National Tide 1980.

Chapter 584 Change Destiny
The same marriageable men and women, some people are anxious about the lack of choices in marriage, while others are worried about too many choices.

Needless to say, Ning Weimin is of course the best Wang Lao Wu.

There is never a shortage of good girls around him.

Lan Lan, Mi Xiaoran, and Huo Xin all rushed towards him like moths to a flame.

Especially as his career flourished, his power, status and income rose simultaneously.

Among the people he knew, there were many who wanted to introduce him.

Even among his subordinates in the "Zhai Palace" and among the models he knew, there were many people who gave him secret glances and admired him.

Qu Xiao is the pinnacle representative among women.

Her already pretty good looks and height, coupled with the popularity gained from the nationwide broadcast of the model competition on national television, and the halo blessing of winning the championship.

Not only did she become famous in one fell swoop, she became the brightest pearl in the emerging industry of clothing models.

It also became the protagonist of the beauty calendar in 1984 and many fashion magazines.

Her current photo publishing frequency is already comparable to the heroine Matsuzaka Keiko in "Kamata March".

The letters addressed to her received by state television were comparable to those received by Zhang Yu, who became famous in 1980 with the movie "Love on Lushan Mountain".

All this can explain how popular Qu Xiao is in the hearts of young boys.

If it hadn't been for the "fake love letter incident" between Zhang Yu and Wang Jiawei a few years ago, no one would be fooled again.

I am afraid that some people will write letters to some contemporary male gods in her name, just joking around.

But the good thing is that both Ning Weimin and Qu Xiao are too good, they belong to the small group of people on the top of the pyramid.

Their shining aura can directly shield them from many disturbances, making most people feel unconfident and discouraged.

What's more, Ning Weimin has no parents, and he can only toss in his own one-acre three-point land with peace of mind.

Except for the good intentions of the neighbors in the No. 2 courtyard and the leaders of Tiantan Park, he needs to deal with it seriously.

The opinions of others are not considered at all.

For the time being, Qu Xiao also has good reasons for refusing, one is young, and the other is that he has to go abroad frequently.

Even the leader of the textile department who likes her the most has to take these factors into consideration.

After she was rejected for introducing someone for the first time, the leader stopped thinking about it.

Instead, he had to explain Qu Xiao to his old comrade-in-arms' son.

"I said yes, but I am only nineteen, and my family does not agree to fall in love so early. Besides, the task of performing is heavy now, and I have to go to Japan and Hong Kong City, so I have no time to fall in love. I am afraid that this matchmaker, auntie No way, if you really want to pursue other girls, you can only talk about it in a few years."

In short, they are all considered lucky. They feel some troubles, but not many.

There is absolutely no hidden danger of "pull the man's match, pull the woman's match", let alone force them to submit.

But those who are not as good as them, and those who are more than enough, who belong to the middle class, have a lot of troubles and troubles.

Under such a social background, people who are alone and have no boyfriend or girlfriend have become the target of public criticism.

The people who take the initiative to talk about their marriage every day, as well as the urging of their relatives at home, simply annoy them.

For example, Su Jin, the backbone of the Meishi Street Sewing Club, has become a typical example of being troubled.

It stands to reason, considering his family situation as a pedicure worker in a bathroom, his father has kidney disease, and his younger sister has not grown up yet.

It should belong to the category of rubbish dishes that are extremely difficult and no one wants them.

But because of Ning Weimin's blessing, he found a platform where he can display his strengths.

In the past two years as a temporary worker in a street sewing club, Su Jin has indeed changed her own destiny through her own hands.

Because of her good sewing skills, she also has a relationship with Bian Jianjun as a colleague.

Under Aunt Bian's deliberate care, Su Jin has always given priority to the most profitable and demanding work in the sewing agency.

For this reason, his income is not only getting higher day by day, but also his skills are getting better day by day.

Especially when Ning Weimin got the Pierre Caton loose order business.

This makes Su Jin very fortunate to have access to the most advanced pattern design in the international market.

So much so that his pattern-making and cutting skills will develop in an all-round way without knowing it, reaching the point where he can become a master.

By the end of this year, in the words of his father Su Shenzhen.

To put it aside, he is already good enough to be a teacher, and he can go to the gate of the mansion by himself.

Whether he made men's clothing or cheongsam, he couldn't lose the members of the Su family.

So today's Su Jin, in terms of income, undoubtedly belongs to the higher class in the capital.

As a temporary worker alone, he has gone from five or six yuan a day at the beginning to 20 yuan a day now.

If you don't take a break every month, you can have five or six hundred.

