Pei Yan panted and glanced over Hua Jin's body to make sure she was not injured before he had the energy to look at the child she was holding. He twitched the corner of his mouth and turned around to leave.
Seeing him leaving, Hua Jin let go of Xiao Hai's hand and ran to Pei Yan: "Mr. Pei, don't walk so fast."
"What are you doing?" Pei Yan raised the arm close to Hua Jin, "If you have anything to say, just say it and don't touch me."
Hua Jin quickly put her hands behind her back: "Why are you here?"
"I'm passing by, can't I?" Pei Yan walked quickly towards the car parked on the roadside. As he got closer, he saw a ticket waving in the wind on the front of the car. He tore off the ticket, opened the door and got in.
Close the car door, turn to look at Hua Jin who is standing outside the passenger window, then open the car door again and get out of the car, saying to Hua Jin: "Have you had breakfast?"
Hua Jin shook his head and blinked at him with his big eyes.
"Get in the car first, I'll take you to have breakfast." He turned to look at Sister Qin and Xiaohai who were still standing at the door of the police station, "Call your friends too."
He still has some impressions of Sister Qin, and he may not be able to forget that unique quarrel in a short time.
Hua Jin went to call Sister Qin. Sister Qin held her son's hand and shook her head in refusal: "I've already troubled you a lot today. I'll take Xiaohai back to eat, so I won't trouble you and your friend." Although she didn't know The identity of this young man, but now he hurried over, obviously thinking that something had happened to Hua Jin, his mouth could deceive, but his eyes could not deceive. Xiaohua has worked hard alone for many years. She has never returned to her hometown during the holidays. She knows that her original family is not good. It would be great if she could meet a man who cares about her in every way.
She looked down at her silent son, stretched out her dry and rough hands, and gently touched the top of his hair, feeling infinite sourness well up in her heart. In her life, she was born without expectations, married without love, lived in a muddle, and even failed to raise her own children. If Xiaohai hadn't disappeared this time, she would never know how she would live.
Hua Jin and her are different.
"Xiaohai, I went home with my mother." Sister Qin sniffed, raised her head and smiled at Hua Jin, "I will set the table at home in two days, and everyone will come to my house for dinner."
Hua Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."
Sister Qin is a woman who is not easy to get along with. It may be because of the divorce and the fact that her parents are not good to her. She is very sensitive. Sometimes when others complain, she feels that others are talking about her, so she talks to the whole house. The people in the rental house are not on good terms, so it is quite rare for her to take the initiative to invite everyone to dinner.
Afraid that Hua Jin would invite her over, Sister Qin took Xiao Hai's hand and left. This time she held Xiao Hai's hand tightly and didn't want to let go for a moment.
Looking at the backs of mother and son, Hua Jin was a little startled. After a long time, she laughed, turned around and found Pei Yan standing behind her at some point. She was so frightened that she jumped back.
Pei Yan stared at her for two seconds: "Am I scary?"
"There is an idiom called "Surprised as a heavenly being. You are so good-looking, I will be very surprised." Hua Jin followed Pei Yan into the car. The mobile phone in her bag rang, and she took it out. At first glance, it was a message from Pineapple Essence.
Dongdong: Flower embroidery master, are you okay? I saw you sitting in the police car this morning. Is there any misunderstanding?
Hua Jin briefly replied to the whole story, put away her phone and looked at Pei Yan: "Did Mr. Yang tell you that I was in the police car?"
"Don't think too much. I just heard what Yang Shao said and came here to see the excitement." Pei Yan looked forward, "I didn't expect you to come out so fast. I didn't see any excitement at all."
Hua Jin’s laughter sounded in the carriage.
Pei Yan's ears turned red: "What's so funny? I've never seen anyone watching the fun?"
"I've seen it before, but I've never seen someone as handsome as you watching the fun." Hua Jin smiled so hard that her eyes gleamed, "If I had known you were coming, I would have put on a lively show in advance even if there was no fun here. Let me show you."
"You woman, do you talk like this to everyone?" Pei Yan stopped the car at the traffic light intersection and stared at Hua Jin, "It's really... It's really..." Looking at Hua Jin's beautiful eyes , Pei Yan couldn't say anything harsh, so he turned his head to the side and ignored her.
"I'm sorry, actually what I want to say to you is thank you." Hua Jin's eyes turned into crescents with a smile, "Thank you for coming."
"I just came to watch the fun."
"I know."
"Are you happy to see the fun?"
"When something happens to me, I'll be happy if someone rushes over."
"You..." Pei Yan turned to look at Hua Jin. Her smile was warm and beautiful, but Pei Yan felt that his chest was so tight and sore that he even felt like reaching out to touch it. The urge to touch her head.
Beep!
The whistle sounded from behind, and Pei Yan came back to his senses and found that the red light had turned green at some point.
Pei Yan took Hua Jin to his favorite breakfast shop. It was no longer the peak breakfast period and there were not many people in the shop.
