Once inside, you'll see two women making clothes on a sewing machine.
"When did Aunt Liu hire anyone? She didn't have any last time she came!"
"Just a few days ago, I was so busy that I had to hire people. Sigh, business is tough these days."
Ye Wanying laughed: "Aunt Liu, are you being sarcastic? Which business is struggling and they're starting to hire people? I've only ever seen layoffs."
"Xiao Ye, you don't know, business in the tailor shop is getting harder and harder these days. All the 'kaleidoscope' machines are popular now, supposedly controlled by computers. Our old-fashioned sewing machines are really going to be phased out."
"Well, I took on a job a while ago, and I couldn't handle it all by myself, so I temporarily hired two machinists to fill in."
Aunt Liu was telling the truth. This was a time of rapid national development, and outdated things were gradually being phased out. Otherwise, how could we talk about development?
I just didn't expect that this old tailor would also be eliminated by the general trend.
However, you should know that as you go further in your career, private tailors become very sought after; that's called 'custom-made'.
Ye Wanying didn't say anything, but went straight to the point: "Aunt Liu, I came here today to ask you to make me a few clothes."
"Can we slow down?"
"It can probably be delayed for three to five days at most."
After considering it for a while, Aunt Liu agreed: "Okay, is this one for you or your husband?" The last two times she came, she mostly made things for her son, and the two adults didn't make many.
No wonder Aunt Liu asked that.
"No, they're for a few kids to perform on stage."
Aunt Liu was a little surprised: "For a stage performance? What kind of style should it be?" She was also a little worried about whether she could make it. After all, in her memory, the clothes for stage performances were all flashy and the styles were not acceptable to the old tailors.
"Just make simple, uniform white shirts."
Hearing this, Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
Seeing Aunt Liu's relieved expression, Ye Wanying couldn't help but laugh. Then she asked the soldier to bring in the white cloth: "Fifteen meters of cloth, I wonder if that's enough to make nine garments?" she asked doubtfully.
But Aunt Liu laughed and said, "That's enough, ten meters is enough."
So there are still five meters of cloth left over?
No, not really. The remaining five meters of white cloth plus five meters of blue cloth can be used on the sisters-in-law.
After agreeing on a price, the processing fee was one yuan per garment, and the soldier immediately paid the money.
"Come pick up the goods a week later," Aunt Liu said with a smile.
Ye Wanying nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Liu."
After leaving the tailor shop, the three went straight to the stationery store in town and bought a lot of colorful wallpaper, as well as some small items for tying and styling hair. Finally, they also bought a bottle of mousse, a bottle of hair wax, and a few combs at the mall.
After this shopping spree, only a few dollars remained out of the original budget of one hundred dollars.
"Alright, we've bought everything, let's go back now."
........
When the three returned to the auditorium, it had been completely transformed and thoroughly cleaned.
Many of the sisters-in-law have already arrived, just waiting for the rehearsal to begin. They are all excited, their faces full of smiles.
Sure enough, upon seeing Ye Wanying, they immediately surrounded her: "Chief's daughter, shouldn't rehearsals begin?"
