Delighted with the Performance Costume Designs

She enjoyed listening to almost all of Deng Lijun's songs; her singing was truly wonderful. Han Baoyi, Feng Feifei, Cai Qin, Luo Dayou, and Qi Qin were also among the most popular singers of the early eighties.

After downloading all their songs, she selected some other foreign songs as well. Once she was done, she handed it to Song Qi. "Want to listen?"

Song Qi took it. "How do I use it?"

Shen Moxi explained the power button to him, along with how to switch songs and adjust the volume.

Song Qi took it, turned it on, selected a song, and lowered the volume to its minimum. A melodious song filled the room.

Shen Moxi also bought a small bracket to nail up tomorrow and put the speaker on.

The two lay under the covers, listening to music and growing a little drowsy. Shen Moxi reached out and turned it off. "Let's get some rest. I'm sleepy."

"All right." Song Qi held her and kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep."

They slept well all night.

After getting up in the morning, Shen Moxi went to make breakfast, while Song Qi went downstairs to clean and organize the clothes, adding the new styles Shen Moxi had made and putting prices on them.

Wang Xiaoxia had gotten up early too. Seeing Shen Moxi cooking, she fetched a broom and mop and cleaned the second-floor hallway, then cleaned the kitchen as well.

"Xiao Xi, let me make breakfast from now on. You can get a little more rest in the mornings." Wang Xiaoxia gathered up the rubbish.

"Sister-in-law, I can do it. You can cook for them when I'm away. Cooking isn't any trouble, and I like making food for everyone." Shen Moxi turned back and smiled.

Hearing that, Wang Xiaoxia did not insist. She nodded. "All right. Your cooking has spoiled their palates. Mine is just something they make do with."

"Sister-in-law, I just use a few more seasonings. Your cooking is delicious too. They're just used to yours, so eating mine feels different to them, that's all." Shen Moxi finished mixing the egg pancake batter, brushed a little oil into the pan, and began cooking the pancakes.

Wang Xiaoxia smiled. "Then I'll go check on Xiao Xuan. Call me if you need anything."

"All right, Sister-in-law. When Xiao Xuan gets up, make him a cup of malted milk. I bought him plenty, so don't be reluctant to use it," Shen Moxi called after her.

"All right, I know. Thank you, Xiao Xi." Wang Xiaoxia nodded.

"We're family. There's no need to be so formal." Shen Moxi shook her head.

Before long, she had made more than twenty egg pancakes, fried a few fried dough sticks, and boiled an egg for each person. She also bought two large cartons of whole milk from the system, took them out, and warmed the milk. There was just enough for a bowl each.

Once everything was ready, she went downstairs and saw Song Qi standing on a ladder, working on the speaker.

"Do you need any help?" Shen Moxi walked over.

"No, I can handle it. It's easy." Song Qi looked down at her and smiled.

"There's a remote for this. I'll leave it by the counter in a bit. It makes turning it on and off very convenient." Shen Moxi took the remote out of the storage room and pressed the power button. Music softly began to play.

"It's amazing. The people in that world really are incredible. You can't help admiring them." Having finished, Song Qi climbed down the ladder.

"Of course. China has five thousand years of history. All that time didn't pass for nothing." Shen Moxi raised her chin proudly.

"Heh, you always have something to say. Come on, let's eat." Song Qi put the ladder back in the small storeroom.

"Leave the music on. We'll be back down soon." Shen Moxi put the remote on the counter.

The two went upstairs. Shen Tao and the others had already washed up.

"Little Sister, why can I hear songs downstairs?" Shen Yuan came over after washing his face.

"Yes, I had Song Qi put a radio out there. I bought it on the black market. It should attract quite a few customers." Shen Moxi nodded.

"Little Sister, radios are expensive. Without a ration coupon, they cost even more." Shen Tao looked at her, pained by the expense.

"We can earn it back in half a day, and we'll be using it for a long time. Think long-term." Shen Moxi smiled.

"Let's eat. I want to go down and have a look afterward." Shen Yuan took an egg pancake and sat down.

"I'll get some pickles." Wang Xiaoxia took a small plate, brought the pickle jar out of the cupboard, and picked out some baby cucumbers and hot-and-sour radish.

Xiao Xuan sat in Shen Tao's lap, holding a pancake himself and eating with relish.

After breakfast, Shen Moxi went to the bedroom and took out Sun Xibai's two performance outfits, then found a pretty shopping bag and put them inside.

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I'm going out to deliver the dresses to Sister Bai at the performing arts troupe. Please keep an extra eye on things." Shen Moxi went downstairs and told them.

"Little Sister, when did you make those? I didn't even see you go out." Shen Yuan looked at the shopping bag she was carrying.

"I made them at night. These are simple, not that much trouble." Shen Moxi raised the clothes in her hand.

"That's my little sister for you," Shen Tao replied smugly.

Shen Moxi: "..." ( ˊૢ ⌑ ˋૢ lll )

She took her keys, opened the door, and wheeled out her bicycle, asking for directions along the way to the address Sun Xibai had given her.

The original owner of her body had never had anything to do with places like this and had never been here, so she did not know the way either.

After cycling for more than ten minutes, she arrived at a military compound. She stopped her bicycle and asked someone for directions, then reached Sun Xibai's workplace, where the women were rehearsing in the rehearsal room.

Shen Moxi stood in the doorway and watched them dance. They certainly lived up to being performers; they danced very well. When they finished, Shen Moxi applauded.

Sun Xibai turned around and saw Shen Moxi standing in the doorway. "Xiao Xi, you're here! Come on in."

Shen Moxi walked over with a smile. "Sister Sun, you danced so well. First place is sure to be yours."

"Haha, there's always someone better. You haven't seen the others perform." Sun Xibai smiled and shook her head.

"Sister Sun, I've finished the performance costumes. I made one set for you first. Try them both on. If they work, give me everyone's measurements, and I'll rush the rest out for you." Shen Moxi opened the bag in her hand and took out the two outfits.

"So soon? Xiao Xi, how did you manage to make them?" Sun Xibai took them in surprise.

"These clothes are a little simpler. I squeezed in some time in the afternoon and evening to make them." Shen Moxi picked up one outfit and held it open for her to see. "What do you think? Does it meet your requirements?"

The others were struck by the beauty of the performance costumes in Shen Moxi's hands and gathered around.

"Oh, these are so pretty! I've never seen anything like them before."

"Yes, these are the prettiest performance costumes I've seen in over a decade. Wearing these will bring us another big step closer to first place."

"This young lady is really talented. When Sister Sun came back and told us, I thought the designs wouldn't be much different from the usual ones. Now that I've seen them today, I realize how little I knew."

Sun Xibai had not expected Shen Moxi to design dresses so beautiful yet elegant either. She was extremely pleased. "Little Sister, I really must thank you. We're very happy with these. Compared with yours, our old performance costumes aren't fit to be seen."

Shen Moxi smiled. "Sister Sun, you're too kind. Everyone has simply been exposed to different things. As long as you like them, that's what matters. Why don't you put them on so I can have a look? If anything doesn't seem right, I can alter it."

"All right." Sun Xibai took the clothes to the back to change. The other women gathered around and asked where her shop was, saying they would go take a look together when they had time.

Naturally, Shen Moxi would not miss out on these moneybags. She gave them the shop's address and also told them there was a big promotion going on over the next few days, with some new clothing styles added too.

What woman didn't love looking beautiful? All the more so for women like them, whose living conditions and family circumstances were quite good. They unanimously decided to go have a look after work.
