Thousands of years

Chapter 87

"An Ji, my aunt called today and said that if I am not busy in the past two days, I will go to the house." It is also unfortunate that I am not busy at work recently. Serve a few dishes and come to the factory to visit An Ji.

Seeing Ning Yunfan walk in, An Ji picked up his phone and looked at it. Sure enough, there were several missed calls: "Oh, I just saw it."

On weekdays, An Ji's cell phone is on silent, not to mention that the factory is very noisy, even if An Ji has turned it on on purpose, he can't hear a sound at all.

"I told my aunt that you turned on the mute, and my aunt muttered a few words, and then didn't pursue it..."

Handing the food he brought to his girlfriend, Ning Yunfan hesitated for a while, and then said: "It's just that I think my aunt may have guessed it, otherwise I wouldn't call me to your house on the excuse of your birthday."

He Yanqing is not so easy to deceive, if he doesn't get a response from his daughter once and a half, he can still believe Ning Yunfan's clumsy excuse.

"You'd better prepare in advance." Even though An Ji's hand holding the takeaway was already frozen in mid-air, Ning Yunfan made it clear to the former.

"Okay." An Ji's eyes darkened, and he answered, knowing that with his mother He Yanqing's ability to see everything, he might be able to escape the first day of junior high school, and he would not be able to escape the fifteenth day.

Seeing that An Ji hadn't come back for a long time, Aunt Zhang was afraid that something had happened to the girl, so she hurried over with small steps: "What's wrong, girl?"

"Ah, Xiao Ning is here too? Bring food for An Ji again, you have to persuade her to eat more, otherwise it will be cheaper for us in the end." Seeing that An Ji was fine, Aunt Zhang took the bag from the former. , followed by a joke.

"Well, I originally bought it for uncles and aunts. She told me that she would get angry if she ate too much recently, and asked me to buy less for her." Ning Yunfan responded with a smile, and gave An Ji a look to signal The latter has time to remember to confess to the counterpart...

Staying here won't help, and Ning Yunfan doesn't intend to stay here to cause trouble: "Aunt Zhang, I'm leaving first, I still have things to do, I'll talk to you when I have time."

"Leave in such a hurry? Why don't you come in and sit for a while?" It's time for lunch, and since Ning Yunfan is here, Aunt Zhang has to say hello to stay and eat together, "If you're not in a hurry, stay and have a meal Let's go after dinner..."

"I see that you and An Ji don't have much time to meet each other. Take this opportunity to chat with her. She follows us every day and never stops. With her body, she will exhaust herself sooner or later. !"

"He sent us food specially. You haven't eaten yet, have you? My rice is about to be steamed, so you can keep a piece of it!"

An Ji's temperament is there, as long as he decides what he wants to do, he will definitely not be able to pull back eight donkeys...I would rather make myself tired, and make things clear as soon as possible.

The foundation of innovation has to be based on a deeper understanding of Hangluo itself. An Ji, who didn't have enough time and opportunities for trial and error, naturally decided on her goal, and didn't dare to delay in learning .

"Well, I have time to have a good chat with her. After all, the body is the capital of doing things!" Ning Yunfan responded, and sighed inwardly: even uncles and aunts, elders who can be respected by An Ji, can't persuade her. , It is useless to speak by yourself.

"I won't stay anymore. I still have things to do. I'll visit An Ji at noon and I won't bother my uncles and aunts. I'll come and sit down with you guys when I'm not busy at work."

"Aunt Zhang, he's still busy at work, so there's no need to keep him for dinner." An Ji knew that Ning Yunfan must still have work to do, so he came here specifically to confirm his condition.

It's just that Aunt Zhang is too enthusiastic, and she will definitely not let Ning Yunfan come and go hungry...

"Aunt Zhang, he just told me that he came after dinner, we can eat by ourselves, don't worry about him." Looking at Ning Yunfan, An Ji smiled and pushed Aunt Zhang back to the factory, "He is free When I was there, I asked him to come over and chat with you."

Even though An Ji said so, Aunt Zhang still looked suspicious, skeptical of the former's words - now the young people can speak, afraid that they will worry, afraid that they will worry, but they don't know how to take care of themselves.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm leaving, I'll see you another day!" Taking advantage of An Ji's cover, Ning Yunfan managed to get away, and after walking a few steps away, he followed the way he came.

