Break out of the courtyard

"Eldest cousin, if I accept you as my apprentice, then I can call your father my eldest brother and my mother my second sister, hehe..."

"Be serious!" Her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, gave Zhang Heping a slap in the face and emphasized, "No joking!"

Zhang Heping put down the steamed buns and chopsticks, tugged at the corner of his clothes, then turned to the right, faced Ma Lili who was a little overwhelmed, and said sternly: "As the saying goes, teach the disciples to starve the master to death. It doesn't matter if the master doesn't do it."

puff...

"Ha ha……"

"Zhang Pandi, be serious! I am testing my apprentice's character!"

"Ouch! I'm laughing so hard, haha..." Zhang Pandi covered her stomach and leaned on the eldest sister who was smiling at the corner of her mouth.

Zhang Heping was hit on the head again by his mother, Ma Xiuzhen. She wondered if she was jealous that her son was getting smarter.

"Cousin, my family made a joke and you feel uncomfortable. How can you set up a stall at the door in the future?"

Zhang Heping took the water cup with a smile and put it aside, "There is no need for tea to honor the teacher. I have only studied for a few days and don't have much to teach you."

After being rejected by Zhang Heping, Ma Lili fell into confusion again, but the new clothes on her body were like a beacon, guiding her flickering in front of her, allowing her to vaguely find the direction of the future.

"Dad, how much money did you make today?" Zhang Heping suddenly said, and Master Zhang, who was working silently, immediately became the focus of the dinner table.

"Don't be nervous! I won't confiscate your money." Zhang Heping winked at Ma Xiuzhen with a smile.

Then, Ma Xiuzhen, who had just finished her meal, walked over, searched Lao Zhang all over, grabbed a handful of pennies and counted them on the ground.

Zhang Heping looked at his father Zhang Bing with a half-smile, and glanced at his left foot intentionally or unintentionally, causing Zhang Bing to cough twice unnaturally.

"Two yuan, six cents and three cents, and one yuan is the change prepared for the stall." Ma Xiuzhen said, putting a stack of cents back into Zhang Bing's coat pocket, and placed the other stack of cents in front of Zhang Heping, " Here it’s 2 yuan 6 cents.”

"In other words, the shoe repair stall run by Comrade Lao Zhang in the street earned 1 yuan and 6 cents today." Zhang Heping gave the money on the table to Ma Xiuzhen, and then explained to his grandfather Ma Changming:

"After the public-private partnership, many urbanites could not find jobs. They had food supplies but no money to buy them."

"Later on, a method of affiliation was introduced. As long as small vendors and craftsmen are affiliated with the street office and pay some management fees every month, it will be regarded as public property."

"Although these people don't have welfare tickets from factories or work units, they still make less money." Zhang Heping said, then looked at his father Zhang Bing and smiled:

"So, don't look at my dad who has been quiet these days. He has made a lot of money. He may still have some private money that he has not paid."

"Ahem!" Zhang Bing took his crutches and walked away, "I'm going out for a walk."

"Your dad still has money?" Ma Xiuzhen approached Zhang Heping and asked in a low voice, "Where is it hidden?"

"Comrade Lao Zhang has been on the battlefield and served as a platoon leader. He is cunning and cunning!" Zhang Heping looked at the two sisters and suddenly turned his gun, "Mom, do you think they will rebel to dad's side?" go?"

Ma Xiuzhen looked at the two girls who were collecting the bowls and retreating, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let the three of them save it first, and you talk about your cousin first."

Zhang Heping glanced at his thoughtful grandfather, then looked at his eldest cousin who had not yet reacted, and said:

"If you want to stay in the city, you have to find something that makes money. Let your future in-laws see your abilities and know that you are not a drag."

"I think it would be good to set up a stall at the door to do sewing business. Did a lot of people come to ask this afternoon?"

Seeing his eldest cousin Ma Lili nodding in response, Zhang Heping continued: "Everyone can sew a simple patch."

"But wouldn't it be less ugly if we sewed flowers and other patterns on the holes?" Zhang Heping said, taking the bows, flowers and other accessories he had made before, throwing them on the dining table, and continued said:

"When there is no business, my eldest cousin can use rags to make these small accessories to practice and sell them as headbands and armbands."

