The next day, it was cloudless and beautiful weather again.
The sun was shining brightly early in the morning.
"The sun is so bright every day, it's really annoying!"
Before going out, Zhao Jingmei couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
Her skin has been tanned several degrees.
"Cousin, I will make you a sun protection garment later to protect you from the sun."
Liu Ye had promised Zhao Jingmei a long time ago to make her a sun protection garment, but she never had time to do it.
Just use this morning's time to make one for her.
"Don't do it, it's taking too much time! You'd better make more hairpins and hair ties."
Zhao Jingmei hesitated for a moment, but still refused.
If you delay Liuye making hairpins and hair ties, you will delay making money!
"It won't take much time. Just find me two old clothes."
Liuye waved his hand nonchalantly.
Making money is important, but Zhao Jingmei is even more important.
"Okay then...I'm sorry to bother you."
Zhao Jingmei no longer refuses Liu Ye's kindness.
After saying that, she took down a large package from the wardrobe.
"These are all old clothes that I don't wear anymore. You can choose them yourself. It's time for me to go to work."
The clock on the wall had already pointed to eight, and Zhao Jingmei left home in a hurry.
The rest of the Zhao family also left one after another, leaving only Liu Ye at home again.
She opened the package and found that it was full of girls' clothes.
However, unlike the colorful and popular clothes in shopping malls, most of these clothes are made of pure cotton, which is soft and comfortable.
It's much more comfortable to wear on your body than to wear it.
Liu Ye took a look at the rustic old floral clothes she was wearing, rolled her eyes, and decided to pick a few that she liked and change them.
Last time I went to the mall, I only bought two pairs of shoes. It was time to replace my old clothes.
Just as she said, Liu Ye immediately spread out a large bag of clothes and carefully selected them.
In the end, Liuye chose a blue and white striped T-shirt, a pure white short-sleeved shirt, a ginger long skirt, and a floral dress.
In addition, she also picked a long-sleeved pure white shirt and planned to change it into sun protection clothing for Zhao Jingmei.
After making the selection, Liu Ye immediately pulled out the sewing machine from the corner.
The first thing she made was sun protection clothing.
She first unbuttoned the shirt, then used light blue rags to add a big hat to the collar of the shirt, making the brim of the hat long.
Then she lengthened the front part, and finally, she sewed a long zipper on the sun protection clothing.
After it was done, Liu Ye tried it on herself first. Looking at the wrapped head and half of the face covered in the mirror, Liu Ye was very satisfied.
In this way, the upper half of the face can be perfectly shielded from the sun.
As for the exposed arms, they can also be covered by long sleeves.
Because it uses a zipper and the front flap stands up high, you don’t have to worry about being blown down by the wind when riding a bicycle.
In the era when there was no sunscreen, this kind of physical sun protection should be the most effective.
After finishing the sun protection clothing, Liu Ye began to renovate Zhao Jingmei's old clothes.
There is nothing to change about the T-shirt. She can wear it if it is bigger and can still wear it in a "lazy style".
For a short-sleeved white shirt, Liu Ye directly cut off the two sleeves and turned the edges upward to create a straight shape.
The cuffs have also been changed to be larger, and the originally regular small collar has been changed into a large lapel.
The waist area has been tightened to make the clothes fit more closely.
There is nothing to change about the ginger dress, Liu Ye just shortened the length.
As for the floral dress, Liuye changed the round neck to a French square neck, changed the sleeves to puff sleeves, shrunk the waist, and finally cut two slits on both sides of the skirt.
What was originally an ordinary dress instantly became delicate and elegant, as if by magic.
After the clothes were changed, Liuye tried them on immediately.
What woman doesn’t love beauty?
Willow leaves also love beauty.
It's just that the aesthetics of this era are incompatible with her.
Most of the popular clothing and bags are irritating to Liuye's eyes.
Now, wearing the clothes she had modified, Liu Ye felt much more comfortable.
The sleeveless white shirt is paired with a long ginger skirt, revealing the willow-white slender arms and slender calves.
The whole person is exquisite and elegant.
The floral dress looks playful and gentle when worn on the body, and the puff sleeves are a bit cute, just right for Liu Ye's age.
"So lovely!"
Liu Ye looked at herself in the full-length mirror and turned around with satisfaction.
The girl in the mirror has a slender figure, almost like a walking clothes rack.
In the past few days, under Zhao Dagang's feeding, his originally pale face gradually turned red.
Putting on the modified clothes, Liuye looked like a lovely jasmine flower, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Sure enough, Buddha relies on his golden clothing, and people rely on their clothing!
Liu Ye took the photos again and again, sighing at one moment for her exquisite craftsmanship, and for another moment marveling at her good figure.
I am simply satisfied no matter how I look at it.
Unexpectedly, the girl who was embarrassed on the train turned into a little beauty just a few days after arriving in Shanghai.
It’s the soil and water of Shencheng that support people!
Liu Ye looked in the mirror for a full ten minutes before she was so beautiful that she changed her clothes.
Old clothes that haven’t been worn for a long time may have many mites in them.
Liuye washed all the changed clothes and took them downstairs to dry.
When she walked downstairs, she met the aunt who had given her popsicles again.
"Xiao Liu, you are drying your clothes!"
Auntie greeted Liu Ye familiarly.
"Aunt Qian, what are you doing?"
Liu Ye passed by Tongzi Tower every day and became familiar with Qian Meifeng.
We can chat for a few words when we meet.
Qian Meifeng's husband also works at the Fifth Textile Factory.
It's just that they are not formal workers, but boiler-burners in the bathhouse.
The work is hard and the pay is low.
Qian Meifeng has a rural household registration and has no job. She does various odd jobs on weekdays to support her family.
It's a hot day now, so she pushes her bicycle to sell popsicles at the factory gate every day after get off work.
The popsicles I gave to Liuye last time were the leftovers from her sales.
Today, she took another odd job at the wicker factory and made some simple baskets for the wicker factory, earning a dime each.
"Aunt Qian, what are you doing?"
After Liu Ye dried her clothes, she curiously watched Qian Meifeng weave wicker.
"I took a job in a willow weaving factory, making a small basket and earning ten cents."
Qian Meifeng's hands were very fast, weaving the wicker up and down into shape.
"How long does it take you to make a small basket?"
"Almost half an hour!"
After hearing this answer, Liuye fell silent.
It's too hard to work hard for half an hour and only earn a dime.
Liu Ye squatted next to Qian Meifeng, picked up the small basket she had knitted and placed it on the ground and looked at it carefully, and found that it was very delicately made.
Suddenly, Liuye had a flash of inspiration, and a perfect idea appeared in her mind.
"Aunt Qian, if I ask you to use wicker to weave other styles according to my instructions, can you make it?"
