While Meng Guanglei was racking his brains to think of how to get rid of his competitor Jiang Xun first, the Jiang family had already started working on Jiang Sui's marriage.
Ji Lin submitted a marriage report to the army and it won’t be long before he receives approval.
The Ji and Jiang families found a suitable opportunity to meet and have a meal, and decided on the wedding date at the dinner table.
The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year was a good day, and Ji Lin decided to marry Jiang Sui on that day.
So, there is about a month to prepare.
"Sister-in-law." Jiang Sui came to Ye Li with the design she had designed. "I designed two clothes for myself. Can you help me see if this style looks good?"
Ye Li was originally sitting at the desk keeping an account book. He took the design drawing from Jiang Sui and looked at it carefully.
"This design is quite beautiful. Are you planning to wear it at your wedding?" Ye Li asked.
"Yes, I want to get married wearing the clothes I designed myself." Jiang Sui said with a smile, "I have to use what I have spent so much time learning."
...
...
Ye Li looked at the pictures carefully again, and secretly admired that Jiang Sui was quite talented in this area.
The design of this dress is simple and elegant, and it looks quite fashionable.
At this moment, an idea popped up in her mind: "Sui Sui, isn't it winter already? Why don't you design some new styles? You are so young and so beautiful, wear them out for a walk and see if anyone asks!"
"Sister-in-law, is this feasible?" Jiang Sui thought Ye Li's idea was a little crazy. "Do you want to start a clothing business?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "Yes, I have always had this idea. Aren't we just waiting for the policy from above?"
Every year, the end of the year is when she becomes extremely busy.
Now that she is pregnant, she cannot go to Qingshan Village all the time, but Guan Gensheng and others still write to her regularly to report on the situation.
The demand for cloth in the market is huge this year, and new styles have come out. I'm afraid he will have to make two more trips to Qingshan Village after a while.
"Sister-in-law, you really dare to think about it." Jiang Sui said with great admiration, "I would never dare to think about it. I just think that if I can go to work in a garment factory after the New Year, I will be very satisfied."
"What's there to be afraid of? Believe me, in a few years, your industry will be very popular and your skills will definitely come in handy!" Ye Li said very confidently.
"I trust you."
Although she herself did not have much judgment in this regard, her eldest brother Jiang Xun told her that her sister-in-law was very good at doing business and judging the national situation.
Apart from anything else, my sister-in-law said that the college entrance examination would definitely be relaxed, and everyone would be able to take the exam at that time. And sure enough, she came true.
My sister-in-law said that she could definitely cure my brother's illness. No one believed it at the time, but my sister-in-law still found a famous doctor to cure my brother.
So she had complete faith in her sister-in-law.
"If you want to believe what I say, you will have to work a little harder during this period. When you make your own wedding dress, also make a few pieces for everyday wear." Ye Li said.
Unlike a few years ago, clothes have begun to change gradually, starting with the patterns and colors of clothes.
So she wanted to try to see if she could impress everyone with her style and open up the market before others.
There were no obvious characteristics in the clothes of the 1970s, but it was different in the 1980s.
She still has a lot of ideas in her head, and she is waiting to join hands with Jiang Sui to enter the clothing market in the future.
"I understand what you mean, sister-in-law. Don't worry, this is not hard work. After all, I am making clothes for myself. There is not much difference between making two less or two more." Jiang Sui agreed.
But there is still one difficulty at the moment. It is inevitable to use a sewing machine to make clothes.
This is quite troublesome as I don’t have a sewing machine at home.
If she were to sew them by hand alone, she probably wouldn't be able to finish making these clothes.
Ye Li had already thought about how to solve this problem for her: "You are getting married, and your sister-in-law doesn't have anything to give you, so I think I will give you a sewing machine. It just so happens that I still have a coupon for a sewing machine that I have never used. I originally wanted to buy a sewing machine for mom, but she refused to take it, so I never gave it away. Now that you are getting married, this can be considered a gift from me and your eldest brother."
Jiang Sui was horrified when she heard this: "No, this won't do. My sister-in-law's sewing machine is not cheap. I can't accept such an expensive gift."
"What a silly girl. This sewing machine is perfect for you. You will need it in the future. If you don't like it, you can make a few more clothes and go around the street to bring me some business. That's better than anything else." Ye Li said with a smile, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law won't suffer any loss."
This gift was quite pleasing to Jiang Sui, and seeing that her sister-in-law was so sincere, she agreed: "Okay, then I will rush to make a few clothes for you in the next two days."
"I'll ask your brother to buy a sewing machine tomorrow. Once you get it, I can wait for your clothes with peace of mind."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
The next day was a weekend.
Jiang Xun and Jiang Xi went to the department store to buy sewing machines.
However, Jiang Rui and Wang Sha's injuries had improved a lot after a period of rest, so they no longer needed both of them to be taken care of in the hospital.
Zhao Ximei and Zhang Yulian were finally able to rest at home for a day.
"Since everyone is here, let's make dumplings for lunch today!" Zhao Xingmei suggested. "In the middle of winter, we eat dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two pounds of pork. Since there are so many of us, we can make more dumplings."
"Okay." Zhao Ximei was also very happy. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, she thought her sister would not chase her and Yulian away at this time. "Xingmei, you don't have to go. Let Yulian go and give her some exercise."
"Yes, let me go, auntie!" Zhang Yulian no longer had the timid feeling she had at the beginning, and became much more generous than before.
"Okay, go ahead." Zhao Xingmei handed her two meat tickets and two yuan. "Go ahead. You've been working hard lately. After buying the meat, use the remaining money to buy yourself something to reward yourself. You and your mother have worked hard these days."
"Thank you, auntie!"
Zhang Yulian went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative with money and tickets to buy meat. As soon as she entered the door, she ran into a man who was walking out with a bunch of things in his arms.
With this collision, the things in the man's arms fell to the ground, including two bottles of newly bought liquor.
"How do you walk? It's not long!" the man scolded angrily.
"Guanglei, you can't talk like that. The girl didn't mean it." The old man following behind him tried to dissuade her.
