Chapter 66: Gifts that come early are worse than gifts that come at the right time

Maybe he was too tired today. After looking at the night view for a while, Lin Siqiao's eyelids began to droop. When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

As expected, his nose started to become blocked in the morning. Lin Siqiao quickly took two cold medicines and drank a large cup of Isatis root.

In three days she will go on stage to fight for the throne, and she cannot get sick at this critical moment.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Siqiao rode his bike to the vicinity of his workplace and saw a long queue outside the Friendship Store from afar.

They are all foreign guests!

Many employees were deeply moved when they saw this scene.

Usually they would surround the foreign guests, and sometimes they would be turned away by the foreign guests.

When you see the foreign guests queuing up in an orderly manner, you can’t help but feel proud and excited!

Lin Siqiao saw it and didn't think much about it. He went to the office and started concentrating on his work.

Yesterday’s design drawings were preliminarily completed, and Lin Siqiao spent the entire morning revising and polishing them.

I spent the afternoon discussing the details with Master Zhou.

Master Zhou is an expert in cutting, and Lin Siqiao has learned a lot from him.

When it was almost time to get off work, Director Zhong came over to inspect the work, and Lin Siqiao took the opportunity to make a request.

"Director, can you think of a way? I want to order a batch of kraft paper packaging bags and this box."

Lin Siqiao showed the sketch to Director Zhong.

For a good product, in addition to controlling the quality, the outer packaging cannot be ignored.

People spent a lot of money to buy your clothes, you can't just give them a piece of newspaper and wrap them up like that.

That would also lower the quality of the product.

"Director, look at this packaging bag. It has our Friendship Store brand on it, and it's in multiple languages."

"Kraft paper packaging bags are strong and durable, and people will definitely not want to throw them away after taking them home."

"From now on, whenever they carry this out, it will be like a mobile billboard."

"And look at this again."

Lin Siqiao pointed to the packaging box. This box used the design of Chinese red and Ruyi knot. It looked gorgeous but not vulgar, and elegant!

"Director, do you think that if clothes are placed in here, they will look very expensive?"

"have!"

Director Zhong's thoughts suddenly became clear.

It's obviously the same thing, but the different packaging gives people a completely different feeling.

"Xiao Lin, this is a very good idea!"

"I will report this to the higher-ups right away."

Director Zhong did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately returned to his office.

Seeing how anxious he was, Lin Siqiao couldn't help but smile.

With such an easy-to-talk to leader, going to work becomes more pleasant. However, no matter how happy I am, it is impossible to work overtime.

With five minutes left before getting off work, Lin Siqiao had already packed his things.

Of course, before that she also greeted Master Lin and Master Zhou.

The next steps will be completed by them.

The two masters then realized that Xiaolin was still in college and only came over on weekends.

They feel very gratified that their younger generations are so outstanding.

"Don't worry, we will sort out the threads in advance after the clothes are made."

“All clothes will also be ironed before being handed over to customers.”

Lin Siqiao nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Masters."

“It should be.”

When the time came, Lin Siqiao rushed home immediately.

It is hard work, but she doesn't have many friends now, and it's very boring to be alone at home on weekends.

It’s better to come out and earn some money.

As usual, I boiled two bottles of autumn pear paste in the evening, which I will send back to my grandmother and others when the time comes.

Lin Siqiao has already received the package and money order her grandmother sent her.

Thinking of this, Lin Siqiao couldn't help but sigh.

My grandparents are old and it’s not easy for them to save money. It would take them at least several years to save up these two hundred yuan, but in the end they all gave it to her, who has no shortage of money.

My second uncle even specifically said on the phone that this was the love of my grandparents.

Let her take it so they can feel at ease.

Lin Siqiao felt a little sad because the village team had not yet been connected by phone. After thinking about it, she took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to her grandparents.

She didn't dare mention how much she earned a month, for fear of scaring them. She only said that she would work at the Friendship Store on weekends and would have no worries about food and drink.

He also mentioned his current situation in the letter, for example, he rented a house from a good friend.

For example, I am very comfortable in both life and work now.

Lin Siqiao really doesn't only report good news but also bad news. She is genuinely satisfied with her current life.

As for the two hundred yuan, Lin Siqiao estimated that they would have to send it back when the time came.

After thinking about it, I decided not to bother.

Now that the weather is getting colder, she might as well add some money to buy some things to send back to her grandparents.

After all, Tongcheng and Ancheng are both small cities with limited supplies, and many times you can't buy anything even if you want to spend money.

Unlike Shanghai, where there are several department stores, many people who come here will bring some gifts back for their relatives and friends.

Wool sweaters, leather shoes, and leather bags are all in-demand items, so buying them will be just the thing for you.

Lin Siqiao pasted the envelope and planned to go over and take a look tomorrow at noon.

As it turned out, man proposes, God disposes. Early the next morning, Lu Yunshu came to her and told her to ask Lin Siqiao to go to her house for lunch at noon.

"Oh, noon?"

"Well, my eldest brother is back."

"Grandma told me to invite you along so we can have lunch together at the old house at noon."

Lin Siqiao didn't really want to go. It was a family reunion and she was an outsider after all. It would be awkward to go.

"Yun Shu, I won't go."

"I have to go to the department store to buy some things at noon."

When Lu Yunshu heard this, he immediately said, "Oh, I'll go to the department store with you tomorrow at noon. Grandma told me to take you there today."

"If you don't go, I can't do this job."

Lin Siqiao: Ah... this...

Lu Yunshu thought she was afraid of her elder brother and quickly explained.

"Si Qiao, let me tell you, my eldest brother has a cold face, but he is actually not fierce at all."

"I've been talking about you in front of him these past two days."

"My eldest brother is now very curious about what this new friend of mine looks like."

“…”

Is Brother Lu really curious?

No he doesn't!

Lin Siqiao was so embarrassed that she almost scraped out a three-bedroom apartment. At this time, Lu Yunshu suddenly sighed.

"But my eldest brother was injured during this mission. His condition is quite serious. I heard him coughing these past two days."

After he finished speaking, he paused and stared at Lin Siqiao's hands.

"Si Qiao, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Ah... This is the autumn pear paste I made myself. I prepared it for you to take back to Grandma Lu."

Lin Siqiao's voice became smaller and smaller, but Lu Yunshu was extremely excited and hooked her arms around Lin Siqiao's neck.

"Si Qiao, your gift is better coming at the right time than coming early!"

Her elder brother urgently needs this now!
