Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Lin Yu and Chunlin chatted briefly for a few more words before hanging up the phone. He returned to the house and saw Gu Xinyu still working hard, so he didn't disturb her. He himself was thinking about new styles for lanterns and paper cuttings.

The next morning, Chunlin arrived with several craftsmen. However, they were all elderly and had nothing to do on weekdays, so their skills were useless. When they heard that Lin Yu and Gu Xinyu were planning to open an online store using traditional craftsmanship, they all expressed their willingness to help.

"Uncle Lin, I have invited several skilled craftsmen from our village." Chunlin said as soon as he entered the door.

Lin Yu went up to them and shook hands with everyone one by one: "Thank you so much, Xinyu and I are relieved that you can come to help."

"Lao Lin, you seem to be being polite. We are so happy that you are finding us work. Our skills can finally be put to use, so we have no regrets." A craftsman said with a smile.

"Hahaha...Okay, okay, no need to be so formal. But we still have to pay the wages. Let's consider this as a joint effort. I'm thinking that if our online store and live streaming are very successful, why not make it an industry?"

"Okay, let's listen to you, Old Lin. This is all the use we old guys have anyway." Everyone nodded in response.

After the pleasantries, the group sat down to discuss. Gu Xinyu presented her design ideas and eventually decided to make a few samples to see how they turned out.

Finally, the lanterns were made of bamboo weaving, and some food boxes, bags and other items were also made to match them.

"I plan to design a pattern of the moon and the jade rabbit, after all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is inseparable from the moon."

"Good idea. The moon and the jade rabbit have good meanings." Chunlin also praised.

Everyone discussed and worked on the designs, and soon, several lantern and paper-cut samples were completed. Lin Yu and Gu Xinyu looked at these samples and were very satisfied.

They placed these samples on display shelves in the studio, and every angle was carefully designed to present the best effect in the video.

"These samples are so beautiful, even better than we expected." Gu Xinyu gently stroked an exquisite bamboo lantern. The jade rabbit on it was lifelike, as if it would jump out of the lampshade and run towards the full moon at any time.

Lin Yu nodded in agreement. He took out his phone, opened his social media account, and uploaded the video documenting the production process with the caption: "Ancient charm and modern style - enjoy the full moon night with you. New lanterns and paper-cuts, inheriting the thousand-year-old Mid-Autumn Festival spirit."

The video quickly attracted widespread attention on social media, with netizens praising the handicrafts and expressing great interest.

"These lanterns are so beautiful. Hanging them at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival will definitely create a great atmosphere."

"The paper-cut patterns are very creative. I want to learn how they are made. Can Aunt Gu teach us?"

"This kind of traditional craft is really rare. I hope it can be passed down."

Seeing these comments, Lin Yu and Gu Xinyu smiled at each other.

When the old people saw that there were still people interested in these things, they couldn't help but shed tears and worked even harder.

Seeing that the work was going smoothly, Lin Yu went to get some cloth. While there was definitely not enough time for large-scale embroidery, simple patterns were still acceptable. However, there had to be a few sets to hold up the occasion.

"Xinyu, what are you going to embroider?"

Hearing Lin Yu's cry, Gu Xinyu came over and saw the cloth, patted her head and said, "Oh, I forgot, I haven't done it yet."

"It's okay, it's okay. There are people in the village who can sew and tailor. I can help you embroider it. Take your time, there's no rush. I'll just have a finished product to show you when the time comes. Even if you want to take an order, you have to make an appointment."

Lin Yu's words made Gu Xinyu feel a lot more at ease. She knew that she was a novice in embroidery, but she had the old man in her heart and was confident.

"You're right. We don't have to rush to finish it all at once. Let's take it slowly and improve the quality first." Gu Xinyu said as he stroked the texture of a piece of cloth.

"That's right, we must first maintain our reputation, and then there will be plenty of opportunities later." Lin Yu nodded in agreement and continued, "I plan to embroider some simple cloud patterns and flowers on the fabric. These patterns are suitable for beginners and look elegant and decent."

