"I think so. Last time I heard from the captain, Fanglin Village has almost agreed. They should be writing back this time."
"If that's the case, that's great. The people in Fanglin Village are kind, unlike those in Zhaojia Village. It's okay for us adults to be bullied, but we children can't let anyone bully us."
"That's right. The people in Zhaojia Village are used to being overbearing. Besides, their school isn't as good as the one in Fanglin Village. I also heard that Technician Li got some study materials for the children in the provincial capital. Zhaojia Village doesn't have that kind of ability."
Guan Ling listened to everyone talking, and her doubts were reduced a lot.
Li Miaomiao went to the captain of Lijia Village. She knew Captain Li and told him the purpose of her visit.
Captain Li originally thought that Li Miaomiao came for the village affairs, and his expression became very serious after hearing this.
"Is this true? That can't be true. Qinglin's wife seems quite well behaved on weekdays. She is much less of a worry than the other educated youth in our village."
"Captain Li, I wouldn't joke about something like this. The higher-ups have already investigated Guan Ling's background. This Guan Ling might not be the same Guan Ling as before. She could very well be an enemy undercover agent lurking in our country."
Captain Li's face changed when he heard this. If there was an undercover agent in their village, what would happen?
"Since it's been investigated by the higher-ups, it must be correct. I will fully cooperate with whatever you ask me to do."
"Given the current situation, Guan Ling has likely received special training. If she's discovered and exposed, she'll likely flee or injure others. She might be armed, so we have to take her down while she's off guard. The superiors are already outside, and rushing into the village will arouse vigilance. That's why I've been asked to stabilize Guan Ling first."
"Okay, I'll cooperate with whatever you ask!"
"Take me to Guan Ling's place. Act naturally, as usual. I'll hold her steady inside. You coordinate with the comrades above to surround the area outside. Also, take as many people as possible away. Don't get too close, or you might get caught and taken hostage."
"I understand. Come with me."
Li Miaomiao held onto her bicycle and followed Captain Li to find Guan Ling.
Li Miaomiao looked at Captain Li who was very happy when he left the house with a smile on his face, and he really acted very naturally.
"Mrs. Qinglin, this is Technician Li from Fanglin Village. I heard you have great craftsmanship and wanted to ask you to make two dresses. Hurry up, don't go to the fields, and greet Technician Li. He's a distinguished guest from our village."
When the village chief brought Li Miaomiao over, Guan Ling narrowed her eyes dangerously. When she heard what the village chief said, she didn't show it on her face, but she walked up to Li Miaomiao with half belief and half doubt in her heart.
"I've heard that there's a very good dressmaker in Lijia Village, and it's you!" Li Miaomiao said with a smile when she saw Guan Ling coming over, as if she didn't notice that Guan Ling seemed casual, but in fact she had already entered the attacking posture.
"You want me to make clothes?"
Guan Ling didn't really trust Li Miaomiao. Although many people came to her to make clothes, she and Li Miaomiao had never met before, let alone at this time.
"Yes, I heard from Zhang Xiaoqing in your village that you have great craftsmanship and that the clothes you make are beautiful, so I came to find you. I got a piece of very rare material a few days ago, and the color is very beautiful."
Li Miaomiao said this, parked her car, took out the bag from the basket and opened it.
"Look at this fabric! I got it from a textile factory in the provincial capital. Even the provincial capital's supply and marketing cooperative, let alone our county's, might not be able to buy fabric with such a nice color. I'm afraid an ordinary tailor wouldn't be skilled enough to waste my fabric. If you can make the clothes according to my requirements, just tell me the conditions, or I can give you a few bars of soap."
Li Miaomiao said this with a sense of superiority and complacency.
When Guan Ling saw Li Miaomiao's piece of beautiful sky-blue material, and then looked at Li Miaomiao like this, she chuckled and thought she was overthinking it.
"This material is really beautiful. There is so much fabric, I can make several pieces."
"I want to make two shirts and a skirt for hot weather. Time is not a big deal, the most important thing is that they look good to me. Make a shirt first, and then you can continue if I'm satisfied. This material is beautiful, and it's winter now. Otherwise, it won't be my turn. Don't waste my good material."
Li Miaomiao did not trust Guan Ling very much. She had only heard that Guan Ling's craftsmanship was good, but she had not seen it with her own eyes.
"Okay, tell me your request."
"Qinglin's wife, Technician Li is a distinguished guest in our village. Why are you standing here and talking like that?"
Guan Ling understood what the captain meant. Now that Fanglin Village is prosperous, it is normal for Captain Li to want to keep the stove hot.
"Technician Li, please come to my house. I'll take your measurements and write them down."
"Okay, let's go."
When we got to Guan Ling's house, there were still a few children playing at the door.
"We have guests today, please stop making trouble here and go somewhere else to play."
When the children heard what the captain said, they ran away and didn't go out.
Guan Ling was speechless when she saw Captain Li like this, but when she saw the satisfied look on Li Miaomiao's face, she rolled her eyes in her heart.
People in Zhaojia Village are said to be arrogant, and this technician comrade is not much better. If you don’t know him, you would really think he is some great figure.
"Captain Li, our captain will definitely do what he promised you. It's not convenient for you to talk to us women here."
"Okay then, you guys chat. Qinglin's wife, please entertain Technician Li."
Seeing Captain Li go out, Li Miaomiao talked about her requirements for clothes.
"Are you sure you want to make this style?"
When Guan Ling heard Li Miaomiao's description, she couldn't help but ask, "Nowadays, people are very conservative when making clothes, for fear of causing rumors."
"Of course. I heard you were an educated youth from a big city. Why are you still so conservative? The collar is a little lower. It's so hot, don't you think it would be more comfortable to wear this way?"
Guan Ling: ...
"If you're sure, I'll do as you say."
"This is my fabric, so of course it has to be made my way. I just heard that you have good taste and that the clothes you make are beautiful, otherwise why would I come all the way here to find you? I don't think much of the workmanship of those two tailors in the county town."
Guan Ling rolled her eyes in her heart
"The style of the shirt has been decided. What style of skirt do you want?"
Li Miaomiao thought for a moment and said, "I want to make it..."
Li Miaomiao blabbered about many ideas and requests
Guan Ling listened and felt that although Technician Li seemed to be average-minded, he had a pretty good taste. The clothes looked good, but they were a bit revealing. If she wore them outside, she would probably be criticized.
But this is not something she can control. Since the other person is willing, she just needs to do as she is asked.
