Get up the next morning.

Yang Yuemei has already gone to work.

And Zhou Xiaochuan was woken up by the little guy slapped the door.

After I got up, I touched the warm quilt, but I always didn't want to get up.

Now he is more and more reluctant to sleep in the space, and always feels that there is a lack of popularity there.

Especially when at home.

So I made my clothes yesterday, and I didn't sleep in the space even when I was so sleepy.

Wearing the down jacket made yesterday, I feel very warm.

When he came out, what he saw was a vast expanse of white, except for the wall, almost no other color could be seen.

The little guy is hitting the ice pyramid on the eaves with a bamboo pole.

In the snow on the ground, two or three were already lying down.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan turning his head and seeing the clothes Zhou Xiaochuan was wearing, he felt strange for a while: "Brother, what clothes are you wearing? It's weird. Where did you come from?"

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at the clothes on his body, it was indeed a bit strange at this time.

He made it according to the down style of later generations.

Because there was too much down, it looked like small tofu cubes.

It is similar to the previous cotton coat, a little bloated, but slightly better than the cotton coat.

"I forgot to take it out in my bag. Is it ugly?"

Xiaomi came to look left and right, then shook his head, "It looks good, but it looks a little weird."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled.

It's not surprising that the rise of a thing always takes time to run in.

Then he turned around and went back to the room, and took out the other piece he made last night.

As for Yang Yuemei and others, we'll talk about it after a while.

"Here, try it!"

Seeing a black dress handed over by Zhou Xiaochuan, Xiaomi was surprised for a while.

"Brother, is this for me? This one is much prettier than yours."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, nonsense, his own is short, and the little guy's is long, which can be wrapped around the butt.

That is, the kind of semi-long section of later generations.

It's a bit like a military coat at this time, but it's not that long.

And he only put eight taels of duck down inside. That way it doesn't seem so bulky.

After Xiaomi put it on, she felt the warmth on her body and looked happy, "Brother, this one is warmer than that rabbit skin, and it's so light."

After speaking, she smiled and said, "Where's your mother? Is there any?"

"Nonsense, as long as you can think of it, I can't think of it? By the way, does it smell like duck shit?"

Hearing that, Xiaomi put his head and face into his clothes and sniffed hard, "It's okay! It's a little bit, but it's not very powerful."

After speaking, I was surprised for a while, "Why does this smell like duck shit? Isn't it cotton?"

"No, wasn't that what Grandpa Zhao said when he came yesterday?"

When Xiaomi heard the words, he snorted and didn't understand.

Then he smiled and said, "It's okay, this one is so warm. If it doesn't work, I'll spray some toilet water."

"That's fine. Try wearing it for a while."

The little guy nodded when he heard the words, ran into the snow with a smile, picked up the ice pyramid, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan burst into sweat!

"Hey, can you talk about hygiene? How old are you to do this?"

Xiaomi heard the words and smiled, "What's so unclean, it's all frozen by the rain!"

After speaking, he smiled at him, "Brother, you can make me another slide! There is a lot of snow today."

There was indeed a lot of snow today, and it was close to the knees.

There was only one deep footprint that Yang Yuemei had walked on, extending to the outside of the courtyard.

"Get it yourself! You have nothing to do!"

Xiaomi pouted when he heard the words, "Hmph, I want to know, but I want you to do it!"

"You didn't see what I did that day! Haven't you ever seen a pig run before eating pork? I think you're a lazy person."

"I'll make it! I'll make a snowman."

After she finished speaking, she really picked up the shovel next to her and went for it.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't go up to help, she had nothing to do, just let her play by herself.

No, do it yourself.

He thought for a moment, changed into a pair of rubber shoes, and went out.

"Brother, what are you doing? I'm going too."

Seeing that her brother was leaving, Xiaomi asked quickly.

"I have something to do. What are you doing here in such a deep snow! My shoes are all wet. Just stay at home for me. I'll be back in a while."

After saying that, he raised his legs and left.

"no!"

Hearing this, Xiaomi quickly dropped the shovel in his hand and chased after him.

Fortunately, I was going to play in the snow in the morning, and I had already changed my rubber shoes, otherwise Zhou Xiaochuan would have run away.

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless for a while.

I really just went out for a walk and pretended to get some duck feathers and come back.

Forget it, just follow it!

Zhou Xiaochuan pointed to the open main room and courtyard door behind him.

"Can you lock the door!"

Xiaomi ran back quickly after hearing the words, locked the door and ran back quickly.

When locking the door, he didn't forget to turn his head over, fearing that Zhou Xiaochuan would run away.

After she ran back, he took her arm and smiled, "Hey, let's go! Don't want to leave me alone to play."

