When embroidering the longevity belt, Hua Jin embroidered it very slowly. After looking at it for a long time, Tan Yuan realized that Hua Jin had used a dark thread similar to the red color to embroider the almost invisible word "longevity" on the belt.
"Huahua, they don't understand, what are you doing with this embroidery?" Tan Yuan saw that the word "Shou" was fused with the belt fabric using the old-fashioned hidden needle technique, "Even if the guests saw it, they would just think This is printed on the fabric."
"This is a blessing belt. Elderly wives wish their husbands good health and longevity." Hua Jin smiled and said, "What I embroidered is not a belt, but a blessing."
Tan Yuan was stunned for a moment, but instead of saying that Hua Jin was unnecessary, he nodded: "So that's what happened."
"When I was a child, my grandma was very kind to me. She would secretly save money to buy me beautiful socks and headbands." Huajin's embroidery hand did not stop, but her tone was filled with nostalgia, "I had good grades, almost every time I always ranked first in the class in the final exam. Whenever this happened, my grandma would go to the county town to bring me delicious food."
For her at that time, two or three flower rolls for fifty cents, and melon seeds for five cents and two taels were both supreme delicacies. Now she has eaten countless famous snacks, but what she remembers most clearly is the anticipation and excitement when she was waiting for her grandma to come back from the county town.
Salty melon seeds, after she ate the melon seed kernels, she had to desperately **** the salt on the shell before spitting them out.
When grandma is sick, if she is rich and strong enough, she can send her to the best hospital for treatment so that she can live a long life. In all her life, her father did not kiss her, and her mother did not love her. Only her grandmother regarded her as a baby, but she could only watch her grandmother suffer from illness and die.
Tan Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. She gently put her hand on Hua Jin's shoulder: "Hua Hua..." She didn't know how to comfort her. She finally understood why Hua Jin was particularly patient with certain guests.
"It's okay, I'm just talking nonsense." Unexpectedly, Tan Yuan was even sadder than the person involved, so Hua Jin couldn't help but smile, "It's not like you don't know that the uncle and the aunt had a relationship with me. , I certainly hope that both of them will live long lives and be free from illness and disaster."
"I don't know what your aura is like, but the older customers who come to the store like you very much." Tan Yuan touched her face, "Don't they all say that round faces are more popular with the elders? Why does this law become invalid after it is applied to me?"
"You are also very popular with the elderly. I don't want to think about how many old people saw you and bought lacquerware back home?" Hua Jin stopped embroidery, reached out and pinched Tan Yuan's soft and smooth face: " How many red envelopes do your relatives give you every year? It’s not like me, a lonely person, who relies on your red envelope income to eat a big meal every year.”
"Who told you to indulge in happiness? I accepted the red envelope and invited you to dinner, which can be regarded as letting you enjoy the happiness." Tan Yuan touched her soft chin, "It seems that the happiness you indulge in is very useful. When you get married to Mr. Pei, you must give me a huge red envelope, and I will come back with you."
Hua Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."
"Just as he was saying it, he came." Tan Yuan raised his chin toward the window, "The time is really accurate. He showed up just after six o'clock in the afternoon, not even a second late."
"You've worked hard to look after the store these days." Hua Jin picked up the bag and blew a kiss to Tan Yuan, "I'll treat you to a big dinner in two days."
"Go, go, I'm watching the store, don't worry." Tan Yuan waved her hand and drove her out, "You used to help me look after the store, but I finally have the opportunity to help you. My mother will criticize you in the future. When I was young, I could straighten my back."
Looking at Hua Jin trotting out, Mr. Pei frowned and supported her, staring at her knees and saying something, and Tan Yuan couldn't help but smile. If Hua Jin could find someone who loved her and cared about her, she would be willing to let her go to the store for a few more days or lose a few pounds.
Thinking of this, she clasped her hands together and whispered to a koi embroidered screen: "Koi koi, please bless Huahua's relationship to go well. If her wish comes true, I am willing to lose five pounds." She touched her waist. Meat, this wish... is simply killing two birds with one stone.
"Hua Jin, how many times have I told you, don't run when wearing high heels, don't run." Pei Yan muttered while bending down to buckle Hua Jin's seat belt, "Do you want to **** me off to death? , to be a widow?"
"You are thinking too much," Hua Jin whispered, "I haven't married you yet, so why are you a widow?"
Pei Yan: "..."
"It seems you really want to **** me off."
