Chapter 70: What a Clumsy Hand



She wondered if she should find something to do. Otherwise, it would be boring to stand there all day. All she did was chat. She had heard all kinds of gossip in the past two days.

Fortunately, she also went out to enjoy the cool air every night, so there was still something to talk about, but if it was two days later, there would really be nothing.

The two of them have no elders now, and it seems that no one helps them make winter clothes, especially Fang Zhilin's. He has grown taller this year, so last year's clothes must have been too small.

It's so cold in winter, we can't let him wear clothes that are too short. There are not many cotton clothes sold at this time. After all, everyone can make them by themselves and won't spend so much money on clothes.

Not to mention winter clothes, even for ordinary summer clothes, everyone makes their own clothes by buying cloth. If everyone knows how to make it, they won't have to pay extra money to buy it. Making it yourself saves money and it fits perfectly.

Of course, there are also people like Fang Zhiyi who can’t make it, but their family members can make it, so most families make their own clothes.

Just like the people in the supply and marketing cooperatives, as soon as they have time, they start making these things, knitting sweaters and gloves. By autumn, these things should be ready.

It will be just right to wear when the time comes, and it won’t waste any effort, it’s just the right way to kill time.

Fang Zhiyi leaned on the counter, watching their fingers flipping the pages quickly, her eyes full of envy. She didn't have to think about having this skill.

In modern times, she is still very interested in handicrafts, such as wool felt, handmade clay, knitting scarves and various accessories. She is addicted to them all.

But after buying it, he made it in a mess. It was made of wool felt and handmade clay, and you couldn't tell what it was at all.

Knitting a sweater is even more difficult. I couldn't learn it after two days of study, and now the material packages are still in my room.

So she was very envious of those who had a pair of skillful hands. They wanted to have enough food and clothing by doing it themselves. In this day and age, it would really cost more money if they didn't know how to do it.

I don't know how to make it, so I have to buy it when autumn and winter come. There's nothing I can do about it. It's my own fault that I can't learn it.

As she thought about it, she sighed helplessly. Her sigh attracted Liu Cuicui's attention. She continued her hand movements and said:

"Zhiyi, if you want to make something, just bring it here and have it done. If there's anything you don't understand, we can help you."

"The only advantage of working here is that we have a lot of free time. As long as no one comes to buy things, no one cares what you do."

"Look, everyone is doing their own thing. If you want to make clothes, just bring them over. They're all done now, so when the temperature drops, you won't be in a rush."

"Besides, everyone is doing it, so no one will blame you. You have to have a bit of a temper to work here. You don't have to be so nice to customers. It's better to have a bit of a temper, otherwise they will take advantage of you."

"It's okay to be like us. We have a fixed quantity of things here. Some people are unreasonable, and this is the only way to appease them."

When Fang Zhiyi heard her words, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Auntie, I want to do it too, but I can't. My mother taught me before, but I was clumsy and couldn't learn it. I couldn't turn my hands."

"So I can't do these things, let alone making clothes, which is a complete mess."

"I'm just waiting now. When autumn comes, our supply and marketing cooperative will have new products. Then I can buy two sets of clothes to wear during the winter."

"I can just watch you guys do it. I really can't learn it."

When Liu Cuicui heard her say this, she laughed twice and said, "You should learn if you can. It's so expensive to buy it. But I'll talk to your sister over there later. If there is any, I'll let you choose first."

Fang Zhiyi smiled and nodded, then squatted down to play with his younger brother. Fang Zhiyi had pastries stuffed in his mouth, his cheeks bulging, like a little hamster, so cute.

When Li Mengmeng arrived, Fang Zhiyi was squatting under the counter with her brother, playing with the flower rope. Li Mengmeng was a little impatient and spoke and acted without thinking, otherwise she wouldn't be constantly being schemed by Sun Jingjing.

When she came in and didn't see Fang Zhiyi, she quickly walked over there and said, "Where's Fang Zhiyi? Could she be gone?"

The sound was so loud that all the sales clerks around looked over. Fang Zhiyi heard the sound from downstairs, sighed helplessly, and then slowly stood up from under the counter.

When he stood up, the red rope was still on his hand. Fang Zhilin also stood up, wanting to see who was making such a loud noise, but he was short and couldn't see at all.

So he could only hold his sister's legs and stand on tiptoe to look outside, but it didn't work at all. He still couldn't see anything, so he sighed like a little adult.

Fang Zhiyi also noticed his action and couldn't help laughing. She took off the red rope on her hand, then bent down and carried Fang Zhilin to the bench.

Now it was good. A round head appeared and he finally saw the person who was shouting his sister's name.

When Li Mengmeng saw Fang Zhiyi, she was about to say hello, but she saw that he bent down again, so she felt a little unhappy.

She felt that Fang Zhiyi still didn't like her, but she really liked her, so she looked aggrieved and lowered her head to look behind the counter.

Then she made eye contact with Fang Zhilin. Looking at the child who suddenly appeared, she smiled awkwardly, and her previous expression was forgotten.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to talk to me about, or do you want to buy something?"

After Fang Zhiyi brought his brother up, he saw that the man didn't say anything and kept looking at his brother with his head down, so he had no choice but to speak himself.

She felt that although she had made things clear with Li Mengmeng yesterday, their relationship was just that of classmates and they probably didn't have any personal relationship.

After all, the original owner was on the opposite side of her before. Now, no matter how much better she becomes, it is not so easy for her to be friends with her. Please forgive herself.

If this is the case, then this person would be easily deceived and exploited by others, which would be enough to make her family members worried. She is too easy to deceive, and sooner or later she will be cheated out of everything.

Fang Zhiyi didn't know that as a face control, only good-looking people could receive her preferential treatment.
