On these drawings, the model painted by Xia Zhi has a petite face and slender limbs, which looks like a strong but clean feeling.

The clothes on the models are also beautiful and have a new style, just...

Xu Aihong frowned, feeling that some of the clothes on these models were too revealing, showing their arms and thighs, would anyone buy such clothes?

In this era, the atmosphere is still somewhat conservative, although the policy has changed, but the people's thinking cannot be changed for a while.

However, this kind of thought is just a flash, Xu Aihong thought of the clothes designed by Xia Zhi, which are highly respected in the entire capital, and the clothes are sold so quickly, a big reason is ingenuity.

This spring is coming soon, and summer is coming, which should be the summer clothes designed for women on the summer solstice, although they are a little revealing, but the clothes painted on the picture are really beautiful.

Although Xu Aihong hates Xia Zhi, she is still very confident in the clothes designed by Xia Zhi, since Xia Zhi has designed these clothes, she must think that these clothes can be sold.

The doubts in Xu Aihong's heart gradually dissipated, and she smiled and said to Feng Xiaolian, who was waiting for her to reply, "This is indeed the drawing I wanted." ”

Feng Xiaolian was overjoyed when she heard this, and then said embarrassedly, "Since these drawings are what you want, then Comrade Xu, let's talk about the 300 yuan..."

Xu Aihong despised these people from the Zhang family in her heart, but she still smiled and said, "Isn't it just 300 yuan, a trivial matter." ”

With that, he got up and went into the back room, took out a wad of great unity from it, and put it on the table.

Feng Xiaolian, Xia Ling, and Zhang Pandi were all attracted by the great unity on the table, and Feng Xiaolian no longer hesitated, and directly gave Xu Aihong all the drawings in her hand.

Xu Aihong took the drawings and looked at them carefully one by one, and couldn't help but admire the whimsy of the summer solstice.

She had never seen the clothes on the painting, not only novel, but also very beautiful, with only one drawback, that is, it was too exposed.

But now that the policy has changed, maybe the people will like it, right?

There is also a regret that the summer solstice did not color these clothes, but this is not a difficult thing for Xu Aihong, clothes, as long as the style is good-looking, any color is fine, and it is a big deal to make a few more colors when the time comes.

Xia Ling saw Feng Xiaolian stuffing the 300 yuan into her pocket, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart.

I think that in order to please Zhang Xiaohui, she stole 2,000 yuan from her father, and during that time, she spent money like water, wore the best clothes, ate the best food, and fell in love with the man she liked.

Think about it now...

Xia Ling looked at her rough palms covered with calluses, fat and greasy hands, and cloudy eyes, flashing a little gloomy, but soon this gloom was replaced by brightness.

Xia Ling looked at Xu Aihong expectantly and said, "Big sister, didn't you say that I should go to work in your factory?" Do you think you can go now? ”

Xu Aihong got the drawings that she had in mind, where would she want to deal with the Zhang family?

So Xu Aihong said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, you also know that our family's business is not good now, clothes can't be sold, and we can't make much money.

But don't worry, sister, now I have these drawings, and when I make these clothes and sell them, and make money, our factory will definitely expand its scale, and I will definitely invite my sister to work in our factory when the time comes, how about it? ”

Xia Ling became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" We said before, as long as we give you the drawings, you will let us work in your factory? ”

Feng Xiaolian on the side was also dissatisfied, "Yes, Comrade Xu, what do you mean by this?" You said yes at the beginning, and you said that I and my lover would go to work in your factory and give us a high salary, can you deny this? ”

Xu Aihong smiled, her attitude was very friendly, she was not angry at all, but comforted, "Auntie, sister, don't be angry, I can't help it, our factory is not profitable, and we can't make any money.