A table of people sat around, and Aunt Zhang couldn't help sighing: "You two children... Sometimes I don't know how to say hello to you!"

Aunt Zhang understood what An Ji and Ning Yunfan were thinking. The two young people were actually thinking very simply.

Although Hangluo was passed on from master to apprentice hundreds of thousands of years ago, and most families knew some craftsmanship, but with the development of the times and the loss of skills, Hangluo's weaving has gradually become a secret passed down from family to family.

Now, in order for this craft to be truly carried forward, to allow the Chinese themselves to go further with a craft that has been handed down for thousands of years, An Ji can be fortunate enough to learn more...

Therefore, in the hearts of An Ji and Ning Yunfan, whether it is for An Ji and his uncles and aunts to learn crafts, eat and drink together, or just for the uncles and aunts who treat An Ji as their own girl, they have nothing to repay It deserves this friendship.

If it is a distant and illusory way to say that one day An Ji can really carry forward Hang Luo, then what the two of them can do is nothing more than getting along with each other in daily life.

And An Ji worked as hard as possible, and worked harder, so that uncles and aunts could see the hard work and determination of young people of their generation.

"Don't talk about it, your uncles and aunts understand...you are young, don't have so many burdens!" Busily setting up the table, Aunt Zhang muttered, "Hurry up and eat more, you Said that I have made several dishes of this dish, and if I can't finish it, I will waste it."

As always, the meal was spent in chatting about endless trivial matters. An Ji discovered that the uncles and aunts seem to have endless topics, and they can always start with a small thing and chat happily for a long time.

As time goes by, An Ji also likes this kind of plain and warm years more and more, just like at that time, the three young people who each had their own ideas and were arguing endlessly could stop because this was not a luxurious Hang Luo among all the materials. Under the original hasty pace, immersed in it.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen that child in Shengxia for a long time. How is it?" Aunt Zhang has been wanting to ask this question for a long time. Today, she happened to bump into Ning Yunfan, so she asked by the way, "Recently, Xiao Ning wanted to see you. But it’s pretty hard work.”

Aunt Wang, who was helping to clean up the dishes, also got involved when she heard it: "Really, Sheng Xia is also a good girl, and I don't know what happened after graduation?"

"She's been fine recently." Speaking of her best friend, An Ji was somewhat proud, "She just won an international award not long ago, and the Hanfu shop she runs has also seen a lot of improvement recently."

Speaking of which, among the three, the most successful in design after graduation is An Ji's best friend Sheng Xia, who rides the wind of Hanfu revival, with unique original design and cabbage price, from many Hanfu merchants. Standing out, is now considered a minor celebrity.

It's not that An Ji has never tried to combine Hangluo and Hanfu, but the cost is high, the audience is small, and the positioning is different from the current position of the girlfriend's shop. It is not easy to sell.

Moreover, with the passage of time, An Ji also gradually realized that her design was limited by her own culture and weaving characteristics of Hang Luo to a certain extent.

So much so that apart from the graduation design with the initial impulsive and passionate clothes, An Ji has not yet made a second design that can satisfy him 100%, and he doesn't want his girlfriends to bear the unsellable clothes for herself. risk of getting out.

"Let me just say, you kids will all have great prospects in the future!"

"Yeah, seeing how serious they were back then, I knew that these kids would never be wrong in the future!"

People of the older generation are willing to watch the younger generation do things seriously, even if they are wrong or do not do well, in the eyes of uncles and aunts, as long as they have a correct attitude, and they can correct their mistakes, they are definitely better than those who are smart and don’t do things well. strong!

"Okay, okay, pack your things and rest..." Seeing that if you continue to boast, An Ji might feel embarrassed, Aunt Zhang stopped talking with a smile, "An Ji, come with me, yesterday you said you didn't watch Understood, let me tell you more."

The repeated time passed quickly, An Ji followed behind several aunts and uncles, day by day, time passed by like this.

"Hey, why are you willing to wear this to go shopping with me?" Midsummer actually has a rare free time, although An Ji is nominally accompanying the former to go shopping, but in fact they are just two good sisters. relax.

The good scene in Hangzhou is different in four seasons, even though it is already the end of summer, seeing An Ji's mother, He Yanqing, is going back to the classroom to teach, the summer still has no intention of giving in.

