Chapter 198 A Father's Thread in His Hand, A Little Fatty's Clothes on His Shoulder. ...

After learning that his wife's textile factory was producing down jackets, Li Jianzhi volunteered to make a full winter down suit for her.

"It's just operating a sewing machine, it's just playing with needles and thread, right? I'll learn!"

Li Jianzhi, a person born with the genes of a "king of rolls," would never be defeated by small difficulties. On the contrary, he felt that he should set a good example and take the initiative to influence his wife and children.

If you're a man, you can't give up so easily!

"Think about it, I'll make you a down vest by hand."

Qin Xiangxiang: "..."

She felt like she'd punched a pillow; the man had actually taken it seriously and was treating sewing with the same dedication he'd shown in tactical research in the military.

But the vests he makes are probably just like the dishes Little Fatty cooks—hard to swallow.

"Think about it, I'll make the inner liner first, and you can bring some duck feathers back tomorrow."

Li Jianzhi acted immediately, measuring the fabric with calipers and drawing lines on it using the pencil and set square he usually used for drawing blueprints.

The sewing needle in his hand was like a steel needle, making people feel uneasy and frightened.

Qin Xiangxiang watched his every move with "silence," as if time had turned back to four years ago, when Li Jianzhi had just returned to Shanghai and said he wanted to kill fish and make crucian carp soup.

Li Jianzhi: "I'll make you a diamond-patterned down vest, down earmuffs, knee pads, and a hat to keep you warm in all aspects."

“Little Fatty, come over to Daddy and learn a skill. It will make it easier for you to find a wife in the future. If you learn a skill well, you can make clothes for your future wife. She will probably be so touched.”

Little Fatty: "Dad, do I want to learn too?"

"Of course, self-reliance leads to abundance."

"If you learn these things, you'll have a head start."

"Come on, son, with Dad here, you definitely won't get cold this winter!" Li Jianzhi thought to himself that he was such a good father. He said earnestly, "Dad will sew your clothes by hand, mend your pants, patch your crotch and armpits, and even mend your injured knees. 'A loving father's thread in his hand, clothes on his chubby little body, sewing them tightly in the cold, fearing his son's hands will get cold. Who says winter is cold? My son's down jacket is warm!"

The chubby boy blushed slightly and fell silent for a moment: "Where's my sister?"

Li Jianzhi: "We are a family of four. My father and I are on one side, and the mother and daughter are on the other side. Of course, it is the mother who mends Sui Sui's clothes."

Commander Li was too embarrassed to ruin his daughter's clothes.

Qin Xiangxiang heard the dead man recite this "good poem" right now, which was comparable to Zhuang Xiaoman's "Ode to the Pig". Li Jianzhi thought this was a bit more elegant, but it was still very damaging to the ears!

Comrade Xiao Qin was worried. Had she shot herself in the foot? Was Li Jianzhi making clothes for Xiao Pang? Was Li Jianzhi mending Xiao Pang's pants (-) crotch? Was Li Jianzhi personally teaching Xiao Pang how to mend clothes?

This is absolutely irritating to her eyes.

Qin Xiangxiang had a lot to say, but she could only complain to Zhong Li next door, "I told him to learn sewing, and he actually did! He even said that as the husband of the textile factory manager, how could he not know how to operate a sewing machine?"

"Ha, I'm really impressed by him. Just how confident does he really have?"

"He's so confident, why doesn't he share some with me?"

Zhong Li laughed and said, "Xiao Qin, this is a happy problem for you. Look at Commander Li's demeanor, how much he dotes on his wife and children. Just the fact that he's willing to make clothes for his son and mend his pants makes him better than other men!"

Even if the clothes he makes don't turn out well, you should encourage him more and not discourage him.

"If a man makes clothes for you by hand, don't take it for granted!"

Qin Xiangxiang was extremely worried. She wondered in her heart how to punish this guy.

This guy forced her to study math, physics, and chemistry, so she also studied math, physics, and chemistry at home, making him shoot himself in the foot.

"Xiao Qin, are those down jackets of yours really any good?"

"It's very warm."

"Then I'd like to make some for the children too."

Qin Xiangxiang said, "That would require a lot of duck down to process. If you want to do it, go and collect some duck feathers and send them to our factory. We'll process them for you, and you can fill them yourself with the processed duck down."

“Okay!” Zhong Li immediately agreed. Of course, she knew she couldn’t just ask someone to give her a down jacket for free. She collected the duck feathers, had the factory process them, and then made the down jackets herself, which would save her money.

Qin Xiangxiang suggested, "Why don't you have your husband, Lao Yang, make you a down vest by hand?"

Without hesitation, Zhong Li replied, "...He dares to do it, but I wouldn't dare to wear it."

Qin Xiangxiang shouted, "So now you understand my suffering?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two people came up from the corner of the stairs. It was He Xiuxiu from the third floor and another woman who looked quite familiar. When Qin Xiangxiang saw the woman's face, she was shocked.

It's Lin Xiuqin!

