Jiang Nan passed by the street and saw that the fruit farmer who was selling watermelons was still setting up a stall there. She went over and bought two more watermelons, packed them in mesh bags, tied them to her bicycle and returned to the village.
As soon as I arrived at the wheat field, I saw Xu Yuqin and Lu Xiaoyue stacking wheat.
During the busy farming season, school has not yet been closed, and Xu Yuqin harvests almost all the wheat at home.
Jiang Nan pushed her bicycle and greeted them, "Aunt Xu, are you harvesting the wheat?"
Xu Yuqin said, "It's not completely yellow yet, so I cut a few bundles."
"I bought two watermelons. You take one and I'll give one to my aunt."
"What kind of watermelon are you buying? During the day, people in the village came to exchange for watermelon. I exchanged ten pounds of wheat for it." Xu Yuqin said, "Give it to your aunt. She was reluctant to exchange it for grain, so she gave it all to Qingqing and Xiaoyu."
"Let's go home and let Xiaoyue take it."
Xu Yuqin directly handed the bag of watermelons to Lu Xiaoyue and asked her to send it to Lu Huifang's house.
Lu Xiaoyue was much more obedient than before. She took the watermelon and turned around to go to her aunt's house.
On the way home, Jiang Nan said to Xu Yuqin, "Aunt Xu, I want to tell you good news."
"What news? Did Xiaozheng believe it?"
"right."
"Really?" Xu Yuqin looked at her in disbelief, "Nannan, Xiaozheng really believes it?"
She just asked casually and subconsciously without any hope.
"He is working part-time. He said he would come back after making money, so don't worry."
Xu Yuqin asked eagerly, "Where do you work? Who did you listen to?"
Jiang Nan replied, "In the county town, in short, everything is fine with him now, so don't worry."
"Nan Nan, you didn't lie to me?" Xu Yuqin grabbed Jiang Nan's hand excitedly, "Take me to him quickly."
Xu Yuqin was so excited that she really wanted to go to the county town to find Xu Zheng. Jiang Nan hurriedly tried to persuade her, "He said he would come back after his salary was paid. He was afraid that you would call him, so he didn't tell him the address. He is a young man and should practice outside.
Just don’t worry.”
Because of the news about Xu Zheng, the atmosphere at home finally became relaxed and cheerful. Mr. Lu and Lu Shengmin finally felt relieved after learning that Xu Zheng was working in the county town.
For so many years, they had treated Xu Zheng as their own child, and they were very worried when he left without saying goodbye.
Xu Yuqin picked a lot of vegetables from her own land and stewed rice.
Lu Xiaoyue heard that Jiang Nan had found her second brother, and she was completely impressed by Jiang Nan.
In the past, she always felt that her family praised her too highly, but after experiencing so many things, she had to admit that Jiang Nan was really smarter, more diligent, and more capable than other girls of the same age.
Moreover, he is not proud and does not take credit for anything he does.
If it were her, not to mention such a big contribution to finding the second brother, she would have to ask her mother to buy her a popsicle just to wash the pot.
After dinner, Jiang Nan was about to go back to her old house, but Lu Xiaoyue stopped her awkwardly.
"Is something wrong?"
Lu Xiaoyue hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Didn't you say you would introduce me to a tailor who would like to learn tailoring?"
Lu Xiaoyue added, "It's Officer Qin's sister. Have you mentioned to her about accepting me as your disciple?"
Jiang Nan shook his head, "She may not open a tailor shop anymore."
Lu Xiaoyue was surprised, "Ah? Didn't she come back after studying? Why didn't she open a tailor shop?"
"She is probably going to the city, so she won't be able to teach you."
"Are you going to the city?" Why are they all going to the city one by one?
Jiang Nan looked at her disappointed look and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to be a tailor?"
"If you learn how to tailor, you can wear a lot of beautiful clothes and make money at the same time."
"Do you think you are suitable to be a tailor? This cannot be done on a whim."
"Of course it's suitable. I like making clothes." Lu Xiaoyue said with a proud look, "I have used my mother's sewing machine to make many pieces. Do you want to see the old clothes that I have altered? I will also alter them for Qingqing.
I got a shirt."
"Okay, let me take a look." Jiang Nan rarely wanted to see the clothes she made. Of course, Lu Xiaoyue was happy and took her to her room.
