Happy peasant girl

Chapter 9 Excellent Embroidery Skills
The old Lin’s house is at the northernmost end of Linjia Village. The only neighbors are Lindashan’s house about 200 meters away on the left and Grandpa Bao’s house about 300 meters away on the right.

Behind the courtyards of the three families is a grove, and behind the grove is a large piece of wasteland and distant mountains, while the front of the courtyard faces Damei Mountain.

Lin Qingxi heard from her grandmother Ye Shi that Lin Dashan and his wife are honest people, but they are too honest.

Two years ago, because Lin Dashan's mother loved her younger son too much, she asked her eldest son Lin Dashan to sell his two children in order to prepare money for the younger son's marriage.

As the saying goes, "clay figurines still have three points of temperament." Lin Dashan didn't agree, so his mother broke up and gave them nothing except five acres of Susukida.

They lived in this earthen house in the north of the village. The old village head, Grandpa Hao, felt sorry for him and asked a few villagers to help them build it.

Both Lin Dashan and Lin Zhongguo have played together since they were young. They usually take their sons out to do part-time jobs together. His eldest son Lin Shitou is 15 years old, his eldest daughter Lin Juhua is 12 years old, and his second daughter Lin Cuihua is eight years old. Years old, the newborn son is only three days old.

On the other side, Grandpa Bao’s family was also ill-fated. Grandpa Bao’s wife, eldest son, and daughter-in-law all died. Now only Grandpa Bao, his five-year-old grandson, and a 20-year-old grandson are left in the family. Linhu, the youngest son who did not marry a wife.

Linhu is a well-known stunned young man in Linjia Village. He has often caused troubles for Grandpa Bao since he was a child, but because he is righteous and powerful, although he has an impulsive temper, he is very popular in the village.

Lin Qingxi has a good impression of Lin Hu who has never met before, but she has heard from Lin Qingmu that after she was beaten in the head by Cao Agou that day, Lin Hu couldn't be more angry, so she gathered a few people who usually have a good relationship with him Villagers, go to Caojia Village to find Cao Agou to settle accounts.

Although the fight failed in the end, he knocked a big hole into the stone wall, so a lot of river water from the upper reaches flowed downstream.

After this incident, people from Linjia Village and Zhaojia Village who lived downstream all praised Linhu, saying that he had finally done a good deed.

On this day, heavy snowflakes fell in the dark sky early in the morning. After Lin Qingxi got up, a white layer of snow had already fallen in the yard. Move water tanks around the yard.

"Mother, why did you put the water tank in the kitchen in the yard?" Lin Qingxi trotted to Mu's side, and stretched out her small hand to pat the snow on her body.

"Sister, snow can be turned into water, so there is no need to go to the Shanmei River to fetch water!" Lin Qingmu answered her question first.

It turned out that this is the case, this Linjia Village is really short of water.When it snows heavily, maybe the river will freeze tomorrow morning. It is indeed not easy for the villagers to get water.

After lunch, Lin Juhua, the eldest daughter of Lin Dashan, came to Lao Lin's house with a needle, thread and a flower frame.

The last time when Mrs. Mu went to visit Mrs. Mei who was giving birth, Lin Juhua boldly asked Mrs. Mu if she could learn embroidery from Mrs. Qin. She had seen Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wu sitting together to embroider.

She also heard that these can be sold for money, and now her younger sister can help her do some of the work at home in winter, so she can free up time to learn embroidery, which can also add income to the family.

Mrs. Mu also knew that the peasant girl's life was not easy, so she agreed with her wholeheartedly. She went home and talked to Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin readily agreed.

Lin Qingxi also took the opportunity to propose to follow the Qin family to learn female celebrities. Only then did she know that her sister-in-law was actually the daughter of a scholar. Before she got married, she was also a young lady at a small door. This is a different place to settle down.

Embroidery, Lin Qingxi is no stranger at all, these days she was so attracted by the deep mountains, she almost forgot this skill that she is most proud of in modern times.

Lin Qingxi finished her university studies while working part time. After leaving school, she was an orphan born in an orphanage without any connections or backgrounds, so she could only find her own way to find a job.

As the saying goes: "Telephone poles crush people to death, and nine out of ten are college students." It is hard to find a job, and Linqingxi is not as reluctant to lose face as those proud college students. She has worked as a cleaner, waiter, Sale……

In the end, I learned from a master embroidery master in Suzhou for a period of time, and even went to Suzhou to sell embroidery.She stayed in Suzhou for three years. Although she didn't earn a lot of money, she learned Suzhou embroidery very well.

It's a pity that he was plotted against by villains later, and was forced to leave Suzhou to find another way of life.

Although she doesn't have good needlework in her hands now, she is exquisite in craftsmanship, not to mention her best Su embroidery, even the half-level Hunan embroidery and Shu embroidery, which can shine in this different time and space.

Therefore, in the past few days, she took the opportunity of learning embroidery from her two sister-in-laws to get acquainted with Hunan embroidery first.

At the beginning, when Qin Shi, Wu Shi, Lin Juhua and Lin Qingxi were sitting around the fire in the house embroidering, the other three didn't take Lin Qingxi who was the youngest seriously, they just felt that she was embroidering with her head down. He was so serious that he didn't raise his head all morning.

"Sister Xi, don't worry, take your time!" At the end of the day, Lin Juhua, who is diligent and studious, can already embroider a decent little flower, but she sees that Lin Qingxi has been competing with a petal.

Qin and Wu also told Lin Qingxi not to worry. In fact, what they didn't know was that Lin Qingxi just used Hunan embroidery on the petals that had been embroidered, stitched, scattered, Familiarize yourself with needle rolling, stitching and other stitches.

After all, she hadn't touched embroidery needles for a long time in modern times, and she was really afraid that she would forget, but luckily she remembered.

The morning of the third day after the heavy snowfall was surprisingly cold, the snow that was more than a foot thick had not yet melted, and the second snow was coming soon.

Lin Juhua and Lin Qingxi have been learning embroidery from Qin and Wu for ten days. With their hard work day and night and their red, swollen and frozen hands, Lin Juhua's embroidered things can already be sold in the town for money. There was only one penny, but when she first heard the news from Mrs. Wu, she still wept with joy.

"How did girl Xi become a stupid girl? She learned it together with Sister Chrysanthemum, and now she doesn't even know how to embroider a single flower. Brother Six, forget it, let's stop embroidering!" Lin Qingmu saw Lin Qingxi's small hands During these days, he had been red, swollen and frozen to death due to embroidery practice. Although he tried his best to gather firewood for them to burn every day, he still felt distressed.

Come on, she just finished getting familiar with acupuncture and is about to do a big job!

Therefore, Lin Qingxi smiled and said to Lin Qingmu who came into the house with firewood: "Sixth Brother, haven't you heard of 'Stupid Birds Fly First'! I still hope to sell embroidery to make money, and I will use it for you to marry a wife in the future!"

"Hehe!" Seeing Lin Qingxi teasing Lin Qingmu, several members of the Qin family couldn't help being amused by her childish words.

"Go, go, what are you kidding! Sixth brother should work hard and save up a dowry for our little sister!" Lin Qingmu actually learned Lin Qingfei's usual way of speaking, and in turn teased Lin Qingxi.
