Break out of the courtyard

"Now that you have accepted this business, you must do a good job and not ruin your own brand."

Zhang Heping decided to start this business because collecting fabrics at the sewing stall to make clothes was different from going to Lou's house to paint murals.

My eldest cousin Ma Lili’s sewing stall is a public business run by the street, and it is a serious business.

It's just that one piece of cloth only makes 4 pieces of clothing, and then the sewing stall collects the remaining cloth as payment. This is somewhat unjustifiable and will make outsiders think that the cost of making clothes is too high!

The best way is to make all the pieces of cloth and then collect the due craft fees.

Besides, my eldest cousin Ma Lili needs this piece of cloth to practice her skills.

"Cousin, haven't your shirts been finished yet?" Zhang Heping changed the subject and prepared to check the weekend homework of his eldest cousin Ma Lili.

"It'll be fine in the afternoon!" My eldest cousin Ma Lili hurriedly ran out to make her shirt.

Zhang Heping touched the white cotton with yellow flowers on the kang, and many styles of women's clothes, pants and skirts flashed in his mind.

Afterwards, Zhang Heping took a pen and paper and went to the small coffee table outside to draw clothes patterns, preparing to publicly use the piece of cloth at the sewing stall with great fanfare and start his family's clothing-making skills.

In the afternoon, after Zhang Heping inspected the shirt Ma Lili made for her, he reluctantly nodded and let her hang it on the hanger under the beam of the bamboo shed.

Then, Zhang Heping asked his eldest cousin to take out Lou Xiao'e's piece of white cotton with yellow flowers. Taking advantage of the crowd after get off work and the fact that it was getting dark late, he unsealed the piece of cloth in public.

Then, she asked her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, and her three sisters to work together to unfold the cloth and pull it out for more than ten meters, causing many people to exclaim with envy and keep asking about the origin of the cloth.

Looking at that posture, it seems that if you can't explain why, you will be reported.

Zhang Heping took a wooden ruler and pretended to measure the size of the cloth. When he saw many people gathered around him, he stood in front of the bamboo shed and said loudly:

"Dear neighbors! This is a 40-foot cloth from the new wife of Xu Damao, the projectionist in our courtyard..."

As soon as Zhang Heping said this, there was an uproar in the surrounding area, and everyone was asking who Xu Damao was and who his wife was.

Zhang Heping signaled his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, and the others to roll back the cloth, and then said loudly: "She asked our cousin sewing stall to make some clothes for her. After they are made, we will hang them under the bamboo shed and display them for a few days. Please wait and see!" "

After a wave of free advertising went out, Zhang Heping called on his family to close the stall.

After dinner, Zhang Heping took out a picture of Ms. Zhang's clothes and asked his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, and his three sisters to choose from them. He then ran to wash the dishes and disinfect the silver needle from last night.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the capture of Luding Bridge. I wonder how the Lou family will respond to this crisis!

……

The next day, everything was calm.

Only in the morning, I saw a stranger running into the hospital and hurriedly took Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e out. I didn't see them come back at night.

It has been so peaceful for 3 days...

On Children's Day, Zhang Heping wore a red scarf, went to school for a face-to-face meeting, and ran home early.

Then, next to the sewing stall, he gave instructions to his eldest cousin Ma Lili to make a second piece of women's clothing for Lou Xiao'e.

The fabric cutting process needs to be focused on display, so that potential customers around him can see his space layout skills, which can save fabrics to the maximum extent, avoid waste, and prevent their fabrics from being occupied by sewing stalls.

For this reason, the small bamboo basket that Zhang Heping brought back from Majiatun was also filled with fabric for Ma Lili.

At noon, Zhang Heping saw Xu Damao coming back with a haggard look. Looking at his smoky appearance, he looked like he had just come out of a fire.

After lunch, Xu Damao changed into a white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes after taking a shower. He walked to the stall and took a look at the women's top with lotus leaf collar and three-quarter sleeves on the hanger, and then looked at the dress Ma Lili was cutting. Wearing cotton with yellow patterns on a white background, he asked Zhang Heping:

"Are you making clothes for Lou Xiao'e?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Heping stared at Bu and responded casually.