Qin Xiangxiang blurted out, "Lin Xiuqin?!?"

Lin Xiuqin is on the island again? She was there when the factory was recruiting before, and she's here again now. She's even hanging out with He Xiuxiu from the third floor. Why is Lin Xiuqin everywhere?

When Lin Xiuqin heard Qin Xiangxiang call her name, she wasn't surprised. She had met Qin Xiangxiang before when she became friends with Zhao Yangyang, and had even been splashed with chicken blood... The past was too painful to recall.

Later, they encountered Gao Rong, who loved to take advantage of others, Xiao Ye, an eccentric woman, and Zhao Qiaoqiao, who loved to show off.

Lin Xiuqin said sincerely, "Director Qin, it's so difficult to see you!"

I've heard your name from many people.

Qin Xiangxiang: "You also left a deep impression."

Zhong Li said, "So you all know each other? He Xiuxiu, is this your friend?"

He Xiuxiu: "We are the same workers in the factory."

"Oh, no wonder."

After some polite small talk, Lin Xiuqin couldn't help but ask, "What were you talking about just now? What's bothering you?"

Her tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement, as if Qin Xiangxiang were complaining?

Zhong Li laughed and said, "We're talking about this Xiao Qin. She doesn't know how lucky she is. Her husband makes clothes for her by hand, and she still complains and says she's suffering. Look at how pretentious she is."

Qin Xiangxiang: "Why won't you agree to let your husband, Lao Yang, make it for you?"

"Our Lao Yang isn't as good as your Comrade Li."

He Xiuxiu was stunned: "Aren't you the factory manager of the textile factory? You still have your husband making clothes for you? In my family, I never let him do these kinds of work."

Qin Xiangxiang remained silent: "..." My deadbeat husband is the only oddball; he's really stubborn.

Lin Xiuqin: "Director Qin, is your husband really that good? He even makes clothes by hand?"

"It's alright, he's mending his son's pants (crotch)..." Qin Xiangxiang laughed as she spoke, recalling the limerick he had been reciting.

Lin Xiuqin's smile froze. Judging from Qin Xiangxiang's behavior, the couple seemed to have a good relationship.

Lin Xiuqin feigned innocence and said, "Director Qin, a strong woman like you is so lucky to have such a capable husband!"

"You are my idol, the person I admire."

Qin Xiangxiang: "Huh?!"

Lin Hsiu-chin: "You are the most ambitious woman I have ever met. We women should learn from you. Women hold up half the sky!"

Lin Xiuqin's plan at this moment was to flatter Qin Xiangxiang, make her feel smug and complacent.

Once a person becomes complacent, they inevitably become arrogant and overconfident, which will lead to a fall from a great height.

"Oh, it's getting late, I need to go home and collect my laundry. Sister Zhong Li, let's chat again next time." Qin Xiangxiang quickly slipped away.

What ambition? This Lin Xiuqin is truly a terrifying woman.

Qin Xiangxiang's impolite turn back left Lin Xiuqin somewhat bewildered. Had she done something wrong in her flattery?

Turning to look at He Xiuxiu again, Lin Xiuqin noticed that He Xiuxiu's expression was not good. Lin Xiuqin thought to herself: Oh no, she actually praised Qin Xiangxiang in front of He Xiuxiu.

He Xiuxiu actually regretted choosing Hongxing Textile Factory. Now she was going down a dark path and was exhausted from taking the boat back and forth every week. She was holding her breath and felt very resentful.

If you can't have something, you want to trample it under your feet and say you don't care about it.

He Xiuxiu really wanted Hongxing Textile Factory to surpass Feiyan Textile Factory, so that she could prove that her initial decision was not wrong.

And she also wanted to become an even better textile factory manager than Qin Xiangxiang.

Lin Xiuqin praising Qin Xiangxiang in front of her was undoubtedly a slap in the face to He Xiuxiu.

Realizing this, Lin Xiuqin immediately said to He Xiuxiu, "I was just saying some polite words to her. Qin Xiangxiang looks so delicate, she doesn't have your kind of ability."

"He Xiuxiu, you are the one I have strived for and longed for in my entire life."

Hearing her say this, He Xiuxiu's expression softened, and she couldn't help but feel a little smug.

The two went up to the third floor. He Xiuxiu lived in the corner apartment on the third floor, while Chen Ruifeng and Zhao Yangyang lived in the middle apartment.

Lin Xiuqin was a little stunned when she bumped into Chen Ruifeng, but Chen Ruifeng didn't even glance at her. He threw away the honeycomb briquettes and went back into the house.

When Qin Xiangxiang returned home, she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis as she looked at the father and son who were still fiddling with needle and thread.

Is Lin Xiuqin still haunting us? Is she destined to have a relationship with Chen Ruifeng? Is it the kind of fate that can't be severed?

In other words, if this guy in front of me is injured in that area, he might not be able to escape.

Shouldn't we be prepared for danger even in times of peace?

Use it as much as you can while it's still working.
