www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Flower Feast!
"Sister Qin, don't think I'm being harsh." Hua Jin lowered her eyelids, "As a woman living in this world, the meaning of life is not just to find a man with a car and a house. Love and marriage You need to let things go, but life is not like that. In order to prevent my future self from scolding me, I have no other choice but to work hard."
"You are working hard outside, just to have an apartment and a family?" Sister Qin didn't understand Hua Jin's thoughts, because she felt from the bottom of her heart that the boy was in good condition, and she felt that Hua Jin was alone. It was too hard to work outside, so I agreed to be this introducer. Looking at Hua Jin's reaction now, she must have done bad things with good intentions.
This made her feel a little unhappy. For a moment, she didn't know whether to be angry with herself for being so meddlesome or angry with Huajin for not giving her face.
"Home is where the heart is at ease." Hua Jin shook his head and said, "A large number of people does not necessarily mean liveliness, and being alone does not necessarily mean loneliness. I know you mean well, but I have no plans to spend my life with anyone yet. , please help me repay the other party's kindness."
Sister Qin stared at Hua Jin for a while, then sighed: "Okay, maybe I'm too old to understand what you young girls think."
She was silent for a moment, and said in a numb tone: "My ex-husband didn't read much, and he was tall and tall. As a result, he had a very good temper outside. He would beat me and the children when he came home. That young man followed My ex-husband is completely different. He is thin-skinned and well-educated. I have specifically inquired about him in the past few days. He has a good temper and will definitely not hit anyone."
Listening to Sister Qin’s words, Hua Jin fell silent. She heard many things about Sister Qin from other people, but Sister Qin did not like to mention her past in front of everyone, as if the divorce experience was an extremely embarrassing thing for her.
"You are a good girl." Sister Qin raised her hand to hold the broken hair on her temples. The thin silver bracelet on her wrist was dim and dull after she had worn it for who knows how many years. "That child is one of the younger generations I know. The best one. I just thought that a girl as good as you should find a man who is completely different from my ex-husband, and then he will definitely live a better life than me."
In Sister Qin’s understanding, there is no choice not to get married, but you can choose whether a man is good or bad.
"Sister Qin, you... drink some water." Hua Jin pushed the water glass in front of Sister Qin.
Sister Qin’s expression was very complicated, seeming to include hatred, resentment, and a hint of melancholy. Hua Jin thought she would cry, but her eyes were dry and there were no tears. This kind of vicissitudes of life and numb eyes gave Hua Jin an instinctive fear of marriage.
"Thank you." Seeing Hua Jin's careful look, Sister Qin suddenly smiled, "You don't have to be so careful. I've been divorced for several years, and there's nothing else I can't say."
Hua Jin smiled and didn't know how to answer.
"It's the middle of the night. I shouldn't bother you so late. I'm going back first." Sister Qin took a sip of water, got up and walked out.
Hua Jin got up to see her off. When she walked to the door, Sister Qin stopped and looked at her: "Hua Jin, have you ever thought about what you want?"
"Probably... you don't have to worry about eating and drinking?" Hua Jin tilted her head, half seriously, half joking.
"It's good." Sister Qin nodded repeatedly, "It's good to have no worries about food and drink for the rest of my life."
After sending Sister Qin away, Hua Jin put away the water cups and uneaten fruits on the table. She did not lie to Sister Qin. Her goal in life is to have no worries about eating and drinking. If the skill of Shu embroidery can be made The more people like it, the better.
Hua Jin didn't feel sleepy at all after being disturbed by Sister Qin. She remembered the comments on Weibo, picked up her phone and continued reading, only to figure out what was going on. It turned out that the dragon and phoenix she had previously embroidered was posted on Weibo by a well-known blogger.
Following the comments from netizens, she found the Weibo post. After reading the entire article, Hua Jin felt sour and unspeakable. She knew that this was touching. There are marriages like that between Sister Qin and her ex-husband, and there are also marriages like this couple.
Her private messages on Weibo are filled with messages from netizens. Some asked her how much it would cost to embroider such a quilt, some asked her to buy an embroidery bag, some asked her for photos, and some asked her for photos. Looking for her to advertise or cause trouble. She didn't bother to pay attention to the unreasonable people, and she couldn't take orders for dragon and phoenix quilts for the time being. She and Tan Yuan were the only two people in the studio now. They were too busy to take in too many orders, so they couldn't guarantee the quality. The rush to make the dragon and phoenix quilt had consumed too much of her energy, and she was afraid that she would suffer from premature aging if she continued to stay up late like this.
But a private message from a netizen caught her attention.
This netizen named "Winter is not too cold" sent her more than ten private messages in a row. The private message said that his grandmother was nearly eighty years old and was born in Shu Province. When she was seven years old, her mother went to the front line to work as a field nurse when the country was in turmoil. Later, her mother died in the war and her father also lost his life in the war. She was adopted by local kind-hearted people. .
Over the years, the old man often said that his mother had embroidered a small square handkerchief for her before she left, with a cute panda on it and the words "gift to my daughter in a certain year and month". However, due to the war, it was relocated several times, and the handkerchief was lost at some point.
Over the years, the old man has never forgotten the handkerchiefs embroidered by his mother. In order to make her happy, the younger generations of the family bought a lot of embroidery related to pandas. The old man said that he was happy and loved, but he still talked about his childhood from time to time. And the panda-embroidered square handkerchief her mother gave her.
It’s not too cold in winter and he has a good relationship with his grandma, so when he found out about Huajin’s Weibo, there were photos of panda embroidery, he wanted to ask her to help embroider a few handkerchiefs, and not embroider anything else, just embroider pandas. . And in order to show his sincerity, before Hua Jin saw the private message, he had already sent three red envelopes in a row.
In modern society, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not difficult to buy something. Embroidery related to pandas is not a rare item, so it is even easier to buy it. Maybe this old lady is not dissatisfied with the embroidery, but she is obsessed with the embroidered handkerchief full of mother's love.
In that turbulent era, those who dared to stand up and go to the front line must be great and full of love.
Hua Jin admired such amazing people, so she controlled her money-grubbing heart and did not click on the red envelope sent by this netizen, but chose to reply directly to the other person.
Flowers: I can try, but there is no guarantee that your grandma will like my embroidery.
Within two minutes of her reply, the other party sent an excited message. She secretly guessed that the other party might have been waiting in front of the phone, waiting for her reply.
It’s not too cold in winter: It doesn’t matter, I’m glad you are willing to try it! Thank you!
Winter is not too cold: You are a Shu embroidery master, and you may know the Shu embroidery style best. I also know that without photos or any detailed description, it is an embarrassing thing for you to do this, but please rest assured, whether grandma likes it or not, I will buy it at a high price.
Flowers: The embroidery pieces on the handkerchiefs are relatively small, so the price will be discounted.
Winter is not too cold: embroidery is valuable, art is priceless, just go ahead and do it. If you have time, you can try different styles. I customize them all at a high price.
Hua Jin feels that the words and deeds of this kind of buyer are a realistic portrayal of being taken advantage of. If you meet a shady businessman, it will be like having someone steal your money. After learning that the other party was in the same city as her, Hua Jin sighed and told the other party the address and contact information of her store.
Then the other party sent another red envelope.
Hua Jin:......
She felt that her greedy heart seemed to be ready to move.
