Chapter 198 You are not from Qin City?



"Xiao Hai, go to the factory and call grandma back. Tell her that the comrade who helped her make clothes is here."

"good."

After the little boy agreed, he ran away.

Then she placed her daughter in her arms on a chair, poured a glass of water for Song Fuyu, and put some glutinous rice noodles on the table.

"Eat something, you're welcome~"

"Thank you~"

"My mother told me before that there was a guy who was very good at making clothes. I thought he was quite old, but I didn't expect he was so young."

"It was your mother-in-law who showed me kindness and gave me this opportunity."

"You actually look quite young. If I hadn't seen that little boy calling you mom just now, I would have thought you were no more than 21 or 22."

"You flatter me. I'm not twenty-one or twenty-two. I'm thirty-one."

“That’s really hard to tell.”

The other party was obviously very happy to hear her praise and kept asking her to eat the food on the table.

"Mom, I want to eat too."

"You can only eat one before lunch~"

"Two will do?"

The little girl in her arms held up two fingers and negotiated with her.

"No, you can only eat one, or you can eat it after you have dinner."

"Okay, eat one first."

She took a rice noodle from the table and put it in the little girl's hand.

"Your two children are both very well behaved. You taught them very well."

"When they get naughty, they can be a headache sometimes, but generally they are very obedient."

When she talked about her two children, her face revealed a maternal glow, and her temperament was extremely gentle. Just from her temperament and her overall state, you can feel that her life is relatively happy.

For a moment, Song Fuyu had many questions in his mind, and he didn't know whether he should ask them out loud.

However, while she was still thinking, the little boy came back with his grandmother.

"Grandma, this sister is looking for you."

"Comrade, you are finally here."

"I'm sorry, I was out of town before. When I went to see Miaomiao yesterday, I heard from her that you wanted me to make clothes for you."

"It's okay, I was just worried that you wouldn't come."

"No~"

"I don't know what kind of clothes you want. I don't have any samples. They are all custom-made according to each person's preferences and temperament."

"To be honest, I don't really know what kind of clothes suit me."

"Then can you tell me what occasion you are making the clothes for this time?"

Judging from the way she was dressed at that moment, one could tell that they came from a well-off family, but they were not the kind of people who would spend money on custom-made clothes for daily life.

"There will be a foreign trade fair in Hai City at the end of December. Each city will select three factories to participate. Our factory is fortunate to be selected this time."

"As the production director of the factory, I will need to attend the event. But my previous clothes were more casual, so I want to order a set of slightly more formal clothes this time."

"I see. So do you prefer suits or skirts?"

"I'm almost fifty, so it's not appropriate to wear a skirt, right?"

"You misunderstood. It's not the kind of dress we usually wear. It's an autumn and winter woolen coat with the hem made into a skirt."

Seeing that she didn't understand, Song Fuyu immediately took out her sketchbook from her cross-body bag and quickly drew a sketch of the clothes on the paper.

"It's a more formal style, but also very elegant. If you can accept it, I think it would be even better if you added a belt in the middle."

She quickly outlined the belt again.

"What kind of pants would be more suitable to wear underneath?"

"The black straight-leg pants you're wearing now are good, but if they were a little slimmer, the effect might be better. After all, the top has a little bit of a skirt, so it's not suitable to wear too loose pants underneath."

"Xia Xia, what do you think?"

She seemed a little conflicted and turned to look at her daughter-in-law who was watching quietly and without saying anything.

"I feel pretty good."

"Comrade Song, how about you draw the style of the suit so I can choose it for you?"

"Can."

Song Fuyu drew several costume sketches in a row. These things were very simple for her because she had a lot of costume pictures in her mind. When drawing, she only needed to adjust them according to the characteristics of this era.

Fang Mei, who was standing next to her, was so shocked by her speed that she kept her mouth open the whole time.

She has worked in a garment factory for many years and has never seen such a great painter.

She feels that every piece of clothing she draws by hand is very beautiful and unique.

Looking at the sketches in front of her, she found it even more difficult to make a decision than before.

"Comrade Song, do you have time this afternoon? Why don't you stay at our house for lunch? When Xia Xia's father-in-law comes back for lunch, I'll let him choose as well."

Song Fuyu thought about it and finally nodded.

"But it can't be later than three in the afternoon, because I have to catch the bus home."

"Don't worry about that. Although I'm making the clothes for my own personal use, it's also for the image of the factory. If it's late, I'll ask the factory manager to ask the factory driver to take you there."

She also knew that their garment factory was quite far from the bus station. A little girl alone would probably have to wait until 6 or 7 in the evening to get back from the bus. She had to go home after getting off the bus. If something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Okay, thank you~"

"Comrade Song, don't be so polite. If you don't mind, you can just call me Aunt Fang."

"I don't mind, Aunt Fang, you can just call me Fu Yu."

"In that case, you can stay at Aunt Fang's house for lunch. Let's take a break and discuss this after dinner."

"Okay~"

Song Fuyu tidied up the drawings and put them aside.

"Fu Yu, your painting skills are really good, have you learned it?"

"I haven't learned it. I just like to draw when I have nothing to do."

She had learned it in her previous life, but in this life she only finished junior high school, so it was a bit far-fetched to say that she had learned it.

"Then you are really talented."

"When our clothing factory makes samples, they also have clothing drawings. In my opinion, their drawings are not even one-tenth of your level."

"Aunt Fang, you're too kind."

"Do you have a job? Why don't you come to work in our garment factory? We are always short of talents in this field. If you are willing, I can recommend you."

"Although external recruits need to pass the factory's exams, talents with outstanding skills can be given priority."

"Thank you for your trust, but I have to go to Lu City after the New Year, so I'm afraid I won't be able to work in the garment factory."

“That’s a real shame.”

She didn't want to work in a factory, but she did want to cooperate with a clothing factory. However, this was her first visit, and she hadn't even confirmed what the other party wanted to make, but she had already proposed her own ideas, which seemed too purposeful.

If the other party was more vigilant, the clothing order might even be cancelled. She would not act impulsively.

"You are not from our Qin City?"

"No, I am an educated youth who came to the countryside to work."

"No wonder I don't hear your accent at all."

"I've been here for a short time, and I haven't learned it yet."

"It is true that your accent will change a little if you stay here for a long time. My daughter-in-law is not from Qin City either. She has been here for more than ten years, and now you can hardly hear her original accent."

"It's amazing. Listening to her speak, it feels like she's a local."

"Where was she from before? It shouldn't be far away. Her accent changed quite naturally."