What's more, in October last year, the state adjusted the wages of employees of enterprises, institutions and service industries on a large scale.

This time, even full-time employees before September 1983, 9, and urban youths who have been in the mountains and countryside for more than five years, are all included in the scope of the salary adjustment.

In this way, if you add Su Jin's salary as a pedicure in the bathroom and 70.00% of his father's old Su's salary, there is another hundred and fifty.

Inside and outside, the monthly income of their family has been able to catch up with other people's annual salary.

what does this mean?
It means that they are a family of three spending the income of twelve people.

Therefore, if it is said that in 1982, Su Jin paid off the old debts and brought the life of the family back to the normal level.

Then, for their family, the quality of life in 1983 was improved by leaps and bounds, and there were great changes with each passing day.

Three turns and one sound, before the Spring Festival of the Year of the Pig, it will be fully prepared.

In May last year, they bought a refrigerator to store food.

In July last year, they bought another washing machine and used a gas stove.

Finally, on New Year's Day in 1984, they wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

After spending another 2000 yuan, Tuobian Jianjun bought another Panasonic color TV from Ning Weimin.

So far, they have unexpectedly completed a great achievement that other families need to save a few years to achieve.

Needless to say, in the eyes of others, such a family is a miracle of getting rich.

Su Jin has both a fixed job and a flexible income, which is enough for ordinary people to live.

In addition, he looks good, fair and refined, and has a good character.

It was entirely on my own shoulders that I borne the burden of the family and got the whole family out of the quagmire.

With such abilities and such filial piety, no one is worried about marrying their own daughter.

Needless to say, Su Jin's deeds, words and deeds have always been seen by the people around him.

Not to mention that his skills are so attractive to girls and too practical for life.

So in the second half of this year, people who wanted to talk to him were all flocking to him.

Colleagues, neighbors, relatives, classmates, and even a bunch of old girls from the sewing club can't wait to recommend a bunch of old girls who are waiting to be married to him.

Teachers, laborers, nurses, postmen, salesmen in department stores, there are all kinds of good-looking ones, young and old.

It was conceivable that Su Jin suddenly became a sweet pastry, how flustered Su Jin was.

To be honest, it's not that he doesn't want to get married or have a relationship.

But he is really not used to being so hasty and practical.

It's like tackling a key problem to complete a particularly urgent task, that way.

All the introducers seemed to be rushing to tie him with another person he didn't know very well as soon as possible.

For this matter, the scene he is most afraid of, the scene that leaves a psychological shadow, is to go to the woman's house to meet.

You must know that the girl's family is shy, and there are often many female family members who will accompany the girl to see each other, at least one or two, and as many as three or five people.

As soon as he sits down, someone will definitely open his mouth and carefully assume the role of the old aunt of the neighborhood committee, as well as the responsibilities of the household registration officer of the police station and the judge of the criminal court, and review him in all aspects of reality and history within three generations.

In front of so many strangers, there are some things that should be avoided, but cannot be avoided.

I had no choice but to give a clear answer, which made people have to be in an awkward state.

If these people are satisfied with him, then often there will be financial problems involved.

A few years ago, weddings in Beijing talked about three turns and one sound, bicycles, watches, sewing machines and radios.

This year, three turns and one beep are no longer mentioned, and it has become a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and how many extra legs are needed for a dual-card radio. Done.

If the urn is returned, the other party will definitely want two.

And if it doesn't work out, these seven aunts and eight aunts are likely to ask him to help him make clothes by the way, so can they still ask for money?
To put it bluntly, the embarrassment lies in the fact that the information is too transparent, and people know everything about him.

The introducer is well aware of his income and expertise, and there is no secret about it, that's why he came here.

So if he responded face to face, he would feel uncomfortable, as if he was being blackmailed.

It shouldn't be, and it will give the other party the impression that he is stingy, like he is deliberately pretending to be a grandson.

Usually at this time, his heart is the most congested, and he will break into a cold sweat.

In this way, I tried it a few times, but it really didn't work.

This is completely different from his ideal love.

So on New Year's Eve, at the reunion dinner table, Su Jin finally had a showdown with his father and sister.

The decision to leave personal matters aside for the time being was formally presented to them.

"Stop urging me. I really don't want to have a partner. If anyone wants to introduce me to a partner, please help me to refuse them all."

As soon as he said this, his father and sister immediately became anxious.

In Su Shenzhen's way of thinking, this matter cannot be agreed to anyway.

The son has obviously reached the age of starting a family, if he doesn't pay close attention to his personal problems, then the good girls will disappear?
Su Xiu also thought that his brother was flustered.

