It's only been two months, and if you were to say that these girls have changed a lot, actually there isn't.
But when they were in the village, they were inevitably exposed to the sun, so they were darker. After being covered in the embroidery workshop for two months, their skin became much whiter.
Another thing is dressing.
Jin Xiaoye runs an embroidery workshop herself, so it is impossible for her to make ugly clothes for these girls.
Although the materials of the skirts these girls wear are not very good, the colors are bright and the styles are novel.
When people in Miaoqian Village make clothes, they always think that as long as they are wearable, they are fine. They will choose the cheapest and most stain-resistant fabrics. The clothes they make are like sackcloth bags, as ugly as they can be. But even so, there are still people who don't even have a set of clothes without patches.
If they were beautiful women, they would look good in anything they wore, but these girls are not beautiful women.
Now they are whiter and fatter. They return to the village wearing new clothes and putting rouge on their lips. They give people a different feeling.
"A Xiu, you look better now."
"Hong'er, uncle almost doesn't recognize you anymore!"
"Xiao Cao, come and show me!"
…
The villagers gathered around the girls and talked non-stop. Someone noticed that not all the girls had returned, so he asked Jin Xiaoshu where the others were.
Jin Xiaoshu said, "My boat can't hold so many people. The others will come back tomorrow." In fact, the girls didn't want to come back, but he didn't say it.
So that's how it is! Someone else asked, "Why did they come back suddenly?"
"My brother-in-law took the exam in the provincial capital and got the first place again. My sister wanted to go back to the village to hold a banquet, so she asked them to come back as well." Jin Xiaoshu looked proud.
Jin Xiaoshu knew yesterday that Li Qingzhi had won the first place in the provincial examination again.
But when he came back yesterday, it was already very late, and he didn't meet anyone on the way home... Jin Xiaoshu was not the kind of person like Li Laogen who would go to other people's homes to show off, so he only told his parents.
But just because he doesn't go to other people's homes to show off doesn't mean he doesn't want to show off.
My brother-in-law is so capable, I must tell others about him.
"The results of the prefectural examination are out?"
"Li Qingzhi is the first again?"
"Oh my god, he took the exam in the capital and got the first place again!"
"Li Qingzhi is so amazing!"
"Your sister is going to hold a banquet?"
…
The villagers gathered around Jin Xiaoshu and started asking questions.
Jin Xiaoshu answered one by one, with a proud look on his face.
The villagers were also proud that someone from their village had taken the first place in the government examination. How impressive! They felt very proud when they went out and talked to others.
"It's said that Li Qingzhi is the god of literature who has descended to earth. It turns out to be true."
"How come Li Laogen is so lucky!"
"Xiaoshu, you actually got the news yesterday, why didn't you tell us then?"
"Your mother is really something. She stayed in the village all day today and refused to say anything."
…
After asking about Li Qingzhi, they went on to ask the girls working in the Jinye Embroidery Workshop how they were doing in the workshop.
Some people had indeed visited them in the county town before, but the embroidery workshop was very busy and they felt embarrassed to stay longer, so they just chatted with their daughter for a few words and then left.
I didn’t hear those people say that these girls have new clothes to wear!
