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

As soon as Gu Chun got off work, he excitedly went to the warehouse to ask for four pieces of cloth from the administrator.

Give the note from the director to the administrator, and you can go in and pick out the fabrics yourself.

Before she came, she had already planned to make coats for all five members of the family, and needed to find thicker fabric.

I will make three more long-sleeved skirts for myself and my two younger sisters, in a nicer color, and use the rest to make pants for my two younger brothers.

Four pieces of cloth may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not enough to make clothes for the five members of their family. They can only save some cloth by cutting them appropriately.

Huang Xiuxiu specially rode a bicycle to help Gu Chun take all the fabrics home.

Gu Chun actually has a men's bicycle at home, which is used by her father. It is too high for her to ride, and it is usually close to the factory, so she has never ridden it.

This time, for these cloths, I rushed home and took the bike out first.

The two of them worked together to move the fabric back to the compound, and Huang Xiuxiu planned to go home.

"Xiuxiu, thank you so much. Do you want to stay for a meal before leaving?"

Huang Xiuxiu waved her hand: "No, I'll come and play with you next time. My parents are waiting for me to come home for dinner."

After saying that, he got on the bike and left without any hesitation.

Gu Chun understood that she was worried that her family would not have enough food to eat, and felt that it was too hard to support the family by herself, and she was very moved.

This is a considerate girl. She plans to make a skirt for Xiu Xiu if she still has some fabric left when making clothes.

The children were also surprised to see their sister bringing so much cloth home. Does this mean they are going to have new clothes?

Gu Xia wondered where her sister got all the cloth, so she asked, "Sister, where did you get so much cloth?"

"These are rewards from the factory. Today the leader came to inspect and praised the posters I drew."

Gu Xia also saw the sketch of her sister's blackboard newspaper and nodded after hearing this. The blackboard newspaper was indeed very nice.

Gu Dong couldn't hold back his anger and asked, "Big sister, big sister, are we going to have new clothes to wear?"

Gu Chun touched her head and asked with a smile: "Do we, Dong'er, like new clothes?"

"I like it, I like it, big sister, I want a new dress, a nice little dress."

"Okay, okay, there are also coats. Can my sister make two clothes for each of us?"

Gu Qiu quickly said: "Sister, I can help you. You can't do so much by yourself."

Gu Xia also nodded: "Sister, I can help too. You can teach me how to do it."

Of course Gu Chun was very happy when his younger brothers and sisters wanted to help.

"Okay, I'll draw the shape, you can cut it out, and I'll use the sewing machine at home to make the clothes."

There was a sewing machine at home, and my parents bought it in order to make clothes for them.

In fact, before the baby bamboo was born, their family's conditions were pretty good. They were both working and had a high income. They had a bicycle and a sewing machine at home.

Gu Chun decided to draw a sketch of the design of clothes in the next few days. This was her old profession. It had been a long time since she had done it. Her hands were itchy and a little excited.

She first drew some of their coat designs. The characteristic of this era was that they tended to wear crisp and elegant clothes. She thought that if they wanted to be more in line with the current era, they should not be too out of the ordinary.

The final drawing of Gu Chun and Gu Qiu was a woven jacket with a lapel and a pointed collar. Gu Dong planned to make a cuter one and sew it with a circle of white lace. The boys' ones are relatively simple, with two reasonably tailored jackets without many patterns.

In addition, she made three more skirts, a bow-tie loose-fitting petticoat with long sleeves and a skirt length below the knees. The fabric was a batch of light-colored cloth she had specially set aside.

There was still some fabric left after cutting, so Gu Chun planned to make a long skirt for Xiu Xiu, which would look great when worn with an ordinary shirt.

From that day on, the three elders were busy making clothes every day when they had free time.

Gu Qiu would sometimes step on the sewing machine. Gu Xia's hands were very steady and the fabrics cut out were neat.

Gu Dong didn't go out to play and kept watching. Sometimes her brothers and sisters would ask her to cut the thread, which would make her very happy.

