Chapter 391: Can't Stop Showing Off
Niu Niu’s embroidery patterns are simple, but as a novice, it takes time to embroider well.

Therefore, Yi Chi did not rush her, but let her embroider slowly. The embroidery time should not be too long. She could take a fifteen-minute break every half hour, and she should not be idle during the break.

First, do a set of eye protection exercises, then look at the scenery to relieve eye fatigue, and finally look at the green onions and green vegetables to refresh your eyes.

After completing the whole procedure, the time was just right.

Liu Lan sighed, "Thanks to my work as an embroiderer, my family has never been short of green leafy vegetables and spring onions this year."

Niuniu, who was sitting on the kang again, holding an embroidery frame and embroidering peach blossoms, said, "I don't have any at home."

"Next year, ask your grandmother to dig the soil for you to plant. Otherwise, in the winter, it will be a vast expanse of white, bare ground, which is not kind to the eyes, especially our eyes."

Niuniu cried out, "The soil is frozen, how can we dig?"

"Dig it when the soil is not frozen, make a wooden frame or box, and place it in a room with a kang. If the temperature is right, there is water and light, it can survive."

“It’s not a very good life.”

Thinking of the shallots and green leafy vegetables she saw, Niu Niu complained like a little adult, "The shallots are still green, but the green leafy vegetables are yellow."

“Photosynthesis is not done well.”

Yi Chi Chi, who had just finished embroidering a thread, replied calmly, "But it's winter, so it's better to have it than not."

This is true.

At around 2 p.m., after working all morning, Liu Lan finished her work, cheered at her work, and happily announced, "My Moonlit Begonia is finally finished."

Congratulations, she can now concentrate on working on another painting.

Niuniu was a little envious. She looked at her own pitiful and messy peach blossom, then at Liu Lan's work, and asked Yi Chi Chi, "Aunt, when can I embroider something like Aunt Lan Lan's?"

Yi Chichi said, "???"

Is this kid so fierce?
I had just learned to walk and I was already thinking about running, long-distance running at that.

But if children have ideas and are willing to work hard for them, the elders should not discourage them but encourage them.

"Don't worry, finish embroidering the peach blossoms first, then embroider the others. When they are almost done, you can embroider the complicated ones like your Aunt Liulan's."

Liu Lan nodded in agreement, "Your aunt is right, little girl, be patient and lay a good foundation. Once you are proficient, not to mention me, you can also do the difficult ones like your aunt."

This education is kind of beautiful, so beautiful that Niuniu grinned and said, "Then I will embroider seriously."

This girl is a man of her words. Since she promised to be serious, she will show it through practical actions.

I went home and took the cloth with me.

Aunt Ma and the others, "..."

"I feel something is wrong."

Liu Dalin's rough face was stained with sadness. "Since Niuniu started learning embroidery from Xiaoyi, she seems to have been obsessed and doesn't like to go out to play anymore."

Aunt Ma's mouth twitched. "Like you."

The eyes of the whole family immediately fell on Aunt Ma's face, even Niu Niu, who was concentrating on inserting the needle, raised her eyes to look over.

Liu Chengqi was even more confused, "Did Dalin also behave like this when he was a child?"

"It's not a big deal. When you encounter something new, you will get excited. It will be fine after the excitement passes."

The implication is: There is no need to worry too much about Niu Niu's situation.

Besides, "It's too cold, and no one wants to play with her."

A few people thought about it and felt that it made sense, but it was not a good idea to poke it with a piece of cloth and needle and thread every day.

"Niuniu, why don't you take a break?"

Niuniu paused, and thought of something, "Dad, can we dig the soil now?"

Liu Dalin exclaimed, "Digging?"

He looked at the land outside that was covered by thick snow, then looked at Niuniu, scratched his scalp which was a little itchy because he hadn't washed his hair for a long time, and wondered, "Why are you digging the soil?"

"You can plant green leafy vegetables like green onions, and garlic is also fine." The leaves that grow from garlic are also green and look beautiful.

Liu Dalin thought she wanted to eat green leafy vegetables, so he tried to negotiate with her in a gentle voice, "There are no green leafy vegetables now, how about we eat some pickled cabbage first, and when the soil thaws in spring, Dad will plant some for you, okay?"

"No way."

"What?"

"I won't need it in the spring. Everything will be green, and I won't have to stare at the green onion leaves to wash my eyes."

"…What does this have to do with washing your eyes?"

This conversation left Liu Dalin and the others confused, so Niu Niu explained it in detail and then made a final summary.

"Aunt said that for people in our profession, eyes are very important and must be protected. So, Dad, you have to dig some soil for me and plant some colorful things to relieve my eye fatigue."

Liu Dalin's expression became serious, "We need to plant some."

Then the question arises, how can he dig the soil in this freezing cold weather?

Do you have to light a torch first to melt the snow and the ground and then dig the water to plant?
When Liu Chengqi saw him like this, he knew that his brain was starting to act stupid again.

I couldn't help but stand up and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll go solve this problem."

Before he finished speaking, he took the big cotton-padded jacket, hat, scarf, hand covers and other things from the kang and dressed himself up.

Then he put on his sheepskin boots and went out.

Everyone, "???"

"Dad, where are you going to solve this?"

Niuniu's mother chased after him and called out to him. Liu Chengqi replied, "Find someone. Clean up a room at home to store these. Don't let them freeze to death..."

His voice floated from afar and was blown away by the wind.

Niuniu's mother came into the room with a head full of questions, "Did Dad go to look for Chi Chi?!"

"It's almost the same. If not, I can go to your uncle's house and look for Lanlan."

Aunt Ma knows her old man's temper very well. Besides, Chi Chidao and Lan Lan are the only ones in the village who are engaged in this business.

In the cold winter, except for these two families who could find green leaves for the sake of protecting their eyes, no one else could find any.

"Can you give it to me?"

Liu Dalin was a little worried, fearing that his father would return empty-handed.

"I will definitely give it to you." Aunt Ma was full of confidence.

Facts proved that she was right. Wen's mother, who understood Liu Chengqi's intention, let go of the hand that was holding down Dajuzi, stood up and said, "There are no more, only one."

Liu Chengqi went to Liu Lan's house first. After all, they were relatives, so it was easy to ask.

But his uncle's family was so large that apart from one wooden box which contained some fairly lush green onions and a few green leafy vegetables, the rest of the boxes had been eaten clean, leaving only the stubble.

I really can't do it.

So, I can only come to the Wen family again.

"It would be nice to have one."

Mother Wen led him to the room and pointed to a row of boxes neatly arranged on the kang, which were still lush and green. "Take any one you like."

The green on the kang was so dazzling that Liu Chengqi looked a little dazed and asked, "Why did you plant so much?"

Before he finished speaking, he pinched a scallion with his hand as if he had self-awareness and stuffed it into his mouth, and the spicy taste instantly filled his mouth.

"Oh my god, this tastes so good!"

I miss you so much.

So, Yi Chichi, who came from the workshop after hearing the noise, saw her team leader squatting in front of the kang and eating Xuan Xiaosong in a very ungraceful manner.

One after another, I can’t stop showing off.
