Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 84: Can’t Even Sleep Peacefully

"I won’t learn."

Ge Sujuan decisively refused, "Learning to make clothes from you could drive anyone to death."

The demands are too high.

She’s used to moving fast, and the thought of suddenly having to change her habits for meticulous work makes her scalp tingle, making her want to explode.

"I can’t do this kind of fine work."

"I’ll learn!"

Liu Lan was interested, but Yi Chichi refused her, "You focus on your embroidery, if you learn well and go to the Friendship Store, you won’t have to worry about not making money."

Wu Yongfei started to make his presence known again.

"I remember the Friendship Store has a special clientele, not just anyone can enter."

"That’s right."

Yi Chichi nodded, the Friendship Store is indeed like that.

"But the Friendship Store also sells goods, like silk and lacquer carvings, embroidery works which come first from folk masters, and second from fixed collaborating masters."

In the original world, her grandmother’s embroideries were sold this way, as long as the technique is refined, you don’t fear it won’t sell.

The doors of the Friendship Store can still be knocked open.

In 2002, a double-sided embroidery piece of butterfly and flower by her old mother sold at a high price of three hundred thousand.

And her own work, the "Galaxy Shimmer," which took three years to embroider, sold for tens of millions.

As long as one learns embroidery well, money isn’t an issue.

Even in times when foreign goods are adored, not everyone chases after them, and there are countless people willing to pay a price who greatly appreciate and love traditional skills from our country.

Yi Chichi was not planning to change careers; as the saying goes, better to work where you’re already skilled, she had already planned her future path here.

Therefore, she advised Liu Lan, "You learn well, and once you’ve mastered Chaotic Needle Embroidery, I can teach you Su Embroidery or Hang Embroidery, if you aren’t interested in Su Embroidery and want to specialize in Chaotic Needle Embroidery, that’s okay too."

"Okay!"

Liu Lan was full of enthusiasm, "I will surely learn well."

Not for anything else, but to make money.

Once she learns well, she’ll try her luck at the Friendship Store. Whether through collaboration or any other means, as long she can sell, it won’t be a waste of effort.

Liu Lan didn’t have significant ambitions for the future; being able to sustain herself through her interests and hobbies was enough.

As for whether to specialize in Chaotic Needle Embroidery or to learn Su Embroidery as well, she hadn’t decided yet, since she hasn’t mastered Chaotic Needle Embroidery, considering those was a bit premature.

Laughing and joking until two in the afternoon, suddenly—

"Crashed, crashed, thud..."

A man’s shouting accompanied by the sound of a crash was heard, startling Yi Chichi and those embroidering shoes and pasting matchboxes, and they looked outside.

"The voice sounds familiar!"

"It seems like Mr. He’s voice."

"The Captain and Uncle brought the people back."

Upon hearing Mr. He, Yi Chichi suddenly reacted.

"So, did they really crash?"

Wu Yongfei’s eyes lit up, with a nosy look eager to watch the drama, "Shouldn’t we go out and take a look?"

"Let’s go!"

Sharing a look, the group set down their matchboxes, shoe soles, fabrics, and quickly put on their shoes to run outside.

Then, they saw people buried in the snow and a carriage that had turned into a ditch.

Old Ma was also on the ground, trying to stand up with the help of the team leader.

But the ground was too slippery, the timing wasn’t right, neither person nor horse could get up after some effort.

Bai Chen smiled, "Team leader uncle, need some help?"

"Quick, come help!"

These troublesome kids just watch the fun but don’t know to help, and still ask, luckily they’re not his own kids, otherwise, they’d get a good beating.

"Let’s go, go, go, help out!"

Bai Chen beckoned, leading Wu Yongfei to help the team leader.

As for Yi Chichi and the others, they ran into the snow to pull people out.

But after a few steps, He Yunsong and the others pulled themselves out of the snow like pulling up radishes.

Wen Shi, covered in snowflakes, wiped his face and gloomily looked at He Yunsong, raising his fist with a crackling sound, "Old He, you’re dead meat."

Before the words finished, he swung a fist towards He Yunsong’s face.

"Oh my!"

The force roared through the air, scaring He Yunsong into a pale-faced run, diving behind Yi Chichi in a flash.

"Old Wen, calm down. I didn’t mean it."

Yi Chichi chuckled, "You guys fight; I’m just a passerby, just ignore me."

As she spoke, she lifted her foot as if to walk off and expose He Yunsong.

But the hem tightened, and when she turned, oh man, someone shamelessly was holding on to the hem of her cotton jacket, moving with her.

Yi Chichi gave a half-smile, "Let go."

"If I let go, Old Wen will kill me."

That meant he wasn’t letting go.

Yi Chichi flicked her wrist, and a cold, glinting silver needle appeared at her fingertips, "I’ll count to one, two..."

Before she could say three, He Yunsong darted off like a rabbit.

"I’m going, don’t poke my head."

Seeing the needle in Yi Chichi’s hand, He Yunsong and Wen Shi both recalled the needle she stuck into Zhang Yin’s head.

This girl was a tough one; if she got really upset, who knows what would happen with her skills in acupuncture, hypnosis, and medicine.

Not to be messed with, not to be messed with.

Yi Chichi looked at Wen Shi, those eyes that looked at dogs with affection were unwaveringly fixed on the silver needle in her hand.

"Aren’t you going to chase?"

She put away the needle, slightly tilting her head and pointed at He Yunsong not too far away sneaking looks over, signaling him to go beat him up with her eyes.

The teasing in her eyes was extremely obvious.

Wen Shi, with a forehead full of sweat, similar in temperament to Old He, was quite enthusiastic about watching chaos unfold.

"I’ll hit him later."

With that, he turned and jumped into the ditch to help lift the carriage frame.

Seeing this, He Yunsong ran over to help, while Yi Chichi went to Wen’s mother, surrounded by Liu Lan and the others, observing her complexion, noticing it was much better.

Even her overall spirit looked revitalized.

It was clear the surgery went very well, and Wen Shi and the others took good care of her, and she ate well too.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have recovered to this extent.

"Xiao Yi, thank you!"

Wen’s mother beckoned to her, and after Yi Chichi came closer, grabbed her hand and warmly thanked her.

She just smiled, "No need to thank me, thank the doctor who operated on you."

She didn’t do much, just relieved the symptoms a bit and gave a suggestion.

If Wen’s family hadn’t followed it, she wouldn’t be in such good condition now.

"Doctors should be thanked, and so should you!"

Wen’s mother expressed her gratitude in a simple and generous way, with a pound of Big White Rabbit candies and a jar of malted milk.

Yi Chichi waved her hands in refusal, but it was useless. Wen’s mother didn’t accept the refusal, "You must take this, my discomfort lasted for years. Without your suggestion, it wouldn’t have improved, it’s like you saved my life."

Wen Shi also urged, "Yi Zhqing, accept it, or my mom won’t sleep well at night."

In the hospital, she constantly nagged about buying gifts to thank Yi Zhqing, causing Wen Shi’s head to buzz, and he promised repeatedly not to forget but it didn’t help.

If they refused, who knows how she would nag about it afterward.

He Yunsong and the others also urged, and Yi Chichi looked toward the team leader, who nodded after noticing her gaze, making a final decision, "Take it; it’s what you deserve."

With words said to this extent, Yi Chichi couldn’t continue to refuse.

She accepted with a smile, "Thank you!"