I can't afford to hire workers like you, but don't worry, when our factory makes these clothes and sells them, and makes money, we will invite you to work as soon as we expand the scale, so you wait for a while. ”

Feng Xiaolian is not a good person, and when she saw that Xu Aihong did not fulfill her promise, she was a little angry and said, "Comrade Xu, that's not what you said. ”

Seeing that Feng Xiaolian was angry, Xu Aihong was not afraid, spread her hands, and said, "I can't help it if my aunt is angry, we really can't afford to support you idlers in the factory now, but when our factory expands in the future, we will definitely invite you to work in the factory, don't worry!" ”

Hearing Xu Aihong say that they were idlers, Feng Xiaolian suddenly became angry, pointed at Xu Aihong and said, "My lover and I used to be cadres of the Revolutionary Committee, we are big leaders, how can we be idlers?" We can go to your factory, that's to give you face. ”

"Okay, okay," Xu Aihong said impatiently, "Whatever you say, anyway, I can't give you this job now, you can come back when my factory makes money!" ”

Feng Xiaolian said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that we will tell you about this matter?" ”

Xu Aihong sneered, not afraid at all, and said in a casual tone, "You go and say it!" If you have the ability, go and report it! Said to the public security comrades: You asked your granddaughter to steal the drawings in other people's factories, I want to see if you will be arrested by the public security comrades? ”

Feng Xiaolian trembled with anger, pointed at Xu Aihong and said, "You... You instigated us to steal it. ”

Xu Aihong snorted and said, "I let you steal it, but I also gave you money!" If you go to the police, let the police arrest you and us. ”

Xu Aihong's heart is vicious, she has long seen that the Zhang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she will invite the Zhang family to work in her factory because of her brain disease, she wants to make money, not to support her ancestors.

Besides, according to Xu Aihong's understanding of the Zhang family, this group of people is a group of people who eat soft and hard things, let them go to the police, this group of people don't dare at all.

reported to the police, even if Xu Aihong would be unlucky, could the Zhang family not be at fault at all?

Feng Xiaolian's face turned into the color of pig liver, and she pointed at Xu Aihong and said, "Okay, good, you are ruthless!" ”

Then stood up suddenly, turned around and was about to leave, Zhang Pandi, who was sitting on the side, was dumbfounded, she thought that as long as she stole the drawings and gave them to this Xu Aihong,

Xu Aihong would give their family 300 yuan, and would also let their family go to work in her factory, she could earn 20 yuan a month, and she would keep five yuan of pocket money, which prompted her to steal the drawings of the summer solstice.

didn't expect that this Xu Aihong would suddenly turn her face and deny people, and the promised job opportunities would not be fulfilled at all, if Xu Aihong didn't let them go to work in her factory, what would she do in the future?

Zhang Pandi suddenly regretted a little, in the factory of the summer solstice, she ate well, dressed well, didn't have to starve, and didn't have to be beaten and scolded by Feng Xiaolian and Xia Ling?

But now, she stole the drawings of the summer solstice, and the factory of the summer solstice will definitely not want her again, so her only possibility is to go home again and continue to live the old days.

I have to get up before dawn every day to make money by pasting matchboxes, I can't go to school, I have to be beaten, scolded, and not fed and clothed every day, that kind of day is simply hell, but now Zhang Pandi regrets it too late.

Only Xia Ling was still stupid, and said to Xu Aihong with an expectant face, "Big sister, when your factory expands in the future, you must invite me to work, let's talk about it." ”

Xu Aihong listened to Xia Ling's words, and looked at Xia Ling with eyes like an idiot, she just said that she wanted to make both sides look better, and she didn't mean to invite the Zhang family to work in her factory at all.

And is this Xia Ling in front of her sick in the brain?

She said it so obviously, she didn't even see it, she deserved to be called like a dog by the Zhang family.

Xu Aihong nodded with a smile, her eyes full of mockery.

But Xia Ling didn't seem to see it, and her tone was full of pleading, as if Xu Aihong was her only salvation, and her attitude was extraordinarily humble.

Even Zhang Pandi on the side looked at Xia Ling with disdain in her eyes, even her children understood that Xu Aihong was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and the drawings were in hand, and she didn't want to invite people from the Zhang family to work in her factory at all.

Only Xia Ling still had unrealistic fantasies, and Feng Xiaolian shouted angrily, "Xia Ling, you shameless person, can't you leave?" ”

Xia Ling saw that Feng Xiaolian was angry, so she responded again and again, turned around and trotted to Feng Xiaolian's side.

