“Right, it's not like we even have the ingredients to make tasty things anyway. Every day, if not porridge then a steamed bun, or a big pancake, or confused porridge, and no flavor whatsoever passes in my mouth (the literal idiom is something weird like birds falling from his mouth or something lol), and I still don't know when I can eat a piece of meat." Luo Fei licked his lips and recalled the delicious food he had eaten in the past. He only felt a lot of saliva in his mouth. Every day he had had a meal at school and couldn't even finish it. Thinking about it, it was really a waste.
“In fact, count us as being at a lucky time. This year, a disaster has occurred. I am afraid that there are many people who are starving to death. At least we are not too hungry at the moment.” As Xi Yanqing spoke, he suddenly threw the trousers to the side unhappily and didn't sew. He had sewed until his eyes were tired and still couldn’t sew them properly – he had thought he had sewed it together, but the result was that the front and back of the trouser leg were sewn together! Now his leg couldn't even go into the pants!
“Tsk tsk tsk, this is what the high-level student of the Agricultural University has learned? Did you even buy the books after you were accepted?” Luo Fei swung his legs. “Do you want this young master to help you out?”
“You know how to do needlework?”
“I have to be. My grandma is a famous folk artist. I am very skilled at embroidery. She always wanted to have my mother learn, my mom didn’t care for sewing, but I was very interested in various needlework when I was young. Previously I still wanted to learn design, as a result of my grandma's influence.” Luo Fei reached out, “Give me your pants.”
Xi Yanqing listened to Luo Fei's words and it didn't seem like he was just boasting. He gave him the pants. When Luo Fei saw it, he immediately dismantled the messy parts Xi Yanqing had sewed. After dismantling, he skillfully threaded the needle, knotted it, and began to sew seriously. His technique was very fast and very skilled. His long, white fingers held the needle, skillfully threading it through the fabric, and sewed the trousers in a short time, and unlike Xi Yanqing whose seams were messy, his seams were smoothly sewed and solid. Although it was still possible to see traces of the seams, it was not obvious at all.
“Wow, so powerful.” Xi Yanqing took the pants, quite surprised to say.
“Of course, didn't you think about whose grandson I am. I really wasn't just tooting my horn at you. When I was at school, our classmates always bought clothes and pants and would always come to trouble me to do some work on it… Ah! I can embroider!" Luo Fei was so excited it was like he had discovered a new continent, and stood up with a "ceng". He looked at Xi Yanqing with a little excitement and couldn’t help but pace around on the ground. “I can sew and sell purses! I forgot about this!”
“Who would you sell to in this poor place?” Xi Yanqing quietly asked.
“What did you say?”
“Nothing. Pretty good.” I'll just let you be happy for a little.
“I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go back and think about it, what to sell and so that we can buy a cow at the fastest speed!” As Luo Fei spoke, his person had already begun going out, and with excitement, his pace had become much lighter.
“Wait for me! It's too late, I will send you back!”
Xi Yanqing closed the door and quickly followed Luo Fei. Luo Fei did not resist.
It was also a coincidence that when Luo Fei just arrived home, his mother and sister in the house were also doing needlework there. To be precise, Luo Ru was while Li Yuehua pointed at it, instructing her. But Luo Ru only sewed a bit before getting annoyed.
“Aiya, mom, I can’t sew it properly! Can’t we just not sew anymore?!”
“Of course not!” Li Yuehua said steely, “Think, a girl is the one in charge of needlework in every family and yours is not even as good as your brother's, that has to be a joke! Practice more, more practice. Practicing more and you will be able to do it. The clothes you wear when you marry later will be like a beggar's. Aren't you embarrassed?”
“I don’t want to, but I just can't sew it well. What can I do about it? You must have passed this skill to him when you gave birth to my second brother. When it came to me, not one bit was left!” She quickly shut her mouth when she heard noise, saw Luo Fei, and quickly acted spoiled and said: “Second brother, you came back at just the right time, please help me .”
Notes: Luo Fei to the rescue!!! :DDDDD
