Chapter 7 Craft Reproduction
Time flies quickly in the enriching and fun cooking lessons and the alternation of cooking big meals for the family every week. In the blink of an eye, it is late June, and the final exams for junior high school students are about to begin.
Due to the first three monthly exams, Xi Yizheng was better than the last, so she didn't want to hide her strength at all in the final exam, and directly boiled the entire Yinglai Junior High School with the first score in the overall grade, completely confirming her unpopular king's bench. But she didn't care at all about the topics discussed by her classmates. As long as she doesn't mess with her, she is happy to become the talking point of others. It's just that there are always a few people who are not interested.
"Hey, Xi Yizheng, honestly, did you cheat?" Yi Xingyu, who was sitting in the back seat of Xi Yizheng, looked at Xi Yizheng who was reading a book with a jealous face, and was indignant, hoping to force her to tell the fact that she cheated to get good grades.
"Yes, yes, who has jumped from below 400 in the grade to the first place in just a few months? There must be a cat in it! Several girls who usually befriend Yi Xingyu also speculated indignantly. It seems that there are still a lot of people around who have good grades for themselves
So dissatisfied. Xi Yizheng thought funny.
"You see that she doesn't explain, she must be weak-hearted! There is a problem, there is a problem! ”
"It's just, it's shameless!"
"I can't see it! Usually very well-behaved! ”
Yi Xingyu listened to the remarks around her that agreed with her guess, and proudly raised her chin and waited for Xi Yizheng's answer.
Xi Yizheng blinked innocently, I really didn't expect that these girls who usually talk like mosquitoes in front of handsome guys and can fry eggs with a blushing face are so vicious in their words and sentences in front of her? Something out of nothing is simply pulled by them with evidence. Did she not speak, but they thought that she was cheating on the exam? She patted her forehead weakly, "Please get out of the way, the air is too bad." She opened her mouth indifferently.
"Hey! Xi Yizheng, don't think that we won't dare to talk about you when your brother is in the second year of junior high school, even if your brother is standing here, we will still say it, because you are so disgusting! "Yi Xingyu is still a wicked woman scolding the street, holding a teapot with her hands on her waist? Xi Yizheng looked
I laughed secretly in my heart at her movements. These naïve girls, big sister, I really don't want to waste my tongue arguing with you. But why don't you find something serious? Can good grades be used as a reason to be scolded?
"Who's disgusting?" An inquiry came from outside the crowd.
"Of course, it's Xi Yizheng! Who else but her! Yi Xingyu subconsciously answered the question, but in an instant, she stayed where she was. Because, Xi Yidi stood in front of her, angry. Behind him, side by side stood Fan Youmin, Fang Zhe and other representatives of the second and second best students of junior high school, and they were also the most popular boys in Yinglai Junior High School.
"Next time, whoever says no to my sister again, I will definitely break the convention of not beating women." Xi Yidi glanced around coldly, "Whoever doesn't believe it, you can try!" After speaking, he took Xi Yizheng's schoolbag and pulled her out of Class 3 of the second year of junior high school. Fan
Youmin, Fang Zhe and the others also looked around coldly, and jumped out with the fish behind him.
"You don't get angry when they say it's so ugly?" Xi Yidi said sullenly. Because his little sister has been smiling sweetly at herself since she left the classroom.
"It feels good to have my brother to protect me!" Xi Yizheng smiled and took his arm. Really, she tasted the feeling of being cared for by her family for the first time, and she was very happy!
"Zheng, congratulations! Topped the red list! Fang Zhe, who had been accompanying him all the time, congratulated with a smile, the first seat in Yinglai was taken away by Xi Yidi's little sister, and he didn't mind at all. Because he snatched all kinds of snacks and snacks made by the little sister of the Xi family from Xi Yidi's hands. It would be nice if I also had such a caring and capable sister!
Naturally, Fan Youmin is also thoughtful. The cute girl who had been silently paying attention to him all this time suddenly stepped in front of him strongly. Now it's time for him to catch up. He felt a sense of loss in his heart. Seeing Xi Yizheng sweetly coquettish to her little brother, he couldn't help but feel pantothenic in his heart. Even if you can't be the person who stands by her side and accompanies her for the rest of your life, it's good to be her little brother. Listening to the seat boasting about his little sister who can cook all kinds of big meals and all kinds of snacks, he is envious. However, it can only be envy.
Xi Yidi and Xi Yizheng didn't notice what the two big boys around them were thinking at all, and they made fun of each other. A blissful summer vacation is coming. You can temporarily avoid the junior high school life that makes you feel aggrieved, and avoid the noisy girls around you, happiness can be very simple!
