Chapter 0030: Dreams
Zheng Zhishang also had to sigh that there are really few colors in this era.
Even the cities that have opened up and developed are still monochromatic, not as colorful as they were in the 21st century. This can be seen from the color and style of people's clothes, the same military style of blue, gray, white, and green clothes.
Both men and women wear it like this, occasionally refreshingly, one or two women in white robes and long skirts, walking in the crowd, despite this, these women still wrap themselves tightly up and down, not like in the previous life, walking in the flower skirt, exposing the skin.
Children's dresses are even more difficult to buy, originally brought the little girl to the department store early this morning, under the leadership of Aunt Tan Lin, I also wanted to buy a few sets of skirts for the little girl Lin Yu, but after shopping in the department store for a long time, I didn't find anything that satisfied Zheng Zhishang.
"Xingxing, this skirt is good...... Aunt Tan Lin asked the shopping guide to take a long white dress.
This white long skirt, in this era, may be considered very floating, anyway, it is still a lace to decorate. Zheng Zhishang sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, Aunt Tan Lin, I'd better go to the cloth area to have a look." ”
"Xingxing, you don't know how to cut clothes, I think this skirt is pretty good, why don't you let Yaya try it......" Aunt Tan Lin couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, and said in surprise:
Zheng Zhishang hesitated for a while, looked at the little girl, and saw the little girl's slightly pleading gaze, so he nodded and agreed, and let the little girl try.
"It's a little too big...... Aunt Tan Lin helped in the fitting room, and after helping the little girl get dressed neatly, she walked out and commented:
But no, the little girl completely dragged her skirt to the ground, as if she was wearing a costume, and it would take at least another two years for the little girl to wear it.
After all, it was a child, seeing a beautiful skirt, but she couldn't wear it, the little girl was a little unhappy in her heart, and she had a somewhat aggrieved look, and Zheng Zhishang saw it in her eyes, not to mention how much she felt sorry in her heart, and looked up and asked, "This sister, is there a trumpet." ”
The shopping guide shook his head with a smile; "This skirt is just this, buy it back now, you can spend two years, and then wear it when my little sister grows up."
"Uh" Zheng Zhishang heard this, but he was also stunned, helpless and wry, for the first time he found that buying clothes for children could still be like this. It's also in this era, it's not purely outdated or something, it's already good to be able to wear clothes and skirts.
Seeing the little girl's slightly eager eyes, Zheng Zhishang was slightly embarrassed and said, "Yaya, this skirt is too big, or not?" ”
"Brother, Yaya, don't ...... it" I have to say that the little girl is really sensible, even if she likes this skirt very much, she didn't cry and make trouble to ask Zheng Zhishang to buy it for her.
Zheng Zhishang smiled and patted the little girl's head, and said, "Yaya, don't worry, when you go back, Brother will make you a beautiful skirt." ”
Although I have not studied fashion design, I said that in the 21st century, I have seen a lot of dresses, and I can copy a style and find someone to tailor it, which is better than this white dress.
"Hmm......" The little girl also smiled sweetly, not worried that Zheng Zhishang was lying to her.
Aunt Tan Lin asked with a shocked face, "Xingxing, you can tailor clothes." ”
Zheng Zhishang smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "Aunt Tan, let's go buy cloth first, and you'll know in a few days." ”
I selected five cotton and floral cloths with a relatively new style and good cotton quality. Seeing Zheng Zhishang buying so much cloth in one go, although he knew that this amount of money was nothing to Zheng Zhishang today, Aunt Tan Lin was still a little worried, and said, "Xingxing, will it be too much to buy five horses." You and Yaya are each dressed in a single piece, and only one piece of cloth is enough. ”
It's not cloth today, although you can also buy it with money, but there are still restrictions on the amount, and if there are too many, you still need to buy it with a cloth ticket. This is also the reason why Zheng Zhishang wants to find Aunt Tan Lin, only she can help buy more cloth.
Zheng Zhishang shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just five horses, you can buy it with money." "The last sentence is for the shopping guide.
When the shopping guide heard this, he hesitated slightly for a while, but when he saw Aunt Tan Lin nodding, he replied with a smile: "Yes, you come with me." ”
Originally, Zheng Zhishang wanted to design it himself, and then a professional tailor would do it, but after Grandma Huang learned about it, she took the initiative to propose to tailor herself.
And the sewing and mending at home are also done by Grandma Huang, and the craftsmanship is also good. However, to cut the clothes, you also need a sewing machine, which is completely hand-sewn, which is too slow.
During this period, the sewing machine had not yet become the four major pieces of the company, and the price was also very expensive, almost more than 300 yuan a piece, to be honest, not many families could afford it. The four major pieces that the sewing machine really entered were still in the early nineties.
