Flowers are embroidered on the insoles, colorful, with plum blossoms, branches, and magpies.

This is called "happy on the eyebrows (plum) tips".

Jiang Xiaoxuan took this pair of flowery insoles in a stunning manner, and was really shocked: Is it an artwork that embroidered so many flowers? Do you think this is an insole?

This is on the feet? Who can bear to bear this?

She asked in surprise and admiration: "Is this what you embroidered?"

She knew she was asking nonsense - she just took it out of her needle and thread pocket, and there were colorful threads inside.

The main reason is that she was too shocked. Li Yunlian is no longer young. Zhou Ying is 38 years old this year and she is 59 years old. Her eyes are actually not that good. It takes a lot of eyes to embroider such insoles.

This made her feel very unbearable, but the insoles were too beautiful, which made her very amazed.

For a moment, she really didn't know what to say.

Although the shoes she bought were very suitable after buying them, there was no need to put in the insoles - it would not fit even if she had to put them in the foot.

However, even so, Jiang Xiaoxuan was still very moved because she was beautiful, not to mention it. This was embroidered by Zhou Heng's mother one by one.

These days, gifts are all bought with money, which are simple and fast. It is too difficult to calculate the value of them by hand.

Seeing her appearance, Li Yunlian smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't think too much, just don't know if it fits your feet. I will compare the size of the insole in your shoes."

Sometimes when Jiang Xiaoxuan is wearing shoes, she pays attention.

This really made Jiang Xiaoxuan grateful. She had never received such a meaningful gift. No matter how expensive the gift was, it could not be compared with this one, which made her very moved for a while.

She took the insole and said sincerely: "Auntie, thank you. This one is beautiful, but don't embroider it next time, this one hurts the eyes, really."

Li Yunlian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a heart. I'm not in a hurry to embroider. If you have time, embroider it, don't take it to heart."

Every time Jiang Xiaoxuan comes back from outside, she will give her family some gifts, such as returning from the provincial capital, returning from the capital, etc., including this time when she returns for the Chinese New Year, every time is no exception.

Moreover, the gifts she bought were all very good, which touched Li Yunlian, but she didn't know what she liked, so she embroidered a pair of insoles for her.

For her, this was really a job she was used to doing. In the years when she married, the tradition of a new wife embroidering insoles and making shoes for her husband's family was still retained. It was also the time when the new wife compared her skills.

However, the times have changed, and these old traditions have gradually disappeared. Zhou Ying did not embroider the insoles when she got married, let alone make shoes.

This is just her doing it when she has time.

Jiang Xiaoxuan held the insole and said a little embarrassedly: "That's what I have to say, this should be embroidered for you."

Isn't this reversed?

However, she spoke very little, after all, she hadn't married yet, and it seemed like she was a little bit like that.

Besides, she can't embroider.

She held the insole in her hand and admired it on the right and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this old craft was amazing and the embroidery was so beautiful - although this pattern was popular decades ago, it was really beautiful.

Later, the pair of insoles were framed and collected as works of art.

She must be reluctant to put it under her feet.

Zhou Heng said in a very disgusting way: "Mom, why don't you have my insole?"

Jiang Xiaoxuan said in surprise: "Why are you so cruel? The insoles are embroidered with stitches, so how hurt your eyes are? Are you still here? Are you three years old?"

Zhou Heng was hit hard and said, "I'm just pitying myself. Why do you have it, I don't have it? Is my family status again? Alas, I'm so pitiful."

Li Yunlian now understood what her son meant, and she smiled and hammered it on his shoulder, saying, "You are just a traitor. I will embroider you when I have time."

It’s rare for my son to ask for something. He used to be a must for this and that.

Zhou Heng hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm joking, don't you hear it? No one is wearing this kind of insole now, so it's still hard to embroider. If you have that time, just make more delicious food."

He actually knew that Jiang Xiaoxuan could not use such insoles. Although the flower shape is beautifully embroidered, the style is old-fashioned and the old-fashioned style of the past. Not to mention her, no young girl would wear such insoles.

But she didn't say that, and she accepted it happily, praised my mother's skills and felt sorry for her hard work. This only shows that she is kind and has no indulgence in her heart.

How do you say it? The more you understand, the more you really think she is a very good girl.

He wanted to make money quickly and go to her house to propose marriage and marry her back.

Li Yunlian asked: "I really don't want it?"

"I really don't want it. Nowadays, shoes don't use insoles. Moreover, embroidery is too consuming to see if you have time to sit and play with it?" Zhou Heng felt sorry for me.

Li Yunlian was a little disappointed, then sat down on the chair next to him, looked at the shape he woven, and said disgustedly: "You are so ugly, and the shape is not good."

Many people in the village would craft such simple vases. This was popular before, but later they were changed. No one wanted to woven such as rattan, which was considered rustic.

She didn't expect that her son would start working in this business this time and did not understand the young people now.