"I will make the remaining cloth at home first, and then hang it at the stall to attract customers who make clothes."

"If I can get some fabrics to make clothes, I can gradually let my eldest cousin start making clothes."

Ma Changming looked at the light in his granddaughter's eyes and said, "Sanwazi, I will carry your sister's rations to your family every month, and the money she earns from setting up the stall will also belong to you, just like those apprentices..."

"Grandpa, stop it!" Zhang Heping said sternly: "My eldest cousin has to pay rations when she comes to eat at my house. When my mother and I return to Majiatun, do we need to prepare our own dry food tents?"

"She is my mother's biological niece. I regard her as my biological sister. I feel sorry for her to marry so early, so I would spend time learning to be a tailor. Otherwise, I would not touch women's toys."

"You don't know, after my mother and sister got the cloth, they had a lot of fun playing with the sewing machine, but their skills were a bit poor and a lot of cloth was wasted."

Ma Xiuzhen reached out and touched her son Zhang Heping's little head, and resisted the idea of ​​hitting him. The brat did a good job this time.

"Dad, the hard days are over. Our family is not short of food now. If you leave those rations at home, treat it as saving it for us." Ma Xiuzhen looked at her father, Ma Changming, and continued:

"As for Lily, I will raise her as my own daughter. You go back and let your eldest brother and sister-in-law rest assured."

"Grandpa, if you are afraid that your eldest cousin's food is not ready, you can still bring some meat to see her every month, hehe!"

……

The next day, Zhang Heping gave 5 yuan and 5 industrial coupons to his eldest cousin Ma Lili, and asked his father Zhang Bing to take her to buy a wooden ruler, a soft ruler, a marking powder for tailors, as well as white paper and pencils.

He also asked Lao Zhang to go to the street office and set up a tailor stall in the name of his eldest daughter Zhang Zhaodi.

My grandfather sold the leopard skin to the supply and marketing cooperative for 28 yuan.

When her eldest cousin Ma Lili handed Zhang Heping more than 30 yuan and 4.5 industrial coupons, Zhang Heping only took back 5 yuan and industrial coupons.

After his grandfather returned, Zhang Heping officially taught his eldest cousin Ma Lili, his mother and sister how to make white shirts and green military uniforms.

Because the fabric was limited, Zhang Heping first drew a pattern of the clothes and explained each part of the clothes to his cousin, mother, and sister, explaining how to measure the sizes. He also made a table for daily recording of each customer's various parts. size.

After they understood the pattern and size, Zhang Heping asked them to draw lines on the fabric with powder cake, and taught them how to use the small parts of the clothes and rotate the angles of the clothes parts to maximize the use of the space on the fabric.

Just teach and draw repeatedly like this, and then let them watch Zhang Heping operate at the stall and attract passers-by to watch.

After doing this for more than ten days, the two sisters finally wore two shirts, two green military tops, and two pairs of green military pants, and they became models for the tailor stall.

May 5, Saturday morning.

Zhang Heping took his eldest cousin Ma Lili to count the remaining fabrics. The white cloth was enough to make three shirts, and the green cloth was only enough to make one top.

Later, Zhang Heping gave his eldest cousin a weekend homework to make a shirt for herself!

From measuring the dimensions to marking the fabric, to cutting, and subsequent stitching and sewing, everything is done independently by my eldest cousin Ma Lili. My mother, Ma Xiuzhen, and the other two are responsible for the preliminary review of each step, and Zhang Heping is responsible for the final review.

Then, Zhang Heping took the slingshot and went out to walk the dog.

By the way, after he hits a birdie now, he always directs Laifu to pick up the bird, and by the way, he can increase his dog training skill proficiency.

However, by operating in this way, the proficiency of dog training skills increases very slowly.

"Your dad offended Zhang Heping badly last time! That boy has been painting for so long, and your dad just painted it white when he said it would! I feel uncomfortable just looking at it, let alone that boy!"

"Now, you still want to invite him to your house to paint murals. With that kid's arrogant attitude towards Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu, I guess I'm very worried!"

"Money? How much does your father plan to give?"

Perception: Mastery (43%).
