Xiao Qiao Flowing Water

Chapter 11 Embroidery

In this way, the double robbing ended in the busyness of the people. On the day agreed in advance, representatives of five or six tenants transported the rice to Liu Shui's home in proportion. Just put the rice in that shed, everyone."

Everyone said yes and started to move the rice into the greenhouse.After eating, everyone moved the rice into the greenhouse. Because of the scorching sun in the afternoon, everyone was sweating profusely. Even Liu Shui, who was standing by the side, was sweating profusely. Let's drink a bowl of herbal tea."

Everyone said: "Thank you, master."

The running water led everyone into the room, "Please sit down, everyone."

Uncle Li took out the money from his pocket and said, "Master, this is money for renting cattle."

Liu Shui took it, and said: "Uncle Li, sit down, there is no need to be so anxious, I know everyone's life is not easy."

Uncle Li waved his hand and said happily: "Master has been lenient. The harvest ratio and the rent of cattle are much better than others. The tenants of other families are envious." Then he drank his saliva and said: "Master, it is the same as in previous years. , this time it is the turn of the old man Sun Tian and Sun to transport rice into the city."

Liu Shui cupped his hands when he heard the words, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li" and then said: "Let's drink tea."

Uncle Li said again, "Where's Miss Qiao?"

"Sister-in-law Shui'er next door called me just now."

"Little Qiao is a good girl, you have to hurry up."

Liu Shui blushed slightly, "I'm not in a hurry."

Seeing this, Uncle Li said: "Master, I'm not an old man, I'm talking too much, my boy is eighteen this year, and he has a big fat son, you have to hurry up."

Liu Shui was helpless, and only said: "Even if I want to, Xiao Qiao may not be, and getting married is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."

"Then you asked Miss Xiao Qiao and who is there at home?"

"Never."

"Then you can express your feelings."

"Never." Liu Shui said in his heart that they are all women, how could he have such thoughts.

"Then what do you think of Xiao Qiao?"

"No, I don't know." Liu Shui was asked what he thought about Xiao Qiao, like a sister, or something else, with his appearance, even if he was a sister, Xiao Qiao might not be his sister.

Uncle Li had no choice but to see that the sun had already set to the west outside, and it was too late, so he stood up, "Master, it's getting late, we'll go back first."

The running water was delivered to the door, "Thank you for today."

Liu Shui moved a few bags of rice from the shed and put them in the cellar, and kept them for his own food. Looking at the weather, it was estimated that there would be heavy rain tomorrow, and the rest had to be transported into the city on a sunny day and sold to rice merchants.The running water also found wooden boards to erect on the outside to cover it, so as to prevent the food from getting wet.

It was said that after lunch, Xiao Qiao wanted to clean up the dishes, but the running water stopped her, "Don't move, I'll do it."

Xiao Qiao frowned, and tidied up again, "I'll do this."

The running water is not stopping it.

"Little Qiao" Shui'er shouted in the courtyard.

With the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, Xiao Qiao turned around and said, "Sister Shui'er, what's the matter?"

"Sister-in-law, come in and sit." Liu Shui took the bowls and chopsticks from Xiao Qiao's hand, "You talk to sister-in-law, and I'll clean it up."

Shui'er came in and said, "Wenxiu's big wedding will be in a while. It's a custom in our village that every family in the village will help embroider wedding clothes." Then he pulled Xiao Qiao, "Your sister Lin'er and the others are all at my house, embroidering together. You come too, and help us think of new tricks."

Xiao Qiao nodded and said to Liu Shui who was cleaning the table, "I'm going to Sister Shui'er's house."

Shui'er immediately jokingly said, "I'm sure you won't be willing to lend it to your little Qiao."

Liu Shui's cheeks flushed, and he stammered, "You, you go, I, I, I'll go to work first." Then he turned around and went out, and got into the kitchen.

Xiao Qiao was shy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Seeing Liu Shui's words and deeds, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Seeing this, Shui'er laughed, pulled Xiao Qiao out, and shouted, "Liu Shui, I'll take Xiao Qiao away."

