Feng Ruoruo and her grandparents were in Granny Liu's shop and saw Sister Shen Qingluo greeting customers.
Perhaps it was because Shen Qingluo was very beautiful, and because she was wearing Hanfu, she naturally attracted many people on the street to come and see.
Seeing some of the embroidery on Shen Qingluo's clothes seemed very similar to the embroidery in the shop, many people felt very curious.
Shen Qingluo also tried her best to help and greet customers. She used her relatively basic knowledge of embroidery to try her best to carefully introduce the characteristics of each piece of embroidery to every customer who came into the shop.
This knowledge about embroidery is still very advanced for ordinary people.
Although I couldn't understand many parts, listening to Shen Qingluo's introduction while wearing Hanfu made me feel very impressive.
For example, what kind of needlework is needed for a certain piece of embroidery, or what kind of threads are used, or what material the embroidery itself is made of. As a fashion designer who has studied for many years, Shen Qingluo has some understanding of these things.
It may also be because she does a lot of related work in her daily life, so when she introduces her to people here, she always gives others a sense of trustworthiness.
Feng Ruoruo didn't quite understand either, but she watched the elder sister introducing it to others, and she spoke so clearly and logically that the little girl thought the elder sister was very amazing.
Finally, someone seemed to be convinced by Shen Qingluo's introduction and started to pay for the product after asking the price.
Feng Ruoruo suddenly came to her senses, reached out and grabbed her grandparents and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, let's go back quickly."
Lu Cuiling was listening to Shen Qingluo's introductions and was a little fascinated. Suddenly, she was pulled by her granddaughter, who was also yelling that she wanted to go back, which made Lu Cuiling feel a little strange.
"What's the matter? Why do you want to go back?"
Feng Ruoruo said seriously: "Grandma, we have to go back quickly, otherwise Dad and Mom will be too busy."
Feng Jiandong could see through his granddaughter's thoughts: "Our Ruoruo is worried that there will be too many guests and mom and dad will be too busy to handle it, so they asked us to go back to help."
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "Grandpa is wrong. It's Ruoruo who needs to go back to help. Mom and Dad need Ruoruo to help them greet the guests and pass the menus to them, otherwise they will make a mess."
Seeing their little granddaughter speaking like an adult made Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling so happy that they could hardly stop smiling.
At this moment, Liu Wanhua, who was behind the screen, heard the voice and came out and said, "Well, our Ruoruo is right. We have to go back and watch it, otherwise mom and dad will make a mess, which will really embarrass our Ruoruo."
Feng Ruoruo's face was full of seriousness. When she saw Granny Liu coming out, she said, "Granny Liu, bye, you have to eat well and don't let Ruoruo worry."
After hearing what the little girl said, Liu Wanhua immediately became happy too.
"Oh my, little girl, you are really good at talking. I'm sorry, Granny Liu, for making Ruoruo worry about her."
Feng Ruoruo nodded, then sighed like an adult, then pulled her grandparents and said, "Okay, let's go home quickly. I wonder how busy mom and dad are."
Lu Cuiling was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She was pulled out by her granddaughter and did not forget to turn back to say goodbye to Liu Wanhua and Shen Qingluo.
"Sister Liu, and Qing Luo, we will be going back first. Remember to come over for dinner when you are done."
Liu Wanhua also smiled and waved goodbye. Shen Qingluo also poked his head out of the shop and responded, "Okay, Grandpa and Grandma, take care. Bye, Ruoruo."
When Feng Ruoruo heard her sister saying goodbye, she turned around and waved goodbye to her sister.
After seeing Feng Ruoruo and her grandparents off, Liu Wanhua walked up to the guests and introduced them to everyone with a smile.
In the end, after some bargaining, several pieces of embroidery were successfully sold, which made Liu Wanhua very happy.
Looking at Shen Qingluo standing in the shop, especially when she smiled happily, Liu Wanhua seemed to see someone vaguely.
That person was one of Liu Wanhua’s senior sisters, but could also be considered Liu Wanhua’s master.
In a trance, Liu Wanhua seemed to see her shadow in Shen Qingluo.
Many times, Liu Wanhua wanted to ask the young girl in front of her whether she had any relationship with her senior sister
But when the words came to her lips, Liu Wanhua swallowed them back. It seemed that because she had too much expectation in her heart, she didn't dare to ask out loud, fearing that she would get a disappointing result.
While Shen Qingluo was happy, he discovered that Liu Wanhua was always looking at her carefully.
This is related to Liu Wanhua's curiosity and surprise about the embroidery on her body.
