Chapter 13 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (13)
Xu Yin was delighted: "Don't worry! I will never let you get beaten by your sister."
“I’m serious!”
“I’m serious too! If you don’t believe me, I will draw it for you now. As long as I can draw it, my sister-in-law will do it.”
Tong Guihua was relieved and said, "Then draw quickly."
Xu Yin returned to the classroom, took a sketch pad, and drew two dresses suitable for soft gauze.
The styles of dresses currently popular are mostly the same.
Almost all of them have split pointed collars with white edges, narrow short sleeves with white edges, a row of fake buttons on the chest, and a waist, and the hem is as big and thick as Bragi, and can be turned up when turned around. kind of.
And the two paintings she drew:
One style has a one-word collar, ruffled sleeves, a naturally nipped-in waist, and an irregular ruffled hem, making it youthful and beautiful.
The other style has a small stand-up collar, three-quarter sleeves, no waist, but is paired with a red leather belt.
“Wow! I like both of them!”
Tong Guihua held her cheeks like a nymphomaniac.
“It’s a pity that I don’t have Rouzi gauze material. Xu Yin, the skirt you drew is only suitable for Rouzi gauze, right?”
“It’s best to have some texture.” Xu Yin nodded, “But if it’s made of silk, it can also be designed like this.”
As she spoke, she picked up the pen again and drew a few strokes.
This time it is an improved cheongsam, suitable for engagements and weddings.
Tong Guihua held the draft book and was reluctant to put it down: "Wow, it's so beautiful! I want to offer it up!"
…”
Finally, Tong Guihua chose the first picture for her sister. According to her words:
“My sister has a short neck, and when she wears a stand-up collar, she loses her neck. A flat collar is better, at least it looks like she has a neck. Also, wouldn’t the second picture look bad without a belt? She looks like a pregnant woman with a big belly wearing maternity clothes…”
Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth, suspecting that Guihua's classmate was often whipped by her sister at home - she couldn't speak well with her mouth.
The orders received this week are far less than last week. Perhaps some of the business was taken away by the tailors in this area.
Except for the dress Tong Guihua ordered for her sister, she only received orders for four pairs of overalls and two white shirts.
The two pairs of overalls and two shirts are from two boys.
It is said to be preparation for working after graduation. They thought the tailors in the county were working too slowly and were afraid they wouldn't be able to wait.
Whether it was to help her or simply to be in a hurry, Xu Yin accepted their favor.
He gave them a suggestion from the bottom of his heart: change his overalls into suit pants, and give each of them a black tie.
This kind of matching is not only suitable for the first day at work, but also for future engagements and weddings.
As for Sister Tong Guihua’s dress, a lot of thought was put into it.
Xu Yin said, Mrs. Xu made it, and her sister-in-law cooperated. They stayed in the house for a day and a half during the weekend to make this skirt.
Efforts paid off. After the ready-made clothes came out, not only the Xu family but also Xu Yin herself thought they were stunningly beautiful.
When she arrived at school on Monday, Tong Guihua heard that it was ready and couldn't wait to take it out to see.
This look attracted the attention of half the class.
As for the other half of the class, they are all boys. It's not that I don't like looking at it, but I'm embarrassed to stare at girls' skirts.
“Wow! This is so beautiful!”
"Xu Yin, your sister-in-law did this too? Your sister-in-law is so capable!"
Xu Yin was not jealous at all when they praised her sister-in-law, on the contrary, she was quite shy:
“Of course! My sister-in-law is so good at sewing!”
“I think the main thing is fashion. Those old tailors are bad at needlework, but they can’t make such fashionable and novel skirts.”
“It’s a pity that soft yarn materials are more difficult to buy.” “White and black ones are not difficult to buy, but they don’t look good.”
“Oh, come on, please don’t do anything!” Tong Guihua painfully hid her skirt in her schoolbag, “It’s all wrinkled by your touch.”
“Hey! Osmanthus, don’t be so stingy. You can borrow your sister’s bare clothes to try on when you get home. The most we can do is touch them.”
“That’s not okay, this is my sister’s new dress for the engagement, don’t touch it anymore!”
"Okay, okay... My sister is getting engaged in the second half of the year. Why didn't I hear her talk about making clothes? No, I have to go home and ask."
“My brother doesn’t know if he made new clothes for my future sister-in-law...”
…”
Xu Yin listened and saw no movement. She raised her head and saw, oh, there were so many pairs of eyes staring at her fiercely.
She subconsciously touched her face and wondered: "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
“What about that, Xu Yin, if my sister also wants to wear a dress like this when she gets engaged, can your sister-in-law do it?”
"Xu Yin, Xu Yin, I'll also line up. Although my brother hasn't found anyone he likes yet, he will soon. My mother is looking for him. When things happen, she will definitely make a new dress for my future sister-in-law. I’ll look for you when the time comes!”
Xu Yin: “…”
Is it really okay to betray your family members like this?
"Ahem, you'd better discuss it with your family. If you really need it, come back to me. Also, not all materials are suitable for this style. This needs a fabric with a bit of texture. If it's cotton or linen or solid, or This style is better…”
She added a few new styles after yesterday's sketches, which are more suitable for relatively strong and crisp fabrics such as cotton and Dacron.
When these girls saw it, they liked her very much and praised her one after another:
“Xu Yin, you are so awesome!”
“Xu Yin, how did you draw it? It’s so realistic!”
“It would be so beautiful if it were made into a dress!”
“Ah—I really want to go home right now!”
“It’s useless to go home, there’s no cloth at home.”
“I have it at home. My mother hid a piece and said she would make it for me after I graduate.”
“Is that for your blind date?”
“Pfft hahaha…”
“By the way, Xu Yin, are you planning to take the fashion design major?”
When asked this question, Xu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say whether he can pass the exam. It's too early to talk about majors now."
You won’t have to worry so much if you work **** other subjects, the key is Russian.
Every time she opened a Russian textbook and saw languages that she knew individually, but once they were put into words and sentences, they were as unfamiliar as if they were from another world, and she got a headache.
What’s even more troublesome is that the next class is Russian.
I thought I was going to get through it again in a fog under the eyes of the Russian teacher who hates iron and steel, but I didn’t expect that there was a breaking news:
“Students, I have just received a notification from my superiors that starting from this year, Russian will no longer be included as a required subject for the college entrance examination…”
Before the teacher finished speaking, there was an explosion in the classroom.
The students with good grades and pointing to this course are not willing to give up.
And Russian-speaking scumbags like Xu Yin are excited to welcome spring.
“Ahhhhh! No more Russian exams? Great! You’re liberated!”
Tong Guihua looked even more excited than Xu Yin.
Xu Yin asked her: "Don't you occasionally get 70 or 80 points in the exam? Why are you so excited?"
“Who wouldn’t be happy if they had to take one less exam? Only those who rely on Russian to score points will be as stinky as a stone in the pit.”
