Before Jiang Suisui and Chen Cuizhu went home, they first found Uncle Liu, who was driving the ox cart, and left a message with him, saying that she would take the bus from the next village back later, and asked him to inform her grandmother so that she would not worry.
"It just so happens that my parents are not at home today and will be back in the evening." Chen Cuizhu brought Jiang Suinsui home and introduced her to me, "Otherwise, if they found out that I gave you the fabric to try, they would definitely scold me!"
Jiang Suisui smiled and said, "Then I have to perform well and make sure you don't get scolded."
"This is a must!" Chen Cuizhu poured a glass of water for Jiang Suinsui and said, "You sit down first, I'll go see my sister-in-law." After that, she ran to the next room in a flash.
After a while, Chen Cuizhu came out with a pregnant woman. The woman smiled and said, "What a rare guest! I'm sorry, Cuizhu didn't inform me in advance that I had a guest, so I didn't prepare anything."
Jiang Suishun suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "No, no, I came over suddenly to disturb you, you don't have to entertain me!"
Chen Cuizhu explained: "Sister-in-law, go back to your room and lie down. You don't need to entertain me. I can do it myself. If you get tired, my brother will beat me when he comes back!"
Chen's wife smiled and said, "Okay, you guys play by yourselves. There's food on the stove. If you're hungry, just bring it out and eat. I won't accompany you anymore. My stomach feels heavy. I'm going to go back and lie down."
"I'll help you in!"
After Chen's sister-in-law went back to her room to rest, Jiang Suinsui and Chen Cuizhu were the only ones left outside.
"Let's go, let's eat something first so we can work better after we are full!" said Chen Cuizhu.
Jiang Suisui couldn't help laughing: "It seems like I got a great deal. I didn't do anything, but I got a free meal first."
"Hmph, so don't try to fool me. I'm bleeding profusely." Chen Cuizhu said straightforwardly, "Let's go, let's eat first. I've been waiting in line for the whole morning and I'm starving!"
After lunch, Chen Cuizhu took her into a room where a sewing machine with a cover was placed in a corner.
Chen Cuizhu walked over and lifted the cover, revealing the sewing machine inside, which was shining with a brand new luster.
"Is this new? It's so bright!" Jiang Suisui couldn't help but touch it and feel the art of the 1970s.
Chen Cuizhu couldn't help but show off in her tone: "Really? My sister-in-law brought it when she got married. It's only been a little over a year. She takes good care of it. She even covers it with a cover after use to prevent any dust from getting on it."
"Ah?" Jiang Suishun felt a little guilty after hearing this. "Then is it a bit difficult for your sister-in-law to agree to lend it to me?"
Chen Cuizhu looked a little strange when she heard this. She looked outside quietly and then whispered, "That's for sure! That's why I didn't tell her. Keep your voice down, we have to do this secretly."
Jiang Suinsui couldn't help but widen her eyes. Chen Cuizhu was even braver than her!
"So you must be careful. The sewing machine is very expensive, more than a hundred yuan! If you break it, not only will my sister-in-law and brother beat me, but my parents will also beat me!" Chen Cuizhu warned worriedly.
Jiang Suisui suddenly felt that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, but she patted Chen Cuizhu on the shoulder and said firmly: "Don't worry, you won't get beaten!"
She first asked Chen Cuizhu to look around the house for clothes that needed mending, and then she tried to operate the sewing machine to show her her skills.
"You're great!" Chen Cuizhu looked at her skilled appearance and felt relieved. "It seems you didn't brag."
Jiang Suisui couldn't help but smile: "Are you relieved by this? I haven't really made the clothes yet."
"Oh yeah..." Chen Cuizhu said hesitantly, "What are you going to do? I've already agreed that I can only give you two pieces of old cotton cloth to try on, no more, or my nephew will have nothing to wear in the future."
Jiang Suinsui had already made up her mind: "That's enough! I'll make a set of clothes for your future nephew now."
She asked Chen Cuizhu to find a tape measure and scissors, thought about the old cotton cloth for a while, and then started working quickly.
Chen Cuizhu looked at her skilled and confident appearance, and the remaining half of her worry was completely relieved.
She moved a stool and sat aside, watching her cutting the cloth and sewing it with the sewing machine, and she didn't find it boring at all.
Before long, Chen Cuizhu's eyes widened as she looked, and the clothes took shape without her noticing!
Jiang Suinsui raised her head from the sewing machine, finished the last seam, stretched the clothes, checked the size and thread ends. After confirming that there was no problem, she turned around, holding the old cotton cloth that had completely changed in both hands, and showed it to Chen Cuizhu: "Dangdangdang~ How is it?"
Chen Cuizhu took it with a look of surprise, looked at it over and over again, and exclaimed: "It's amazing! Is this made for my little nephew?"
"Yes!" Jiang Suisui introduced, "It's a baby onesie. There wasn't enough fabric, so I made a vest and shorts. It's suitable for wearing in hot weather, and the crotch is open. However, I still need to button a few more buttons on the back to complete it."
She touched the fabric and added, "Your family is really thoughtful in preparing the material. This cotton is very soft and suitable for children to wear."
