The pretty educated youth became the favorite of the soldier king

Chapter 178 Six-petal button

Her basic techniques are okay, but she feels her acupuncture techniques are not that amazing yet, and she needs to continue learning!

She has only learned one needle technique in the book. There are still many advanced needle techniques, and there is still a long way to go in learning!

However, it is not a problem to repair Feng Jiajia's clothes and make them more beautiful at the same time!

He put the inner garment aside, picked up the severely torn cotton coat, and tore it diagonally from the collar downwards.

If this angle were to be fixed, there would be a long winding line on the chest, and it would be difficult to embroider patterns at this position as it would appear awkward.

Gu Xiaoqi thought that if he made some knots at the torn place, it would not only cover the torn place, but also make it more beautiful without being abrupt.

I have seen a design called six-petal button in a book. It is classic and simple, and is mostly used on cheongsams. But if you think boldly, it would have a different charm if used on cotton-padded jackets.

Thinking this way, Gu Xiaoqi started to work, looking at the pictures and texts in the book while doing the operations himself.

The knotting method of the six-petal knot is somewhat complicated. When looking at the pictures and texts, Gu Xiaoqi always finds mistakes. At this time, he especially misses the Internet of later generations.

You can definitely learn it quickly by watching the video, but think about it again, in the future this won’t be a rare thing anymore, you can buy a bunch of ready-made ones online.

Gu Xiaoqi studied it diligently, measured the distance of the tear in the cotton coat, and made five six-petal buttons, which he put aside for later use.

She stood up and stretched, then looked at the time. It was already around five o'clock. She had spent the entire afternoon in the room without realizing it.

When I walked out of the room, Qin Guizhi was cooking. She picked up some sauerkraut and prepared to stuff pork with it, and also fried some peanuts in oil.

Gu Xiaoqi went into the kitchen to help, but Qin Guizhi hurriedly said no. Seeing that the pork belly had not been cut yet, Gu Xiaoqi volunteered to cut the pork belly into slices.

Seeing that Xiaoqi was eager to try, Qin Guizhi did not refuse.

Gu Xiaoqi cut the pork belly slice by slice, making it just the right thickness.

"I didn't expect that, Xiaoqi! Your knife skills are pretty good!" Qin Guizhi said.

"I used to cook at home, but since I moved to the countryside and came to my aunt's house, I haven't cooked or used a knife for a long time! Aunt, you've worked so hard!"

Qin Guizhi waved her hands and said, "I don't have much to do today. If you don't let me do this, I'll be rotten! Don't feel burdened. Auntie is willing to cook. I'm happy to see you guys enjoying the meal!"

"Aunt is so nice!" Gu Xiaoqi said sincerely.

"Someone from the village just came over and told everyone to gather at the threshing ground tomorrow morning. They said there's something to announce! No one can be absent!"

Gu Xiaoqi nodded. It seemed that this incident had a significant impact. The captain hadn’t even taken office as the acting village chief yet, and such a big thing had happened. He must be so angry that he must be dying!

When he thought that everyone would go to the threshing ground tomorrow, Gu Xiaoqi wanted to quickly alter Feng Jiajia's clothes, otherwise she would be frozen to death if she wore that thin cotton coat tomorrow.

Lu Jingan brought the cooled peanuts to the table, and Gu Xiaoqi followed closely and brought the steaming sauerkraut and pork to the dining table in the main hall.

After a while, Qin Guizhi came out with a bowl of garlic sauce. The braised pork should be dipped in garlic sauce to be considered the perfect match. When you take a bite, the texture of the meat is so fragrant that it can kill you.

After a satisfying meal, Lu Jingan cleaned up the dishes while Gu Xiaoqi returned to her room and continued her work.

All that remains is to sew a layer of edging on the edge of the tear, and then find the right position to sew the six-petal button.

Slow work produces fine work. These two steps took Gu Xiaoqi until after nine o'clock in the evening. She couldn't deliver the clothes today. It seemed that she would have to go to the educated youth center early tomorrow to return the clothes to Feng Jiajia.

Rubbing his sore eyes, Gu Xiaoqi checked once more, and confirmed that the whole dress fit perfectly. Only then did he happily look at the clothes in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.

She flashed into the space and put the clothes into the washing machine. She ran to the bathroom, took a warm bath, and put on a facial mask.

When I came out, the washing machine had stopped working. After washing and drying, the clothes were half dry when I took them out.

Smelling the faint floral scent on the clothes, Gu Xiaoqi hung the clothes in the room, went into the space and took out a box of milk to drink.

By the way, he also took a look at the spiritual water in the jade bowl. Half of the bowl was already accumulated, but Gu Xiaoqi did not touch it.

After leaving the space, I started to make the bed and prepare for sleep.

The next day, Gu Xiaoqi got up early and Qin Guizhi was already busy in the kitchen, steaming a full tray of large white flour buns and a pot of mixed pickles.

Gu Xiaoqi took one out from there. It was still hot. After it cooled down for a while, he broke off a piece and tasted it. It was soft and delicious, with a light sweetness!

Aunt Guizhi must have added sugar!

"Aunt, I'll eat first. I'll take some clothes to Feng Jiajia later, and then I'll go directly to the threshing ground with her!"

Gu Xiaoqi took a steamed bun and started eating with a plate of pickles.

"Auntie will cook some food right now. Don't just eat pickles, you have to eat some vegetables too. I'll be there in a minute!"

"No need, Auntie, I'm almost done eating!"

Gu Xiaoqi ate quickly. After a while, he had finished a big steamed bun and was already very full.

"Then drink the soup before you go. It will warm you up so you won't be cold when you go out!"

Qin Guizhi made a simple seaweed egg drop soup and it was ready in just two or three minutes.

Gu Xiaoqi picked up the bowl and drank the entire bowl of soup and other ingredients. Oh~ this time he was too full!

"Aunt Guizhi, I'm leaving!"

Gu Xiaoqi shouted towards the kitchen and went out.

When they arrived at the educated youth point, Gu Xiaoqi knocked directly on the door of Feng Jiajia's room. Feng Jiajia poked her head out, and when she saw it was Xiaoqi, she quickly opened the door and let her in.

"Xiao Qi, why are you here so early?" Feng Jiajia asked with her messy hair.

Gu Xiaoqi entered the house. It was warm inside, so he took off his coat temporarily.

"I'm bringing you some clothes! They've already been altered, come and see if you like them?"

Gu Xiaoqi took out two pieces of clothing from his pocket and handed them to Feng Jiajia.

Feng Jiajia took the clothes in her hand, opened it and took a look. Her eyes lit up in an instant. A white inner garment was decorated with a few colorful petals, making this originally ordinary dress look particularly delicate and a little playful.

The other cotton coat is no longer as dull as before. It has a line of buttons winding down. Because of the special buttons, the whole coat looks more elegant and classy. It feels like two different clothes compared to the previous one.

If you smell it carefully, you can smell a faint floral scent on the clothes.