As for Xiao Zhuzi, he practices climbing on the kang. He has been getting better and better recently.

Every day the home is filled with laughter and laughter, and these children have come out of the gloom.

A few days later, before the clothes were ready, Gu Chun was in the newspaper.

After entering the office early in the morning, Zhao Yuan came over with a newspaper and said excitedly: "Gu Chun, look, you are in the newspaper."

Gu Chun took it out and saw that it was the leader who came to inspect the work on National Day. They took a group photo in front of the newspaper.

Gu Chun stood by the side. Although it was in black and white, he could still see her beautiful appearance.

The content of the report mentioned that the leaders inspected the work at the grassroots level. The tasks of the textile factory were completed well and the publicity work was very good. Especially the blackboard poster painted made people feel the majestic enthusiasm.

Gu Chun's blood was boiling with enthusiasm. She was worthy of being a literary worker. Gu Chun thought that what she said that day was already very good. She didn't expect that there are people outside the world who are better than others. To live in this era, she still has to learn more.

"It was the day the leader came to inspect and take the photos, and we received the rewards." Gu Chun said with a smile.

"Why are you so calm? You were praised in the newspaper. Maybe I can give you an advanced grade this year."

Forget about this, it is very honorable to be rated as advanced in this era, and the salary can be increased by ten yuan.

"It would be great if it could be rated. I'd love it."

She didn't mention the salary increase after that. In this era, it is not recommended to talk about money.

Xu Lan walked in and looked at Gu Chun with jealous eyes, her eyes almost burning. This opportunity should have been hers. If it weren't for this girl, she would be the one in the newspaper.

Completely ignoring that she can't draw and doesn't even know a lot of words, letting her go to the drawing board factory alone will not be praised but humiliated.

"Why are you so proud? Why don't you just get published in the newspaper? You really don't know how high the world is, and you still want to comment on the advanced ones. I don't think you can do that."

It came again, a new day, a new acrimony, and Gu Chun didn't tolerate her.

"Yeah, isn't it just to be in the newspaper? Then why don't you, Sister Xu Lan, don't you want to? Oh, I forgot, you can't draw. If we let you go, our factory will be embarrassed."

"You, don't rely on your ability to draw to be great. You are just a yellow-haired girl. What qualifications do you have to compare with me? My father-in-law is the chairman of the Revolutionary Committee."

Xu Lan has always been proud of her status as the daughter-in-law of the Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee. She looks down on this and that, and wonders if she will be liquidated when order is restored in two years.

Thinking of this, Gu Chun didn't bother to argue with her, and just thought of making her happy for a few more days.

"Yes, yes, you are amazing. You are amazing."

Why did Xu Lan feel so weird after hearing these words, but since she had already given in, forget it and don't argue with the little girl.

Gu Chun: Who gave in?

Gu Chun was well-known in the factory that day. When she went to the canteen to get food at noon, Huang Xiuxiu said she had seen the newspaper.

"Chun'er, you are really great. And that painting you painted makes me look so good."

"That's because Comrade Huang Xiuxiu, you are very good-looking."

Huang Xiuxiu had never heard such a straightforward compliment before, and her face turned red when she heard this. She was really embarrassed.

"You're so good, Gu Chun, you tease me all day long."

Gu Chun smiled and said, "Xiuxiu, come to my house for dinner after get off work tomorrow. I will prepare delicious food for you. Isn't it your birthday the day after tomorrow? I also have a gift for you."

Huang Xiuxiu was so surprised that she even gave her a birthday gift.

"Really? You want to give me a gift? Isn't it too expensive? Why don't you stop eating and leave the delicious food to Qiu'er and the others?"

Gu Chun said with a smile: "It won't cost anything. I made it myself and didn't spend much money. I make a lot of delicious food, enough for the few of us to eat. You don't have to worry about me supporting the family. The money I earn is enough for us every day." Meat eaters.”
