June 1994

The No. 1 Garment Factory in Yang City published such an advertisement in the newspaper.

Well, it roughly means,

In order to participate in the 'Brother Cup' Young Designer Grand Prix.

They are now facing the young generation under the age of 35 in the city who are interested in the development of the fashion designer industry, and have a prize to solicit clothing design drafts.

There is no restriction on style, no restriction on theme, once hired, a bonus of 1,000 yuan can be issued.

If you can get a place in the Grand Prix, there are additional rewards.

The champion will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan

The runner-up will be awarded 5,000 yuan

The third runner-up will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan

As soon as this advertisement came out, the entire city of Yang, and even the entire Huang County, were shaken.

This year is not the era of later generations, where a hundred yuan is not enough for the next restaurant.

Take the average salary in the entire city in 1994 as an example, it was more than 200 yuan a month.

It is conceivable what a heavy reward 10,000 yuan is.

It is precisely because this matter is quite sensational that Qin Xu knows so clearly.

It is precisely because it is clear that

That's why Qin Xu decided to take this solicitation activity as a source of funds for his start-up.

"Labor and management don't believe it, even if it is the champion and runner-up works of the next two sessions, it can't be selected by your garment factory. ”

After muttering to himself, Qin Xu put away the small schoolbag and put it aside, and went to the kitchen by himself.

The next day, when Qin Xu woke up in a daze, it was already three poles in the sun.

It's not that he's lazy, it's just that he slept too late yesterday.

No way, lying in that familiar room, his mood has not been able to calm down, it feels like a dream.

After planning for the future, he has been lying in bed counting the little sheep.

From one to ninety-nine, until the sky was almost dark, he fell asleep in a daze.

After getting dressed, Qin Xu walked out of the room rubbing his sleepy eyes, and was basked by the noon sun, and immediately felt a lot more energetic.

Hearing Qin Xu's footsteps, the grandmother, who was washing clothes under the big tree at the door, stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look over.

"Xiao Xu, are you up, I left you food in the pot, hurry up and eat." ”

"Oh good,"

After agreeing, Qin Xu went to the back of the house to solve his hygiene problems.

When he came back from washing his face, Qin Xu didn't find his grandfather, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Milk, where's my grandfather?"

"He's going to the brigade, you go to eat, don't get cold for a while. Grandma replied with a pair of hands washed and without raising her head.

Qin Xu agreed, turned around and entered the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the porridge in the pot is still steaming, and next to the stove is a small bowl of pickled dried radish.

Qin Xu saw that he had a great appetite, so he took the dried radish, and solved the remaining porridge in the pot in three or two bites.

After washing and tidying up the kitchen, Qin Xu asked his grandmother while wiping his hands:

"Milk, I'll play on the street later. ”

The grandmother, who was washing clothes, looked up at him, then lowered her head and continued to wash clothes, and replied:

"Well, go ahead, come back early, don't wait for your grandfather to talk about you again, he has a bad temper these days. ”

Qin Xu nodded approvingly, grandpa's big-eared shaving is never forgiving, it seems that he still has to get things done as soon as possible.

It's mid-June, and it's less than a month and less than two months away from the second "Brothers' Cup" in August.

However, there are only about ten days left before the deadline for the city's No. 1 Garment Factory to solicit papers, so there is not too much time left for Qin Xu.

After entering the house and packing up his things a little, and bringing the neat design draft that he folded, Qin Xu came to the back of the house and walked towards the town under the bright sun in the morning.

Qinjia Village, where he is now, is not too far from the town, just separated by a small river.

After a short walk from the back of the house, you climb over a dam and below the dam is the river beach.

The creek is not wide, only more than 20 meters, and there is a small stone bridge in the middle.

And the water in the river is basically bottoming, only the water as deep as the calf is still flowing.

Qin Xu had heard his grandfather say that the river seemed to be directly connected to the Yellow River, and he didn't know too well whether it was true or not.

Anyway, as far as Qin Xu knew, this river was very long, because it could connect the county seat dozens of miles away.

After crossing the small bridge, Qin Xu came to his destination this time, Taolin Town.

Well, don't look at its name with a peach forest, but they don't have a few peach trees in the whole town.

"Hey, Xiao Xu, why are you here?"

Qin Xu, who was walking leisurely, was suddenly stopped by a voice.

Stopping and looking back, a green figure came to Qin Xu on a brand-new 38 bar.

Looking at the person who came, Qin Xu's little face, which was originally a little puzzled, suddenly appeared with a touch of joy.

"Brother Huazi, this car is good, new one?"

The one who was called Brother Hua Zi by Qin Xu was the son of the village party secretary in the village, and the two belonged to cousins, and they did not have the kind of five blessings.

It's just that someone else is ten years older than him, and now he is working.

Also, the place to work is very nice.

Well, just look at this green.

Post office!

"How's it going, isn't it? Would you like to ride it?"

He shook the three or seven points on his head, and Qin Xiaohuale's big mouth was almost closed.

"Forget it, I can't ride this. Qin Xu hurriedly shook his head and refused.

What are you kidding, these three or eight bars are the pain of his life.

Every time he thought of it, Qin Xu felt cold in his crotch, not to mention how sour it was.

Seeing that Qin Xu refused, Qin Xiaohua didn't insist, he was still immersed in the joy of just getting a new car, if it weren't for his cousin, he wouldn't even ask.

"By the way, you haven't said it yet, what are you doing in town?

"Brother Huazi, it's a coincidence, I just have something to ask you for, let's go to the post office. ”

Although Qin Xu doesn't ride himself, it doesn't mean that he doesn't sit.

As he spoke, his movements were not slow, and he sat on the back seat of the 38 bars.

"What are you doing at the post office?"

Qin Xiaohua rode to the post office, and didn't forget to turn around and ask.

"Brother Huazi, don't be like this, hurry up and watch the road. ”

It doesn't matter if Qin Xiaohua turns around, it can scare Qin Xu.

Originally, looking at this crooked forward route, Qin Xu regretted that he had gotten on the thief ship, but now this guy turned his head to speak.

"What are you afraid of, I'm very skilled. ”

Qin Xiaohua pursed his lips disdainfully, children don't know how to appreciate, don't you see how stable I ride?

Seeing Qin Xiaohua's disapproving look, Qin Xu quickly changed his mind and said busily;

"Brother Hua Zi, a new car, you are a new car. ”

Uh, okay.

As soon as the words fell, Qin Xu suddenly felt that the car had become as stable as a dog, and there was no shaking at all.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Qin Xu was powerless to complain, what kind of person is this.
