Chapter 118 The Dreams of Four Girls

Jiang Yuyan is Jiang Xingmei's cousin within the fifth degree of mourning. She is three years older than her. A few years ago, the family went to great lengths and spent a lot of money to find her a temporary job in the city, paying fifteen yuan a month.

Jiang Yuyan came back once a week and often showed off in front of Jiang Xingmei. She watched a movie in the city, had braised pork at a state-owned restaurant, went to the city park, and a handsome boy in the city liked her...

Jiang Xingmei was only eighteen years old, so it was impossible for her not to be envious, but she did not have unrealistic ambitions, and she had no intention of trying to climb up the social ladder.

But if the production team could run a garment factory and she could get a salary from it, wouldn't that be the same as life in the city?
The more the three girls thought about it, the more they felt that this could be done, and they decided to take it down in one go.

Yu Xiaomin quickly helped Qiao Xinyu make two more sets of clothes. Jiang Xingmei changed into the new clothes, and Yu Xiaomin also put on the black skirt and a pair of small wedge-heeled leather shoes. The four of them went to the team leader's house together.

Xu Qinghuan also helped Jiang Xingmei to re-braid her hair, combing two fluffy centipede braids from her head, and then separating two more braids at the back of her head, for a total of four braids, which made her look even more playful and cute.

Qiao Xinyu has a fluffy centipede braid with the ends folded up and tied at the roots, making her look more intellectual and beautiful overall.

Although Xu Qinghuan and Yu Xiaomin were not wearing new clothes, one was already extremely beautiful, with a cool and ethereal air, while Yu Xiaomin was calm and simple. The four of them walking together formed an eye-catching landscape for the Shangjiang Brigade.

"Look at Xingmei's dress. Where did she buy it? I've never seen a dress like this before. It's so beautiful."

"Xu Zhiqing brought it from Shen City and gave it to Xingmei? This must be a style from a big city!"

"Mom, do you have any cloth at home? I want to make a set of clothes like this too. It will definitely look good when I wear it out!"

In those days, the quota of cloth per person per year was only three feet and three inches. Children under ten years old could only make a set of clothes, so the family saved for a year to see if they could buy a set of adult clothes.

But you can't buy cloth just by having cloth coupons, you need money. After earning a year's work points, almost half of the production team's households were overspending and owed the production team food rations. They couldn't even get enough to eat, so how could they have money to buy cloth?

Three years new, three years old, and three years of mending is the norm.

However, no matter how poor the family is, when the girl reaches the age of marriage, they will buy her a set of clothes. The family who loves the girl will choose a good in-law, and the family who is waiting for the bride price will be able to sell the girl for a good price.

Zhou Guizhi saw a beautiful and fashionable girl coming in and was stunned for a moment. It was not until Jiang Xingmei came up to her and called her "Mom" that she roughly recognized that this was her own girl.

"Auntie!" Xu Qinghuan followed up with a shout.

Zhou Guizhi then pointed at Jiang Xingmei and said, "You're wearing Huanhuan's clothes? Meizi, how can you be so shameless? How dare you wear Huanhuan's clothes? I'll beat you to death, you tactless thing!"

Xu Qinghuan quickly grabbed Zhou Guizhi and said, "Aunt, do you think Sister Meizi's outfit is okay?"

Since she hadn't gotten married yet, Xu Qinghuan naturally didn't change her mind.

Zhou Guizhi looked her daughter up and down and nodded involuntarily, "Okay, absolutely great. The main thing is that the dress is good, it looks really good!"

It's purely about appreciating the clothes.

Jiang Xingmei was furious. "Can't you just say I'm pretty?"

"Auntie, what about me? What about my outfit?" Qiao Xinyu walked over, turned around, and showed herself off openly.

Zhou Guizhi praised, "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful people, beautiful clothes too!"

Jiang Xingmei grew even angrier, "Are you still my biological mother? Am I not pretty?" "You silly girl, I raised you, how could I not know your worth? You have a big face and green eyes, and I'm giving you face by not calling you ugly!"

Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Auntie, what's wrong with Sister Meizi? You're wronging her by saying this. She's obviously a very beautiful girl, but you insist on making her look ugly."

Jiang Xingmei was also very open-minded. "Huanhuan, don't bother with my mother. She can say whatever she wants. I was born by her, and if she says that, she's just saying she's ugly."

After watching the mother and daughter banter for a while, Zhou Guizhi invited the four of them inside to sit down. Coincidentally, the captain was also there, so Xu Qinghuan explained his intention, "Captain, look, our cooking skills are pretty good, aren't they?"

Jiang Baohua nodded. "Yes, she is very clever and skillful. We have never seen the style of this dress before."

Yu Xiaomin said, "Uncle Captain, even the largest department store in Shen City doesn't sell these styles."

Jiang Baohua and Zhou Guizhi were both stunned for a moment. "Is this the style you came up with? It's really beautiful. I'm not flattering you!"

Yu Xiaomin said, "Huanhuan designed the style of this dress. She came up with the pattern, and I made it. We're thinking, since we have this skill, can we set up a processing factory in the production team to make clothes for sale?"

Ever since Xu Qinghuan met Yu Xiaomin, she has always been a very introverted girl. Unexpectedly, she became so lively and outspoken when talking about making clothes.

She liked Yu Xiaomin like this very much and always felt that this should be the real Yu Xiaomin.

"You also want to see a processing factory that specializes in producing clothing?" Jiang Baohua asked in astonishment.

"Yes!" Yu Xiaomin smiled confidently. "Captain, we want to open a small-scale clothing factory first. Xingmei can make clothes, and so can I. Qiao Zhiqing will handle the sales, Xu Zhiqing will handle the design, and I'll take care of the accounts."

It’s not that she doesn’t trust her sisters, but she really wants to open a clothing factory of her own and she thinks she can do it well.

It seemed like the first day Qiao Xinyu had met Yu Xiaomin. She hadn't expected that she could still be so energetic. It gave people hope that the garment factory would flourish with her.

"This..." Jiang Baohua was very hesitant. A few girls wanted to set up a processing factory. It was not that he could not support them, but if they failed, the Shangjiang Brigade would become a laughing stock of the entire commune.

Jiang Xingmei stood up quickly. She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and folded them neatly. "Dad, I'm going to sell these clothes tomorrow morning. If they don't sell, forget it. But if they do, you have to support us in opening a garment factory."

"You little bitch, where are you planning to sell it?" Zhou Guizhi was terrified when she heard this. She was afraid that she would be arrested for speculation, as that would ruin her whole family.

"Mom, don't worry about where I sell it!" Jiang Xingmei was mad at her father. If her fifth brother wanted to open a processing plant today, her father would definitely support it.

Qiao Xinyu also said, "I'll go change my clothes too, and then we can sell them together."

If Yu Xiaomin can make one, she can make two. What she wants to know most now is how much this dress can be sold for?
Yu Xiaomin also planned to go back and make all of Qiao Xinyu's cloth. She firmly believed that these clothes would sell well.

Xu Qinghuan had another idea, "Captain, please consider whether you can apply to the commune to set up a processing plant. This will be more conducive to our work."

Jiang Xingye arrived just after Xu Qinghuan and the other two left. He went to the county town today to pick up an old man and a young boy, and placed them in two very low houses.

An elderly couple from the village used to live here. After they passed away, the house became empty. After a little renovation, it was barely habitable.
