Back to 1993

Gu Zhengdong's childhood was too unfortunate, and he had to spend his whole life to heal it. Although he lived to be dozens of years old in his last life and his heart was like steel, the wound was still there.

What he can't bear is that his father calls him Dongzi.

Those two words instantly brought him back to his childhood when he was extremely lacking in love.

How much he longed for his father to take a look at him and call him Dongzi.

"Let's go, let Gu Zhengxi go to the factory to find me tomorrow, and see if there is a job for him. But the ugly thing is up front, if he refuses to suffer, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as the stepmother heard that she had achieved her goal, she dragged Gu's father outside.

Gu Zhengdong pulled a horse tie and sat in the yard without moving for a long time.

Aunt Xian knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so she walked over and handed him a cup.

"Honey water, I've prepared it a long time ago, I'm afraid you may drink too much."

"Mom." Gu Zhengdong called out, tears welling up, endless grievances.

"Okay, child, it's okay. There are always some ignorant people in this world who don't care about other people's feelings. If you are sensible, you will be wronged. It's all over." Aunt Xian comforted.

Those children could see that their father was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to speak, so they all obediently went back to their bunks and lay down.

"Have you been drinking for a few hours today, what are you talking about?" Grandma Bai cooperated with Aunt Xian to divert Gu Zhengdong's attention.

"Talk about the embroidery factory." Gu Zhengdong was embarrassed not to answer Grandma Bai's words.

"You want to get that factory back?"

"I have to change the project when I get it back. Those products are too backward and no one wants them." Gu Zhengdong smiled wryly.

"Then what are you going to do? Those female workers may not be able to do anything else." Aunt Xian asked worriedly.

"I saw something called cross-stitch in the south, but it hasn't spread to the northeast yet, so I want to try it."

"Cross-stitch? I know. When I was young, I studied in France and did some embroidery with the landlord." Aunt Xian said.

"Oh! Mom, you are an expert! Tell me quickly. I asked the people in the embroidery factory, but they didn't understand. It turned out to be popular abroad."

"You are wrong, what is popular abroad, it was popular in China and then returned!" Aunt Xian laughed.

"is it?"

"It's called Huangmei Blossom Picking, which existed in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Later, in the Ming Dynasty, missionaries brought it to Europe and became popular among the British and French nobles. It's so simple, you can learn it quickly." Aunt Xian said disdainfully.

"It's a good thing once you learn it. Today's big girls and daughters-in-law are not the same as they used to be. They are so stupid." Grandma Bai told the truth. This is the reason why cross-stitch is popular. In the era of fast food, When fast food was introduced.

It's not his business, he just cares about making money.

"Does this thing require money for embroidery?"

"That's not true, as long as the color gradation of the embroidery thread is enough."

"What is a color scale?"

"It's all kinds of colors, arranged according to the color spectrum, from light to dark, the more detailed the division, the more vivid and beautiful the embroidery will be."

"What about the fabric?"

"Linen is used everywhere in Europe."

"We also have a flax factory locally, so the flax should be fine." Gu Zhengdong said to himself.

"What are you talking about? What linen?" Ge Ping walked out while knitting woolen pants.The lights were out in her cabin, and the children were supposed to be asleep.

"You're so quick, you hit so much in one night." Aunt Xian picked up the leg of her wool trousers and boasted.

"Our weather says that Qiu'er is fast, and I don't have to worry about knitting them all. Auntie, if you want to knit woolen trousers, just give me the thread, one every three days." Ge Ping could see that the two elders The wives are good people and are very close to them.

"By the way, you work in a textile factory. You must know a lot about fabrics. How about the products produced by the flax factory in our city?"

"Not very good." Ge Ping said with a curl of her lips, "their production technology is not good. The material of linen is difficult to serve, it is easy to wrinkle, it also shrinks, and the color is not good. It is either yellow or green, not a serious white. "

Ge Ping is really a connoisseur, Gu Zhengdong remembered that the later linen products were all blended, and the current craftsmanship may not be up to the mark.

It seems that the cloth for cross-stitching is a problem. If the cloth is brought in from the outside, the cost will be too high, and this thing cannot be popularized.

Gu Zhengdong fell into deep thought, while the three women started talking about cross-stitching. Grandma Bai and Ge Ping were both curious and asked Aunt Xian to tell them.

Aunt Xian took a piece of straw paper from the child, drew on it, and explained it to them.

"I see, it's just that there should be a grid on the fabric, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

"We weave cloth with warp and weft. The finer the warp and weft, the denser the fabric. Like this one, the thicker the warp and weft, the thinner the fabric. Is that what it means? I can't tell."

"You're right!" Aunt Xian encouraged Ge Ping.

"That's all it takes to weave cloth with thick thread. Doesn't it matter if it's linen, isn't it the same for chemical fiber?"

"clever!"

Gu Zhengdong was so excited that he almost knocked Maza over.

Ge Ping's idea is valuable.Once the fabric problem is solved, there is no problem, and he can find a place to try processing.

"I have acquaintances in the factory and friends in the technical room, why don't I ask you?" Ge Ping offered to ask.

"Okay! I'll leave it to you. You don't have to go to the factory tomorrow, just go and inquire about these things. I'll talk to Fat Sister."

Gu Zhengdong was too impatient to sit still.

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep." Aunt Xian looked at her watch and reminded.

Ge Ping went back to the house with woolen trousers, and Grandma Bai also went in to soak her feet.

Gu Zhengdong washed his face, tied his hair in and soaked it.When she looked up, Aunt Xian had already handed over the towel.

Gu Zhengdong suddenly remembered being threatened, he hesitated, and told Aunt Xian.

Let them be mentally prepared. They are in the dark. Although they don't hurt their wives and children, what if the person they find is not moral?

"Got it, I'll tell Sister Bai tomorrow, be careful, I'll go with her to pick up the child."

"That's not necessary. Driver Zhou said today that he will pick up the children in the future."

"Why did he suddenly..." Aunt Xian figured it out halfway through speaking. It must be when Du Junsheng went to the movies today. .

"That's fine, you're all at ease."

"I'll gather them in the yard when I get home. Isn't this bunch of children enough for them to play with?" Aunt Xian pursed her lips into a smile, and smacked her mouth at Yuan Xinfang.

The two girls in that room have become one with these children.

Gu Zhengdong is very envious of them, the little friends who grew up together are really rare happiness, think about how lonely he was when he was bullied all the time in his childhood.

The two mothers sat in the yard and talked for a long time before Aunt Xian urged Gu Zhengdong to go into the house to sleep.

"Mom, it's great to have you here." Gu Zhengdong thanked God for giving him a chance to be reborn, and he was even more grateful for God for giving him so many relatives.

What was lacking in the previous life, this life has made up for him.

Gu Zhengdong rarely had a good night's sleep, probably because of the effect of alcohol.

When he got up in the morning, the children were all picked up by the car. His throat was a little sore, and he deliberately brushed it for a while when he washed it, so as not to feel like a hangover.

"You snore really well!" Grandma Bai said with a smile.

"Really?" Gu Zhengdong blushed.

"I don't usually snore, maybe I drank too much yesterday."

"You didn't sleep well, did you?"

"It's okay, worse than my old man."

Gu Zhengdong smiled embarrassedly.At this time, the bb machine rang, he took a look, and rushed out immediately.
