The manufacturing of accessories had already begun, and Kiki decided not to actively engage in this endeavor. However, he is always ready to give fresh ideas if needed. Ling Jin who had the initiative to join the two sisters, chose to run this business inside his room.
To help with the production process, Kiki moved the sewing machine to Ling Jin's room. The reason why this work is done in the room is because currently, any form of self-employment is prohibited, this includes serious criminal acts .
Therefore, they said that this product came from Qingyuan village, which already had a side business license approved by the authorities.
Even though the side business is only limited to beauty soap.
Meanwhile, Xu Jiming would come if an income and procurement cooperative was in his place of work, sending him to collect production materials at any time.
Because of that, the finished products need to be neatly packed, so that when Brother Kiki's cousin comes, the goods are ready.
Kiki, although not directly involved in production, provides valuable input, especially when they design drawings of clothing designs that will be made into finished products.
Ling Jin handed over some clothing design drawings to Kiki to evaluate. He asked, "Do you think these pictures are good for clothes?"
Kiki pondered for a moment, remembering the fashion trends in China in the 70s that were actually not too complicated. After 10 years of turmoil in which the country was very indifferent to fashion.In the era of reform and openness at that time, the, soon brought about a change with an emphasis on bright colors and floral patterns that were popular in both women's and men's clothing.
Kiki gave the input, "The ideas are good, but we can change some details. Try using a brighter color, such as orange or pink, and add a little floral pattern fabric to give a new impression ."
Ling Jin nodded in agreement, and Kiki continued, "There's also a problem with the ingredients. What fabric do you have? What color and type?"
Ling Jin called San Mila to bring some pieces of cloth they had. Some are remnants of broken fabrics or fabrics, and others may have less attractive colors.
Ling jin met someone who sold broken products like this on the black market. They have a promise to supply materials in the future. So the fabric supply will be guaranteed with it just that the material of course will never be good.
There are even broken mirrors in the non-uniform but this can still be functioned into a small mirror with various variations.All these connections can be from the black market.
But this cloth has a little problem.
Kiki said, "These fabrics may be suitable for making clothes for villagers, but to be sold in income and procurement cooperatives, we need fabrics that are more qualified and have attractive colors. Let's think about the source of the cloth we can obtain."
They all agreed to look for a better source of fabric that fit their vision of creating attractive vintage clothing.
It was now spring so they were all again preoccupied with the work in the fields.
Because it's time for them to make these things just a little.San Mio rushed to do that in between her break time.
As a result he and San Mila were not diligent in helping at home.
So when everyone was on the move making some stuff in Kiki's house actually in the San family's house there was a commotion.
San's grandmother scolded her daughter-in-law, the biological mother of San Mio, with anger. He grasped his staff and spoke in a stern tone, "How can you let your daughter be like this? They didn't come back for lunch, instead went to the service somewhere! It's not the first time, it's been many times, and it's all thanks to your bad teaching!"
San Mio's mother, dressed in tattered clothes, stood on the spot trembling, holding back tears and fury. He felt helpless as he looked at his two daughters who did not return home. In a sad and fearful tone, she replied, "I don't know what to do, mother. They were really naughty and seemed to be no longer teachable. I don't know where they got this kind of courage."
San Mio's father, who usually rarely spoke, frowned in annoyance. He never defended his wife and coldly said, "If you can't manage your children, what's the point of you here?"
These words made San Mio's mother fall and cry. Ever since her daughter broke off her engagement unilaterally, no good has happened at home. In addition to refusing to help with homework, her two children even laze around and go anywhere unannounced.
They even threaten to find food on their own if they are not fed. San Mila even threatened to go to the district to report their treatment and request a personally calculated job move. This family felt angry and humiliated, but they also did not want this family problem to be a byword in the village.
Pondering, San Mio's mother could only promise herself that if her two children came home, she would hit them all out.
Amidst this tense situation, the senior uncle interjected and put forward an idea, "I heard there was a former soldier who lost a hand, his family is looking for a daughter-in-law for him. What if we apply there and let this wicked girl become the wife of a disabled man?"
His grandmother was immediately interested and asked more about the situation and condition of the former soldier's family. They hear that his family is fine, but this guy is hard to get a job because of losing one hand.
