Ma Xiaoyu made a hair flower for Bai Banxia with her own hands. Now she has also learned some skills and secretly helped Bai Banxia's aunt to tie the hair for her own money.
However, Ma Xiaoyu deposited the money with Niu to avoid being snatched away by her grandmother and father.
Ye Qin sewed a pair of socks for Bai Banxia. The fabric was soft and soft, and lotus flowers were embroidered on the edge.
Bai Banxia checked all the girls' gifts one by one and praised them one by one. Everyone was very happy.
At this time, a girl from the Zhou family in the village came. She was slightly younger and looked cowardly and not very talkative.
"Sister Banxia, this is for you." Zhou Juan's voice was small, and the hand that handed the handkerchief was still a little trembling.
Bai Banxia thought to herself that this child is too timid, right? He looks a bit like his predecessor.
She couldn't help but want to help her, just like she wanted to help her predecessor, but when she came here, her predecessor was no longer there. She lived on behalf of her predecessor, but failed to directly help her predecessor.
Thinking of this, she went over and took Zhou Juan's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister Zhou, the embroidery on the handkerchief is good, I like it very much."
As she spoke, she opened the veil and said she liked it without even looking at it, which seemed too insincere.
I don't want to reveal a little mud mark when the veil is opened, and the threads are drawn out of the embroidery.
Bai Banxia thought about how nervous she was just now. It seemed that something was wrong with this little girl.
She hurriedly put the veil away. If she had known this was the case, she wouldn't have shown it more.
Zhou Juan's eyes were red with anxiety. She was afraid that Bai Banxia would be angry, so she hurriedly said: "Sister Banxia, I, I didn't mean it."
Bai Banxia smiled and patted her shoulder, "The veil is very good. I received it, thank you."
Her voice was gentle and her eyes were encouraging. Zhou Juan felt much calmer and did not cry.
Sister Banxia is so gentle, she must embroider a new veil and give it to her.
Bai Banxia wanted to find a topic to talk about this matter, but she didn't want another girl in the room to say disdainfully: "It's somewhat sincere to add makeup to someone, right? If something is broken, just replace it, and make such a mess."
At this point, Zhou Juan's eyes turned red again, and Bai Banxia hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it'll be fine as soon as your intention comes to mind. I saw that the handkerchief was embroidered very well. I guess I accidentally dropped it on the road."
Zhou Juan whispered: "Sister Banxia, I will embroider another piece for you later."
"Okay." Bai Banxia responded with a smile.
The girl who spoke was a girl from the Li family, her name was Li Ningning. She didn’t know whether she had a quarrel with Zhou Juan or was a little dissatisfied because Bai Banxia took special care of Zhou Juan, so she said reluctantly: "Sister Banxia, please be considerate of her."
That’s right, but who doesn’t know that she’s just an ordinary needleworker and can’t do anything well?”
The other two girls next to her also agreed and said that Zhou Juan was not good at embroidery, so they even used a dirty handkerchief to add makeup.
"Okay, stop talking." Bai Banxia emphasized his tone.
They were all young girls in their fifteenth or sixteenth year. After being treated so harshly by Bai Banxia, the three of them shut up, but they looked very aggrieved.
"Sister Banxia, it's not worth it for us to do it for you. How can we put on makeup and do this?" Li Ningning said angrily. She spoke a little fast, and she seemed to have an upright temperament.
Bai Banxia smiled at her to comfort her, and then said: "Actually, this is a small matter. I understand that you are unhappy because of me, but we can think about many things from another angle."
"Tell me a story I like very much, called The Man of Nine Oxen."
Bai Banxia slowly told the story of the Nine Bulls.
"There used to be a village where the rule for marrying off a daughter was to use cows as a bride price. The better the girl, the more cows she needed to marry home. The maximum number was nine cows."
"One day, a stranger brought many cows, but he chose a very ordinary girl in the village. He said that he was willing to use nine cows to marry the girl. Even the girl's father said that his daughter was not worthy of the nine cows and could not marry him.
.But the man still insisted, saying that he would not be wrong, and his wife was a nine-year-old woman."
Bai Banxia smiled and asked everyone: "Do you know what happened next?"
Everyone was curious. Some people asked the girl if she was married. Others said that nine cows were given as a betrothal gift, so it would be weird if she didn't get married.
Others say why that person chose that girl. Is there anything special about her? Or does the girl already know that person?
"The ending of the story is that after a few years, everyone saw the ordinary girl who was married, but found that her whole person was different. Not only her appearance, but also her temperament and abilities had become the best.
, compared with her peers, she has become the best. So she is really worthy of being one of the best, and people in the village praise men for their discernment."
Bai Banxia smiled and asked: "Do you know how men answer?"
Everyone was guessing. At this time, He Yunlan and Du Hui walked in from outside.
"A man must say that he has determined that his wife is the best, which is the greatest encouragement to her. As time goes by, his wife really becomes the best person." He Yunlan said.
Bai Banxia nodded in agreement, "Yes, even an ordinary child will become better and better if you encourage him more."
"This story has always given me great insights. Is it difficult to praise others? So I am willing to praise others more, discover their strengths, and encourage them to become better. Today I praised everyone, really
This is not to be polite, but I have seen the shining points in you, and I also believe that each of you is the best girl. If I praise you, it can make you more confident, who says you will not become a great person in the future.
?”
The girls' eyes lit up and their faces turned red. They also liked this story. Will they also become the best girls?
Zhou Juan raised her head and looked at Bai Banxia, feeling moved in her heart. She was cowardly and not good at anything. Even her family members praised her.
If the cousin at home was not a little younger, it would not be her turn to add makeup to Bai Banxia this time, but the cousin was jealous and deliberately tripped her when she went out, so the handkerchief got dirty. But she
I didn't prepare any other gifts, so I had to bite the bullet and come.
She felt that she was so useless. If she had put the handkerchief in her arms earlier, she would not have damaged it even if she dropped it.
Until now, after listening to Sister Banxia's praise of her, she finally understood the purpose of Sister Banxia's praise of her. She felt even more grateful in her heart. She also wanted to change for the better and really become a great person!
"The more we see the good in others, the more we praise others, the more we encourage others, it is goodwill towards others and also our own improvement." Bai Banxia smiled at everyone, "You are all good girls, but you are a bit more outspoken.
, you can think from a different perspective in the future, and everyone will become better."
Li Ningning looked ashamed, "Sister Banxia, I understand. I shouldn't feel that I should blame others just because they have some problems. I apologize to Zhou Juan."
After she finished speaking, she stepped forward and took Zhou Juan's hand, "Sister Zhou, I'm sorry, I won't be like this again, don't worry."
