you like to try it?" following her.

"Go to your house?" Hua Jin turned to look at Pei Yan's beautiful pupils, "Where do you live now?"

"Well." Seeing that Hua Jin didn't answer immediately, Pei Yan said, "Of course, if you don't like it, we can go..."

"Okay." Hua Jin interrupted Pei Yan's unfinished words, "I haven't been to your house yet."

I didn't expect Hua Jin to agree so quickly, and the smile in Pei Yan's eyes overflowed: "There is a garden at home, where we can camp or barbecue. There is also a gym, swimming pool, study room, and game room at home. We can work together in the future. Exercise, play games, read books, grow flowers…”

Pei Yan talked a lot, as if he couldn't wait to hold all the treasures in front of her, telling her that he was worthy of love and capable of being good to her.

He didn't say "my home", but "home" and "we". In his future life plan, there is him and her.

In this relationship, Hua Jin always thought that it was herself who would feel insecure, but now she suddenly found out that Pei Yan was also afraid and worried.

Was it her attitude that affected him and made him uneasy

The car drove into Pei Yan's house, Hua Jin looked at the lush green garden and said with emotion, "It's so beautiful here."

"My mother designed the garden. After she and my dad passed away, I haven't changed the layout." Pei Yan drove the car into the garage. "If you don't like it, you can ask a gardener to modify it later."

"Very good, I like it very much." Hua Jin paused for a moment, "Auntie must have put a lot of thought into designing the garden."

Pei Yan smiled, got out of the car and opened the door for Hua Jin: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to modify it, we will buy a new suite in the future, and the garden will be built according to your standards."

Walking out of the garage, Hua Jin looked at this unfamiliar place and remembered the old and dilapidated building she lived in. She felt inexplicably that she looked a bit like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Yan took her hand, "Why do you look so stupid?"

"I laughed out loud when I thought of finding such a powerful boyfriend." Hua Jin shook Pei Yan's arm, "I'm happy."

"Then you should be happy. For a good man like me, you have to hold on tight and don't lose it." Pei Yan held Hua Jin's hand tightly and walked home step by step, "If you accidentally lose it yourself. Now, just stand there and wait for me to come back to find you."

"Okay." Hua Jin lowered her head and smiled, "If I accidentally lose myself, you must come to me."

The dinner was as delicious as Pei Yan said. After the meal, the helper and aunt brought fruit, and the two brought the fruit to the film and television room, ready to watch a movie. Hua Jin found that there are many genuine DVDs in this room specially used for watching TV, including cartoons that children like to watch, and classic movies from all over the world.

"Anything you like to watch?" Pei Yan put the fruit on the table, watching Hua Jin staring at the cabinet where the discs were placed in a daze, "If you don't like it, you can go to the video site to watch it."

Hua Jin flipped over a disc and put it into the player.

This is a literary film with a beautiful name, but a sad and desperate story. The girl who yearned for freedom was imprisoned in a closed mountain village. Her eyes became more and more numb, her words and deeds became more and more vulgar, and finally she became the one she hated the most.

At the end of the story, several young backpackers passed by the village and asked the heroine who was full of vicissitudes for directions. Watching the backpacker walk away slowly, a gleam of brilliance suddenly appeared in the heroine's eyes, which finally dimmed again.

"What's it like outside?"

Looking at the darkened projection wall, Hua Jin felt uncomfortable in her throat. She glanced at the time: "It's late, I should go back."

"I'll send it to you." Pei Yan knew that she was in a bad mood. In fact, not long after the movie started, Pei Yan wanted to watch another disc, but Hua Jin disagreed.

Seeing that Hua Jin was leaving, the maid couldn't help but said, "It's so late, Miss Hua will stay here. I've already tidy up the guest room." Mr. Pei is also true, how can he send his girlfriend outside at night of

"Thank you, but I have some things at home that I need to use when I go to work tomorrow." Hua Jin declined the help of the helper, and went to the door to change her shoes, "Goodbye, I'll trouble you today."

"No, no." Auntie helper said, "Mr. Pei brought a girl home for the first time. We have no experience in entertaining. If there is a place where hospitality is not well, please don't take it to heart."

Hearing this, Hua Jin turned her head and smiled at Pei Yan, feeling that people in the whole world could not wait to tell her that she was Pei Yan's first girlfriend and the only one that Pei Yan brought home.

As an ordinary person with rich thighs, her treatment is much better than that of idol drama heroines, and no one who is more intimate with Pei Yan jumped out and pointed at her nose and shouted, I am against this relationship .

After the car drove out of Pei's house, Hua Jin said, "I thought you would like me to stay like an auntie."