Moreover, the shape is not good-looking, it is strange, unlike the rich peony bottles used to be. There are more than one bottle every year, so how beautiful it looks on the cabinet! It is also festive.

Zhou Heng said: "People nowadays like to see this style, they think it looks good and generous. There are also some that are sold online."

Li Yunlian was surprised: "Someone wants this thing online? I can't even see it in our episodes. Who wants this!"

She thinks that the things sold in the countryside where the market is here are dirt-free enough, and even things that are not needed here can be sold online?

I really can't understand this era.

Jiang Xiaoxuan leaned against Zhou Heng and listened to the conversation between the mother and son. She felt a little touched in her heart, as if she was watching the conversation about history.

This kind of scene is not something you can see often.

In this era, everyone is in a hurry, and no one will stop to talk about these things.

It can be seen that the times are developing so fast, decades have become like history. This split sense of leapfrogging in the times has made many things disappear and many people are not used to it.

Young people are not used to the old, and the elderly are not used to the popular ones, and they are not used to each other.

Probably no dynasty in history is like this.

In the past, the elderly were regarded as wise men. When young people do things, they should listen to the opinions and experiences of the elderly, otherwise they would easily suffer losses.

But now? The elderly cannot understand the things about young people, so what experience can they have? What young people pursue is enterprising, courageous, and pioneering and innovative.

The old concept seems to have nowhere to stay, and their life experience is disappearing in large quantities.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoxuan was so interested in this worthless old craft, Li Yunlian said, "I have time tomorrow. I will make a phoenix for you to play with. We weave it with straw here. Wang Rui's mother learned to weave it before when she was young."

Zhou Heng refuted his mother: "Only the sister can do it? I can make it up too."

Li Yunlian asked him: "Then do you still remember how it made it up?"

I was just making it up when I was a kid when I was not very entertained, and now no one can remember this. But now I happened to mention it and suddenly I remembered it.

It is woven with cattails. Cattails are weeds growing in the water, everywhere and are very tough, so many daily tools are woven with that.

Nowadays, plastic and stainless steel products are both cheap and easy to deal with, so they have gradually replaced this. But some nostalgic people will cut back some of this kind of grass and make some use of it.

For example, the pot lid of steamed vegetables and steamed buns.

The iron pot lid is indeed convenient and easy to use, but when it comes to steaming vegetables, it is still woven with grass. Because the grass is water-absorbing, the water vapor is directly absorbed by the grass after it is added. If there are too many, part of it will be revealed and will not drip directly, keeping the steamed buns, vegetables, etc. dry.

The iron pot is tight and solid. When the steam meets the iron pot, it gathers into water droplets. When it drips onto the vegetables, the steamed vegetables will turn into soup dishes, and the steamed buns are also sparse.

Nowadays, Zhou Hengjia uses old-style steamed everything, and it feels delicious.

When Zhou Ying was steaming in the city, he used the straw woven pot lid made by me.

Zhou Heng said: "Why don't I remember? I remember, and I made it bad."

Straw weaving can have many varieties, straw weaving animals, birds, phoenixes, etc., and some other gadgets.

Moreover, this thing is also regional and has its own styles. Many places have applied for related intangible cultural heritage, and some places have specially organized exhibitions.

Jiang Xiaoxuan said, "Then let's make up one tomorrow."

She believes that it has reached the age of revival, and straw weaving and rattan weaving products have reached a trend. There are many people who are interested and they should be able to make their own style.

She is a little sad. Many brands of straw and rattan products have good retail prices, and are often marked with Southeast Asian style, foot basin style, Swiss style, etc.

It seems that these are quite high-end.

Are we not the founders of these handicrafts? Are the products we make don’t deserve?

Li Yunlian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll knit one for you tomorrow, so I'll make dinner first."

She felt very happy that what she did could come in handy, as if it was a big deal.

Seeing me happily putting the sewing basket, then preparing to make dinner, and even humming a small song while walking, humming an opera tune, Zhou Heng could feel that she was in a good mood.

He gave Jiang Xiaoxuan a thumbs up: "You are amazing, you have made my mother so happy!"

Parents also need to have a sense of presence. Sometimes, they will be happy if they ask them to do something.

When Jiang Xiaoxuan heard Zhou Heng say this, she grimaced at him and said, "I didn't coax it, I'm sincere."

Zhou Heng smiled.

He weaved the vase, then picked up the pictures painted by Li Li and compared them. It felt really interesting and looked very artistic.

Then, he took a finished picture and sent it to Li Li for her to appreciate it. After all, it was the picture she drew, so she would give priority to the finished product.

Jiang Xiaoxuan also admired this new work over and over again. She felt very beautiful, and she had a good aesthetic taste. She also imagined in her heart what kind of flowers should be inserted to maximize its artistic sense.

Li Yunlian was picking vegetables in the yard. When she saw that the work was completed, she only took a look and didn't want to look at it again. She said, "This is not good-looking, a bit ugly."