Shen Qingluo couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Liu Wanhua would know his grandmother
But my grandma went abroad with her parents when she was in middle school, and she has lived abroad ever since, and she has hardly ever returned to China. Judging from the time, it seems that it is not appropriate for her to have a connection with this old lady because of embroidery
Shen Qingluo thought about it seriously and suddenly remembered that her grandmother once said that she learned embroidery skills from her mother.
Shen Qingluo immediately had an idea. Could it be that Liu Wanhua knew her grandmother's mother? Her great-grandmother
Thinking of this, Shen Qingluo finally asked: "Mother-in-law, do you know Liu Qingru?"
Hearing the name Shen Qingluo said, Liu Wanhua was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young girl in front of her with some excitement and asked: "You, do you know Liu Qingru? What is your relationship?"
Shen Qingluo saw that Liu Wanhua was very excited, and quickly comforted her: "Mother-in-law, don't be excited."
After comforting her, Shen Qingluo said, "Liu Qingru is my grandmother's mother, and she is my great grandmother, but I have never met her. When I was born, she had passed away for many years. My grandmother taught me the embroidery skill, and she learned it from her mother."
After listening to Shen Qingluo's words, Liu Wanhua finally understood and put everything together.
Liu Wanhua sighed and said, "I see. I've always been curious. The stitching and line work on your embroidery are very similar to that of my senior sister. I was just wondering if you were her granddaughter, but the age didn't seem to match."
According to what Shen Qingluo said, it does match up completely.
When Liu Wanhua looked at the senior sister, she was the same age as Shen Qingluo is now, just as immature.
At that time, Shen Qingluo's great-grandmother Liu Qingru was already a well-known figure in the domestic embroidery industry.
Liu Wanhua, who entered the state-owned embroidery factory, was originally going to become an apprentice to a master, but because the master was old, he asked Liu Qingru, the senior sister, to teach Liu Wanhua on behalf of the master.
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "I've seen your grandma, too. She looked a lot like you when she was little. I often went to play at Senior Sister's house and would always bring her out to play. When I got my salary, I would secretly take her to Su Ji for dinner."
Shen Qingluo suddenly realized and said, "Ah, I know. Mother-in-law, you are the one my grandma mentioned, Sister Wanhua, right?"
Liu Wanhua nodded: "Yes, your grandma liked to call me that at that time. Is she okay now?"
Speaking of grandma, Shen Qingluo said with some sadness: "Grandma passed away abroad two years ago. She always wanted to come back, but she never had the chance. So I came back to China to fulfill her wish."
After hearing this, Liu Wanhua turned pale instantly, swayed her body and staggered a few steps backwards, as if she was about to fall.
Shen Qingluo quickly reached out to support her and asked with concern: "Grandma Wanhua, are you okay?"
Liu Wanhua took a long time to come back to her senses. She shook her head and sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect Xiao Luo to be gone."
It seemed like a plain sentence, but it was full of vicissitudes and helplessness. In a trance, Liu Wanhua could still see herself in her early 20s, playing with that teenage girl on the old street.
Every time the factory paid wages, Liu Wanhua would take her sister to Su Ji for a big meal.
If the eldest sister found out, she would scold her daughter. She would also educate Liu Wanhua, telling her that she was still an apprentice and her salary was very low, so she should not spend it carelessly and should not always take her daughter out to eat.
But now, the old street is still there, the taste of Su Ji remains, but the people of that time are no longer with us.
After a moment's silence, Liu Wanhua finally calmed down.
Seeing Shen Qingluo's concerned look, the old lady forced a smile, but tears were already rolling down her cheeks. She opened her arms and hugged Shen Qingluo.
At this moment, Liu Wanhua seemed to have returned to her youth, running on the old street holding the little sister's hand.
Shen Qingluo also hugged the old lady tightly. She came back from abroad this time for two very important purposes.
One is to taste the flavor of the restaurant that my grandma always missed.
The second is to find her. Grandma also misses her. She was the elder sister who always played with her when she was a child and would secretly take her to Su Ji for a big meal every month when she got her salary without telling her parents.
Now, Shen Qingluo was a little excited. She actually fulfilled both wishes in just one afternoon.
But now that he saw "Sister Wanhua" as the grandma called her, and the two of them hugged each other, Shen Qingluo couldn't help but feel very sad.
They hugged each other for quite a while. Then a new customer came to the shop and seemed a little embarrassed to disturb the "grandparents and grandchildren".
Shen Qingluo quickly came to her senses and took the initiative to help greet the customers who came in, warmly welcoming them and recommending the various embroidery products in Liu Wanhua's shop to them.