Chen Cuizhu lifted the dress and turned it over and over again, admiring it: "Not bad, not bad, so cute! I have to show it to my sister-in-law, she will definitely like it!"
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Suinsui stopped the excited Chen Cuizhu, "Isn't your sister-in-law asleep? Don't disturb her. Show it to her later. There's no rush."
"Let's talk about this first. Are you satisfied with my craftsmanship?"
Chen Cuizhu nodded repeatedly: "Satisfied, satisfied!"
"Then... you don't need to give me the eggs, right?"
Chen Cuizhu waved her hands and said, "Hey, I was just saying it casually. I don't mean to hurt you."
"Okay!" Jiang Suensui said happily, "Then, would you consider letting me make your new wedding dress?"
Chen Cuizhu paused, thinking for a while with a troubled look on her face, and said, "Can you promise that you can help me do it well?"
Jiang Sui Sui asked: "How long will it take for you to hire a tailor to do it? How much will he charge?"
Chen Cuizhu thought for a moment and said, "It takes about half a month to make one set, and it costs five yuan."
Jiang Suisui held up three fingers and said, "I'll only charge you three dollars, and I can do it for you before this evening!"
"Really?!" Chen Cuizhu couldn't believe it. "Don't brag. Although, although the clothes you make for children are good, it may not be possible to make clothes for adults!"
Jiang Suinsui smiled confidently and said, "I still say the same thing. If you are not satisfied with the result, I will compensate you with eggs. The baby clothes just now are also free. Well... I will compensate you another fifty cents." This was all the money she had, so she was willing to give it all.
Chen Cuizhu looked at the small clothes in her hand, thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
With Chen Cuizhu's promise, Jiang Suishun acted immediately. After all, time was short, but in order to win the business, she promised to finish it in half a day, so she had to race against time.
She took out a piece of dark blue cotton cloth and a white floral lining from the fabrics in Chen Cuizhu's house.
After choosing the fabric, Jiang Sui Sui started working without stopping. Chen Cui Zhu was led around by her to measure the size, and then she watched her cutting and sewing, which was dizzying.
Time passed by little by little. She didn't know how long it had been. When Jiang Suunshun finished sewing the last button of her shirt and breathed a sigh of relief, she realized that her neck was stiff.
I've never been so focused and busy for an entire afternoon. It's not easy to make money!
Jiang Suinsui rubbed his neck, stretched, looked up, and found that there was no one in the room.
"Hmm?" Jiang Suinsui stood up and walked towards the door. "Cuizhu?"
Just as she was about to go out to look for someone, the door was pushed open. Chen Cuizhu excitedly jumped in front of her and turned around, saying happily: "Oh my God, these pants are so beautiful!"
It turned out that when Jiang Suinsui finished making the pants, she couldn't wait to pick them up and ran to the next room to change into them.
Jiang Suinsui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are too anxious, I just finished my shirt and you have already changed your pants."
"Is the shirt ready?" Chen Cuizhu was even more excited after hearing this. "Let me see, let me see!"
"Here!" Jiang Suinsui picked up the shirt she had just made and showed it to her. "It's a three-quarter-sleeved French floral shirt. Try wearing it with pants, and the effect will be doubled!"
Chen Cuizhu took it quickly, touched it twice lovingly, and then ran excitedly to the next room to change clothes.
After a while, she came back after changing and asked happily, "Sui Siu, how are you?"
Jiang Suinsui frowned after taking a look, and walked over to untie the drawstring of her pants, saying, "Let me help you. The shirt should be tucked into the pants. I made a high-waisted flower bud, which is both girly and makes the legs look longer. Paired with a floral shirt, it will give you a girlish elegance and sweetness."
After Jiang Suisui helped her tidy up, Chen Cuizhu looked down at herself. When she looked up again, her face flushed with excitement: "Suisui, this is so beautiful. But... why do I feel like my waist is so thin and my legs are so long?"
Jiang Suisui chuckled: "Don't doubt it, your waist is just this thin, and your legs are just this long. The clothes I make have this effect!"
Chen Cuizhu looked so beautiful in this dress that she didn't know what to do. She kept walking around and looking at herself from side to side.
Jiang Suinsui was at the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, there was no full-length mirror, otherwise Chen Cuizhu would probably not be able to leave the mirror.
Just then, the sound of a door opening and noisy voices and footsteps were suddenly heard in the yard outside.
Jiang Suinsui paused and looked at Chen Cuizhu.
Chen Cuizhu was surprised: "Oh, my parents are back!" After saying that, she quickly opened the door to welcome them.
Jiang Suinsui was also surprised when she heard this. Didn't he come back at night? Could it be that it was already night? !
She quickly looked outside the door and saw that the sky was dim and the sun was almost setting. It was obviously evening.
Fortunately, it’s not dark yet!
There was no window in the room just now, and when Chen Cuizhu turned on the light, she didn't pay attention to the time and the sky. She didn't expect that she would actually do it for the whole afternoon!
"Dad! Mom! Look, does my outfit look good?" Chen Cuizhu's cheerful voice came from the yard. She couldn't wait to show off her new clothes to her family.
