Aunt Jiang is a person from the old era and has experienced natural economy. When Yao Yuan said that, she naturally thought that making clothes for others is also a means of making a living.

However, now we strictly control private business operations, which is not only illegal, but will also be looked down upon by others.

Yao Yuan said, "Aunt Jiang, you're thinking too much. Tailoring is a craft, and others begging us to make clothes for them. If we rely on our own craftsmanship, who will look down on us?"

Aunt Jiang still hesitated and asked: "Then, what if the public knows, what should we do if they arrest us?"

Yao Yuan said: "We don't do it publicly, we just do it secretly for the employees of our factory at home. You said I'm doing business, and I also said I'm helping others. What's the law that neighbors do to help each other?"

In Yao Yuan's memory, where he lived when he was a child, there was such a tailor who secretly made clothes for others. After working for many years, no one cared about him.

At this time, Jiang Kangkang suddenly spoke: "I have a classmate who didn't go to the line after graduation. He just made clothes for others in the city. He bought them three or two pieces of clothes for one piece of clothes." Then he said, "But, I can't make clothes?"

Yao Yuan looked at her and asked, "Do you want to do this?"

Jiang Kangkang said: "It's better than doing nothing at home and being idle like this, right?"

Yao Yuan nodded and said, "As long as you want to do it, this is not difficult. Aunt Jiang can use a sewing machine. You are smart and learn it quickly. I can draw cropped pictures, and as long as you are willing to learn it, you can learn it. If you do it well, you may make more money than going to work."

Aunt Jiang said with concern: "If you do this, you have to let others know so that they can come, right? We don't dare to go out and say anything. Who knows where will we have business when we make clothes?"

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang, Kangkang and Meimei are two standard voluntary propagandists. As long as they go out in beautiful clothes, just like during the Chinese New Year, people will come to the door automatically. Then they will spread it to you one by one. At that time, I'm afraid you will be worried about knowing too much and the public will come to cause trouble!"

Jiang Kangkang made up his mind and said, "I do it! I work and make money secretly, even if it is near our commune, no one is involved. Why do I have to take care of someone?"

Yao Yuan said: "Someone cares, there will always be a way. If you learn cutting, you have to know mathematics. This involves molecular formula calculations. Moreover, if you have knowledge, you will soon understand the cropping diagram. At that time, you can design your own clothes according to your own wishes."

Aunt Jiang said, "You should first keep your body bones. This little body is thin and can't walk steadily."

Jiang Kangkang said in a poem: "This is all because I left my dear mother's arms, and I was tired! Now, I finally know that only mothers are better in the world!"

From then on, Jiang Kangkang stayed at home, while recuperating, while studying textbooks he sent to school. He couldn't understand and didn't know. Jiang Meimei was studying at night, and when Yao Yuan taught Jiang Meimei, he taught her by the way.

At that time, the high school knowledge was slightly more than what I learned in junior high school today. This was not difficult for Yao Yuan, who was in college. Although Jiang Kangkang graduated from high school, he didn’t know anything from junior high school, and even had a lot of knowledge in elementary school except addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. But her brain was not stupid in learning. As long as she was willing to learn, she would learn it quickly. There were many problems that she could read without Yao Yuan teaching.

When Yao Yuan was outside, he still pretended to be a fool, still talked and stuttered.

In this era of politics as the main agenda, a fool can get many discounts and privileges that ordinary people cannot obtain, so he is willing to continue pretending to be a fool. He doesn't have to go to the cleaning team to report every day. No one will pay attention to what he says or does, and no one will make the excuse online.

If Jiang Kangkang wants to make clothes for others, he must have a separate room. Otherwise, if he works late, it will affect Aunt Jiang and Jiang Meimei's rest. Yao Yuan planned to give Jiang Kangkang the east house that Zhang Jianjun dared not live. Anyway, the house was haunted by him, and no one dared to move in, and it was always empty.

The sewing machine can be placed inside and outside the east room, and the outer room is separated from Zhang Shuncai's house. In this way, if Jiang Kangkang stepped on the sewing machine late, it would be difficult for Zhang Shuncai's house to hear it.

It is better to be careful about people like Zhang Shuncai who are not upright. Who knows that he would come up with any bad ideas if Jiang Kangkang secretly made clothes for others? In this era, it is illegal to do business privately.

In addition, some cotton cloth must be tied to the four legs of the sewing machine to prevent shock. In this way, when Jiang Kangkang stepped on the sewing machine, the noise will be much less and it will be less likely to be discovered.

These are just the simplest preparations. You have to prepare a few sets of clothes as samples for people who come to see the clothes to choose from. These are all things that are available in modern tailor shops, and Yao Yuan has seen them.

When Jiang Kang was recovering from illness, Yao Yuan prepared the clothes according to the styles in the cut book that Yao Daxia left behind.

In that era, cut books like this were also destroyed. The new cut books sold in Xinhua Bookstore were all blue-gray Zhongshan suits, and the styles of men and women were almost the same. There were no skirts, no suits, and no underwear, and things belonging to the corrupt life of the bourgeoisie.

