That day, Gu Mingyue was having clothes made in the tailor shop when a well-dressed middle-aged woman walked in.
The other person was curious as they watched her, a young girl, making clothes.
"Young lady, are you also a master here?"
Gu Mingyue smiled and said, "I suppose so. What kind of clothes would this guest like to wear?"
Qin Xiangping thought she was joking, since even the youngest master craftsman in a garment factory must be at least thirty years old.
The girl in front of me looks to be under twenty years old. Her sewing skills probably aren't that great.
Despite her doubts, Qin Xiangping still answered her question, "I want to make a dress for my daughter. She's about your age, but a bit plumper."
Do you have detailed measurements? If you do, the measurements will be more accurate, since the most important thing when buying clothes is that they fit.
Detailed dimensions were available, but Qin Xiangping had no idea about the skill level of the person in front of her.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I remember there's an experienced chef at this shop. Could you ask her to make it for me?"
"Grandma Wu hasn't been feeling well these past two days and hasn't come over. If you're not in a rush, you can wait until the day after tomorrow."
Qin Xiangping was now in a dilemma. If she came back the day after tomorrow, wouldn't that waste two more days?
She doesn't have much time and can't withstand this kind of torment.
She gazed intently at Gu Mingyue's youthful face, pondered for a moment, and decided to trust her for the time being. But before handing over the measurements, she asked her some professional questions.
Gu Mingyue wondered if this person was here to conduct an inspection or to have clothes made.
The questions she asked weren't difficult; anyone with even a little basic knowledge could answer them.
Adhering to the principle that all guests are welcome, Gu Mingyue answered patiently.
More people means more money; no one is foolish enough to throw away money that's offered to them.
Qin Xiangping nodded silently in agreement as she listened to Gu Mingyue's answer.
The look in her eyes changed from suspicion to admiration. She had judged her by her appearance. She hadn't expected that this young girl, who looked so young, knew so much.
Thinking of his daughter who knew nothing at home, he couldn't help but sigh. If he could learn even half of this girl's skills, he would never have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
After Qin Xiangping selected the fabric for the clothes, she left the measurements. "Then I'll trouble you, sir. May I ask your name?"
Gu Mingyue: "My surname is Gu."
Qin Xiangping: "Hello, Master Gu. When will the clothes be ready?"
Gu Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "How about tomorrow afternoon? If it's convenient then, you can bring someone over to try it out. If there's anything that's not suitable, we can make some changes."
Qin Xiangping immediately agreed.
After the guests left, Gu Mingyue focused all her attention on making clothes.
Grandma Wu is taking a break these two days, and their orders have temporarily stopped. In the coming days, they only need to complete the pre-orders.
Time wasn't too tight, and Gu Mingyue didn't want to neglect the precision of the clothing in order to rush the order.
After a busy morning at the tailor shop, seeing that it was getting late, she got up, packed her things, and prepared to go home for dinner.
The state-run restaurant had a special braised pork dish today. Knowing that her two elders at home loved it, Gu Mingyue turned onto a side road, intending to take a shortcut to buy it.
"Ouch, ouch."
Following the sound, Gu Mingyue saw an old man collapsed on the ground, clutching his legs and sighing in pain.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Gu Mingyue quickly stopped the car.
The other person had gray hair and looked to be in their sixties or seventies. Incidentally, two lunchboxes fell to the ground, revealing the food inside, as if they had accidentally tripped and fallen on their way back from buying food.
This road is not usually frequented by many people, and now that it's lunchtime, even fewer people are walking on it.
Unable to bear seeing someone die without helping, Gu Mingyue squatted down and asked, "Are you alright? Let me take you to the hospital."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Young lady, I can't move my legs, and you can't help me. I need your help. Could you go to the post office up ahead and make a phone call? I'll give you the money."
The old man gave an address and a name, then took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to Gu Mingyue.
Making a phone call wouldn't cost more than a few cents, and Gu Mingyue, wanting to do a good deed, refused to accept the money.
"How can this be? Nobody's money grows on trees. Take it quickly, or the old man won't be able to hold on much longer."
Gu Mingyue was both amused and exasperated. She quickly grabbed the money and rode like the wind to the post office, rushing inside without even stopping.
Calling the address and phone number given by the old man, a gentle voice quickly came from the other end of the line, causing Gu Mingyue, who was always swayed by voices, to momentarily lose her senses.
She then turned her attention back to the old man and told him about his fall, giving him an address.
The other party sounded nervous after hearing this and promised to arrive as soon as possible. They also asked him to look after the elderly person until they arrived, promising a generous reward.
Upon hearing this, Gu Mingyue quickly reassured her, "Don't worry."
Gu Mingyue found the old man's words quite amusing, and since she had nothing else to do at home anyway...
With two elders in the family, Gu Mingyue was quite worried about this kind of thing.
If they encounter difficulties outside, Gu Mingyue hopes that someone can lend a hand.
Gu Mingyue returned to the spot where the old man had fallen. His forehead was covered in fine sweat, clearly indicating that he was in a lot of pain.
Waiting like this isn't going to work, so Gu Mingyue gently helped the other person to a shady spot nearby.
"Grandpa, how did you fall?"
"Hey, it's just that brat who rides his bike like the wind. I didn't have time to dodge, so I twisted my ankle and fell down, injuring my back. Otherwise, I wouldn't be lying here for so long unable to get up."
As you get older, you can't afford to be stubborn. If I had known I would get such a serious injury just from going out to buy food, I would have preferred to eat at home.
Looking at the food scattered on the ground, Yu Zhongqing, who is usually frugal, looked distressed.
"Young lady, where do you live? Once this old man has recovered, I will definitely come to thank you."
If she hadn't passed by, he would have been long gone by the time his old bones were discovered.
Although the old man seemed very kind, and Gu Mingyue wanted to do a good deed, she was still cautious when asked for her address.
"I live nearby."
If Yu Zhongqing, having lived for so many years, still couldn't see that the other party was wary of him, then he would have lived in vain.
It's a good thing that the young lady is cautious when she's out and about; we can express our gratitude later.
He shifted his body and changed the subject.
As the sun grew brighter, Yu Zhongqing licked his dry lips. "Why hasn't that brat arrived yet?"
I'll give him a good scolding when he gets back.
"grandfather."
Gu Mingyue's ears twitched slightly when she heard the familiar voice on the phone.
Upon seeing his grandfather, Yu Huailin rushed over.
"I'll take you to the hospital."
The people who came with him carried the old man into the car.
Yu Huailin lagged behind and solemnly thanked Gu Mingyue, "Thank you, comrade."
