Beautiful wife and Naive Husband

chapter 11 Granny's craftsmanship

After that , Granny started teaching waiwai shoe uppers top...

The upper is divided into two parts:
  the upper part Not only the inner lining and outer lining of the upper must be cut, but the inner lining and outer lining of the upper must be glued together and dried. The upper does not need to be glued, just cut It's ready to use.

Of course, some people who are particular about it will embroider flowers and grass patterns on the upper.

waiwai cut the inner lining and the outer lining, glued the upper, and took it to the stove to dry with the sole.

After finishing this set, waiwai found that she didn't feel tired at all, and she was a little rushed at first, but after doing it she became extremely proficient.

because  she also learned  so many things from her mother in past...but her embroiderer was pretty good.

in her hometowns ...Embroidery is a skill that most ladies must master, and many large families even invite some embroiderers to teach their daughters' embroidery skills.

Although waiwai was a little princess  for her parents , but still her parents specifically asked her master to teach her some talents of the ladies.

But literacy and embroidery are essential. she is used to copy Buddhist scriptures when her master punishing her,

waiwai also used to make clothes and shoes for her father and mother. Later, as she grew up her craftsmanship gradually increased,

so that's why she is.. not feeling tired doing  this things....This is also a craft, isn't it?

Picking up the shoe upper on the table, waiwai eagerly began to thread her needle.
With just a few stitches, a small dragonfly appeared on the black vamp, looking lifelike, with its wings trembling slightly, as if alive

Granny  looked at what  waiwai was embroidering there, embroidering for a while, and seeing that she was looking at the shoe upper, she also leaned over.
At this look, she was surprised.

Granny : "Oh, waiwai you  are a such good  embroiderer."

Granny took a look at the vamp and exclaimed while stroking the stitches on it.

"The stitches are flat and the embroidery skills are amazing. The most rare thing is that you can embroider flowers without tracing the look. Looking at the little dragonfly, the embroidery is really vivid."

"I studied for a few years before." waiwai was also very happy in her heart,

"It's pretty good, much better  than Granny's craftsmanship."  Granny said as she took out a needle and thread basket from the her cabinet.

There are a lot of things in the basket, there are a few bundles of embroidery thread of various colors, thimble, scissors, etc.,

Granny zhu handed the purse to Lin Qingwan to see.

The purse has a green bottom and a clean surface. Most of it has been finished. Only the holes are punched and the drawstring is worn. It is a very simple drawstring purse. It’s just strange that there is no embroidery on it.
In waiwain’s impression, embroidery is needed on the purse...

waiwai looked at Granny suspiciously.

Grannny slowly explained to her,

"This is a purse made for the embroidery workshop. The simplest blank purse like this is made into four coins. The embroidery shop provides needlework and we only produce handmade."

embroidery work can make money? waiwai was very surprised.

Granny :  back then, your Grandpa  left early, and Yang Tie's mother also left and there were only Xiao Tie  and me...and few acres of thin fields in the house. Life was very difficult. It was this little craft to supplement that provide me money  to feed myself and him.... my brother  also give me money but still I want work for both of us... so I started  to work...
