In stories about "true and false young misses," others usually transmigrate into noble daughters who were lost outside. With one transmigration, they step on cannon fodder, become the cente...
Su Xueyan's childish words, full of childish innocence and uniqueness, made the adults present smile knowingly. It was Xu Kekuan who touched the top of Su Xueyan's head with a smile and said, "Grandpa Xu, if you don't eat this cake, Grandpa Xu will lose all his teeth."
After all, he is nearly 60 years old. In modern times, if middle-aged and elderly people of this age do not take good care of their oral health, various problems will arise. What's more, it is rare in this era for someone like Mr. Xu to brush his teeth with toothpaste every morning and evening. However, compared with the numerous and effective oral health maintenance equipment and specialized dental clinics in modern times, it is naturally incomparable.
Walking with her sister on the crowded street, Su Xueyan looked up and said, "Sister, I tore my clothes today." As she said that, she lifted up the clothes she was wearing.
Today, the little girl wore a narrow-sleeved aqua-red futon and an apricot-colored crepe half-sleeve, with a crimson tassel skirt underneath. The apricot-colored headband holding her two buns on her head matched the colors of her clothes perfectly, making her look lively and adorable.
However, near the right elbow, a finger-long strip of fabric was clearly scraped off.
But the strip of cloth just fell down, without scraping off a piece of fabric directly.
"Mother just sewed you a new dress yesterday, and you tore it today?" Su Qingluan sighed helplessly.
"I was careless..." Su Xueyan felt guilty, "There was a beautiful butterfly landing on the tree at the door, and I wanted to catch it." As it turned out, the elm tree at the door of Nong Mo Xuan was an old tree for quite a few years, and with its trunk intertwined, it was inevitable that there would be branches extending sideways.
When Su Xueyan's attention was attracted by the butterfly, she naturally ignored the situation around her and leaned against the tree casually. How could this thin material suitable for early summer wear withstand it?
"Then you risked your clothes to pieces, but did you catch the butterfly?" Su Qingluan asked even though she knew the result.
Su Xueyan lowered her head, feeling a little lost: "The butterfly flew away..."
"If you really want butterflies, I'll take you to catch them someday. But now, let's go to Auntie first and let her see if your clothes can be mended."
Su Qingluan used to think that if clothes were torn, they were torn, and she could just buy new ones. But once, Su Qingluan's clothes were torn, and Yang said, "Leave it there, I'll mend it for you." At first, Su Qingluan didn't take it seriously, thinking that the family didn't need the money for a new piece of clothing, so she could just wait until spring to buy new clothes.
At that time, it was the first year that Su Qingluan came here through time, and it was also the time when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. It was very dangerous to go in and out of the mountain roads, so she thought it didn't matter if she just wore the scratched clothes.
Unexpectedly, she really underestimated Yang's needlework. Su Qingluan searched the torn clothes many times before she found a very inconspicuous trace of mending under the scorching sun in broad daylight - because Yang used cotton thread of the same color to split a single strand, reconnected the torn fabrics on both sides, and hid the stitches and seams on the lining of the clothes.
Because this is a winter coat and is worn outside, the slightly uneven stitching does not cause any discomfort. And if you don't look carefully with a magnifying glass, the stitching is usually invisible!
Su Qingluan was once again shocked by Yang's needlework skills - second only to the time when she made three sets of ready-made clothes for her three children.
So she asked Yang again: "Mother, what kind of tailor shop do you want to open?"
So in the spring of the following year, Su Qingluan found a shop for her mother in Lefeng Town and converted it into a clothing store.
Everything in Lefeng Town is clustered together. For example, around Su Qingluan's jam shop, whether it's a large-scale store or a mobile vendor, most of them sell food. Occasionally, there are two or three selling other things, but they are rare.
Similarly, the place where Yang opened a garment shop basically sold ready-made clothes, fabrics, jewelry, silk and other things. Even Aunt Yang, who had been "facing each other from a distance" with Skinny Monkey before, started selling fabrics nearby after knowing that Yang had opened a garment shop. Now she is one of the suppliers of "Qiao Niang Garment Shop".
Su Qingluan's thoughts were interrupted by the touch of her sister holding her hand. She felt the force on her hand pulling her back: "Sister, if you go any further, you're going too far!"
Su Qingluan came to her senses and turned to look to the side, away from her previous thoughts. The big words "Qiao Niang Garment Shop" came into her sight.
"Qiao Niang" was Yang's maiden name, and ordinary people around her didn't call her by that name. So it was not until about half a year after she traveled through time and space, when Su Qingluan spent the first New Year's Eve, that she heard her father call her mother that for the first time.
At that time, Dad's voice was very gentle and low, and Mom looked shy. Later, when she found out that Su Qingluan had heard it, she felt even more embarrassed and asked Su Guangfu not to call her like that in front of the child.
At that time, Su Qingluan just felt that she, a single dog, was suddenly very full, so her first reaction was to run away.
However, when A Niang made up her mind to open a clothing store, Su Qingluan thought the name "Qiao Niang Clothing Store" was a good one.
Although Yang was straightforward, she still felt uncomfortable using her maiden name as a sign. Su Guangfu persuaded her, "We're not like those rich ladies who are ashamed to reveal their maiden names. We don't have those frivolous rules. And your name sounds like you have a pair of deft hands!"
Su Qingluan also nodded: "Yes, yes, from the name I heard, the shopkeeper seems to be a clever and skillful person!"
So the name of the store was decided.
Yang opened a garment shop in the town, and Su Guangfu became a boy working for his wife. The garment shop needed to purchase goods frequently, and the various fabrics were all quite heavy.
Su Guangfu was born into a peasant family and had been working as a carpenter for many years. He was very strong and made up for the shortage of manpower in the Yang family.
As for the Su family's fields, they no longer need to worry about them, and many villagers are willing to help them farm.
Unlike most people who were attracted by the generous "OEM" price offered by the Su family, Li Sanlang from the neighboring Li family was grateful to the Su family for helping his wife through a difficult time, and would rather help the Su family cultivate the land without getting paid.
Of course, the other party was well-intentioned, but the Su family would not do such a shameful thing as "exploiting labor for free". If Li Sanlang was willing to help, the Su family would naturally give priority to familiar neighbors. However, the price did not decrease because the other party did not want it. Instead, the Su family always sent eggs or other food to the Li family, just to allow Sun Guixiang to replenish her body after the heavy bleeding during childbirth.
Su Qingluan walked into the shop and saw Yang checking the day's incoming payments on an abacus, while Su Guangfu was busy climbing up and down the ladder, re-rolling and arranging the various cloths that had been tangled today, leaving one end of cloth facing outward on the shelf. This made the shop look more tidy and made it easier for Yang to take it out again for customers to measure tomorrow.
Hearing the noise at the door, Yang smiled and asked, "Is the eldest daughter here? Where's the third daughter?"
Su Qingluan turned around and asked: Where is the little girl Su Xueyan?
