The first time he saw Xia Wei, Shi Qi knew that she came from a wealthy family.
Compared with other families struggling to make a living in the 1980s, this kind of people were born in Rome and had no worries about money and food.
At first, Shi Qi thought she was just from a wealthy family with some money. But after meeting her twice and seeing how she spoke, Shi Qi realized that he was wrong.
Xia Wei is more like a family member.
At least it is a family with strict rules, strong strength, and a history of ups and downs for a hundred years.
Even if one's own family is quite powerful, one still has concerns in front of the elders and brothers of the husband's family, and dares not speak out directly if one has grievances.
Holding the cloth, Shiqi sat behind the sewing machine and started cutting.
Other people's family situations have nothing to do with her, and this kind of family situation is not something she can explore in her current capacity.
Do your job well and get paid, which is better than anything else.
Collecting his thoughts, Shi Qi called Jiang Ling to join him, and the two of them began to cut the fabric carefully according to the design draft.
The fabric Xia Wei gave was very precious, similar to the Shu brocade of later generations.
Shi Qi did not dare to be careless. Before he made a move, he thought again and again about whether to waste anything.
Shi Qi was so concerned, not to mention Jiang Ling. During the whole process, she only dared to help Shi Qi press or tear the cloth, and did not dare to touch the scissors at all.
I'm afraid that I might damage something and then not be able to pay for it.
Jiang Chen and Ji Zhang went to the army together. Ji Zhang went to report, and Jiang Chen found the leader with the letter.
I wanted to ask about Gu Chijin's situation, but seeing that there was someone waiting outside the office for a while.
He waited until his leader was done before going in with the letter.
"Is Xiao Jiang okay?"
Political Commissar Xu knew that he had been waiting outside the office for a long time. When he saw him come in, he took a sip of the tea in the cup.
Jiang Chen walked forward with a smile and placed the envelope in his hand on the black desk.
"Political Commissar, Captain Gu's family came to me last night and asked me to do a favor.
She said she had something very important to tell Captain Gu, and this is the letter she wrote."
Political Commissar Xu looked at the table:
"Gu Chijin has been investigating a case at a critical juncture these days. If it's nothing important, try not to disturb him."
Jiang Chen said in embarrassment:
"I know that's the truth, but his family members have repeatedly said this is important, so I had the nerve to bother you."
Political Commissar Xu put down his teacup:
"Leave the letter here, and go back first.
I'll ask my secretary to arrange it later."
After hearing this, Jiang Chen knew that there was nothing wrong with the matter. He saluted and left the office.
Shi Qi and Jiang Ling were busy until five in the afternoon.
After looking at the time, Shi Qi wanted Jiang Ling to go back to the military family compound first.
They worked for most of the day before cutting the fabrics for three pieces of clothing. The customer needed them urgently, so she had to make a blank first.
"Sister-in-law, go back to the military compound first.
I still have some work to do, and if it's too late, I'll just sleep in the store."
The lounge she had just built came in handy, and she had to rush the work over the next two days. If she really ran out of time, she would not go back to the military family compound.
Jiang Ling is worried:
"You're sleeping here alone?
How about I stay with you until you finish the work, and then we can go back together."
Shi Qi shook his head, took out two pieces of the worst cloth in the store, and began to cut them into blank samples.
"No need, sister-in-law, Dongdong is still waiting for you at home, you can go back first.
Don't worry, it's very safe in my shop.
The windows at the back were built by workers under the supervision of Gu Chijin himself, and they are very sturdy.
Most people can't move it.
Besides, I’m so close to the police station. No thief would dare to commit a crime under the police’s nose.
Just go back and come early tomorrow."
Jiang Ling hesitated for a moment, and Shi Qi's words made sense.
"Okay, I'll help you finish this little thing and then go back."
With Jiang Ling's help, Shi Qi quickly finished the first blank.
After adjusting the design draft according to the proportion details of the blank, Shiqi hurried to make another blank.
Seeing that it was almost half past six, Shi Qi started to chase them away:
"Sister-in-law, stop busying yourself. Go back first. When Brother Ji comes back later, he might not be able to find you and will be worried."
Jiang Ling paused for a moment, then obediently took her things and left.
As soon as Jiang Ling left, Shi Qi was the only one left in the store. As Shi Qi got busy, it gradually got dark outside.
Finding it increasingly difficult to see the threads in his hands, Shi Qi simply stood up, closed and locked the shop door, and then turned on several rows of lights in the storefront with a click.
As soon as the lights were turned on, the room suddenly became as bright as day.
With the environment in place, Shiqi continued to work hard.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and the area around Shiqi Store became quieter and quieter as night fell.
Sitting in the shop, Shiqi pedaled the sewing machine until it squeaked, with beads of sweat on the tip of his nose.
This autumn heat will last for a while, so after finishing the orders she has on hand, she will go buy an electric fan.
Otherwise, it would be too hot to work in the store at noon or at night.
Especially at night, once the store door is closed, the cool breeze from outside cannot come in, and the only way to ventilate is through the small window behind the storefront. I feel like I'm in a steamer.
With layer upon layer of sweat, Shi Qi finally finished the dough for the second customer.
After correcting the minor details and errors in the design draft, Shi Qi put down his pen and went to prepare water for a bath.
That’s all for today. I’ll make another blank for another customer and correct any errors during tomorrow’s day.
Once the blank is finished, we can officially start work.
After taking a shower, I rinsed my mouth with the prepared toothbrush and cup of water. When I had taken care of everything, I turned off the lights and went to bed.
That night, Shi Qi didn't have a nightmare, but he didn't sleep well either.
The storefront is too popular and cannot be compared with the military family compound.
Winter is okay, but this summer is really hard to bear.
In the middle of the night, Shi Qi was sweating all over and was thinking vaguely that he had to buy an electric fan tomorrow and couldn't wait for a while.
I don’t know how long I slept, but when I heard the hawker’s shouting outside the store, Shi Qi got up and combed his hair.
After a good night's sleep last night, Shi Qi was drenched in sweat. He wanted to change his clothes, but found that the store did not have any spare clothes.
After looking around the store for a long time, she had no choice but to tie her hair up, take a green cheongsam from the model and put it on.
Wearing a cheongsam and half-tied up her long hair, Shi Qi looked at the woman in the full-length mirror while washing her face, feeling a little dazed.
It's been too hot these two days, and Shi Qi doesn't want to wear a long skirt. This cheongsam is above the knee and just reaches the calf, which is cooler than a long skirt.
But the cheongsam was too tight, clinging to her curves and outlining her entire figure too clearly.
Looking at the undulating S-shape in the mirror, Shi Qi resisted the urge to change his clothes.
Since she has worn this dress, it cannot be sold anymore. She has to take it off and wash it, and she will have to wear it again in the future.
If she changes it just because it looks so good on her body, will she never wear cheongsam again?
Looking at herself in the mirror and touching the red mole at the corner of her eye, Shi Qi let down half of her tied-up hair and found a plain wooden hairpin to secure it.
Since you are wearing it, you still have to make good advertising effects.
When customers come in and see her outfit, they might be tempted to buy it.