I have already paid so much for the family, if I don't even get married, how can it be done?
Unexpectedly, Su Jin said, "If I want to find a partner, I can't find it now. I can find it in this way. How do you know that I have made a few clothes for others for nothing, making it seem like I am voluntarily coming to serve the people." Yes. The girls introduced to me by those people are nothing serious, all the girls seem to be in a hurry to marry themselves off, just to find a long-term meal ticket."

"It's all about the matchmakers. They always talk about the money I can earn in the sewing club. Although the girls I met said they were willing. But I know very well that what they are interested in is only my current high income. After that What if I can’t make so much money?”

"Auntie Bian told me that the sewing clubs in the street are becoming more and more prosperous, and there will probably be no worries about work in the future. So now I'm thinking about buying machines and expanding the sewing club into a factory. If this happens I’m afraid we’ll have to recruit regular workers in the future. Naturally, there will be fewer jobs for temporary workers, and it’s even possible that they won’t be needed gradually…”

After saying this, Su Shenzhen couldn't help frowning, he naturally knew the weight of this matter.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I mean, the good things we are doing now may not last for too long. So once the factory is really built, I want to quit my job in the bath house and work in a street factory. Aunt Bian said, if I am willing to go, build Afterwards, the factory asked me to manage the production, and the salary was promised to be at least [-] yuan. It was almost twice as high as being a pedicure.”

Before Su Shenzhen could speak, Su Xiu had already interrupted.

"But in that case, brother, you won't have labor insurance. The street factory is a collective enterprise, and its level is not as good as that of the bathhouse. Don't underestimate the bathhouse, but it is still state-run and owned by the whole people. If in the future..."

But Su Jin shook his head resolutely.

"I really don't want to be a pedicure anymore. Even if I'm a tailor in a street factory, it's still a tailor and I like the job. I hold scissors in my hands, so I shouldn't touch any pedicure knives anymore."

"Besides, it will take at least half a year to build a factory in the street. During this time, I plan to work harder. If calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, at least I can earn money for a while. I think our family should buy It's nothing. If I can save another 1 yuan, I won't be afraid of losing labor insurance. Our family should be considered a bit risk-tolerant. Think about it this way, I'm earning labor insurance money in advance I have it in my own hands."

"So what's more important than that right now? It's better than spending my time meeting girls who want this and that. I have to make clothes for so many people for nothing, and I have to sit there and accept other people's examination and questioning like a prisoner. Instead, I was delayed and I went to work in the sewing club by myself. I am stupid, still doing such a stupid thing?"

"There is a phoenix tree at home, so it will naturally attract phoenixes. I think we still have to live a good life in our own family first, and then talk about my marriage after I make a name for myself. ' comes first. But I still think that 'establishing a career' is the foundation of starting a family."

Su Shenzhen pondered for a while, and had to admit that his son's consideration was quite wise.

But I really feel bad for him.

So the attitude of hesitation and sadness is palpable.

"Then... your marriage has been delayed? Your mother knows, she will definitely blame me..."

"Dad, this is a matter of worry. It's a matter of my life. How can I not choose carefully? Good girls are hard to come by. I believe that I am patient, and it is definitely better than just making one. After so many years, it is so difficult. The days are over. I don't want to rush to settle this matter."

At this moment, Su Shenzhen had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"You are old enough to have a strong backbone, and you can already support a family. You can do things according to your wishes. However, I want to work in a street sewing club after the Chinese New Year. Hurry up and earn some money, So that I can help you lighten your burden, tell them about it for me, see if it’s okay?"

"You? Your body..."

Su Shenzhen smiled slightly.

"Temporary workers, don't you just work for three or four hours a day? My body can still handle it. Don't underestimate the old tailor. Although the styles I know are outdated, you need to practice for 20 years to learn the ability to tailor clothes." Maybe catch up with me. If you count the items, I may not earn less than you. It means that cheongsams are not fashionable now, otherwise, once the embroidery workers are hired, you will not be able to stand out..."

Unexpectedly, Su Xiu became distressed again.

"It's bad, brother, our music teacher is still asking me about your situation. Then...you don't want to talk about it. She wants to ask me, what should I say?"

Su Jin couldn't help sighing. He knew that teacher was a nice person, but he was too short and fat.

He could only say that he felt sorry for his sister.

"How about this. If she wants to ask you, tell the truth first. If she is really upset, then ask her if she wants to make clothes?"

ps: The incident about Ning Weimin's accidental encounter with Huo Xin's parents has come to an appropriate end.What I want to express has been fully expressed, and writing later is unnecessary continuation.Hereby declare.Hope it doesn't continue the ending.