Yao Yuan was very surprised and even suspected that the 1950s cut book was like him, including chicken leg pants, jeans and bell-bottom pants.

In fact, many popular fashion styles in the 1950s have not yet fallen behind. The popular fashions in the 1980s and 1990s are basically copied from the 1950s, and Yao Yuan didn't know.

Yao Yuan went to buy the fabric for the sample, but Aunt Jiang could not let Aunt Jiang know. After she knew about it, Aunt Jiang would feel sad.

He had the money earned by a porter, but the cloth tickets were not enough. He asked Liu Ergan, who was digging the toilet, to exchange money for him from the countryside for some cloth tickets. After he gradually bought all the fabric he needed, he spent all the money in his hand.

By this time, Yao Yuan had adapted to this era. Moreover, in his sense, the people of this era were simple and did not have so many complicated ideas. Especially Aunt Jiang's family, he had already treated them as his family and spent money on them, and he did not feel sorry for him at all. Although life was hard, he lived much more energetic than in modern times.

By the autumn of this year, Jiang Kangkang had recovered almost, and two original flushings appeared on her little face. She returned to the city because of tuberculosis, so of course she did not dare to go out to find others to play, for fear that anyone would be jealous of her and would reveal her health that she was not sick. In that era, deceiving the organization was a serious crime.

She had nothing to do at home, so she could only learn how to use the sewing machine with her mother.

Aunt Jiang found some rag heads and taught her how to run straight lines and turn corners every night. Soon, she learned everything and began to use it freely.

After October 1st, Yao Yuan discussed with Aunt Jiang to free up his east house and let Kang Kang be a tailor shop.

Aunt Jiang’s family is too young. Making clothes for others will inevitably make the house full of fabrics and clothes. Aunt Jiang is enthusiastic and often comes to visit her, which is not good for people to discover.

Aunt Jiang and Yao Yuan took advantage of the darkness to get the sewing machine into the east room, like a thief. Yao Yuan was very strong and carried a sewing machine by himself. Aunt Jiang just followed behind.

Seeing Yao Yuan put the sewing machine in the outer room, Aunt Jiang asked him quietly: "Why are you wrapping the sewing machine with four legs?"

Yao Yuan didn't speak, but pointed his finger to the east.

Aunt Jiang understood that she was afraid that there would be a sound when working in a sewing machine, so that Zhang Shuncai's house in the east could hear it.

Then, Aunt Jiang discovered that Yao Yuan had also built the windows on the north wall from the outside with bricks, leaving only the uppermost air window.

Behind the window is the aisle of the back house. Yao Yuan did this just to prevent the outside from hearing it. The north window was built, and even if the lights were on in the house at night, it would be difficult for the residents in the back row to discover it.

Aunt Jiang sighed and said, "You are so stupid, you are so meticulous, no matter how I think about it, I can't connect with your previous appearance."

Yao Yuan said, "Aunt Jiang, I used to have parents, and my father is a high-ranking official, so I don't have to worry about it myself. I don't want to go to school or work. What do you think I should do?"

Aunt Jiang opened her eyes wide in surprise and said, "You used to be stupid?"

Yao Yuan just yelled, without explaining.

Anyway, you can think whatever you like, just stop doubting me.

Aunt Jiang was still behind.

Although Jiang Kangkang could step on a sewing machine, he had never really made clothes. He couldn't let her make clothes for others with just one hand. What if it was broken? Aunt Jiang planned to buy some cheap fabrics to train Kangkang.

But even if the fabric is cheap, you still have to use cloth tickets. The cloth tickets are only so many in a quarter, and after saving a year, it will be enough for the family to make clothes. Yao Yuan is a big man and uses a lot of cloth tickets. He is all for the fight against the enemy. What can he use to cut off cloth and make clothes for the children?

Aunt Jiang was worried, so Yao Yuan quietly took out seven or eight pieces of cloth from the west room where he lived, all of which were bought in the style required in the cut book, and was waiting for Kang Kang to practice.

These are expensive materials and good fabrics!

Aunt Jiang asked Yao Yuan: "Where do these come from?"

Yao Yuan said: "If you want to practice clothes when you are in a hurry, right? As long as she can cut the book and make these clothes, it will be almost done. At that time, she will not be broken. Moreover, these clothes are the best in the cut book. She can make them look like it. She can also wear them with Meimei. If others see them and think they look good, they will come to her to make clothes?"

Aunt Jiang said: "I didn't ask this. I asked how these cloths were made? You have money as a porter, and Aunt Jiang knows. But where did you get the cloth ticket?"

Yao Yuan said: "I have money, so I can buy cloth tickets from others."

Aunt Jiang didn't ask anything.

On Sunday, Yao Yuan went to the train station to work as a porter again. Aunt Jiang took Jiang Kangkang to the east room and asked Jiang Kangkang to see the fabric placed on the kang in the inner room.

After all, Jiang Kangkang was young and only knew to do it by himself and not eat idle food. He needed to do it in detail, but he didn't know how to do it. She didn't pay attention to what Yao Yuan and her mother were busy with Yao Yuan.

Aunt Jiang told her everything that Yao Yuan planned for her.
