Chapter 131: Really Good-Looking
Tang Hua confidently assured, and Tang Wei also fell into contemplation.
After a moment, he said, “Me too, I will work hard to improve myself, and then compete for the position of factory director.”
Seeing the two of them like this, Song Chu was still satisfied, “Good, that’s the spirit of daring to dream and strive. During this time, I will often take you out and about, and teach you some things. How much you can learn depends on yourselves.”
She didn’t tell the two that she would also choose a vice director, temporarily leaving them with no way out, which could also stimulate some potential.
“Okay, we will definitely work hard.” For the first time, ambition and an unprecedented drive were ignited in the eyes of the two.
In the next few days, the ducks raised by the farm workers were ready to be sold.
Song Chu asked Song Lao Si to talk to the big factories in the city, asking if they wanted ducks, which would be slaughtered and delivered on the same day.
The reason for this hassle was mainly to collect duck down.
Now the farm had good relations with several factories in the county, especially the Steel Factory, which was very supportive.
Song Lao Si was inherently clever, and recently he had learned a lot about the art of speaking from Song Chu, so this matter was quickly settled.
Several large factories ordered a batch of ducks from the farm.
Song Chu had the workers collect all the duck down, wash it, dry it, and store it in the warehouse.
Then she went to the Textile Factory and, through the relationship with the Logistics Director Li, purchased several bolts of relatively waterproof and more suitable fabric for filling.
Taking the fabric back, Song Chu went to the warehouse to get the processed duck down.
“Mom, can you help me make a piece of clothing?” Song Chu went directly to her mother with the materials.
Tang Feng smiled and said, “Sure, we still have a lot of fabric at home. I’ll make it for you first. What style do you want?”
As for the others in the family, they could just wait. Her Yaobao was the most important.
Song Chu sat down beside her mother and placed the fabric and duck down on the table.
“Mom, I’m not asking you to make clothes for me, but to make a kind of down jacket. It will be much warmer than cotton-padded coats in winter. After it’s made, I’ll take it to the clothing factory to discuss business.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Feng immediately straightened up, “Down jacket? I’ve never made this kind of clothing before. How do I make it?”
Song Chu explained the steps of making a down jacket to her, and took out the drawing she had made based on the design book, “The key is the filling and stitching. Just follow this pattern.”
Recently, because Song Chu had given Tang Feng a hand-drawn fashion design book, she had also learned a lot about design. So, after looking at it carefully, she could understand the drawing.
“Okay, I’ll try according to this. I absolutely won’t embarrass you.” Tang Feng decided to make this down jacket well and not let her daughter down.
Song Chu held her arm and said, “Mom, don’t feel pressured. It’s okay whether you can make it or not.”
She believed in her mother’s ability, but she was afraid that her mother would be nervous and pressured because it was for business at the clothing factory.
Tang Feng did feel a little pressure at first, but after hearing these words, she instantly relaxed, “It’s fine, I can definitely make it. If even I can’t make it in the village, no one else can.”
She was still quite confident in herself.
“Yes, Mom, you are the best.” Song Chu leaned on her and said with a smile.
It had to be said that Tang Feng was really talented in design and making clothes. It only took her three days to make the down jacket Song Chu wanted.
This time she made a women’s style, a medium-length one, and she made it a little looser according to Song Chu’s size.
According to Song Chu’s design drawing, she sewed a hood and stitched some lines all over the body, making the down jacket look less bulky.
Song Chu felt very familiar with the down jacket that looked similar to those from her previous life. She picked it up and tried it on. It fit perfectly and was quite comfortable.
There was also a belt at the back, which cinched the waist.
The light blue medium-length down jacket made Song Chu look taller and her skin fairer.
◈◈◈
“Mom, you are amazing. You made the down jacket so beautiful on your first try.” Song Chu looked in the mirror and couldn’t help but praise.
This style would not be outdated even in modern times, and it was much more aesthetically pleasing than bulky and dowdy cotton-padded coats.
Tang Feng was satisfied with her craftsmanship, “Of course, I’m talented at making clothes. Otherwise, your great-grandmother wouldn’t have passed it down to me.”
“But my Yaobao is the most beautiful. You look good in anything.” The more she looked at her daughter, the more beautiful she thought she was. This appearance and figure were probably unmatched even in the county town.
Her eyes were full of pride. She was indeed her daughter.
Song Chu wore the down jacket to the living room to show it to the rest of the family.
Song Lao Er was the first to praise, “Chu Chu looks so good in this. People who don’t know would think you’re from the city.”
Song Lao Si also came over and said with a smile, “Yes, Sister, you look more like a city person than those young ladies from the provincial capital.”
Song Lao Da also smiled, “Little Sister looks really good in this.”
Song’s Second Sister-in-law nodded, “Little Sister looks really beautiful in this.”
Song Chu said with a full smile, “It’s all because Mom made the down jacket well.”
It was very hot now, so after showing it to them, she took off the down jacket.
“Mom, can you help make a men’s style? I’ll give you the pattern.” Song Chu thought that the leaders of the clothing factory were mostly men, so it would be better to make one for them to try on.
Tang Feng nodded with a smile, “No problem, what size should I make it?”
Song Lao Er was the most cunning, and immediately said, “Mom, you can make it according to my size.”
If the women’s style looked so good, the men’s style must also be good-looking.
Song Lao Si was not stupid either, “Mom, I’m in better shape than Second Brother, why don’t you make it according to mine?”
If he wore a down jacket out, the young men in the village would definitely be envious and jealous.
Song Lao Er glared at him, “Bullshit, how are you in better shape than me?”
Song Lao Si raised his hand and flexed his arm, “I have muscles, do you?”
He had liked fighting since he was a child, and recently he often went to the county town. He did look stronger than Song Lao Er.
Song Lao Er was speechless, “So what if you have muscles? You’re not as handsome as me.”
Song Lao Si said disdainfully, “Bull, I’m much more handsome than you.”
Then he leaned in front of Song Chu and pointed at her, “Look at how good-looking Little Sister is. I’m her twin, and we look alike. I’m definitely more handsome than you. If you don’t believe me, you can go out and ask around the village.”
“…” Song Lao Er’s face darkened. Now that the villagers liked his sister so much, going out to ask would be asking for trouble.
He rolled his eyes, straightened his chest, and said, “I have a wife, do you? You’re still single and you dare to compete with me?”
Song’s Second Sister-in-law was speechless from afar. At this time, this guy remembered that he had a wife.
Song Lao Si’s face also darkened, “It’s not that I don’t want to get married, otherwise, many girls would want to marry into my family.”
“You’re just bragging. How can you say such shameless words?” Song Lao Er rolled his eyes.
Song Chu was speechless with the two of them, “You two, that’s enough. Let’s make it according to Big Brother’s size.”
