Chapter 341 Tailor Shop Opens
Chapter 341 Tailor Shop Opens
The needle pierced the cloth, and in the small tailor shop, the sound of the sewing machine never stopped since dawn.
Wang Na shook her newly made coat and called out, "Zhongyu, come over here and try it on."
Liu Zhongyu straightened her back, her hand still red from holding the broom. She waved her hand and said, "Wang Na, such nice clothes, you should sell them!"
"Why are you being so polite?" Ma Lanzhi stopped and urged, "You need to entertain the guests. That suit is not suitable and will drive them away.
Customers will immediately like the new clothes and will definitely have them made here. We have work clothes in our workshop, and although our tailor shop is not big, we can still make a piece of clothing for you."
A smile played on Liu Zhongyu's lips as he put the broom in the corner. He wiped his hands on his patched coat and took off the old clothes.
"When did you make this dress?" Wang Na frowned and smiled, "It looks familiar. It seems my grandma has one."
Liu Zhongyu blushed slightly and said embarrassedly, "They are the village chief's old clothes."
"Village chief?" Ma Lanzhi raised her eyebrows, her tone revealing a hint of surprise: "The village chief you're talking about is a lesbian?"
Liu Zhongyu nodded vigorously and said calmly, "Yes!"
Wang Na slapped her forehead, looking embarrassed, and murmured, "Shuning didn't explain clearly. I thought the village chief was gay."
"Shuning didn't ask, so I didn't tell him." Liu Zhongyu hurriedly explained, "Don't blame Shuning."
After being surprised, Ma Lanzhi's curiosity was aroused. She came over and asked, "Zhongyu, what's going on in your family? Tell us more!"
Liu Zhongyu observed them carefully and saw that they were just curious and there was no contempt in their expressions, so he let down his guard.
"The village chief is a lesbian. She adopted four abandoned babies. To raise the four of us, she never married. I'm the oldest..."
"We are a burden to the village chief. Those men ran away when they saw the four of us girls. Even without us, she could have gotten married and lived a good life."
Wang Na's eyes filled with tears as she exclaimed, "The village chief is so great!"
Liu Zhongyu tugged at his sleeves, lowered his head and straightened the hem of his shirt, and whispered in agreement, "The village chief is great. I will work hard to make money and help her share the responsibility."
Thinking of Chen Shuning's explanation, Ma Lanzhi lowered her head. Shuning said that Zhongyu had self-esteem and bottom line, and sympathy and pity would hurt Zhongyu.
"The clothes fit me very well." Liu Zhongyu's eyes were filled with joy. "This is the first time I've worn such nice clothes."
She wanted to show it to the village chief and make him a new dress. But she refused to accept charity. So she waited a little longer until school started, then paid Wang Na to make it for her.
Liu Zhongyu hid this thought in his heart and said, "You guys hurry up and get to work! I'll go cook some noodles and we'll eat together."
Wang Na took a deep breath, and the sourness in her nose faded. She picked up the box at her feet and took out the fabric.
"Lanzhi, let's hurry up and do it. Sister Junyue will come over to pick up the clothes in the evening."
"I'll be done with the cheongsam soon." Ma Lanzhi rubbed her lower back and looked up at Wang Na: "The only thing missing is the shirt in your hand."
Wang Na shook the fabric and said with a smile, "Where did Sister Junyue buy the fabric? This material is shiny and beautiful."
"The material is thin, and a single hit from the needle will create a hole. Be careful and do it in one go. Don't rework it."
"I know! Shu Ning said we must seize this opportunity. Sister Junyue made these beautiful clothes, which will definitely bring us a lot of customers."
Ma Lanzhi smiled brightly and agreed, "Sister Junyue is a dancer who's been on TV. With her as our brand, we won't have to worry about lack of business."
Steam rose as three bowls of noodles were placed on the low table. Liu Zhongyu took out the fried sauce and called out, "Lanzhi, Wang Na, let's eat first!"
The aroma of soy sauce mixed with the aroma of meat, and if you smelled carefully, you could also smell the fragrance of wheat. Wang Na swallowed her saliva, stopped sewing, and ran to wash her hands.
"Guo Junshan should be a chef," Ma Lanzhi said jokingly, "If he opens a noodle shop, the seats will be packed just for this bowl of noodles with soybean paste."
"Hehe..." Liu Zhongyu laughed innocently and said, "Shuning said he would come to see us in a couple of days and bring us some braised pork elbow."
"She's busy these days and may not be able to come." Wang Na wiped her hands and sat next to Liu Zhongyu: "Sister Junyue is getting married, but the TV station is very busy these days.
How could she have the time to prepare things for the wedding? It was Shu Ning who accompanied Aunt Qi and ran around to help Sister Jun Yue get them.
Wang Na picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, showing a satisfied expression.
Ma Lanzhi calculated the days silently in her mind and said, "Grandpa Chen and Uncle Chen will arrive in Beijing tonight, and Shu Ning will have to go to the train station to pick them up."
Wang Na paused, looked up at Ma Lanzhi, and asked shyly, "Lanzhi, Jiawang asked me to go to the train station to pick them up."
Ma Lanzhi puffed up her lips, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked up at Wang Na and asked, "Meet the parents?"
She swallowed the noodles in her mouth and continued, "Nana, aren't you guys moving too fast? You're meeting the parents right after you confirmed your relationship?"
Liu Zhongyu paused and looked at Wang Na: "Wang Na, are you and Comrade Chen Jiawang dating?"
Wang Na nodded and then lowered her head.
Liu Zhongyu put down his chopsticks and said jokingly, "No wonder those female comrades in the school expressed their feelings to Comrade Chen Jiawang, but he refused any of them."
Wang Na suddenly looked up, frowned, and asked, "Are there many lesbians who like him?"
"Hmm." Liu Zhongyu answered innocently, "Comrade Chen Jiawang looks similar to Shuning. He's handsome and tall, and his grades in professional courses are among the top five..."
Ma Lanzhi ate noodles while listening to Liu Zhongyu talk.
"Wang Na, Chen Jiawang told them that he has a girlfriend, but those girls didn't believe it. When school starts next year, I will definitely tell them that Chen Jiawang's girlfriend is very good."
Wang Na's cheeks flushed. She glanced at Liu Zhongyu and jokingly asked, "Do you like him?"
A look of surprise crossed Liu Zhongyu's face. She shook her head and murmured, "The village chief worked so hard to send me to university. If I don't study hard and dwell on those things, I'll disappoint her expectations."
"Don't be so serious!" Wang Na coughed twice and said with a smile, "I'm just teasing you!"
Liu Zhongyu exhaled, slapped Wang Na lightly, and said with a smile: "Hate! I thought you suspected that I liked Chen Jiawang."
"Hahaha……"
The three of them laughed so hard that they fell over, and the atmosphere became lively.
"Ringling..."
The wind chimes rang, the door was pushed open, and a cool breeze rushed in.
"Comrades, I'm here to deliver some extra food!" Wei Gaoyun walked in with a briefcase and leather shoes, looking very energetic.
Ma Lanzhi stood up and greeted with a smile: "Boss Wei, I haven't seen you for several days. What have you been busy with?"
"Doing a little business." Wei Gaoyun walked to the low table, took out a lunch box from his bag, and put it on the table: "Soy sauce beef, eat it while it's hot."
"What a generous move!" Wang Na teased, "Looks like Boss Wei has made a fortune!"
"Thank you for your kind words." Wei Gaoyun's eyes were full of pride. "Hurry up and try it. This is made by the old man himself."
Ma Lanzhi raised her head and asked suspiciously, "Old man?"