On the fifth day after the start of the summer vacation, Xi's parents still went to work, and Xi Yidi also went to special training. After Xi Yizheng completed a lot of summer homework assigned by school, she was bored and drew random sketches in Xuanyuan's design room, and she wanted to make clothes for herself and her family. However, she can't take out the clothes openly and say that she made them herself. So I struggled while drawing the design draft. Anyway, it's okay to buy it at the mall and give it to them, but after she thinks about it, if she has itchy hands again, she can't lie every time and say that she bought it. Besides, there is no label on the clothes or anything like that. Putting down the sketch pencil in her hand, leaning on the desk with her chin propped up, she thought about it for a long time, and decided to report to her family that she had signed up for a fashion design class during the summer vacation. Nodding, he went out of the bracelet and searched the Internet for relevant local training courses, and finally found a similar clothing training club. I happily downloaded the materials about the training club. She didn't really want to go, but under the guise of giving herself a righteous and bright reason to be able to make clothes.
On the same day, Xi's parents came home from work, and Xi Yizheng sent this stack of materials, and repeatedly emphasized that this was their hobby in the puzzled eyes of the couple, and like cooking, they guaranteed that there would be no beginning and no end. In the end, Xi's parents agreed to her request. Since their daughter attended a cooking class and made dishes that rivaled the skills of a chef once a week, their trust and confidence in her were stronger than she was in person.
So, for the next two months, except for weekends, Xi Yizheng spent almost every day in Xuanbang. The family thought she was in that costume training club, and they didn't think much about it.
In the Xuanyuan Design Studio, when I was tired of sketching, I put up a parasol on the beach, and lay on the beach wearing sunglasses to watch many seabirds hovering at low altitude. From time to time, her mind flashed the size of her family and the style of dressing on weekdays, and she had drawn several dozen clothing drafts in a week, and finally selected a set of design drafts that were most suitable for the season and in line with their personal style. Next, we started cutting and sewing.
Yes, all the garments that came from her hands were sewn by herself, including the silk thread embroidery used for the decoration of the garments. Without the help of any modern machines, just by her excellent workmanship. Of course, after creating Xi's in her last life, Xi's garment factory was based on her popular clothing design drawings for large-scale machine weaving, only her direct management of Xi's clothing design workshop still hand-accepted clothing orders, at first she was alone, and then she was too busy to recruit two assistants. It's just that in less than a year, she was forced by that bad man to leave the design field that she had worked hard and watered, and inadvertently came to this strange country.
She shook her head with a wry smile, trying to erase all old memories. Now, she feels that life is good. Although she still has a few years to go through her student life, her family will not object or even support unconditionally what she wants to do in her spare time. Thinking of her current family, her eyes were full of smiles. It is her luck to be reborn in such a family!
At the end of July, Xi Yizheng finished the summer clothes for his parents, grandfather, and grandparents. Xi's father and mother are all a set of couple-style casual clothes made of silk materials, with a short-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body and midpants on the bottom. It's just that the men's and women's models have their own characteristics, the men's models are silver-gray, the T-shirt is a V-neck, one side hem is embroidered with a few pieces of green bamboo leaves with dark gray silk thread, the length reaches the hips, and the pants are loose with shallow pockets. The women's model is gray-green, the T-shirt is also a V-neck, the neckline is jasmine petals embroidered with dark green silk thread, only slightly tightened at the waist, and then slightly open, the length is slightly over the hips, and the knee-length pants are very slim. For my grandfather and grandparents, I made a loose cardigan made of silk fabric. The top is short-sleeved and buttoned. The lower body is trousers. The three sets of styles are the same, but the colors are different. Grandma's is a beige background crimson flowers, a men's set is a white background coffee pattern, and a set is a white background navy blue flower ornament.
Xi's father and mother held the clothes in their hands for a long time and didn't come back to their senses, this is a craft that their daughter has only learned for less than a month? She's not a genius, is she? Look at the interfaces, edge sealing, and embroidery of this dress, they are all neat and clean, without any crooked wrong stitches and missing stitches.
If the daughter didn't say that she made it herself, they would definitely think that she bought it from some counter. They looked at each other and then looked at each other with joy. This is made by my daughter and given to them! In addition to joy, I couldn't help but be jealous. My daughter either doesn't do it, but she is so powerful when she does it, she said that she wants to learn cooking skills and she is comparable to a chef in just a few weeks, and now she says that she wants to learn tailoring, and the ready-to-wear comes out in less than a month, and the handiwork is not generally good. Which man will marry in the future must not be earned to death by him! At the age of 13 and a half, Xi's parents became jealous of her future husband, their future son-in-law, a man who had not yet appeared.
