Chapter 57: Business

After telling Zhang Qing that he was leaving, Zhang Qing cried, hugged Si Xi and didn't let go, Si Xi had no choice but to persuade for a long time before Zhang Qing calmed down, and then pulled Zhang Qing to the hall and asked him to see the beam on the wall, Zhang Qing looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything, Si Xi had to point to the end of the wooden beam against the wall and tell him that the jade fan and box left by Zhang's mother were placed behind the vertical beam, this position is very hidden, even if Si Xi pointed to the location, he may not be able to find it, let alone the person who came to find something. Sixi was afraid that after she left, the grandmother of the Zhang family would definitely come to look for something, and Zhang's father and Zhang's mother's room was the key place to find, so it was better to put it on the shrine in the hall, and they would never climb the beam to touch it slowly. In fact, Si Xi also thought about taking it with her, but she was going to work, and it was not safe to take it with her, so she dispelled this idea.

The grandmother and uncle's family of the Zhang family, who had not appeared, came over on the first night of Sixi's departure, when Sixi and Zhang Qing were practicing boxing in the courtyard, and they closed their momentum when they saw them coming from a distance.

"Grandma, uncle, auntie, why are you here? Come in and sit down. ”

"You're leaving tomorrow, let's come over and have a look, and Zhang Qing will come to my house for dinner from tomorrow." The eldest lady spoke first.

"Thank you, auntie, uncle, because you helped take care of my mother's aftermath before, it has made you a lot of trouble, and you don't dare to let A-Qing make trouble for you again. Ah Qing and I cleaned up the things left by my mother, and some food stamps and 20 yuan were handed over to the school as meals. Si Xi said with a smile, seeing that the eldest lady was displeased, the Zhang family's grandmother interface was a lesson:

"I don't eat at home, I want to go to school to eat, how good it is to eat, I told me before that I have no money, I know that you are difficult and I don't let you take living expenses, I didn't expect you to have money and not give it to your own family members to outsiders. You are just like your dead mother, you have no conscience, no filial piety, no care for the elderly, my short-lived son......" The grandmother of the Zhang family cried directly.

Si Xi resisted the urge to do it, and now in this era, filial piety is very important, and Zhang Qing can't be difficult to be a man in the future. Hurriedly went over to support the grandmother of the Zhang family, "Grandma, don't be angry, it's just that when Zhang Qing is growing up now, he eats a lot, and he can't cause trouble to the uncle's family." Don't worry, I'll go out to work tomorrow, I said before that I will give you and grandpa 20 yuan a month, I remember it, and I will return the money to you when the time comes, although my parents are gone, but how can we ignore you, you have to take care of your body and think about your children and grandchildren. ”

"Really, 20 yuan a month?"

"Really, Grandma, when A-Qing goes to school, if you have time, come to my house to have a look, so as not to be robbed and it will not be safe for A-Qing to come back at night."

Sixi went to work in an electronics factory in Liuzhou City, along the coast, with food and accommodation, 68 yuan a month, and she usually didn't need money except to buy some daily necessities. In addition to remitting back the travel expenses borrowed from Aunt Liu and the money that is remitted regularly every month, I also have a deposit of about 100 yuan in my hand in a few months. When she doesn't go to work, she will also walk around to see what the money is comparative, after all, this is an era full of opportunities, and Zhang Qing needs money to go to high school and college after that, she has to get some money as a capital to do some business, in case of depreciation in the future, at least there are projects that will make money, and it is not wise to save money now.

It really made her find a store that sells clothes in the Republic of China, and now they accept new things, compared with foreign suits and dresses, the clothing of the Republic of China is relatively too niche, the shopkeeper is reluctant to sell dresses and the like, it is said that he doesn't want these foreign things to dirty his century-old store, so now this store is about to close, and the coastal city has slowly become able to buy clothes and cloth without a cloth ticket, Si Xi has an idea in her heart is about to move, she entered the store and looked at it casually, the clothes in this store are actually very good, Excellent workmanship means that the style is more traditional, such as tunics, cheongsam, Tang costumes and the like.

When the shopkeeper saw Si Xi coming in, and saw her wearing a coarse blue uniform, he said to her:

"Little girl, you can look at the clothes here, they are much cheaper than the cheongsam." He was referring to the button-down school uniform similar to the Republic of China style, but there was embroidery on the clothes and skirts, which was still very good, and the shopkeeper was still quite realistic, and he didn't introduce the expensive ones to her.

"Boss, your clothes don't look good now, they're outdated, and there are a lot of good-looking shirts and skirts and small suits outside."

The shopkeeper was not angry, "Little girl, now everyone just feels new about new things, and when the freshness passes, they will feel that it is still their own tradition, you are delicate, and your skin is white, this set is more suitable for you." As he spoke, he pointed to a set of pale pink buttoned student uniforms that had been slightly cinched at the waist and motioned to Si Xi to look.

"Boss, I also believe in your vision, I won't try, about how much, it's too expensive for me to afford."

"This one is not expensive, the expensive one is over there," the boss pointed to a row of cheongsams on the other side.

After paying, Si Xi did not leave, but talked with the shopkeeper, the original shopkeeper surnamed Wang, himself is a tailor, this shop is passed down from the grandfather's generation, but now because I don't agree with some foreign ideas so there is no popular clothing in the store, Si Xi thought about it, asked the shopkeeper if he could help her make a dress, the fabric should be sweat-absorbing after all, and then described the sweatshirt and sweatpants to the shopkeeper, ordered two sets, gave a deposit of 20 yuan, and agreed to take it after a week.

When the time came, when Si Xi went to pick it up, Boss Wang told her that the pure fabric could not make this effect, he still ran to many places, and finally bought the elastic cotton fabric in the garment factory to make it, Si Xi asked him with a smile: "Are you interested in doing it yourself, this is the style we think of ourselves, and it is not a foreign ......" and then began to turn on the flickering mode.
