Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 274: Pamper Him When He Deserves It

Yi Chichi and Wen Shi’s appearance brought a huge surprise to Ning Jiandong.

He warmly invited the two to sit down, and then served tea and snacks, not even bothering with small talk, eagerly rubbing his hands and going straight to the point.

"Is the Double Cat Embroidery finished?!"

"Finished!"

If it wasn’t finished, she wouldn’t dare come to see Ning Jiandong.

Being pressured to deliver is not easy, especially when the debt isn’t monetary but an embroidery, and before the piece is completed and handed over, there’s always pressure.

"Quick, let me see it!"

Yi Chichi opened her luggage that she carried with her and took out three embroideries from inside.

"Look at the double-sided embroidery first."

Ning Jiandong quickly called out, making Yi Chichi, who originally was planning to take out the Liu Lan Fish Playing Lotus, pause and then naturally shifted to the Double Cat picture.

The moment the embroidery unfolded, both Wen Shi and Ning Jiandong gasped, wow, how could these cats be embroidered so realistically.

The black and white panda cub sat leaning against a mountain rock, grabbing a piece of green bamboo; its sharp teeth couldn’t hide its adorable charm.

A cluster of green bamboo emerged from behind it, with green bamboo leaves seemingly swaying in the wind.

It made people feel as if they could smell the fresh scent from the bamboo grove.

But that’s not the point; the point is the panda cub’s eyes seem alive, and the natural flow of its fur is masterful.

Watching makes one’s hands itch to pet it, just to feel if its fur is really that soft, so pettable.

Both of them stared at the panda cub without blinking, admiring it, and Yi Chichi reminded them, "Try seeing it from another angle."

Wen Shi and Ning Jiandong exchanged a glance, moved in unison to try seeing it from a different position.

And then——

"The panda’s expression changed."

Wen Shi exclaimed as if discovering a new world.

Ning Jiandong noticed too, but his discovery was different from Wen Shi’s; from his angle, he saw that the panda’s mouth was raised as if it was smiling.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise, glanced at Yi Chichi, and then excitedly said, "Quick, let me see the other side."

Yi Chichi flipped the double-sided embroidery to the other side, revealing a vivid, fluffy big-tailed, entirely reddish-brown round-faced red panda.

A completely different form, different color, yet still equally cute, full of spirit, and fur realism made one want to hug it and give it a big petting.

"This is also nice."

Seeing the red panda standing upright on its hind legs, raising its front paws in a surrender posture as if smiling, the love in Wen Shi’s eyes seemed overflowing.

This one he liked, like a cat grown in the center of his heart.

Sparkling eyes, round little nose, pink little tongue...

My gosh, this red panda is truly good-looking!

He stared at the red panda, transformed into a mindless fan, lavishly praising Yi Chichi’s craftsmanship, then suddenly said, "Honey, let’s buy a red panda and keep it!"

"Pfft..."

Feeling a bit thirsty, Ning Jiandong picked up his cup for tea but couldn’t swallow it in time. Hearing this, he couldn’t control himself and sprayed tea everywhere, even choking himself in a fierce cough.

Yi Chichi wasn’t much better; her hand trembled, almost dropping the Double Cat Embroidery.

Wen Shi, ... what did he say to cause this reaction?

He recalled his own words and realized the issue, yet stubbornly asked again, "Can’t keep a red panda?"

Before Yi Chichi could respond, Ning Jiandong, whose coughing had subsided, thought of foreign guests wanting to buy a giant panda last year and couldn’t hold back the sarcasm, "Why not be like those foreigners and want a giant panda instead?"

"A giant panda is too big, even if it only eats bamboo, it’s unmanageable. The red panda is different; it’s small, with my wife’s earnings and my income, there’s no pressure for keeping one!"

Sound reasoning that made sense but ignored many issues; a different pet like a cat or dog would definitely fulfill his wish from Yi Chichi.

Her own man needs to be pampered when the time is right.

Especially when that man not only has a face pleasing to her eyes but a body in golden proportions, not chauvinistic, except for having a straightforward personality without other flaws; pampering him is definitely not excessive.

However, he wants to keep a red panda.

So Yi Chichi could only reluctantly break his fantasy, "Old Wen, forget both the giant panda and red panda."

Afraid he’d ask why, Yi Chichi explained, "Red pandas are timid, easily frightened and might die if not careful."

"Additionally, red pandas are considered beasts, highly aggressive, regular pets like cats and dogs stand no chance against them."

For non-professionals, the danger of keeping a red panda is high; their cuteness matches their aggression proportionally.

Wen Shi looked crestfallen, "Well, maybe I’ll settle for a cat or dog when the chance arises."

"That’s doable." Yi Chichi eagerly promised, "I’ll definitely get you one in the future."

Not just one, she could provide more.

"Honey, you’re the best."

He was elated, cheerfully expressing his thanks.

Ning Jiandong felt a toothache, covering his cheek, realizing he should be outside, not here.

Watching the two smiling at each other, he cleared his throat, "Let’s talk business."

Stop with the flirting.

The couple simultaneously turned to him, speaking in unison, "Uncle, is this okay?"

"Be confident and drop the question mark, it’s not just okay, it’s excellent."

Ning Jiandong was not just satisfied but extremely satisfied with Yi Chichi’s Double Cat Embroidery.

However——

"Why do I feel your Double Cat Embroidery is a bit different from traditional double-sided embroidery?"

Yi Chichi just smiled, "It should be different because this is not traditional double-sided embroidery, but Double-sided Three-different Embroidery."

"Three-different Embroidery?"

He leaned closer and seriously observed it for a while, then suddenly realized, "I get it, different design, different needlework, and different color."

"Impressive, Uncle, you can tell."

Looking surprisingly impressed.

Ning Jiandong rolled his eyes, "I’m not a clueless brute, at least I’ve seen a lot of double-sided embroidery, not seeing would be like being blind."

Wen Shi felt hurt, like being poked, reflecting on how he couldn’t tell.

But he couldn’t be blamed.

Because, before meeting his wife, he had never seen double-sided embroidery.

He truly couldn’t differentiate the needlework differences.

"Uncle, is this more valuable than ordinary double-sided embroidery?"

Wen Shi’s words made Ning Jiandong immediately wary, looking at him, "Don’t tell me you want to raise the price now?"

"That won’t happen." Wen Shi quickly denied, the price was agreed upon from the start; raising it temporarily is unethical.

But next time, it might be raised.

After all, his wife’s craftsmanship speaks volumes.

"I was just asking out of curiosity."

Ning Jiandong snorted; he would believe it when pigs fly.

This Double Cat is definitely impossible to increase now; the next piece...

Also impossible to increase.

But on other aspects, negotiations can be made.

But that’s a discussion for later, not in a hurry at this moment.

Anyway, with Yi Chichi’s craftsmanship, they will have lots of future collaborations.

"Pack this up, let me see the other two pieces."
