Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 94 Tailor Shop (Please subscribe!!!)

There are not many tailor shops in Sijiu City, and the business is naturally not very good.

These days, except for weddings, funerals, and emergencies, no one in the city would look for someone to make clothes outside.

On the one hand, it is because the world is difficult, life is difficult, and materials are scarce. People do not care too much about the condition of their clothes.

On the other hand, finding someone to make clothes inevitably costs money.

If there are few children in the family and the parents or the elderly can cope with it, before the Chinese New Year, usually they buy cloth and ask family members to help make it.

As for the craftsmanship and whether the style is good-looking, no one cares.

As long as the clothes can be worn.

After all, most of the clothes are almost the same style, regular and single in color.

There are no so-called bells and whistles, and no one dares to go too far. Generally speaking, the clothes fit well.

Xu Qing has no choice at the moment. His parents are no longer at home, and his grandmother in the countryside has to take care of his seriously ill grandfather. She has no time to help the three little ones make clothes.

In the past, when his parents went back to visit from the city every year, they would bring back fabrics and tell grandma the height and measurements of him and his three younger siblings.

Elderly people will guess and sew clothes.

As for grandpa, his legs and feet were still neat at that time, and he didn't need grandma to take care of him. Therefore, Xu Qing and the three little ones' clothes over the years were half made by their mother and half by their grandma far away in the countryside.

It's just that now, everything is in chaos, and Xu Qing is busy with work on weekdays, so he doesn't have time to go back to visit them, and he didn't buy fabrics in advance and ask someone to bring them back.

On the contrary, some time ago, the old branch secretary of the village came to the factory to look for Xu Qing once, and handed over the things saved by his grandparents to Xu Qing.

But at that time, the old party secretary came in a hurry, Xu Qing was still at work, and the fabrics were not prepared, so the matter was dropped.

In addition, even if Xu Qing bought fabrics and asked the old party secretary to take them back, and grandma drove out the clothes day and night, if no one from the village or town came to the city, the three little ones would still be there before the Chinese New Year. No new clothes to wear.

For this reason, Xu Qing had no choice but to find a tailor shop.

He doesn't know how to do it himself, and simple sewing and mending is barely okay, but it's not the same thing.

Sha Zhu and He Yushui have mostly had their clothes made by outside tailors over the years.

The first mom, second mom, and third mom in the compound, Sha Zhu, didn't have the cheek to look for it, but it was always troublesome, and it was not a solution after all.

Moreover, people also have their own things to be busy with.

The three elders in the family, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, have four children alone, not counting the adults.

The second uncle’s family also has two boys.

Only the eldest mother's family can be relatively better, she has no children, and is dependent on the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai.

She had helped Shazhu and Yuyu make clothes for several years.

The problem is that it is troublesome every year, not to mention the neighbors in the courtyard, even my relatives. Over time, they will also have opinions.

Although the uncle and the aunt never said anything, Silly Zhu couldn't guess what they were thinking in their hearts. How could He Yuyu not feel anything at all?

Therefore, when Yushui was in junior high school, he didn't let the big brother Shazhu find people in the courtyard. May the people in the courtyard always be troubled.

It is also because of this that Shazhu knows all the tailor shops in Forty-Nine City like the back of his hand.

Which one is good at craftsmanship, which one is fast at work, which shop owner is greedy, and which shop owner is good.

Silly Zhu knew that it was just like how he usually cooks.
Xu Qing took his younger siblings, and soon followed Shazhu into a pretty good tailor shop.

The store is not small, and the shopkeeper inside is an old tailor who worked in this industry in the old society, and his children also made it with the old tailor. The reputation in Forty-Nine City is not very famous. Anyway, Shazhu thinks that the clothes made by this shop are It’s fast, it’s good, and most importantly, it’s reasonably priced.

The old tailor, with a gray beard and a pair of reading glasses, looked at Xu Qing and his entourage who came in, then walked up to Silly Zhu, frowned, and said angrily:
"Silly Zhu, you come here at this time, didn't you hold your fart?"

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand from his trouser pocket, and pulled out one of the old tailor's beards, causing the old tailor's face to turn red in pain.

"Silly Zhu, you kid pulled my beard again. I won't do your business this year. Get out now."

The old tailor puffed his beard angrily and stared, while Silly Zhu chuckled and said:

"My shopkeeper Zheng, look at what you are saying. The Chinese New Year is about to begin, which is very unlucky. I am here today to talk about a big deal with you."

Silly Zhu pointed at the three little guys beside Xu Qing and He Yushui, and said to the old tailor:

"The three younger ones, and my sister, each make a suit of clothes, and the fabrics are all brought to you."

Through the reading glasses, the old tailor cast a blank look at Silly Zhu, stretched out his hand to pinch the soft ruler around his neck, walked up to the three little ones, and bent over to measure them.

He is a customer. If the old tailor really doesn't want to do business, he won't talk nonsense to Silly Zhu for a long time.

Silly Zhu leaned against the counter, looked left and right, obviously he had come here more often, and he was also familiar with the old tailor, so he was very casual.

Within three to five minutes, the old tailor finished measuring the sizes of the three little guys.

The old tailor didn't know the size of He Yuyu. After taking a quick look, he turned around and walked to the counter. He pushed Silly Zhu aside, walked into the counter and said:

"Bring all your fabrics here and let me see if they are enough."

Xu Qing and Sha Zhu put the cloth they bought on the counter respectively.

The old tailor sighed and rolled his eyes at Si Zhu helplessly.

It's not like there's no cloth in his shop, but most of the people who come bring their own.

The old tailor doesn't like it, but these days, if he doesn't take it, the business will be even worse.

Five minutes later, Xu Qing left the cloth behind, took the three little ones and Yu Yu and turned around to go out.

Silly Zhu stood in front of the counter and said, "Shopkeeper Zheng, I can come and pick up the clothes on the 28th. You should hurry up these two days!"

"Also, don't let me squint the rest of the cloth."

Silly Zhu added,
The old tailor didn't even bother to raise his head and waved Silly Zhu to leave quickly, so he didn't have to talk in his ears.

Xu Qing went to the state-run store to buy cloth today, and the matter of making clothes has just been finalized, so he is in a good mood.

Walking on the street where light snow is still falling, watching the three little guys play with Sha Zhu and Yu Shui.

As for the money for making clothes, you only give it when you withdraw it.

So Xu Qing's expenses today are not a lot, only five or six yuan.

When the group returned to the compound, it was just getting dark. At this time, it felt like the dawn of the morning, but the order was reversed.