Zheng Zhishang is also considering whether to buy a sewing machine, with a sewing machine, Grandma Huang will be easier to sew and mend in the future.
However, before Zheng Zhishang was ready to buy a sewing machine, that night, Grandma Zhong and Aunt Tan Lin came to the house as guests.
"Grandma Zhong, Aunt Tan, why are you here. I was going to come back to you tomorrow? Seeing the two, Zheng Zhishang greeted the two with a smile and entered the house.
Aunt Tan Lin kept a straight face and said with a smile: "Why, I can't come to see you if it's okay." If you look for me, you won't have anything to help me with. ”
"It's not ......" Hearing Aunt Tan Lin's words, Zheng Zhishang was also stunned, a little embarrassed, embarrassed, and really had something to ask for, buying a sewing machine, saying that it was not big, saying that it was not small, if you want to buy a good sewing machine, you really have to find someone to help.
And it's really like Aunt Tan Lin said, every time I go to her, it seems that I go to her for help when I have something, the last time the joint defense officer charged for this matter, although in the end it was Dr. Zhong Jinzhen's son-in-law Hou Yong who helped solve it, but at the earliest, I was looking for Aunt Tan Lin.
What Zheng Zhishang didn't expect was that Hou Yong, the son-in-law of Dr. Zhong Jinzhen, would actually be the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Whether it is in the past life or in this life, this is already the biggest official Zheng Zhishang has ever seen and befriended.
All this is thanks to his decision to come to Xiamen last year, if he didn't come to Xiamen ruthlessly, he should be even more grateful to Aunt Tan Lin, if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have gotten so much help, maybe he had starved to death on the streets, maybe he was still collecting waste.
People have to sigh about fate and the world. Who would have thought that such a naturally disabled orphan would be able to know so many kind aunts and uncles.
"What is teasing you, but take it seriously, if you have something and don't look for your aunt, your aunt will be angry with you." Seeing Zheng Zhishang's shy and shy appearance, Aunt Tan Lin smiled and said:
"Thank you, Auntie, for coming to Xiamen for so long and always causing you trouble." Zheng Zhishang was full of gratitude and said sincerely:
"It's polite to Auntie, are you looking for a fight?" Aunt Tan Lin snorted, sighed and said: "Xingxing, you can have today, it is the result of your own efforts, the first time I saw you, Auntie felt that you would definitely get ahead, even without Auntie's help, you can still be promising, just look at the time sooner or later." ”
"Xingxing, I heard that you are going to tailor clothes for Yaya yourself." Grandma Zhong asked with a smile:
Zheng Zhishang smiled brightly, nodded shyly, and said, "Well, it's actually Grandma Huang who helps me tailor." ”
"You have to make clothes, Auntie can't help much, I don't know anything about this tailor, but Auntie, I specially found you a master tailor with excellent skills." Aunt Tan Lin said with a smile: "Aunt Zhong, but the tailor shop was born, and she learned a good craft as soon as she was born, and when she was young, she was a talented girl......
"You little girl, you also want to bury the old woman, don't you?" Grandma Zhong glared at Aunt Tan Lin with disgust, and said with a smile: "Since they got married, I rarely move, and my skills are rusty. ”
"Aunt Zhong, how can it be, what I'm saying is the truth, if you want me to say, you shouldn't have gone to Xiamen University to teach art back then, you should have been a tailor. The clothes you cut are the best I've ever seen, and if there is anyone else in the world who can surpass you, I really haven't seen it. Aunt Tan Lin said with a smile:
"In this way, if Grandma Zhong can help, it would be great, for clothes, I can only draw some design drawings, and I don't know how to tailor at all." Zheng Zhishang scratched with a smile, but he didn't expect that Grandma Zhong would be an art teacher at Xiamen University.
"You can design ......" Grandma Zhong couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Zheng Zhishang's words, full of shock.
"Aunt Zhong, don't you know yet, Xingxing has a notebook, on which are all clothes design drawings. I really don't know what he thinks in his head, but I'm really looking forward to what it will be like to make all those drawings. Aunt Tan Lin said with a smile: "When Xingxing said that he wanted to open his own shop, I thought he would open a tailor shop, but I didn't expect him to start a restaurant." ”
"Uh...... It's not, it's just that sometimes I think about things and get used to drawing. Zheng Zhishang was slightly stunned, among the people he knew, only Aunt Tan Lin had seen Zheng Zhishang's notebook, and it was true that Zheng Zhishang had spoken about electronic design drawings earlier, and he was often stuck, after all, there was no physical object, and he couldn't do it himself, so he painted it completely out of thin air and the memory of his previous life. It is inevitable that there will be times when there is a short-circuit in the mind.
At this time, Zheng Zhishang would draw the beautiful men's and women's clothes and children's clothes that he had seen in his previous life.