Zhang Pandi glared at Xu Aihong viciously, Xu Aihong sneered, and didn't take Zhang Pandi's child in her eyes at all.

After the Zhang family left, at noon, Zhao Daguang came back, Xu Aihong excitedly pulled Zhao Daguang into the house, and then showed the drawings to Zhao Daguang, Zhao Daguang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Aihong with appreciation, "Daughter-in-law, you are really amazing." ”

Xu Aihong hummed softly in her mouth, looking quite proud.

Zhao Daguang carefully looked at the drawings in his hand one by one, frowned and said, "Daughter-in-law, these clothes are beautiful, that is..."

Xu Aihong understood what Zhao Daguang wanted to say, and said directly, "You want to say that it is too exposed?" ”

Zhao Daguang nodded and said, "I'm afraid that no one will dare to buy it then?" ”

Xu Aihong also said, "I saw the drawings before and thought of this problem, but now the atmosphere is different, you look at the bell bottoms that swept the whole country last year, who dared to wear them before?" It's not popular with young people. ”

Zhao Daguang thought about it and felt reasonable, so he asked Xu Aihong, "Then daughter-in-law, let's produce these clothes next?" ”

Xu Aihong said with a decisive tone, "Yes." ”

Zhao Daguang was also persuaded by Xu Aihong, he was unwilling to always follow Xia Zhi, drink some soup, and watch Xia Zhi eat meat, he was already jealous in his heart.

Now that he finally got the drawings drawn by Xia Zhi, Zhao Daguang was not willing to give up, so the husband and wife decided to produce clothes according to the drawings drawn by Xia Zhi.

After Xia Zhi rode a bicycle to the factory the next day, he went directly into his office and found that the drawings in the drawer were indeed missing, Xia Zhi sneered in his heart, but pretended to be panicked on his face, and called a meeting of all the workers.

The workers had just finished breakfast and were about to go to work when they were notified that the factory director was going to have a meeting, and everyone gathered in an open space next to the workshop.

Xia Zhi stood on a table with a cold face, and then said, "Hello colleagues! The reason why we are calling you here today is because there are thieves in our factory. ”

As soon as everyone in the audience heard Xia Zhi's words, they exploded and talked around, full of resentment.

Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi looked a little uneasy, because they guessed that the thief should be Zhang Pandi.

The two girls were afraid that Xia Zhi would anger them, so they kicked them out of the factory, although Xu Aihong promised: to work in her factory, she can get 20 yuan a month, and take care of food and housing, but the two children still like to work in the factory on Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi waved his hand, everyone quieted down, Xia Zhi said, "Someone saw Zhang Pandi enter my office in the dark last night, and that Zhang Pandi stole the costume artwork I designed. ”

When the workers in the audience heard this, Zhang Pandi, the white-eyed wolf, stole the clothes and drawings designed by Xia Zhi, and immediately scolded.

"That little girl, I knew as soon as I saw her that she wasn't an honest person."

"That's it, how good the factory director is to her, she is really a white-eyed wolf."

"That little girl can't steal the artwork drawn by our factory director for no reason, she must have taken it out and sold it."

"The factory director should call the police and let the police arrest that little girl to the police station."

"That's right! That's right. ”

After the workers calmed down, Xia Zhi spoke again, "I have already called the police for this matter, and now I announce that Zhang Pandi will be fired, I hope everyone will learn from it and go to work now." ”

The workers scolded and scattered, Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi stood uneasy and did not move, and after the workers left, the two children walked in front of Xia Zhi.

Zhang Laidi choked up with red eyes, "Auntie, I'm sorry!" ”

Zhang Zhaodi also looked at Xia Zhi pitifully, and then said, "Auntie, it's all the second sister who is not good, don't be angry." ”

Stealing the drawings was done by Zhang Pandi, Xia Zhi will not be angry with Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi, after all, Zhang Laidi reported Zhang Pandi, this is a good boy, Xia Zhi comforted,

"Don't worry, do a good job in the factory, I won't fire you, I just hope you don't do the same thing as Zhang Pandi in the future, otherwise, I will not tolerate it."

