Su Xiu, a flower in a textile factory, has been working for twenty years, but she didn't expect to receive a layoff notice. My husband is a quiet and nice guy in the workplace, and his salary is just enough to support the family. One of their children is about to take the college entrance examination, and the other is about to go to junior high school. It's time to spend money. As soon as he was ridiculed by the factory director's wife in public, "Without the iron rice bowl, I will drink from the northwest wind in the future," my sister-in-law came to the door to complain about her poverty, and wanted to bring her children over to "borrow" her for a living. Overnight, Su Xiu changed from a regular worker in a state-owned enterprise that everyone envied, to a "laid-off female worker" that everyone in the compound talked about. Everyone was waiting to see her joke. But they didn't know that Su Xiu's hands, which had been practiced in the workshop for twenty years, were not only good at spinning, but also cutting clothes. From imitating the bell-bottoms in Hong Kong style magazines, to improving the fashionable Doliang shirts, to designing costumes for the art troupe... Su Xiu set up a sewing machine in her living room. At first, neighbors approached the business with suspicion. Later, women in the entire compound began to line up to wait for Su Xiu's "exclusive customization". Later, the wife of the factory director at that time squeezed into the crowd with a brand new "Great Unity" and asked eagerly: "Xiu, look at my body material, how long will it take to make a dress?" Su Xiu didn't even raise her head, flicking the measuring tape in her hand: "I'm sorry, the order is full, come back next month." This is a passionate story about a laid-off female worker who became the founder of a clothing brand without a golden finger, relying solely on a pair of skillful hands and a lonely courage. **Tags: Entrepreneurship in the ** era, inspirational life, slap-in-the-face articles, parents' shortcomings, group portraits