The young daughters-in-law and young girls in the village all discussed embroidery at Daniu's house.

"In previous years, pomegranates were embroidered on them, implying many children."

"Yes, there is also a big rooster that is secluded and evil, which means good luck for the new couple."

"There are also magpies, happy events are coming."

"Mandarin ducks, love each other."

…………

"Has Xiao Qiao ever learned from female celebrities?" Dahai's daughter-in-law Lin'er asked, fearing that people in Xiaoqiao's world would not understand female celebrities.

"I have learned it from my mother since I was a child."

"Last time I watched Xiao Qiao know how to write poems and books. Then Xiao Qiao can draw some new tricks. This is the case every year. This time, I will change some new tricks." Shui'er said.

Everyone is like this.

Xiao Qiao nodded when she heard the words, "Then I'll go back and draw."

Shui'er hurriedly said: "You don't need to go back, my Doudou has a pen and paper, I'll get it." Then he went to find a pen and paper, "Xiao Qiao here."

Xiao Qiao gritted, "That's a show of shame." Then she thought about it for a while and picked up her pen.

Shi Qing, "In ancient times, there was a pair of amphibious and double-flying ribbon birds between plum blossoms and bamboo branches. They use 'double' to house 'qi', 'plum' to harmonize 'eyebrows', and 'bamboo' to harmonize 'wish' , with 'shou' and 'shou', implying the love of the couple and staying together until the end of life." Xiao Qiao said.

Everyone saw that the straight road was beautiful, and Shui'er said: "Little Qiao, let's draw more."

Xiao Qiao nodded, thought about it, and continued to write, everyone watched with gusto.

An hour later, Xiao Qiao said, "That's all I can think of right now."

Everyone said it was wonderful, and they all said that he was a man of ingenuity and ingenuity.Shui'er said: "Wonderful, really wonderful, Xiao Qiao explain quickly."

Hearing this, Xiao Qiao pointed out: "In this picture, a quail is perched next to the chrysanthemum on a mountain rock, and there are some fallen leaves on the ground. The homonym of 'quail' is 'an', the homonym of 'chrysanthemum' is 'ju', and the homonym of 'fallen leaves' is 'leye'." , which means "live and work in peace and contentment."

"I just said that pomegranates imply many children. This auspicious pattern of "three blessings of longevity" combined with bergamot, peaches and pomegranates also contains the ode of "three blessings". Longevity, with "pomegranate" for many children and grandchildren"

"Just now I talked about mandarin ducks and magpies. This one is Acacia mandarin ducks, implying that a husband and wife will love each other until death. In this picture, a magpie is on a branch, and I am happy to welcome the event."

"It is also said that the big rooster avoids evil and good luck, so I drew this picture of great auspiciousness on the stone. The rooster stands on the big stone with its head held high. The homonym of 'stone' is 'shi', which means that the house welcomes auspiciousness."

"The last one can be called Liansheng Guizi, composed of lotus and sweet-scented osmanthus. 'Lotus' has a double meaning, lotus and lotus pod grow together, lotus pod has many seeds, 'seed' and 'zi' have a homonym and pun. 'Gui' and 'gui' Homophonic pun. This picture implies a good marriage and endless children and grandchildren."

Lin Er said happily: "Little Qiao is really a beautiful person with a heart and a heart. Blessed is the flowing water." Everyone agreed.

Xiao Qiao didn't try to defend herself when she heard the words, "Sister Lin'er is too much for the award."

Shui'er said: "Then sisters, let's do it, and now everyone will share some."

Everyone planned which patterns to use, each picked up the needles and threads prepared by Wenxiu's family and got to work.

In the past few days, Xiao Qiao will go to the big Niu's house next door to embroider, finish her share ahead of time, and help to sew clothes.Everyone in the village knows that there are really wonderful people.Now everyone has to be reminded or joking when they encounter running water.