Looking at the exquisitely shaped breakfast buns, Hua Jin took out her mobile phone to take a picture and said with emotion: "The buns are made so cute, I really can't bear to eat them."
Then she ate a whole portion of steamed buns.
Pei Yan put down his spoon and looked at the empty food box in front of Hua Jin: "I couldn't bear to eat... and you ate it all?"
“Who knew that every single piece of the food on the plate is hard work.” Hua Jin wiped the corner of her mouth, “These ingredients have gone through a lot of hardships in order to turn into beautiful buns. Eating it is the most basic respect for it. Body. For noble human beings, how can I waste their painstaking efforts."
Pei Yan: "..."
It turns out that someone can explain "edible" so beautifully.
"After dinner, shall I take you to the store?"
"No, I have to go home to put on makeup and change clothes." Hua Jin remembered that in the morning, in order to help Sister Qin find a child, her hair was not combed, her makeup was not put on, and she even chose ordinary clothes. She had to go with Teacher Sun in the afternoon. When meeting seniors in the embroidery industry, she couldn't be too casual.
"So serious, who are you going to see?" Pei Yan lowered his head and poked a custard bun in the shape of a little duck with his chopsticks. After a few chopsticks, the little duck turned into several pieces of dough.
"Meeting a very important person." Hua Jin's eyes brightened, "At least I can't let him have a bad impression of me."
"Don't bother me. I have a friend who owns a styling studio. I'll take you there for styling. After lunch, I'll drive you there." Pei Yan put down the chopsticks that were poking at the custard buns. "This is more convenient."
"That's so embarrassing." Hua Jin shook his head, "And there's no need to be so solemn. We're not going to attend an important banquet. I can just go back and pick out some clothes that fit me."
Pei Yan looked up at Hua Jin: "Don't you want this important person to have a better impression of you?"
"I think so." Hua Jin was honest, "But that kind of special styling and makeup is not suitable for us."
Us?
Who is she and "us"?
Hearing these two words, Pei Yan felt a little anxious in his heart. He raised the corner of his mouth and made a smile: "I know."
After sending Hua Jin outside the dilapidated alley, Pei Yan looked sideways at Hua Jin who was taking off his seatbelt: "You really don't need me to send you off this afternoon?"
"No, thank you for today." Hua Jin looked up and smiled at Pei Yan, "I always trouble you, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, I'm idle anyway. When I'm bored, I tend to be kind-hearted and help anyone." Pei Yan gently rubbed the steering wheel with his left index finger, "Not to mention such a trivial matter, it's not a big deal. What trouble."
Hua Jin tilted her head and smiled: "That's great."
"What?" Pei Yan looked at her puzzled.
"I said this is good." Hua Jin pursed her lips, "A kind person should meet the best people and live the best life."
Pei Yan frowned slightly. How does Hua Jin's words sound different from "You are a good person"?
"In that chance encounter by the lake a few months ago, you deliberately teased me. Did you think I was going to commit suicide by jumping into the lake?"
"What else could be the reason? Do you really think that I am attracted by your beauty?" Pei Yan looked away from Hua Jin's face, "What kind of beauty have I not seen?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Pei is well-informed and has read everything." Hua Jin smiled and nodded, "There is no better person in the world than you."
"He started talking nonsense again." Pei Yan sneered, "I thought I was a kindergarten kid and praised me so perfunctorily."
"Actually... I am an honest person." Hua Jinzuo said seriously, "I compliment you sincerely."
"You'd better get out of the car." Pei Yan pointed out the window, "Anyone in my consulting team can flatter you better than you."
"Let their tongues bloom, why don't I be sincere." Hua Jin opened the door and walked out, bending down and waving to Pei Yan, "Mr. Pei, thank you very much. Goodbye."
The car door closed and the car became quiet.
Pei Yan watched Hua Jin walking into the alley, and after a long time said: "A woman with a talkative heart, huh!"
At around 2:20 in the afternoon, Hua Jin rushed to the place she had made an appointment with Teacher Sun. After waiting for less than 20 minutes, Teacher Sun came over on a small yellow car. When he saw Hua Jin, he waved to her, "I didn't expect you to come even earlier than me."
Seeing the sweat on Teacher Sun's forehead, Hua Jin took out the handkerchief from her bag: "Teacher Sun, please wipe the sweat."
"I can't bear to wipe such a beautiful handkerchief." Teacher Sun took the handkerchief, looked at it, carefully folded it and handed it back to Hua Jin, "At my age, it's good to sweat a little to detoxify."
"If you like it, just keep it. When I am not too busy, I will embroider some handkerchiefs and keep them. This handkerchief has not been used yet, but the fabric is made of ordinary Sichuan brocade. Don't dislike it." Hua Jin Help Teacher Sun put the yellow car away, "Should we take a taxi there now?"
"Then I'll accept it shamelessly." Teacher Sun put the handkerchief close to her body, "She lives not far from here, we can just walk there."
