Seeing Shi Qi's appearance clearly, Wang Feng, who was sitting on the stool, excitedly stepped forward, took her hand, and greeted her with a smile:
"So it's you, sister. Thank you so much for last time."
If Shi Qi hadn't been sensible and generous, she might not have been able to pull Lao Chen away to repair her sewing machine.
Old Chen is the most snobbish person. If there is money to be made, he won't even move.
Shi Qihui held Wang Feng's hand and said politely with a smile: "You're welcome, Auntie. I didn't help much either."
The main reason is that she can't afford it, so it's nice to be able to help out.
Now it seems that she was right to do this favor.
Bai Xiaohua looked at Wang Feng in confusion, as if he had seen them before.
"Second Aunt, have you met Sister Shi?"
Wang Feng laughed heartily and pulled Shi Qi aside to tell him in detail how they had met.
Bai Xiaohua was amused and laughed, then sighed:
“Sister Shi has a real connection with our family.
Girl, don't be busy making clothes at this time.
You chat with Second Aunt for a while, I'll go wash some fruit."
Jiang Haoyun was taking a nap, and Bai Xiaohua had to accompany the guests at the moment, so he let the two talk outside first.
Wang Feng came to visit the mother and daughter and brought the children's favorite candies and fruits.
When Bai Xiaohua was washing the fruits, he also washed three apples that Wang Feng brought.
Wang Feng was doing business outside and had a straightforward personality. When he spoke to Shi Qi, his voice was loud and fast.
Shi Qi likes dealing with people like this, who are warm and kind, and don't have so many complicated thoughts.
"Hey, Xiaohua, did you draw this skirt?"
Wang Feng and Shi Qi got along better and better as they talked. Just as she was about to ask other questions, she caught a glimpse of the drawing on the sewing machine and her eyes immediately lit up.
Bai Xiaohua came out with some fruit, looked to the side along Wang Feng's line of sight, and smiled:
"Aunt, I don't have that ability.
This skirt was drawn by Shi Meizi.
She planned to make herself a skirt.
Look, next to the sewing machine are all the fabrics she has cut, waiting for me to finish them this afternoon."
Wang Feng runs a custom clothing business in the city, and she could tell at a glance that Shi Qi's clothing designs were unique.
Discovering that she has such a high talent is like finding a treasure:
"Tokisu, did you really draw this?"
Shi Qi nodded, sensing Wang Feng's unusual enthusiasm for her, and said gently:
"I have a bad figure, so this skirt is designed to cover the fat on my waist, so it's low-key.
If you like it, I will design you a more beautiful dress tomorrow."
Thinking of Wang Feng's appearance in the tailor shop that day, Shi Qi had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure.
Wang Feng held the design draft of Shiqi and nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, then please design one for me too.
Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. If you help me design it, I'll give you two dollars as a reward."
What?
Two dollars?
Bai Xiaohua opened his eyes wide. Can you earn two dollars just by designing a skirt?
This money is so easy to make.
Is there something special about this skirt?
Bai Xiaohua looked over Shi Qi's draft over and over again for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, Bai Xiaohua believes in her second aunt's vision as she has been in the clothing business for many years.
She said that Shiqi's design was good, so Shiqi's skirt must be outstanding.
Shi Qi chuckled and shook his head:
"How can I charge money for designing a skirt for my aunt? This skirt is my gift to her."
Shi Qi was so good at dealing with people that Wang Feng smiled so hard that his teeth were visible and waved his hands repeatedly:
"That won't do. I, Wang Feng, don't take advantage of others.
If you really regard me as your aunt, you must accept this money."
In the 1980s, people were simple and warm-hearted. Shi Qi treated her so well, so Wang Feng naturally couldn't let Shi Qi suffer any loss.
"Sister Shi, please don't push it. If you don't collect the money today, Second Aunt won't be at ease."
The two of them politely pushed each other aside. Bai Xiaohua found it funny and stepped out to smooth things over.
If the two of them continue to be so polite, I'm afraid there will be no conclusion until dark.
Shi Qi laughed, thought about it, and made a suggestion:
"How about this, I won't charge you for designing this dress for you.
If you need any design work in the future, please introduce me to some.”
Hearing that Shi Qi was still looking for work, Wang Feng became curious.
Bai Xiaohua and Shi Qi are both military wives. Although Wang Feng didn't hear what Bai Xiaohua said, she knew that these people looked down on self-employed people from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, these days, working in a company or factory is a stable job.
Everyone looks down on self-employed individuals who work in the public eye to earn a living.
"Okay, as long as you are free, I will bother you if any of my customers need designs in the future."
No matter what, as long as Shi Qi has this intention, Wang Feng will be happy to see it happen.
In the past two years, Wang Feng's store has become increasingly busy. She has long wanted to hire someone to help, but unfortunately she has never found a suitable person.
Now that he met Shi Qi, who had outstanding design talent and business ideas, Wang Feng naturally agreed.
Seeing that the two of them decided the matter in just a few words, Bai Xiaohua became anxious.
She thought that the two of them were just making a deal and was happy to see it happen.
But every time you do it in the future, the nature will be completely different.
What if Captain Gu knew that Shi Qi came to her to borrow a sewing machine and was then tricked by her second aunt into doing business and was unhappy?
Captain Gu and Shi Qi already had a bad relationship. If they quarreled over this matter, wouldn’t she become a sinner?
Feeling worried, Bai Xiaohua completely ignored the conversation between Wang Feng and Shi Qi.
While Wang Feng was in the bathroom, he pulled Shi Qi aside and whispered to her:
"Sister Shi, are you really planning to do business with my second aunt?"
Shi Qi had just measured Wang Feng's measurements with a tape measure and was designing the skirt she was wearing. Suddenly, he heard Bai Xiaohua's words and nodded.
"Well, I like making clothes. It's my honor to learn from you for a while."
Just because she can hold fashion shows in modern times doesn’t mean her aesthetics will be fully accepted by people in the 1980s.
Wang Feng has been working in this industry for a few years. With her leading the way, I can avoid many detours.
Once you have accumulated enough experience, it’s not too late to go out on your own.
Seeing that she was serious, Bai Xiaohua became even more anxious:
"Why don't you discuss this with Captain Gu?
What if, sister-in-law means what if, Captain Gu doesn't agree? "
She and Wang Feng are both from the same family, and Bai Xiaohua is afraid that there will be a rift between them.
In Bai Xiaohua's opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Shi Qi to be short of money.
Captain Gu receives several dozen yuan in allowance every month, so he never has to worry about food and drink.
The only explanation is that the young couple had a conflict, and Shiqi didn't want to stay at home, so he wanted to find something to do to pass the time.
But don't let her second aunt ask her to do something by then, because Shi Qi and Captain Gu have already reconciled and she won't design the order.
Wouldn’t Second Aunt offend the client and hold a grudge against her?
Bai Xiaohua immediately regretted it. If she had known this would happen, she would not have boasted about Shi Qi's abilities to her second aunt.
Don't let yourself be unpopular with others.
Shi Qi immediately realized what Bai Xiaohua was worried about, and stood up straight to assure her:
"Sister-in-law, I thought about doing business for a long time before making up my mind. It wasn't something I did on a whim.
As for Gu Chijin, you don't have to worry at all, he will support all my decisions."
