Chapter 17

"Ahem, it's like this. You also know that Chunxia promised to get married some time ago. No, we agreed to see each other two days later. But she didn't wear any decent clothes. They were all made of coarse cloth and patched. She couldn't wear them. Get out the door.

I think you have a lot of clothes, and they are all new. So, which one do you least want, can you sell it to your aunt? If you think these two hens are not enough, I will give you some more. "

The fifth aunt explained her purpose of coming a little embarrassedly, and was prepared that Gu Xia would refuse and she would beg again.

"Fifth Aunt, you came by chance. I was just looking at what other fabrics I had in my hand. There is one that is very suitable for Chunxia to wear on a blind date. Let's make her new clothes. Chunxia is a little fatter than me. I'm afraid. My old clothes don’t fit her.”

As Gu Xia spoke, she led Fifth Aunt into the house and showed her the fabric she was talking about.

The fifth aunt fell in love with the red material Gu Xia mentioned at a glance. She touched it again and again with fondness, and asked sadly,

"How much cloth does it take to make a coat? How much does it cost?"

"Fifth Aunt, our family is wearing it for Chunxia to wear on a blind date. Just treat it as a gift from me, and you don't have to pay for it. Look at this piece of blue material, and use it to make some pants for Chunxia.

You can't have a new top and wear an old pair of trousers. That's not good-looking. You're just wasting money for nothing and you're going to get laughed at again. "

Gu Xia very naturally used the sales tactics he used when he opened a clothing store in his previous life. Instead of worrying about the price with the customers, he focused on thinking about the customers and meeting their needs. If they were moved, they would not care so much about the price. .

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she was really tempted. She couldn't put it down when she touched the piece of really good material.

This is really good and made of good material, but it's also expensive.

However, after all, it is a major event in my daughter's life. Just for once, I can buy it with just my teeth.

"Xiao Xia, please do the math, how much does the fabric for this top and trousers cost? You can't do it without money." Aunt Zhao asked.

"The two hens you brought are enough. Fifth Aunt, I'll make them for Chunxia. You can go home later and ask her to come over to me. I'll measure her and I'll make them for her tomorrow." It will definitely not delay her wearing it on a blind date."

Gu Xia smiled and said that she definitely gave a family price and did not charge labor tailoring fees.

In fact, the hens brought by Aunt Zhao were quite big, worth four or five yuan each, and they could also lay eggs.

She doesn't suffer either.

Aunt Zhao was surprised and happy when she heard that she didn't have to pay anymore, but she also felt embarrassed. She didn't think much about Gu Xia's clothes and said directly,
"Oh, how can that be done? The fabric alone for these two pieces of clothing costs more than twenty dollars at the supply and marketing cooperative. I can't take advantage of you so much."

"Auntie, if you feel bad about it, you can lend us your big scalper for two days, okay? Our scalper is sick, and my father-in-law and the others have to pull the columbine by themselves, which makes them very tired."

"That won't work. My family's land is almost planted, and there is only a few pieces of land left. Just let the men at home pull it. I will go home and tell them to pull the cows into your field."

Aunt Zhao clapped her hands in response and said with a smile,

"In a few days, we are going to kill the pigs at home and sell them to get some dowry for Chunxia. Then we will leave a good piece of meat for you!"

Aunt Zhao Wu calculated that with two hens, cattle work, and ten pounds of pork, she should be able to catch up with the money for these two clothes.

Even if you have to find a tailor, it will cost another three or four yuan.

When Aunt Zhao thought of this, she suddenly realized that Gu Xia seemed to have said that she was making clothes.

Can Gu Xia make clothes?Never heard of it before.

"Xiaoxia, did you just say that you would make clothes?" Aunt Zhao asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Fifth Aunt, look at these two little clothes. I just made them for Xiao Min and Yangyang. Are you satisfied with my workmanship?" Gu Xia handed the clothes to Fifth Aunt and asked with a smile. she.

"Oh, this is so beautiful!" Aunt Zhao took it and took a look, her eyes suddenly lit up, she turned it over and over to look at it, and praised it.
"It looks good! It looks good! It's so fashionable. What's another word? Yes, it's fashionable. Oh, it's so good-looking!"

Simply full of praise.

Gu Xia listened and smiled but said nothing.

"Xiaoxia, your hands are so skillful and your vision is good, and the clothes you make are so beautiful. You are truly worthy of being from the city, just different from us!"

Aunt Zhao praised her thoroughly and asked with bright eyes,

"Then I leave Chunxia's clothes to you? When can they be ready?"

There will be 15 pounds of pork left, at least!

"You ask Chunxia to come over, I will measure her size, and I will start making it in the afternoon. It should be completed tomorrow afternoon, and it will never be too late for her to wear it for the blind date."

"That's great!" Aunt Zhao's eyes shone happily and she kept thanking her.

"Xiaoxia, thank you so much, thank you so much."

Gu Xia heard the system's beep, and she received a sincere thank you.

Gu Xia couldn't help but smile and was in a good mood.

By helping others in this way, you can also gain happiness.

"Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. When your family kills the pig, just keep the pig's head, liver, and intestines for me."

"I just realized today that you are not only warm-hearted, but you are also very capable. The gossip about you in the village before is simply not true. If my aunt hears it from now on, she will definitely scold them in their faces."

Fifth Aunt Zhao was extremely grateful to Gu Xia, her favorability also soared, and she wanted to clear her name.

Gu Xia knew the rumors about her, that she was nothing more than a vixen, a charming young lady, who couldn't do anything, and so on.

Except for the vixen, which she didn't recognize, she was right about everything else.

However, living in the village is all about face and reputation. After all, relationships cannot be broken, so she naturally wants to have a good reputation, which can only do her good and not bad.

Therefore, she also thanked Aunt Zhao for her kindness.

When Aunt Zhao heard her say thank you, she lamented even more that she had missed her before, and then she affectionately pulled Gu Xia to talk about gossip.

"Xiao Xia, have you heard that Tian Xiao'e, who jumped in line with you, is the third daughter-in-law of the village party secretary. She left today and returned to the city! I heard that they had a quarrel last night. When Tian Xiao'e left this morning , there are still slap marks on his face!"

Gu Xia,...

Palm print?Quite relieved.

"Xiao Xia, don't worry! If you want to go back to the city and Leizi stops you and even beats you and locks you up, my aunt will definitely not agree and she will help you!
But don’t worry, your parents-in-law are kind-hearted and won’t do such torturous things. If you want to go back to the city, you and Leizi can have a good talk and come back to see the child when you have time. We have nothing in this poor country. , letting you stay here all the time, alas, I really feel wronged to you! "

Fifth Aunt Zhao held Gu Xia's hand tightly and said sincerely.
