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

Gu Chun's makeup skills and Xiao Zhuzi's bed-rolling boy made a splash at Zhao Yuan's wedding, so that many relatives came to Zhao Yuan afterwards and asked Gu Chun and his sister to help them with any happy events in the future.

Gu Chun thought this was a good way to make extra money, so he agreed.

However, she did not respond to the matter of the little bamboo rolling on the bed. After all, the child was still young and the uncertainty was too great. She was not willing to make money from her brother.

She has started to receive the salary of a propaganda department officer, earning 35.5 and some bills a month. After paying the children's tuition fees, she has no major expenses, so her savings have been kept at more than in the past six months.

I thought that it would be 1975 soon, and the college entrance examination would be resumed in more than two years.

When the time comes when she wants to go to college, her income will decrease. It should be time for Gu Xia to take the college entrance examination by then. Relying on just more than a thousand will obviously make her life tight.

Gu Chun has always believed that deposits can bring a sense of security, so she worked part-time when she had time in her previous life. By the time she died, she had saved hundreds of thousands. Once she traveled through time, the money should have been donated according to her will.

The market has not yet been liberalized. She has a large family and does not dare to trade on the black market. Her plan is to make the legal money she deserves.

Just when Gu Chun was thinking about how to make extra money, the opportunity came naturally.

I was called into the factory director's office again, and this time I saw Comrade Bao whom I met in the department store.

"Factory director, Comrade Bao, hello."

When Bao Hua saw Gu Chun coming, he stood up and shook hands with her: "Comrade Gu Chun, we meet again. This time I invite you through your factory leaders."

Factory Director Liu also smiled and introduced to Gu Chun: "Gu Chun, this is Director Bao of the production department of the garment factory. He told me about his acquaintance with you."

Bao Hua added: "Comrade Gu Chun, the main reason why we ask for your help this time is because we have received a production task to produce a batch of clothing with more design and breakthrough appearance."

"Do you still have the design drawing of the dress you wore last time? Can you let me take it back, and our clothing factory will have a meeting to discuss it."

This batch of clothing is used by the country for trade with friendly neighboring countries. It is very important.

The people in their production department racked their brains and could only make ordinary styles.

At present, very few people in China deliberately study clothing design, which leads to many people who know how to make clothes, but do not know how to design a new and innovative clothing.

The last time he saw Gu Chun's waist-pinching coat, his eyes lit up. It was crisp and elegant, and it could stretch out the waist. Perhaps this was the innovation required above.

Gu Chun understood what he meant and nodded.

"The design drawings are still there. I thought you might come to the textile factory, so I kept them in the office and handed them over to you later."

"Okay, okay, if the factory approves your design, we will officially send an invitation letter to the textile factory."

Gu Chun nodded and was about to say something else when Director Liu spoke:

"Comrade Bao, since this batch of clothes is very important to you, as a sister unit, I can't delay you, but Comrade Gu Chun's work in our Propaganda Department is also very important. If the design is approved, you need her to find time to give it to you. Help, do you need some subsidies for the children?"

If he asked to be transferred to help, Director Liu would not ask for any compensation, because the mentality of their generation is selfless dedication.

But he also understands that Gu Chun needs financial support to support her family now. Since she has the ability, why not get more subsidies for her?

Bao Hua smiled and nodded: "I understand, Comrade Gu Chun, if our garment factory decides to invite you to draw design drawings for us, we will give you a subsidy of fifty yuan for each drawing. We don't know the required quantity at the moment. The invitation letter will be sent by then. It’s marked, do you think it’s okay?”

Fifty a piece, this is a lot of money. It is Gu Chun's salary for more than a month. Of course she can do it. Who asked them to give too much.

"Comrade Bao, I have no problem with this. Let's talk about it if the design drawing passes your assessment."

It’s not that she doesn’t have confidence in her design, but that there are people out there who are better than her, and maybe someone’s design is better than hers. So isn’t she just happy for nothing?

Bao Hua had seen Gu Chun's clothes and actually trusted her design skills. However, he was not the one who had the final say in the factory. He still needed to go back with the design draft to convince the factory leaders.

After giving the design drawing to Bao Hua to take away, she didn't take it to heart.

Less than a week later, the garment factory sent the invitation letter to the textile factory, which read:

Please transfer Comrade Gu Chun from the Propaganda Department of the No. 1 Textile Factory to our factory (No. 1 Garment Factory) to carry out production work for one month.

Factory Director Liu handed the invitation letter to Gu Chun, smiling so much that wrinkles appeared on his face.

"Gu Chun, you are such a good comrade. This is a good opportunity to strengthen the friendly relations between our sister units. You should behave well when you go to the garment factory."

Gu Chun nodded and took it: "Director, I will go to the garment factory later and discuss their needs."

"Yes, you go ahead. You need to communicate more with colleagues in the production department and come back after completing this production task. Your salary will still be paid."

The clothing factory gave Gu Chun the task of designing five pieces of clothing, including three women's long coats, two women's long skirts, and one men's jacket.

So Gu Chun's battlefield moved to the office of the production department of the garment factory, and several officials came to work as her assistants and learn from her.

It is said that when Gu Chun first came here, they were a little worried that she would not be willing to teach her drawing and design experience. They did not expect that she would answer every question and patiently teach her step by step if the other party did not understand.

In fact, fashion design requires talent and inspiration. No matter how you teach the skills, it is useless without talent, so why doesn't Gu Chun sell well?

After all, she has a long-term plan in mind, and she will start a clothing business when the market opens up.

A month later, Gu Chun handed over five design drawings. One of the spoon-neck curved skirt suits made several girls in the office excited and wanted to wear it right away.

With these five pictures, the factory leaders finally saw hope of completing the task and readily gave Gu Chun a three hundred yuan subsidy.

This was the first pot of gold that Gu Chun had earned on her own since she came to this world. It was of great significance. She decided to use the money to take several children to eat at the legendary state-owned restaurant.

Gu Chun returned home happily, but she didn't expect that someone in Gujia Village, a rural village 30 kilometers away, was planning her marriage.

Gujia Village, where Gu Chun's father Gu Lin lived for thirteen years, the Gu family was discussing Gu Chun's marriage.

The third aunt of the Gu family, her husband is Gu Jinbao, the third eldest child. They have a son named Gu Dabao.

Aunt Gu had a cousin who married into a family in the city and learned a piece of news from her.

Third Aunt Gu told Mr. Gu and his wife mysteriously: "Didn't my maternal cousin marry in the city? It's not far from my second brother's yard."
