Chapter 1174 It’s Destined (1)
Gu Panxia looked up and saw a woman wearing a skirt walking towards this side in a panic.
The woman looked young, probably in her twenties. Her skin was sallow and she was very thin, just like someone who had been malnourished for a long time.
She stepped forward and pulled the little boy over, and said to Gu Panxia with a humble and apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, girl. Please don't blame the kid for being ignorant!"
Before Gu Panxia could speak, the little boy had reached out to hold her hand again and said, "Sister, the shoes my mother embroidered are very beautiful. Buy a pair! They're not expensive!"
"Little boy!"
The woman's voice became much louder, and the little boy's eyes darkened slightly, and his hands slowly relaxed.
The woman hurriedly held the little boy's other hand, bowed to Gu Panxia and said: "Girl, the kid is so ignorant, I'm really sorry!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Gu Panxia smiled slightly at the little boy, reached out and touched his head and said, "What's your name?"
The little boy's eyes lit up instantly, like an extra light suddenly appearing in the dark night.
Gu Panxia suddenly remembered the first time he saw Xiao Pandong when he first arrived in Yuehe Village.
This child was as old as Pandong at that time, and just as sensible.
"Sister, my name is Xiaotong! Will you buy the shoes embroidered by my mother?"
Gu Panxia couldn't help but chuckle. Just when the woman was about to scold the child, she took the lead and said, "How about you take your sister to see the shoes embroidered by your mother?"
The child smiled, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay!"
After saying that, he took her and walked towards the shoe stall first.
The woman had a restrained look on her face and followed behind him without hesitating to speak.
There are not many shoes on the shoe stall, they are all women's floor shoes. The quality of the cloth is average, but the embroidery work is excellent. The flowers on them are embroidered vividly, which is pleasing to look at.
Gu Panxia counted and found that there were ten pairs in total, of different sizes, and only one or two pairs were suitable for her.
"Sister, how are you? Are the shoes embroidered by my mother beautiful?"
The child gently tugged on her hand, with a slow look of anticipation on his face.
Gu Panxia nodded, "Yeah, it looks good!"
The woman on the side raised her lips shyly, "Girl, you are joking!"
Gu Panxia picked up a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with white orchid and smiled at the woman: "I wonder how to sell these shoes?"
The woman blushed slightly and whispered back: "Ten cents a pair."
"Why are they sold so cheaply?"
Gu Panxia was a little surprised. It could be seen that these shoes were made with great care. It would not be too expensive to sell them for fifteen or twenty cents.
The woman shook her head, "It's not cheap anymore, everyone says it's expensive!"
"You are so good at embroidery, why don't you try making embroidery to sell?"
Although Gu Panxia knew nothing about female workers, he also knew that in this era of embroidery, as long as the hands were good, the embroidered things would be very popular with the ladies of wealthy families.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the woman's expression darken.
"The little boy is sick, and his father's monthly salary is not enough to buy medicine. How can the family have any spare money to buy other things?"
The woman said, wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: "These ten pairs of shoes were made before he was born. I embroidered a few patterns and put them out for several days. No one has paid attention to them. Yesterday they came. A girl fell in love with the pair in your hand, but she left after hearing that they were sold for ten cents."
Gu Panxia couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.
Sure enough, compared to others, I am indeed much luckier.
