Chapter 638 Recognition
After recognizing each other, the father and daughter decided to live a good life in the capital. The most urgent thing is to find a place to live. Father Lu had saved some money by doing some odd jobs before, and Lu Xue had also saved a little money by helping her aunt with work during this period. They planned to rent a courtyard house. The father and daughter came to the capital, walked into the alleys, and asked around for information about renting a house. But the rent of the courtyard houses was either ridiculously expensive or dilapidated, requiring a large amount of repair costs. After searching for many days, they found nothing. Until one day, they found a courtyard house in a remote alley. The yard was not big, but it was clean and tidy. Several main rooms and side rooms were scattered in an orderly manner. There was an ancient well in the middle of the yard, and a pomegranate tree with lush branches and leaves was planted next to it. The landlord was a gray-haired old man. His children all worked in other places. He lived here alone and wanted to rent out the yard for some living expenses. Father Lu and Lu Xue fell in love with this yard at first sight. After bargaining with the old man, they finally rented it at a price they could accept. With a home, the next step is to find a job. In this era, job opportunities are scarce, and most of them require letters of introduction or recommendations from acquaintances. Father Lu and Lu Xue asked around and heard that a state-owned factory was recruiting workers, so they decided to try their luck. There was a long line at the factory gate, all of whom were applicants. Father Lu and Lu Xue stood in the line, feeling nervous and expectant. When it was their turn to interview, Father Lu, relying on the mechanical knowledge he had accumulated in modern times, put forward unique insights on some of the equipment in the factory, which made the interviewer's eyes light up; Lu Xue showed the female worker skills she had learned during this period, such as delicate needlework, simple but beautiful hand-woven, etc. After a rigorous assessment, Father Lu and Lu Xue were successfully hired by the factory. Father Lu was assigned to the technical maintenance department, and Lu Xue became a textile worker. On the first day of work, Lu Xue got up early, put on her cleanest clothes, and went out with her father. The machines in the factory roared, and the workers were busy at their respective posts. Lu Xue was taken to the textile workshop. Looking at the rows of textile machines running, she was both excited and nervous. Her master was an experienced elder sister who patiently taught her how to operate the machine and how to check the quality of the cloth. Lu Xue studied hard and quickly mastered the basic operating skills. However, the work was not smooth sailing. Once, when Lu Xue was operating the machine, she was negligent and caused defects in the cloth. After the workshop director found out, he severely criticized her. Lu Xue was full of grievances, tears rolled in her eyes, but she knew it was her fault and could only endure it silently. After get off work, Lu Xue returned home in a low mood. Lu's father saw that his daughter was not right, and patiently comforted her, telling her that everyone makes mistakes, and the important thing is to learn from mistakes. With the encouragement of her father, Lu Xue cheered up again. She used her rest time to humbly ask the master and other old employees for advice and constantly practiced operating skills. Gradually, she became more and more skilled in her work, never made any mistakes again, and was praised by the workshop director for her serious and responsible work. Father Lu also did a great job in the technical maintenance department. With his knowledge and experience, he solved many equipment failure problems and was recognized by leaders and colleagues. Days passed, and Lu Xue and her father's life in the capital gradually got on track. They got along very well with the neighbors around the courtyard. The neighbors often sent some vegetables grown by themselves, and Lu Xue and her father would share their own snacks with everyone. Once, an old lady in the yard was sick and bedridden. After Lu Xue and her father learned about it, they hurriedly took the old lady to see a doctor, running around to help her get medicine and take care of her. After the old lady recovered from her illness, she was very grateful to the father and daughter, and the whole alley gave them a thumbs up. As time went on, Lu Xue liked this era more and more. Although life was hard, the emotions between people were sincere and simple. She and her father found their own place here and started a new life. The quiet life occasionally has waves. One day, a new leader came to the factory to reform the factory management method. The department where Lu Xue and her father worked faced new challenges. The new leader required improving production efficiency and increasing output, which meant that the workers' work pressure increased greatly. Lu Xue and her father had to work overtime every day and collapsed on the bed when they got home. At a department meeting, Lu's father made some suggestions to optimize the work process and improve efficiency. After listening to him, the new leader thought it made sense and adopted his suggestions. After a period of adjustment, the factory's production efficiency was significantly improved and the workers' work pressure was also relieved. Lu Xue and her father's life in Beijing continued. They didn't know what difficulties and challenges they would encounter in the future, but they firmly believed that as long as they accompanied and supported each other, there would be no obstacles that they couldn't overcome. They wrote their own stories in this Beijing in the 1960s, and this time-travel experience would become the most precious wealth in their lives. On a full moon night, Lu Xue and her father sat under the pomegranate tree in the yard, eating homemade moon cakes. The moonlight sprinkled on them, reflecting a happy smile. Lu Xue looked up at the bright moon, her heart full of expectations for the future. She knew that no matter what the road ahead held, she and her father would walk forward bravely hand in hand.
One day, when Lu Xue was helping her aunt sort out clothes, she saw a piece of old-fashioned and monotonous clothes, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She studied fashion design in college. In modern times, she has a keen sense of fashion trends and unique design concepts. Why not use her professional knowledge to design some novel clothes in this era? Not only can she satisfy her pursuit of beauty, but she may also make a living from it. Once this idea came into being, it took root in Lu Xue's heart. She began to pay attention to the clothes of people around her and found that the clothes of this era were indeed of a single style, mostly practical, and rarely considered beauty and fashion. Lu Xue thought to herself that she must design clothes that not only meet the living needs of people in this era, but also add a bit of beauty. Lu Xue borrowed paper and pen from her aunt and began to draw design sketches in the room. Relying on her memory and observation of this era, she designed several improved cheongsams, retaining the elegant charm of traditional cheongsams, and adding some modern design elements to the neckline, cuffs and hem, making the cheongsam look more smart and fashionable. She also designed several tops and pants for daily wear, which are simple and elegant without losing individuality. After the design drawings were completed, Lu Xue faced a difficult problem, that is, how to turn these designs into real clothes. She knew that with her current ability, it would be difficult to complete the production alone, and she had to find a factory to help with the processing.
