Happy peasant girl

Chapter 243 Recruiting Apprentices (5)
However, later, with the appearance of Nayuan and Xiuyuan, she often remembered what her embroidery master said to her when she dreamed back at midnight: "Xin An, you and I have no relatives or reasons. , but I understand that you are the most suitable person compared to the children and grandchildren passed on to me. If you stick to the form, you will forget its essence, the same is true for embroidery, and it is also the same for being a human being.”

Mrs. Ye did not expect that Linqingxi would have such an open-minded idea. Maybe she is right. Besides, in the final analysis, Linqingxi was the first to embroider Xiangxiu, and she is the only one in the Lin clan who is most qualified to decide the future of Hunan embroidery. .

Two months later, Xinna Garden stood up spectacularly in Linjia Village. Standing on the roof of Xinna Garden, one could almost see the back of Damei Mountain and the endless mountains in the distance.

More than 200 female apprentices were the first to live in Nayuan. In the past two months, they ate well and lived well in Xiyuan.

Linqingxi chose to give everyone a 20-year annual leave on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and asked them to pack their things and go home for the New Year.Jasmine was in charge of the wages and benefits for the female workers in the Embroidery Garden and the Nayuan Garden, while Lin Qingxi was in charge of the female apprentices.

On the morning of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, all the female apprentices still got up at Maoshi and spontaneously started running around the Xinna Garden. After that, they washed up, packed their bags and went home to celebrate the New Year.

When it was almost noon, they stood neatly in the backyard of Nayuan, and Linqingxi stood at the front of everyone, facing them.

"You have been apprentices here for more than two months. Although it was agreed in advance that you only need to eat and live for free, each of you has performed very well during this time, so I decided to give you an extra reward." Lin Qing After Xi finished speaking, he winked at Lily of the Valley and Hibiscus at the side.

Then, Haitong and Hailan held a big basket respectively, and Lily of the Land and Mujin gave out purses to these female apprentices from both sides, and each of them contained six hundred coins in their purses.

After distributing these purses, Linqingxi gave everyone a pair of new shoes with mille-soled soles and a pack of snacks.The female apprentices who received these things were all very happy, whether it was money or things, it was a surprise.

"I remember coming to Nayuan on the tenth day of the lunar new year. Now you all go home and have a good New Year!" Lin Qingxi was also happy, and she could finally rest for a few days.

"Thank you, girl!" The female apprentices said gratefully to Lin Qingxi.

Among these female apprentices were the granddaughter of the old woman whom Lin Qingxi met that day in Nayuan, He Xueer's younger sister He Zhuer, and He Xiaohua's younger sister He Xiaoyun.

He Xueer and He Xiaohua were already waiting for their younger sister in the front yard of Nayuan Garden. Their salary and benefits for the New Year were higher than before. At this moment, they were very excited. After all, the whole family could have a good New Year.

"Sister Xue'er, why haven't you come out yet?" He Xiaohua seemed a little anxious.

"Why are you so anxious, the girls must have something to say to them. Pearl and the others are here to be apprentices, I think they are here to enjoy the blessings. There is no apprentice in the world who is so relaxed, and the girl also teaches them to read, I'm envious of learning calligraphy, embroidery, and taking care of their food and clothing for free!" He Xueer said to He Xiaohua while stretching her head to look in the direction of the backyard.

"If sister Xue'er is envious, she can go to the girl's side as a female apprentice. I believe the girl will accept you." He Xueer's soles are fast and good, and they can embroider. He Xiaohua thought that Lin Qingxi would definitely I like her very much.

"I would like to, but the girl has already assigned me to the embroidery garden." He Xueer said with a smile.

"Come out, come out!"

At this moment, female apprentices rushed out of the backyard with small bundles.

"Pearl, Pearl!"

"Xiao Yun, here, this way!"

He Xueer and He Xiaohua shouted loudly to the crowd, and seeing their sisters, He Zhuer and He Xiaoyun ran up to them holding hands.

"Sister!" The two shouted to their sister in unison.

"What did the girl tell you? Didn't you say that you don't need to take anything? Why is your burden so bulging?" He Xueer asked after taking the burden from her younger sister He Zhuer.

"Sister, slow down, there is a box of snacks that the girl gave me as a reward!" He Zhuer said nervously, fearing that the snacks in the bag would be scattered by He Xueer.

"Snacks?" He Xueer touched through the cloth, and there was indeed something harder inside.

"Yes, sister Xue'er, I have it too! Every female apprentice has one, and the girl also rewarded each of us with a purse, which contains six hundred cash and a pair of new shoes." He Xiaoyun was triumphant said.

"Why do you have so many things?" He Xiaohua also opened her eyes wide.

"The girl said that we performed well, this is our reward, and it is also our New Year's benefit." He Zhuer said.

"Okay, don't be smug, let's go home quickly." He Xueer smiled and nodded her sister's forehead.

At this time, there were many people waiting outside Nayuan. They all came to pick up their family members who were working in Nayuan. After waiting anxiously, they talked and laughed happily.

Soon, Nayuan became quiet, Linjia Village became quiet, and even Linqingxi became quiet.After everyone left Nayuan, she moved a stool and sat in the front yard of Nayuan by herself.

"Girl, it's cold outside, why don't you go inside? The people in Nayuan have left, why don't you go back to Xiyuan or the ancestral house?" Ling Lan said to Lin Qingxi.

"Wait a while, I'll sit down again." Lin Qingxi felt empty in her heart, when she was busy, she just wanted to relax for a while, but when she really relaxed, she felt a little deserted.

I've never felt this way before, but this time it's a bit stronger. She may be born with a hard life, and she feels uncomfortable when she is free.

"Girl, are you alright?" Ling Lan sat down on the open space beside Lin Qingxi.Haitong and Hailan also looked towards Linqingxi.

"It's okay, I just feel that I should find something else to do, otherwise this life will lack fun and passion." Lin Qingxi said with one hand on his chin.

"Girl, you have a lot of things to do. Spring plowing will be over after the new year, and Nayuan will be very busy, and you have to take care of teaching those female apprentices. It's hard to be quiet for two days now, so you can have fun for a while, Don't tire yourself out!" Ling Lan advised.

"Linglan, the things you mentioned are actually done for me. I don't need to do it myself. Even if I do it myself, I feel that I should find something new to do. If I keep farming or getting shoe soles all the time, everyone will find it annoying. Yes." Lin Qingxi said with a sigh.

"Then what do you want to do, girl? How about we dig a pond to raise fish, didn't the girl say that she wanted to raise fish?" Ling Lan said suddenly.
