"You're really serious. You've been concentrating on painting for quite some time!"
"Haha, Shanshan, come in and sit down."
When Shen Xiaobei was busy drawing the design draft, Wang Yishan leaned against the door and glanced at what she was drawing, then said to her with a lazy smile.
Then he walked in and took a closer look at the design drafts she had drawn on the table, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"It seems you're quite professional at designing clothes. No wonder you're so good at sewing!"
"Haha, you're too kind. I'm just an amateur."
"Why are you always so overly modest? Didn't I say that excessive modesty is a form of pride? You're being too proud! However, with your level, you do have some reason to be proud."
Wang Yishan spoke directly as always, although Shen Xiaobei was a little blocked by her.
However, I was very happy to hear her generous praise, and I was slowly getting used to the way this female neighbor spoke.
"Thank you for the compliment. Okay, I won't be overly modest then. Yes, my level can indeed be called professional, okay?"
"That's more like it. I hate it when people talk nonsense. Will it kill you to be more direct?"
"Well, it seems like I won't die, hahaha!"
Seeing Shen Xiaobei smiling as if teasing her, Wang Yishan rolled her eyes at her unhappily, her eyes quite charming like a little woman.
Then, she herself smiled happily.
Then he picked up the design drawings drawn by Shen Xiaobei on the table and looked at them one by one with interest.
"These are all designs for children's clothes. Is that all you can do to design children's clothes?"
"Of course not. I design clothes for adults and children, men and women, old and young. What's more, I'm best at designing clothes for us women, especially clothes for beautiful and elegant women like you!"
"Oh, you're quite good at giving compliments, but I actually like what you said this time."
"Since you're best at designing clothes for beautiful women like me, why don't you design a few for me? I'll pay you, and I'll also let you know if what you say is true or not!"
"You really want me to design clothes for you?"
"Of course it's true. If your design is good and I'm satisfied with it, I'll let you design all my clothes in the future. It will also give you another way to make money, right?"
"How do you know I'm looking for a way to make money? Did you overhear me and Xichuan talking last night?"
"Tsk, do I really need to eavesdrop? You guys were so emotionally engaged in your conversation last night, I could have heard it openly, right?"
Seeing Shen Xiaobei's surprised look, Wang Yishan rolled her eyes at her with disdain.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Design me a few autumn outfits. I can pay you half as a deposit first. Once everything is done and I'm satisfied with them and don't need any more alterations, I'll pay you the remaining half."
"Are you serious?"
"Nonsense, do I look like I'm joking?"
"But I don't have a sewing machine here. Even if I design it for you, it will take me a while to make it for you."
"Didn't your sister Junxia tell you yesterday that Commander Guan has a sewing machine? Why don't you just borrow it and use it? It's that easy!"
"You already said it's in the teacher's family, how could I dare to borrow it from the teacher's family? Besides, I don't even know the teacher's lover. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
"Tsk, what a coward! Forget it, I'll help you with this! Come with me to the cafeteria to get food later, and I'll show you how I can help you borrow a sewing machine from Commander Guan's wife!"
"Really, you have a solution?"
"There's no way. Can I just make such a boast?"
Wang Yishan gave Shen Xiaobei another look of disdain, asked her a question in a somewhat arrogant manner, and then turned back to her room.
Seeing how confident this woman is, it seems that there is really a way to help her borrow the sewing machine from Teacher Guan's house.
Shen Xiaobei was pleasantly surprised, and he began to look at this woman with even greater respect.
With Wang Yisan here to solve the problem, she doesn't have to rack her brains thinking about it and can just concentrate on drawing her design.
At noon, when the bell rang for lunch, Shen Xiaobei hurriedly carried his lunch box and went to the cafeteria with Wang Yishan to get food.
They deliberately did not line up immediately, but stood in an inconspicuous place to chat. When Teacher Guan's wife Lin Aili came in, they immediately walked over and lined up behind her.
"Hello, Teacher Lin!"
"Hey, hello."
Wang Yishan took the initiative to greet Lin Aili first, and Shen Xiaobei followed suit politely.
Lin Aili felt that Wang Yishan looked familiar and knew that she was the family member of an officer in the South District. However, the two of them had never stood next to each other in line, and Wang Yishan had never greeted her before, so she didn't know her.
As for Shen Xiaobei, she knew that this family member should have just arrived in the past few days, and she only had a little impression of her and didn't know her.
But seeing that they called her so politely, she also greeted them kindly.
"Teacher Lin, I heard that you're very good at making clothes. The wife of the new Deputy Battalion Commander Duan is also very good at making clothes. She joked with me yesterday that she really wants to compete with you to see who has the better dressmaking skills?"
Hearing Wang Yishan's shocking words to Lin Aili, Shen Xiaobei was so scared that he immediately bumped her waist lightly with his elbow, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
However, Wang Yisan smiled secretly and ignored her.
"Oh, really? This is the newlywed wife of the deputy battalion commander named... Duan Xichuan, right?"
