"This dress was made by my sister-in-law. Isn't it beautiful?"
Gu Keqing smiled and winked at Qi Zhiyun.
Confused, Mrs. Qi asked: "??? I did it?"
"Oh my, this handmade product looks exactly like the ones sold in the department stores in the city."
"Yes, yes, Shen Long's wife is really skillful."
"Mom, I want to make one like this too."
A group of women going to work started talking at once.
"Mrs. Chen Long, can you make one for us too? It's so beautiful. We'll look great wearing it when visiting relatives."
"Yeah yeah!"
Qi Zhiyun pulled her lips awkwardly and looked at Gu Keqing for help.
"No problem, one dollar for a skirt."
Gu Keqing said with a smile.
"Oh, that's so expensive!"
"It's not expensive, Auntie. A dress that's not as pretty as this one in the department store costs more than ten yuan."
Gu Keqing paused and added, "If I wear this skirt home, won't the man at home be fascinated to death?"
Qi Zhiyun was stunned when she heard her "bold" remarks.
Is this kind of thing suitable to be said in the fields?
"Yeah, if you calculate it this way, one dollar is not expensive. Shen's wife, make me two. My husband hasn't touched me for a month. Damn it. Wait until I wear such a beautiful skirt, and see if he won't be dazzled by me."
"Then I'll make one too. My daughter is getting married soon, so she needs two decent clothes, right?!"
For a time, the women in the village were all bewitched by Gu Keqing and were ready to make a move.
"No problem, but let me make it clear first, slow work produces fine work, so you have to pay a deposit and queue up to make a reservation."
Gu Keqing still said with a smile.
"No problem, I'll get the money and come find you when I get home. Shen's wife, you have to do it for me first!"
"I want one too. I have one dollar on me right now, so I'll be the first one."
"And me!"
Gu Keqing and Qi Zhiyun walked around the village in flashy floral dresses and successfully collected 21 yuan and went back.
Mrs. Qi, who was carrying two lunch boxes, still hadn't figured out what was going on.
"Brother, sister-in-law, am I rich?"
Qi Zhiyun stuttered.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you have such good skills. You can make more than just skirts. In a few days, we will wear two beautiful shirts and pants and go to the fields to hang out. I guarantee you will have a good harvest this year!"
Gu Keqing smiled and patted her shoulder.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I don't know what to say."
Qi Zhiyun's voice was choked with sobs, and even her eyes were filled with tears.
"Sister-in-law, you're not in good health and can't earn many work points. You might as well use your strengths to make some money." Gu Keqing added, "I'll provide the fabric, and you just need to make it according to the pattern. We happen to have a sewing machine at home, so you can easily make a few pieces a day."
Little did they know that the two sisters-in-law were having a heated discussion here.
Qi Zhilan and several other female educated youth who were cutting grass for the pigs were so jealous that their eyes were about to pop out of their heads.
"Qi Zhiqing, isn't that woman who can make clothes your cousin? I saw her collect a huge sum of money in no time. Isn't that amazing?"
Lin Shulan, an old educated youth who has been in Caohua Brigade for two years, said enviously.
“Who can’t make clothes?”
Although Sun Lili was also jealous, she refused to admit it.
"Go ahead and make it. If you can make such a beautiful skirt, I'll give you two dollars!"
Lin Shulan sighed softly, "Next month, when my family gives me a living allowance, I'll ask for a few more dollars and make a few beautiful skirts to wear!"
