Chapter 230: Sister-in-law, she is pregnant
"What clue?"
Hearing this, the man lying on the hospital bed sat up and stared at Liu Ye.
Liu Ye tilted her head, "Wang Jianhua found out the train ticket Xu Xiaoyue bought that day, but we don't know where she went."
Yan Ye struggled to pull out the needle in his hand and stood up, "I'll go find her."
"What are you looking for?"
Liu Ye pushed the man back onto the bed. She really underestimated the importance of Xu Xiaoyue to the man.
His fever was so severe that he couldn't even speak clearly, but he still got up to look for Xu Xiaoyue.
"She can't take care of herself anymore. She's an adult."
Before meeting Xu Xiaoyue, Liu Ye had never thought that Yan Ye could be so willful and reckless.
The puberty that I missed a few years ago has now all broken out, and it's even more of a headache than Yan Shuli's.
Yan Ye was not paying attention for a moment and was pushed back onto the bed by her. He then turned over and started struggling again.
"Sister-in-law, Yueyue is pregnant."
"She is pregnant with my child and is now missing. I dream about her crying in front of me. I want to reach out and wipe her tears, but I can't touch her."
When Yan Ye spoke, his eye sockets were filled with bloodshot and his facial expression was extremely stiff.
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, her head buzzed, and then she reacted.
"What did you say?"
"She's pregnant?"
Liu Ye really didn't expect that these two people would not take any precautions. They got pregnant secretly before they even got married.
This is ridiculous!
She pursed her lips tightly and opened her mouth to yell, but when she saw Yan Ye's extremely broken expression, she swallowed the words back.
Liu Ye couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when she thought of the conversation she had with Xu Xiaoyue not long ago.
Now she didn't know whether it was good or wrong for him to let Xu Xiaoyue leave Yan Ye.
Xu Xiaoyue found a place to stay. She was lucky because there was a cheongsam shop near the guesthouse where she stayed.
She went shopping twice and took the initiative to order a piece of clothing.
The owner of the tailor shop was a grandmother, so she didn't treat her coldly just because she was from another place. She measured her measurements carefully and gave her the design before she started making the clothes.
Xu Xiaoyue’s previous designs were mostly casual clothes for daily wear, with some elements such as double-sided wear that became popular in later generations.
This was her first time trying on cheongsam, a dress with a strong oriental aesthetic.
"Little girl, does this size fit me?"
The old master looked at Xu Xiaoyue, who was wearing the cheongsam, and asked.
He raised his head and saw the girl's expression. Remembering that she was from another place, he switched to not very fluent Mandarin.
"Size, is the right size or not."
Xu Xiaoyue pinched her waist. Her belly was still flat and she didn't look like she was pregnant at all.
But she still made the cheongsam one size larger, so it was loose at the waist.
"Appropriate."
She nodded, took out a stack of money from her pocket and handed it to the old master in front of her.
The price of making a cheongsam here is not low. The one she is wearing took two weeks to make and cost one hundred yuan.
This amount of money is enough to buy three sets of blouses to wear in a department store in the capital.
However, the craftsmanship of the old master is indeed very good. The cheongsam is embroidered with gold thread, and the flowers are three-dimensional, which looks lifelike and very exquisite.
After paying the money, Xu Xiaoyue still stood in the store, hesitating and not moving.
My dear sister, are you okay?
Seeing that she was reluctant to leave, the woman couldn't help but ask.
She still likes this girl from other place very much. She looks well-behaved and is generous and straightforward when giving money.
Xu Xiaoyue pursed her lips, held the bag in her hand tighter, and walked forward.
"Auntie, do you need someone to help you here?"
"I can also use a sewing machine and draw simple clothing designs."
Xu Xiaoyue mustered up her courage, and after she finished speaking, she stared at the lady in front of her without hesitation.
It was only after she came to Hong Kong that she realized how high the prices in the outside world were.
Originally, Xu Xiaoyue thought that in this era, with only 1,000 yuan in her pocket, she would be able to survive until the birth of her child.
The reality is, she can't stay in a guesthouse every day when she comes here.
Finding a house to live in costs several hundred yuan a year, and you also have to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. When your belly gets bigger, you have to buy clothes for pregnant women and have prenatal checkups.
In addition, she was alone, and had to hire a nurse and go to the hospital in advance when giving birth.
Everything requires money to be accomplished.
The little money she had would just make a splash if she put it in there, and it would be gone in no time.
"You want to come work for me?"
The old master took a long time to understand before he asked tentatively.
Her eyes fell on Xu Xiaoyue. "First, draw a simple diagram of the human body."
The business of clothing design is to design the most suitable pattern based on the human body structure. Only by understanding the parts of the human body first can we know how to design those parts.
Whether a person's skills are good or not depends on many factors, the most basic of which is the human body structure diagram.
Xu Xiaoyue thought this meant there was hope, so she quickly sat down and started drawing on the newspaper with a pencil.
With just a few strokes, a simplified version of the human body structure diagram appears on paper.
After finishing one, she didn't stop and started drawing the second and the third.
Then he handed the newspaper to the woman in front of him.
"Master, please take a look."
She lowered her head, not really sure in her heart, but looking at the craftsmanship of the old craftsman in making cheongsams, she knew that he was quite skilled.
Whether it is threading or stitching, it would be impossible to do it like this without several years of practice.
People with such high skills have high requirements.
Xu Xiaoyue really couldn't guarantee whether her mediocre kung fu skills would be pleasing to the teacher.
The old master was holding the newspaper in his hand, and the picture of the human body structure was standard, without any mistakes, but there was nothing special about it.
What is commendable is the attentiveness.
I asked her to draw the muscle composition of the human body, and she drew three in total, taking into account the young, middle-aged, and old people.
"It's average, but not bad."
"Stay here and do odd jobs first. To do our job, you can't just be able to endure hardship, you also have to have passion for it."
When Xu Xiaoyue heard that she was accepted, her eyes lit up.
"Master, what should I call you?"
"My last name is Zhang, you can just call me Aunt Zhang."
As Aunt Zhang spoke, she caught a glimpse of the girl's sparkling eyes. She looked like a child who had eaten honey, and she seemed to be a simple-minded person.
"Aunt Zhang, I want to ask, I am an apprentice now, how is my salary settled?"
When Xu Xiaoyue asked about the salary, she was very frank and not embarrassed at all.
They are workers, and they go out to work just for a few dollars.
