Within two days, the families in the school also knew that Chen Xiumei did not charge cloth coupons for making clothes for their children and that the prices were reasonable.

By the 15th, Chen Xiumei had already received more than thirty sets of custom-made clothes.

On the 16th, the three of them went to the textile factory in the city, and Xu Aiqun helped them collect seven sacks of scraps of cloth.

Some are even two or three feet long.

When she saw the three sets of clothes she brought for the child, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Big sister, do you have any more of these clothes at home?"

Chen Xiumei shook her head: "There is no ready-made one, and it is too late to make the ones that others have ordered."

Xu Aiqin continued, "Let me tell you, my cousin and his wife both work in the steel plant, both of them are employed."

"The wages in their factory are much higher than ours. When they see these clothes, they will definitely like them."

As soon as these words fell, Xu Zijin's eyes lit up: "Sister Xu, is there anyone doing this business? We can do it and find someone to sell it."

Xu Aiqin smiled: "Yes! My little brother, he likes to sell small things, and he has a group of little brothers."

Hahaha.

What is this called?

What does it mean when you are about to doze off and someone hands you a pillow?

Xu Zijin spoke confidently: "Aren't you getting married on the 20th? We'll bring some clothes over then!"

Number 20?

"Can you make it?"

Xu Aiqin's eyes lit up.

Xu Zijin smiled and said, "It's still in time, don't worry!"

Chen Xiumei stammered, but finally said nothing.

It was not until the three of them had loaded the scraps of cloth onto the cart that she asked, "Zijin, are we still in time?"

Xu Zijin had a sunny face: "It's not too late. Sister Xiaolian's craftsmanship is also good. I also heard that Qiu Aihong can also make clothes."

"When we get home, call them all over."

"You can cut the clothes, get five sizes, let them watch you make a set, and then ask them to take it home and make it."

"We'll pay you two dollars for each set you complete."

so?

Chen Xiumei immediately looked at Xu Zijin with admiration: "Zijin, it's your brain that counts! I couldn't even think of it."

Xu Zijin smiled but did not answer. How could she be smart?

She was able to have these thoughts at the cost of a lifetime of pain and hardship.

They did what they said. As soon as they got home, the three of them called Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Aihong.

When the two heard that they were asked for help, they were immediately happy.

"Xiumei, don't worry, we will definitely satisfy you!"

Qiu Aihong said seriously.

Chen Xiumei waved her hand and said, "Don't say that. We are all sisters. We asked you to come here because we trust you."

"The wages aren't high, but if I can do one set every day, it won't be a problem."

There aren’t many varieties of this kind of children’s clothes. If you’re quick with your hands and feet and work overtime, you should be able to make one set in a day.

Two dollars a set, and you can earn two dollars a day.

That’s sixty dollars a month!

The income is higher than working in an ordinary factory.

Just thinking about it makes Qiu Aihong excited.

She knew that the sisterhood would call her, which meant that they trusted her.

"Please teach us how to do it, and we can start working today."

Chen Xiumei immediately sat down, put several sets of semi-finished products that had been assembled and locked at hand, and started to work...

"This overlock machine is really great! Xiumei, where did you buy it? It's not cheap, is it?"

Qiu Aihong asked as she watched.

Chen Xiumei didn't know where Xu Zijin got this overlock machine from: "It's not mine, it's Zijin's sister's."

"She said this thing is expensive, more than two hundred yuan per piece."

"More than two hundred?"

Qiu Aihong screamed: "This is too expensive!"

At this time, Qi Hong, who was doing the hem work, said, "This isn't expensive. I heard that more than 200 yuan is the internal price."

"This machine is not available in the provincial capital now. It is said that it was brought from Hong Kong. I am afraid it will cost less than three or four hundred yuan outside. It is impossible to buy it."

Three or four hundred...

Thinking about the price, Qiu Aihong was secretly shocked: Not everyone can afford this!

There were four people specializing in making clothes, and Xu Zijin would also help out for two or three hours during the day, so they made a lot of clothes in a few days.

Especially Zhu Xiaolian, who is dexterous and hardworking, and can do two sets a day.

She worked overtime in the evening and completed ten sets by herself in just four days.

Qiu Aihong was also good, she did eight sets.

On the morning of the 20th, the three sisters took Deputy Commander Yang's car to the farm. Xu Aiqin and Fang Wei were holding their wedding here today.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly."

Xu Aiqin was dressed in new clothes, and her three children were also dressed in new clothes.

Fang Wei was looking forward to this wedding. He not only cleaned the dormitory several times, but also repainted the walls with lime.

There were two big "囍" characters pasted on the window.

The farm is large and Fang Wei is the deputy director. This one-story bungalow has four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, with an area of ​​at least 160 square meters.

"Sister Xu, you look so beautiful today. You are blessed."

Xu Aiqun is thirty-three this year, older than these people.

When Chen Xiumei praised her, she blushed and said, "Thanks to everyone, we should get along like sisters in the future."

"Of course! This is a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

Chen Xiumei has a straightforward personality and agreed readily.

As soon as Xu Aiqun saw the red envelope they handed over, she refused to take it.

"I heard from Lao Fang that it's not customary to give gifts when getting married in the military. You can take this back. The sisters are here to give me the greatest face."

"Also, I will cook some home-cooked dishes for lunch today, and you must give me some thanks."

She refused to take it, and everyone felt embarrassed to force it on her.

Gift-giving is all about reciprocity.

Xu Aiqin and his wife were very sincere and had three tables for lunch.

One table was for Xu Aiqin’s sisters from the factory, one table was for Fang Wei’s comrades from the farm, and one table was for them.

Today Fang Weixin had his hair cut and beard trimmed, and he looked refreshed.

Xu Aiqun standing beside him gave people the feeling that they were a perfect match.

"Congratulations to both of you!"

The couple came to toast, and everyone stood up and wished them well with all their hearts.

Fang Wei looked at everyone and raised his glass respectfully: "I, Fang Wei, am grateful for what I have today! Thank you!"

“Although there is no good treat, I hope you enjoy your meal!”

After that, drink it all in one gulp.

Seeing the happiness on Fang Wei's face, Zhao Hongying spoke up: "Live a good life. We are also happy that you are happy."

"Fang Wei, bring your wife and children to our house more often."

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

Fang Wei's eyes turned red and he nodded vigorously.

Compared with the banquets in later generations, this meal was really simple.

However, in this era, it also reflects the sincerity of this couple.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. After the meal, tea and candies were served. Everyone took a candy, hoping to get a share of the couple's good fortune.

After dinner, Xu Aiqun’s colleagues were leaving, and the couple saw them off.

Xu Zijin wanted to go to the toilet, and Hong Xiaoyan immediately stepped forward to lead the way: "Thank you, teacher, we like this dad very much."
