Chapter 59: Learning to Make Clothes
Tang Zhen helped Tang Tian receive the certificate of honor and the bonus. He still had a lot of things to do later. After finishing the provincial commendation meeting, he could take leave and go back to the brigade to see the girl!
Red Star Brigade.
Tang Tian sneezed several times in succession. She rubbed her nose and continued to copy the article she had written.
The brigade's bulletin board was completed, Liu Sanni was temporarily sent to collect excrement, Tang Yun did not return to the brigade, and she was very satisfied with the fate of Tang Jianliang and his wife.
The second uncle is sick and is very quiet.
Whenever Tang Tian had free time, she couldn't help but think of Tang Zhen, so she simply found something for herself to do.
She has finished reading the "Mass Literature" that Tang Zhen brought her, and is now writing a manuscript that she wants to submit to "Mass".
She thought about the stories published above and had a basic idea of them.
She didn't dare to do it at first, but Tang Zhen encouraged her again and again, so she thought it would be a good idea to give it a try.
In fact, there were quite a few literary magazines in the past, but unfortunately they were all discontinued later, and "Mass Literature" was only resumed not long ago.
So Tang Tian had no choice but to submit her manuscript to "Mass Literature". No matter how high the threshold was, she had no choice but to bite the bullet!
Tang Tian wrote "Erhei Sao", which mainly tells the story of the Anti-Japanese War period. The prototype of Erhei Sao is her grandmother and her great-grandmother.
She is Grandma’s biological mother.
It describes how Erheisao, a rural woman, rescued the wounded and dealt with the Japanese invaders, making them run around in circles.
The Japanese caused many embarrassing things in the process, which made people feel relieved and funny when watching it, and at the same time they were moved by the spirit of the soldiers and civilians at that time who fought hard and were not afraid of sacrifice.
Anyway, Tang Tian didn’t know whether others were moved or not, but she was moved to tears.
She had been writing the first part of the story of "Erhei Sao" for a week and had written 30,000 words. Last night she secretly showed it to two teachers in the cowshed, and they were very satisfied.
After copying it, check it carefully for typos. If there are no typos, put it in an envelope, write the address of "Mass Literature", stick a stamp on it, seal it, and put it in the drawer.
Just waiting for the postman to come!
After finishing a big thing, Tang Tian felt free and Tang Zhen’s figure popped into her mind.
Uncle Wu’s shirt was bitten to pieces by her!
Then you have to compensate Uncle Wu with a shirt.
Go buy it...it seems like there is no sincerity...No, no, it's very expensive to buy it, it's better to make it yourself!
Thinking of this, she took out a bottle of malted milk and put it in the cloth bag, then took out a can of food and put it in, and then put a notebook and a pen in.
After lunch and a short nap at noon, she took her cloth bag and went out to find the brigade's tailor, Mrs. Chunyan.
"Is Sister Chunyan at home?" Tang Tian stood at the gate of Qian's courtyard, looked inside and shouted loudly.
"I'm here!" Feng Chunyan came out of the house, saw Tang Tian and greeted her with a smile, asking her to come in.
"Tiantian, are you going to make new clothes?" Feng Chunyan looked at the cloth bag in Tang Tian's hand, and it seemed that it didn't contain cloth!
There are carpenters, tailors and other craftsmen in the brigade. They can all take jobs, but the wages are collected by the brigade, and then the brigade calculates work points for them.
No private transactions.
Tang Tian handed the cloth bag to Feng Chunyan: "Sister Chunyan, I would like you to teach me how to make a men's shirt."
"I want to make a shirt for my dad and grandpa."
"Especially my dad. He took a lot of effort when I was hospitalized this time."
I don't want to learn all the skills of a tailor from a master. I just want to learn how to make men's shirts.
This poses no threat to Feng Chunyan at all.
Even if Tang Tian learned how to make men's shirts, she couldn't take away Feng Chunyan's business.
Feng Chunyan readily agreed: "Okay, I'll teach you, but I don't want the stuff!"
Tang Tian smiled and put the cloth bag that Feng Chunyan had brought back from the sun on the eight-immortal table in his main hall: "Sister Chunyan, if you don't want it, I won't learn it. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy one for each of them.
Alas, the shirts sold at the supply and marketing cooperative are expensive, and the extra money is enough to buy two gifts! ”
After she said this, Feng Chunyan stopped refusing. Of course, she was just being polite.
"Today I will teach you how to measure the size, then you can go back and get an old piece of clothing that no one wears to practice the stitching."
Tang Tian: "Okay, there's no need to go home and look for old clothes, just practice with this cloth bag. After all, even if you remove the thread, the bag is still a bag."
Feng Chunyan: “That’s fine!”
So she told Tang Tian how to measure the size, and Tang Tian took notes carefully.
Feng Chunyan demonstrated it on her several times, and then asked Tang Tian to help her measure.
Tang Tian studied seriously for the whole afternoon. She learned quickly and could remember the measurements after Feng Chunyan told her twice. She spent most of the afternoon learning from Tang Chunyan how to operate the sewing machine.
Time passed quickly, and when the Qian family came back from work, Tang Tian was surprised to find that it was already dusk.
She studied with Feng Chunyan for several days and felt that she had learned enough, so she asked Zhang Juhua for cloth.
Zhang Juhua said, "Don't worry, I called your dad and he will have someone send a sewing machine back in the next two days!"
"When the sewing machine comes back, you can do it at home instead of going to Qian's house!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Tian hugged Zhang Juhua and said, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best!"
“Ah!”
Tang Tian kissed Zhang Juhua hard.
Zhang Juhua's eyes were smiling!
She whispered to Zhang Juhua, "Grandma, I'll try making it for my family first, and then I'll make it for you when I've mastered the craft!"
Zhang Juhua patted her arm and said with a smile, "Okay, okay!"
"Oh, there's no tape measure yet!" Tang Tian slapped her head, a little annoyed, "I still have to go to the commune." I have to buy a tape measure!
Zhang Juhua: "I told your dad to bring the tape measure, scissors, needle and thread, and chalk together."
oops!
Nothing more to say!
Tang Tian hugged Comrade Zhang Juhua again, and whimpered and acted coquettishly.
Sure enough, someone delivered the sewing machine the next day, which attracted a lot of people to watch.
Zhang Juhua once again became the object of envy of all the women in the brigade. She raised a good son who became a factory director and could buy whatever his mother wanted!
Where's the sewing machine!
There are only a few families in the whole brigade who have this thing!
When this thing was brought into the house, Dong Qiaogu and Lu Jinhua were extremely curious about it. They touched it in circles, their eyes glued to it and unable to move away. They both wanted to keep it in their own rooms.
This is a big deal!
It would look so impressive if you put it in your room!
Zhang Juhua said to put the sewing machine in Tang Tian's room, and disappointment appeared visibly on Dong Qiaogu and Lu Jinhua's faces.
Tang Tian shook her head: "Just put it in the main room, whoever wants to use it can use it..."
When the two heard this, the disappointment in their eyes disappeared and they immediately looked at Zhang Juhua eagerly.
You can put it in the main room!
If it is placed in the main room, it is not Tang Tian’s sewing machine alone, it is the sewing machine of the whole family!
They can again!