Maybe it's because when I was young in my previous life, I lived in an orphanage and didn't wear new clothes at all, all the clothes were old clothes donated to the orphanage by some well-wishers, and even leftover clothes that my big brothers and sisters couldn't wear.
Whenever he sees some children of the same age wearing new clothes, Zheng Zhishang is also extremely eager to wear new clothes like them one day.
Maybe it's because of this idea, so Zheng Zhishang likes to draw since he was a child, and only paints clothes or something, when he was in junior high school, he once hoped to become a fashion designer, not only can he wear other people's styles, but also let others wear clothes he designed.
It's just that this dream, because of the failure of the high school entrance examination, Zheng Zhishang quietly left the orphanage, and finally entered the factory to work.
After self-study and self-examination, Zheng Zhishang also wanted to continue his dream, but if he wanted to become a fashion designer, he first had to learn painting, and with this dream, Zheng Zhishang went to learn painting. It's just that in the end, he didn't move forward according to the goal he set at the beginning.
Life and survival are also things that Zheng Zhishang must consider, so Zheng Zhishang also had to give up his dream and study electronic and electrical appliances in a vocational and technical school to improve his technical level. Even after giving up his initial dream, Zheng Zhishang still learns to paint in his spare time.
I often stay alone in a rented house, draw with a pen, or draw those beautiful clothes I see on the street or in comics. Over time, Zheng Zhishang also found that as long as he started painting, he would feel very relaxed, happy, and his thinking would become broader.
Later, in addition to his interests and hobbies, when he encountered any troubles and short-circuited thinking, Zheng Zhishang habitually took out a pen and paper to paint and self-regulate.
It can be said that after being reborn, Zheng Zhishang's paintings of those costumes are just the product of his own self-regulation.
"Stars, if you Aunt Tan Lin can appreciate it, it must be a very good painting. Can you show Grandma ......" Grandma Zhong said with curiosity:
Zheng Zhishang hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "Oh, good ......"
Take out the notebook of your painting clothes from the drawer and give it to Grandma Zhong. Aunt Tan Lin, Grandma Huang, and Yaya also came over and followed Grandma Zhong to look at it.
"What a beautiful dress." The little girl Lin Yu exclaimed:
"Aunt Zhong, what's the matter, I said that Xingxing should go to open a tailor's shop, if it is sold on the street, it will be robbed madly." Aunt Tan Lin smiled and praised:
Grandma Zhong nodded with a smile and said, "It's good, but it's a little too avant-garde, but what about a tailor?" Naturally, it is necessary to make the clothes beautiful and avant-garde, and it is also okay, there are always people who are full of acceptance and get used to ......"
"Hey, this is good, it has the characteristics of our Han traditional costumes, and it also echoes the aesthetics of the times." Grandma Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked up at Zheng Zhishang and said, "Stars, these are all painted by yourself." ”
"Uh" this question, it's really a little difficult for Zheng Zhishang, the clothes in it can basically be said to be plagiarized from the 21st century clothing in the previous life, and only a few clothes created by themselves are based on Hanfu, Tang costumes combined with modern aesthetics and comic clothing, created by themselves.
Looking at Grandma Zhong's expression, she must have seen those pictures, and nodded awkwardly.
"The design is very good, the painting is also very good, who did you learn painting and design from?" Grandma Zhong suddenly changed her words and asked:
"Uh" Zheng Zhishang was stunned for a moment, his head was stunned, but he didn't expect Grandma Zhong to ask this question, and even Aunt Tan Lin and Grandma Huang also looked at themselves together. After hesitating for a while, he was embarrassed: "These are all when I was a child, my father taught me some simple drawing, and then I liked it, so I often scribbled randomly." ”
"Oh, that's it, I don't know how your father and mother gave birth to such a smart little guy as you." Grandma Zhong didn't seem to doubt Zheng Zhishang's answer, and said with a smile:
"Uh" This made Zheng Zhishang extremely embarrassed, his father and grandmother didn't even finish junior high school, and the other didn't even enter school, as for writing and arithmetic, these fathers have taught some, but those are just to make some cover-ups, where do you need them to teach, teach them by yourself.
Grandma Huang and Aunt Tan Lin also nodded in agreement, but thinking that Zheng Zhishang's father and aunt are no longer alive, Zheng Zhishang is now alone, at a young age, other children are still playing next to their parents, but he has to start running and working hard for life, and he can't help but have some sympathy and pity in his heart.
Aunt Tan Lin smiled and said, "By the way, Xingxing, you just said that you wanted to find me, is there something wrong?" ”
Zheng Zhishang nodded, "Well, because I want to make clothes, I want to buy a sewing machine, which is more convenient." ”
Grandma Zhong smiled and said, "What do you want to do when you buy that thing, if you want to use it, come to the house." ”
Aunt Tan Lin also smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Zhong is a professional, she doesn't lack anything." ”
