Chapter 70 Killing Two Birds with One Fish

Wang Nan is ready to go, feeling like she is about to reach the peak of her life.

She asked excitedly, "Is that it?"

"alright."

"Then I cut it."

"Stop talking nonsense and cut it."

Then she took the scissors and started cutting.

Bai Chen and the others were on the side giving instructions, "Cut along the line, don't cut it crooked."

"No, I have steady hands."

Wang Nan's hands were really steady. Even though she was multitasking, there were no mistakes during the cutting process.

Whatever lines you draw, that's what you'll get when you cut.

Because the fabric is small, it only takes a few cuts of the scissors to finish it.

Then, she sorted the cut fabrics and took the fabric marked number 1 to start the cutting process.

She made a flip-up shirt, which Yi Chichi taught her, with a small round collar and short sleeves.

The neckline and sleeves need to be done separately.

So put it last.

Yi Chichi didn't need to worry about the sewing process, so, as requested by Ge Sujuan and the others, she sewed while watching them draw the patterns.

Compared to Wang Nan's success, the performances of the remaining few were worse than each other.

Even though we taught them step by step, they still had questions.

Especially Ge Sujuan, she is a top-notch expert in making shoes, but she has no talent at all in making clothes.

Yi Chichi helped her draw the patterns and cut the pieces, and she could always find any problems as long as she was sewing.

The final product had sleeves that were longer on one side and shorter on the other, the front was not aligned, and one sleeve was sewed to the collar.

Yi Chichi was quite desperate, "Juanzi, I don't think you are suitable for making clothes."

Fortunately, she was not a tailor, otherwise she would have been beaten to death by the customers.

The family worked hard to save some cloth to make new clothes, but in the end they spent the money and couldn't wear the clothes.

It would be strange if the blood pressure didn't rise or explode.

She looked embarrassed. "I clearly sewed according to the seam, how come it turned out like this?"

Who knows?

God knows what happened to her hands.

It's like it has self-awareness and likes to go against the brain. Even though it should go this way, it insists on going that way with the needle and thread.

In short, Yi Chichi is no longer able to complain.

Bai Chen and the others hid their works out of guilt and didn't dare to show them to her.

Yi Chichi didn't think so. Having been hurt once, she was not afraid of being hurt a few more times.

"Show me yours."

"Can you not watch it?"

Very good, this means I can’t meet people.

"Will you continue to study in the future?"

this……

The few people who couldn't make up their minds looked at each other, and after a glance, they all shook their heads.

"No, we don't have the talent to make clothes."

Don't delay Yi Chichi from making clothes for people. Although everyone has a pair of hands, some people's hands are different and so flexible that people envy them.

Some people's hands, like theirs, make clothes as if they are not their own.

It feels like I have a pair of fake hands.

Yi Chichi didn't know what they were thinking, but she could more or less guess from their expressions that they were all quite embarrassed and ashamed.

I was overjoyed at that moment, finally feeling relieved.

He didn't forget to comfort her insincerely, "Everyone has their own specialties. You are just not suitable for making clothes, just like I am not suitable for farming."

"But it doesn't matter, there will always be work suitable for you."

"So, don't fight with making clothes."

Bai Chen and the others,... I always feel that the last part is the key point.

Implicit in their words was their disdain for their clumsy hands, but they were not wrong, they were really clumsy when it came to making clothes.

With a sigh, Bai Chen made a promise on behalf of everyone.

"I won't learn if I don't do it anymore!"

The tone is very melancholy.

Wang Nan said happily, "It doesn't matter. You are not suitable for making clothes, but I am. When I learn it, you can come to me and Chi Chi if you need it in the future."

Zhou Qiuyu's eyes suddenly widened, and she said, "Chi Chi taught you how to make clothes, but you are trying to steal her business. That's too much, Lanzi."

Yi Chichi, "???"

Wang Nan, “…”

Bai Chen and the others, "!!!"

It seems to be true.

As soon as this thought came to mind, before Yi Chichi and the others had a chance to say anything, Wang Nan started to defend himself loudly with an angry look on his face.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I didn't, I didn't. Listen to me, I really didn't have that idea."

She said with a sad face, "I just said it casually. I really didn't mean to steal business from Chi Chi."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Yi Chichi quickly comforted her, "I know, I know, please stop explaining."

The more I explain, the worse it gets.

"Also, let me remind you that private business is not allowed now. I am not doing business either. I am just helping out."

Worried that they didn't understand what she said, she emphasized, "I helped, and Bai Chen and the others let me buy some candy to thank me, understand?"

"Understand!"

Everyone was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, nodding their heads hurriedly.

Bai Chen and Qi Yang were worried that there might be ears on the other side of the wall, so they ran out for a walk, then ran back angrily, and weakly reminded, "Be careful with what you say next time."

You have to pay attention to it.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere became a bit depressing.

Everyone lost the mood to chat and just lowered their heads and worked silently.

until--

"What's for dinner?"

"Cook the bighead carp that's frozen in the yard."

Because of teaching Liu Lan embroidery, Liu Lan's father Liu Zhongwei specially gave her a bighead carp weighing three or four kilograms, which she has not eaten yet.

"One fish, two ways of making soup. Can you give me your opinion, old witch?"

She looked at Wu Yongfei. Wu Yongfei, who was given high hopes, looked at her with dead eyes and asked, "How to do it?"

Yi Chichi quickly told him the method.

Wu Yongfei quickly wrote it down, wondering why she had so many different ways to eat.

Last time it was boiled fish and pickled fish, this time he wants to have one fish in two ways. I feel that if he continues like this, he will be able to empty Yi Chichi’s recipe book.

When she finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I'm going to cook. Someone come and help me light the fire."

“I’ll go!”

No one wants to compete for cooking, but squatting at the stove and making fire is a popular job.

No other reason, it's warm! After a fierce verbal battle, Zhou Yadong won the first place and got the job of making fire.

He got off the kang and onto the floor. He pretended to straighten the black sleeves of his clothes, held his head high and said proudly, "Everyone, I'm going to light the fire. You guys, take a rest and wait for dinner."

Having said that, he walked away without caring about his relatives.

Yi Chichi and the others were stunned. Is there something wrong with Lao Zhou's brain?

"Don't let him light the fire next time."

Qi Yang was indignant, and Yi Chichi felt that it might be difficult.

I always feel that Lao Zhou is going to live in love with the stove hole for a whole winter.

The facts were exactly as she thought. In the following days, Zhou Yadong was always the first to rush to occupy the stove hole to make fire.

Time flies and it is January 1971, just a few days away from Laba Festival.

As the saying goes, the New Year comes after Laba Festival. At this time, the door of the Youth League Home, which had been silent for a long time, was knocked on.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Bai Zhiqing. Come out and open the door!"
