Chapter 75: Busy

The next morning, Li Wei went to Li Jianbo's class and found the head teacher of their class and asked about it.
The teacher told her: "Li Jianbo came to complete the withdrawal procedures two days before the start of school. It is a pity, a good seed, as long as it performs normally, the college entrance examination will definitely shine, and Peking University and National Tsing Hua University will choose him at that time. Our school might still be famous for him. Several leaders of the school value him very much, but they suddenly made such an appearance."
"This is the result of the second brother's deliberation. We can only respect his choice."
"I hope he can find his place after he goes abroad and become a famous person." The head teacher took Li Jianbo for three years. In his teaching career, it was the first time he met such an outstanding student as Li Jianbo.
The second brother really went abroad.
Because of the second brother's leaving without saying goodbye, Li Wei was unhappy for several days, not in the mood to do anything.
Just after school this afternoon, Li Wei just packed his schoolbags, and Wang Yu came.
Li Wei glanced at her and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you. How's your new year?"
Wang Yu originally had shawl hair, but now it is cut to ear length. She looked tired, but smiled hard at Li: "It's okay."
The two pushed the car back out of the school gate. Wang Yu asked Li Wei about Li Jianbo.
"Why did Li Jianbo drop out of school?"
Li Wei raised his head to look at the clouds in the western sky, and said after a long while, "Maybe I want to see the outside world."
"I really don't understand him."
"You like my second brother, don't you?"
Facing Li Wei’s straightforward questioning, Wang Yu was shy, but generously nodded and agreed:
Yes, I like him. It’s fine for you to laugh at me, but I’m not the only one who likes a good boy like him. I'm not the only one who confessed. But he... I don't seem to understand his mind. He is too old and he feels like an uncle."
Like an uncle? For Li Wei, Jianbo is indeed more like an elder sometimes.
The two of them talked about Li Jianbo all the way, and when they were about to part ways, Wang Yucai and Li Wei talked about business.
"On May 4th, there will be a youth party in the county, requiring every middle school to produce a program, and some units also have a program. Our art department pondered and pondered, and I felt that the "Chun Jiang Hua Yue Ye" "Very good, do you want to sign up?"
It's only March here, less than two months before May Fourth. Li Wei thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will ask the people in my class tomorrow, and make a decision after studying."
Wang Yu said: "I am waiting for your good news."
The two parted ways, and Li Wei rode his bike towards home.
Before he got home, he heard the sound of a guitar coming from the house. Li Wei's heart jumped. Could it be that her second brother is back again. Li Wei hurriedly jumped out of the car, pushed the bicycle aside, and hurried into the house. But I saw that Li Jianping was playing with that guitar. Li Jianping was not good enough to play it, and his intermittent tune was unable to form a song.
Li Wei couldn't hide his disappointment.
Li Jianping looked up at Li Wei and said, "Are you coming back."
"Well, brother." Li Wei dropped these words and went back to his room.
The next day, as the monitor, Li Wei said about Wang Yu in the class, and everyone had no objections. Later, Li Wei reported their program.
This time they took a long time to prepare to design their costumes and hairstyles. The last performance was not difficult for them to cooperate.
Li Wei stays and dances with everyone every afternoon. After getting busy, she temporarily forgot the depression brought to her by her second brother's departure.
Regarding the clothing, she drew the design drawings herself and planned to find someone to order it. The fabric and wages, one set will cost almost two hundred. Li Wei was in trouble because of the clothes. Two hundred yuan is like a large sum for a middle school student. You can only ask for it at home, but the parents are unwilling to pay it.
When she suffered a setback in clothing matters, Hu Linlin comforted her: "You are too striving for perfection. Although I have seen your design drawings are very beautiful, but they must be based on reality. Or we should borrow from the County Cultural Center. Remodel it yourself."
Li Weidao: "The cultural center will no longer be loaned out. They also want to use that outfit, so I had to find a way by myself."
Hu Linlin looked at Li Wei, who was in distress, and wanted to share the burden for her, but he couldn't think of a compromise.
"Mother, if you want to think well, you still have to do it yourself." Li Wei made up his mind and planned to do it himself.
On the weekend, she found a shop selling cloth, which happened to have the materials she needed, and asked about the price, which was five yuan per meter. If you buy more, you can get a discount. In addition to selling fabrics, they also sell other accessories, such as sequins, tassels, bells, gold and silver threads, various plastic beads, and rice beads.
If you buy fabrics and materials and tailor them yourself, then one set is not too expensive. Li Wei told the girls who were dancing.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that they made clothes by themselves, and said one after another, "None of us can."
"I know how to cut. Who has a sewing machine?"
Hu Linlin immediately said that they have it at home. Li Wei nodded and said, "I will borrow your sewing machine to use it. Maybe you will have to trouble your mother for help. I have calculated it carefully, and the cost of a set is about Around seventy. Can you afford such a price?"
Those girls all said that there was no problem.
Li Wei first paid the money and bought back the fabrics and accessories, and then asked Hu Linlin to measure everyone's size and note down everyone's size.
She took the size and started cutting.
When she was still in Shangshufu, she also sew clothes by herself, even after entering the palace, she also made skirts by herself. After all these years, my hands are unavoidable. Fortunately, there are many more tools at hand than in Daqi. She drew the line with the pink block, and started cutting while holding the scissors.
Hu Linlin said on the side: "Li Wei, what are your abilities in hiding?"
Li Wei said modestly: "What are my abilities. I made it simple and easy to modify, and it would be convenient to use it later."
Hu Linlin smiled and said, "You think long-term."
On the weekend, Li Wei went to Hu Linlin's house with this pile of cut materials, and asked Hu Linlin's mother to sew them with a sewing machine.
Hu Linlin’s mother smiled when she saw this pile of things and said,
You’re going to toss.
When she sewed a dance skirt for Hu Linlin to try, she was dumbfounded and exclaimed,
The style is so beautiful and cut. It’s pretty good too."
"Yes, it seems that you have to do it yourself."
With the help of Hu Linlin's mother, the clothes were sewn upside down. For the remaining accessories and some decorative patterns, Li Wei adopted hand-stitched stitching. After a busy period of half a month, the costume was finally made. Li Wei asked everyone to put on the test jump, hesitating to tailor it to his own size, which fits perfectly. The effect is much better than the one I borrowed temporarily.
Hu Linlin said confidently: "This time I will definitely achieve more complete results."
