Seeing that Hua Jin did not receive the red envelope, the person on the other side was not happy.
It's not too cold in winter: Teacher, you can take it, it's just my heart.
What else can Hua Jin do? Of course, she can only satisfy the wishes of the other party. She likes the style of customers who are rich and never stingy. After learning embroidery with Aunt Gao over the years, she has met all kinds of customers, and some people even yelled at them because of the high price, saying that it was something made of a few pieces of rags and a few threads, and the price was so high, I really wanted money. crazy etc.
Being willing to give money doesn't mean how much respect you have for her profession, but if you don't want to spend a dime and scold her for cheating money, there must be no respect for her.
With the changes of the times, the stitches of embroidery may not change much, but the aesthetic style will change. Aunt Gao said that the history of Shu embroidery for so many years has been changing with the preferences of the people. The patterns that were popular in the past are not necessarily popular now, and the patterns that are most popular now may not be in the limelight a few decades ago.
Most of Hua Jinxue's stitches have been improved over the generations. She really doesn't know enough about the formations and embroidery styles of 70 or 80 years ago.
The next morning, she got up to go to Aunt Gao's house, and when she went downstairs, she ran into Mrs. Chen who came back from grocery shopping.
"Xiaohua." When Mrs. Chen saw Huajin, she reached out and waved to her.
Hua Jin looked at the old lady's face with "I have gossip here, you must come and listen", sighed secretly, and walked to the old lady Chen.
"Yesterday... The one next door to you was a matchmaker?" Mrs. Chen said mysteriously, "Don't listen to her nonsense, her family's relatives can have anything to do with them, and if they are really promising, they can still let her live. Here? Why don't I tell you about my side, there are not only several houses at home, but also honest people, isn't it more reliable than the boy she introduced?"
Hua Jin: "… "
She only knew that old lady Chen and Sister Qin had a bad relationship, but she didn't expect to compete secretly in this regard.
"Grandma Chen, I still have something to do. Let's go first." If you stay longer, the old lady can chat with her for an hour.
"Hey..." Mrs. Chen didn't expect Hua Jin to be in such a hurry. Seeing her walking too fast, she put her feet up to look at her back. "My knees are bad, and I still run so fast..."
When Hua Jin came to the house of Aunt Gao, who taught her embroidery, Gao Shulan was watering the flowers on the balcony, and Uncle Tan was reading with glasses. Seeing her coming, the two elders were very happy and greeted her to sit down.
The second old man has only one daughter, Tan Yuan, and Hua Jin has been with them all year round, which is equivalent to half a daughter.
"Next time you come over to buy something, I won't let you in." Gao Shulan put melon and fruit desserts in front of Huajin while accusing Huajin of spending money, "I heard Yuanyuan say that you spent a lot of time in the past. A lot of hard work made a dragon and phoenix quilt?"
"Yeah." Hua Jin nodded slightly, looking at her a little embarrassed. Aunt Gao has always emphasized that the real art of embroidery is to strive for perfection. It took her less than a month to make the dragon and phoenix quilt, which is really not perfect.
"I know what happened, you did a good job in this matter." Gao Shulan did not blame her, but was very pleased, "Art and life are not in conflict, you can grasp an accurate degree in this matter. ,I am very happy."
Hua Jin looked up and saw Gao Shulan smiling at her. She smiled helplessly, "In that situation at that time, there was really no other way than rushing to make it overnight."
Gao Shulan has always regretted not being able to meet Hua Jin as a good apprentice earlier. She believes that Hua Jin's talent in embroidery will far exceed her. Although the two of them have been mentors and apprentices over the years, she doesn't like Hua Jin respectfully calling her teacher. She and Hua Jin are not only masters and apprentices, but also relatives and friends. Her concept and persistence in embroidery are not well understood by her husband and her daughter is not talented enough. Only Hua Jin has completely inherited her ideas. , and is more adaptable to the current environment than she is.
"Be kind and not pedantic, this is a virtue." Having said that, Gao Shulan glanced at her wife. Tan Qing knew that he was disliked again, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Xiaohua is here, can you take out the things that the old lady made
Hua Jin chatted with Gao Shulan about trivial matters, and then mentioned the style of panda embroidery 70 years ago.
"Panda embroidery is one of the representatives of our Shu embroidery. Although there have been changes in recent years, there is not much difference in stitching." Gao Shulan got up and went to the study to pull out a photo album, "There are photos of exquisite Shu embroidery over the years. , the earliest works were born in the 1920s, but unfortunately the photos were in black and white, which could not highlight the characteristics of our Shu embroidery.”
Hua Jin took the old but well-cleaned photo album, flipped through it lightly, and found two panda embroidery in it. The style is indeed different from the style that young people like now.
