In the blink of an eye, it was already halfway through the summer vacation. Shen Chi had been busy with farm work and selling ginseng in the previous month, and had not paid much attention to Sun Tao's homework. Now that he had some free time, he began to pay close attention to Sun Tao's homework. Not only did he finish the last bit of sixth grade He has completed the coursework and is now trying to take the first grade classes.
With Shen Chi's 2,500 yuan, Shen Aizhi went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a hemming machine and an iron, and then carried out the final hemming process on the clothes he had made.
She worked day and night by herself, and now she has made more than ten sets of clothes, half of them for adults and children.
It was a rainy day and everyone couldn't work. Sun Fuqiang and his wife had time to deliver food rations to Sun Tao. Shen Chi taught Sun Tao in the room. Liu Cuihua saw several sets of skirts in Shen Aizhi's workshop and couldn't put them down immediately. I picked one up and tried it on my body, but unfortunately she was too rich to wear it.
"Your skirt is so beautifully made, but it's a pity that it doesn't come in a large size." Liu Cuihua said regretfully.
This dress was designed by Shen Chi, so it is naturally much more fashionable than the current styles.
"This is not easy. I will measure the size for you and make another set." Shen Aizhi replied with a smile.
Liu Cuihua immediately asked Shen Aizhi to measure her size.
Shen Changlin, who was washing the pig pen to collect pig manure, and Shen Chi, who was tutoring Sun Tao, heard that Sun Fuqiang and the others were coming, and hurriedly came out to greet the guests.
Seeing that he was full of rice and meat, Shen Changlin immediately became unhappy and said, "I told you to stop taking things. Why don't you listen every time?"
"Xiao Tao has been living in your house for a long time. How dare we eat and drink for free?" Sun Fuqiang said with a smile.
"You are free to eat and drink, isn't Xiao Taozi also my godson?" Shen Changlin replied.
"Dad, all the land in your village has been dug this year, so I'm afraid there's no food to grow, right?" Shen Chi asked from the side.
"There's no food to buy, and I can't make much money from planting all year round." After taking the measurements, Liu Cuihua came out of Shen Aizhi's workshop and replied after hearing Shen Chi's words.
He smiled and said, "Miss Aizhi's tailoring skills are pretty good. I think the clothes she makes are better-looking than those bought in the mall."
Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she asked Shen Changlin as if she had thought of something: "I wonder if she is accepting people? My eldest girl Sun Ling has been idle at home for two years, and I want her to learn a trade."
When Shen Chi heard that her aunt's small clothing factory was short of people, she immediately said, "Yes, Sister Ling can come over at any time."
After saying that, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said to Liu Cuihua: "Godmother, do you want to find a job when you have nothing to do? My aunt is in short supply of hairdressers, like today when it rains and has nothing to do, I can come to help and give you piecework. The more work you do, the more you will get."
"What kind of headwear?" Liu Cuihua asked curiously.
Shen Chi simply took her to her aunt's workshop, and her aunt taught her simple crafts such as splicing, banding, and sewing.
Liu Cuihua has a sewing machine at home, and she can immediately tell: "This is simple."
Immediately I picked up the rag and started sewing, and soon I was able to make it look good.
Liu Cuihua just came to deliver some food to her son. Unexpectedly, she helped Shen Aizhi all afternoon at Shen Chi's house. She was very quick with her hands and feet and made twenty or thirty bows in one afternoon. Shen Aizhi wanted to settle her wages. Liu Cui waved her hand and said, "Today is just practice. Next time, let's get serious about calculating wages."
Sun Fuqiang chatted with Shen Changlin all afternoon, and he refused to give up and once again asked Shen Changlin to dig crystals in their Tangsun Village. A day of digging was worth selling vegetables for several days, but Shen Changlin finally felt that digging Crystal hasn't planted its own soil well yet.
When it was almost time to eat, the couple stood up to say goodbye. Shen Changlin asked them to stay for dinner, but they refused: "There are three girls at home, so we have to go back and cook."
Before leaving, Liu Cuihua once again confirmed that she wanted her eldest daughter to help, and Shen Aizhi agreed with a smile.
Sun Ling came over the next day, and Shen Aizhi taught her the basic wiring first. Fortunately, Shen Aizhi's cloth had many ends and needed to be spliced into strips, which was perfect for her to practice on.
With Sun Ling coming to help, Shen Aizhi felt a lot more relaxed for a while. When Shen Changlin finished his work in the field and went out to sell the stall, Shen Aizhi found a suitcase and carefully folded the clothes he had made. So I put it in the box, took the headdress and flowers I made these days, and followed Shen Changlin out of the stall.
Because it was the first time to sell clothes, Shen Aizhi felt a little nervous.
In order to facilitate display, Shen Changlin specially made a stand for her. Once the clothes were hung, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Although the market where Shen Changlin sells vegetables is mainly for wholesale, because the prices are cheaper than other markets, many housewives come from far away to buy here, so it also sells vegetables.
Less than ten minutes after the display, someone came to ask how to sell the clothes. When they heard that the clothes cost nearly 20 yuan, which was already half a month's salary of an ordinary worker, many people shook their heads and put them down, but it was the headgear. Sold a lot.
When the crowds gradually increased in the morning, Shen Aizhi's stall was finally filled with people. At this time, Shen Changlin had to help Shen Aizhi.
After a young daughter-in-law reluctantly bought an orange floral dress, Shen Aizhi's stall finally opened.
The effect of the dress on the upper body was really great, and it fit the woman's body perfectly. Everyone loves beauty, so after much hesitation, she finally gritted her teeth and bought it.
After buying clothes, she and Shen Changlin bought some vegetables from Shen Changlin's stall.
This is how business is done. As soon as it opened, business came one after another. In less than two hours, four or five of Shen Changzhi's dresses were sold.
At this time, two more women came to look at the clothes, but when they asked about the price, they turned around and left.
When Shen Aizhi saw it, she quickly stopped the two of them and said, "Sister, are there any children at home who will be in the first grade of junior high school this year?"
When Shen Aizhi asked this question, the two of them really stopped in their tracks.
"Sister, I also have children's clothing for the children who are in the first grade of junior high school." He quickly took out two sets, one for boys and one for girls: "This is a happy event for the children to go to junior high school. There must be many classmates in the class. Now that they are wearing new clothes, the two eldest sisters should also buy a set for their children."
White shirt, dark blue butterfly skirt, and a bow on the chest, simple yet delicate.
The details of that men's suit were also exquisitely processed, unlike today's clothes and trousers, which are all straight-cut.
"How do you sell these clothes?" one of them asked.
"Fifteen." Shen Aizhi replied.
The two of them still thought it was a little expensive, and Shen Aizhi said again: "Sister, look at the material of this dress, and our clothes are all designed and made by ourselves. I can guarantee that you will never find the same style as this anywhere else." of. "
Under Shen Aizhi's persuasion, the two finally bought a set of skirts each. I feel sorry for parents. Others have children. Even if they don't eat or drink, they must try their best to satisfy their children. If Shen Aizhi can succeed in these two businesses, , but she accurately captured the heart of being a parent.