"You can't blame me."
"Is it my fault?"
"Yes, if you weren't so charming, I would want to get close to you when I saw you, so why would I run away?" Hua Jin confidently stretched out her index finger to poke Pei Yan's chest, "You know what Lan Yan is?" What a disaster, it’s just you.”
Pei Yan's face turned red when she poked him. He didn't know whether he was angry or because of something else.
He pinched Hua Jin's index finger: "Don't make trouble, I'm ready to drive."
"Oh." Hua Jin took her fingers out of Pei Yan's palm, put them on her knees and sat up straight, "Where are we going to eat tonight?"
"I hired a cook a few days ago. He is very good at cooking and simmering soup. The soup he makes is delicious and delicious, making people salivate. Do you want to try it?" Pei Yan turned to look at her.
"Going to your house?" Hua Jin turned to look at Pei Yan's beautiful eyes, "Where do you live now?"
"Yeah." 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 what Pei Yan had not finished saying, "I haven't been to your house yet."
Unexpectedly, Hua Jin would agree so quickly. Pei Yan's eyes overflowed with smiles: "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. In the future, We can work out together, play games~IndoMTL.com~plant 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 being loved and had the ability to treat her well.
He didn't say "my family", but "home" and "us". In his future life plans, there is him and her.
During this relationship, Hua Jin always thought that she was the one who felt insecure, but now she suddenly discovered that Pei Yan was also afraid and worried.
Did her attitude affect him and make him uneasy?
The car drove into Pei Yan's home. Hua Jin looked at the green and lush garden with a literary and artistic atmosphere, and said with emotion: "It's so beautiful here."
"My mother designed the garden, and I haven't modified the layout since she and my father passed away." Pei Yan drove the car into the garage, "If you don't like it, you can ask a gardener to modify it in the future."
"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 make changes. We will buy a new suite in the future and the garden will be built according to your standards."
Out of the garage, Hua Jin looked at this strange place, thinking of the old shabby building where she lived, and inexplicably felt that she looked a bit like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden, and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Pei Yan held her hand, "Why do you look so stupid?"
"Thinking about finding such a great boyfriend, I laughed out loud with joy." Hua Jin shook Pei Yan's arm, "I'm happy."
"Then you should be happy. A good man like me should be held on tightly and never lose it." Pei Yan held Hua Jin's hand tightly and walked home step by step, "If you yourself If you accidentally lose it, just stand there and wait for me to come back to find you."
"Okay." Hua Jin lowered his head and smiled, "If I accidentally lose myself, you must come find me."
The dinner was as delicious as Pei Yan said. After the meal, the maid and aunt brought fruit, and the two of them took the fruit to the movie room to watch a movie. Hua Jin discovered that there were many genuine DVDs in this room specially used for watching TV, including cartoons that children liked to watch, as well as world classic movies.
"Is there anything you like to watch?" Pei Yan put the fruit on the table and watched Hua Jin stare at the cabinet with the discs in a daze. "If you don't like it, you can go to the video website to check it out."
Hua Jin flipped through a disc and put it into the player.
This is a literary film with a beautiful title, but a very sad and despairing story. A girl who longed 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 person she once hated the most.
The ending of the story is that several young backpackers passed by the village and asked for directions from the heroine with a face full of vicissitudes of life. Watching the backpacker slowly walk away, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the heroine's eyes, which eventually dimmed again.
"What's it like outside?"
Looking at the darkened projection wall, Hua Jin felt a lump in her throat. She glanced at the time: "It's getting late, I should go back."
"I'll give it to you." Pei Yan knew that she was in a bad mood. In fact, shortly after the movie started, Pei Yan wanted to change the disc to watch, but Hua Jin didn't agree.
Seeing that Hua Jin was about to leave, the maid couldn't help but said: "It's so late, Miss Hua can stay here, I've already packed the guest room." Mr. Pei is also serious, how can he leave his girlfriend alone so late at night? Delivered outside?
"Thank you, but I have some things at home that I need to use when I go to work tomorrow." Hua Jin declined the helper's kindness and walked to the door to put on her shoes, "Goodbye, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
"No, no," the maid said, "This is the first time Mr. Pei brings a girl home. We have no experience in entertaining her. If there is anything wrong with the reception, please don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, Hua Jin turned around and smiled at Pei Yan, feeling that everyone in the world wanted to tell her that she was Pei Yan's first girlfriend and the only person he brought home.