The panda in the photo is mellow and mighty, but some panda embroidery now has a more naive look in order to meet the current preferences.
But the nurse who sacrificed for the country did not embroider the handkerchief for herself, but for her daughter who was only a few years old. When she embroidered the panda, would she embroider the panda more in line with the aesthetics of the child
Hua Jin couldn't make up his mind, and contacted "Winter is not too cold" again. After asking about his grandmother's ancestral home, he began to check the local customs information.
Different counties and cities have different customs, let alone a place as big as Shucheng, there are also differences in hobbies and taboos.
After checking the information for a few days, Hua Jin was unable to place the needle accurately. Later, Gao Shulan couldn't stand it anymore, so she called her home and persuaded her: "It's useless to read the information blindly, why don't you go for a walk in the local area? , go to ask the local elders, maybe the harvest will be even greater."
Seeing that Hua Jin did not speak, Gao Shulan gave Hua Jin an address: "This embroiderer is best at panda embroidery, and I had some friendship with her back then. Her ancestral home happens to be in this city. If you want to go to the local area to learn about the situation, You can visit her."
After taking the address, Hua Jin bit her lip: "Aunt Gao, I..."
After she escaped from that village at the age of seventeen, she had not been to Shucheng for nearly eight years. Although she knew in her heart that her hometown was only a small remote mountain village in Shucheng, as long as she heard the familiar accent, she could recall the past. of dark memories.
"Little Jin." Gao Shulan touched the top of her head gently, "If you look forward, you will become one of the best Shu embroidery masters in the future. Only by breaking through the bottleneck can you make progress. I think you know it yourself. For a year, your embroidery skills have stagnated."
The paper on which the address was written was pinched by Hua Jin. She took a few deep breaths and looked up at Gao Shulan's encouraging gentle eyes: "Aunt Gao, I understand."
"But don't force yourself." Gao Shulan smiled, "Life is only a few decades, and the most important thing is to live happily."
Hua Jin forced a smile: "You are right."
The most important thing is to live a happy life. Only by breaking through the bottleneck can we make progress.
A few days later, I have been paying attention to Huajin Weibo, which is not too cold in winter. I found that the blogger named "Fanhua" finally updated Weibo. This time, the photos she sent were not embroidery, but majestic Qingshan, and the beautiful Shucheng International Airport.
Fanhua: Eight years later, I am still a beautiful girl when I return.
Shucheng International Airport is located in Furong City, the provincial capital. Hua Jin stood at the gate of the airport where people came and went, and was instantly surrounded by fresh popularity.
After queuing up for a taxi, the taxi driver was a very upright person, telling her not to go to the flashy restaurant to eat, not only expensive but also average, local people do not go.
Listening to the familiar voice of Shu and looking at the high-rise buildings outside the car window, Hua Jin recalled that she had fantasized about what Furong City was like when she was a child, but the real Furong City was much more prosperous than she imagined.
"Is your sister here to travel?" The uncle driver saw that Hua Jin was interested in the scenery of Furong City, and introduced her to a few places, "But you are a girl alone outside, so you need to choose a better hotel, it's safe. "
Hua Jin smiled and thanked.
The driver took her to the door of the hotel, helped her carry her suitcase up the door steps, and left happily. It should be said that this uncle never lost his smile from beginning to end.
Walking into the hotel door, Hua Jin handed the ID card to the front desk.
"Are you... Hua Jin?" A young man who was also going through the housing procedures stared at her for a long time, "Is it Hua Jin?"
Hua Jin turned to look at him calmly: "I'm sorry, you made a mistake."
"I'm sorry." The young man looked a little embarrassed, "You look a bit like my high school classmates, so..."
"It doesn't matter." Hua Jin took the room card from the front desk staff and smiled, "I am a public face, and it is normal to be mistaken."
The young man laughed, and it was really unconvincing for such a beautiful girl to say that she was a popular face. But thinking of the girl in the class who had excellent grades, but somehow didn't take the college entrance examination, he felt a little bored.
In their small place, the college entrance examination is the only way out for many girls. His classmate's grades were so good that even the teacher said that she would definitely be admitted to a famous university, but on the day of the college entrance examination, she did not come to participate. Later, there were rumors that Hua Jin's family didn't want her to go to university, so they didn't let her take the exam. Later, there were rumors that Hua Jin was going to marry, and the family of the married person was rich.
He didn't know if the rumor was true or not, because no one had seen her since then.
Looking at the young woman who was already dragging her suitcase towards the elevator, the young man shook his head secretly.
Hua Jin looks dark and thin, not as beautiful as this lady.
The author has something to say: Hua Jin: I am the face of the public, the face of the public, I laughed.