"Okay." Hua Jin walked slowly with Teacher Sun. This is a busy market. There are flowers, birds, insects and fish nearby. Small shops are crowded together, such as cross-stitch shops, bedding shops, and fruit shops. There are many kinds of shops.
Through the busy city, there is a faded sign hanging on an old building, with the word Su Embroidery simply written on it. Hua Jin followed Teacher Sun upstairs. Through the door, Hua Jin heard voices inside the house.
"The cannon knocked over the mountain, and you can't keep your chess piece."
"If I don't take this step, I won't leave..."
"No regrets when you lose."
Teacher Sun knocked on the door, and soon someone opened the door. It was a woman about forty years old. Hua Jin noticed that the woman was leaning on a cane, with one leg hanging empty.
"Teacher Sun, you are here." The woman was very enthusiastic and greeted Teacher Sun and Hua Jin to come in. After Hua Jin entered the house, she closed the door and saw three or four old people sitting together in the living room, arguing over a wooden chessboard.
"Master, Teacher Sun is here." Although the woman was leaning on a cane, her movements were very neat. Hua Jin saw several embroidery frames placed on the other side of the living room. Most of the people sitting next to the embroidery frames were in thick and thin clothes. With a disability, Hua Jin even saw a one-armed man embroidering Guan Gong's picture.
"Sister Sun, are you here?" A tall old lady walked out from the inner room. She was wearing a dark short-sleeved cheongsam and her hair was neatly combed. She looked like a very elegant old lady.
"Sister Zhou, this is the talented young man I told you about." Teacher Sun looked very familiar with this teacher, so she was not even polite on the surface, "I brought her here to meet her. See you."
"Good sign, little girl." The old lady smiled kindly and asked Hua Jin to sit down. "It just so happens that some of my old colleagues are here today. Let's sit together and chat."
A young girl brought out a plate of fruit, and the old lady said: "This is my granddaughter. She is still in high school. She came to see me this weekend."
Hua Jin glanced at the little girl, who smiled at her, with two dimples exposed on her round apple face, innocent and cute.
Hua Jin sat next to Teacher Sun and chatted with the old lady for a while. Then she learned that the old lady’s surname was Zhou and her name was Zhou Yun. She worked in an embroidery factory when she was young. Later, when the embroidery factory closed down, she came out to work alone. , although I have not made much in these years, I can still live a comfortable life, and I have also helped several disabled people find a new direction in life.
No wonder there are a few disabled people here, that’s what happened. Hua Jin is in awe of Zhou Yun. While adhering to her own ideals, she can also think about helping others. Such a person is worthy of admiration.
When Hua Jin said that she mainly learned Shu embroidery needlework, Zhou Yun was not disappointed. Instead, she said with emotion: "The development of Shu embroidery in recent years has not been easy. It is important for young people to devote themselves to learning embroidery. All acupuncture techniques are rare."
A few old men and women who were arguing about playing chess also put away the chessboard and came over to watch the young people in the embroidery world. Especially when Teacher Sun took out the handkerchief Hua Jin gave her, these seniors praised her even more, wishing they could praise Hua Jin even more.
The enthusiasm of the old people made Hua Jin blush. She had only learned embroidery for five or six years. How could she be as good as these seniors praised her?
"We old guys, two are from the Suzhou embroidery school, one is from the Guangdong embroidery school, and one is from the Hunan embroidery school. Although the embroidery is all about needlework, the stitching techniques of each family are different from those of the others. There are differences in the colors used, so I can't even speak of guidance." Zhou Yun looked at Hua Jinxiu's handkerchief carefully, first praised Hua Jinxiu again and again, and then said, "I don't think there's a big problem with your stitching. It is also energetic, but the colors used are not as bright as traditional Shu embroidery, but more in line with the aesthetics of today's young people. This is actually very good, the future belongs to young people, only if young people accept the things of our embroidery industry , embroidery will continue to be passed down."
Hua Jin blushed a little. Teacher Zhou Yun was right. Her embroidery style did cater to the aesthetics of young people. Compared with these old artists who have always adhered to their true intentions, she is still a bit philistine.
“The tradition is fashionable without losing the original characteristics of Shu embroidery.” Zhou Yun praised, “Although you are young, your embroidery has the characteristics that only embroidery masters can have, that is vitality. . The great embroidery masters of the past generations, their works are so beautiful that they have souls. No wonder Sister Sun brought you here specially. It’s a pity that you already have a master, otherwise I would have accepted you as my direct disciple."
That afternoon, Hua Jin heard a lot from these seniors. They talked about the glory of embroidery in the past, the future of embroidery, and the true heart that embroiderers should not forget.
After leaving Teacher Zhou Yun's house, Teacher Sun saw that Hua Jin looked a little startled, and said with a smile: "Are they too enthusiastic to scare you? Please don't blame them, it's just because young embroidery masters like you are so rare. , they think that as long as they praise you more and say more nice words, you will go further and more firmly on this road."
"They just want the craft of embroidery to be passed down for a longer time..."
