Chapter 1203: Chapter 380 Teaching the Girl, A Great Harvest_2

The more she calculated, the more she felt it was not worth it. Xin Er’s eyes shone fiercely as she glared at the embroidery in her hands, beginning to question her life decisions.

The sight provoked another round of laughter from everyone. Mo Yan reached out to pinch his sister’s puffed-up little face, saying, "Had I known you learned embroidery from Aunt Li just to earn silver, I’d rather have taught you to recognize herbs and taken you to the mountains to gather them every day."

"Who says I did it for the silver?" Xin Er immediately retorted, giving her sister a look that said "you don’t understand me": "I simply love embroidery, the colorful patterns, that’s why I decided to follow Aunt Li to learn, otherwise, I would’ve given up long ago."

A hint of amusement flashed in Mo Yan’s eyes, but her face showed struggle as she said, "If that’s the case, then why do you complain about earning too little silver? After all, you learned it for the silver, didn’t you?"

Xin Er was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to counter; she truly did feel it was not worth it because of the meager amount of silver.

Mo Yan patted her sister’s head, declaring sagely with an air of pretense, "Never forget why you started!"

But Xin Er took those words to heart, reflecting as she looked at the embroidery in her hands, a flash of determination in her eyes.

"Remember, it would be best to finish the screen in two months. But don’t stay up late and burn the midnight oil; be careful with your eyes," Mo Yan reminded her. This girl spent every day, aside from eating and sleeping, focused on embroidering the screen, often with swollen eyes, clearly working on it even at night.

Working quickly with her needle and thread, Xin Er, without raising her head, said, "Father’s big celebration is in two more months. I need to finish it and make it into a screen ahead of time, otherwise, the past few months’ efforts will all be in vain."

Ever since Mo Qingze and Cui Qingrou officially became engaged, Xin Er decided to personally embroider a large screen to give to her father as a wedding congratulatory gift. Given the size of the room, Xin Er chose an eight-panel screen with intricate floral and bird designs, which was particularly time-consuming and mentally exhausting.

"Father won’t mind if it’s a few days late. Your health and eyesight are the most important," Mo Yan tried to persuade her.

"It’s not the same," Xin Er evidently wasn’t convinced: "Giving it before the wedding is meaningful and shows sincerity. Besides, there’s not much left to do. I’m faster at embroidering than before. I can finish it before the ceremony without overexerting myself."

On hearing this, Mo Yan felt a surge of bitterness. That girl hadn’t truly accepted Auntie from the Cui Family yet, had she? If the family really treated each other sincerely, what would there be to talk about, sincerity or lack thereof?

As she saw every stitch filled with her sister’s effort, Mo Yan turned her face away, choosing not to watch any longer. But Xin Er seemed to remember something and said to her sister, "It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival in a month. Should we start preparing the festival gift for the Cui family?"

Mo Yan hid the unusual look on her face, shaking her head as she said, "It’s usually food like mooncakes. Preparing them too early may spoil them; three to five days in advance should be enough."

Xin Er thought for a moment, then asked, "There should be a lantern festival in the city on Mid-Autumn Day, right? How about we go into the city for the festival this year? After paying our respects to the Moon God, our family could go lantern-viewing and invite Bro Xiao, Brother Yan, and even Cui Xiaoqi along?"

Mo Yan pondered for a moment, finding the idea quite appealing. Since the year she almost got kidnapped, the family hadn’t attended any lantern festivals and spent each Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival at home. Although safe and warm, this routine lacked a sense of novelty year after year.

If they went into the city to enjoy the lanterns and invited Xiao Ruiyuan and others to join them, spending the festival joyously together, just the thought was delightful. If possible, inviting Auntie from the Cui Family to let the sister get to know her better and deepen their understanding would be even better.

With this in mind, Mo Yan agreed without hesitation, "We’ll bring it up when father returns; as long as he has no objections, we’ll go into the city for the festival this year."

A few days later, Mo Qingze returned. After hearing the sisters’ suggestion, he hesitated, fearing the unpredictable dangers due to the crowd. But with the persistent Zhenzhen backing the idea, Mo Qingze, having no other choice, ultimately agreed and also accepted Xin Er’s suggestion to invite Xiao Ruiyuan and the others.

As for Mo Yan teasingly suggesting that their father write a letter to personally invite Cui Qingrou to join the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mo Qingze felt awkward about writing it himself, as it would have been improper. He decisively shifted the task to his youngest son.
