Going to the countryside in the Northeast, educated youths became popular in the village with embroi

Chapter 376 Adding fuel to the flames
Wang Nan's mouth twitched as he handed them some melon seeds. "Eat it."

Big Orange and Big Li looked at the melon seeds she placed on the kang mat, meowed with satisfaction, and then used their paws to pick up a seed and put it into their mouths.

Yi Chichi's expression was very calm until the two of them spit out the melon seed shells and started eating another one, then he could no longer maintain the expression on his face.

"Mom, when did the big orange ones learn to eat melon seeds?"

In the native world, she had seen videos of cats and dogs cracking melon seeds on cute pet bloggers. They cracked them very skillfully and even knew to spit out the shells.

She also felt like she had become a spirit.

Who would have thought that these two in her family could do it? It's outrageous.

Mother Wen was even more confused than she was, "I don't know."

She can't eat melon seeds because she gets a sore throat if she does. There are some dried nuts at home, but they are mostly pine nuts and hazelnuts.

Qin Jiu had no shortage of food. Her daughter-in-law never treated this cousin, who was three generations apart from her, badly, and she always had White Rabbit cakes and other snacks.

Even when her daughter-in-law went to the island, she would regularly provide Qin Jiu with food, so there was no question of him being short of food.

This also leads to the child having no interest in melon seeds.

So the question is, how did these two learn to crack melon seeds when there were no melon seeds at home?

Perhaps knowing the confusion in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's hearts, Wang Nan explained with a wry smile, "It's my fault. When I was collecting Mao Ke before, the two of them came to visit my house. I don't know if Lao Bai was having fun or what, but he taught them how to crack melon seeds."

Then he sighed, "Don't mention it, their skills in cracking melon seeds are much better than mine."

Yi Chichi and the others were silent, competing with cats in their ability to crack melon seeds or something...

It was so full that I was full.

Knowing the reason why the two were cracking melon seeds, Yi Chichi stopped paying attention to Daju and the others and looked at Liu Lan instead, "How much did you embroider?"

"so much."

Liu Lan unfolded the silk cloth. The embroidery pattern was drawn by Yi Chichi. Because Ning Jiandong did not specify the content, she drew two embroidery patterns. One of them was Begonia on a Moonlit Night, which was mainly scenery.

The other painting is of a forest fox, with animals as the main subject.

The first piece that Liu Lan started working on was the Begonia on a Moonlit Night. The bright moon had already been embroidered, and a main stem had been embroidered out of the Begonia branch.

This efficiency really shocked Yi Chichi.

"You started embroidering when you were in confinement?"

Liu Lan shook her head, "No, I started after I finished my confinement."

That's pretty fast.

Wang Nan came over to take a look and saw a full moon and a branch on the silk cloth. He asked curiously, "What is this embroidered on?"

"Moonlit Begonia."

Liu Lan showed her the embroidery sample, and Wang Nan was amazed at first sight.

“Can you give me this picture after you finish embroidering it?”

It's so beautiful. Although she has a low level of education and can't think of any good adjectives to describe this embroidery pattern, she will appreciate it.

If this painting could be framed and put together, the feeling would immediately come up.

Liu Lan's answer is -

"You ask Chi Chi."

It wasn't her who painted it, so how could she have the final say?

When Wang Nan heard this, he immediately cast an expectant look towards Yi Chichi.

She smiled and said, "When Lanlan finishes embroidering, ask her for it."

She has no use for embroidery patterns and no hobby of embroidering the same style.

As long as she wants, she can embroider pieces with different moods in the style of Moonlit Begonia.

I really don't mind this embroidery pattern.

Wang Nan was amused, and turned to Liu Lan and said, "Then we have a deal. I'll go get the drawing when you finish embroidering."

"it is good."

Liu Lan agreed immediately, took the embroidery frame and stretched the silk cloth on it skillfully, then rubbed her hands, "Chi Chi, I will come to embroider with you from now on, and I won't take anything back with me. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay." Just treat it as going to work. It's nice to be able to talk and chat at work.

So, in the room that was specially set aside as a workshop and was heated up warm, the four of them took up a corner and started working on their own.

The big oranges were not idle either, they were concentrating on cracking melon seeds.

When I'm almost done, I start to wash my face and comb my hair carefully.

After everything is done, roll around on the warm kang for a few times, then fall into a deep sleep on your back.

The snoring was one after another, and it was quite loud.

Wang Nan's mouth twitched and he complained, "Their snoring is louder than my husband's."

Among the four people present, only Wang Nan's man was by her side and spent every day with her. As for the remaining three, one had no man, and two of the men were not around.

There is really no common topic for her complaints.

No one responded, and Wang Nan didn't care and just told the news.

"Juanzi seems to be in some condition."

Yi Chichi didn't even raise his head, "What's going on?"

"She and Comrade Old Wu seem to have some connection."

"Wu Yongfei?"

Yi Chichi had a shocked look on his face, and Liu Lan and Wen's mother were not much better.

The two have quite different personalities. Juanzi often complains that Comrade Lao Wu is too talkative and doesn't think before speaking, and she scolds him as if he were her grandson.

How did these two get together?
Wang Nan hummed, his expression twisted as he said, "When the old witch goes out to prepare a big banquet for others, she will prepare a separate meal for Juanzi. This is not justifiable unless there is a reason."

That's true.

Comrade Lao Wu is not only a chatterbox who speaks without thinking, but also loves to eat.

Otherwise, he would not have taken the job of chef in the Youth League Home just for a bite to eat.

With so many people to feed, preparing three meals a day is not an easy task.

It’s not that I really love to eat, but I just have an interest and talent in learning cooking, so I gave up the job a long time ago.

Wen's mother said, "I thought he would share half of the food he brought back and keep the rest for himself."

Who would have thought that he would give the child to Ge Sujuan.

"I can't bear to eat it myself, so I give it to her."

At this point, Wang Nan said with emotion, "Actually, it would be a good thing if they could succeed."

Yi Chichi felt that this matter could not be about the emperor not being anxious but the eunuchs being anxious, it all depended on how the parties involved developed.

"Let's wait until Juanzi comes to confirm her feelings first."

The implication is that you shouldn't match people up with each other before you're sure.

Wang Nan nodded. She knew that Yi Chichi was talking to her. After all, she and Ge Sujuan had a special relationship.

"Let me find out, and then I'll see if I should add fuel to the fire."

Liu Lan pulled out a thread and threaded it into the eye of the needle, and said calmly, "If Juanzi succeeds, then it should be Qiuyu's turn next?"

"This isn't a distribution, so there's no way we can follow a certain order. Maybe Lang Hong and his group of educated youth will come out on top later."

This possibility is not impossible.

But that's not what they should worry about, after all, the newcomers are not very familiar with them.

It's not their turn to speak anyway.

The snow was getting heavier at noon. Wen's mother invited Liu Lan and Wang Nan to have lunch. The two of them did not refuse, but when they came again the next day, they not only brought food and vegetables to repay the favor.

I also prepared my own meals.

They were told not to refuse, otherwise they wouldn't dare ask Wen's mother to help heat up the food.

So, there were two more people eating at the table where originally only the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were eating.

The first snow after the beginning of winter did not last long, only three days, and then there was a continuous period of sunny days for half a month.

The captain and his companions who went into the mountains to hunt finally returned.