Xi Yizheng looked at the thousands of changing faces of his parents with amusement, and finally froze in the expression of great joy but full of jealousy. Hey, she can understand the joy, what is jealousy? Are you jealous that her craft is better than theirs? Then she shook her head, not thinking about it. As long as they like the clothes she makes, I can make them a few more sets when I have time in the future. But in the next month, she plans to make a summer dress for herself, her eldest brother, and her younger brother. sighed, I hadn't touched it for a long time, and it felt a lot rusty. What used to be a simple costume that could be done in half an hour now takes several times more time to complete. Sure enough, the craft is a technique that needs to be practiced every day. She decided to practice her hands in the Xuan Yuan for a few hours every day before going to bed in the future. Be sure to return to the craft of garment-making in its heyday.
On the Sunday when Xi Yixiao went home, she divided the clothes for her elders and the various Cantonese snacks she had made a few days ago into two large bags and asked him to send them to her grandfather and grandparents. Those who have a car work harder! She smiled wickedly. was played by Xi Yixiao and remembered the door of his head. Woo! She rubbed her forehead and looked at her eldest brother complainingly, "Mom and Dad have them, but what about mine?" Xi Yixiao asked unceremoniously. Oh, so I mean clothes. "Yes, yes. I'll do it for you next month. Xi Yizheng hurriedly made a promise. I was going to do it. It's just that there is always a sequence. Naturally, the elders come first. Xi Yixiao didn't embarrass her when she readily agreed, and after enjoying the noon meal, he picked up the gifts for the old men and a large basket of fresh fruits of his own. A few gluttons in the same dormitory have tasted a few fruits that they brought back, and remind him every day not to forget to get the fruits when they go home. He wondered, why did the fruit that my little sister bought taste much crisper and more refreshing than the fruit store bought?
Xi Yidi returned home from special training, knowing that she was learning to make clothes, in addition to asking her to make herself a summer sportswear - sleeveless T-shirt and shorts, but also a set of cool summer clothes that can be worn on formal occasions, because Xi Yidi was going to attend the wedding of a special training team member in mid-August. After hearing this, Xi Yizheng lowered his head, it was too treacherous. Didn't you finish the costumes of the elders first! It's not that they don't do it, there are such conditions! Although the former's sports summer dress is simple, she can complete it in less than half a day. As for the summer formal wear, she began to fall into a chaotic struggle in her heart, and the styles of the previous life may not be suitable for this life, and it will take a long time to redesign. The time limit given by the little brother is up to half a month.
So, in the next half month, she buried her head in struggle. Finally took out the clothes that the little brother asked for before August 15th: the top was a white, gray, and blue three-color fine checkered mid-sleeve shirt blended with cotton and silk, with a shallow vertical collar, and a slightly narrow cuff and neckline with the same method of edging, which looked more slender after wearing. The lower body is paired with thin light grey slacks made of linen. Xi Yidi put it on and tried it, it was very cool but not rude. He happily hugged his little sister and took a "chirp", "It's so beautiful!" Zheng, you can go to be a designer. "I'm a designer. Xi pouted with a kite. Handing over another sleeveless suit, a thin cotton sleeveless undershirt and shorts, the work she completed in less than two hours also made Xi Yidi happily put on and played.
After sending Xi Yidi away, she began to make clothes for her eldest brother again. Thinking that Xi Yixiao often has to go to the company, he can't be too casual and casual. So, she designed a summer dress that was highly sought after by young people in the previous life, and integrated elements of this world and Xi Yixiao's own style: a lapel shirt with casual trousers. The short-sleeved lapel shirt with beige and dark green pinstripes intertwined with silk and cotton blend looks vertical and close-fitting, with a row of 3 delicate small buttons at the neckline, and a small opening on the left and right sides of the hem, and the delicate edging looks formal and casual. I chose Western-style slacks made of beige linen, which are loose and not bulky. Xi Yixiao should like it. Xi Yizheng nodded in satisfaction. Immediately, he also made a sleeveless undershirt and shorts from the cotton fabric left over from the past, which are suitable for wearing in the school dormitory.
Before the end of the summer vacation, Xi Yizheng made two student outfits for himself. One set is a cotton short-sleeved shirt with powder blue flowers on a white background and a knee-length skirt with white flowers on a blue background. One set is a short-sleeved straight-neck T-shirt in silk fabric and slim-fit cropped cotton pants. It's better to be conservative when you're a student. Provincial attention. She thought that these two sets were completely in line with the temperament of students. Who would have thought that the two costumes she designed led a clothing revolution in Yinglai Junior High School. Many girls followed her in wearing this T-shirt and cropped pants. There was no similar style in the mall, so parents asked them to find a tailor to do it. Of course, the effect is not as good as what Xi Yizheng wears. Even if the style is the same, the fabric and workmanship are not up to her set. For this reason, Xi Yizheng struggled for a long time, and wanted to be low-key, but it turned out to be high-profile. It seems that in the future, it is better to wear less clothes that you make yourself.
