Chapter 179 The Pouch is Sold for Money
As soon as Lu Qingqing arrived home,
Then she heard Daya and Erya happily greeting her:
"Auntie, Auntie!"
Lu Qingqing has been extremely busy lately.
I didn't pay much attention to the children in the family either.
Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the two girls seemed to have grown a bit more.
Daya has grown into an increasingly beautiful young woman.
A clever glint appeared in his eyes;
Er Ya, on the other hand, still looked as cute and adorable as ever.
Her two dimples when she smiles are especially endearing.
Lu Qingqing was filled with guilt and love.
He reached out and patted their heads, saying:
"My dear child, your aunt has been so busy lately."
I haven't had a proper chance to play with you guys.
How's your embroidery class going lately?
Did you behave well?
Daya answered crisply:
"Auntie, we've been very good!"
We've also learned new needlework techniques, look.
As they spoke,
Daya then took out several delicate and elegant purses from her sleeve.
Lu Qingqing reached out and took it.
I was instantly drawn to the exquisite pattern on the purse.
She said in surprise:
"Da Ya, did you embroider this?"
This set of plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum purses is really beautiful.
Daya's face beamed with pride.
He nodded vigorously.
“It was embroidered by Er Ya and me, Auntie.”
My master taught me a new technique for embroidering plum blossom stamens.
As soon as we learned how to make it, we immediately made a set to give to our aunt.
Lu Qingqing was deeply moved.
Looking again at the purse in his hand,
I increasingly feel that every stitch is filled with the love and care my two children have for me.
She squatted down.
He pulled Daya and Erya into his arms and said:
"You two are such sweet little darlings."
My aunt received this gift.
Don't be too happy.
This purse is so beautifully embroidered.
It must have taken a lot of time and effort.
Er Ya interrupted, saying:
"Auntie, my sister and I embroider whenever we have free time."
She even embroidered by moonlight at night.
I'm just hoping my aunt can see it soon.
Hearing Er Ya's words, Lu Qingqing was deeply moved.
Her eyes were slightly red.
Gently stroking Daya and Erya's hair:
"Silly child, don't ruin your eyes by embroidering this."
Auntie knows how you feel.
This is the most precious gift my aunt has ever received.
At this moment, Wang Xiuxiu came out of the house.
said laughingly:
"Qingqing, you're back."
Those two girls are really something.
As soon as I got home, I kept saying I had good news to tell you.
Lu Qingqing looked at Daya and Erya,
I noticed the two girls were acting mysteriously.
They all took things out of their sleeves.
After the two of them stretched out their hands,
What came into view were two silver ingots, each worth ten taels of silver.
Wang Xiuxiu stared wide-eyed in surprise, and asked in confusion:
"Da Ya, Er Ya, where did you get so much money?"
Daya said with a proud look:
"Mom, Auntie asked us to sell the plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum embroidered purses!"
A peddler came to the shop today.
I especially liked the embroidered pouches from the set we made.
They say it's finely crafted and has a novel design.
They bought them all at once.
I also bought some other things from the store.
The proprietress said these are our own embroidery pieces.
So they gave us the money for the embroidery.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuxiu was both surprised and delighted.
He looked gently at Daya and Erya and said:
My two adorable daughters are so wonderful.
"At such a young age, she's already earning money with her skills."
As she spoke, she gently patted the heads of the two children.
Er Ya excitedly added:
"Mother, that peddler also said..."
If we have more beautiful embroidery in the future,
He'll buy them all next time he comes.
Lu Qingqing smiled with satisfaction and said:
"Da Ya and Er Ya are really amazing."
This is the result of your hard work in learning embroidery.
Daya and Erya blushed with pride at the compliments.
Her eyes were full of joy. Daya said:
"Auntie, if it weren't for your help in coming up with this idea..."
We never imagined such a novel and unique style when they drew pictures for us.
Even a peddler wouldn't like that.
We don't make any money either; it's all thanks to you, Auntie."
Then, Daya and Erya said in unison,
Aunt,
We want to give you our first earnings.
If it weren't for your idea of sending us to learn a trade,
We can't earn this money either.
Lu Qingqing's eyes reddened slightly, her heart filled with emotion.
She knelt down and looked tenderly at the two children.
Said:
"Da Ya, Er Ya, your aunt knows how you feel."
This money is what you've worked so hard to earn, your aunt can't accept it.
You keep them.
You can go and buy any little trinkets you like.
Or save it up and do something more meaningful later.
Daya said somewhat anxiously:
"Auntie, you've done so much for us and our parents."
We are grateful, please accept this.
We just want to make you happy.
Er Ya chimed in, her eyes full of anticipation:
"Yes, Auntie, please accept it."
Wang Xiuxiu watched this scene from the side.
His eyes were full of satisfaction:
"Qingqing, look, the children are also sincere."
You might as well just accept it.
This is their token of affection; if you don't accept it...
They're probably still feeling terrible inside.
Lu Qingqing gently hugged the two children and said:
"Da Ya, Er Ya, you two are so kind."
My aunt was already very happy.
You are still young.
There will be many places where I need money in the future.
When you're a little older, we'll open your own embroidery shop.
Wouldn't it be better if you made money in the future?
Your mother and I are still waiting to enjoy your good fortune.
Lu Qingqing smiled and gently pinched Daya's cheek.
Said:
"Besides, even if I did offer an idea,
But it was you who embroidered these patterns.
Look at this needlework, this color scheme!
These are all the results of your careful consideration.
My aunt was just suggesting a small idea.
You guys are the truly impressive ones.
Er Ya also said with a smile:
"Auntie, we want to embroider even more beautiful things in the future!"
Make lots and lots of money
I'll buy lots of pretty clothes for my aunt and mother then.
Lu Qingqing hugged the two children tightly, deeply moved.
Said:
"Auntie is so lucky to have such thoughtful children like you."
It makes me happier than wearing any pretty clothes.
At this time,
Wang Xiuxiu watched this heartwarming scene from the side.
His eyes were full of smiles:
"Qingqing, you are good to the children."
The children all remember it.
Lu Qingqing looked up at Wang Xiuxiu and said:
"Sister-in-law, we're all family."
The children are so sensible.
I will naturally help them out more.
And watching them improve little by little
I was especially happy.
The group was having a warm conversation.
A bullock cart slowly came to a stop in front of Lu Qingqing's house.
The group looked closely,
It turned out to be Wang Xiuxiu's older brother, Wang Yuan.
He was also carrying several cleaned chickens in his hand.
Wang Xiuxiu quickly stepped forward and said:
"Big brother, what brings you here?"
Daya and Erya quickly and politely called out:
"uncle!"
Lu Qingqing saw that the person who came was Wang Yuan's older brother.
He greeted her with a smile:
"Brother Wang Yuan, please come inside and sit down!"
You always bring things when you come; you're so kind.
Wang Yuan walked into the courtyard with a smile.
The chicken was placed on the table next to it.
"Xiuxiu, Qingqing"
Mother asked me to bring you some chickens to help you recover.
He then turned back to the oxcart.
He placed a large basket of eggs on the table.
"Mother also said that these eggs were laid by our own chickens."
It's still fresh!
You can give the children more to eat too.
Let them grow.
