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

Chapter 229 Embroidery Competition

"Mom, I, I was too impulsive just now, don't be angry." Zhao Lan raised her eyelids and glanced at Feng Zhuanxia, ​​stammering.

Feng Zhuanxia waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Sigh, I understand that you are upset, but how can you vent your anger on those chickens? The harvest has been poor in recent years. Do you know how expensive those chickens are?"

"Chicken? What happened to Chicken?"

"He's dead, it's all your fault."

"Me? I didn't do anything." Zhao Lan looked confused.

Feng Zhuanxia looked at her and shook her head, looking very disappointed.

Guan Lei was afraid that they would keep talking about this matter, which would harm her in the end, so she quickly said, "Mom, let the past be the past, don't think about it. People are different in their hearts, and there are many people in the village who are jealous of us. Maybe it was someone else who did it."

What Guan Lei said made sense. Indeed, because Zhao Yang was so concerned about his reputation and always bought high-end things, many families in the village seemed kind on the surface, but deep down they hated them for some reason.

Not to mention others, her sister-in-law probably wishes them bad luck every day.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhuanxia felt that she had gone a little too far. How could she doubt her own daughter?

She said in a gentle tone: "Forget it, I already know who it is. That bitch has done evil things and she will get her comeuppance."

Guan Lei's heart skipped a beat and she cursed inwardly: This old bitch has such a poisonous tongue!

"Xiao Lan, I was not right about what happened today. Don't take it to heart. You want to go out and relax. I agree. Wait until your brother confirms it for you and then go."

Feng Zhuanxia paused, then continued, "Your brother gave me 50 yuan a few days ago. I'll get it for you. Go and see if there's anything you need to buy."

As she spoke, Feng Zhuanxia opened the drawer under the kang cabinet, took out 50 yuan and handed it to Zhao Lan.

Guan Lei felt very unhappy. Last time she asked Zhao Yang for money to buy facial oil and shampoo, he scolded her and gave money to his mother. He seemed to be very rich.

If she had known this would happen, she should not have been soft-hearted and given him her money.

She was angry but couldn't show it, so she made an excuse to go to the toilet and went out.

Gujiatai.

sunny.

The embroidery factory is bustling with activity.

Guan Youshuang contacted the village committee last night and asked them to help promote the embroidery competition.

In this era, most women know how to embroider to some extent, and many people like to use embroidery to embellish items, such as shoe uppers, handkerchiefs, pillowcases, and even larger quilt covers.

However, most people's embroidery is not professional.

Guan Youshuang has always positioned the embroidery factory as professional and innovative, and she hopes to select the right candidates from the very beginning.

As I said before, her original intention was to select people from Gujiatai and the neighboring village as the first batch of people.

Therefore, it would be most appropriate for the village committee to handle this matter.

Seeing that the Gu family was developing better and better, although the village chief was not convinced, as the only factory within a ten-mile radius, the village committee still had face, so they also tried their best to help promote it.

In short, today, almost all the women in the village came to the embroidery factory, except Gu Errong's sister-in-law Huang Chunyan.

Huang Chunyan was not unaware of this. After the village chief came last night, Peng Xiaoling came again.

She was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

You see, God is so unfair. They are both women, but why do others live so well while she has to work in a factory in another place and please other people for a living?

Peng Xiaoling said that as her sister-in-law, Guan Youshuang would definitely give her a high salary, but she really couldn't swallow this.

Today, when Peng Xiaoling came to see her, she made the excuse of not feeling well and did not go out.

At the embroidery factory.

Guan Youshuang prepared tea and various snacks for everyone in the lounge early in the morning.

Everyone ate and talked, and some people even secretly put the snacks into their pockets.

The venue has been set.

Under the tent are rows of long tables and chairs, with needles and thread, embroidery cloth, embroidery threads of various colors and embroidery tools neatly placed on the tables.

At ten o'clock in the morning, most people had arrived and the embroidery competition officially began.

Guan Youshuang explained the rules of the competition. The competition was divided into two parts. The first part was the basic needlework competition, and the second part was the free innovation competition.

She further explained the meaning of each link in detail.

"For basic needlework, we will provide uniform patterns and materials, and everyone needs to complete the pattern within a specified time. Then I will score based on the standard of the needlework and the completion of the work."

"Mrs. Errong, may I ask, what is this pattern?" an aunt asked.

Guan Youshuang smiled and took out a folded square piece of white paper. When she opened it, she saw a beautiful pink peach blossom painted on it. In addition to leaves, there were also several flower buds on the branches.

lifelike.

She clipped the one-meter-long paper to the rope in front of the tent and said, "For this pattern, you can look at the embroidery cloth in front of you. In fact, the pattern has been printed on it, but the lines may not be too obvious. You can choose the color of the embroidery thread according to this large picture."

"It's pretty simple."

"Oh, this peach blossom is beautiful. I will embroider this next time I make shoes for my daughter."

"Okay, if you don't have any other questions, you can start embroidering. The time is 40 minutes."

"Mrs. Errong, the peach blossom petals you painted seem to have more than one color. Do we need to embroider them exactly the same?" the aunt just now asked again.

"In the first stage, this is not a requirement. Of course, it would be better if a gradient effect could be embroidered."

The needlework for flowers and leaves is very simple and is often used by women. They confidently picked up the embroidery cloth at hand, put it on the embroidery frame, and began to embroider.

Guan Youshuang prepared a small embroidery frame of ten centimeters for them. The pattern inside was also relatively small. In fact, for someone skilled in embroidery, it would probably take only 20 minutes to complete.

The reason why she gave 40 minutes was that the fabric she prepared was special fabric for embroidery, which was different from the old coarse fabric that everyone usually used, and she was worried that everyone might not be used to it.

In addition, she hopes that everyone will have enough time to use basic needlework to make the work more delicate.

Although the pattern is not complicated, it tests everyone's basic skills and the accuracy of needlework.

No matter how the needlework changes, it is all based on the basic needlework. It can be said that the basic needlework is the key to the success of embroidery.

In a joyful atmosphere, everyone started to embroider with full concentration.

Time passed by little by little, and everyone was working hard and attentively, striving to complete their work within the limited time.

In fact, within twenty minutes, three or four women had completed their works. Guan Youshuang also walked over to take a look and found that they had all done a pretty good job.

Forty minutes passed quickly.

Guan Youshuang stood up and checked everyone's embroidery works one by one.
