Chapter 168 Making a Wedding Dress

It was a bit cold in the early morning of October. He Yuxiang was a child, and he was full of energy. He was not afraid of the slight chill. He got up early in the morning wearing a short-sleeved shirt, which made Zhang's mother worried: "It's cold in the morning and evening now, do you need to wear a long-sleeved shirt or a thin coat?"

"No, I'm not cold." He Yuxiang refused and went back to work in the backyard.

Zhang's mother was an old hand at farm work, so she hurried over to help: "You have a good place, and there's a small area for growing vegetables."

"It's pretty good." He Yuxiang took the opportunity to ask her how to grow vegetables better.

Zhang's mother naturally told him everything she knew. Seeing him finish his work in the backyard and then prepare dinner, she also came to help.

Not seeing the child's aunt get up, she looked cautiously into Chen Qing's room.

He Yuxiang saw it and said, "My aunt is responsible for making money to support us and it's very hard. She is not very old, so I will do more housework that I can do, so that I won't seem redundant."

Mother Zhang heard from her daughter last night about the situation of Chen Qing's family.

The two children are left without a father or a mother. Their only relative now is Chen Qing, and they have to rely on her for survival.

But hearing a child calmly speaking of the cruel reality, Zhang's mother still couldn't help but feel distressed: "You are right. I think your aunt is a good person. You are young, so don't worry too much."

"Yeah. I know."

He Yuxiang is very satisfied with his current life.

He scooped out a bowl of noodles from the cupboard and asked Zhang's mother: "Do you know how to make noodles? I don't know how."

"I'll teach you how to make noodles." Zhang's mother started to teach He Yuxiang.

He Yuxiang took some more flour and studied seriously.

Zhang's mother said, "What you gave me is enough for your family of three."

"You two will also want to eat later." He Yuxiang prepared the noodles despite Zhang's mother's refusal.

There was hot noodles in the courtyard, which was rare. Chen Qing took a sip and felt like he was alive again.

Zhang's mother had to catch the earliest bus back to the village to do farm work, so she had to leave first.

Chen Qing quickly put down his chopsticks, sent them out, and then went home to continue eating noodles slowly. After eating, he went to work at the machinery factory leisurely.

As soon as he arrived at the machinery factory, Chen Qing handed his application to join the party to Director Liu.

Director Liu carefully checked it and found no mistakes. He was quite impressed with her ability and said, "Then I will pass it on to the party organization for you."

"good."

Chen Qing returned to the office.

Tian Mengya came over quickly and said, "Team Leader Chen, breaking news."

Chen Qing: "Tell me about it."

She sat at her ease.

Other people in the office also pricked up their ears, because Tian Mengya lived in a small Western-style building and her father held a high position, so it was easy for him to get first-hand information from the factory, and everyone really liked to listen to her gossip.

Tian Mengya: "Do you remember the announcer I told you about?"

Chen Qing was surprised: "Have you chosen the personnel so quickly?"

Tian Mengya slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, guess who it is!"

"who?"

"I asked you to guess."

“I don’t know many people.”

"But you must know this person!"

"I know him?" Chen Qing went through the people she knew in her mind: "Wang Meihua?"

"How is that possible? She doesn't have that kind of connections. It's Su Manman!"

"Su Manman?" Chen Qing was shocked: "Isn't she from the art troupe? Why would she lower her status?"

The assessment of the art troupe is very strict. Even if Chen Qing thinks Su Manman's brain circuits are magical, it does not hinder Su Manman's performance on stage and it is still quite good.

Anyway, it was much better than the idol performances she had seen at fashion parties.

Su Manman's dancing, voice and facial expression management are attractive, if not unique.

The broadcasting studio does not have as strict an audit as the art troupe. To put it bluntly, as long as you can speak Mandarin, you can get in.

"Don't tell me she did it because of He Yuan."

"Yes and no. The main reason is that she insisted on staying in the performance city without permission, which was not in compliance with the group's regulations. She would be demoted if she returned. Su Manman simply went all out and used her family's connections to transfer her to the broadcasting room of our machinery factory." Tian Mengya stroked her chin and said, "My dad said that Yang Xiujin was also involved in this matter."

"so?"

"So I think she will target you!" Tian Mengya said seriously.

Chen Qing twirled the pen in his hand.

But she had never settled the score with Su Manman before.

But often what you say comes true.

Su Manman came up to Chen Qing in a threatening manner.

Chen Qing raised her eyes, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at her leisurely: "Comrade Su, what can I do for you? Are you here to add more work for me?"

"Come out, I have something to tell you." Su Manman folded her arms and looked down at her.

Chen Qing smiled: "Abandoning your post without permission will result in deduction of points. If Comrade Su wants to deduct points on his first day at the machinery factory, I don't mind."

"The broadcasting room is not under your office's jurisdiction!"

"I can apply. They won't mind." Chen Qing sat there, still smiling: "Be respectful to the leaders."

Su Manman's face flushed: "You are bullying others by taking advantage of your power."

"Comrade Su is not good at academic subjects. I am doing my duty and being friendly to my colleagues." Chen Qing's smile faded. "If you don't disappear from my sight within three seconds, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

"you!!!"

Su Manman was so angry that she burst into tears.

He covered his face and ran out.

Tian Mengya clicked her tongue: “Your reputation for evil will be even higher.”

Chen Qing stretched lazily: "I can't help it. Who told me to love the machinery factory so much and abide by its rules so much?"

Everyone in the office was silent.

Tian Mengya simply skipped Su Manman's topic and lowered her voice to say to her: "My cousin said that she wanted to ask if you would like to accept her wedding dress order. As for choosing defective fabrics, you don't have to give anything. If you don't want to, it's okay. You can go and choose. She really wants to meet you."

Chen Qing blinked: "Wedding dress? Know me?"

Who is she?

It is worth giving people a chance to select defective cloth!

Tian Mengya glared at her and said, "It's true that many people hate you, but there are also many people who like you. It's because you always come up with something and spread it widely. My cousin is a straightforward person and she likes your straightforward personality."

Chen Qing was shocked.

I'm also flattered.

"Thank you for your love, cousin. Please tell me more about the wedding dress."

"She wanted a wedding dress that was ostentatious but in accordance with the rules, beautiful, and preferably disposable."

"One-time."

In the 1970s, wedding dresses were actually worn many times by many relatives in turn, and everyone pursued something that was sturdy and durable.

Tian Mengya scratched her head: "My cousin has a stepsister who coveted her wedding dress and was willing to change the wedding date to after my cousin. My cousin was very disgusted and would rather waste it than let her wear it."

For Chen Qing, making disposable clothes is not difficult, as many clothes are more ornamental than practical. But this was the 1970s, and making disposable clothes was too extravagant and would get him scolded to death!

"I'll think about it."
