Zhao Peng and Li Lin watched the workers at work and were surprised at how fast their hands were.
Li Lin's eyes were attracted by a half-knitted sweater on the table in the knitting area.
The delicate stitches and exquisite patterns made them shine.
"Sister-in-law... No, Director, I want to learn how to knit sweaters." Li Lin pointed at the wool, his eyes revealing a deep interest.
"Director, I want to learn too. I've seen my mother knit before, and I even learned to knit gloves and scarves for her!" Zhao Peng echoed, his face filled with a confident smile.
Wen Yao was surprised to hear this. She didn't expect that these two rough guys would be interested in knitting sweaters.
I originally thought they were suited to manual labor, but now it seems that even rough guys can be careful.
"Do you really want to learn how to knit sweaters?" Wen Yao confirmed again and again.
"Well, let's learn this!" they said in unison.
Therefore, Wen Yao decided to fulfill their wish and she was ready to teach them how to knit sweaters herself.
It just so happened that she couldn't weave it by herself.
Li Lin and Zhao Peng were very excited to learn, and they followed Wen Yao's instructions carefully, weaving stitch by stitch.
Although their techniques are a little clumsy, their focus and efforts show their delicacy and persistence.
As time went by, they gradually mastered the knitting skills. Although they always made mistakes in the process, they were not discouraged at all and were very patient to take the sweaters apart and knit them again.
The women workers in the sewing area were surprised to see two big men knitting sweaters in a very professional manner.
In their impression, men can wield swords and guns, but cannot do such delicate needlework.
Now Li Lin and Zhao Peng have refreshed their perception of rough men.
After a while, Li Lin and Zhao Peng finally completed their first sweater. Although there are still some flaws, it is quite good for beginners.
They put on the sweaters, smiled at each other, and felt a sense of accomplishment.
The workers around came over and praised it profusely.
"I didn't expect you two really have this skill!"
"This sweater is really well knitted!"
Wen Yao was also satisfied with their progress and said with a smile: "You learn very quickly. You can try more other stitches and patterns in the future."
Encouraged by this, Li Lin and Zhao Peng decided to continue to improve their knitting skills. They asked Wen Yao for more tips and began to try more complex patterns.
From then on, the factory had two more rough men who could knit sweaters, and their stories became a topic of discussion.
One after another, veterans came to Wen Yao, hoping to apply for a job in the garment factory.
Wen Yao did not refuse, but allowed them to learn sewing and knitting sweaters in the factory first.
I didn't expect that a bunch of old men actually like to knit sweaters.
Now the most eye-catching thing about Zhixin Garment Factory is not the rows of fashionable clothes, but the rows of big bosses knitting sweaters.
Wen Yao looked at the group of masters who were seriously learning to knit sweaters, and she couldn't help but feel moved.
They used to be brave fighters on the battlefield, but now they are able to learn a seemingly feminine skill so attentively.
After a few years, these veterans have mastered the skills of knitting sweaters.
Under the management of Jiang Yu, Yu Xin and Wang Yan, the business of Zhen Xiaoxin Clothing Store is becoming more and more prosperous.
More and more customers heard about the special features of Zhixin Garment Factory and came to buy these sweaters hand-woven by the masters.
The garment factory business is booming, and these veterans have found a sense of belonging and accomplishment here.
At the security company, Huo Jingqian has been helping Wen Yao deal with related matters.
This matter is not as simple as opening a garment factory. There are layers of procedures that need to be approved.
If the company has a strong support system, things will be much easier.
That evening, Huo Jingqian came to the garment factory to pick up Wen Yao after get off work. He told Wen Yao that the procedural problems had been resolved.
Even without the support of the army, many problems can be solved by the two old fathers, Wen Guoqiang and Huo Zhenting.
Wen Yao was very happy to hear that.
The two chatted for a while, and Huo Jingqian accidentally saw the veterans who were knitting sweaters, and he couldn't help laughing.
"These big masters are really good at what they do." Huo Jingqian said.
Wen Yao also laughed and said, "They are all very clever and skillful people. The sweaters they knit are no worse than those knitted by women."
Huo Jingqian nodded, indicating that he agreed with her.
Wen Yao gave some instructions to the workers, then went home with Huo Jingqian.
On the way home, the two met Lu Xingzhou and Deputy Battalion Commander Xiao.
Seeing Huo Jingqian and Wen Yao being so affectionate, they both felt a little envious.
Their wives now go to town every day to sell clothes. They leave early and come back late every day. If they want to spend some time together, they are worried about disturbing their wives' rest.
"Director Wen, our Yu Xin is pregnant now, and she has to get up early every day to go to work in town. I'm worried that she can't handle it. Can you replace her with someone else?" Captain Xiao said.
"Yes, Huanhuan is pregnant. She goes out early and comes back late every day. I am really worried about her," Lu Xingzhou also agreed.
Wen Yao understood their worries. Not only them, but she herself was also worried about the safety of Yu Xin and Jiang Zhen.
She soothed them, "I know you care about your wives. Let me discuss with them and arrange for them to have their jobs changed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhou and Captain Xiao looked better and thanked him repeatedly.
After returning home, Wen Yao began to think about who should go to town to take over Jiang Yu and Yu Xin's work.
"Oh, it would be great if Zhizhi was here. She's good at talking and suitable for sales," Wen Yao sighed. Of course, she knew this was impossible.
I know that working in a newspaper is a stable job, which many people envy.
Huo Jingqian quickly prepared dinner, which consisted of porridge with leftovers from lunch and a few fried eggs.
"Yaoyao, it's time to eat. What are you thinking about?"
Huo Jingqian placed a bowl of porridge in front of Wen Yao and spoke softly.
"Ah Jing, why did you come here recently? I wonder if he has any contact with Zhizhi?"
"Qi Fang has gone out on a mission. When he comes back, I'll call him over and you can ask him in person," Huo Jingqian said.
"Oh, so that's it. By the way, Ajing, do you know if my brother has anyone he likes?" Wen Yao suddenly asked.
After a telephone was installed in the small office of the garment factory, her mother often called to express her condolences.
Look, these two always intentionally or unintentionally ask about Wen Yichen's private affairs, and ask Wen Yao to pay more attention.
Huo Jingqian was stunned for a second when he heard this, and then shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Wen Yao propped up her chin and looked at him, "You and he are in the same unit, and you two are such a good friend. You really don't know anything? My brother didn't even mention anything to you?"
