Chapter 831 Handmade
"Really? Sister-in-law, this is very troublesome, right?"

Mei Zi's eyes lit up for a second, but soon became hesitant and embarrassed:
"How about forget it..."

"It's a small thing, don't worry!"

Lu Miao smiled and pulled her to sit down at the table.

Mei Zi couldn't contain her joy, and with sparkling eyes she chose the small white and purple flower patterns.

Lu Miao did not hide the beads from Mei Zi.

Mei Zi watched from the side for a while and realized something:
"Sister-in-law, are we going to have new styles in our store?"

"I have this idea, but I haven't decided yet. Let's wait and see."

Lu Miao spoke conservatively, but Mei Zi seemed impatient:
"Sister-in-law, just sell this! It will work, it will definitely work! It's really beautiful, really!"

Lu Miao looked at Mei Zi with a smile and a reproachful look.

Mei Zi grabbed her arm and shook her:
"What I said is true. This one looks more exquisite than many other hair ties. It will definitely sell for money. At the very least, why don't we make a part and try it out?"

Lu Miao smiled and sighed, then changed his tone and said:

"Then why don't you learn from me?"

"Ok!"

Mei Zi's expression couldn't be faked. Lu Miao actually had some ideas just now.

It's just that she is very busy now, and she has to take some time out from time to time to take care of the family and spend time with the children, so she can't do many things by herself.

If Mei Zi could join in, there would be at least some output every day.

If you gather up some things first and then send them to the store, they won't be gone after just two are sold.

The sky in the first month of the lunar year was still a little foggy, and the light in the house was not that good.

Lu Miao asked Mei Zi to turn on the light in the office, cut a piece of fishing line for her, and started working with her.

There are many similarities between handicrafts.

The main point is to be careful.

While stringing the beads just now, Lu Miao realized a little bit of the pattern.

Mei Zi had just taken over, and she didn't take her to try any complicated moves.

Just take her to make the five-petal flower that she wore just now.

"The colors and styles can't be completely consistent. It doesn't matter if you can't adjust the style when you're just starting out, but you should occasionally try to mix the colors yourself."

Lu Miao held up a string of beads and gestured to guide:

"I taught you about color schemes when I made the hair bands before. You should be brave enough to try. Don't worry about wasting money. It won't waste much. If it doesn't work, just cut it and start over. Fishing line is something you buy in large rolls."

Mei Zi was probably a good student. She stared at the movements of her hands, but she did not forget to nod her head obediently and seriously.

Lu Miao smiled with relief, and continued to move his fingertips:

"A ring is a small item, and it doesn't take much work to make one. Look at it like this... Put it back on like this, tie a knot, shorten it, and adjust it. Then the beads won't fall apart, and it's very strong."

Lu Miao handed the finished product to Mei Zi to see.

Mei Zi looked at it carefully, looked at her and said:

"Then sister-in-law, if I keep wearing it like this and change the size of my fingers to the size of my wrists, can I string it into a bracelet?"

Lu Miao nodded: "Some simple styles can be done this way, and more complicated styles require exquisiteness, and something else will be added in the middle and at the end."

Mei Zi tilted her head and thought for a while, then finally nodded:
"I know, sister-in-law!"

If my sister-in-law would say so, it means my sister-in-law would.

Mei Zi was no longer in a hurry.

Once she gets familiar with it, her sister-in-law will definitely teach her.

Mei Zi was neither arrogant nor impatient. She lowered her head and slowly strung the beads together.

Lu Miao watched her for a while and saw that she had good patience and was able to keep her composure.

I tore two pieces of paper into a small box and helped her match a few colors.

Mei Zi was stringing rings on the side.

Lu Miao took out a pen, calculated in his mind, and roughly drew small circles on the paper.

Finally, draw a curve that goes between the circles. The circles are beads and the curve is the fishing line.

Because I have just started, I am not yet proficient in beading skills.

So I drew out my thought process and took a look at it whenever I had time. It can roughly serve as a self-reminder...

After finishing the sketch, Lu Miao closed the pen cap and started working.

If there is a ring, there will be a bracelet.

If there is a bracelet, there will be a necklace.

The same stringing method, rice beads are a feeling.

Pearls and other special-shaped beads have a different feeling when strung together.

Lu Miao spent the entire afternoon in the factory yard.

She strung together two necklaces, four bracelets and several rings, and each one of them stunned Mei Zi.

Although it is not real jewelry or jade, it is still quite exquisite and unique compared to the "jewelry" available to the public at this stage.

Mei Zi found it hard to believe that a single ordinary-looking bead could have such clear color and texture when strung into a ring.

When strung into bracelets and necklaces, they look so delicate and noble.

She didn't dare touch the beautiful ones because they looked very expensive and she was afraid of damaging them.

Handicrafts are addictive, especially when they are recognized.

Mei Zi's fuss provided Lu Miao with sufficient emotional value.

She smiled with eyes curved, picked the color that Mei Zi liked, took Mei Zi's hand, and directly put the pearl and purple beaded one on her:

"Each material looks ordinary when viewed alone. What's important is how to combine them. Take your time and you can do it too."

Mei Zi nodded in surprise, and then she reacted like untying the clasp of a bracelet:

"Sister-in-law, this is too valuable! I'd better keep it and sell it..."

Before she could even utter the word "right", Lu Miao pressed her hand down and said angrily:

“No pushing.”

Mei Zi met her gaze, pursed her lips softly, nodded obediently, and indeed, she obeyed and stopped refusing.

Lu Miao was satisfied.

It was getting dark outside, and Lu Miao simply packed up his things, taking away the finished beads and some materials.

Most of the others were left here, so Mei Zi could lock the door when entering and leaving and use them at her own discretion.

The plum chick pecked at the rice and nodded, accompanying her all the way to the gate of the yard.

Watching Lu Miao walk away, Mei Zi lifted her sleeves to look at the bracelet.

Such a beautiful bracelet, the ones sold in department stores can’t even compare to this one.

Such a valuable thing, my sister-in-law gave it to her just like that...

Her sister-in-law really treats her well, so she can't let her sister-in-law down.

Mei Zi rolled up her sleeves and went into the house:

"You can go home from work today. Come early tomorrow and get your wages before you go back to work."

"Okay~"

The factory yard is filled with rustling noises as the day's work ends.

On the other side, the Fu family courtyard.

The Mechanical and Electrical Factory has finalized the new unit address and will move outside the West Third Ring Road.

The state has approved funding for projects under construction, and recently there have been large trucks transporting construction materials to the outside of the West Third Ring Road every day.

There has to be manual guarding there every day.

As the deputy factory director of the management level, Fu Jingyou would go over to take a look from time to time.

When Lu Miao returned home, Fu Jingyou had not returned yet.

After dinner, he helped the children wash their hands and faces, and only came back to this room after almost all of them had been arranged to lie down on the kang.
