Chapter 187



In the communication room, Lu Shiye got out of the car and went straight to the phone.

Chen Nian looked at the anxious look and sighed twice.

Married men...

The nearest telephone booth to the tailor shop in town.

"Cheng Yunan, Comrade Cheng Yunan, someone is looking for you!"

Cheng Yunan didn't expect that the man would call her just when she was thinking about him.

"It must be your brother-in-law who misses you! Go and pick him up quickly!" Huang Ying nudged her with her arm and winked.

Cheng Yunan was teased but remained calm.

Married women are so arrogant.

"Hello! Is that Lu Shiye?" Cheng Yunan's voice was clear and pleasant.

"Wife, it's me!"

A deep and mellow man's voice came from the other end of the phone, which made people feel weak in the knees.

"Are you from the new unit? Have you been walking for so long?" Cheng Yunan asked in a brisk tone.

"Well, Gang, have you been busy lately?"

"It's okay. You know, I asked villagers to make clothes for me before. I plan to open a clothing store in the supply and marketing cooperative to generate income for the commune! Today I'm going to do publicity with Manager Zhuang." Cheng Yunan really likes to share the fruits of her hard work today with her man.

Another thing is that Lu Shiye is too boring. If you don't find a topic to talk about, the conversation will die.

"Well, how was your run today?"

If asked in this way, Cheng Yunan would have something to talk about, so he talked about it and gave a brief account of his visit to the two factories today.

"I'll tell my parents when I get back. They miss you very much!" Cheng Yunan said calmly.

"And you?"

Cheng Yunan was a bit confused, "Me? Me what?!"

Lu Shiye didn't say anything.

Cheng Yunan reacted immediately and said, "I, of course I miss you too. I'm happy to hear that you've arrived safely in the army. Please take good care of yourself in the army and don't be reluctant to eat. You know, I have enough money. When I'm on a mission, I'll always remember that I'm at home. I'll be sad without you."

"Yeah! I know!" Lu Shiye thought about his wife's appearance in his mind, and suddenly he felt sour in his heart and missed her a little.

"Wife, I will arrange to join the army as soon as possible."

"Well, there's no need to be so anxious." She really didn't think much about joining the army.

The two talked for a while before Cheng Yunan hung up the phone.

Lu Shiye was still a little reluctant.

But no matter how reluctant I am, I have to hang up. It's not good to keep hogging the phone.

Seeing Lu Shiye's expression, Chen Nian didn't dare to make fun of him.

The obedient ones were sent back to the dormitory.

"Brother Ye, you should have a good rest first. I'll go return the car first!"

"Wait." Lu Shiye stopped the man and took out a can of spicy meat sauce from his back.

"Your sister-in-law made this herself, so it's a bargain for you!"

Chen Nian had tasted Cheng Yunan's craftsmanship before, and when he heard that it was made by her, he was so happy that he showed his teeth.

Brother Ye, this is... a sign of conscience!

"Thank you, Brother Ye. I'll go first!" He ran out as fast as he could, fearing that he would be too late and the meat sauce in his hand would be snatched back by Lu Shiye.

"You little brat!"

Lu Shiye laughed and cursed, and began to pack up the things he brought with him.

Just as he lay down, Chen Nian came back with a serious look on his face.

"Brother Ye, there is a mission!"

Lu Shiye jumped off the bed and got ready.

"Yeah! Let's go!"

And here in Chaoyang Commune.

She left the two small headdress design drawings to Huang Ying and ran to the village with the materials and design drawings she had found.

"Second sister-in-law! Can you see if you can make something like this?" Cheng Yunan showed the design drawing to Li Hongmei.

These styles are very simple. Li Hongmei nodded after taking a look at them. "I know how to do it. This one is very simple and can be made very easily."

"Okay, then just follow my instructions and make a simple one for me to see."

Li Hongmei actually didn't know what this girl was doing with this thing, but seeing the unique style, she thought it would look good even as her own daughter's hair, so she simply sat down and started sewing it according to the pattern Cheng Yunan gave her.

