Chapter 136 Can I go through the back door?
The old woman smiled and said: "I have never studied, but I have always liked it. I would paint and play in my spare time. My son bought me some colored pens and paints before going to the coal mine. , but I was always busy and couldn’t take care of painting. It’s a pity that now I have time to paint, but I can’t show it to my son.”
Guan Youshuang has never denied the existence of talent.
She has learned painting herself and knows that painting is a skill that requires talent.
Similarly, people who are so talented in painting naturally have their own ideas and characters.
She actually naively believed that if she was given a few more days to think about it, she would go to work in the embroidery factory.
She suddenly felt that she was a little too much.
"You also said last time that you want to embroider on the carpet. The textures of these paintings I drew are relatively thick, you can refer to them."
"Thank you, auntie."
The old woman shook her head and said, "It's nothing. If you need help in the future, just ask."
"Okay."
After coming out of the old woman's house, Guan Youshuang was filled with emotions.
It can be seen that Gu Errong was also surprised. He did not expect that the old woman was so good at painting.
Guan Youshuang said: "I forgot to tell you just now that the paintings on their walls were all embroidered by the aunt herself."
Gu Errong was even more surprised: "Really? She Do you know how to embroider?”
“Her stitching is very fine and even, just like the drawing. Anyway, it’s very good.”
Gu Errong nodded and said: "Actually, there are many powerful people around us, but they just don't have the opportunity or platform to show off their talents."
Gu Errong said about his distant aunt, who is also his grandfather's distant cousin. That aunt is very good at paper-cutting. She can cut out anything she sees immediately, especially flowers, birds, fish and insects, which are lifelike.
Every year before the Chinese New Year, people line up to ask her to cut the window grilles from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. Even people from other villages come here.
For such a powerful craftsman, let alone any opportunity to get ahead, he has never left the village in his life.
Gu Errong smiled sarcastically and said: "At that time, the county held a lecture on the inheritance of craftsmanship. The foreign craftsmen invited had a lot of theory, but let them show off their talents, and the things they made were terrible. "
Guan Youshuang nodded, of course she believed it.
It’s natural to understand.
The reason why she wanted to open an embroidery factory was not just to let everyone make money, but also to hope that these women with special skills could see their own advantages and talents.
Even, with such a platform, their works can be seen by more people, and thus there will be more development opportunities.
Of course, this is a later story.
As they walked and chatted, they came to a corner of the market, where an uncle was sitting in front of a simple straw hat machine making straw hats.
Guan Youshuang remembers reading a news story in her last life, saying that a woman went hiking and wore a hat with only one brim, and died of heat stroke.
She remembered a comment saying that it was this kind of hat that killed this woman. Only straw hats like those in rural areas are really cool.
She wanted to try.
Uncle Straw Hat was wearing a faded blue shirt and an old straw hat that had become somewhat deformed. His face was dark and shiny due to the sun.
His hands were skillfully busy on the straw hat machine, and the white straw braids passed through his hands and gradually weaved into shape.
That straw hat machine looks a bit like an old-fashioned sewing machine.
The uncle stepped on the pedal to turn the machine, and the straw hat machine made a clicking sound. The uncle's fingers flexibly moved the straw braids to shape them.
There are several completed straw hats placed on a small table next to them. Their shapes are regular, the weaving texture is clearly visible, and the craftsmanship is fine.
The uncle raised his head from time to time and glanced at the passing villagers. "Uncle, how much does this straw hat cost?" Guan Youshuang asked.
“One dollar. It’s perfect for wearing in summer, it provides sun protection and is breathable.”
Perhaps he was worried that Guan Youshuang would find it too expensive, so the uncle added: “These are all hand-knitted. They are different from those sold in stores. They are made of good wheat straw and are durable."
"Okay, I want 4 for adults and 1 for children. By the way, a child of fifteen or sixteen years old. Which one should I wear? ”
The uncle probably didn't expect that Guan Youshuang would suddenly buy so much, so he quickly said: "I'm fifteen or sixteen years old, so I'm about the same age as my daughter. I'll make one right away."
Gu Errong asked: "Why did you buy so much? ? There are two more at home.”
“The ones at home are too old, let’s replace them together.”
“Shouldn’t Yuanyuan use them?” Why not? When he goes on summer vacation, I will take him to work and exercise."
Guan Youshuang continued: "Xiaoyun is the same, he needs to work."
"Then. Okay, I will go home on Saturdays and weekends to work with you.”
How can this be done?
You can come back at any time, except Saturdays and weekends!
"Who said you are coming back? Just work overtime on Saturdays and weekends to earn money, don't always think about running home."
Gu Errong couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't you buy me a straw hat too?"
"Who said I bought it for you? I can't have two hats by myself. I wear one and put one away."< br>
Gu Errong:! !
"By the way, we don't have anything in our house now, and it always feels a bit empty. I want to buy a puppy."
Gu Errong nodded and said, "Okay, Let’s go over there and have a look.”
The straw hat uncle raised his head and said, “Our dog just gave birth to a litter of puppies, all of them are white. If you want one, I’ll give you one. ”
Guan Youshuang hesitated: “I have never raised a dog and have no experience. Is it easy to raise a newborn puppy?” Just give me some. I'll help you raise it for a few days and bring it to you in half a month."
"Okay, thank you, uncle. I'll give you the money for how much the dog will cost. "
"No, I originally planned to give it to the neighbors, you can just keep it."
"Okay, then I'll come to the market on the weekend in two weeks."
"Okay."
Although the uncle said there was no need for money, Guan Youshuang still paid more for the straw hat. I paid the uncle ten yuan.
With puppies, there will always be more life in the yard.
This winter, she wants to make a garden in the yard and plant all kinds of beautiful flowers. Next spring, the carpet factory will probably run more smoothly. She plans to renovate a few more houses. .
Gu Errong held a straw hat in one hand and Guan Youshuang in the other and said, "By the way, I called you before and told you that your application for driving lessons has been approved. When do you plan to learn to drive?" ? How about we go up together this time? "
"Wait until the high school entrance examination is over. I remember you said you need to learn maintenance in order to learn how to drive? "
"Hmm. "Can I go through the back door?"
Gu Errong was stunned: "You don't want to learn maintenance?"
Guan Youshuang said confidently: "I took the driver's license test to drive, not to open an auto repair shop. Do you think he was stupid to set this subject?"
Gu Errong couldn't laugh or cry: "Then you occasionally do it while driving? What should you do if you encounter a vehicle breakdown? ”
Thank you Zi Zhushanbao for your monthly pass
