Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 285: Dreams Are Still Worth Having

Wen Shi looked hesitant, and Yi Chichi could see his expression, her heart suddenly felt cold.

"What’s wrong? You’re making me nervous."

"Auntie Guan’s daughter, her temperament is a bit difficult."

As he spoke, he gave a detailed report on Jiang Xingxing’s personality, and after listening, Yi Chichi realized, an adolescent girl.

Still in the most severe stage of adolescence.

"Does she fight with her family?"

"She fights fiercely."

Remembering Jiang Xingxing’s ’heroic achievements,’ Wen Shi couldn’t resist the urge to complain, "Two days before you came, she just made the head of the staff run laps in the family courtyard."

Yi Chichi, "..."

Darn it, she really felt she took on a troublesome issue, as Wen Shi said.

To make the head of the staff run laps, one could imagine the girl’s influence.

Is there any chance of saving her?

"Why did they fight?"

"Apparently she found herself a partner, and the head of the staff and Auntie Guan don’t agree."

Not only adolescent, but also head over heels in love.

Yi Chichi hesitated, "If I refuse, would it affect you?!"

"No."

Wen Shi knew what she was worried about and quickly reassured her, "Even if I don’t say anything today, when Auntie Guan brings Jiang Xingxing over, she’ll also tell you about her personality."

Patting her head, he laughed and said, "Your own comfort is the most important. I don’t need, nor want, you to suffer any grievance for me."

It’s quite unlikely.

"Let’s take a look first."

If it doesn’t work out, rejection is also possible later.

Who hasn’t been through the adolescent phase, maybe she can turn it around.

So, when Auntie Guan brought Jiang Xingxing over the next day, Yi Chichi was fully prepared to deal with it.

"Chichi, this is my troublesome daughter, Jiang Xingxing."

Jiang Xingxing raised her chin and looked at people with disdain, showing a rude demeanor. After introducing her to Yi Chichi, Auntie Guan felt embarrassed, her face burning with anger.

Anger rose from her chest, "Greet people!"

She grabbed Jiang Xingxing’s ear and scolded, "How did I end up having such a bothersome..."

"Auntie!"

Yi Chichi’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly interrupted, knowing that some things can be said when educating children, and some can’t.

"Can I talk to Xingxing?"

Auntie Guan showed hesitation, her daughter was really difficult, letting them be alone, what if her bothersome daughter offended her?

Filled with worry, she didn’t notice that Jiang Xingxing’s gaze at Yi Chichi changed from disdain to curiosity.

Seeing her mother silent, she took the initiative and said, "Mom, I want to talk with Ms. Yi."

Quite a sweet talker.

Not as difficult as Wen Shi described.

Yi Chichi smiled at Auntie Guan, "Auntie, go ahead, Xingxing won’t be a problem here."

Auntie Guan hesitated for two seconds, nodding, "Alright."

Then she turned and instructed Jiang Xingxing, "Daughter, I’m begging you, be good and don’t be prickly. Your Ms. Yi knows how to give injections, if you provoke her and get poked, your dad and I won’t help you."

"...I got it."

Jiang Xingxing was speechless, not believing she was disliked enough to deserve being poked.

Of course, if it really came to that, she wouldn’t go home to complain like a child.

She has dignity!

Truly couldn’t throw away her pride like that.

With her assurance, Auntie Guan reluctantly left, giving space to the two of them.

With Auntie Guan gone, Jiang Xingxing immediately seemed like a bird out of a cage, full of joy.

"Can I see your embroidery?"

"Sure."

Yi Chichi led her to the embroidery frame, where the silk was tightly stretched, and two fluffy tiger ears vividly portrayed. She bent down and watched intently for a while, exclaiming, "It’s really good embroidery."

Her eyes constantly on Yi Chichi’s face, observing her expression, Yi Chichi heard this and smiled, "Want to learn?"

"I can’t sit still."

She refused her offer, pulled a chair and sat down, said gloomily, "Sis, I’m interested in mechanics."

"??? Mechanics?"

Yi Chichi made a puzzled face, this span of interest is quite wide.

Where’s the adolescent girl and love-struck mind?

Jiang Xingxing nodded, "Yes, I want to do mechanics, build cars, build ships, build planes, build..."

Her ideas became more outrageous, almost dreaming of building a spaceship to explore space.

However, Yi Chichi didn’t interrupt her, letting her freely imagine her future.

Although a bit ambitious and unrealistic, still, as they say, dreams are worth having.

A girl with dreams, when talking about them with bright eyes, what she needs is not preaching, but support.

Maybe give her a support point, and she might fly high.

So, she patiently listened, and when Jiang Xingxing finished, she asked, "What is your education level?"

Wanting to pursue mechanics isn’t wrong, provided the knowledge backs up this dream.

Still wanting to continue dreaming, Jiang Xingxing was silenced by this question.

She opened her mouth, then lowered her head under Yi Chichi’s knowing gaze, softly said, "Didn’t graduate high school."

Yi Chichi, "... Study hard, your dream of pursuing mechanics can’t just be talk, it requires practical action."

"I’ve taken apart a radio, taken apart my dad’s watch, and bicycle parts... all assembled back without any issues, I feel mechanics aren’t difficult, rather easy."

Jiang Xingxing’s spirit rose again, describing her current state as vibrant and lively.

Yi Chichi nodded, praised, "You’re quite capable and handy."

However, disassembling and assembling doesn’t equate to walking this path.

Research, development, and repair are completely different paths.

"How much do you know about related mechanical knowledge points?"

"..."

"What knowledge points are needed to build a car, what materials are needed, do you understand the operating principle of engines?"

"???"

"If building a ship, how much do you know about tonnage, draft depth, pressure devices, drainage systems?"

"!!!"

Jiang Xingxing started to get frustrated, "Why should I understand these?"

"If you don’t understand these, how can you research, how can you build?"

Yi Chichi calmly said, "Or are you just talking, not really wanting to do anything, just living day by day?"

This question struck her heart, she bit her lip, stared at Yi Chichi for a while, then quietly said, "Sis, can I tell you my true thoughts?"

"If you’re willing to speak, I can be your best listener."

That means yes.

She ruffled her hair, "My dad won’t let me pursue this path, he says it’s too hard, he also says I don’t have the brains for it."

Saying this, she angrily continued, "But he doesn’t even let me try, why does he deny me?"