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at her angrily.

"Nonsense, in this snowy day, where can I go to play?"

"How did I know!"

"The shoes got wet for a while."

"Go back and put it on the stove to bake!"

"Aren't you cold?"

"not cold"

Two figures, one big and one small, chattering away, stepping on the deep snow and walking towards the distance.

When he arrived at the place, Zhou Xiaomi looked at it and became curious for a while, "Brother, why are you coming to the vegetable market? Are you shopping for vegetables?"

Can you make her weird?

In her memory, her brother had never been to the vegetable market.

Zhou Xiaochuan ignored her and walked in directly.

Although it is snowing heavily now, there are still a lot of people inside, most of them are women and old ladies.

There are not too many families with dual workers in the city, less than half.

There are still many kinds of things sold in it, just because of the lack of green leafy vegetables in winter.

But there are many other things.

Some sell tofu, some sell chicken and duck eggs. There are also places that sell dry goods like black fungus and bamboo shoots.

Zhou Xiaochuan took a look.

Good guy, black fungus is really expensive, 82 per pound.

He really didn't expect this.

Look beyond other places to find places that sell ducks.

There is a big lake next to Fei City, where there are farms and ducks, so unlike other places, only the Spring Festival, May 1, and National Day can be a bit quantitative every year.

Not much, but a little every once in a while.

They all come to grab it early in the morning.

But he didn't come to buy ducks, he just bought some duck feathers.

When he came to the place, he was stunned.

A young boy and an aunt are killing ducks there, and a four- or five-year-old boy is playing there!

There were two women standing in front, waiting.

The problem is that he seems to know the man who killed the duck.

He hesitated for a moment, then called out softly, "Liu Guoping?"

Hearing his words, the other party raised his head, but the action of boiling water and plucking hair in his hand did not stop.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan, he hesitated, "Monitor?"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, "I thought I was mistaken! Why are you here?"

At that time, the other party was not in the best relationship with him.

But they have been together for at least three years in junior high school.

Hearing his words, the other party was surprised,

"Oh, it's really you. I thought I was wrong. I took my mother's job! She went home and took the child!"

"What about your daughter-in-law?"

"My daughter-in-law also has a job."

Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised when he heard the words, "Oh, then you are fine!"

Liu Guoping smiled when he saw this, "It's okay!"

Then he looked at Xiaomi next to him and said with a smile, "Is this your sister?"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded.

"Oh, it's grown so big!"

The two were talking, and someone next to them was dissatisfied.

urging on the side.

"Hey, comrade, can you hurry up! I still have something to do when I go back. There are people from my family."

When the two talk, each other's speed will definitely slow down.

Before Liu Guoping spoke, the woman next to him said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't have time, go back and leave it to someone else."

Hearing what she said, he shut up.

Liu Guoping said to the duck buyer, "It will be ready soon."

Then he smiled at Zhou Xiaochuan: "Wait a minute, it will be all right."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

He and Xiaomi were standing beside him.

Liu Guoping quickly took off the duck feathers in his hand and put it in the other party's basket.

He handed another bowl of duck blood to the other party.

Wait for the other party to leave.

He washed his hands, then smiled at Zhou Xiaochuan: "Why are you here? Are you buying ducks? Today's is gone. If you want, come over tomorrow and I'll keep it for you."

Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head, "No, I actually want to get some duck feathers!"

Liu Guoping was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want that thing?"

At this time, chicken and duck feathers have no other use except for chicken feather dusters or as fertilizers.

"Get some and go back to the kennel!"

Liu Guoping sighed when he heard the words, "It's okay, I'll get you some as much as you want."

At this time, many people bought chickens and ducks at home without killing them, but brought them back, so no one cares about the hair.

Only regular people come to collect.

Less is okay.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan took out a bag and handed it to him.

Liu Guoping grabbed a lot of chicken and duck feathers and handed them to him, "It's a little wet, just go back and dry it."

"Thank you!"

Zhou Xiaochuan took the things and thanked them.

"Hey, why are you being so polite! Tell me in advance if you buy duck next time, and I'll keep it for you!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

The two chatted there for a while, talking about the life of the former junior high school.

Zhou Xiaochuan also shared his own situation.

Liu Guoping sighed, "You said, why didn't you go to university with such good grades back then! Otherwise, among these people, you must be a leader, and the best guess is Li Dazhuang now. !"

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan's heart moved, "Where does he work now?"

Among the best friends in junior high and high school, Chu Yanyan and Li Dazhuang had the best relationship with him.

"Oh, that kid is a supervisor in the Agricultural Bank of China, and now he is the team leader of the association."

Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised when he heard the words, oh, not bad!

The supervisor at this time, the next step is the president of the branch.

After all, college students are all cadres at this time!

A position is a leader.

"Bingbing, don't play with that, stinky! Come and call uncle."

Liu Guoping shouted to the little guy next to him who was picking duck **** with a stick.

The other party stopped playing when he heard that he lost the stick.

He called Zhou Xiaochuan uncle.

Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised and looked at Liu Guoping, "This is your child?"

The other party said with a smile: "Yes, my family, boss, isn't this coming to play! There is a small one at home."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan snorted.

Good guy, how big is the other party! Seems to be younger than me!

22 or 23?

Are the kids so old?

Liu Guoping smiled at him, "How about you! How old is the child?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly, "Not married yet!"

Then he changed the topic, "Is Da Zhuang married?"

"Married, the child seems to be one year old! I heard him say it last year!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

The two chatted for a while, and he left with Xiaomi.

Walking on the road, Xiaomi said cheerfully: "Brother, look at your classmate, he is about the same age as you! The children will be soy sauce, what about my sister-in-law? Look at you, before, sister Yanyan and sister Xiaoxiao were not both. Is it good? Now regret it!"

Zhou Xiaochuan really wanted to give her a blow when he heard this.

But the little guy probably knew that he was going to be beaten and ran away quickly.

The two returned home happily.

When he got home, he threw a pile of duck feathers to the side under the eaves.

Seeing this, the little guy was surprised, "Brother, you got so many duck feathers, and you just put them here?"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

"Yeah, if someone asks, you just say you don't know!"

Xiaomi snorted when he heard the words.

Zhou Xiaochuan thought of Li Dazhuang mentioned by Liu Guoping today, and thought that it would be nice if there were relatives in the family who could work in the bank.

After the reform, he can definitely let the other party take off by getting some investment from the outside.

Every year the tasks are exceeded.

Looking at Xiaomi next to him, he shook his head.

She has her own arrangements.

Forget it, it's still early anyway. When the little guy grows up, let's see what she likes.

It really can't be done. When Xiaohe changes his career, he can find a way to support him.

But in no hurry.

Thinking of this, he calculated the time, and the little guy only went to school for four or five days.

The little guy goes to school, and it's okay to be alone.

The Shanglin production team should come back as soon as possible after they go back, and it's fine to take Zhao Qingqing back later, there is no need to wait until the end of the year.

Going out for a while is like playing, but after a long time, it will be a bit boring.

Still at home!

Thinking of this, he went to cook.

In the afternoon, there was no way to be entangled, so he took the little guy to make a slide outside.

When Yang Yuemei came back in the evening, she saw that Zhou Xiaochuan was wearing a strange dress.

But after so many years, I have gotten used to this kind of thing.

"Is this the down jacket you and your grandpa Zhao talked about?"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, "Yeah! Don't beat it when you wash it."

Yang Yuemei sighed softly when she heard the words.

She didn't say anything about not having her clothes.

It took a few days for Zhou Xiaochuan to give her the clothes.

And explain that if Grandpa Zhao asks, say you don't know anything.

Yang Yuemei nodded when she heard the words.

But I was still confused, I didn't know anything at all!

Seeing her expression, Zhou Xiaochuan patted his forehead.

never mind.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

This afternoon, Zhou Xiaochuan was visiting a department store with Xiaomi to buy things for school.

Because tomorrow the little guy is going to school.

With Xiaohe, a high-paid man as a shield, he has a lot less scruples about buying things.

Finished schoolbags, stationery, bought a lot of things.

Back at home, the little guy was happily there, sorting out things for school tomorrow.

He went to make dumplings.

Black sesame dumplings.

I didn’t put too much sugar. I especially liked to eat when I was short of sugar when I was a child, but now I don’t like it very much.

Too tired.

I cooked more and prepared to send it to Zhao Qinian later.

But it hasn't waited for him to cook yet!

Zhao Qinian came over by car.

As soon as the car was parked, he yelled, "Little bastard, you have something, and you didn't give it to me when I came that day, so we were thinking about it for so many days there."

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless for a while after hearing the words, that's what I have to do!

"Nonsense, I just received this dress, okay?"

"Then you didn't tell me earlier?"

"You never asked!"

Hearing his words, Zhao Qinian blew his beard and stared.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, "Don't be angry anymore. It just so happens that the dumplings will be ready soon, eat a bowl of dumplings."

Zhao Qinian glanced at him angrily when he heard the words, "Take off your clothes first and show me!"

Zhou Xiaochuan shrugged when he heard this.

It is estimated that if Yang Yuemei was not a woman, her down jacket would have contributed.

