[Chapter 335 Chapter 335 Who still thinks money is too much? ]
Shen Yuyao was seen by Wu Yulan when she was making clothes for several children in the family.
She immediately suggested that Shen Yuyao use her sewing machine.
After finishing the clothes, Shen Yuyao used the defective cloth she had saved to make a skirt for Huihui as a token of gratitude.
It was a piece of navy blue corduroy.
The cloth is good, but it is a little small. It is definitely not enough to make clothes for adults.
But it's just right for making a skirt for a little girl.
Huihui is young, so in order not to look old, Shen Yuyao made special adjustments when cutting the skirt. She made pleats at the waist and sewed four bows of the same color on it.
In addition, the hem of the skirt is designed to be slightly gathered inward.
At first glance, the skirt doesn't look special after it's made, but when the little girl puts it on, the skirt looks like a flower bud that has just opened, making the girl look very delicate and cute.
Huihui walked around in the corridor in her skirt, which immediately attracted a lot of praise. Wu Yulan liked her very much.
Wu Yulan was born into a cadre family and her family conditions were quite good.
In addition, she and Mr. Cheng only have one daughter, Cheng Huihui, so the expenses are not high, and Mr. Cheng's salary is high, so Wu Yulan is much more particular about food and clothing than ordinary people.
At a time when ordinary people today only eat meat a few times a month, their family can guarantee to share a fried egg every day.
So, after Shen Yuyao showed off her skills, Wu Yulan dug out all the fabrics she had stored away in the bottom of her closet and begged her to help her make clothes several times.
They were all neighbors, so when Wu Yulan asked Shen Yuyao to help her make clothes, she didn't feel comfortable asking for labor fees, but she didn't take advantage of her either.
Every time he asked Shen Yuyao for help, he would find a way to send something over.
Either they were snacks sent from my hometown, or dry goods bought by someone in the countryside, anyway, I never had any free time.
But Wu Yulan knew very well that Shen Yuyao was helping her out of a favor, and it would be inappropriate to help her friend without paying her.
So she tentatively proposed paying for the work.
Wu Yulan originally thought that she would have to spend some time convincing Shen Yuyao to agree, but she didn't expect things to go so smoothly, which surprised her a little.
The reason why Shen Yuyao agreed so readily was actually for no other reason than that she thought if she could make some money at the same time, why not do it?
When she was in Binhai before, Shen Yuyao never worried about money.
At that time, the combined salary of her and Cheng Liyan was almost two hundred yuan a month, plus other occasional income, there was no way they could spend all the money.
But now, she no longer has the salary from the department store, and it’s not that easy to make money drawing patterns for the textile factory.
In addition, although Siqin has gone to work, brothers Chen Xing and Chen Bing are still diligently helping her find new things to do!
It was such a hot day and the children were working so hard, so Shen Yuyao naturally couldn't say that she didn't need it anymore and asked them to stop running.
This item alone costs at least five or six yuan a month, and as much as ten or twenty yuan, which is also a considerable expense.
Of course, the family is not unable to come up with the money, but who would complain about having too much money if they can have more income?
Besides, cutting clothes is not a difficult task for Shen Yuyao.
It doesn't take much time.
Since the cloth had already been brought, Shen Yuyao had nothing to do so she started cutting it in the house.
There is no big table at home, but fortunately there is a mat on the bed, so it can be used as a makeshift.
As it was a style she had made before, Shen Yuyao cut the fabric quickly without any pause.
Although Wu Yulan said she wanted to make a skirt just like hers, Shen Yuyao still made some slight adjustments.
Wu Yulan looks like a typical southern water town girl, not tall and a bit thin.
The dress that Shen Yuyao made for her adopted some Chinese elements, with a narrow stand-up collar, which felt a bit like a cheongsam.
Through Wu Yulan's description, Shen Yuyao knew that her younger sister had gained some weight after giving birth and her figure became a little plump, so she changed the collar to a round neck.
But this crew neck is no ordinary crew neck.
She cut the neckline one-third of the way down on one side and wove a wheat-ear-shaped button on it using scraps of cloth of the same color.
This button is movable and can be unbuttoned. But in fact, you can get in without unbuttoning it, which makes it more decorative.
It looks more distinctive.
While cutting, Shen Yuyao told Wu Yulan her ideas, which made Wu Yulan marvel again and again, her eyes shining, and she wanted Shen Yuyao to make another one for her.
When you have something to do, time passes quickly, and more than an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiaoyi turned over in bed and woke up groaning.
Wu Yulan hurried over and picked up the little guy.
When her son woke up, Shen Yuyao naturally put down the work in her hands and reached out to hug her son.
Wu Yulan held the little guy and moved to the side, saying, "You continue, I'll hold my son."
But the key point is that Xiaoyi, who had just woken up, was in a bad mood and didn't give his aunt any face at all.
Wu Yulan was very angry.
She simply turned around, picked up Xiaoyi and left.
He said, "I'll send it to Uncle Gu's house. I can't serve this kid, and I don't believe Uncle Gu can't serve him either!"
Now everyone in the building knows that the Shen and Gu families are as close as one family, and Dr. Gu treats Xiaoyi no differently from his own grandson.
Knowing that Wu Yulan was very interested at the moment, Shen Yuyao did not discourage her.
Seeing her walking away with her son in her arms, no one stopped her.
Wu Yulan came back soon, followed by Chen Xing.
Seeing Chen Xing, Shen Yuyao immediately said, "Xiao Xing, come here and I will teach you how to do the knot."
Children from poor families have to grow up early.
The children of the Gu family have been doing all kinds of housework since they were young. The older ones are no problem at all for sewing buttons and mending patches.
When Shen Yuyao was making clothes for them, the brothers Chen Xing and Chen Bing helped her a lot.
Now the two brothers are very skilled at sewing trouser edges and buttonholes.
Shen Yuyao made a pattern for the wheat ear buttonhole she was going to make and taught Chen Xing how to make it. Then she left him alone and picked up the piece of cloth she had just cut and went straight to the sewing machine.
Not only did Chen Xing make the buttons she requested, he also rummaged through the winnowing basket to find a few buttons of the right size, and used some scraps of cloth to make six buttons that would be more suitable for Chinese clothing.
Wu Yulan was amazed by the craftsmanship and said frankly that she could never make something like it.
With the cooperation of two people, the skirt was completed before the evening.
Wu Yulan tried it on the little sisters, and they were reluctant to take it off after putting it on.
She immediately asked their engineer Cheng to find a way to exchange some cloth coupons for her so that she could make another one in the same way!
The next day, Wu Yulan came to Shen's house again and secretly gave her three dollars as labor fee.
Shen Yuyao directly took out a piece and gave it to Chen Xing.
