Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Who in Cangzhou would she want to meet?

I thought about it over and over for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

I fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up, she found Yun Duo still busy under the lamp and couldn't help but remind her.

"Yun Duo, you are hurting your eyes so much. You are so young, what should you do if you damage your eyes?"

The clouds smiled peacefully.

"It's okay, Sister Siyu. I've been living like this for more than a year. I'm used to it."

Liu Siyu sat up, hugged the quilt, pulled Yun Duo's cold little hand and rubbed it in her hands.

"I see you embroider well, why don't you take some profitable embroidery work? You can't make a few cents even if you stay up all night at these two cents a piece."

Yun Duo's little face suddenly wrinkled into a small bun.

"It's not easy to make money. First of all, you need to have good patterns and the embroidery work must be good. I have seen few patterns and no one taught me. These are all figured out by my mother and I."

Liu Siyu frowned. She had never done embroidery before and lacked knowledge in this area.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Next time you deliver embroidery, I'll go with you. Maybe we'll find something new."

There was a smile in Yun Duo's delicate eyes.

"Okay, I'll deliver the embroidery tomorrow," she said, taking out a cloth bag from the sewing basket.

When she opened it, there were already 4 embroidered purses inside. Yun Duo put the newly embroidered one together.

"I always exchange for new ones after I embroider five."

The wind was howling coldly, and the weather, which had been sunny for many days, suddenly turned gloomy.

Yun Duo got up early and changed into clean clothes.

Liu Siyu also explained the reason to Sihan.

Although Liu Sihan also wanted to go, it was not convenient for him to follow the two girls to the jewelry shop, so he had to stay at Li Lao's house and wait.

Led by Yun Duo, the two came to a small jewelry shop.

As usual, Yun Duo handed the embroidery work to the shopkeeper, and then took on new embroidery work.

Liu Siyu was admiring other people's embroidery. The more complicated ones usually had patterns and were accompanied by poems or words.

The simpler ones are usually flowers and cordyceps.

Liu Siyu paid special attention to those whose labor cost was more than five cents, whose patterns were not too complicated, and whose meanings were very happy.

I think it’s not difficult to learn.

Of course, the premise is that she, who has clumsy hands, does not have to do embroidery work. It is still quite simple for her to just move her lips and draw a few patterns.

This time, Yun Duo received 5 empty purses again. Walking on the street, Liu Siyu deliberately went to the grain shop.

We bought 80 kilograms of cornmeal. Yunduo was responsible for carrying 20 kilograms, and she was responsible for the remaining 60 kilograms.

Remembering that Xi's elder sister had just had a miscarriage, she bought two kilograms of brown sugar.

When I turned the corner, I saw the little sugar man and took 10 of them without hesitation.

Yun Duo looked envious, and Liu Siyu took out one and handed it to Yun Duo.

"Here's this little candy man for you. Try it and see if it's sweet."

Yun Duo's delighted little face hesitated for a moment.

"I don't want it. I'm so old and still eating candy people makes people laugh."

Liu Siyu raised her hand and stuffed the candy man directly into Yun Duo's mouth.

"You can only accept it with a smile. It's so stained with your saliva that you can't let others eat it."

Yun Duo licked it and her eyes suddenly became red. She had grown up, but no one except her parents had ever treated her like a child.

With a crying voice, she said, "Thank you."

Liu Siyu smiled and touched her hair.

"You're welcome. This little sugar man is for your encouragement. Go back and think of new designs. I've seen a few simple ones that look pretty good. I'll draw them and leave them for you when the time comes."

"Practice more in your free time. I believe that with your skills, you will soon be able to take on embroidery jobs that pay five cents."

"Yeah," Yun Duo also showed some anticipation in her eyes.

When she returned home, Yun Duoer shyly took out a cloth bag from the sewing basket.

When it was carefully unfolded in front of Liu Siyu, a lotus bud was embroidered on a piece of coarse linen, but the colors were too messy.

Liu Siyu frowned slightly, "Did you embroider this lotus?"

The clouds smiled faintly.

"This is a new pattern I've been thinking about for a long time. When I have free time, I practice it on this old cloth. What do you think?"

"The lotus looks okay, but the color combination is too messy."

Liu Siyu told the truth.

Yun Duo blushed suddenly.

"These are all made up of the leftover threads from my embroidery work. I thought I could use the silk thread better once I've practiced it."

Liu Siyu was slightly moved. She didn't expect that Yun Duo was so smart and had an active mind. She wasn't the kind of person who only cared about working hard.

I gave Yun Duo a big thumbs up without hesitation.

"You are awesome. With your passion for research, you will definitely find your own value on this path."

There was a gleam of anticipation in Yun Duo's eyes.

Liu Siyu looked very happy. She was born in such a family and suffered so much since childhood, but not only was she not defeated by life, but she became more tenacious.

This is good. As long as she doesn't go astray, she will be able to find her own way sooner or later.

"I'll draw a few new patterns for you. You can practice more when you have nothing to do. I look forward to you embroidering a five-cent purse."

Yun Duo nodded seriously.

Liu Siyu found a branch and drew a peach-shaped purse on the wall, which symbolizes love.

I also chose a ruyi-shaped one with the word "Fu" or "Shou" on it.

There are also patterns such as gourds and ingots that are very popular among children. Adding peace and auspiciousness next to them is also a good meaning.

These were things she saw in the jewelry shop and should be in line with this era.

As for fish playing on lotus leaves and mandarin ducks playing in water, they are difficult to draw and Liu Siyu does not have the painting skills to do so.

The clouds' eyes sparkled.

Pointing at the not-so-neat words, he said, "Sister Siyu, you can still read!"

"Yeah," Liu Siyu said without hiding anything.

"These are words with good meanings. I've seen that most of the embroidery in jewelry shops have such words on them."

Yun Duo looked at Liu Siyu with admiration.

"Sister Siyu, what are these words?"

Liu Siyu pointed at the word "Fu" and said, "Fu usually means blessing, wishing the owner happiness and good fortune. It also means blessing from heaven, implying the prosperity of the family."

He pointed at the Ruyi cloud pattern and said, "These two have similar meanings, both mean good luck and good fortune."

"Sihan will go to school in the future. You can ask him if you have any words you don't understand."

"Yeah," Yun Duo had different expectations for the new life.

In the afternoon, a cold wind began to blow and the weather became even gloomier.

Liu Siyu looked up at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's going to rain."

Liu Sihan also tightened her cotton jacket.

"It was quite warm yesterday, but it suddenly became so cold today. I wonder if it will snow?"

Liu Siyu didn't answer, but just quickened her pace to go home.

When I returned to Yingshan Village, Lai Xi was already waiting at home.

Liu Siyu then remembered that Lai Xi had said he would come to pick her up today.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, something delayed me today."
