(Prequel Winter 1)

Li Lianhua lay on the bed like a salted fish, not wanting to move at all. She felt like she had been infected by someone. The view from the second floor was wide, and she could clearly see the branches of the leaves.

The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, it was very peaceful.

Counting the days, it’s almost the autumnal equinox.

Autumn is coming to an end and winter is coming.

I don’t know, maybe it’s because the weather is getting colder, but people are getting lazier and don’t want to move anymore.

……

Just when Li Lianhua was feeling troubled, a strange tinkling sound rang in his ears, attracting his attention. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and click his tongue.

Sometimes being sharp isn't such a good thing...

Just like at this moment

……

When Li Lianhua went downstairs, he saw Qin Changsheng squatting on the ground picking up the scattered needles and threads. Since there were only two of them in the small building, he did not hide his footsteps. Qin Changsheng was not surprised to see him coming downstairs, and he haphazardly grabbed the needles and threads that fell on the ground and put them into the sewing basket.

The square table was already filled with cloths of various colors, which seemed to be scraps from the cloth shop. Li Lianhua walked over, took a piece and rubbed it with her hands. It seemed to be coarse cotton cloth.

It was a lower grade than the material he was wearing.

There were a few pieces of paper on the table. She was embroidering stitch by stitch according to the pattern on the paper, but her skills seemed very poor. The distance between the previous stitch and the next stitch was very different.

She could barely embroider a few stitches steadily. Every time she did this, Qin Changsheng would grab a pair of scissors and cut the thread, and start embroidering again.

Li Lianhua was a little surprised. "What's going on? Are you suddenly interested in learning needlework?"

Qin Changsheng answered him while sewing seriously: "I guess so. I plan to decorate the room."

Li Lianhua kindly suggested: "Why don't you go to town and find an embroiderer? It won't cost much, and it won't require you to do the work yourself."

Qin Changsheng put down the embroidery cloth in his hand, looked up at him, and spread his hands in front of him.

Li Lianhua immediately understood what she meant - no money.

But he didn't have the slightest intention of offering support.

He twisted a thread around his fingertips, winding it back onto the stick bit by bit, and asked, "How come it's all gone so quickly?"

"You ask me, how would I know? I just ordered a few clothes, earrings, bracelets, gold hairpins, and jade hairpins. Do you know the new hairpins from Yubao Pavilion? They're called 'Flowing Brilliance', dazzling, glittering, and super shiny. But it's too expensive, it costs an ingot of gold."

Qin Changsheng's attention was immediately diverted. He counted on his fingers and recalled the past bit by bit. He seemed to have thought of something and immediately shared it with excitement on his face.

Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua's dark eyes casually lifted up, and she tilted her head slightly, revealing an incredible expression. She covered her mouth in shock and said, "A gold ingot?!"

Qin Changsheng nodded seriously, "That's right, so I bought other things from Yubao Pavilion. They have a discount of 100 taels for three items, and 25 taels for one item."

Li Lianhua: "..."

What a great offer.

He curled his lips slightly, "You spent all your money so quickly, do you have any money left for food?"

"I'll put it on your account first and pay you back next time."

She said it as a matter of course, but Li Lianhua choked.

But there's really nothing we can do about her...

Li Lianhua casually picked up a book from the bookshelf next to her, and while helping her wind the scattered thread back onto the coil, she read the book to pass the time.

The women do the embroidery, and the men accompany them and help them.

It is quiet in its spare time, like an ordinary couple's home.