"I want you to stay, but I know you won't stay, so if it makes you embarrassed, I won't say it." Pei Yan snorted, "You are my woman, if you raise your brow, I can do it. Guess what you want to do."

"Then guess what, what am I thinking now?"

"You're thinking... How can there be such a good man in the world? To have such a boyfriend is a blessing in my 18th life. I must keep a close eye on him and not give other women the slightest chance."

"Be good a child, if you say shameless, you will be shameless." Hua Jin was amused by Pei Yan's words, "I was thinking, how can I have such a cheeky boyfriend, I am afraid no one in this world can stand it except me. In order to prevent him from being alone for a lifetime, I can only do good deeds, do good deeds, and keep him in my heart for the rest of my life. Don’t let him have nowhere to turn to, no place to rely on.”

"Here," Hua Jin pointed to her chest, "it's too small to fit a shameless man."

Pei Yan parked the car on the side of the road and unfastened his seat belt.

"How do you..."

Her lips were covered with gentle lips, Hua Jin slowly closed her eyes, and put her backhand around Pei Yan's back.

"Hua Jin, have you seen "Farewell My Concubine"?" Pei Yan's voice was hoarse, and the hot air he spit out gently blew Hua Jin, making her feel a little numb, "say a lifetime, a month, a day. For a lifetime. As a successor of intangible cultural heritage, you have to count your words, or I will never finish with you."

Hua Jin smiled: "Okay, words count."

Pei Yan: "Swear on your status as a heir of intangible cultural heritage."

"Okay, I swear." Hua Jin buried in Pei Yan's chest and laughed out loud, "I like Pei Yanyan the most in my life, I only like Pei Yanyan, and I will never change my mind."

"I... believe you." Pei Yan used the flower brocade tightly, "When we are old, when you become a world-renowned Shu embroidery master, I hope that when people mention you, they will know that this master's husband is named Pei. feast."

The night was cold as water, Hua Jin touched Pei Yan's soft earlobe, but felt that her heart was softer than his earlobe. If possible, she would like to accompany him all his life, to accompany him through every period of his life, to accompany him to watch the flowers bloom and snow fall, and to see the beauty of the world.

That must be the most beautiful thing in the world.

The next morning, Hua Jin arrived at the store very early and found that Tan Yuan had a cold, so she rushed her to see the doctor: "until you recover, don't come back, I will beat you up if you dare."

There are not many guests in the morning, and Huajin is not busy while embroidering and greeting guests. At noon, Pei Yan arranged for someone to deliver a nutritious meal. She just ate a few chopsticks when an elderly guest came to her door.

"Welcome." She quickly put the lid on the food, rinsed her mouth with water, and then quickly stepped forward to greet the guests, "What do you need?"

"I want the embroiderer to embroider a few words for me." The old man was leaning on a cane in his hand, dressed in ordinary clothes, but his eyes were clear.

"Words?" Hua Jin smiled, "Of course you can, what are the words?"

"Harmony, benevolence, kindness." The old man looked at Huajin. "The most important thing in getting along with people is harmony. In being a human being, the most important thing is benevolence, righteousness and kindness. Flower embroiderer, are you right?"

Was it someone who knew her

Hua Jin made sure that she had never seen the old man, and she smiled politely: "People treat me with kindness, and I return it with kindness. This is human nature. Please sit down, guests, and I will pour you tea."

"No need." The old man saw that the shop was small, but the embroidery products were exquisite and beautiful, so he had less prejudice against Huajin and more appreciation: "I heard that the unsatisfactory junior in the family had an unpleasant encounter with the flower embroiderer. , I'm here to apologize to you on their behalf."

"I don't know what your surname is?" Hua Jin's smile faded.

"My surname is Xu, it is Xu Si and Xu Changhui's grandfather." Elder Xu was old, but he had to apologize for the mistakes his grandchildren made. The embroiderer was wronged."

"Aggrieved?" Hua Jin smiled vaguely, "Mr. Xu and Miss Xu are from a prestigious family, so how can I be wronged, Mr. Xu is serious."

"I don't know how the embroidery master is willing to forgive the mistakes they made?" Elder Xu sighed, "There are thousands of mistakes, all of which are the fault of our elders and spoiled them."

Hua Jin sneered, yes, they made a mistake, but it was just an elder spoiled. And do those who have been hurt by them deserve it

The author has something to say: Note: The lines of the movie "Farewell My Concubine": A good deal is a lifetime, a year less, a month, a day, an hour, not a lifetime! In the article, Pei Yan said, "A lifetime is good, a month is short, and a day is not a lifetime." It comes from here and has been modified.

Pei Yan: Don't care about what you once owned, only care about eternity. I knew that I was the most important man.
