Chapter 357: The Benefits of Packaging
The old lady didn’t know how to do embroidery, but she could make some clothes. However, whether she knew how to or not, others weren’t aware and it wasn’t possible to go ask her. Of course, her honest brother wouldn’t have suspected anything either.
After finishing the meal, Qin Xiangnuan took the bowls and plates from the table into the kitchen to wash them. The scent of the dish soap was faintly fragrant in her hands, and the clear water from the faucet washed over her fingers from time to time. Sometimes she would even feel as if she were in a trance, especially when she remembered how her fingers used to be as dry as tree bark.
She unintentionally rubbed her eyes, only to smear some soap bubbles into them, making her eyes uncomfortably tear up constantly.
It was quite a while later that her eyes felt much more comfortable. It was only when she looked in the mirror again that she realized her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s.
She rubbed her eyes again and thought it was better not to touch them. She decided to rest for the day and start embroidering the everlasting happiness design the next day.
From her previous cross-stitch experience, she remembered a lovely pattern of a couple in wedding attire. She decided to embroider that, but with a variation: she’d switch the man’s suit for a military uniform. After all, Qin Xiangnuan was making this for a soldier, and it needed to have some symbolic meaning. Oh yes, and it would be best to get her brother to find a photo of their company commander and his wife to use as a reference for her embroidery—it would be like creating an upscale wedding photo, utterly unique.
She had fabric in the system; she would also make a four-piece bedding set, bright red with embroidered cartoon-style traditional designs, cartoons of dragons and phoenixes. Currently, she didn’t have a pattern for that, so she needed to check with the system to see if it was available. Originally planning to rest, her impatience got the better of her, and she entered the system with her red eyes wide open.
She had some understanding and exposure to ancient line drawings, but as for modern designs, she felt rather helpless. In her previous life, she had only seen them but hadn’t had much contact with them. Therefore, she was hoping the system would have these designs; otherwise, she really would have to rack her brain trying to conceive and draw them.
She pulled up the system’s transparent panel and said, "You know what I want, right? Do you have it?" She went straight to the point.
