Du Juan asked curiously, "Mom, how did Auntie Xiufen get the name Golden Scissors? It's been so many years, but everyone still seems to recognize her name very much."

"Yes, everyone recognizes this title because the golden scissors was the highest honor for a tailor in the silk flower factory at that time. In the eyes of the older generation, especially those who came out of the silk flower factory, they also recognize this name. Just like the master, she has always been very optimistic about her. But when it comes to this title, without my cooperation back then, Xiufen would not have been able to get the title of Golden Scissors."

"Huh? Mom, it wasn't the two of you who were fighting for this name back then, right?"

Swift denied it, "How could it be? We were not in the same job back then, and we couldn't compete for this thing. Your Auntie Xiufen's title of Golden Scissors was earned in many skill competitions, and it was well deserved. Your Auntie Xiufen really has that ability."

In terms of skills, Swift was full of praise for Xiufen. What happened 20 years ago is vivid in Swift's mind, but it has been a long time since she recalled it. The broken memory is just a shadowy shadow, passing by in a flash. During the martial arts competition 20 years ago, the relationship between Swift and Xiufen was still very good. In other words, it was only after the first martial arts competition 20 years ago that the incident that made the two families estranged from each other happened.

With a pair of scissors in hand, Xiufen cut out a sample of the silk figurine's clothes with her bare hands, then put down the scissors, picked up the needle and thread, and after a few rustles, the general shape of the silk figurine's clothes came out.The stitches are dense and the cut is decent, but the cut of the cuffs is the most difficult in the whole process.Many masters have changed to small scissors in order to cut decently.Xiufen was holding a pair of large scissors at the time, and she was stunned to cut the finer and finer fabrics, compared with other workers. This was the first round of the factory's skill competition.

"At that time, you had to win the ranking in the preliminary competition, and the reward was a bowl of braised pork tickets. For this meat ticket, your Auntie Xiufen also fought hard." Swift recalled that Xiufen wanted to win the meat ticket because she was pregnant. , I am afraid that the child in my stomach will not be able to keep up with nutrition.

The cut clothes need to be embellished with accessories, and it takes a lot of time to decorate the accessories, which requires the cooperation of two people to complete.The faster Xiufen works, the more time is left for her partner.Back then, Swift and Xiufen were in a group, and the rule was that Xiufen would cut the silk figurine clothes in general first, then Swift would add decorations, and finally Xiufen would cut off all exposed threads and stitches.This is a challenge for Xiufen. The ready-made garments that have been decorated with accessories are not as flexible as before.With accessories added, the silk figurine's ready-made clothes can only be supported on a small hanger, and then the tailor will insert the scissors into the ready-made clothes to cut off the thread ends accurately.It seems to be a job of cutting threads and stitches, but it tests the tailor's familiarity with ready-made garments.All the tailors in the Silk Flower Factory need to be very familiar with the garments they cut, in order to avoid making mistakes in the second revision.

Taking this as the final test question, Swift and Xiufen cooperated perfectly in the first two items and completed them quickly.But in this last step, some tailors cut the wrong thread, which made the already finished garment unravel, and it was immediately invalidated; The thread end, the force available is too great, it directly pokes a hole in the garment, and it is useless again...

Although everyone failed, it was regarded as learning. At that time, the perception of winning and losing was not so great.At that time, Swift and Xiufen were in the last group, and everyone was defeated one by one. Everyone was watching whether the final cooperation between the two would be a blockbuster.

Xiufen constructed the interior style of the garment in her mind, including the stitches she made, and she also remembered it clearly.Slowly insert the scissors into the garment, and gently pick a corner.As soon as the light came in, it made Xiufen's choice even more firm, and she calmly cut off the thread.When the finished garment was finally picked up, a pair of thread ends fell out of it, which was considered a success.

The factory cheered to celebrate the success of Swift and Xiufen.Zhao Xi held a certificate and handed it to Xiufen, "Congratulations!"

In this way, a competition, a certificate, the name of Jin Xiufen "Golden Scissors" spread throughout the factory.

And this time also became the last big collaboration between Swift and Xiufen in silk art.

After listening to her mother's explanation, Du Juan thought it was very simple, but also complicated.The simple thing is that a certificate of merit establishes the title of "Golden Scissors", but the complicated thing is the process of the competition, which must be very tormented.After finishing speaking, Swift took a deep breath and sighed, "After that martial arts competition, Xiufen's golden scissors became a good story in the factory. As her partner, I also won a certificate at that time, and the factory also gave us a prize." Five catties of eggs. I still remember that when she was pregnant, I gave her three catties. But after that, there was no more."

Du Juan has lost count of the times she has heard from her mother.I just feel that all the past things are slowly being connected, those memories that only belong to the parents.Mom said there was no later, and it must have been after that incident, "Mom, after that incident, Auntie Xiufen never cooperated with you again?"

"Cooperation?" Swift smiled wryly, "Since that incident happened, why are we talking about cooperation! Xiufen and I are partners. After that incident, we stopped working together. She is alone in the back, of course, every year In the selection of Golden Scissors, she is selected every year, so your Auntie Xiufen’s name of Golden Scissors can be called, not because of a big competition, but for many years. Later I left the factory, because I really didn’t want to Work with her. As for Xiufen, she has been working hard, she wants to forget some unpleasant things, after a few years, she has become Master Zhao's best apprentice."

Du Juan understands, but this time, she has more worries, "Mom, you have gone through so many things, if you ask for help this time, Auntie Xiufen may not agree."

"I don't know..." Yuyan fell into deep thought, "Let's do whatever we want, now you and Auntie Xiufen can save face, after all, it's been so many years, it's pointless to be angry."

Du Juan nodded, understanding the difficulty of her mother's relationship management over the years, this time when she encountered four silk man-made garments, it seemed that the fate of the two families was firmly bound together again.As my mother said, everything can be done as it pleases, and then said, "Dad went out to work on the equipment again?"

"I went to the hospital and said that the dean is looking for him."

Since his retirement, Du Beijing has had less contact with the hospital.If the dean hadn't taken the initiative to call him today, Du Beijing would not have thought of the hospital as a way to help him.

After waiting in the dean's office for nearly 10 minutes, the dean came in in a hurry. Seeing Du Beijing, he hurried forward to shake hands, "I'm sorry, Doctor Du, I just came over from a meeting, so I've been waiting for a long time."

"No, I just arrived too." He felt a little embarrassed when the dean called him just now, "Dean, don't call me Dr. Du, I'm retired now."

The dean didn't think so, and said, "What's the matter with retirement? You retired from our hospital. After retirement, you are still a doctor in our hospital. Besides, you have such senior qualifications, it is right to call you a doctor. Sit down, Sit anywhere."

Du Beijing sat down anxiously, and they all retired. At this time, the dean asked him what he wanted.He couldn't bear to ask, "Dean, you asked me to come here today..."

It's okay if you don't ask, it doesn't matter if you ask.The dean looked at him and said, "Are you looking for second-hand purification equipment recently?"

"Ah?" Du Beijing was surprised. Where did the dean hear the news about his own business, "Yes... it is for the catering shop."
