Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer
Chapter 218 He can’t come back for the time being
As soon as he left the office area, Xiao Xiangdong took out the letter and read it. Xiaoman is going to school, raising children, and plans to open a tailor shop to earn money to buy a house in Haishi. As a man, he must work harder to give them a good life.
The temporary separation is for a better life in the future, Xiaoman should understand. After thinking about it, Xiao Xiangdong quickened his steps and secretly made up his mind that he would definitely let her live in the "bungalow villa".
Meng Xiaoman has been very busy recently, so busy that Xiao Xiangdong rarely has time to think about it. The clothes she changed for Li Siqi received a lot of praise, and several female students came to ask her to help change the clothes.
"I told them one yuan a piece!" Li Siqi whispered to Meng Xiaoman. When they asked her how much it would cost to change the clothes, she was stunned for a moment. Xiaoman didn't ask her for money, but she couldn't tell her directly. , otherwise, changing clothes for free wouldn’t be a waste of work, so she casually mentioned a price. Unexpectedly, these people actually agreed!
"Did I say less?" Li Siqi looked at Meng Xiaoman uneasily.
Meng Xiaoman's lips curled up slightly, "No, the price you mentioned is very good!"
Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, by the way, this is my handicraft fee." He took out a dollar and gave it to Meng Xiaoman.
Meng Xiaoman pushed it away and confiscated it, "It's thanks to the publicity you gave me that people asked me to alter their clothes. You don't have to pay for your clothes, it's free!"
"This, how can this be so embarrassing? How can I let your work go in vain?"
Meng Xiaoman shook her head, "Not just this one, you can change all the clothes for free in the future." Li Siqi is beautiful, has a good figure, and wears good clothes. Especially because she has a cheerful personality and is sociable. She not only joined the school club, He also often participates in social activities at other schools, and is simply a walking advertisement.
"So good! Then I can't take advantage of it in vain. I will definitely bring you more people."
Meng Xiaoman's little tailor shop opened quietly. In addition to the school, Aunt Zhou also helped her with a lot of publicity.
The money given was quite good, the work was not heavy, and the food was good as she was in charge of cooking once a day. Moreover, the host family was easy to get along with, so Aunt Zhou was very happy. Moreover, she had personally seen Meng Xiaoman's craftsmanship, which was even more skillful than that of the old tailor in the alley.
In addition to having their clothes altered, customers in the alley also have their clothes made. Meng Xiaoman charges according to the situation. She is confident in her craftsmanship, and the price she charges is 20 to 30% more expensive than that of the alley tailor.
Those who just want to make wearable clothes are not her target customers. Those who are willing to spend more money just to make the clothes look better and show off their figure are her target customers.
Meng Xiaoman was already very sorry to live in Grandma Wu's house where she didn't charge rent, but she opened a small tailor shop here and had to pay her rent no matter what.
"This house has been reduced to nothing but an empty shelf by the previous people. You can use it if you can. You don't have to pay." Meng Xiaoman lives here, which brings her long-lost warmth and family happiness. No matter how much money is spent, she can buy it. Less than.
Meng Xiaoman insisted, "If you don't accept the money, then I will find a shop elsewhere."
Grandma Wu knew her temperament and agreed, but she was only willing to charge ten yuan a month.
"Too little." Meng Xiaoman said.
Grandma Wu shook her head, "It's quite a lot. The food we use at home and the vegetables grown in the yard are all your fault. I, an old woman, eat and use them for nothing every day. If you continue to calculate, then I will do the same." I want to give you money!”
So Meng Xiaoman's small tailor shop settled in a side room on the first floor of Grandma Wu's small bungalow. This room of less than 20 square meters helped her save her first pot of gold in the next two years.
When she received Xiao Xiangdong's reply, Meng Xiaoman was changing a dress for the customer to wear in summer. This customer lives in a nearby bungalow and often comes to Meng Xiaoman to have his clothes changed.
After Meng Xiaoman altered her clothes, she felt they were too rigid, so she thought of embroidering a circle of flower branches around her waist.
As soon as I finished drawing the pattern, I heard the sound of the postman delivering the letter.
In the letter, Xiao Xiangdong told Meng Xiaoman about his decision to stay on Yushan for a year. After reading it, Meng Xiaoman felt regretful that he could not come to Haishi for reunion, but she was not too disappointed and she understood and supported his decision. She loved him and his noble profession. Although they are in different places, their hearts are always together.
A person's life should not only consist of love and a small family, but also his own ideals and career.
Meng Xiaoman sent him a letter, asking him to train in the military camp with peace of mind. During the summer vacation, she would take time to take An An back to see him.
Customers like Meng Xiaoman's newly made clothes very much. He also became familiar with Jiang Ruolin and knew that as long as the clothes were changed to look good, she would not be angry, so Meng Xiaoman took it upon herself to add embroidery techniques.
Jiang Ruolin couldn't put it down looking at the exquisite embroidery on it, "I didn't expect that an ordinary piece of clothing would become so beautiful after you transformed it."
At first, it was just for convenience, so she took her clothes to a nearby tailor shop for alterations. Moreover, because she was afraid that her skills were not good, all the clothes she brought were ordinary clothes. Unexpectedly, she not only has craftsmanship, but also ingenuity, giving her such a big surprise.
Meng Xiaoman smiled: "As long as you like it, do you want to try it? If it doesn't fit, I will change it."
Jiang Ruolin shook her head, "No, it fits her body very well." She knew her figure very well and was a clothes-obsessed person. She could tell at a glance whether the dress fit her figure.
Meng Xiaoman folded the clothes, put them in the bag, and handed them to her.
Jiang Ruolin took out five yuan and handed it over, and Meng Xiaoman gave her three yuan. "This embroidery is to thank you for always changing your clothes at my place, free of charge."
Jiang Ruolin took the bag, "I'm so sorry. I still have a lot of clothes at home that I haven't worn for a long time. They should all be changed. I'll have someone bring them to you tomorrow and help me change them. Don't worry, As long as you can change it to look good, money is not a problem!” Because of the revolutionary movement, many of her clothes were not worn and were kept in the bottom of the box. Now, she can finally wear them. It's just that after so many years, my figure has changed and my clothes need to be adjusted.
"No problem, just bring it over when you have time!"
Meng Xiaoman put the money into the money box and counted the week's harvest inside. A total of one hundred and seventy-six yuan. It's worth Xiao Xiangdong's monthly allowance.
