Chapter 588 Making Curtains



When Zhou's mother heard that Liu Hui agreed to stay here, she was very happy and went to the second floor to prepare a room for him.

There are no clean empty rooms anymore, so what we are cleaning is the room where Zhou Hua sleeps. The bedding is clean, so we just need to tidy it up and wipe off the dust.

Liu Hui finally felt at ease. At the housekeeper's, Uncle Guan and Aunt Guan went out early and came back late every day. Guan Zanfu lay in bed all day like a dead dog. Guan Zanqiang was a child, and Guan Zanxiang was an engaged girl.

In the housekeeper's room, he felt uncomfortable whether standing or sitting, so he came to find Zhou Xiang. He felt that only by being with Zhou Xiang could he feel at ease.

Sure enough, the aunt treated him warmly, and Zhou Xiang also agreed to find him a job, so he was no longer anxious.

At noon, Zhu Hang came back for lunch. After learning that Liu Hui was the one who sent Guan Zanfu back, he greeted him warmly and praised him as a rare good man.

Liu Hui felt very embarrassed, but also a little proud. Zhou's idea of ​​not letting him talk about the provincial road was indeed correct, and he was now considered a good person by others.

The bowl is full of food and the smile on the face is huge.

Guan Zanli just didn't like him and felt that he didn't look like a good person.

But Zhou Xiang is willing to believe him!

After dinner, Zhou wanted to continue making cloth shells. There were more than fifty pairs of curtains, so a lot of cloth shells were needed!

Guan Zanli and Liu Hui both helped to work together. Liu Hui used sandpaper to smooth the surface of the wooden board, Guan Zanli made paste, and Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiang worked together to paste the cloth shell.

There were not enough wooden boards, so the long bench and the second stool were used. It was not until they were put away in the evening and could be taken down that there were stools to sit on at the dining table.

After dinner, all the cloth shells were placed on the stools and the dining table to dry.

Zhou wanted to tell Guan Zanli that he had already hired someone, "Someone will be here to take over your job tomorrow."

Guan Zanli nodded and agreed.

Zhou Xiang stuffed 80 yuan into her pocket and said, "It was 20 yuan a month. You've been working for four months now."

Guan Zanli refused, "I was told I had to work for the full two years. How can I get paid if I quit halfway through?"

"That's just saying. No one can guarantee the length of time someone will spend working. Take it! It's not a good look to push it around."

Guan Zanli took the money and said nothing. After tidying up the first floor, Zhou wanted to ask her to go back upstairs to rest.

At seven o'clock the next day, Guo Xuehua came to work on time, with nothing to hand over.

Guan Zanli only told her what work she usually did, then left with her clothes and bag. When she reached the yard, she paused for a moment, without turning around, and continued walking out at a fast pace.

Fates bring people together and separate people, Zhou Xiang didn't think too much about it. When Guan Zanli came to work, she said that she wanted to be friends with him. It seems that she and he are not destined to be friends.

He took Liu Hui to the yard to dry the cloth shells, and did not ask Guo Xuehua to help. He just asked her to help her mother.

Guo Xuehua made the lunch, and it tasted pretty good, earning praise from everyone.

Guo Xuehua felt a little embarrassed, "As long as it suits your taste, it's fine."

In the afternoon, Zhou Xiangjian saw that the cloth shells were almost dried, so he went upstairs to sew curtains.

Liu Hui followed her and watched her pedal the sewing machine quickly, with both her feet and hands moving quickly.

The sewing machine could hardly bear her speed, so Zhou's mother asked her to slow down. "You're almost breaking the sewing machine. Why are you pedaling so fast?"

"I'm in a hurry! I want to sew it this afternoon and go to the county town tomorrow to ask Uncle Xiao to cut the tube for me."

"Spending money again?"

"Of course, how can we hang these curtains without spending money?"

"Okay, okay, I understand how you sew. I'll do it here, you go now."

Zhou Xiang looked at the sky and nodded, "Okay! I'll go right away. Liu Hui, come with me. I'll take you to see it. If you're interested, go and do it."

"What?"

"Aluminum alloy doors and windows."

"I don't understand. Let me go with you and see for myself."

When the two men reached the provincial road, Zhou Xiang waved his hand and a small Flying Tiger came over.

"Zhou Xiang, are you chartering a car?"

"Yes! Hurry to the county town, I will come back, will you wait for me?"

"Wait!"

"Let's go!"

After taking Liu Hui to the Little Flying Tiger's carriage, Liu Hui asked her, "Why do you want to rent a car? Isn't it expensive?"

"It's expensive! But sometimes time is money, and I don't want to waste it waiting for the bus."

Liu Hui didn't say anything more. This lady couldn't be treated with common sense.

Xiao Feihu drove directly to the front of the aluminum alloy shop. Xiao Mingxian saw that it was Zhou Xiang and hurried out to greet him, "Why are you here at this time?"

"I'll make something and draw it for you!"

The round hole at the top of the curtain cloth is cut with the thickest stainless steel, and several cuts are made on both sides of the very short cylinder so that it can be opened on both sides to cover the round hole of the curtain cloth.

There were more than a thousand such round buttonholes, and Xiao Mingxian was almost dizzy from cutting them.

Liu Hui watched with great interest.

Zhou wanted to ask him if he was interested.

He shook his head, "Let me look at something else. This thing costs a lot of money, and I can only be a laborer."

"Oh! You're quite bold. Aren't you planning to earn money for your journey?"

"But this requires technical skills. Why should I learn it? Wouldn't it be a waste of Uncle Xiao's efforts?"

"Okay, you're right."

After cutting the round hole buckles, we cut the hanging rod and the supports at both ends and in the middle. The supports are made of the thickest square stainless steel tubes.

Dig a semicircular depth of the hanging rod at one-fifth of the distance to serve as a slot for the hanging rod. Cut a small 90-degree triangle at two-fifths of the other end, then bend it into a 90-degree angle and weld and punch a hole.

The support of the hanging rod was successful.

This person did more than a hundred things, and Xiao Mingxian felt dizzy.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiang did not need to weld balls to both ends of the hanging rod because she was worried that it would be too long.

After struggling for more than an hour, Zhou Xiang took away Xiao Mingxian's air pump and a lot of expansion screws and expansion bolts.

Xiao Mingxian was very worried, "Can you use the Qi-turn?"

"Hey, I know the principle."

"Everyone knows the principle. Just hold the switch steady and turn the gas."

"Well, I'll take all the things back first. Please ask Uncle Xiao to come over tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll install it for you tomorrow morning. Don't use it carelessly."

"Okay! I promise."

Xiao Feihu pulled dozens of stainless steel pipes back to the town and unloaded the things at the north end. The door of the food station building must have been locked.

Two clinking bags and dozens of clanging pipes were thrown into the yard.

Zhou's mother didn't even bother asking about the price, but Zhou Xiang was still waiting!

"Mom, you don't ask how much it is anymore?"

Mother Zhou shook her head and said, "I won't ask."

"What a pity, he didn't ask for money this time. Uncle Xiao didn't want it."

Mother Zhou glared at her and said, "Eat, you're talking too much!"

After dinner, Zhou Xiang took the two kids to bed as usual. The little one who could roll over was a little disobedient, so he gave them five drops of water and ordered them to go to bed.

The two threatened cubs closed their eyes and went to sleep obediently.
