Reborn back to 1986

Chapter 22 Thoughts
Gao Lianmei put all the credit on Li Yan, and felt that her nephew would only improve if he was around good students, and she was very proud of her original arrangement.

In the class when the test results were announced, Gao Lianmei praised Gao Xiaonian, who made the fastest progress, in front of the whole class.It was the first time he was praised as a good-for-nothing student, and he was as excited as if he had been beaten.After the class was over, he stopped Li Yan, took out the talc from the pencil case with pride, and sent it forward with a 'huh': "Here, here it is for you!"

It was rare for Gao Xiaonian to offer such a generous offer, and Li Yan couldn't refuse, so he just accepted it without taking it seriously, and threw the talc stone into his schoolbag and carried it home after school.

Cui Yufeng couldn't stay idle after confinement, so she turned on the sewing machine and wanted to make two sets of small pockets for Li Jia.At that time, Li Yan was doing homework, and her mother came to borrow a pencil to draw paper patterns, and the talc bone in the schoolbag happened to come out.

"Hey, I just have a small piece left, can you use this piece for mom?" Cui Yufeng picked it up as talc was needed to mark the fabric.

Li Yan raised her head and glanced: "Well, let's use it." Anyway, it's useless to her, as an adult, she still plays with talc all over the wall, not writing so-and-so big bastard, Is it the big villain so-and-so?Is it too naive?
Cui Yufeng took the talc and went to work. Li Yan had a sudden thought flashing through her head, but she couldn't catch it too quickly. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of it, so she had to continue to do her homework.

After finishing her homework, there was the sound of the sewing machine being stepped on the edge of the yard in the Westinghouse. Li Yan had nothing to do, so she went to be a fool.

Cui Yufeng stepped on the machine and sewed the seam nimbly. In a short time, a child's clothes were made.

Li Yan lifted it up and saw that the pink fabric had two stitched patterns of deer grazing on the front, which was very lively.The neckline is formed into a semicircle and the edges are locked to prevent children's skin from being scratched.The sleeves extend straight from the front, and the neckline and waist are tied with two belts at the back, which not only protects the clothes, but also saves fabric, and is very convenient to put on and take off.

People who have had the experience of taking care of children in the previous life can understand at once, isn't this the small bib that children wear in front of their bodies to prevent their clothes from getting dirty?

Li Yan still remembers that when she went to the mall to buy these, the cheapest ones cost tens of dollars, not to mention the better ones, which were not much cheaper than regular clothes.Unexpectedly, her mother could make one in 8 minutes.

Not only this, Cui Yufeng then used old cotton shirts and underpants, drew pictures, cut them, and ironed them. After more than half an hour, a set of comfortable and beautiful baby clothes was ready.

"Mom, you are really amazing!" Li Yan took the small clothes, looked left and right, and praised sincerely.

Cui Yufeng lowered her head and packed her tools, and said with a gentle smile: "Children's hair is easy to make, but adult clothes are much more difficult to make."

The small illusory light bulb on top of Li Yan's head 'ding' lit up, and the thought that had just passed away appeared again, and she couldn't hide her excitement: "Mom, you, you mean you can make adult clothes?"

"You child asked, of course your mother can make clothes for adults, or isn't the garment factory working for nothing all these years?"

Li Yan's eyes were as bright as the light bulb, and she hugged her mother's waist with her arms wide open: "Oh my mother, you are really my real mother!" Why didn't she think of it?
Cui Yufeng patted Li Yan's little hand: "What's wrong with you child today? Of course I am your biological mother, can I be the second child? Let go of your hands quickly, so I can clean up. Your sister is about to wake up."

"Oh, good." Li Yan withdrew her hand and stepped aside.

While tidying up, Cui Yufeng turned her head to see her eldest daughter smiling and closing her eyes, not knowing what was going on in her little head.Li Yan stood there without moving until she covered the sewing machine with the cover. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Swallow, do you have something to tell Mom?"

Li Yan knew that she could ask, so she nodded immediately and said, "Yes, yes. Mom, do you think we can buy a house and sell clothes in the town?"

Cui Yufeng was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "Why do you think of selling clothes?" Turning around and sitting on the kang, she waved at Li Yan: "Come on, come here and tell Mom, what exactly do you think?"

Li Yan quickly took off her shoes and got on the kang, sat cross-legged in front of her mother, and began to express her own ideas: "Mom, look, why do you have to do it for others if you know how to make clothes? It doesn’t cost much. Besides, my sister is still young, and you won’t be able to go to work for a while. Even if you go to work, if my sister has a headache, you have to take time off and worry about it. You’re so angry. Why don’t you just do it yourself? Wouldn’t it be nice to run a business in a store, make decisions and earn money?”

These words went back and forth in Cui Yufeng's mind several times in a very short period of time, before he said after a while: "Of course it is good to open a shop. The store specializes in selling clothes, and if the quality is good and the style is trendy, then the business will definitely be good. However, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it. First, opening a store requires not only capital, but also a place. Those shops in the town They are all occupied, and I haven’t heard anyone say that they want to sell out. The second is the purchase channel. Without a guide, we are just black in front of our eyes. Where do we know where to buy goods? Even if we can make clothes by ourselves, we still have to find a place to buy fabrics. What's more, I can't guarantee that the clothes I make will be liked by others. The third is the manpower, the manpower for looking at the store, the manpower for cutting clothes and making clothes. If you have a good job at home, how much free time do you have to do this?"

Li Yan thought for a while, what her mother said was indeed a problem, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not a problem. "Mom, I remember you wanted to buy a house in the town for a while last year, why didn't you buy it later?"

"Your child has a good memory. Mom just mentioned it to you and you remember it?"

Li Yan thought, can you not remember, when the price of the house increased, you kept whispering in my ear all day long, how cheap the house was back then, if your father could help me, I would have bought it long ago, now sitting There is also a lot of money for rent.

Of course, she wouldn't say this even if she was beaten to death, but she just smiled and flattered her mother: "I have a good memory, so it's up to you, how can a smart child be worse?"

Cui Yufeng raised her chin proudly: "That's right, your mother and I were good students when we were in school, and the teachers were proud of us. Your grandma forced me not to coax the children at home. The head teacher even went home to look for it several times." Sighing, he continued: "At that time your grandma's family was poor and had many children, so she couldn't afford it, and mom didn't blame your grandma. Yanzi, you have to study hard, and where you can go, mom can afford it. As long as you can read, Mom will pay for you even if she sells everything."
