As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.
She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...
"No need."
Peng Shiyu gently shook her head.
For some reason, hearing his words made me feel a little uncomfortable.
After thinking it over carefully and finding no problem, he asked, "Tian Zhiqing, please speak frankly about what's on your mind."
That's right.
Tian Danxiong said with a smile, "I am also preparing to apply to build my own house. I heard that you can draw all kinds of design drafts, Peng Zhiqing. I would like to ask you to draw a layout plan of the new courtyard for me."
Don't worry, I won't let you waste your time. I can pay you for the manuscript. Please ask Peng Zhiqing for a favor.
"Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?"
Peng Shiyu looked somewhat puzzled. "I can only draw clothing designs. I've never drawn house designs before. Tian Zhiqing, you've really come to the wrong person. Why don't you ask someone else?"
"I see."
Tian Danxiong gave an embarrassed smile. "I'm sorry, it seems I was too forward with Peng Zhiqing. Please forgive me."
"Tian Zhiqing, you don't need to be so polite."
Peng Shiyu waved her hand, "I can't help you, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Peng Zhiqing's words made me feel ashamed."
Tian Danxiong's smile deepened. "I've also heard that Peng Zhiqing has skillful hands and makes exquisite clothes. I wonder if we could ask Peng Zhiqing to make us a few sets of clothes?"
"Is Tian Zhiqing going to make clothes?"
Peng Shiyu was surprised to hear his request. "Didn't you just arrive at the educated youth compound? Why do you need new clothes now?"
That's right.
Tian Danxiong explained to her with a smile, "I only brought winter clothes, which I can wear for another month or two at most before changing to spring and summer clothes. I didn't bring clothes for other seasons."
I originally planned to buy them from the supply and marketing cooperative, but now that I know you make very good clothes, Peng Shiyu, I thought I'd ask you to make a few sets for me.
"no problem."
Peng Shiyu agreed, "But let me tell you first, I need to rush to make other clothes before the New Year, so I won't be able to make your clothes for the time being."
But I promise you, I'll make you some clothes as soon as possible after the New Year, okay?
"Yes, yes."
Tian Danxiong smiled and thanked him, "Then I'll thank Peng Zhiqing first, thank you for taking care of me first."
"Tian Zhiqing, you don't need to be so polite."
Peng Shiyu smiled and made a point of reminding her, "I'm doing business here, so let me be upfront: the prices for the clothes I make will be a bit higher than what the supply and marketing cooperative sells. I wonder if Tian Zhiqing can accept that."
"Of course."
Tian Danxiong smiled confidently, "Peng Zhiqing, please rest assured, although my family is not wealthy, we can still afford to make a few sets of clothes."
"Please excuse my rudeness, Tian Zhiqing."
Peng Shiyu then asked, "Would it be convenient for Tian Zhiqing to keep your measurements?"
Tian Danxiong chuckled and asked, "Weren't you the one who came to measure it?"
"inconvenient."
Peng Shiyu immediately suppressed her smile, "If Tian Zhiqing doesn't know her body measurements, please go back and ask someone to measure her, write it down, and send it to me later."
"I understand. I understand."
Tian Danxiong dared not probe any further. "I was just joking earlier. Please don't take offense, Peng Zhiqing. I'll definitely bring it to you later."
"Alright then."
Peng Shiyu glanced at him and said, "If Tian Zhiqing has nothing else to do, I'll go back and get back to work. Please go ahead."
"Alright, then I won't bother Peng Zhiqing any longer."
Tian Danxiong once again showed a humble and kind smile.
He took the initiative to turn around and leave first.
"Let's go in."
Peng Shiyu told the people around her to return.
Liu Xiuying couldn't help but say, "Shiyu, this Tian educated youth seems really nice. He speaks so politely and gently, and he always has a smile on his face."
"That should be it."
Peng Shiyu paused for a moment, then said, "But I always feel that he's overdoing it. His politeness and courtesy seem very deliberate."
"Really?"
Liu Xiuying looked puzzled. "Why don't I think so? I think he's a good person, and seems to have excellent manners."
"Everyone's feelings are different."
Peng Shiyu smiled and didn't bring up the topic again. "Take a look at my draft later and see if you can understand the design I drew..."
...
The days go by.
It's almost the end of the lunar year.
The finishing touches on Grandpa Zhang's house are almost complete.
It's just the right time to move in for the Chinese New Year.
"I'm going to the county town tomorrow."
To the crowd in front of Lin Jingyu, "If you want to go, sign up."
"Sis, I'll go."
"Cousin, I want to go too."
The two boys would never miss an opportunity to play.
"Whatever you want."
Lin Jingyu was too lazy to refuse.
These two guys frequent the county town and are now more familiar with it than I am, so I'm not worried about their safety.
"I'm going to deliver some clothes to Sister-in-law Lu."
Peng Shiyu said, "The New Year is just around the corner, we can't keep delaying the payment any longer."
"OK."
Lin Jingyu nodded and looked at Yang Shujue, "What about you? Are you going this time?"
"Go ahead, why not?"
Yang Shujue replied, "Qiuyue is going too, she's going to buy New Year's goods."
"Alright, let's all go together."
Lin Jingyu then instructed the two boys, "Wenxi, little brother, you two need to help me carry things to the county town. Don't run around on your own, understand?"
"good."
"no problem."
The two cousins obediently followed the instructions.
the next day.
The large group from the backyard left in a grand procession, immediately alerting many people in the front yard.
Many people followed suit.
