The cold wind blew in, causing the kerosene lamp in the glass cover to sway.
Luo Xiujuan turned sideways and stared at the man in front of her who was half a head taller than her, looking into his hopeful eyes. After a moment of silence, she suddenly revealed a smile that was neither salty nor bland.
"what are you thinking?"
she says.
"I'm afraid you broke your head. You're from the city. It's your first time here. How did you and I know each other before?"
The light in Xun Xiangbin's eyes suddenly went out.
He couldn't help but take two steps back. He still didn't quite believe it and stared at Luo Xiujuan helplessly.
Luo Xiujuan stepped out of the threshold neatly, turned around and closed the door for him, and said as if nothing had happened: "Go to bed early, the barefoot doctor will have to come to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, he closed the door.
When she turned to leave, Luo Xiujuan felt the tip of her nose sore, and two lines of clear tears fell down her cheeks.
There was a noise in the west room, as if the old lady was calling someone. Luo Xiujuan hurriedly wiped away her tears, sniffed the tip of her nose, pretended to be nonchalant and responded in a loud voice, then hurriedly lifted the cotton curtain and entered the room.
Inside the hall.
Xun Xiangbin, who was rejected, still held the kerosene lamp and stood there in despair.
For some reason, he always felt depressed.
He felt an indescribable familiarity with Luo Xiujuan, who took care of him day and night, which made him feel at ease and couldn't help but want to rely on her.
But Luo Xiujuan said... they didn't know each other.
…
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, Ye Yun began to buy new year's goods for home.
There are also things for confinement.
The expected date of delivery is around the seventh day of the first lunar month. She and Qin Zheng got married in May. They only had one menstrual period before they won the bid. Taking advantage of the fact that the belly is not too big yet, they tried their best to buy what they could to save time during confinement. No matter how uncomfortable I am.
In her previous life, she had never given birth to a child, and she didn't quite know what she needed to do.
She could only buy the things she needed based on the experiences of those around her who had children, such as soft pajamas that could be used to breastfeed without lifting her clothes.
Nowadays, there are very few styles of clothes, let alone clothes specially designed for breastfeeding. Mothers basically lift up their tops and feed their children directly, regardless of whether they look ugly or not.
But she had seen the perspective of future generations, and based on her memory, she drew the pajamas with overlapping slits on the sides for breastfeeding.
Drawings were drawn and Liu Wan was asked to make two sets.
Liu Wan's eyes instantly shone when she saw her drawings, saying that this was a great business opportunity!
"Ye Yun! You are so amazing. How did you come up with this idea? Once this pajama is made, it will definitely be a hit!"
Ye Yun twitched her lips.
After Chen Zhenxing went to work, Liu Wan was promoted to the director of Baiyun Garment Factory, and his vision became more and more like a businessman.
I'm afraid she will have to go to sea soon.
"In today's society, almost no one pays attention to the privacy of mothers. Everyone seems to be used to mothers being forced to lift their clothes in public places to feed their children due to their crying children. No one pays attention to whether they feel ashamed, but This dress perfectly solves this problem." Liu Wan touched the design on the drawing, her eyes gleaming.
Ye Yun nodded.
The reason why she drew this style was to make it less embarrassing when breastfeeding in the future.
At least on the day of confinement, when the baby was crying for feeding, she didn't have to be forced to lift her clothes and expose her body to others like other women.
"Are you planning to mass-produce this?"
"Okay, do you want to take it?"
"Um..." Liu Wan couldn't put it down and looked at the drawing for a long time, but in the end, she put it in front of her, "No way, this style will be popular at first sight, and Baiyun Garment Factory's profits are quite stable now. Yes, we don’t need any styles to help. Baiyun Garment Factory will lose such a good idea, so let your garment factory do it."
Baiyun Garment Factory is publicly owned.
Although Ye Yun also has shares, the profits will still be divided by the public.
Lantian Garment Factory belongs to Ye Yun, and all the money earned will go into Ye Yun's pocket.
"Just wait, I'll go back to make patterns and make two pieces for you myself." Liu Wan took the drawings and left the pastry shop in a hurry.
Ye Yun watched her leave.
The figure of Liu Wan riding the 28-meter pole was getting farther and farther away in her sight. Ye Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, took a sip of tea, picked up the paper and pen next to her and drew several different styles of the idea she just created.
Afterwards, she called Brother Bing and asked him to take the drawings back to the factory to make patterns quietly.
Time seems to be pressing the button of peace and quiet. The business of the garment factory is in full swing, and the pastry shop is also booming. Taking advantage of this period, Ye Yun went to the city to buy a store and prepared to open a third branch.
It will be renovated before the year and can be opened after the year.
The number of products in the shop gradually increased. Ye Yun developed pastries that could be stored for a long time, and also made some handmade candies, which attracted many people to buy them as gifts for the New Year.
Tian Xiaohui became even busier.
Not only did she have to receive students who came to do their homework after school, but she also had to rush all night to make cakes and handmade candies for customers who had ordered them, so she couldn't sleep much.
Fortunately, there is also Xing Yujie.
Mr. Wu seemed to have given Xing Yujie a holiday so that he could be free every day and help Tian Xiaohui. Sometimes he would sleep directly in Gu Jin's house when he was too busy.
Gu Jin doesn't go back to the shop much recently.
I heard that the New Year was approaching and there was a wave of blind dates in the city. Gu Jin was being carried around by Lao Gu and her mother.
Gu Jin's conditions are quite good.
He is a child of an aristocratic family. He has only one younger sister. His parents are young, one is in business and the other is a public servant. The family has a strong financial background.
He himself is even more good-looking, tall, with peach blossom eyes and a particularly charming smile.
With such conditions, the people introduced by relatives, friends and matchmakers are naturally good matches.
Lao Gu and Gu's mother were very happy.
But Gu Jin and Gu Yingying were not happy.
Gu Jin didn't want to go on a blind date or get married. She was so resistant that she wanted to run away from home as soon as she saw the matchmaker.
As for Gu Yingying...
This is how she complained to Ye Yun:
"I don't like the way those women look at my brother, and I don't like the way my brother wants to marry me a sister-in-law!"
"If I have a sister-in-law, wouldn't it take half of my brother's love for me?"
"My brother loves me the most. I am only eighteen years old this year, and I have only received his love for eighteen years. If someone suddenly took away all his love from me, it is difficult for me to imagine whether I can bear it. "
"Besides, my brother doesn't like women."
Ye Yun couldn't hold back after hearing these words.
"You said your brother doesn't like women?"
"Yes." Gu Yingying frowned, held her chin in her hands, glanced at Qin Zheng who was smoking with Gu Jin in the yard, and sighed resentfully: "My brother has said before that he has a crush on Brother Qin Zheng."
Ye Yun: "..."
Sister, do you still believe this nonsense?
Thinking that Gu Jin had someone he liked in his previous life, she wanted to dispel Gu Yingying's last point and smiled gently: "Actually, your brother also likes women."
Gu Yingying was stunned: "Huh?"
"No, you go ask him."
Ye Yun shrugged and still smiled: "Also, if your brother marries you a sister-in-law, he won't necessarily compete with you for favor. Isn't there one more person who loves you?"
"She is the sister-in-law and you are the younger sister. How nice it is to have one more person to love you."
