Chapter 440 Why is your face so big?
Xia Liang smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie Wang."
"But I can't stay here for a few more days. I plan to go back to Beijing in advance."
"Ah, Sister Xia Liang, you want to go back early?" Aunt Wang was surprised, and the others looked over curiously.
"Yes, I was originally here to accompany Ning Zhiyuan, but she happened to have something to do so I wanted to go back early. I'm still waiting for them to buy tickets for me."
Several aunties' eyes moved, and Auntie Liu asked hurriedly: "Sister Xia Liang, if you go back early, what will happen to your teaching and making clothes?"
These are all excellent jobs, it would be great if I could stick one on myself.
"I will go and tell the principal later. I am still wrong about this matter, but I didn't expect Zhiyuan to suddenly have a mission!"
"As for the clothing job at the department store, I've already told them, and the people there understand!"
What can they do if they don't understand? Xia Liang just occupied that place, and the department store never paid Xia Liang!
"But last time I borrowed my friend's sewing machine, she said she wanted to get rid of it. Several people in the department store wanted it!"
When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up. In the eyes of many people, it was not a difficult task to gather two or three hundred yuan. It was just that industrial coupons were hard to get.
"You don't want your friend anymore?" Aunt Liu's eyes widened. She had been thinking about a sewing machine all this time!
"My friend is also going to Beijing with me. This sewing machine is just gathering dust at home. I don't know when she will come back!"
"Fortunately, many people need sewing machines now, so we don't have to worry about selling them!"
"Liangliang, how much does your friend want to sell it for?" Aunt Wang was also tempted. Actually, her family still had some savings, but it was hard to get industrial coupons. And sewing machines were rare, so if she really wanted to buy one, she had to tell them in advance.
"She said she wanted to sell it for 280 yuan. Although this sewing machine has been used, I was very careful when I used it. And a well-tuned sewing machine is more convenient to use!"
Xia Liang didn't say much. In fact, after she left, nothing else mattered to him.
It doesn't matter whether the sewing machine is sold to people here or in the department store.
Aunt Liu asked hurriedly, "Liangliang, I would like to buy it, but I don't have enough money right now! Can you extend the deadline for a few months?"
This was just a sudden idea that came to her mind. If she could make money after buying the sewing machine, she would probably be able to pay the money back soon. When she asked this question, the ladies couldn't help but curl their lips. This person is really shameless. How could she have the nerve to say that she would pay it back slowly?
You might as well just say give me your sewing machine as soon as possible, and I will give it to you after I make money! I don't know where this woman got the nerve to do that.
"Auntie Liu, I'm afraid this won't work!" Xia Liang's expression faded: "My friend is also in a hurry to go to Beijing, and it's not certain when she will come back in the future. She must pay cash for her sewing machine. If you want to pay it back later, I guess she won't be willing!"
Xia Liang's meaning was already very clear, she almost said it out loud, "Don't overthink it. It's not certain when my friend will come back. How could she be willing to let you share the payment?"
Besides, sewing machines are rare items, and there are many people who want them, not just you!
After Xia Liang returned, Aunt Liu curled her lips in disdain: "This sister Xia Liang is too unkind. We are all from the same compound. Even if it is a temporary debt, can I still owe her money?"
Aunt Wang sneered, "Xia Liang said at the beginning that the sewing machine is not hers, but her friend's. Her friend is in a hurry to go to Beijing, so how could she let you owe her money? You should give up this idea!"
Aunt Wang started to think. In fact, Xia Liang made money by making clothes. Who in the compound wouldn't be jealous?
It’s just…she had never made clothes before, and she felt that making clothes was not an easy task.
If she knew a little more, she could take down the sewing machine and give it a try.
Thinking of this, she stood up and said to the others with a smile: "My husband Wang asked me to take care of Xia Liang. I'll go over and talk to her!"
Several people secretly muttered, this person is really...
But Aunt Wang didn't care. As soon as she entered Xia Liang's house, she told him the purpose of her visit.
Xia Liang didn't want to cause trouble. Who would she sell the sewing machine to? But thinking of Aunt Wang's husband's job, she smiled and said, "It's really not that troublesome to make clothes. It just so happens that I received six pieces today. You can watch me while I cut them. See if it's difficult or not!"
"As for how long it takes to learn how to make clothes, I can't tell you. Some people learn slowly, some learn faster. When I was in my hometown, I had an older sister who learned to make clothes very quickly. She would usually watch me make clothes, and later she would cut and make clothes with old clothes. In just one month, she made clothes that looked pretty good!"
"It all depends on one's understanding. Auntie Wang, if you want to give it a try, you can watch me do it later!"
Aunt Wang nodded hurriedly, and Xia Liang spread out the clothes. She also deliberately told her what to pay attention to when cutting, and what the big pattern should be.
Aunt Wang watched with great interest and took secret notes.
"Generally speaking, you only need to learn how to make ordinary styles of clothes. The rest are all variations of ordinary styles, so you can learn them slowly."
"As for sewing clothes, there is no secret. You still need to practice a lot."
Xia Liang finished cutting three pieces and then began to sew.
Aunt Wang watched intently from the side, and before she knew it, it was evening.
"I think I'm still very interested. I'll discuss it with your brother Wang when I get back. If not, I can just leave this sewing machine here! It will save you from moving to the city again."
Xia Liang smiled and nodded: "Auntie Wang, it's up to you. This sewing machine is indeed used, but we don't use it very often, and I've trained it to be quite useful. It belongs to a friend of mine, and two hundred and eighty yuan shouldn't be cheap!"
Auntie Wang nodded. To be honest, this price is really not cheap. But who made the sewing machine so difficult to buy?
The next day, Aunt Wang came again early, but Aunt Liu also came with her.
They were both looking at Xia Lianggan.
Aunt Liu felt a little uncomfortable. She always felt that Xia Liang treated Aunt Wang better than herself.
"In fact, this mainly depends on practice, just like when you sew clothes, if you are familiar with it, the stitches you make with your eyes closed are very good. But if you are not familiar with it, then it will be a bit troublesome!"
