Youthful Splendid Edge

Chapter 4

Ye Fanghua was still waiting, looking at Aunt Niu with wide eyes, and said in that immature voice: "Aunt Niu, how about you, teach me Su embroidery, and I also want to embroider these cute little animals."

There is a reason for this idea.

The other neighbor next door to Ye Fanghua's house is a very strange skinny old man. He has always been single and doesn't like to socialize with others. He only goes out once every few days. Talking, the old man is also indifferent to his clothes, very mysterious.

It was a coincidence that the cat raised by the old man's house gave birth to a litter of kittens two days ago. Ye Fanghua happened to pass by and saw those kittens, so she walked into the old man's house to tease them kitten.

It's natural for children to like small animals, and it's okay, but these kittens don't have a full moon, so they can withstand the toss, so when the old man saw Ye Fanghua touching those cat cubs with his hands, he gave Xiao Fanghua angrily. He was rushed out, and ran to Ye Er's house to make a big fuss.

Of course, although Ye Er can't speak, he is a person who has seen the world after all, and his temper is also very tough, so he got into such a row with the old man.

Coincidentally, this sentence is very appropriate to describe the relationship between Ye Er and the old man. The two were having a good time, and Xiao Fanghua was so scared that she hid at Aunt Niu's house. When Aunt Niu brought Xiao Fanghua home, the two looked as if they had swallowed several eggs, and they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

After asking this question, I found out that one of the comrades in the black and white photo hanging beside Ye Er's bed turned out to be the old man's son.

This is a good time, when talking about serving in the army in the past, the old man was crying because of his son's sacrifice for the country, and Ye Er was filled with righteous indignation because of his intimate beheading sacrifice, and the two chatted like this.

It was a blessing in disguise, and the lonely old man looked for his lost relatives here at Ye Er. Ye Er felt the missing paternal love from the old man, and Ye Fanghua also got the consent of the old man to give Ye Fanghua a kitten after the full moon.

Cats are very common mammals, and even Ye Fanghua himself doesn't know why, why he likes cats; what's more, he didn't expect that he would have an indissoluble bond with cats in the future.

Aunt Niu looked at Ye Fanghua's serious face, and smiled slightly: "Okay, but you are still too young, I will teach you Su embroidery when you grow up."

"Then how old do I have to be, Aunt Niu, you will teach me?" Hearing Aunt Niu's answer, Ye Fanghua's big round eyes narrowed into two slits, like two crescent moons.

Obviously, Aunt Niu's answer does not satisfy Xiao Fanghua, because now Xiao Fanghua can't wait to learn Suzhou embroidery and embroider the cute kitten at home.

Aunt Niu was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that Xiao Fanghua would break the casserole and ask the end, she couldn't help holding her forehead to perfunctory: "Uh, at least you have to be at the age of school, but at that time, I guess you won't be able to see it." Get into this craft!"

"No way, I want to draw all the kittens in the world on this Suzhou embroidery." For a while, Ye Fanghua was already looking forward to embroidering patterns of kittens in the future.

"Okay, okay, when our little Fanghua grows up, Aunt Niu will definitely teach you embroidery."

"Yeah, Aunt Niu is the best."

Tong Yan Wuji, in Aunt Niu's opinion, this conversation was just Ye Fanghua's whim, but it left a deep imprint on Ye Fanghua's heart.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Fanghua turned 6 years old and started to go to school with Zhang Ming and Zhang Liang. At this time, Ye Er was working harder than usual. In order to make up for Ye Fanghua’s tuition, she had to charge a few extra dollars every day outside. Hours of rubbish, so as to make up enough, so that Ye Er will have no time to take care of Ye Fang.

As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early. This sentence is justified. When most children of this age are still playing in the street, Ye Fanghua is surprisingly sensible and never makes trouble for Ye Er. The child in my heart feels a bit inferior in my heart, I can only say that with a heart of gratitude to Ye Er, I have already begun to share the trivial matters of the family for Ye Er.

Perhaps Aunt Niu forgot the promise she had made with Ye Fanghua. In Aunt Niu's eyes, it was just a joke, but Ye Fanghua always remembered it in his heart.

He is already 6 years old and has already gone to school, but Aunt Niu didn’t mention a word. The more Aunt Niu didn’t mention it, the more Ye Fanghua felt as if he was being harassed by a cat’s paw. Teach me Su embroidery!

"Ding Ding Ding"

"Students, this is the end of today's class. Everyone should practice what they learned today when they go back today. If anyone can't write dictation tomorrow, you have to use the palm of your hand."

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the teacher made a final supplement, but Ye Fanghua couldn't listen to a word, and was still thinking about how to ask Aunt Niu why after returning home.

"Fanghua, Fanghua, what's wrong with you, why are you so out of your mind? School is already over."

The teacher and classmates had already left the classroom, and Zhang Ming would bring Zhang Liang to Ye Fanghua to go home with him at this time.

No, Zhang Ming saw Ye Fanghua's strange expression from outside the classroom, and rushed into the classroom to sit in front of Ye Fanghua with a concerned look on his face.

"Fanghua? Fanghua?"

Zhang Liang also called out a few words, but Ye Fanghua still didn't respond, which made the two brothers look at each other, confused.

Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Ming and said, "Brother, what's the matter, maybe you're sick?"

When Zhang Ming heard this, he immediately became anxious, and quickly touched Ye Fanghua's forehead with his hand, and muttered: "No way, it was fine when I went out in the morning."

Just when Zhang Ming's hand was about to touch Ye Fanghua's forehead, Ye Fanghua suddenly moved, and while patting Zhang Ming's hand, she looked at Zhang Liang with contempt: "Who is sick, it's not, I'm just thinking thing."

"Hoohoo, hey, it's good that I'm not sick, Fanghua, you scared me to death, what are you thinking so engrossed in?" Zhang Ming immediately changed the subject, trying to resolve the previous embarrassment.

While cleaning her schoolbag, Ye Fanghua explained to the two of them: "Aunt Niu used to teach me Su embroidery. She said I was still young and had to wait for me to go to school. They won’t teach me until I graduate.”

Zhang Liang on the side was puzzled and asked: "What's so easy to learn? Isn't there people who learn painting in school? Just learn to paint. Why do you need to learn this kind of craft in the old society?"
