The 1970s Female Supporting Actress Counterattack

Under Lin Wanwan's relentless urging, Lin Qiu's family compensated her with 50 feet of cloth coupons and 280 yuan.

Lin Wanwan didn't need to make so many clothes for the time being, so cash was more practical. It just so happened that they couldn't afford so many cloth coupons, so the rest was all cash.

Lin Wanwan took it and counted it, then put it away. According to her understanding of them, it was necessary to be strict.

Lin Qiu was so angry watching her counting the money that her teeth itched. She had never taken so much money before, and it suddenly became Lin Wanwan's advantage.

The only clothes that Lin Wanwan could wear were the ones that were hung outside to dry, so within two days she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and used the cloth coupons to buy more than 20 feet of cloth, all of which were the popular Dacron fabrics. She bought three main colors, and also bought some other colors to embellish or decorate the clothes, and also bought some lace.

There was a sewing machine at home, and Lin Wanwan and Zeng Hongyu had learned how to use it, which was very convenient for making clothes. She had drawn many design drawings before, and Lin Wanwan took a fancy to a white knee-length skirt in it, and began to make clothes with the cloth.

She used scissors to cut out the fabric and style shape she needed, and then used the sewing machine to sew according to her design. Soon a white dress was ready. The skirt has a shirt collar, inspired by a long shirt. The front is sewn together with needle and thread, and the middle is piled up with layers of pleats to tighten the waist, but it does not look cumbersome, but rather very stylish, with an open hem underneath.

The overall style of the skirt is casual and everyday, and the slim fit design also shows elegance.

It was already very late when Lin Wanwan finished making the skirt. When Zeng Hongyu got up at night, she saw that the light in her daughter's room was still on, so she knocked on the door, "Wanwan, why aren't you asleep yet."

Lin Wanwan was trying on the skirt and opened the door, "Mom, do you think my skirt looks good?"

Nowadays, people's clothes are monotonous in color and style, and most of them are dark-colored, stain-resistant tops and pants. Most of the skirts with novel styles and bright colors can only be worn by rich people, and they have to be bought ready-made from department stores.

"It looks good, it looks like it was bought from a department store. The style is really good, it makes you look energetic."

After receiving her mother's praise, Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Mom, if you want new clothes in the future, I will make them for you."

"Okay, pack up quickly and go to bed early." Zeng Hongyu went out happily.

Lin Wanwan washed the clothes and could wear them out when she had the right time.

Lin Wanwan's money-saving plan did not stop, but she had to choose the right day. She could only go out when her father was out playing so that she could have time to make cakes.

Now that reform and opening up have not been put on the agenda, doing small business is still considered "speculation". Her family will definitely not let her take this risk, so Lin Wanwan can only do it secretly.

But this is not a long-term solution. She will set up a stall every one or two days. If she is unlucky, she will definitely be discovered if she makes cakes at home, so she wants to find another kitchen.

After get off work in the morning, the supervisor directly told the people in the factory to take a half-day holiday. The city issued a notice that the power supply station needs to upgrade its equipment and their area will be cut off for half a day.

Lin Wanwan just used this time to make cakes. After lunch, Lin Wanwan went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. The raw materials must be bought ready-made to be fresh. If she bought too much, she would have no place to put it.

There was a little girl playing not far from the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. She was a primary school student on summer vacation. Lin Wanwan bought things for her several times. Lin Wanwan would pay a dime for running errands every time, just enough to buy a popsicle.

Lin Wanwan hadn't come for two days. The little girl estimated that she would come back today and waited for her at the door early.

"Sister!" The little girl jumped up from the chair when she saw Lin Wanwan. "Are you here to buy things again? I'll help you."

Seeing her so active, Lin Wanwan could easily guess that she was waiting for her here, "Yes, are you so happy?"

"There are popsicles to eat." Xiaoyu's eyes were round and her mouth was greedy.

Lin Wanwan smiled, gave her the money and grain coupons, and then told her what to buy. Xiaoyu nodded and ran into the supply and marketing cooperative flexibly.

Lin Wanwan waited for her to come back. A gust of wind blew over and blew away the stuffiness on her body. The sun was already covered by a large dark cloud, and it was about to rain.

Soon Xiaoyu bought back the things that Lin Wanwan had ordered. Lin Wanwan gave Xiaoyu a dime and asked her to buy the popsicles and go home early.

She also seized the time to go home before the heavy rain came.

Seeing that it was about to rain, there were fewer pedestrians on the road. Lin Wanwan quickened her pace and almost trotted at the back, but it still rained halfway.

The rain came fast and hard, and Lin Wanwan had no choice but to temporarily take shelter under the eaves.

The rain flowed down the eaves and hit Lin Wanwan's feet. The splashing water wet her cloth shoes a little.

After standing under the eaves for ten minutes, Lin Wanwan was blown by the cold wind with water vapor. Her exposed arms felt a little cold, so she rubbed her arms with her free hand.

Lin Wanwan looked at the heavy rain. The sky was covered with dark clouds. I don't know when the rain will stop.

It's really unlucky, Lin Wanwan thought so.

A man came out from the corner, holding a black umbrella, tall and thin. Lin Wanwan couldn't see his face through the rain, but he felt familiar.

"Wanwan?" The man came closer and looked at her in front of her.

"Song Zhi? Why are you here?" Lin Wanwan's voice gradually became higher, with an unconcealable joy in her voice. She finally saw hope.
