Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

At Haicheng Railway Station, as soon as Professor Zhou took Gu Chun and his senior brothers off the train, they met someone who came to pick them up.

They were arranged to stay in a hotel with a nice interior environment.

Gu Chun's first impression of Haicheng was that of fashion and foreign style.

They first saw garden houses and the Bund Concession. There were even high-rise buildings here.

This is an international metropolis.

Gu Chun suddenly realized this. Although it has not yet begun to burst with vitality, this city seems to be very fashionable and trendy.

In the hotel, Gu Chun was alone in a room again.

After packing her luggage, she went downstairs. Her teachers and senior brothers had already come down one after another.

They started walking around.

This is the city center, the busiest place.

It is also the most crowded place in the city.

People were coming and going in the alley, there were children running around and adults playing chess at the door.

There was also a row of clothes hanging above.

It seems more crowded.

But you can see the comfortable smiles on people's faces. The people living here are enjoying themselves.

They walked to the Bund again, where men and women were walking.

Young people on the streets are the most energetic group of people.

They were actually wearing jeans, wearing toad glasses, and holding tape recorders in their hands.

Gu Chun remembered that her tape recorder was given by Grandpa Chen to help her learn English.

It later helped her a lot.

Now tape recorders have begun to enter the country, and young people play tapes on them and dance.

You can feel their energy while walking on the road.

People of Professor Zhou's age may find it a bit too open-minded to accept.

But Gu Chun thought that this city seems to have always been so fashionable in future generations.

Be at the forefront of fashion.

The dressing of these young people is already much more fashionable than that of the young people in Beicheng.

Even before the toad mirror trend was introduced to Beicheng, it was already rampant in Haicheng.

She suddenly felt very confident about the batch of goods she took.

This year the TV station aired a TV series called "At the Bottom of the Atlantic", in which the protagonist often wears a pair of toad glasses.

Before she set off, Gu Qiu would sometimes watch that TV series because it was said that all her classmates were watching it.

Thinking about it, by the time she goes back, it won't be finished yet, and it will still be popular.

There are also jeans. The jeans she designed in the past few years have been sold abroad.

Now it has become popular in the country.

If Beicheng Garment Factory could produce a batch and sell it domestically...

However, it is not yet time for state-owned factories to transform. For clothing that keeps up with the trend, we still have to look to Guangzhou and Haicheng.

In this era, Haicheng is synonymous with high-quality products.

Many of the malted milk, toffee, and fabrics come from here.

There are many light industrial factories here.

Textile factories are also very large.

They went to inspect garment and textile factories the next day.

Entering the factory, Gu Chun felt as at ease as returning to his hometown.

She has lived in Beicheng Textile Factory for many years and is very familiar with the factory's production environment.

But the difference is that the Beicheng side produces more cotton, while here there are more fashionable fabrics.

Deliang, corduroy, silk satin quilt...

There are even thin elastic socks.

These clothes and fabrics are of good quality, new styles and reasonable prices, and are very popular among girls today.

The director of the textile factory also offered to give them a beautiful piece of silk.

When passing by the warehouse, I heard a noise.

"Why are you so rigid, Lao Li? These rags are of no use anyway, why don't you let us take them?"

A shrill female voice said.

The man she called Lao Li was a middle-aged and elderly man with a serious expression. At first glance, he looked like the kind of person who couldn't hold a grain of sand in his eyes.

"Absolutely not. Even if these cloths are cut and damaged, they are still the property of the factory, and you must not be allowed to take them away casually."

Gu Chun finally understood that this was useless fabric. This woman wanted to take it home for free, but Lao Li did not agree.

The factory director was taking them on an inspection. When he noticed this, he looked embarrassed and asked,

"Lao Li, what are you arguing about?"

While they were talking, Gu Chun went over and looked at the cloths.

It's said that it was damaged by the cut, but it's actually not that bad. The fabric has no stains and is intact.

It's not as shredded as the strips of cloth she bought at the Beicheng Textile Factory before.

It's just that the fabrics are about the size of a piece of clothing, cut in the middle and divided into two pieces.

It is difficult to make a complete garment again.

When the factory director arrived, the woman was so frightened that she ran away.

After hearing the whole story clearly, the factory director also said to them with some distress,

"I'm also very worried about these cloths. I don't know how to use them. It would be a waste to throw them away or give them away, but they can't be used to make a whole dress..."

Professor Zhou and his senior fellow apprentices also didn’t know much about clothing, so they could only express sympathy with their frowns.

Gu Chun took a few pieces of cloth and looked at them again and again.

I have a good idea in my mind...

"If you can't make a whole piece of clothing, you can make half a piece."

she muttered.

The factory director heard this and looked up at her, "Little girl, what did you say?"

A senior brother quickly pulled her and said, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense and don't cause trouble."

Gu Chun smiled and did not refute. She was waiting for the factory director's reaction.

Professor Zhou actually thought of her resume.

"Did Gu Chun work in a textile factory before?"

Gu Chun nodded, "Yes, I used to work as a worker in the front-line workshop of a textile factory, and then I joined the propaganda department."

Oh, this is a colleague, and the factory director thinks the little girl is quite friendly.

Asked her, "Aren't you familiar with our textile factory?"

“Yes, I feel quite friendly coming here, we are all from the same family.

By the way, I worked as a designer for a clothing factory before, and several of the clothes I designed were sold at the Canton Fair. "

The factory director's eyes lit up, "Are you the designer who designed the jeans?"

"I saw you in the newspaper, and we discussed it in a meeting later. Did you know that jeans have become popular in Haicheng?"

Of course Gu Chun knew it, so he said, "Yes, we saw it when we came here."

"It turns out that you are so young and promising. It seems that you are very familiar with our industry. You just mentioned these fabrics..."

The factory director suddenly felt that a light had appeared.

I just saw that the little girl was too young to take her seriously.

Now that I heard that she was the designer who had been in the newspaper, my hope was raised.

Is it possible that the little girl has a way to help them deal with these fabrics?

Gu Chun had a way, but she didn't know if it was appropriate, so she glanced at Professor Zhou.

The factory director also understood that they were only here for inspection, and they had to seek permission from the leader to do other things.

Then he said to Professor Zhou, "Professor Zhou, look, if possible, could you please help our factory and give us an extra day, and I will give a report to the superiors."

Professor Zhou pondered for a while and nodded, "Comrade Director, please first listen to what advice I, a student, have to give you."

"If she can really help solve the problem, then it is our duty to leave you one more day."

Gu Chun had no worries after getting the teacher's consent.

Her solution was to make a "fake collar."
