Chapter 5 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (5)
Fortunately, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, English gained momentum and Russian gradually withdrew from the college entrance examination market.
Many schools have canceled this course. Although Hongqi Middle School still retains it, the class hours have been compressed to only two Russian classes a week.
The day Xu Yin returned to school happened to be the second period of this week, and there would be no Russian classes for the next few days.
Xu Yin's children's shoes indicate that they will fall quickly.
Ten minutes after class, female classmates who had a good relationship with Xu Yin gathered around.
I wanted to ask her how she got a blank test, but when I saw her different trousers and the two pockets on her buttocks that looked like patches but not like patches, I thought they were novel and asked her which tailor made them.
After all, I’ve never seen it on the market, so I definitely didn’t buy it.
Xu Yin deliberately stood up and turned around twice to show them: "Does it look good? My sister-in-law made it, and she even made one for me, which is even prettier than this one."
“Is your shirt new too?”
“That’s not the case, I changed it a little bit.”
In fact, she just tightened her waist. Mainly because she has a good figure. When her waist is tightened, she looks even more slim and slim.
Sure enough, a girl with a similar size to her was moved after hearing this:
“Xu Yin, will your sister-in-law make it for outsiders? I will provide the materials and wages, and I want your style.”
When there is one, there will be a second and a third.
Before Xu Yin could put on her new trousers to advertise to her sister-in-law, she received three orders.
Tong Guihua custom-made a pair of trousers.
The two girls in the front row each need a floral short-sleeved shirt in addition to pants.
These days, girls who can go to high school either have good family conditions or are extremely favored.
And it’s just the beginning of another week, so I have some pocket money on hand.
If there was not enough, I asked my classmates to borrow some, so at noon that day I went to the cloth shop together to get some materials.
Thanks to the end of last year, the cloth stamps were canceled and the supply of cotton cloth was opened up.
Otherwise, even if you save enough money, you may not be able to buy the fabric you like.
As soon as school was over on Saturday, Xu Yin rushed home excitedly with her bulging schoolbag on her back.
The Russian teacher saw her petite back riding hard against the sunset and sighed:
“Having a day off and carrying so many books back home shows that he is a diligent person, but why can’t his grades improve...”
Is there something wrong with his teaching methods?
Xu Yin still didn’t know about her poor Russian language score, which made her teacher reflect on herself.
She returned home again with the 20 energy points rewarded from [cycling 15 kilometers].
“Dad! Mom! I’m back!”
The first one to run out was Xiao Douding.
He still remembered Xu Yin's promise before leaving - to come back and bring him delicious food.
Xu Yin naturally did not forget it. When she and her classmates were shopping at a cloth store that day, they passed by a grocery store that also sold candies and biscuits, and weighed a few taels by the way.
At this moment, I opened my schoolbag and took two White Rabbit toffees to my nephew:
“I put the rest at my grandma’s place. If I want to eat it, I’ll ask grandma to get it. But you should eat no more than two pills a day, otherwise you will get tooth decay.”
Little Douding nodded, carefully put the candy into his pocket, and skipped towards the house.
At this time, Xu’s mother came out after finishing her work in the kitchen.
“Why are you still buying candies if you are not celebrating the New Year?”
“Oh, I’m so happy! Mom, look!”
Xu Yin opened her schoolbag as if offering a treasure.
"These are not my own. My classmates asked me to bring them to my sister-in-law to help make pants and shirts. They took a fancy to my pants and wanted to make a similar pair. Here, here is the deposit, and the rest will be done. I'll give it to you." "What?" Xu's mother was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
Xu Yin hugged Xu’s mother and walked to the main room, while telling her the idea that she had been thinking about for a week:
“My sister-in-law’s needlework is pretty good, so I helped her take a few orders. During the slack time, I can make money by cutting fabrics and making clothes at home. Being a tailor can make more money than picking up dung for the village, and it’s more respectable.”
"this…"
Xu’s mother was shaken in her heart.
Without dividing the family, all the money earned by the eldest brother and his wife must be handed over to the public house for her to manage.
She would be more than happy to have a job that is more profitable than picking up dung.
“It’s just...won’t you be caught doing private business?”
“Oh Mom, what age is this, no one cares about you.”
Xu’s mother was moved.
Once she is convinced, it will be easier for others.
Daddy Xu has always doted on his daughter.
He has no objection to letting the eldest daughter-in-law learn to make clothes as a tailor and earn money, even if the money she earns is used to buy new clothes for her daughter.
Sister-in-law Xu has no objections.
Compared to chopping firewood, chopping firewood, and picking up dung in the village, making clothes is simply not an easy job for her.
In particular, my sister-in-law also donated the sewing machine in my mother-in-law's room. After cutting it, I clicked it and a pair of trousers was ready.
In one and a half days of vacation, the three pairs of trousers in the order were completed.
Shirts are more complicated to make than trousers, so Xu Yin told her not to worry. She had already agreed with her classmates to deliver the goods next week, so it would be good to get three pairs of trousers out in such a short time.
As for the overalls and improved cloth shoes that she asked her sister-in-law to help make, she put them on on the day she went back to school and went back to catch more fish... Oh, wrong, it was an order.
“Mom, I’m going to school. You and my dad take care of yourself.”
Xu Yin pushed the bicycle and told the two elders:
"Also, my sister-in-law has taken over the job now. Don't let her do the laborious work. She has worked too much and has no energy to make clothes. Not to mention, my hands are rough when shaving fabrics. Later, my classmates should ask me to compensate... Listen to me , save up the work that is not urgent until my brother comes back and let him do it. If you are in a hurry, hire someone, it won’t cost much. If you take more orders at school, won’t you earn back all of it?”
Xu’s mother nodded repeatedly when she heard this.
She has seen the abilities of her eldest daughter-in-law in the past two days. Of course, the most important thing is to see real money.
Three pairs of trousers and two high-quality shirts. The deposit alone is more than the salary of picking up dung for the village for a year.
Then what if, as my daughter said, we take a few more orders? Isn’t it hard to make money?
"Okay, okay, Mom, I will listen to you. For the non-urgent work, your father and I will do it slowly. Don't worry about your elder brother. I passed by here on Qingming Day and hurried back home. I don't know if the next trip will be in the Year of the Monkey or the Horse."
"Then hire someone to do it. Money earned is spent. Next time I come back, if I see you or dad losing weight, I won't let my sister-in-law take over the work."
“Okay, okay…just go to school quickly.”
Xu’s mother waved her hand and was too lazy to talk to her anymore.
Who would hire someone to do some farm work? It’s my daughter who doesn’t have a finger in the sun.
Since she has to go to school, she won't be able to see the two of them secretly having **** later.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yin knelt down and told Xiao Douding:
“Doudou, help me keep an eye on grandma and grandma. If they don’t behave well, tell me later.”
Xiao Douding, who was bribed by Xu Yin with a few biscuits and toffee, nodded seriously in agreement with a stern face.
ˆXu’s mother: “…”
I always feel that this family has been replaced by a daughter, and the two of them have lost their prestige.
glaring at grandson: little traitor!
Xiao Douding chuckled and hid behind Xu Yin.