"Elegant and generous, or they are all vulgar, and they don't have the aesthetics of my sister!" I don't know if Sheng Xia really doesn't know how to praise others, so that he can be so straightforward, or An Ji didn't respond for a long time, making the former tease unhappily stand up.

An Ji, who had been distressed for a long time, couldn't listen anymore, and said with a smile: "Others are vulgar, so it's not your design?"

"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore, I have to be anxious even to make a joke, thanks to you and Ning Ning Yunfan always saying that I have a quick temper... Why, a single dog is not a human, right?"

Sheng Xia also knew that An Ji's dream had always been in conflict with her mother's request.I am afraid that there is no other possibility to make the latter think about the distress when he is with him, except for this matter related to Hang Luo.

"In fact, don't worry too much. After all, don't you still have those traditional big brands that have collected these materials to sell clothes? Time-honored brands and old craftsmanship can be regarded as a strong alliance. Time isn't gone yet."

Having witnessed the shock of Hang Luo together and the joy of designing ready-made clothes, how could Midsummer not understand An Ji's thoughts?
What An Ji hopes is not simply to let Hang Luo, or the old craftsmanship and old memories like Hang Luo live, but to really let them shine in the starry sky that should belong to them.

It's just that as a friend, Sheng Xia, who is also revitalizing the culture and giving Hanfu elements of the new era, feels that An Ji is pushing herself too hard in order to realize her dream, and she should give herself a buffer time.

The warm wind blowing towards the face was broken up by thousands of tiny holes, and turned into a powerless sigh. When it was photographed on An Ji's steps forward, he could only turn away in a daze.

It's a pity that Hang Luo's "Youth" is like the floating shadow of the water in the West Lake, but An Ji is as stupid as the wind, and only understands the literal meaning of Midsummer: "But many things can't wait, really. Wait until it disappears if you don’t pick it up again.”

"We all learned this, you have to admit it if you don't admit it, you push yourself so hard, do you have a creative idea?" Seeing that An Ji didn't calm down and listen to what he said, Sheng Xia was not used to it either, "It's strange if you have any ideas now!"

"Besides, I'm not asking you to waste it." While chatting, Sheng Xia had already pulled him into his physical store, "I'm telling you to calm down, if you have any ideas, you can tell me, Ning Yunfan, Instead of encountering something on your own, just start competing silently!"

Even so, An Ji didn't realize it, and Sheng Xia sighed again and again, pushed him to the chair beside him and sat down, went back to the cabinet behind the counter, pushed aside a series of colorful clothes, took out a piece from it and folded it carefully OK, here comes the clothes in the bag.

"I didn't say I can't do it without me, as long as Aunt Zhang and the others teach, it's not necessary for me." What An Ji and his girlfriends said was a bit of a donkey's lip, but he didn't feel anything, so he continued to talk .

"I don't have to rely on anyone for non-genetic inheritance. It's just that my uncles and aunts have invested a lot of energy in me. They are also older now. I swore that I could..."

"Stop, stop, An Ji, stop!" Sheng Xia boasted that she talked a lot, but she didn't expect her girlfriends to talk as much as she did.It's just that now An Ji is completely immersed in his own troubles, if he doesn't interrupt, he will completely fall into a strange circle.

"An Ji, wait a minute, let me explain to you clearly what I mean. If you still have any difficulties in your heart, come and tell me again, okay?"

"Oh... good." In fact, An Ji himself can also find out that because of his mother's disapproval, and his deception and concealment to her mother, he is already a little dazed at this time. No wonder he learned more about Hang Luo's culture and culture. Neither weaving can lead to any valuable inspiration.

"An Ji, I don't mean that Aunt He told you to give up learning Hangluo weaving and give Hangluo the value of the new era in your way." Shengxia was not in the mood to try on clothes, so she simply put the bag back in On the side, he also sat on the chair where An Ji was.

"What I mean is, you don't need to make this matter so urgent, thinking that you will produce results in a month and a half."

"You may be because of Aunt He, but the more anxious you are, the more useless you are. On the contrary, you can't even do what you can do well! This kind of thing has to be done slowly, one year, three years, five years... Even longer is not impossible."

"But……"

"It's nothing but, even if Aunt He objected, wouldn't you do it?"