Xu Damao suddenly grabbed Zhang Heping's shoulders, pulled him back to the wall, and whispered: "On the night of the 28th, someone smashed kerosene bottles into the Lou family's house and burned it down. In order to save the painting painted by Xian, Lou Bancheng flew away The painting of Luding Bridge was burned into pieces and is still lying in the hospital."

"They won't ask you to paint murals anymore. That matter is over. Let me tell you, we brothers can't be divided because of the Lou family's affairs. We must unite to avoid being bullied by Yi Zhonghai, Shazhu and the others in the courtyard. Bullying, you know?"

Zhang Heping shocked Lou Bancheng with his ruthless determination. He actually set fire to his villa, and even staged a painful show to save the painting. He looked like a hero!

Unfortunately, times have changed now!

Besides, no matter how ruthless Lou Bancheng is, he still has a family. As long as he abides by the unspoken rules of not harming his family, Zhang Heping will not be afraid of him!

"Brother Damao, look what you said, wasn't it because I was afraid that you would be caught in the middle, so I ignored you on purpose?" Zhang Heping said with a smile:

"Tell me, while I'm having a heated fight with you, I'm also having a cold war with your wife and father-in-law. How do you live in the middle?"

"It's all over!" Xu Damao patted Zhang Heping on the shoulder happily, "I still have a few pieces of cloth at home. After you finish your exams and have a vacation, come to my house and help me carve pictures of going to the countryside. My dad also wants to A bamboo carving of a family portrait.”

"That's no problem! But you have to find a way to get the bamboo back first. I'll be a little busy after the holidays!"

"How about I ask the third uncle to get it?"

"It doesn't matter, try to find thicker bamboo."

……

Capital Shuitan Hospital, Burn Department, Ward 202.

"Dad, that painting has been sent away, why are you still looking gloomy?"

Lou Bancheng ignored his eldest son's words, turned to look at Lou Xiao'e, and asked: "Xiao'e, after you gave the cloth away, did the Zhang family make clothes for you?"

"It should be done!" Lou Xiao'e said uncertainly: "On the afternoon of the 28th, I saw them taking the piece of cloth to the alley and unfolding it, and then said in public that they would help me make clothes."

"The next day I heard that something happened at home, so Damao and I came back to help. We haven't gone back these days. But, Dad..." Lou Xiao'e came to the bedside and whispered:

"Why are all the gold and silver jewelry hidden in the mezzanine of the wall of my room missing? Damao and I smashed the wall on the second floor..."

Lou Bancheng waved his hand, interrupting Lou Xiao'e's questioning, "Go back to the courtyard and see if they have made clothes. If they make clothes for you, just follow what I said before, no matter how good or bad they are, only take four pieces."

"If they are willing to accept the remaining cloth, our family and the Zhang family will be able to bury the hatchet. From now on, you will live in the courtyard and don't provoke the Zhang family. They have a ruthless man who knows kung fu."

After Lou Xiao'e left, Lou Bancheng asked his wife to guard the door, and then called his two sons to sit close to him.

Lou Bancheng said sternly: "Wenru, you will take Renren and those boxes of belongings to Tianjin Port tonight. The ship at the port over there is ready. You must establish a foothold on Hong Kong Island. This is related to The wealth and lives of more than a hundred of our Lou family, old and young!"

"Dad! Let the second child go, I'll stay at home with you!" Lou Wenru, the eldest son of the Lou family, sat on the empty bed next door, holding the bed with his hands, frowning and said: "I still can't understand why people are sent to Hong Kong Island. The second child usually I listen to you the most and let him go!"

Lou Bancheng stared at his eldest son and said angrily: "It's because my second son is obedient that I keep him by my side. If there is any danger, we can leave as soon as we say!"

"If it were you, I would have to explain to you for a long time, and I don't know how much time it would take to escape!"

Lou Wenru said nonchalantly: "Isn't the domestic situation very good now? The painting was sent out, and the person also responded, so that you can feel at ease..."

"Shut up!" Lou Bancheng was so angry that he looked a little ferocious with the scars on his face. "I'll tell you again, it's a matter of life and death for all of us in the Lou family. Do you understand?"