As an ordinary person who hugs the wealthy, her treatment is much better than that of the heroine of an idol drama. No one close to Pei Yan jumped out, pointed at her nose and shouted, I object This love affair.
After the car drove out of Pei's house, Hua Jin said, "I thought you would be like a maid, wanting me to stay."
"I want you to stay, but I know you won't stay, so if I make it difficult for you, I won't say anything." Pei Yan chuckled, "You are my woman, you raised your eyebrows, I can guess what you want to do."
"Guess, what am I thinking about now?"
"You are thinking... How can there be such a good man in the world? I am lucky to have such a boyfriend in my eighteenth life. I must keep a close eye on him and not give other women a chance. ”
"Be a good child, and be shameless if you say you are shameless." Hua Jin was amused by Pei Yan's words, "I was thinking, why do I have such a shameless boyfriend? I'm afraid there is no one else in the world except me. People can stand him. In order to prevent him from being lonely all his life, I can only do good deeds and be kind to him, and keep him in my heart for the rest of my life. I will not let him have nowhere to rely on and no place to rely on."
"Here," Hua Jin pointed to her chest, "it's too small and can only house a shameless man."
Pei Yan parked the car on the side of the road and took off his seat belt.
"How did you..."
With her lips covered by 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 breath blew gently over Hua Jin, making her feel a little numb. A day is not a lifetime. As a heir of intangible cultural heritage, you must keep your word, otherwise I will never be done with you."
Hua Jin smiled: "Okay, keep your word."
Pei Yan: "Swear on your identity as the heir of intangible cultural heritage."
"Okay, I swear." Hua Jin buried her head in Pei Yanyan's chest and laughed out loud, "I love Pei Yanyan the most in my life, I only like Pei Yanyan, and I will never change my heart."
"I...believe you." Pei Yan firmly relied on Hua Jin, "When we are old and when you become a world-famous Shu embroidery master, I hope that when others mention you, they will know that this master is My husband’s name is Pei Yan.”
The night was as cold as water. Hua Jin touched Pei Yan's soft earlobe, but felt that her heart was softer than his earlobe. If possible, she wanted to accompany him throughout his life, accompany him through every period of his life, accompany him to watch flowers bloom and snow fall, and see all the beauty in the world.
That must be the most beautiful thing in the world.
The next morning, Hua Jin rushed to the store very early and found that Tan Yuan had a cold, so he rushed her to see a doctor: "Don't come back until you recover. I will beat you if you dare to come back."
There were not many guests in the morning. Hua Jin was doing embroidery and greeting the guests, so it was not too busy. At noon, Pei Yan arranged for someone to deliver a nutritious meal. She had just eaten a few chopsticks when an elderly customer came to the door.
"Welcome." She quickly covered 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 some words for me." The old man was holding a cane in his hand. He was wearing ordinary clothes but his eyes were clear.
"Words?" Hua Jin said with a smile, "Of course, what are the characters?"
"Harmony, benevolence and kindness." The old man looked at Hua Jin, "The most important thing when getting along with others is kindness. The most important thing in being a human being is benevolence, righteousness and kindness. Hua Embroidery Master, are you right?"
It turned out to be someone who knew her?
Hua Jin was sure that she had never seen this old man before. She smiled politely and said, "When people treat me kindly, I will treat them kindly in return. This is human nature. Guest, please sit down and I will pour you tea."
"No need." The old man saw that the store was not large but the embroidery was very delicate and beautiful. He became less prejudiced and more appreciative of the flower brocade: "I heard that the younger generation and the flower embroidery master in the family were not living up to expectations. Something unpleasant happened, and I’m here to apologize to you on their behalf.”
"I wonder what your name is, sir?" The smile on Hua Jin's face gradually faded.
"My surname is Xu, I am the grandfather of Xu Si and Xu Changhui." Although Xu was old, he had to apologize to a younger generation for the mistakes his grandchildren had made. Yan, the embroidery master has been wronged."
"Wronged?" Hua Jin laughed with unknown meaning, "Mr. Xu and Miss Xu come from famous families, how could they make me feel wronged? Mr. Xu's words are serious."
"I wonder how the flower embroidery master can be willing to forgive the mistakes they made?" Mr. Xu sighed, "There are thousands of mistakes. It's all our fault as elders and we have spoiled them."
Hua Jin sneered, yes, they made a mistake, but they were just spoiled by their elders. And do those who have been harmed by them deserve it?
