After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 136 Can I take the back door?

The old woman smiled and said, "I have never learned it, but I have always liked it. I would paint for fun during the slack season. My son bought me some crayons and paints before he went to the coal mine, but I was always busy at that time and had no time to paint. It's a pity that now I have time to paint, but I can't paint for my son to see."

Guan Youshuang never denied the existence of talent.

She herself had studied painting and knew that it was a skill that required great talent.

Similarly, someone who is so talented in painting naturally has his own ideas and personality.

She naively thought 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 had gone too far.

"You also said last time that you wanted to embroider on the carpet. The textures of the paintings I drew are relatively rough. You can refer to them."

"Thank you auntie."

The old woman shook her head and said, "That's nothing. If you need any help in the future, just ask."

"it is good."

Coming out of the old woman's house, Guan Youshuang was filled with emotion.

It can be seen that Gu Errong was also surprised. He never expected that the old woman was so good at painting.

Guan Youshuang said: "I forgot to tell you just now that the paintings on their wall were all embroidered by my aunt herself."

Gu Errong was even more surprised: "Really? She can also embroider?"

"Her needlework is very fine and even, just like in a painting. Anyway, it's very impressive."

Gu Errong nodded and said, "In fact, there are many talented people around us, but they just don't have the opportunity or platform to show their talents."

Gu Errong talked about his distant aunt, who was also his grandfather's distant cousin. He said that the aunt was very good at paper cutting. She could cut out anything she saw immediately, especially flowers, birds, fish and insects, which were lifelike.

Every year before the Chinese New Year, the number of people who line up to ask her to cut window paper-cuts for them would stretch from one end of the village to the other, and even people from other villages would come to her house to ask for her to cut window paper-cuts for them.

Such a talented craftsman, let alone any chance to make a name for himself, never left the village in his entire life.

Gu Errong smiled sarcastically and said, "At that time, the county held a lecture on craft inheritance and invited foreign craftsmen. They all had a lot of theories, but when they were asked to show their talents, the things they made were horrible."

Guan Youshuang nodded. Of course she believed it.

I understand naturally.

The reason why she wanted to open an embroidery factory was not just to make money for everyone, but also to allow these women with special skills to see their own advantages and talents.

In fact, with such a platform, their works can be seen by more people, and thus they will have more development opportunities.

Of course, this is something.

As they walked and talked, they came to a corner of the market, where an old man was sitting in front of a simple straw hat machine making straw hats.

Guan Youshuang remembered reading a news story in her previous life about a woman who went hiking wearing a sun hat with only a brim and ended up dying of heatstroke.

She remembered a comment saying that it was this kind of hat that ruined the woman, and that only the straw hats worn in the countryside were really cool.

She wanted to try it.

The man in the straw hat was wearing a faded blue shirt and an old, somewhat deformed straw hat. His face was tanned and shiny by the sun.

His hands were busy working skillfully on the straw hat machine, and white straw braids were gradually woven into shape through his hands.

That straw hat machine looks a bit like an old-fashioned sewing machine.

The uncle stepped on the pedal to make the machine turn, and the straw hat machine made a "ticking" sound. The uncle's fingers flexibly moved the straw braids to shape them.

On a small table nearby are several finished straw hats. They have regular shapes, clearly visible weaving textures, and fine craftsmanship.

The uncle raised his head from time to time and glanced at the villagers passing by.

"Uncle, how much is this straw hat?" Guan Youshuang asked.

"One dollar. It's perfect for summer, it blocks out the sun and is breathable."

Perhaps fearing that Guan Youshuang would find it too expensive, the uncle added: "These are all hand-woven, different from those sold in stores, and they are made of good wheat straw, which is durable."

"Okay, I want four hats for adults and one for children. By the way, which one should a fifteen or sixteen-year-old wear?"

The uncle probably didn't expect Guan Youshuang to suddenly buy so many, so he quickly said, "Fifteen or sixteen, so I'm about the same age as my daughter, I'll make one right away."

Gu Errong asked: "Why did you buy so many? We have two at home."

"The ones at home are too old, let's change them all."

"Yuan Yuan doesn't need it, right?"

"Of course not. When he has summer vacation, I will take him to work and exercise."

Guan Youshuang continued, "Xiaoyun is the same, they both need to work."

"Well, I'll go home on Saturdays and weekends and work with you."

Which line of this?

You can come back anytime except Saturdays and weekends!

"Who told you to come back? Just work overtime on Saturdays and weekends to earn money, don't always think about running back home."

Gu Errong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Didn't you buy me a straw hat too?"

"Who said I bought it for you? I can't have two. I'll wear one and put the other away."

Gu Errong: ! !

"By the way, our house doesn't have anything 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 take a look."

The man in the straw hat raised his head and said, "Our dog just gave birth to a litter of puppies. They are all white. If you want one, I'll give you one."

Guan Youshuang hesitated and said, "I have never raised a dog and don't have much experience. Is it easy to raise a newborn puppy?"

"It's easy to raise. Just give it some leftover steamed buns and rice. I'll help you raise it for a few days and bring it back to you in half a month."

"Okay, thank you, uncle. How much do you want to sell the dog for? I'll give you the money."

"No, I was planning to give it to a neighbor. You can just take it and raise it."

"Okay, then I'll come to the market again on the weekend in two weeks."

"Row."

Although the uncle said he didn't want any money, Guan Youshuang still gave him ten more dollars when paying for the straw hat.

With a puppy, the yard will always be more lively.

This winter, she wants to build a garden in the yard and plant all kinds of beautiful flowers. In the spring of next year, the carpet factory will probably run more smoothly, so she plans to renovate a few more houses.

Gu Errong held the straw hat in one hand and held Guan Youshuang's hand in the other, saying, "By the way, I told you on the phone before that your application for driving lessons has been approved. When do you plan to go to learn? How about we go together this time?"

"Let's wait until the high school entrance exam is over. I remember you said that learning how to drive also requires learning maintenance?"

"Ah."

"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 a car, not to open a car repair shop. Do you think it's stupid for him to set up this subject?"

Gu Errong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What if you occasionally encounter a vehicle breakdown while driving? What do you do?"