Regarding the reason the former soldier's family was looking for a daughter-in-law quickly was because they were reluctant to take care of her again. They are tired of taking care of it and feel it is better to pay a high dowry, in this case Rp1,000, rather than continuously spending money for it.
Grandma San, with a red face extinguished, released her anger, "What?! Rp1,000? It's a golden opportunity, more money than we've seen in years! How can we convince him to accept this?"
The two children were already demons inside this house it was better to let him go and stay in someone else's house. But before leaving let them get that rp1,000 as the cost of raising it for years.
San Mio's father, who was usually calm, spoke in an excited tone, "That's right! Rp1,000 is an incredible amount. I don't care who is going to be her husband. Make a proposal right away, we have to win the girl!"
All the families, including uncle, aunt, and male cousin, agreed to find a way for the girl to accept the proposal without thinking too much about her condition. For them, that much money is a top priority, and they hope this will be a way out of their family problems.
Uncle and Aunt San Mio, also could not resist the temptation of that kind of money.Uncle San said, "Alright, let's make this proposal. But we have to find a way to get him to accept this offer."
How much they could save in a year, this rush was so great for villagers like them.
Soon all the family members nodded in agreement, this was a great opportunity, even if it meant having to face the two evil girls. They immediately began planning to make a proposal and persuaded the girl to accept this lucrative offer.
The girl's reputation is already ruined, and they don't want to repeat the bad experience with the previous engagement that culminated in a double dowry payment. How will they execute this plan without presenting any new problems?
San Mio and San Mila, unaware of the trouble their families were having at home, rushed to the fields as the bells rang.
because of the situation these two sisters did not come home after working in the fields but stopped at Kiki's house. Besides working there also served food for these two sisters.
Therefore, Ling Jin also got the benefit.So he could eat meat in the end by reason of two sisters.
But strangely Kiki never allowed them to help cook in the kitchen because of the time so narrow they were required to directly work inside Ling Jin.
The food will be brought to their room.
They knew that Kiki didn't even cook it just plucked it from the system drawer and pretended to serve it from the pot.
it was only a matter of minutes Gu Lenglei and Fang Yan came to pick up their lunch box.
But such treatment still put these two sisters to shame. That's really disrespectful at all.
San Mio shyly whispered"Kiki, we really can't thank her for all the help." Kiki had already closed the gate and they walked casually towards the field.
"No problem, you are my friends. It's just porridge, besides I have a lot of food in my barn, right?" kiki said reasoned.
Kiki also confessed, if she cooked for Fang Yan and Gu lenglei as well so just the matter of adding two handfuls of rice every time she cooked it would not be troublesome at all.
San Mila nodded and said"This is indeed better.But Kiki one day, we will definitely pay this debt."
For this brother and sister Kiki is even better when compared to their own mother at home.
Kiki smilingly said "Don't worry, you can pay when you have money."
"Mio, you shouldn't put that in Kiki's heart and she doesn't worry about the food running out.Again with you guys eating at home I'm also caught eating hahaha meat"ling Jin said slowly.
Afraid someone is hogging.
After that these four girls then left together to the fields. However, when they had slightly moved away from home, they decided to split up so that no one would know that they had always stopped by Kiki's house after working in the fields.
After some distance, San Mio whispered to San Mila, her sister "We must be careful. Don't let the people in the village know we're eating at Kiki's house."
San Mila agreed "True, we need to keep this a secret. Don't let our family know."
At least for the near future, both of them could not let people know what they were doing. Moreover, it could not let people know what they were eating at Kiki's house.
This will really put Kiki in trouble.
The two sisters are relieved to get help from Kiki, despite having to do it secretly.
In the fields, many people had secured jobs from village secretaries and scorekeepers, and some were immediately given the task of hoeing. They should be prepared to plant wheat and rice seeds.
Kiki herself was given the task of plucking the weed again, but this time she was ready with gloves, so she did not worry that her hands would be scuffed after work.
At first, everything went fine, but when Kiki felt tired, she sat leaning under a shady tree. It was only at that moment that he came back to the figure of Fang Xionan, who was usually very diligent in helping him in this kind of situation.
I don't know what happened to that guy. According to the gossip he heard, Fang Xionan had still returned several times in the winter, but had never stopped by his house again since being chased away by Kiki that night.
At first, Kiki felt nothing. However, at the time when the work became difficult, he suddenly felt a deep loss and his heart felt hollow. What exactly happened to Fang Xionan now?
