Chapter 112
Chapter 112
Making clothes for Tao Meili is not an easy task. She participates in film castings rather than fashion shows. The sense of design must be just right, neither can the clothes take away Tao Meili's demeanor, and can't be too low-key, otherwise Can't stand out from the crowd of clothes from Hong Kong City.
Chen Wan tore up half-drawn design drafts and threw them on the ground. He had already thrown more than a dozen paper balls like this, and they were scattered all over the place.Xu Kongshan gently pushed the door open, picked them up one by one and unfolded them, as if what he was holding was not a waste manuscript, but Chen Wan's precious hard work.
"Liu'er, it's time to eat." Xu Kongshan held Chen Wan's left hand, using the warmth of his palm to dispel the chill from his fingertips.In Xu Kongshan's eyes, Chen Wan's design was free and happy, while the creases on the paper showed his irritability at the moment.
Chen Wan recovered from his thoughts, he stuffed the same cold right hand into Xu Kongshan's padded jacket, and closed his eyes comfortably: "It's so warm. Brother Shan, you can eat, I don't have an appetite right now."
There was a sweater between Xu Kongshan's padded jacket and autumn clothes, so Chen Wan's hands could not reach him.
Regarding fashion design, Xu Kongshan is a layman, so he can't help Chen Wan.But people are iron and rice is steel, no matter whether Chen Wan has an appetite or not, Xu Kongshan will not let Chen Wan go hungry.
If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to work.
"I stewed mutton, do you smell it?" When facing Chen Wan, Xu Kongshan had endless patience and gentleness, "Stew all afternoon, you are not cold, drink a bowl of soup to warm up, I will go Bring it to you."
Chen Wan's irritability was soothed by Xu Kongshan's tenderness. He grabbed Xu Kongshan and stood up with his strength: "I smell it, it smells so good..."
Because Chen Wan was afraid of the cold, Xu Kongshan thought about giving him nourishment. Astragalus, wolfberry and red dates were added to the mutton, which made him feel nourished just by looking at it.
In the love between Chen Wan and Xu Kongshan, the two are always doing everything within their ability for each other, never caring who pays more.The more ordinary it is, the more precious it will become over time.
"Liu'er, you are so good, the clothes you make must be better than those in Hong Kong City." Xu Kongshan comforted Chen Wan. In his eyes, no one could make clothes better than Chen Wan.
"Thank you, Brother Shan." The smile returned to Chen Wan's face. He was always thinking about how the clothes in Hong Kong City would be designed, and his thinking was limited. No wonder he couldn't draw a satisfactory design.
Chen Wan drew a new version of the design, this time he didn't tear it down and crumpled it up again, although he always felt that something was wrong when he looked left and right, but it still didn't prevent it from being the most suitable for Tao Meili out of all his current designs .
"Brother Shan, what do you think?" Chen Wan showed the design to Xu Kongshan who was helping him cut the fabric.
"It looks good." Xu Kongshan's speech made Chen Wan laugh. What was he expecting? He expected to hear something other than praise from Xu Kongshan.
Forget it, for now.Chen Wan put down the notebook, took the scissors from Xu Kongshan's hand, and sat on his lap: "Brother Shan, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Xu Kongshan put his arms around Chen Wan's waist, in case he didn't sit still and fell.
Xu Kongshan had been cutting cloth for Chen Wan all day long, and the scissors had left deep marks on his fingers.Chen Wan grabbed his hand and massaged him. It was useless, but it made Xu Kongshan's heart itch.
Chen Wan's massaging movements were incoherent. After rubbing his hands, he raised his arms to pinch Xu Kongshan's shoulders.Chen Wan didn't know if it worked or not, but his hands were sore anyway.
Xu Kongshan didn't want him to suffer, he pulled Chen Wan's hand away after less than 2 minutes: "Are you still busy?"
"No." As soon as Chen Wan finished speaking, Xu Kongshan supported him to stand up.Chen Wan jolted along with his walking movements, and directed Xu Kongshan to turn off the lights in the workshop and living room one after another.After entering the bedroom, Chen Wan held Xu Kongshan's face in the posture of being hugged upright, and lowered her head to kiss the tip of his nose.
