Sister Zhang nodded with a smile, and the two women with her asked quickly, "Is this girl the disciple of Master Zhao? I brought this gauze fabric, can you help me make a short shirt like the one Sister Zhang is wearing?"
"Hey, did you just sew this shirt? The embroidery on the collar is so pretty. How much is it? Can you also embroider a flower on the fabric you brought for me?"
"Tsk! This short shirt and leggings not only show off your figure but also don't interfere with your work. It's much better than what I wore before!"
The three women compared the short shirts to each other in front of the mirror, their eyes shining, and they all loved them very much.
Chi Yin took out a notebook and wrote down their requests one by one.
After confirming the requirements, use a tape measure to measure the waist and shoulder circumference to ensure that the processed shirt fits well.
However, Chi Yin received five guests in the morning.
Every business is a sure win.
…
Having made some money, Chi Yin readily gave three dollars to Aunt Li to buy pork at the market.
...
...
At noon, Aunt Li steamed white rice, fried braised pork, scrambled eggs with leeks, and cabbage soup.
Wu Fang helped Chi Yin with the cutting and ironing work.
Chi Yin concentrated on sewing. The sewing machine made the sound of "da da da" without stopping under her feet. When she had finished sewing three blouses, Aunt Li's meal was ready.
After eating, Wu Fang's child felt sleepy and was in a bad mood, so Wu Fang took the child home to sleep.
Aunt Li took Xixi and Wanwan back to their room to catch up on some sleep.
Chi Yin stayed up late last night, so he should take a nap.
But when I thought about the fact that I only had three ready-made T-shirts on hand and was worried that there wouldn't be enough for customers to choose from when they came in the afternoon, I held back.
When I finished the sixth shirt, I heard footsteps outside the courtyard gate.
After two o'clock in the afternoon, customers came one after another as if they had made an appointment.
Some were attracted by the "Xiaochi Tailor" at the door, some were students from the same class, and some were introduced by the family members of the two leaders of Minsheng Textile Factory who bought the T-shirts in the morning.
As long as someone steps into the courtyard, they are a guest, and Aunt Li will warmly serve them the best Pu'er tea.
This alone makes everyone flattered.
After careful inquiry, I found out that it only costs 50 cents to mend clothes, and the price of processing the fabric is also affordable.
No one could hold back.
Families that had no worries about food and drink would go straight back home to get the cloth for Chi Yin to process.
In the evening, more people gathered at the door. After dinner, they took a walk along the alley and walked towards Chi Yin's house.
Chi Yin asked Wu Fang to hang all the shirts in the yard.
Sleeveless shirt with fake collar, loose floral shirt with POLO collar, cardigan with dropped shoulders, black and white plaid shirt with salt lace...
T-shirts of various styles and colors hanging in the yard look great.
At first everyone just stopped to look in the distance. After Wu Fang hung it up, people started to walk into the yard and ask questions.
Regardless of whether you want to buy it or not, Aunt Li will serve you Pu'er tea as she pleases.
Wu's parents prepared dinner, but when Wu Fang didn't come back for a long time, they asked Wu Ren to call someone.
Wu Ren went to Chi Yin's house and saw that the three women were really busy. They didn't even have time to take care of Xixi and Wanwan, so they just sat on the ground and played with ants with leaves.
Wu Ren was called by Aunt Li to help look after the children.
Wu Ren was happy to do so, but it was not a solution to continue like this, so he suggested to Chi Yin, "Your mother is fine at home, why don't you ask her to come and take care of the child for you? Making money is important, but you also have to take good care of the child. Three-year-olds are the age when they start to get into trouble, so you have to keep a close eye on them."
Aunt Li felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. "It's my fault. I was so focused on taking care of the guests that I forgot about the child."
Chi Yin gently soothed her, "Auntie, you are a good business recruiter. Asking you to look after the children is really a waste of your talent."
Wu Fang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, a lot of business today was facilitated by Aunt Li. She is more suitable for sales."
After all, Aunt Li is old, understands the ways of the world, is good at speaking, and doing reception and sales work can better demonstrate her skills.
Chi Yin naturally agreed.
It was at this time that she remembered that Zhou Lanhua said last night that she would come to live with her today, but there was no sign of her all day. Zhou Lanhua has always been a trustworthy person and she always keeps her word, so what happened today?
After serving the last wave of customers, it was completely dark. Wu Fang took all the unsold T-shirts back to the living room, put them in a backpack, and covered them with plastic sheeting to keep out the dust.
Wu Fang and Wu Ren left.
After dinner, Chi Yin wanted to light a kerosene lamp and draw out the styles of clothes for the next day like she did last night.
But I have always felt uneasy.
After finishing the first draft, Chi Yin couldn't sit still anymore. She asked Aunt Li to help look after the child for a while, and she hurried to Chi's house.
…
Chi Yin walked very quickly and arrived at the fifth district of Yanhe County at six o'clock.
My parents have a late dinner time, and usually by this time, smoke would have been coming out of the chimney.
There was no heat coming out of the chimney of the Chi family's kitchen today.
Even the living room was closed.
Chi Yin was nervous, so she quickened her pace and ran over.
When she reached the gate, her hands were shaking as she touched the key, and she had difficulty turning the lock and pushing the gate open.
He froze after taking just two steps.
The ground was covered with broken porcelain pieces.
Pots, pans, and utensils were smashed to pieces, and vegetable leaves, eggs, and rice were scattered all over the yard.
"Dad, Mom?!" Chi Yin's voice trembled as she shouted and hurried to the living room.
Pushing open the door to the living room, she walked in with her eyes narrowed.
In the darkness, she saw that the sofa, table, and stools had all been violently smashed. Even the square photo frame on the wall was smashed, and the family portrait in the photo was torn to pieces.
Chi Yin walked around the mess twice but didn't see anyone, so he ran to the backyard to look for her.
Aunt Wang from next door heard the noise and came out of the kitchen with a bowl in her hand. She widened her eyes and said, "Chi Yin, why are you here? Aren't you going to the hospital with your parents?"
Health center?
Chi Yin's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and she asked anxiously, "Auntie Wang, what happened to my family? Did my father have a heart attack?"
Aunt Wang explained, "Your brother had a quarrel at home this morning. I didn't know what they were quarreling about. I only vaguely heard a few words, such as partiality, indulging you, and that Yan'er's life was ruined. Then I didn't know what happened, but I heard your mother calling your uncle Wang to help take your father to the hospital in a bullock cart."
Chi Yin's heart tightened, and she immediately closed the living room door and the yard door and ran towards the health center.
Chi Yin ran out of breath and arrived at the emergency department of the health center. He saw Chi Yan and Chi Qiang sitting on a bench from a distance.
Chi Yan lowered her head and sobbed.
Chi Qiang, with a dejected look on his face, smoked with his hands on his knees.
Chi Yan heard footsteps, looked up and saw Chi Yin walking towards her, she slowly stood up.
When Chi Yin came up to her, Chi Yan immediately raised her hand and slapped him, "It's all your fault!"