"it is good."

The two of them were busy for a while, and Lin Yu's house was very lively that day. Later, several aunties who could operate sewing machines and sew came.

The whole process was busy until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sometimes Lin Yu directly broadcast the production process live, and sometimes he edited it into a video and posted it online. In short, this wave of operations was like an early advertisement to whet people's appetite.

Finally, the online store opened, and Lin Yu and his team started a new live broadcast. At the same time, village craftsmen also appeared in the live broadcast room to explain and demonstrate traditional skills to everyone.

As expected, the atmosphere in the livestream was warm and enthusiastic, and the enthusiastic feedback from the audience encouraged them. As the livestream progressed, the number of orders continued to climb.

The most exciting thing is that many young people have shown interest in traditional skills such as weaving and embroidery, and some even want to learn from them. This has deeply touched the elderly.

On the other side of the city, in Fengjiang Hotel, Lin Fengjiangping and his wife, tired after a day of work, dragged their exhausted bodies back home and happened to see their mother-in-law sitting on the sofa watching videos on her mobile phone, while their two children were playing with toys on a blanket.

"You're back. You two came back quite early today. If you haven't eaten yet, there's still some food in the pot. Help yourself." Lin Feng's mother-in-law, He Cui, didn't even raise her eyelids.

"Mom, Jiang Ping and I have already eaten. There are fewer customers today, so we came back early. Don't you think that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon?..." Lin Feng said halfway, frowning.

Jiang Ping changed her shoes silently and went to see the two children. He Cui then raised her head and said, "Are you going back for Mid-Autumn Festival? You should go back. I watched the live broadcast today. Your parents opened an online store and made a lot of money. They should at least give you some. If not you, they can give it to the two children. You and Pingping are still thinking about opening a branch store. Your father should also provide some financial support."

Lin Feng stood by the window, smoking a cigarette and said, "My dad said that while he's alive, he won't give any of his money to any of us. But if Lin Kang gets married, he'll give it to us because it's fair and just for all of us."

"Tsk, you're his son, how could he really not give it to you? I'm the one taking care of you two kids, your parents didn't do anything."

Lin Feng frowned and said with some annoyance: "My dad gave me money, and I think I also gave money. Mom, you take care of the child and I have no free hands. It was Pingping who insisted that you take care of the child. I wanted to hire a nanny at the beginning. You are going too far."

Before He Cui could say anything, Jiang Ping was already unhappy: "Lin Feng, what do you mean? What's wrong with my mom? My mom is no more reliable than a nanny when it comes to looking after children! Your dad is the same. What's wrong with giving some money? Are you planning to take the money to your coffin? You were so disrespectful to me last time."

"Jiang Ping, how can you talk like that? I've always been on your side, which has already made the old man very angry. He can give his money to whoever he wants."

There was anger in Lin Feng's voice, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly. After all, He Cui was still here, and if the situation got out of hand, it would be disastrous for everyone.

"Oh, that's not what you said when the old man faked his death. Why didn't you just give it to whoever wanted it? And didn't you say that if your eldest brother fought for the house, you wouldn't care about your mother? Now you're pretending to be a filial son again."

"Jiang Ping." Lin Feng was really angry. If it weren't for her, would he really ignore his own mother? It was because he knew that Jiang Ping couldn't tolerate the existence of her mother-in-law. He really didn't understand how two people who didn't often interact could have such a big gap. After all, he had given his parents everything he should have, so what else did he want?

"You should speak with conscience. I'm being unfilial, but you shouldn't be confused as to why I don't care. If you don't want to speak directly, there are some things I don't want to say. It doesn't mean I don't know. The two children are only four years old, so don't push them too far."

Jiang Ping was obedient now. She actually knew what was going on.

The old couple Lin Yu and Gu Xinyu had no idea that his second son and his wife were having an unhappy quarrel. Just like Lin Yu said, if they were busy, they should just come back less often to make people angry. If they went too far, don't blame him for punishing them.