Seeing Shen Qingluo's enthusiastic look, Liu Wanhua felt more and more that she had the shadow of the senior sister and Xiaoluo sister.
After being stunned for a while, Liu Wanhua took the initiative to step forward and help Shen Qingluo introduce the guests.
Although he was still saddened by the passing of his senior sister and Xiao Luo, he also felt that the arrival of Xiao Luo's granddaughter might be another bond of fate for them.
Feng Ruoruo took her grandparents and trotted back to Su Ji without any rest along the way.
As soon as she entered the house, Feng Ruoruo saw her mother had just finished writing the list and was about to take it to the kitchen to give to her father. The little girl quickly let go of her grandparents and ran over to stop her mother.
"Mom, Ruoruo is back. Give it to Ruoruo. Ruoruo, go get it for Dad."
Su Ruoxi was stopped by her daughter and was a little surprised: "Why did Ruoruo come back so soon?"
Feng Ruoruo took the list from her mother and sighed like an adult, saying, "If Ruoruo doesn't come back, mom and dad will be too busy. With so many people, you will make a mess."
After hearing what her daughter said, Su Ruoxi couldn't help laughing out loud.
She reached out and gently pinched her daughter's cheek: "Little thing, who did you learn these words from? After all this fuss, you are still our housekeeper. Without you, mom and dad would not be able to run the restaurant."
The little girl raised her chin proudly: "Yes, Ruoruo is the housekeeper. Dad, mom, grandpa, grandparents can't do without Ruoruo."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Okay, we can't live without Ruoruo, so go and give Dad the menu quickly."
Feng Ruoruo agreed immediately, turned around and ran quickly to the kitchen.
Su Ruoxi turned around and went back to her parents-in-law and asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, why don't you take Ruoruo out to have some fun? There should be a lot of people on the street today, and there should be a lot of fun things."
Lu Cuiling nodded: "Today there are indeed a lot of people, and there are also many craftsmen. I also saw people making dough figures and blowing sugar figures. But don't you know your daughter? She is only thinking about the business in the store, and she is worried that her parents will not be able to survive without her."
After listening to this, Su Ruoxi felt a little warm in her heart, but at the same time, she felt a little sad, thinking that her daughter couldn't have fun because of their business.
Lu Cuiling reached out and pulled her daughter-in-law over, and said softly to her, "You don't have to blame yourself. In fact, for Ruoruo, helping in the restaurant is just a game she likes very much. She doesn't regard it as a job."
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, they suddenly saw Feng Jiandong going out.
I don’t know how long it took, but Feng Jiandong came back running from outside, holding a dough figurine and a sugar figurine in his hands.
Feng Jiandong held it up for everyone to see and said, "To reward our Ruoruo for being so sensible, Grandpa bought her both the dough figurine and the sugar figurine. We can't let Ruoruo lose to other children."
Seeing the dough and sugar figures in her father-in-law's hands, Su Ruoxi smiled and nodded: "Well, thank you, Dad."
Everyone in the restaurant was waiting for little Feng Ruoruo to come out, and they were happy to see the dough and sugar figures, but the little girl was unwilling to go out in the kitchen because she was chatting with her father and telling him about what happened in Granny Liu's shop.
Dad was busy in the kitchen, and the chatterbox started mumbling to his dad, standing next to the kitchen counter.
"Dad, let me tell you something. I met that beautiful lady wearing Hanfu in Granny Liu's shop. She was amazing. Granny Liu was willing to teach her how to embroider flowers. Granny Liu also said she wanted to teach Ruoruo..."
Listening to his daughter chattering beside him, Feng Yifan was not annoyed at all. He cooked in an orderly manner while listening to his daughter chattering.
From time to time, she would respond to her daughter: "Really? Ruoruo also wants to learn embroidery from Granny Liu?"
With her father's response, Feng Ruoruo became even happier and would work harder.
"Yes, Granny Liu said that she wanted to teach Ruoruo, and that beautiful sister Shen Qingluo, she even used that long leather to measure Ruoruo, saying that she wanted to make Ruoruo clothes as beautiful as hers."
Feng Yifan listened and responded: "Oh? You want to make Hanfu for Ruoruo? Did Ruoruo thank you?"
Feng Ruoruo said immediately, "Yes, and Ruoruo also invited her to have dinner with Granny Liu at our house in the evening. Dad, you have to make something delicious for her in the evening."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, Dad will definitely show off his skills tonight to thank sister for making clothes for Ruoruo."
