When it snowed a few days ago, the rain made a meal of dumplings stuffed with fennel. The old lady also said at the time, "It's rare to be able to eat dumplings stuffed with fennel in this winter. I'm afraid only the one in the palace had this kind of treatment back then."
Now Yuyu said that today's dumplings with fennel stuffing were approved by everyone.
"What are we talking about?" He Xiaotian and He Yuzhu also arrived home.
"We were talking about the dumplings with fennel filling today."
"Just in time, Zhuzi and I both got meat today. Let's make dumplings today!"
"We have meat. Three kilograms of meat is too much for me. Let's save some for the New Year." The old lady couldn't bear to part with it. Three kilograms of meat for a meal of dumplings was too extravagant.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
He Xiaotian took advantage of the fact that the New Year was not yet over and went to Deputy Director Zhao’s house to pay New Year greetings. Of course, Director Wang, Secretary Yang, and Factory Director Li’s families all went there, but these three families were just going through the motions.
"Xiao He, I heard that Xiao Yang gave you three new workshops to be in charge?"
"Um."
"Is there any difficulty? Xiao Gao told me that Xiao Yang has given you a problem."
"Old leader, I can solve it. As long as the machine is in place and you practice it for half a month to a month, there will basically be no problem. But I'm afraid it won't work if you want to process special parts."
"Well, that's good. After all, they are basically apprentices. It's impossible to ask them to make special parts. If you have difficulties, you can ask Xiao Gaobang for help. There are still two seventh-level workers in his workshop to support you. it is also fine."
"I know."
Deputy Director Zhao admires He Xiaotian very much, because He Xiaotian does not fight or grab, and is a practical person.
There was no one to visit, so He Xiaotian stayed with Liu Xia at home. Of course, as deputy factory directors, Director Qian, Lin Ke, and Jiang Quan also came to wish He Xiaotian a happy birthday.
He Xiaotian also gave them some fresh vegetables so that they could have a new dish during the New Year.
Sun Juan and Yu Yu were busy making clothes in the house. After buying the cloth, it was natural to make clothes.
Sun Juan measured the dimensions and cut the fabric. Rainwater is sewn there with a sewing machine.
"Oh, what a pity. It's such a pity that this navy blue cloth is used. With just this little color difference, the clothes can't be made." The old lady looked at the cloth and shook her head with regret.
"If one or two is okay, there will be a few color differences every half meter. It is indeed a pity. Otherwise, how many clothes could be made from this piece of cloth!" Gao Cuilan also felt it was a pity.
He Xiaotian hadn't noticed it yet, but now that he heard what the old lady said, he came over to take a look. "This cloth is good. Isn't it also good for making clothes?"
"You idiot, look here, here. There are color differences. The clothes are made so that they can't be worn."
"Yu Yu, can you embroider?" He Yuzhu turned to ask Yu Yu.
"No." Yuyu didn't even raise his head.
"You mean to embroider on these spots?" Gao Cuilan understood immediately.
"Well, you see, these spots are all regular. There should be something wrong during the printing and dyeing. If we make clothes for the old lady, we can embroider a plum tree. If we make clothes for us, we can embroider them with navy blue thread. On the pattern of auspicious clouds. Can we just cover up these spots?"
"It's true!" Liu Xia observed carefully. Although these spots had color differences, they were very regular and not chaotic.
"It's a pity that no one in our family knows how to embroider." He Xiaotian was also a pity.
"I can embroider." Gao Cuilan said happily, "Juanzi, come here, measure the size of the old lady, let me try it after the rainwater is ready. See the effect." After Gao Cuilan said that, she went home to get the embroidery. Line.
Sun Juan also wants to see the effect. If it works, this piece of cloth will be worth buying. Yuyu also put down the clothes he was making for He Yuzhu, and first made some clothes for the old lady.
The sewing machine is so fast that I can finish it during lunch.
"Okay, stop working. Let's have lunch first." He Yuzhu went out to make a banquet for others today, so He Xiaotian made lunch.
After lunch, Gao Cuilan began to embroider plum blossoms on the old lady's new clothes. Gao Cuilan's embroidery work is very detailed and very good. No one thought that Gao Cuilan had this skill, not even the old lady. She used to do these things, but as she got older, she couldn't see clearly and couldn't hold the embroidery needle. Watching Gao Cuilan doing embroidery work, the old lady nodded.
Embroidery is a delicate job and quite time-consuming.
Liu Xia saw that everyone was busy, so she and the old lady sat there like two old Buddhas. The cartons were also pasted, and I was bored with nothing to do.
He Xiaotian was still considerate and turned on the radio. Everyone listened to the radio and chatted warmly.
It took Gao Cuilan two days to embroider the plum blossoms on her clothes.
"Beautiful! It's so beautiful!" Yuyu couldn't bear to put down the clothes.
It is indeed beautiful, simply a work of art.
"Hahaha, this is still a bit rushed. If I have enough time, I can embroider better." Gao Cuilan smiled. Who doesn't want to be admitted and admired?
"Aunt Gao, you can embroider one for me too!" Yuyu said in a coquettish tone.
"Okay, okay."
"Stop being such a spoiled brat, give me the clothes. I'll iron them and let the old lady try them on." Sun Juan smiled, took the clothes from Yu Yu, and started ironing them with the iron.
I made a set of clothes, a top and pants. The plum tree is embroidered on the top, and it is dotted with plum blossoms. There are plum blossoms falling on the pants. It fit the old lady very well and looked very beautiful when she put it on.
He Xiaotian and He Yuzhu were busy having lunch in the kitchen, and were attracted by the exclamations in the room.
"Where did this fairy come from? How did she get to our house?" He Yuzhu's exaggerated words made the room burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"You stupid Zhuzhu! Are you happy with me, an old lady? Really." The old lady also liked this outfit very much.
"Old lady, I am praising you for being young and beautiful!"
"How old am I? Still beautiful? Then I am no longer an old goblin?"
"Hahaha!"
"Sister Gao, this is your skill!" He Xiaotian gave a thumbs up.
"Yes! Gao, your craftsmanship is really impressive." The old lady also praised.
"Where, where. Juanzi's cutting is better, and the spots are arranged very well. Only I can embroider well." Gao Cuilan said modestly.
"Aunt Gao's craftsmanship is better. I would also like to trouble you to embroider one for Yu Yu." Sun Juan actually thought about it, but she was a little embarrassed.
"Everyone praises me. As long as you like it, I will embroider it for you." It was rare for Gao Cuilan to do something for her family, and she was very happy.
"Thank you, Aunt Gao. Thank you sister-in-law too." Yuyu was the happiest, and took Sun Juan to measure the clothes.
