The tailor worked hard and ignored his wife.
His wife was about to say a few more words when she looked up and saw Yang Niannian walking in. She immediately changed her expression and greeted her warmly.
"Little girl, look around and see what kind of clothes you want to make. I have all kinds of fabrics here, with many patterns and colors."
When the tailor heard the noise, he looked up and saw that it was Yang Niannian who came, then he lowered his head again.
"Just sit down and rest for a while, you'll be fine soon."
Yang Niannian looked at her watch and thought that there was enough time for a meal, so she said.
"Master, you can finish your meal first and then do it."
The tailor's wife now realized that her husband was helping Yang Niannian with the work, and was about to say something when she heard what her husband said.
"I'm old now, and I can't help much if I go to Qingcheng. I can only lend a hand from behind. Compared with the victims, my hunger is nothing."
Yang Niannian blinked. She didn’t expect the tailor to be so caring. She immediately flattered him a lot. The tailor was so excited that he even stepped on the sewing machine.
When his wife heard that the bag was to be carried to Qingcheng for rescue, she stopped urging him and even helped a little.
About five minutes later, the tailor stopped what he was doing, turned the backpack over, checked it for a while, and then handed the bag to Yang Niannian with satisfaction.
"Okay, take a look at this bag and see if it's the way you want it."
Without waiting for Yang Niannian to speak, he pondered again.
"Since you need it urgently, don't worry about whether it's the right number or not. Just use it for emergency use."
Yang Niannian took the backpack and had to say that the craftsmanship of the old tailor was impeccable. The stitching was dense and the straps were filled with cotton, so they were soft and did not squeeze the shoulders.
"Master, this backpack you made is so good, even better than what I wanted. No wonder everyone praises your craftsmanship. If I want to make clothes in the future, I will choose your shop."
Seeing that the other party recognized his craftsmanship, the tailor's face was full of smiles. No matter whether she would come in the future or not, it was very comfortable to hear these words.
"I have run this shop for more than 30 years. In the whole of Beijing, there are few tailors whose skills can compare with mine. I can make all the ready-made clothes sold in clothing stores now."
Yang Niannian responded to the tailor's words and praised him again. Then she took out money from her pocket, but the tailor said he didn't want anything.
He said it passionately.
"If I were 20 years younger, I would definitely go with you young people this time. At my age now, I won't cause trouble for the country. This bag is just my small contribution."
The tailor's wife also said, "Yes! I heard that the situation in Qingcheng is quite serious. If you young people go to support us, we can help and feel good."
Yang Niannian didn't expect that the couple was so caring. However, the bag was for her personal use and she didn't want to take advantage of them under the guise of providing support.
"This bag is for my personal use. I appreciate your kindness. I will still pay the agreed fee."
The tailor refused, "Although the bag is for your use, you carried it to the rescue, so we can't accept the money."
"That's right, little girl, don't refuse. Although we are old, we can still make a good living running a tailor shop." said the tailor's wife.
Of course Yang Niannian knew that the two old people were living well. This was within the Second Ring Road. If they could own property here, they would become multi-millionaires in the future.
But she was also a principled person and didn't like to take advantage of others, so she put the money on the sewing machine and left, but was stopped by the tailor's wife.
After some arguing, the tailor shop owner only charged a little for the fabric and waived the labor fee.
Yang Niannian silently took note of this tailor shop, thinking of asking this tailor shop to help make bed sheets and quilt covers next time.
When Yang Niannian returned to the factory, Li Fengyi had already arranged two employees, and he introduced them.
"Second sister-in-law, this is Zhao Bin and Wang Chengcheng. They both volunteered to go to Qingcheng for support."
"boss."
Zhao Bin and Wang Chengcheng said in unison.
Yang Niannian is young, and if she acts too kindly, she will lack some dignity and will not be able to intimidate others, so every time she meets employees, she pretends to be mature and serious.
"Go back and tell your family first. You may be gone for a few days. The specific time will be determined based on the situation over there."
He checked the time on his watch and added, "Gather here before 3pm."
"OK."
After the two employees responded, they went home separately.
Seeing that everyone had left, Li Fengyi spoke in a low voice.
"Sister-in-law, these two employees are locals. Wang Chengcheng served in the military for two years. He has a wife and children at home, and the relationship between him and his wife is harmonious. He used to work in a flour mill, but felt that the salary was too low to support his family, so he came here to work after being introduced by a friend."
"Zhao Bin's family is also very harmonious. He just got married in the first half of the year and his wife is three months pregnant. His parents are employees of the flour mill."
Yang Niannian felt that the two people Li Fengyi found were good, with reliable identities and looked honest. After thinking about it, she asked cautiously.
"How is their relationship?"
Li Fengyi didn't know why Yang Niannian asked this, so he told the truth.
"They don't work in the same workshop and are not familiar with each other."
Yang Niannian was completely relieved. If they were not familiar with each other, they would not unite to cause trouble. Even if one of them had bad intentions, he would consider the other.
This combination has a higher safety factor.
After thinking about it, he asked again.
"How many people are willing to go to support?"
Li Fengyi, "There are nine of them at the moment. I told them to bring their IDs and meet here at two o'clock. The car to Qingcheng has also been arranged, and the driver has gone to have lunch."
Seeing that he had arranged everything so thoughtfully, Yang Niannian praised him.
"Luckily I have you to help with these things, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find anyone. Thank you for your hard work today."
Li Fengyi was a little embarrassed by the compliment, "Of course I should. If I could leave, I would also like to go with you guys."
Although he said this, he actually knew in his heart that even if the factory could be moved away, he wouldn't be able to help much if he went there.
Yang Niannian noticed something and emphasized his importance.
"The factory and Ruoling's child both need you, you can't go. It's because you're looking after the factory that I can go with peace of mind. If you go too, who will help me manage the factory?"
When Li Fengyi heard this, he became visibly happier. As they were chatting, two young men came over.
He quickly introduced to Yang Niannian that these were the people who were going to Qingcheng to provide support.
Not long after, more people came one after another. The original plan was for nine people, but in the end fifteen came, four of whom were girls.
Yang Niannian called Li Fengyi aside and asked, "Why are there girls here?"
It’s not that he dislikes the fact that they are girls, but these girls are very thin and don’t look like they have experienced any hardship.
The conditions in Qingcheng are terrible, and it is probably impossible to drive near the earthquake source. What if these girls can't stand it halfway and want to come back?
Li Fengyi was also surprised, "It hadn't happened before."
The four girls felt a little uneasy when they saw Yang Niannian and Li Fengyi whispering to each other and looking at them.
There was a girl who was timid and said worriedly.
"Are they going to Qingcheng for support? Are they human traffickers?"
Another girl looked at the name of the factory and said.
"No way? This is a big, serious factory."
Hearing their words, the girl standing at the edge stood up and shouted loudly at Yang Niannian.
"If you have anything to say, just say it openly. Why are you saying it secretly?"
