Chapter 388 Do you want to be a teacher?
"Friends feel embarrassed and will give a few anyway!"
Xia Liang smiled and didn't say how much a piece of clothing cost. She was afraid that these people would become jealous after hearing it.
These days, life is hard for everyone. If people knew that Xia Liang could earn thirty or forty yuan a day, he would have been reported countless times!
"That's not bad. It's not like me, who can't earn a penny sitting at home all day!"
Mrs. Liu looked envious, "Sister Xia Liang, is it easy to learn how to make clothes? I also want to learn it. I don't ask for much. I will be very happy if I can earn ten or eight yuan for my family a month!"
Hearing this, Xia Liang's eyes moved.
She has a lot of clothing-making work to do now. She usually cuts and makes the clothes at home during the day, and Ning Zhiyuan comes back in the evening to help her iron them.
Ning Zhiyuan was very tired after being out all day, and he still had to be busy most of the night. Xia Liang still felt very sorry for him.
If I can find someone to help me, it doesn't seem impossible!
It's just that this Mrs. Liu... Xia Liang thought about the few times he had been with her in the past. This person is too utilitarian, and Xia Liang doesn't want to make close friends with such a person.
Forget it. Even if she wants to find someone to help, she has to find someone reliable!
"Sister Xia Liang, you are really amazing. You are never idle wherever you go!" Mrs. Liu felt a little disappointed when she saw Xia Liang didn't respond. She thought Xia Liang would ask her to come over and learn from her. After she learned it, she could convince her man to buy her a sewing machine!
Of course, the prerequisite is that you can really make money from this, at least you can quickly earn back the money you spent on the sewing machine!
"I was born to be a hard worker. If you let me stay at home and do nothing, I won't be used to it!" Xia Liang smiled.
Mrs. Liu said hurriedly, "By the way, Sister Xia Liang, do you know that our school is about to start?"
Xia Liang shook her head. After coming here, she was very busy every day and was not very familiar with the military wives here. She had never heard of this matter.
However, she remembered that in her previous life, after the college entrance examination was resumed, all schools started to open.
Education has recovered very quickly in preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school. The authorities are still very strict about education.
"The school here has also been reopened. I heard that they are recruiting teachers recently. Sister Xia Liang, what diploma did you have before? Do you want to try? I heard that elementary school teachers can get about 20 yuan every month."
Teacher? Xia Liang raised his eyebrows, "No need, I won't be here for long, I might leave someday, so I won't join in the fun!"
"Besides, being a teacher is a popular job. I believe there should be a lot of military wives who sign up, right?"
Mrs. Liu nodded and said with a look of regret, "It's a pity that I didn't even finish elementary school. If I could finish high school, I could try it out and maybe I would be accepted."
The academic requirements for teachers are not high now, but they will be standardized in the future.
But twenty bucks is a big temptation for an ordinary woman.
Besides, being a teacher in a school is also a very respectable job. I guess many people are vying for it!
"By the way, Miss Xia Liang, what is your educational background? Did you go to high school?"
Aunt Liu was still very curious.
Thinking that he would be leaving soon, Xia Liang decided not to hide it anymore: "I went to high school. I was an educated youth sent to the countryside. Not long ago, I took the college entrance examination."
When she heard that Xia Liang had taken the college entrance examination, Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up even more: "Wow, sister Xia Liang, you took the college entrance examination? How did you do? Are you sure you can pass it?"
Xia Liang didn't say much about this, "Who can say for sure about this matter? Anyway, the test is over, there is no point worrying about it. I can just wait here with peace of mind. The results should be out in less than two months!"
Mrs. Liu still looked envious: "Then you may also be able to get into university! But..."
Sister Liu frowned, "Xia Liang, I have something to say to you from the bottom of my heart. If you are admitted to a university, you should choose a place near us. You also know the situation of your Ning Zhiyuan. There is a woman named Meng Xiaoxiao who is watching him closely. If you don't keep an eye on him, Ning Zhiyuan is so good. If he is seduced by another woman, you will cry!"
Hearing this, Xia Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In fact, she also wanted to choose a school here so that she could be closer to her man, but her man was not happy about it!
Of course she has to listen to her man. Going to Beijing is actually a good idea!
"We'll talk about it later. It's still uncertain whether I can pass the exam. Mrs. Liu, have you finished cutting the fabric? If you have, I'll help you make the clothes!"
Mrs. Liu hurriedly took out her own cloth and said, "I have already cut it. I originally wanted to make it for her by hand, but it is too much trouble. Hello, sister Xia Liang, I am really sorry to trouble you!"
Xia Liang chuckled: "It's nothing, it's only natural for neighbors to help each other!"
Xia Liang spread out the cut cloth, took a glance at it, and then he had an idea.
She took the cloth and walked to the sewing machine. Mrs. Liu followed her and looked at the sewing machine with burning eyes.
She had seen this thing before, but never from such a close distance.
It’s really beautiful. I wish she had one at home.
Xia Liang had already sat down. The sound of banging could be heard. The cloth moved quickly in Xia Liang's hands. In a short while, a coat was ready.
Xia Liang handed the clothes to Mrs. Liu, "Take a look and see if there's anything wrong with it. I'll make the pants first!"
The banging sounds came from the other side again. Mrs. Liu stared blankly at the clothes in her hands. So fast?
She remembered watching others make it before, but it took them a long time to make a single piece of clothing, and they had to adjust the fabric back and forth in their hands.
Sometimes, if it's not done well, it has to be dismantled and reworked later.
But when it came to Xia Liang, he almost didn't even look at it and just got started!
She held the clothes in her hands and examined them over and over again, and found that the clothes were finely made, with fine stitching and uniform sizes, even neater than those bought from department stores.
Mrs. Liu looked at Xia Liang in shock.
She never thought that Xia Liang, at such a young age, had such great skills in making clothes?
"Ms. Xia Liang? Have you made clothes many times before?"
"Just now I saw that you were so familiar with the way you made clothes. I've seen craftsmen who specialize in making clothes before, but none of them could make them as fast as you!"
Seeing Mrs. Liu's shocked expression, Xia Liang smiled and said, "I did this before when I was back home!"
"Xia Liang, I really envy you. You have graduated from high school and are taking the college entrance examination. You may go to college! Look at my mouth, I think you will definitely be admitted to college! And you can make clothes, and the clothes you make are so good. I wish I could be half as good as you!"
