After dinner, wait until it gets completely dark.
Gu Zhanyan splashed water on the cement floor outside the house and it immediately cooled down.
Then carry out the big bamboo bed, place it on the ground, and light a plate of mosquito coils underneath.
The night breeze was cool and pleasant, so I lay on the bamboo bed and watched the stars.
Fireflies flew out of the farmland ditch nearby and lingered in the night sky, shining like stars.
The noise in the row behind was extremely loud, and it was heard here. It sounded like Li Changming was giving smoke to the neighbors.
"Come and try the cigarettes that Manzi bought for me."
Leader A: "Oh, it's a big front door. It smokes so well. It costs 3.5 cents a pack, which is enough for a family meal. Comrade Changming is lucky."
Li Guangming: "I told him not to waste money, but he insisted on buying it and said he wanted me to try good cigarettes."
Neighbor B: "This cigarette looks high-end, and the smell when smoked is nothing to say."
Neighbor C: “I don’t know when that bastard of mine will be able to buy me a pack of cigarettes.”
Gu Zhanyan couldn't help but curl up his lips when he heard this: Li Changming didn't say anything, but he was actually very happy.
Diandian listened to Gu Zhanyan's story and fell asleep after a while.
When he was carrying Diandian in, Gu Zhanyan noticed that Li Wenjun was painting and took a curious look.
Li Wenjun's painting shows a woman wearing a skirt. The woman's eyebrows are briefly painted, but her skirt is drawn very carefully.
The pointed square collar is buttoned from the collar to the waist. The waist is gathered at the top, and then there is a big swing at the bottom.
Gu Zhanyan let out a surprised sound, picked it up and took a closer look: "This will definitely look good. Your painting style is very rare. It's a bit like the simple drawings in magazines, but more professional, and a bit like design drawings, but More artistic.”
She said it tactfully.
In fact, you can tell that the shape is a bit wrong.
Li Wenjun smiled: "This is a clothing design draft. Didn't you buy a piece of yellow Doliang during the day? I was afraid that the tailor would mess with it and it would be a pity to lose this piece of cloth. So I thought of a style for you."
He said he thought of it, but actually he borrowed it later.
Gu Zhanyan was right, the color of this cloth was too bright, and it needed a more formal style to hold it down.
Gu Zhanyan changed a few strokes, and the painting style immediately became much fresher and smoother, and the proportions were also improved.
This time, it really looked like that.
Li Wenjun: "When a master takes action, it's really different."
Gu Zhanyan said happily. "I'll take it to the tailor tomorrow."
Li Wenjun smiled: "As long as you like it."
Li Wenjun drew another picture of a suspender skirt and a princess skirt.
"Take these two pieces to the tailor to make them for you to wear."
Gu Zhanyan exclaimed again: "So cute."
"That's right." Li Wenjun was a little proud.
Of course his baby must be dressed like a princess. Even though the types of fabrics in this era are limited, he has various styles. Change it!
Later, he searched for a lot of pictures of various Disney princess dresses on the Internet, and he unconsciously remembered a lot of them.
Li Wenjun and Zhang Aihua took a leave to deliver the finished walkie-talkies to Zhou Liguo.
Zhou Liguo was more polite this time and poured water for Li Wenjun.
We are all smart people. Although he was frustrated, there is no need to be angry now that the matter has been settled.
Li Wenjun thought: This guy is very good at calculating but he is still a rational person.
He exchanged a few words and left in a hurry.
In the post office, Qin Junsheng was distributing newspapers. When he saw Li Wenjun coming, he put down what he was holding: "Here, sign and get the remittance."
At this time, there was no ID card, so it was entirely up to the postman to give the money from the money order to the payee.
Li Wenjun signed the signature, took the money but refused to leave. He asked: "During the Chinese New Year, didn't they issue a zodiac stamp? Do you still have it?"
Qin Junsheng was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Oh, there are monkey tickets. I can't sell them."
Li Wenjun suppressed his ecstasy: "I'll help you get rid of some. Give me a version 10."
On February 15, 1980, the first zodiac stamp "Monkey Stamp" was issued, and more than 4.4 million were eventually released. People at that time did not have the habit of collecting stamps, so few people bought this stamp. By 2022, the price of this stamp had increased to 15,000 for a single stamp, and the entire page had increased to an astonishing 1,000,000 yuan.
Even if calculated at an inflation rate of 1,000 times, this investment will be profitable.
Easy to carry and maintain value. In the future, if the capital turnover is poor, you can use it to pay back the money and tide over the difficulties.
When things are going smoothly, you should prepare for the downturn. This is the experience he gained after many years of business and countless losses.
Qin Junsheng's eyes widened: "You think it's papyrus. There are 80 sheets in one edition, and you want 10 editions at once. It costs sixty-four yuan."
Li Wenjun slammed the wad of money in his hand: "Don't worry, I have money, and I like the color. It's red and festive."
Qin Junsheng nodded: "Okay, okay, whatever you want. But I only have 5 editions here, 32 yuan. Do you really want them all?"
Li Wenjun: "That's okay, give it all to me."
Qin Junsheng even found a document bag to pack for Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun waved the things in his hand to him as a farewell and left.
When Li Wenjun went back at noon, Gu Zhanyan had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him with a smile on his face.
Li Wenjun was stunned at the door.
I had always dreamed of being treated like this before, but now I suddenly got it, but it felt as unreal as a dream.
Not to brag, Gu Zhanyan's smile is really beautiful. If it were released in 2022, it would definitely have hundreds of millions of otakus licking their screens.
"Come and eat." Gu Zhanyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Stop standing around."
Li Wenjun responded and sat down.
Gu Zhanyan said: "I just took the piece of fabric and the design to the tailor. Tailor Ji said that this skirt will look good when it is made. Put down all the work at hand and make my dress first."
Li Wenjun suddenly realized: People who love something have one thing in common. When they encounter good works, they will be more excited than anyone else.
Gu Zhanyan's eyes were bright: "She asked me to pick it up after get off work today. Then I can wear it tomorrow."
Li Wenjun nodded and smiled.
Gu Zhanyan suddenly bit his lip and became silent.
Li Wenjun asked: "What's wrong?"
Gu Zhanyan murmured: "I'm sorry, why am I so excited like a child, but it's actually just a skirt."
Li Wenjun looked seriously into her eyes: "We are the closest people. You can feel free to express any emotion in front of me. If you have to hold it back even at home, then life will be too depressing."
In fact, he felt that Gu Zhanyan had suppressed himself too much before.
And while he is being indulgent on the surface, he is actually suppressing himself, fearing that he will be wronged and cowardly to be seen by others.
Gu Zhanyan hummed, lowered his head and ate quietly.
In the past, she felt that Li Wenjun was a person who was not even worthy of her acquaintance, but now she felt that he was like a close friend.
Is it because he bought her painting supplies?
There is never a shortage of suitors around her. There were many more luxurious things given to her, but none of them moved her so much as this time.
She said nothing more.
Li Wenjun didn't know what to think and remained silent.
In fact, neither of them are talkative people. It's just that Li Wenjun seems to be trying to coax her to talk recently, and he often seems to have nothing to say.
Even though it was quiet at the moment, it was completely different from the silence when he didn't say anything before. There was no longer any feeling of embarrassment or suffocation.
After Gu Zhanyan got off work, she went to get the skirt and couldn't wait to put it on when she came back.
Li Wenjun came back after taking the order. When he saw Gu Zhanyan coming out of the room, he was stunned for a long time without making a sound.
