The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xu Xiufang carefully confirmed their needs again: "You want bell-bottom pants, bat shirts, and suit jackets, right..."

The thinner girl waved her hands hastily, her cheeks slightly red, and said apologetically: "Forget about the suit jacket, I don't have enough money."

Xu Xiufang smiled gently: "No problem, then your total price is 39 yuan."

Then, Xu Xiufang turned to another girl and said, "You want a suit jacket and wide-leg pants. Have you ever thought about a shirt? It is also very fashionable when paired with a suit jacket."

The girl answered without hesitation: "Yes!"

Xu Xiufang then took out an oil paper bag, which was a relatively precious packaging material at the time and most businesses were reluctant to use it.

The girls looked at the bag curiously and were surprised to find the three words "One in a Hundred" written in a casual manner with a brush on it.

"This is our brand name, inspired by 'one in a hundred', which means that every piece of clothing we offer is a carefully selected product."

Xu Xiufang explained with a smile.

The girls were full of praise for the name and also admired Xu Xiufang's smooth handwriting.

In Xiaoxi Village, Xu Xiufang is well-known for her calligraphy skills. She smiled and handed over the oil paper bag: "If you like it, you can also invite relatives and friends to take a look."

The girl took the bag and asked, "Will you always set up a stall here?"

Xu Xiufang shook her head and explained to the girls and the people around her: "We make all our clothes by hand, and the quantity of each batch is limited. After selling this batch, we don't know when we will set up a stall next time, or even if we will come here again. If you like something, it's best to decide as soon as possible."

These words, like a stone thrown into calm water, triggered a buying frenzy among the people around. Everyone rushed forward, no longer caring about the price, just to get the clothes they liked.

"Comrade, I also want a bat shirt exactly like the one you're wearing!"

"I want a suit jacket too!"

"This dress is so beautiful, can you tell me the price?"

Xie Chunyan and Zhou Dani immediately got busy, and Fang Kai also joined the packing team. While they were explaining the products in detail, they were also serving the customers skillfully. The scene was bustling with activity.

Of course, not everyone will make a deal. Some people find the price a bit high after trying it on, and after thinking it over, they choose to leave.

But there are more people who were just curious and watching at first, but when trying on the clothes, they unexpectedly found that they fit perfectly in these clothes, and finally couldn't resist their inner love and made decisive purchases.

As a result, in just one afternoon, all the 42 sets of clothing that Xu Xiufang and her friends brought, except for the demonstration items they were wearing, were sold out!

Xu Xiufang and her group were delighted and began to pack up their stall, preparing to return home with a full load.

The children were playing in the small courtyard of their home. When they saw them return, they immediately ran over happily like little deer and rushed into the adults' arms.

Inside the house, Xie Yi was attracted by the noise outside and walked out.

As soon as Xu Xiufang saw him, she asked with a smile, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"I was worried about you. I wanted to go find you," Xie Yi said as he stared at the sparkling light in her eyes. He suddenly realized something. "It seems like we have gained a lot today."

"Look," Xu Xiufang raised her index finger slightly and pointed gently at the empty bamboo basket, with a hint of cunning and complacency in her eyes.

"All sold out?"

An expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on Xie Yi's face, with a hint of surprise and admiration between his brows.

Xu Xiufang was full of pride, with a smile of victory on her face, as if silently saying, "Look at how capable I am, your wife."

The neighbors were all amused by the interaction of the young couple. Their hearty laughter echoed in the alley, adding a bit of warmth and liveliness.

Xie's mother poked her head out from the crack of the kitchen door, her eyes filled with both relief and doubt. She slowly walked out of the kitchen and asked half-doubtfully, "Are they really sold out?"

Hearing this, Fang Kai smiled and gently placed the basket on the ground. He spread his hands and with a warm smile on his face, he confirmed: "Auntie, look, the basket is empty. If not, it must be sold out."

Mother Xie widened her eyes and carefully examined the empty baskets that symbolized Dongling. Suddenly, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

She seemed to feel that there was a gap between herself and these energetic young people in front of her, called the changing times.

After the children were arranged to go out and play, Xu Xiufang and Xie's mother sat down to settle today's accounts.

Xie's mother listened attentively. As Xu Xiufang counted the change, it seemed as if strings of gold coins were jingling in her mind. Every sound represented a great harvest, and the feeling of returning home with a full load made her heart surge.

"Today we made a total of 1,463 dollars."

Xu Xiufang announced the exciting news while arranging the small bills neatly, her voice full of excitement.

"How many?"

Xie's mother repeated in surprise, wondering if she had heard it wrong. Such a number was undoubtedly an astronomical figure for their small family.

"One thousand four hundred and sixty-three."

Xu Xiufang clearly reported the number again, and when she looked up, she saw that not only Xie's mother, but also Xie Yi, Zhou Dani, Xie Chunyan and Fang Kai, all had expressions of disbelief, with sparks of surprise flashing in their eyes.

When selling clothes, everyone knows that the income will be considerable, but when we actually heard the actual amount of revenue, the shock in our hearts is beyond words.

This is not just an accumulation of numbers, but also a recognition of their hard work.

"You made so much in just one afternoon?"

Xie's mother murmured to herself, her voice a mixture of surprise and joy.

"You made so much in just one afternoon?"

Zhou Dani and Xie's mother's eyes were filled with shock, and their cognition seemed to be completely overturned at this moment.

Especially Zhou Dani, when she was running the business alone last year, she could only earn dozens or hundreds of yuan in the best month.

But for Xie's mother, this amount is even more out of reach.

In the past, the family barely made a living by farming. When the weather was good, the annual harvest was only 30 or 40 yuan; if there was a disaster year, it would be a problem for the whole family to have food and clothing.

"I can't say it was all the work of the afternoon," Xu Xiufang explained, speaking slowly but confidently, "Including the time spent making the clothes, it took about twelve days."

Twelve days, one thousand four hundred and sixty-three dollars!

Even from the perspective of Xie's mother, this figure is still a considerable income.

In that era, such profits were enough to make anyone stunned.

Indeed, this is a considerable fortune and no one can deny its weight.

Zhou Dani and Xie Chunyan were inspired by this unexpected surprise and expressed their determination: "After dinner, let's continue our efforts and strive to do something big again in ten days."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Dani suddenly remembered something important and quickly said to Xu Xiufang, "Xiufang, we are running out of fabric."