In less than a few minutes, a delicate and small pink flower was sewn in my hands.

"Here, this is a hair tie. Fasten it directly to the hair tie."

Li Hongmei did as she was told.

In less than a minute, a delicate and beautiful flower hair band is completed.

"Sister-in-law, you are so skillful!"

Cheng Yunan was speaking from the heart. Li Hongmei's stitches were very fine and dense, and she would avoid creating needle holes when sewing. In a word, they looked very beautiful.

Li Hongmei also felt a sense of accomplishment. Seeing the two pieces of broken heads become so beautiful in her hands was a moment of satisfaction.

Raise your hand and push your hair back.

"I'm not exaggerating, this kind of needlework doesn't require any technical skills at all. You can learn to sew after just watching it for a few seconds."

"Yeah, my second sister-in-law's needlework is very good."

Cheng Yunan praised her a few more times, and Li Hongmei almost flew to the sky.

"Second sister-in-law, this thing is for our clothing store. It costs three cents a piece after sewing. If you think it's suitable, just start sewing it."

"Three cents a piece? You didn't lie to me?" Li Hongmei looked at her questioningly.

Cheng Yunan frowned. She didn't like Li Hongmei's questioning.

"It's true. We only have this batch of goods for the time being. Hurry up and you'll be paid tomorrow after you finish."

"Oh, really? That's great! I'll do it right away." He slapped his thigh excitedly.

Each one costs only three cents, and she can make five in an hour, or seven if she is fast. It is getting dark late now, around 7:30, and there are more than three hours left, so she can make about two hair ties.

One is three cents, two is just dimes, and if you work harder at night, you might be able to earn a dollar.

Oh my! There is really nothing better than making money.

"Second sister-in-law, let me be frank. You can do it, but you must ensure the quality. Otherwise, I won't accept it no matter how much you do! And if you deliberately damage it, you will have to pay double the compensation. Do you understand?"

"Of course, of course. I'm a bit of a jerk. We're all successful people, so I definitely won't do anything stupid."

You can do anything except making money.

"Well, make two more. I'll point out any flaws."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Li Hongmei was quick and agile, and soon she had finished making both types of hair ties. Cheng Yunan pointed out a small flaw, and Li Hongmei corrected it immediately.

"Second sister-in-law, just follow this standard. When you are done, I will collect it before I leave tomorrow."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. You don't have to worry about lunch. I can handle it by myself."

Li Hongmei was very sensible this time and took the initiative to help with cooking.

Cheng Yunan was not going to show off, "Okay, then you do it today and I'll do it tomorrow!"

"We are following each other!" Li Hongmei nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yunan took two more styles to Yang Ru, told her the price and requirements again, and asked her to make another sample.

Yang Ru's two styles are a bit complicated, and it takes about two minutes to make one. Naturally, the price is twice as high as Li Hongmei's.

Yang Ru calculated that she could earn a dollar in one night, so she would not miss this opportunity.

Find three other people and give them the pattern drawings.

As for the small size, she simply ignored it.

When Ma Yunmei slandered her yesterday, Xiaoqiao was the only one who jumped out to accuse her.

She is not the Virgin Mary. If others do not believe her and stand against her, she must be crazy to continue to help them make money.

After arranging the task, it was already dark when Cheng Yunan returned home.

The rest of the Lu family had already returned from work. Li Hongmei prepared dinner, which consisted of two rice cakes, a pot of porridge, and two stir-fried vegetables.

There was no meat in it, but it was filled with a lot of oil and water, so Cheng Yunan ate a lot.

After the family had dinner, Cheng Yunan told them about the call from Lu Shiye in the afternoon.

"Well, as long as everyone is safe, that's good." Lu Weimin nodded.

Ma Xiu Lian felt a little sad. The third brother had joined the army this time and she didn't know when he would be able to come back. The young couple were separated from each other, so when would she be able to have a grandson?
