Chapter 352 I Already Have a Child
Zhou Xiuying ignored the crying child and her first priority was to entertain Chu Yue. She patted the child's back and put him on the small cradle beside her, then went back behind the curtain to get clothes.
“Wow wow wow…”
The little baby had just drunk half of the milk and was not full. He was sobbing softly, with big wet tears in his eyes, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
Chu Yue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the little baby.
The little baby sobbed when he saw the stranger. After looking at Chu Yue for a few times, his crying gradually became softer. He stared at Chu Yue with wet eyes, looking well-behaved.
Chu Yue is quite popular with children. Children all like to look at good-looking people. Take a good look at her.
Zhou Xiuying quickly emerged from the back of the shop, holding a shirt wrapped in cloth. "Comrade, you said before that the pattern of the shirt must be kept secret. I've always remembered it, so I've kept it in the back after I finished it. Take a look at it. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, I can change it right away."
Zhou Xiuying opened the wrapped cloth, and Chu Yue saw the brand new shirt.
She picked it up and looked at the details, such as the neckline, shoulders, cuffs... These places are the most challenging for a seamstress's pride. It takes a lot of time to make the clothes fit well and comfortable to wear.
Zhou Xiuying's stitches were very neat. Chu Yue reached out and touched them. They were smooth and straight, without any rubbing on the skin.
Then there is the pattern, which is a one-to-one replica of the sample garment Chu Yue originally brought.
This level of sewing skills was far beyond Chu Yue's imagination. She could cooperate with Zhou Xiuying for a long time.
Seeing that Chu Yue had remained silent, Zhou Xiuying lowered her head slightly, looked at Chu Yue cautiously, and asked, "Comrade, how is it? Are you satisfied?"
She still remembered Chu Yue said the first batch was five pieces and the second batch was ten pieces!
Ten pieces. She didn’t want to miss such a big client, as it would provide a lot of meat for her family.
Chu Yue looked up and said, "My name is Chu Yue, big sister, you can just call me by my name."
"My name is Zhou Xiuying, so you...you should call me by my name too." Zhou Xiuying rubbed her hands nervously, "Sister Chu Yue, are you accepting this?"
"Well, Sister Xiuying, the shirts you made are very good. I accepted them all." Chu Yue noticed that there were a few more shirts and counted them and asked, "Why are there seven? Two more?"
Chu Yue initially ordered five pieces, and the fabrics and accessories provided were also for five pieces.
Zhou Xiuying explained, "You gave me quite a lot of fabric. I was careful to tighten it when I was cutting it, so I didn't waste too much. In the end, there was quite a bit of excess fabric left. I saw that you hadn't come to pick up your shirts, so I thought something must have delayed you. Since I had some free time, I used the extra fabric to make two more. I just couldn't buy the button you used, so I still have one left to sew on."
"Aren't you afraid that I won't come?" Chu Yue asked, "Will your efforts be in vain?"
"Don't be afraid, I know you will come." Zhou Xiuying looked at Chu Yue and smiled gratefully, "Last time you reminded me not to eat too many carrots when breastfeeding. After I listened to you, my baby immediately became whiter and looked much healthier. I can't thank you enough."
It was Chu Yue's kind reminder that planted a seed of kindness in Zhou Xiuying's heart.
Even when Chu Yue disappeared, Zhou Xiuying still saved money for Chu Yue and made two more finished products.
Chu Yue took out the new fabrics and accessories, and not only paid for seven shirts, but also paid in full for the remaining ten at once.
All in all, it was a full thirty yuan. (Five yuan for the balance, four yuan for the extra two pieces, twenty yuan for the new order, and one yuan for Chu Yue to keep Zhou Xiuying from having to pay.)
Zhou Xiuying had never seen so much money at once. Even her husband's monthly salary was not that much.
She hurriedly pulled Chu Yue and said, "No, you don't need to pay so much. Just like last time, pay half first, and pay the remaining half after it's done."
"It's okay. I trust you, Sister Xiuying. Just keep it safe." Chu Yue said, "I need a tight deadline this time. Can it be done in twenty days?"
"Yes, I definitely can." Zhou Xiuying nodded excitedly.
"Next time, I might not be the one to pick up the goods. A younger girl will come instead. You can just hand it over to her then."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Afterwards, Zhou Xiuying used the new buttons brought by Chu Yue to sew the two pieces of clothing that were missing buttons. It didn't take much time.
Chu Yue played with the little baby next to her for a while, and the little baby giggled because of Chu Yue.
Zhou Xiuying held the sewing thread in her hand, looked up at Chu Yue and the little baby, and said with emotion, "Sister Chu Yue, you are so beautiful. When you have a child, it will definitely be a beautiful baby."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "I already have a child."
It'll scare you to death if I tell you this, you're only seven years old.
Zhou Xiuying was shocked, but her hands never stopped moving and she quickly sewed all the buttons.
Chu Yue picked up the finished shirt and rode her bike back to the grocery store.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw Chen Fengying and Xia Xiaolan standing at the door of the store, looking across the street with great interest.
Chu Yue smelled the smell of gunpowder from burning firecrackers in the air and saw a piece of red debris on the ground.
She walked in and asked, "A new store opening?"
Chen Fengying and Xia Xiaolan only then saw Chu Yue coming back. They waved warmly, "Sister Chu, you're here. Yes, the new store has opened. You came late and didn't see the excitement. They just set off a long string of firecrackers. It was really lively."
Xia Xiaolan smiled and said, "It's quite scary."
When the firecrackers exploded, the whole street was filled with crackling sounds.
Chu Yue first put the things on the counter, then walked out and stood beside the two of them, watching the excitement across the street together.
Chen Fengying hooked her arm around Chu Yue's and said, "Xiaolan just told me that blue, white, and red thing that spins around is a sign that says it's a hair salon. You said it's a hair salon, so why is there the word 'beauty' in it, and why is it so fancy? Does anyone really go in there?"
"Yes, it's very fashionable in big cities. Many young girls like to go there."
Xia Xiaolan had said the same words once before, but Chen Fengying didn't believe it and insisted that Chu Yue say it again before she would believe it.
"Does it perm young girls' hair, like the Xiu Li shop in our compound?" Chen Fengying had never seen such a shop before and was filled with curiosity. "If all the young girls like to go there, wouldn't it be very profitable?"
“If you have good skills, you can make a lot of money.”
Chu Yue nodded.
She had noticed the light box of the hair salon opposite a few months ago and determined that it was an industry with unlimited potential in the future. However, she did not expect that the decoration across the street had taken so long and it was only now opening.
After the initial excitement, the crowd on the street dispersed. Chu Yue took a look into the barber shop and saw a young woman wearing a fashionable floral shirt suit and with small wool curls standing in the middle of the shop. It seemed that she was the owner.
She's also a female boss.
