The elder sister was someone she trusted very much. When she bumped into her by chance today, Yang Liu didn't want to hide it from her. She walked over, took her hand, and said affectionately, "I saw it in a book, and then I tinkered around at home. After a few attempts, I succeeded."
Yang Nan had always known that her cousin was clever and smart, so she had no doubts about what she said. However, looking at the sweet potato starch drying on the bamboo poles in the yard, she said curiously, "I see that you have made at least dozens of kilograms of sweet potato starch. You can't eat it all. You are not..."
Although she hadn't said the rest of her words, she knew from the expression on Yang Liu's face that she had guessed correctly. She smiled and poked her forehead with her finger, gently scolding her, "You are so brave! Don't you know that if this gets known, it will be a disaster?"
Before, she had heard a lot about people selling things at home or wild animals hunted in the mountains in the market. As the old saying goes, fortune and wealth are sought in danger, but this kind of thing also depends on whether you have the destiny. Some people can make a fortune, while others end up losing more than they gain. Not only do they not make any money, but they also lose themselves.
Knowing that her elder sister was concerned about her, Yang Liu was not only not annoyed by her accusation, but was actually very happy. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, elder sister. I'm so smart that nothing will happen to me. Besides, I'm quite experienced now. I've figured out the sales channels and everything. There won't be any danger."
Yang Nan knew she was bold and resourceful, but he still kindly reminded her, "No matter what, you still can't be careless. Even if you find a good market for these things, every time you take these things out, there are so many people in our village, so you have to be careful."
Normally, if there is any disturbance in the village, it will spread to everyone in a short time. Not to mention this kind of thing, if people saw it, the whole village might be shaken.
"Don't worry about this. Chu Yue is not helping others translate materials now. Every time I go out, I can use the excuse of helping him get materials or books from the town. This way, I won't arouse suspicion."
Seeing that she had thought of everything very carefully, Yang Nan stopped nagging. Anyway, now that she knew it, the worst that could happen was that she would help keep an eye on those gossipy aunties in the village.
With the help of her elder sister, Yang Liu prepared the remaining potato starch and hung it on a bamboo pole to dry. Then she asked her, "Elder sister, what were you holding when you came over just now?"
Yang Nan was interrupted by her just now and almost forgot the purpose of his visit.
She took out the clothes she had made, shook them out, and handed them over, saying nervously, "This is the clothes I made. Take a look."
Although she had not thought it through after Yang Liu left the design drawings last time, it did not affect her interest in making clothes. After she finished her work these days, she would work on it for several hours. After a few days of hard work, she finally made the clothes on the drawings.
When she first saw the blueprints, she thought the dress looked very strange. Now that it is finished, she finds it really looks good.
Yang Liu looked at it from front to back, inside and out, then gave it a thumbs up and exclaimed in amazement, "Big sister, you're amazing. You're just as good as other professional designers."
"You always make fun of me. I was just tinkering with it according to the drawing you drew. And if I really have to give credit, it must be because you drew well, otherwise I couldn't have done it." Yang Nan said embarrassedly.
She has always been well-behaved since she was a child and has done everything in an ordinary way. This is the first time in her life that she has been praised by others.
She was actually very happy in her heart. She felt that her hard work these days was praised by others, which was also a recognition of her personal abilities.
Yang Liu carefully folded the clothes and said with a smile, "Big sister, don't be so modest. If I were to say, you are self-taught. If you have the opportunity to receive systematic training in the future, you will definitely be able to show your talents in this industry and make a difference."
"Can I really?"
In the past, Yang Liu told her that she could go out and have a look, but she felt that she had no strengths at all, and her heart was full of confusion and fear about the future. But now, it seems that she has found a little confidence from this dress, and even feels that she is not that bad, and maybe she can give it a try.
"Of course you can, big sister. Our country will get better and better, and the lives of ordinary people will get better and better. Everyone can do whatever they want."
"But you definitely can't do anything illegal or criminal."
Yang Nan was amused by her mischievous look. He raised his hand and pinched her rosy cheeks. It felt soft and nice to touch.
The two sisters sat in the yard, basking in the sun and eating melon seeds, chatting about everything under the sun. The more they talked, the more Yang Nan became eager to see the outside world. It was not until they were almost hungry that they realized it was almost time for dinner, so she helped to put in the dried sweet potato starch and then hurried home to cook.
In the evening, Chu Yue came back from school and saw Yang Liu packing things in the cardboard box in the room. In order to count the quantity when selling, she divided the sweet potato starch at home, each portion was about half a pound, and then when she arrived at the place, she could just count the portions without weighing them again, which saved both of them a lot of time.
Moreover, since they were all old friends and knew each other well, Zhao Liu also trusted Yang Liu very much and was not afraid that she would shortchange him.
Seeing that she was still counting at this late hour, Chu Yue had no choice but to get down from the bed and drag her upstairs. He then wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said, "Liu Liu, you said you wanted to make money, and I agree with you. But you can't risk your life just to make money."
One time, when he went home at noon to get something, he saw that she had made so much sweet potato noodles in the whole morning. In that era, everything was done by manpower and there were no machines to replace it. It was very tiring to make these things.
And with the bicycle, he could clearly see that his daughter-in-law had increased her production.
Seeing that she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed every night due to exhaustion, he didn't even know whether his decision to buy her a bicycle was right or not.
"It's not as serious as you say. Besides, we country folk are tough and sturdy. We're not as delicate as city folks. We can handle any tiring work."
When she said this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Yue was suggestive and clearly contained some innuendo.