But he didn't take off his clothes and took out three clothes from the house.

"Hey, one is yours, one is from Grandma Zhao, and the other is for you to study. But you have to return this cloth to me. Don't return my defective cloth. As for the down inside, just take it as I contributed."

All three garments were made of blemish cloth.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he feels this is the right point.

Zhao Qinian picked it up and ignored him, so he didn't believe that Zhou Xiaochuan didn't post it.

All three are very thick down.

Then he took out his own, made a gesture, and took off his padded jacket.

He shivered from the cold air.

Then quickly put on the down jacket.

After Zhao Qinian put it on, he tried it. After a while, his eyes lit up.

"Mother, it's so warm!"

Then he asked Zhou Xiaochuan strangely: "How did you think of doing this! The brains are very useful!"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, "Grandpa Zhao, those chickens and ducks have no clothes, and I haven't seen them freeze to death! Don't I just think that the duck's down can keep warm? And thinking about the cotton so nervous, ducks Hair doesn’t want money! It just so happens that my classmates are killing ducks. I tried to make a few pieces.”

This sentence is not explained to Zhao Qinian, but to others.

Zhao Qinian nodded when he heard the words, "Then how do you get the taste of duck down? I feel that the taste is very weak!"

"Oh, it's in washing powder."

Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words, he fell into deep thought.

This method will definitely not work in mass production.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Xiaochuan knew what he was thinking, and smiled: "Grandpa Zhao, you don't need to worry so much, if you have any problems, find the leader! There must be a way from the Light Industry Bureau. Will you come out next time?"

The chemical industry in this era is considered to have started, but it is not without. There are two fertilizer plants.

Some cheap chemical raw materials are not good after a few tries.

Zhao Qinian's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow. I've got this sewing machine and people. I'm worried about this!"

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless for a while.

Emotional Zhao Qinian is ready!

He even ran here to complain.

"Grandpa Zhao, you're doing this too fast! How to solve the problem with duck feathers? Get so many employees here, what if it doesn't work?"

Hearing the words, Zhao Qinian put it aside, "It's okay, the sewing machine is borrowed from a garment factory. First, we got ten of them and made a few hundred pieces. If there is an order, we can buy it ourselves. As for the employees, they are all by themselves. found in the factory."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

These days, many people are reluctant to buy finished clothes. It is not an exaggeration to say that every household can make clothes.

Just good or bad craftsmanship.

Many of the people in there are still very good at craftsmanship!

"Is it time? And if it's a batch, how will the duck down come from?"

"Almost, it's only February, and there are still more than two months left. It should be no problem to get a few hundred pieces. Originally, we couldn't think of what to bring out, and we planned to postpone it until the autumn, but now we have changed our minds. This thing is worn in winter, and I will wait until the fall to participate. If there is an order, it will be too late before winter. When it is done, everyone will have passed the winter. "

After Zhao Qinian finished speaking, he said cheerfully: "As for the duck down issue you mentioned~lightnovelpub.net~ we don't need to worry about it. If there is an order, as you said, there is a leader. Ah! The Light Industry Bureau is responsible for coordinating with the major farms in the province."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words. Indeed, as long as the shape is determined and the raw materials are sufficient, hundreds of pieces of clothing can be finished in less than half a month.

But he is still worried, what if there is no order? Will you be criticized!

Hearing his words, Zhao Qinian smiled, "It's okay, didn't you say it's okay?"

Zhou Xiaochuan rolled his eyes when he heard this.

But then I don't have to worry anymore.

Participating in the Canton Fair this year, there are many factories that have done nothing, and the whole Huizhou is not a factory participating. It's just two scoldings at most, and there won't be any big problems.

And his down jacket is very confident.

As for the reason, it is naturally cheap.

Incredibly cheap.

According to the material and labor, the cost will not exceed 2 yuan, and it is possible to sell it for 5 or 6 yuan.

Compare with the current exchange rate.

Converted into yuan, it is about 2 yuan.

What is the concept? One day's salary is enough to change one piece a day a month.

And according to his guess, in order to earn foreign exchange, the price offered may be extremely low.

Since there was no problem, he was relieved.

"Okay, I have nothing to do, let's go first."

Seeing Zhao Qinian preparing to leave, he smiled and said, "Wait a minute! I made glutinous rice balls, and I was going to send them to you, but I won't go after you come."

After finishing speaking, he returned to the kitchen and handed the dumplings full of a lunch box to Zhao Qinian.

Zhao Qinian took the lunch box and left on his bike.

In 1966, in Tianjin's local price records, dried fungus, the purchase price was 6 yuan, and the price was 82 yuan.
