Chapter 860 This is a good girl
For this reason, as long as Qiao Nan holds a pink and tender little face and looks at these old generals so happily, the old generals feel so comfortable in their hearts, just like drinking two pots of hot pot, and they feel happy all over.
"Old Zhai, you are so lucky. This little girl is so brave. When she sees us, she can still walk and laugh." An old comrade patted Old Zhai's shoulder enviously. In fact, they were also worried that if they came by themselves, the atmosphere would be bad.
The grandson of the old Zhai family is not young, but the girl he is engaged to is young. She has just reached adulthood and it will take a few years for her to get married.
The old generals have been old revolutionaries all their lives, and what they like most is their military uniforms.
They value and think that anything should be presented in a grand manner, and even when they wear their own military uniforms, they give the greatest attention and respect.
These old generals and old revolutionaries are scary enough in casual clothes, and wearing military uniforms, it's like they are participating in some national event, which is even more scary.
The attention from the old generals is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
The amazing thing is that Qiao Nan endured it.
China has become fashionable to imitate foreigners and wear white wedding dresses for engagements and weddings, but the old generals like traditional Chinese things.
Today Qiao Nan is wearing a fresh and fiery red modified cheongsam.
The material of cheongsam is mostly thick and heavy. In this hot weather, there is no air conditioning, and Qiao Nan can't stand wearing it.
To this end, Qiao Nan used her expertise to select the fabric and cut it herself to make a modified cheongsam wedding dress.
The sewing machine that Shi Qing gave her couldn't be retired after just one use, which would be too wasteful.
Of course, Shi Qing was also a ruthless woman. She had no interest in the so-called modified cheongsam at first, but after Qiao Nan's own dress was made and she thought it looked good, she begged Qiao Nan to make one for her as well.
On this good day, Shi Qing was clearly wearing the improved cheongsam made by Qiao Nan, and kept wandering in front of Zhai Hua, enjoying the jealous eyes of Zhai Hua, and then received praises from countless familiar uncles and uncles: "Isn't it? Our Chinese products are so good, and our clothes are also beautiful." Liang, what are you doing like the foreign devils? They are so naked and dressed in white all day, as if someone has left the house. This is beautiful, beautiful!"
It can be said that Qiao Nan and Shi Qing's improved cheongsam has received countless praises from the old generals.
"No, you are still young, you don't exercise enough, and you don't have much experience." Old Master Zhai, who was also very proud, smiled and said, "I heard that my granddaughter-in-law made the clothes she was wearing herself. Her craftsmanship is not very good, just average, but still acceptable."
"Oh, you can make your own clothes, good girl."
The old generals praised her.
Unlike the young people nowadays, the old generals do not believe in buying food and daily necessities, but believe in making and growing them at home.
Until now, the old generals rarely wear leather shoes, and most of them wear cloth shoes, which are made piece by piece of cloth. They always feel that such cloth shoes are comfortable and practical to wear on their feet.
As for those air-cushioned sports shoes made by foreigners, no matter how filial their children are, no matter how good the shoes are, the old generals will not wear them a second time after trying them on once, as they will feel uncomfortable.
Things from their own country are so good, why wear things from foreign countries.
For this reason, girls like Qiao Nan who have skills and can make them by themselves are really liked.
"You don't know, this child is young, but she is very filial. Knowing that I like to wear Zhongshan suits, she insisted on making one for me. They are too busy with their engagement, so what can they do for me! I persuaded her in every possible way, and the child finally agreed to make me a set of clothes after she was done with this period of work and before school started, so that I could wear them."
At this moment, Mr. Zhai had satisfied his desire to show off.
It's the 21st century now, and people always listen to what the younger generation bought for them, not what they did. These old revolutionaries, they just like to hear what they did, not what they bought.
Zhai Lao's words are full of boasting.
Really, it's okay to be young, as long as you are sensible.
The granddaughters-in-law in their family are much older than the little girl in front of them. Not to mention a set of Zhongshan suits, they haven't even made socks for them.
It's not like when they were young, when a girl wanted to get married, she had to make a lot of shoes to give to her husband's family as a meeting gift. Without these, she would be a lazy daughter-in-law who can't show up in public.
"Go away." Showing off too much will definitely make people hate you: "You go away, let the little girl pour us a cup of tea." Damn old man, so annoying.
"Hahaha..." Not only was Master Zhai not angry, he laughed very happily: "When the suit is ready, I will wear it back to show you."
"..." The old generals rolled their eyes as Master Zhai became more and more excited. His grandson was already engaged and he was still so disrespectful and childish!
"Did you hear that? Words spoken out of turn into water spilled out of the water. Master Zhai is not only thinking about this suit, but you have to make it ready for him before he goes back. Otherwise, you have already boasted today, and if you don't make the suit, do you believe that Master will not leave?" Zhai Sheng laughed. It was rare to see Master Zhai like this. It seemed that Master Zhai was really happy today.
Qiao Nan blushed: "Actually, I have already made the sample. After the cutting is done, it will only take one day to step on it."
Qiao Nan did not expect that the pattern she created out of "poverty" would be so popular in the eyes of these veterans. Is this a blessing in disguise?
The Qiao family is not well off, and the tuition fees are scraped together by various parties. For the engagement, Qiao Dongliang was embarrassed to accept too many things from the Zhai family, as it was like selling his daughter.
In order to take care of the face of both Qiao Dongliang and the Zhai family, the engagement clothes must be well prepared. They are too expensive to buy, so she can only make them by herself for novelty.
Who would have thought that these veterans like it this way.
Qiao Nan had enough money to buy fabrics to make a suit for Master Zhai, but if she really wanted to go to the market to buy a better suit, she couldn't even afford half a suit, a top or a bottom.
Zhai Sheng smiled: "Master, if you knew about this, you might brag about it in front of your old comrades."