She took out several pieces of clothing made from old clothes and sheets from the kang cabinet and showed them to Jiang Nan.
"This is all my practice." After saying that, he looked at Jiang Nan nervously, waiting for her to make a comment.
Jiang Nan looked at the tailored clothes that Lu Xiaoyue took out and was surprised, "Did you come up with this style yourself?"
This dress looks quite thoughtful.
Lu Xiaoyue said, "I saw people on TV changing the styles they wore, and I wanted to make something like this for myself, but unfortunately I didn't have money to buy fabric."
Old clothes that have been remade cannot be worn out.
The fabric is too old-fashioned.
Jiang Nan is illiterate with needlework and has never been able to sew or mend since she was a child. Even the sandbags she sewed as a child were leaky, so she was ridiculed as a fool who couldn't get married when she grew up.
Therefore, she admired Lu Xiaoyue's self-taught skills.
Everyone has an area of expertise, even someone like Lu Xiaoyue, who is lazy and has a bad temper, still has a pair of dexterous hands.
She looked at the clothes and affirmed her craftsmanship, "It's pretty good."
Jiang Nan finally affirmed her, and Lu Xiaoyue pushed further and said tentatively, "Jiang Nan, can you introduce me to a tailor in the city? The clothes made by the tailors in the city will definitely be better."
"Made-to-measure clothes are no longer popular in the city. People buy ready-made clothes."
"Then, where are the ready-made clothes made?" Lu Xiaoyue asked curiously.
"Garment factory."
Lu Xiaoyue asked, "Can I go to the clothing factory?"
Meeting her expectant gaze, Jiang Nan snorted coldly, "You're so lazy and so stinky, what kind of clothing factory would dare to hire you?"
Jiang Nan once again accused her of being too lazy to make a scandal, which made Lu Xiaoyue furious, "I've changed everything!"
"Who knows whether it has been changed or not? It will be revealed again in two days."
"you......."
Jiang Nan said this, but he actually saw Lu Xiaoyue's changes.
If she could continue in this state, she would be willing to introduce her to a job in a clothing factory.
After a moment of pause, she said, "When I enter the city, I will ask you about it."
If she didn't introduce a job to Lu Xiaoyue, this stupid girl would be taken away by her cousin sooner or later, and the tragedy of her previous life would happen again.
When Lu Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your letter, and you can give me some snacks."
...
The next day, because the family was busy with farming, Jiang Nan did not ask Lu Huifang to help set up the stall. She rode her bicycle, tied a nylon bag to the back seat, and rode to the county town.
Qin Feng and Qin Yun were waiting at the Grand Cross early.
Qin Yun took off her mask today and seemed to be in a good mood.
Jiang Nan's encouragement and guidance yesterday worked.
"You two came very early."
Qin Yun said, "Sister-in-law, my brother mentioned that there are stalls outside the market and there is a lot of traffic."
"Okay, anyway, this dress needs to go to a place where there are many aunties."
Girls in the county are all pursuing fashion, wearing jeans, denim skirts and stockings.
Qin Feng looked at the nylon bag of clothes and started to complain again, "Why are you wearing these old-fashioned clothes? It's hard to get into the city, but you don't know how to come back with something fashionable."
"I want to be safe. How many fashionable ones can I sell? I want to make money. I will do whatever is in high demand."
Qin Feng was immediately speechless when he thought of Jiang Nan's profit from setting up a stall.
She did the right thing, doing whatever was in high demand, all for the sake of making money.
Qin Feng pushed the bicycle with the nylon bag tied on it, and the three of them stopped at the entrance of the market. "This is it. Everyone who is going to the market will have to go in here."
There are no cars on the street and there is no urban management. After a while, this place will be occupied by people selling agricultural and sideline products.
They arrived early, quickly spread out the sheets, piled pants on them, propped up the shelves, and started shouting.
Jiang Nan and Qin Yun also put on fitness pants.
Qin Yun was still very cautious at first. She always felt panicked when she saw the endless stream of people going to the market. With Jiang Nan's comfort and guidance, her mood gradually relaxed.
Qin Feng saw the older girls and younger wives coming over. They were shouting loudly, and they were simply the owners of the stalls.