Xu Kongshan didn't let him go, the sound of kissing could be heard in the bedroom, and Chen Wan kicked his legs: "I didn't wash—"
"I'll fetch water." Xu Kongshan put Chen Wan on the bed, Chen Wan's eyes were wet, Xu Kongshan couldn't hold back, and kissed him for a while.
On the next Saturday, Chen Wan didn't have to go to school, so he naturally avoided the painful morning exercise. The coolness in the air made him shrug off his shoulders that were exposed outside the quilt.Xu Kongshan got up early, and Chen Wan touched Xu Kongshan's warm clothes with his eyes closed.
"It's frosty today, wear thicker clothes." Xu Kongshan came up from downstairs, he went to the non-staple food store, his hair was covered with moisture.
Frost in winter is a common occurrence. Chen Wan looked at the clothes in the closet and got a headache. He usually wears very thick clothes, so how would he move if they are thicker.
Xu Kongshan opened the window, and the persimmon tree was looming in the dense fog. Chen Wan, who succumbed to the low temperature, put on a cotton vest under his padded jacket.
Chen Wan, who was bound by clothes, went downstairs with Xu Kongshan like a clumsy penguin, that slightly funny appearance was unspeakably cute.
Chen Wan raised her hands to let her sleeves slide down, and exposed half of her arms to twist the handkerchief in the basin to wipe her face. The ducks in the corner fluttered and quacked.
"Where did the duck come from?" Chen Wan turned her head in amazement, and met a beady eye of the gray shelduck.
"I bought it at the entrance of the non-staple food store." Xu Kongshan lifted the lid of the pot, "It is said to be an old duck that has been raised for two years."
The non-staple food store can help kill ducks, but Xu Kongshan doesn't want to waste duck blood and duck intestines, so he decides to take it back and kill it himself.
Chen Wan had seen killing chickens and pigs, but not ducks. He was curious about where Xu Kongshan was going to kill.The water on the stove for blanching duck feathers boiled, Xu Kongshan grabbed the duck's neck, and the short and thin fluff turned out.
"Brother Shan, wait." The sharp edge of the knife barely touched the duck's neck, and Chen Wan urgently stopped.
Xu Kongshan closed his hands in doubt, and saw that Chen Wan touched the feathers on the neck and breast of the gray shelduck twice with joy.
It's really easy to find nowhere to go through iron shoes. It's a warmer and lighter material than cotton. Isn't this here?
After learning that Chen Wan wanted to use duck feathers to make clothes, Xu Kongshan hesitated for a moment: "Is one duck's feathers enough?"
Of course, one duck is not enough, but there are still some in the non-staple food store.
Chen Wan spent a small amount of money to get back a large bag of duck feathers, and spent a long time picking and picking with Xu Kongshan, leaving some soft hairs suitable for stuffing, soaking them in boiling water.
The duck feathers gave off an unpleasant smell when heated. Chen Wan frowned. He also crossed the river by feeling the stones, taking every step he took.
Chen Wan soaped the soap three times before washing away the residual duck feather smell from his hands. He opened the back door of the kitchen to breathe. The dense fog gradually dissipated, and the invisible sunlight penetrated the clouds and formed beams of fog.
Winter amaranth and green vegetables are planted in the backyard, and they are all green as far as the eye can see.Suddenly, Chen Wan smelled a refreshing fragrance. He followed the fragrance to find it, and found a wintersweet tree in the corner.Before it didn't bloom, it was full of leaves. Neither he nor Xu Kongshan knew what it was.
The closer you get, the stronger the fragrance becomes. The small yellow flowers appear translucent under the sunlight, and there are still water droplets condensed by dense fog between the petals and stamens. When you touch them lightly, they fall to the ground and melt into the dark brown soil. .
The blooming flowers contrast sharply with the bare branches, showing a different kind of vitality.Chen Wan had a flash of inspiration, he thought of what was wrong with Tao Meili's design.
