Xiang Shichu didn't know that the royalties he earned would bring such great excitement to Wu Qingxuan, which would shake her confidence. But if she knew, she wouldn't care. She cares about living her little life comfortably. .
Since receiving the first manuscript fee, the second, third and many others have arrived one after another. Xiang Shichu can now live a very comfortable life just relying on his own manuscript fee, and his family is much better off. , she bought everything from washing machines to TV sets. As long as she had the ability, she didn’t want to lower her standards. The rare thing was that Ye Jin didn’t have any objections. He didn’t think it was okay for his wife to spend so much money on expensive appliances. Nothing wrong with it, but I agree with it.
Xiang Nan gradually grew up and could walk and talk. He chattered like a sparrow at home all day, and his mouth rarely stopped.
Sometimes Xiang Shichu had to write a manuscript and found him annoying, so he left him to Ye Jin. Ye Jin didn't have any objections, and sometimes even took Xiang Nan to work in the museum, so Xiang Nan became familiar with the museum. , following Ye Jin and Ye Jin’s colleagues, they got to know many cultural relics. Once, a historical drama was played on TV, which talked about a bronze sword. After Xiang Nan saw it, he told the story of the bronze sword. Xiang Shichu was very surprised when he got the clear answer.
"Xiao Nannan, I didn't expect you to have this ability. My sister and I are impressed." Xiang Shichu touched his head and said with emotion.
Child Xiang Nan said with pride: "Uncle Zhou told me, I remember."
"Who is Uncle Zhou?" Xiang Shichu asked again.
"It's a colleague of mine." It was Ye Jin who answered her.
"It seems that he is very familiar with your colleagues, and he can learn skills from them." Xiang Shichu said happily to Ye Jin.
"It's Xiang Nan who is curious. He likes to ask about everything he sees." Ye Jin said calmly.
"It's up to your colleagues to answer him patiently and not to be perfunctory with children. Your colleagues are very good people." Xiang Shichu said with a hint of understanding.
Ye Jin nodded: "They are indeed pretty good."
"Then should we invite them to our house for dinner one day as a reward for their help in taking care of Xiang Nan at work?" Xiang Shichu asked.
After hearing this, Ye Jin frowned and said, "They won't want to come. If you can, just give me some small gifts."
Ye Jin, as a colleague, said this, and Xiang Shichu no longer bothered about treating guests. After all, most of the people working in the museum were social terrorists?
"Then I have to think about what gifts to give them." Xiang Shichu murmured.
Ye Jin looked up at her and said, "They liked the handkerchief embroidered with green bamboo that you gave me last time."
Xiang Shichu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly approached him and asked: "Then I can embroider a handkerchief for each of them? I can embroider, by the way, how many colleagues do you have? Let me see if the fabric at home is enough. If not, I have to buy some..."
"Twenty-five, if you're too tired, don't show it off, just buy it." Ye Jin replied.
"No, this is a gift from me to thank them for taking care of Xiang Nan. How can I make up the money with what I bought? Of course I have to embroider it myself to be sincere." Xiang Shichu said immediately, and there were only twenty handkerchiefs, so she couldn't afford them. How much time does it take to embroider yourself?
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
"What they like is your embroidery method." Ye Jin said reluctantly, "Just embroider small animals for them casually, there is no need to spend too much time on it."
"Okay, I will think about it myself." Xiang Shichu was perfunctory while he was already thinking about how to prepare embroidery thread and patterns.
Seeing that her attention was no longer on him, Ye Jin had a look of helplessness on his face, so he had no choice but to hold Xiang Nan in his arms and watch TV with him.
After a few days, Xiang Shichu took out more than 20 elegant and exquisite handkerchiefs. Each handkerchief had different patterns on it, including animals, puppies, kittens, parrots... and plants. Such as orchids, red plums, water lilies...
All in all, they were very beautiful. When Ye Jin saw them, he was a little reluctant to give these handkerchiefs to his careless colleagues, so he said, "Giving them to them is a waste."
When Xiang Shichu heard what he said, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can it be wasted? These handkerchiefs are only more expensive in terms of fabric and embroidery thread. I embroidered the patterns myself. How simple it is."
Ye Jin refuted her seriously and said, "This is not simple at all. Your embroidery skills are very precious."
"Okay, then I'll thank you for the compliment. You think it's precious, but others don't think so? Okay, give these to them. If you still want them, I'll make a few more for you. That'll be fine for the head office. Bar?"
"Okay." Ye Jin agreed immediately as if he was waiting for her words.
After finally convincing Ye Jin to give these small gifts to his colleagues, Xiang Shichu turned around and pinched the face of Xiang Nan, a child who was playing with toys on the bamboo mat, and said, "Sister, this is all for you. My fingers are almost going to be bald."
"Sister." Xiang Nan smiled and ran into her arms. He had no idea what his sister had done for him. He just wanted to play with her: "Let's play with cars with me."
"Play." Xiang Shichu also had to spend time with his younger brother while writing manuscripts.
Ye Jin took the handkerchiefs embroidered by Xiang Shichu to the work unit and handed them to Zhou Zhou: "These are the handkerchiefs embroidered by sister Xiang Nan. I give them to you as a thank you gift to say thank you for helping take care of Xiang Nan."
Zhou Zhou took the handkerchiefs and looked at them, and couldn't help but marveled in surprise: "Your wife's embroidery skills are so good. These handkerchiefs look like works of art. If you buy them, they must be very expensive, right? Are you really willing to give them up?" Take it out and give it to us?”
He looked through the beautiful and lifelike embroideries one by one, and couldn't put it down every one of them. Finally, he looked at Ye Jin pleadingly: "Can I get a few more? I like every one of them very much..."
Ye Jin looked at him expressionlessly and replied: "There is only one dream."
Zhou Zhou looked disappointed and had no choice but to reluctantly give the handkerchief away. When other colleagues learned that it was given to them by Ye Jin's lover, they were also very happy. After all, although the handkerchief was a small item, it was The embroidery on it makes this handkerchief a work of art.
They are professionals. Although they may not necessarily understand the embroidery skills of each dynasty, they still have good eyesight. Naturally, they saw how brilliant and exquisite the embroidery skills Xiang Shichu used on these handkerchiefs.
The curator even went to Ye Jin and said, "These handkerchiefs embroidered by your lover, I saw that the embroidery techniques inside are different from our four major embroidery techniques, but they are equally exquisite and skillful. Unfortunately, I don't know much about this aspect." , I would like to ask what kind of embroidery method your lover learned? Do you know?"
