Chapter 859 This is a good girl
Therefore, as long as Qiao Nan held up a rosy face and looked at these old generals happily, the old generals would feel so comfortable in their hearts, just like they had drunk two pots of wine, and they felt refreshed all over.
"Old Zhai, you are so lucky. This girl is so brave. She can walk and smile when she sees us." An old comrade patted Old Zhai's shoulder enviously. They were actually worried that if they did it alone, the atmosphere would be bad.
The grandson of the old Zhai family is not old enough, but the girl he is engaged to is just an adult, and it will take several years for her to get married.
The old generals have been revolutionaries all their lives, and what they like most is their military uniforms.
Anything they value and think should be presented in a grand manner, even if they wear their own military uniforms, is given the greatest attention and respect.
These old generals and revolutionaries are scary enough in casual clothes, but it is even more frightening when they wear military uniforms, as if they are participating in some national event.
Not everyone can bear the attention from veteran generals.
The amazing thing is that Qiao Nan endured it.
It is fashionable in China to imitate foreigners and wear white wedding dresses for engagement and weddings, but the old generals like traditional Chinese things.
Today, Qiao Nan is wearing a fresh and bright red modified cheongsam.
Most cheongsams are made of thicker materials. It's so hot out here and there's no air conditioning, 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 me cannot be retired after being used only once. That would be such a waste.
Of course, Shi Qing was also a ruthless woman. Initially, she had no interest in the so-called improved cheongsam. But after Qiao Nan finished making her own, she thought it looked good and begged Qiao Nan to make one for her as well.
On this auspicious day, Shi Qing was wearing the modified cheongsam made by Qiao Nan, and kept swaying in front of Zhai Hua, enjoying Zhai Hua's jealous eyes, and then receiving praise from countless uncles and aunts she knew and was familiar with: "That's right, our Chinese things are so good, the clothes are beautiful, why do we need to learn those things from foreign devils? What gauze and not gauze, the whole thing is so white, as if someone has 'passed away' from home. This one looks good, looks good!"
Yes, Qiao Nan and Shi Qing's improved cheongsam has received countless praises from the veteran generals, and they can't help but praise them.
"No, I haven't practiced enough and I don't have enough experience." Master Zhai, who was also very proud, smiled and said, "I heard that my granddaughter-in-law made the clothes herself. Her craftsmanship is not very good, just average, but acceptable."
"Oh, you can make your own clothes, good girl."
The old generals made a sly exaggeration.
Unlike the young people today, the old generals do not believe in buying food and daily necessities, but rather believe in making and growing their own food.
Until now, veteran generals rarely wear leather shoes. Most of them wear cloth shoes, the kind that are made piece by piece of cloth. They always feel that this kind of 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 the children are and how good the shoes are, the veteran generals will never wear them a second time after trying them on once, as they will feel uncomfortable.
The things in your own country are so good, why wear things from foreign countries?
For this reason, I really like girls like Qiao Nan who have skills and can do things by herself.
"You don't know, this kid is very filial despite his age. He knew I liked to wear Zhongshan suits, and he insisted on making one for me. They were too busy with their engagement, so why would they do anything for me! I begged him, and he agreed to make me a suit after he was done with his work and before school started."
At this moment, Mr. Zhai has satisfied his desire to show off.
It's the 21st century now. We always listen to what our elders bought for us rather than what we did. These old revolutionaries still prefer to do something rather than what they bought.
Mr. Zhai's words were full of boasting.
Really, age doesn’t matter, as long as you are sensible.
The granddaughters-in-law in their families are much older than the girl in front of them. They don't wear a Zhongshan suit and have never even made a pair of socks.
It's nothing like their time, 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 considered an unwanted and lazy daughter-in-law.
"Go away." If you show off too much, you will definitely be hated: "Go away, let the girl pour us a cup of tea." Damn old man, so annoying.
“Hahaha…” Master Zhai was not angry at all. He even laughed very happily: “When the suit is ready, I’ll wear it back and show it to you.”
"……"Faced with Master Zhai's increasingly powerful son, the old generals rolled their eyes frequently. His grandson is already engaged but he is still so disrespectful and childish!
"Did you hear me? If you leave, you'll be out in the open. Not only is the old man keeping his eyes on this set of clothes, but you have to make it for him before he goes back. Otherwise, if he brags about it today and you don't have the clothes ready, do you believe that the old man won't leave?" Zhai Sheng smiled. It was rare to see the old man like this. It seemed that the old man was really happy today.
Qiao Nan blushed: "Actually, I have already made the sample. After the cutting is done, I just need to spend some time stepping on it."
Qiao Nan had never imagined that the tricks he had come up with out of poverty would be so popular in the eyes of these veteran generals. Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?
The Qiao family was not well off, and the tuition was scraped together from all sides, with sponsorship from all sides. As for the engagement, Qiao Dongliang was embarrassed to accept too many things from the Zhai family, as it would seem like he was selling his daughter.
In order to save face for both Gu Qiaodongliang and the Zhai family, the engagement dress must be prepared carefully. Since they cannot afford to buy expensive ones, they can only make them themselves for novelty.
Who would have thought that these veteran generals actually like this.
The money in Qiao Nan's hand is enough to buy fabrics to make a suit for Master Zhai, but if she really wants to go to the market to buy a better suit, let alone a full suit, she can't even buy half a top or a bottom.
Zhai Sheng smiled and said, "If the old man knew about this, he would brag about it in front of his old comrades."
"..." Qiao Nan said shyly: "I hope the old leader doesn't mind." It's really a shame for these old revolutionaries to be so simple and lovely. Otherwise, with her preparation today, she can only barely get a decent appearance at best. Those who are a little mean, and her sour or even worse words will be ignored.
