In fact, Wu Yinan has known about Xiao Yuan for so many years. After all, she is the daughter of an old neighbor and has lived in her home for three years. How could she turn a blind eye?
However, it is not easy to get the news about Xiao Yuan. When Xiao Yuan went to G city to study, she felt something was wrong. So after Wuyou went abroad, she immediately returned to the countryside and asked Xiao Yuan's mother what happened.
Something happened.
However, after asking again and again, Xiao Yuan's mother didn't say anything. She only said that it was Xiao Yuan's own idea. In fact, she was not worried about her child being alone outside, but the admission notice came out, and she also changed it.
No more.
Just like that, Xiao Yuan stayed in G City alone for more than a year. Although she could not be said to have achieved academic success, she still had a guarantee. As long as she studied peacefully for a few years and obtained a diploma, she would have a degree.
Xiao Yuan has just adapted to the new environment, but the school is about to close down due to poor management!
Private vocational schools are like that. If they say they are bad, they will be bad. The students are undoubtedly the worst. The school is going to close, which means that the foothold that Madoka has finally established will be shaken again.
But because of Madoka's talent and hard-working spirit, the principal of the vocational school was deeply impressed by her and felt that she was a promising talent, so he introduced her to an old lady who owned a handmade tailoring shop.
Although it is just a small handmade tailor shop, even though it is just an unknown old lady, it is a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. The old lady has learned skills since she was a child and inherited her grandmother's true inheritance, tailoring clothes, knitting and mending.
She was proficient in embroidery and needlework, but because the old lady was born with disabled legs and because of the times, she always lived in a remote place and lived a hard life.
But the harder the environment, the more it trains people. The old lady has been studying her craft all her life, and she has already become a master of craftsmanship. Her handiwork has been exhibited at the expo, and has been well received by domestic and foreign media. It was even selected into the folk awards
material cultural heritage.
However, the old lady is getting older. She does not seek fame or profit, but only wants to have a good student who can inherit her craftsmanship in the future. But things like master and apprentice depend on fate. After many choices, she chose Madoka.
There are many talented people. Xiao Yuan is not the most intelligent child that the old lady has ever seen, but he is the most honest, obedient and the most able to endure hardships. In this way, the old lady decides to accept Xiao Yuan as her disciple.
Of course, learning skills in a tailor shop is different from studying in school. No matter how well you study, you still have no academic qualifications, but Xiao Yuan doesn't care about this, but she doesn't care, which doesn't mean Xiao Yuan's mother doesn't care.
In a place like the countryside, it is not easy to raise a talented child. It is already an amazing move for Xiao Yuan to give up her focus and go to a vocational school. Now she has to give up the opportunity to study and live in a small tailor shop.
It's even more unimaginable.
Xiao Yuan was very insistent. Although Xiao Yuan's mother disagreed, she was reasonable, so she took the initiative to find Wu Yinan and asked her to help decide.
Poor parents in the world, Wu Yinan naturally understands Xiao Yuan's mother's thoughts, but she also sees that Xiao Yuan's mother has actually acquiesced in Xiao Yuan's choice, but she still needs some more encouragement from others.
So she became the person who helped Xiao Yuan's mother, saying that if Xiao Yuan had any difficulties in the future, just go to her and she would help her if she could.
Just like that, Xiao Yuan's mother agreed, and Xiao Yuan went to the old lady's tailor shop and stayed there for three years.
Three years is not a long time, but to Madoka, it is like six long years.
Because the old lady was getting older and her health was deteriorating day by day, she didn't know if she could pass on all her skills to Xiao Yuan during her lifetime, so she taught her day and night, treating one day as two days.
Xiao Yuan studied during the day and during the night. Not only did she have to learn a craft, but she also had to take care of the old lady. The old lady had no children in her life and had no one to take care of her when she got old. So Xiao Yuan took on the responsibility.
She had three meals a day, washed her face and wiped her feet, and took care of her so much that she completely regarded the old lady as her own grandmother.
During those three years, the old lady and Xiao Yuan established a very deep family-like relationship, but in the process of learning the art, the old lady was very strict with Xiao Yuan, and punished her severely if she did the slightest thing wrong.
, they were not allowed to eat or sleep, and they had to cut and sew clothes all day and night.
Xiao Yuan suffered a lot, but never complained. In more than three years, she learned the old lady's lifelong craft, and not long after, the old lady passed away.
Madoka's original idea was that she would keep the tailor shop and continue to operate it, but before she died, the old lady gave her a business card and asked her to go to Italy to find a famous fashion designer.
Madoka couldn't imagine how such a big-name designer would pay attention to her. But the old lady told her that the master once owed her a favor.
Many years ago, when the designer was not yet famous, he came to China to collect styles. He was also doing his graduation project at the time. He designed a series of Chinese-style clothing, including men's shirts and women's shirts.
The master liked Chinese classical culture very much. He wanted to make the buttons of his shirt into the kind of buttons on ancient Chinese cheongsam. The clothes were already finished, but there were only a few buttons missing. So he wanted to ask the old lady for advice. The old lady glanced at the master's button.
Works, shook his head, "These two shirts are very well made, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are ingenious. It is a pity that men and women are mixed up, and left and right are not distinguished, which is a taboo in dressing! Such clothes, even if they are carved, will not be beautiful.
It can’t be called a good dress either!”
It’s true that clothes are divided into men’s and women’s, but are they also divided into left and right?
Yes! Men's shirt buttons are on the right, and women's shirt buttons are on the left!
But the two shirts made by that master had the buttons in the same position!
The master was shocked at the time. This is such a small detail. Everyone wears clothes and buttons every day, but few people notice this. He has studied design for so many years and has never discovered this difference.
No teacher had ever told him this.
After the master returned, he studied this issue specifically. After research, it was found that the difference between men's and women's shirt buttons can be traced back to the 17th century. At that time, buttons had just been invented and only rich people had buttons on their coats.
In the Middle Ages, noble men in Europe often wore swords. The swords were usually on the left side. Men's buttons were on the right side so that when they drew the swords, they would not be carried on their clothes. Imagine if the buttons were on the left side, how they would be carried on their clothes when they drew the swords.
, how embarrassing it must be.
Most of the noble ladies need the help of servants when they dress. In order to make it easier to button the clothes on the opposite side, the buttons are nailed to the left side of the clothes, so that the servants can help the master fasten them more quickly.
After receiving the guidance of the old lady, the master revised his work and published a paper on "women are left and men are right", which caused a sensation in the entire fashion industry at his graduation show and became famous ever since.
