Chapter 352 Sewing Machine

The negotiations went smoothly, and Yang Liu came to Liu Yinyin's house to tell her the good news.

Liu Yinyin asked casually: "When do you go to work?"

One thousand yuan is not a lot. They work as salespersons in the supply and marketing cooperative and earn about thirty yuan a month.

That’s three hundred and sixty yuan a year, one thousand yuan...that’s just three years.

If you don’t want to work in the future, you can sell it to someone else.

All in all, there is no loss at all.

Yang Liu has already discussed it with Zheng Qiangwei: "Go tomorrow and work as a subcontractor first."

Of course, we can’t say openly that it was Zheng Qiangwei who sold the job to Yang Liu.

Zheng Qiangwei can't go to work now, so Yang Liu can work in her place first.

After a while, it would be natural for Yang Liu to take over her job.

The job could have been transferred at this point.

As for whether there was any money transaction involved, it's fine as long as no evidence is left.

Liu Yinyin nodded: "If you have any questions later, you can ask me."

The two of them will be colleagues from now on. If anything happens, they can help each other.

Yang Liu said hurriedly: "I'm sure I'll have to trouble you."

After Yang Liu left, Liu Yinyin continued to work on making clothes...

Sewing clothes stitch by stitch is quite tiring, so she wondered if she should get a sewing machine at home.

Liu Yinyin is good at needlework, but her speed in sewing clothes by hand is definitely not as fast as using a sewing machine.

Buying a sewing machine is not very expensive, and Liu Yinyin just happened to have a sewing machine ticket.

However, the supply and marketing cooperative does not have sewing machines...

This thing is not easy to transport, so I have to ask someone to bring a sewing machine from outside to the island.

Liu Yinyin usually makes clothes and quilts, so it is more convenient to have a sewing machine at home.

The supply and marketing cooperative is not busy recently, so you can take care of your own things when you have free time.

By noon the next day, Liu Yinyin had finished making two pieces of clothing.

I had already told Dong Huaqing yesterday that she would go to Liu Yinyin's house in the evening to pick up the clothes.

At noon, Yang Liu and Liu Yinyin sat together to eat.

Yang Liu suddenly said, "Yinyin, my husband and I would like to invite you and Deputy Brigade Commander Gu to have a meal at the state-owned hotel."

On the one hand, she invited Liu Yinyin and her husband to dinner to thank her for introducing this job to her.

On the other hand, Yang Liu's man, the battalion commander of the army, named Chen Jiefang, also wants to have a good relationship with Liu Yinyin's family.

Liu Yinyin did not agree immediately: "I'll go back and ask Gu Cheng if he's free."

To be honest, she didn't really want to eat at the state-owned hotel, and it wasn't a big deal.

There is no need to make such a big move.

Besides, when it comes to work...they should be more grateful to Zheng Qiangwei's family.

Yang Liu nodded and said, "If you don't have time, forget it."

In fact, it was not Yang Liu's intention to treat everyone to a meal. She was thinking of just giving Liu Yinyin some eggs or something else as a thank you.

In the evening, Liu Yinyin washed and marinated several large fish at home.

Each fish weighs two or three pounds. Liu Yinyin divides the fish into four sections so that they can be marinated more flavorfully and are less likely to go bad.

By the time she finished her work, it was almost dark.

When Gu Cheng got home from get off work, he saw that she had no time to cook, so he went to the cafeteria and got two meals.

When I came back, it was still early and I was a little confused: "I just ran into Chen Jiefang in the cafeteria. He said he wanted to treat our family of three to dinner at the state-owned hotel?"

Liu Yinyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that Rose sold her job at the supply and marketing cooperative to Yang Liu? Chen Jiefang must be Yang Liu's lover."

"She said she wanted to treat us to a meal to thank me for introducing her to a job, but I didn't agree."

Gu Cheng paused, and Chen Jiefang's thoughts became clear.

"If you really want to express your gratitude, you should treat Yang Yiming and his family to a meal."

Liu Yinyin thought the same thing: "I will reply to Yang Liu tomorrow and tell him that you are busy."

There is really no need to do this just to curry favor.

Liu Yinyin knew that Gu Cheng didn't like to do these fancy things, so she shifted his attention and said, "By the way, I want to buy a sewing machine to make clothes more convenient."

Gu Cheng held his lunch box in his hand and immediately said, "I will talk to the logistics department of the army tomorrow and ask them to bring back a sewing machine when they purchase supplies next time."

Buying a sewing machine is easier than buying a bicycle. As long as you have money and a ticket, you can just ask someone to bring it back to you.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "It's also because I can't do business right now. Otherwise, I would open a tailoring shop and I would definitely make as much as working in the supply and marketing cooperative."

Maybe it’s more than Gu Cheng’s monthly salary.

Dong Huaqing came to pick up her clothes just now and tried them on. She was very satisfied with her new clothes.

She also told Liu Yinyin that she had hired a tailor at home who specialized in making clothes, but the clothes he made were not as good as those made by Liu Yinyin.

Before leaving, Dong Huaqing left her home address.

I hope Liu Yinyin can help her make new clothes in the future.

Dong Huaqing couldn't stay on the island for long.

But they can write to each other later.

With only Dong Huaqing as a client, he might not make much money.

However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and she just made some pocket money.

Thinking about this, Liu Yinyin discussed with Gu Cheng: "Will it have any negative impact if I do this?"

It's because the supervision is not strict now. When that special period comes, Liu Yinyin will definitely stop.

Gu Cheng didn't say no: "It's fine as long as you're careful."

Liu Yinyin nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely be careful."

She had made up her mind. She would make clothes for Dong Huaqing and would not charge him for it in the future.

As a reward, Dong Huaqing could send her some specialties from home, both food and daily necessities.

When friends give each other gifts, no one can find anything wrong with it, right?

At that time, supplies were scarce, and Liu Yinyin accepted everything that came her way.

Even if it is something you don’t need, you can take it to the market and exchange it for other supplies, right?

After dinner, Gu Cheng went out for something.

Liu Yinyin found some paper and a pencil and came out.

In her previous life, she studied painting and had good painting skills.

There is no woman who doesn't like beautiful clothes. Relying on her memory, Liu Yinyin sketched out several clothing styles that are more suitable for this era.

I can give it to Dong Huaqing later to see if she still needs clothes made.

Liu Yinyin found out that Dong Huaqing's family conditions were very good.

Her father was also a soldier and held a high position, and her mother was said to be the director of the Municipal Women's Federation.

With such a family background, her social circle must be unusual. Perhaps, I can introduce her to a few individual customers in the future?

It's not impossible.

Just as I finished my work, Zheng Qiangwei came to visit.

Liu Yinyin quickly packed up her things and poured Zheng Qiangwei a cup of brown sugar water.

"How are you feeling?"

Zheng Qiangwei sat down carefully: "I'm much better now. I'm almost broken from lying in bed all day."
