Jiang He still doesn't know that there is a saying called carrying private goods.
He Qingdong's current behavior is called bringing in private goods. He wanted Su Xue and others to participate in the construction, so he made up a reason to ask the owner to break ground before starting the construction.
Su Xue, who had never participated in building a house, believed it to be true.
As for brothers Su Xiaolong and Su Xiaohu, they had never personally participated in building a house. Naturally, they believed whatever He Qingdong said.
But no one present, including He Qingdong, knew that the excuse he made up casually today would continue to be used in the decoration industry and became a commonly known groundbreaking ceremony.
After digging the soil with a hoe with good wishes, He Qingdong took the hoe from her hand and called on the people standing nearby to start working.
"We have to work. It's very dusty here. You go home."
He Qingdong lowered his voice and spoke to Su Xue while no one was paying attention.
Su Xue felt that He Qingdong was making a bit of a fuss, but there were several gay men here, and she, a big girl who hadn't even said they were dating, would definitely not be able to stay too long.
Not even with my younger siblings.
"Then I'm going back."
"Um."
He Qingdong hummed softly: "Go back, your man is building a house for you."
Su Xue:……
He wouldn't feel comfortable if this man didn't take advantage of him.
She glared at him with some disgust, snorted and took her brothers and sisters home.
When Su Xiaolong and Su Xiaohu returned home, they went to Bashang School for classes. Su Baoer went to play with her friends as usual, while Su Xue continued her work in front of the sewing machine.
What everyone in the family should do is clearly defined.
Su Xue took out the fabric and placed it on the table next to the sewing machine. She flattened the fabric with bamboo strips, took out the burned charcoal and drew lines along the bamboo strips to make sewing marks.
Her fingers as white as green onions quickly drew the line, then picked up the scissors and cut, flattened and sewed. Every step was very smooth and natural, as if she had done it thousands of times.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Su Xue closed her eyes, she could sew clothes together with her own hands. She was born to make clothes.
When making clothes for people, she did not feel tired or tired, but felt very relaxed and happy. She watched the fabrics turn into clothes of different styles in her hands, and watched the guests become satisfied after wearing them.
Su Xue felt that she had chosen the right industry.
She was humming an unknown tune and stepping on the sewing machine when a snapping sound came from outside the warehouse door.
"Is anyone at home? I'm looking for Su Xue."
A strange female voice interrupted Su Xue's movements. She stopped the sewing machine and inserted the needle. She frowned in confusion, stood up and walked towards the door. When she opened the door, there was an unfamiliar and tanned quilt outside.
Her face and figure are taller than Su Xue's, and she feels like she's looking at people from top to bottom when she looks at them.
This look made Su Xue feel a little uncomfortable.
"Who are you?"
"Are you Su Xue?"
Hu Xiuya opened her mouth first and flicked back her two shiny braids with a snapping sound.
Su Xue nodded doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"You don't have to worry about who I am." Hu Xiuya squeezed forward and looked at Su Xue's home without the owner's invitation.
"You are quite capable if you can live in a warehouse in the village!"
Su Xue:???
Is there something wrong with this person?
She didn't know who this person was or what he was doing, but seeing her attitude and tone of voice, Su Xue didn't like it very much. She blocked Hu Xiuya who was still trying to walk in.
"Comrade, didn't anyone tell you that it's rude to walk into someone else's house without someone else's invitation?"
"Huh?" Hu Xiuya obviously didn't expect that Su Xue would stop her. Because this Su Xue seemed to be a very easy-to-handle person, Hu Xiuya didn't take her to heart.
But when she heard Su Xue's words, Hu Xiuya stopped and looked at Su Xue in surprise.
"Comrade Su Xue, what do you mean by this? You are just a person who has just returned to Hongqi Village. What qualifications do you have to stop me, a person who has been working in Hongqi Village for five years, from coming back to visit your home?"
Jumping in line? At home?
Su Xue connected these two words together and made a bold guess in her mind.
Could this person be the educated youth Sun Xiu Niang said who married to the neighboring village of Goda and was good at making clothes? Before she could finish her thoughts, Hu Xiu Ya had already squeezed past her and walked towards the sewing machine.
"This comrade..."
Su Xue grabbed Hu Xiuya's arm without hesitation and stopped her from moving forward.
"Get out of here right away."
Su Xue didn't like people like Hu Xiuya who had no sense of territoriality. Although this place was said to be a warehouse in the village, it was also her temporary home. Hu Xiuya came over and barged into her house without caring about it, which Su Xue couldn't accept.
Hu Xiuya was stopped by Su Xue. She glanced at the blue cloth on the sewing machine and snorted.
"I just want to see how you make clothes for people. If I don't let you see it, I won't let you see it. So why are you yelling?"
The meaning of Hu Xiuya's words seemed to be that it was Su Xue's fault? Su Xue was puzzled, and she "invited" the person out with a cold face and turned around to close the door.
"Hey, Su Xue, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you closing the door?"
Hu Xiuya stretched out a leg and blocked the door that Su Xue was about to close.
Su Xue narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's wrong with you? Who said that if you want to speak, I have to listen?"
She looks sweet, but that doesn't mean she has a sweet temper.
"Just because you stole my order, you should listen to me." Hu Xiuya finally explained the reason for coming: "You are also from the city. No one in the city told you not to steal the jobs of your colleagues."
?You make clothes, and I also make clothes. I haven’t taken your business, so why should you take my business?”
Hu Xiuya had never wanted to make clothes for Sun Xiu Niang before. That was because she still had a few clothes to make at that time, and she didn't want to deal with a pauper like Sun Xiu Niang.
Recently, the clothes in her hands were finished, and she was being talked about by the dead old woman at home every day when she was idle. She thought of Sun Xiu Niang, who had been rejected by her before.
Hu Xiuya just wanted to come to Hongqi Village, so she came to inform Sun Xiu Niang that she had prepared money to make two clothes for her.
But when she arrived at Sun Xiu's house, Sun Xiu said hesitantly that she would not do it. It took Hu Xiuya some time to find out from other people that there was a man in the village who knew how to make clothes.
They saw Sun Xiu Niang going to the warehouse with the little girl from the Su family taking the fabrics in the morning.
When Hu Xiuya heard this, she felt that her business had been robbed.
That's why the scene where Su Xue came to question her happened.
Su Xue sneered: "Stealing your business? Sister Xiu Niang brought the fabric to me voluntarily. I never forced her, and I don't even bother to steal your business."