Zhang Laidi and Zhang Zhaodi saw that Xia Zhi had no intention of expelling them, so they nodded happily and said, "Auntie, don't worry, we will never be white-eyed wolves." ”

Xia Zhi waved his hand to let the two children go to work, but still told Meng Liang to keep an eye on the two children.

She didn't fully trust her two children.

After a while, two police officers came to the factory to investigate the matter.

Zhang Pandi is still young, even if she is found to be a thief, the police can only teach her two sentences and will let her go, but the posture still has to be put on a show.

The public security comrade entered Xia Zhi's office, and there were still footprints left by Zhang Pandi when she came last night, plus there were still witnesses, and the public security comrades collected some evidence, and then left the factory and went to Zhang's house.

Feng Xiaolian took Zhang Pandi and Xia Ling home, and Zhang Fulai was still sitting on the dream of going to Xu Aihong's factory to be a cadre, but he didn't expect it to be empty.

After Feng Xiaolian went home, she scolded Xu Aihong, "That shameless little prostitute dared to lie to me and made me angry." ”

Zhang Fulai's gloomy face, snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the house.

Feng Xiaolian became angry when she saw Xia Ling and Zhang Pandi, and pointed at Zhang Pandi and said, "What are you still doing at home?" Why don't you go to work in the factory? ”

Zhang Pandi gritted her teeth and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, I don't dare to go." ”

Xia Zhi's drawings are lost, and they will definitely be thoroughly investigated, in case they are found on her body, and she goes, won't she fall into the net?

Feng Xiaolian listened, glared at Zhang Pandi, and scolded angrily, "Useless things." ”

Just when Feng Xiaolian was scolding, someone knocked on their door.

Feng Xiaolian glanced at Xia Ling, who was standing in front of her with her head down, like a wooden man, and scolded, "Go open the door, are you deaf or dumb?" Can't you hear someone knocking on the door? ”

Xia Ling's scolded body was excited, and she hurriedly turned around to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, she saw two comrades in public security uniforms standing outside the door. ”

Xia Ling nodded and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

The two public security comrades said solemnly, "We are investigating a theft case, is Zhang Pandi at home?" We're going to ask her about the situation. ”

Xia Ling's face turned pale immediately, knowing that it was Zhang Pandi who stole the summer solstice drawings that was exposed, it must be the police who reported to Xia Zhi, Xia Ling kept cursing Xia Zhi in her heart.

After the two public security comrades entered the door, Zhang Pandi saw the public security, and her body trembled with fright, and she jumped directly behind Feng Xiaolian and hid.

Feng Xiaolian was also a little flustered when she saw the two public security comrades, and hurriedly asked, "Two comrades, what are you doing here?" ”

The eyes of the two public security comrades all fell on Zhang Pandi, and they asked, "May I ask if this kid's name is Zhang Pandi?" ”

Feng Xiaolian didn't expect Xia Zhi to do things so desperately, she really dared to call the police, how could Zhang Pandi say that she was also her own niece and nephew?

Feng Xiaolian was also a little panicked, after all, she was the one who pulled Zhang Pandi to steal the drawings, and she also sold those drawings for 300 yuan.

Feng Xiaolian was reluctant to hand over the money again, Feng Xiaolian turned her head to look at Zhang Pandi, and kept giving Zhang Pandi a look.

Zhang Pandi glanced at Feng Xiaolian and didn't speak.

The two public security comrades frowned and said, "This female comrade, we want to know some information from Zhang Pandi's children, is it okay?"

Of course, Feng Xiaolian didn't want to, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she nodded with a smile.

Then the public security comrade came to Zhang Pandi and asked, "Zhang Pandi, we learned that you are currently working in a garment factory, and we would like to ask you, have you been to the office of your factory director Xia Zhi last night?" ”

When Zhang Pandi heard the questions of the two public security comrades, she lowered her head and her hands were tightly stirred together, looking a little uneasy and afraid.

Zhang Pandi is thin and small, and he is still a child, and the two public security comrades also have some pity for her, and their voices are much softer, "Zhang Pandi, I hope you can answer truthfully." ”
