Lin Chuchu came closer and saw her mother embroidering flowers on the clothes.

"Mom, you did a really good job."

Lin Chuchu suddenly took out a pen and paper and started scribbling. Soon, a design sketch of a garment was drawn.

"Mom, do you know how to make this dress?"

Lin Chuchu drew a Peter Pan collar shirt with a cinched waist and colorful buttons.

Mom smiled and took it, glancing at it casually. "It's so pretty. Mom can make it. I'll give it to you when it's done."

"Mom, you can use a sewing machine to make it. It's faster. I'll have Mu Chen bring the sewing machine over in a bit."

The sewing machine just sat in her house collecting dust; the two of them were both in school and had no time to make anything.

Today was his day off, and Mu Chen had nothing to do, so he went straight home and brought the sewing machine over. He even conscripted Liu Rong into the household.

Liu Rong was asked to stay for dinner.

Lin Chuchu then taught her mother and grandmother how to use a sewing machine.

Grandma looked at the even stitches on the fabric and said, "These women working in electronics factories these days are really skilled; they sew much better than we did by hand."

A garment was quickly made, with every edge wrapped up. The clothes sold outside were all of good workmanship and quality.

Lin Chuchu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Mom, have you ever considered making clothes to sell? It's not for making money, just to pass the time. The government isn't so strict now, and you're retired, so you have plenty of time. With a sewing machine, you won't be so tired."

The mother hesitated and asked, "Will it work? Won't the authorities investigate?"

"No, look at Sister Wang's family on the next street. They make shoes to supplement their income, and they haven't been investigated for so long."

Besides, Dad has a job and is an official, so who would be so foolish as to go against the Mu family?

Seeing her hesitation, Lin Chuchu continued.

"Mom, I'll draw the design drafts for you. I can also draw cheongsams, so you can make cheongsams for people too."

Lin Chuchu simply felt that a woman should have her own career, otherwise she would be useless.

Besides, she said that if her mother-in-law has nothing to do, she will find fault with her daughter-in-law. For the sake of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she should also support her mother in making clothes.

My family didn't object; as long as it's not too tiring, finding something to do is fine.

In one afternoon, Lin Chuchu drew many drafts, including clothes, pants, skirts, shoes, etc.

She discovered another function of the space: it could actually be used to refine design drafts.

For example, the space can list out the colors and patterns in the finished drawings, or where things are not suitable.

The three women were chattering away, discussing something.

Mu Chen also noticed that his mother's brows, which had been furrowed recently, had relaxed.

He was full of energy.

It was as if her mother had suddenly gained superhuman abilities; based on the draft Lin Chuchu had provided, she could even draw inferences and produce several more beautiful drawings.

Mom slammed her hand on the table. “Okay, I’ll do it. I heard your dad say that in two years the policy will be relaxed and individual businesses will be allowed. We can open a clothing store then.”

Lin Chuchu smiled and nodded. During the reform and opening up, many people earned their first money, and they couldn't fall behind.

Having made up her mind, Lin Chuchu would draw design drafts whenever she had time, drawing all the clothes she had seen in her previous life, even if they were not suitable now, she could still collect them.
