The timber market was also on the outskirts of the city, not far from Heping Village. In just half an hour, Wu Lanhua called Zhou Fugui and the other person back.

Neither the father nor the son was tall, and their skin was tanned from years of manual labor, but they were full of energy.

On the way, they had already heard that Yang Qiaoqiao and the others had come to their house to express their gratitude and that they wanted to become godparents.

As soon as they entered, the two warmly shook hands with Huo Beixiao and Yang Jianguo.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaohui went to help Guo Jingyun and Wu Lanhua cook, while Huo Beixiao, Yang Qiaoqiao, and Yang Jianguo chatted with Zhou Fugui and his son Zhou Hongchang in the main room.

Both father and son are honest people. When talking about Guo Jingyun helping to report the incident to the police, they frankly said that when they first heard about it, they were still a little scared, fearing that the criminal's accomplice would retaliate.

They were relieved only after hearing from the police that the police had begun to issue arrest warrants for the criminal's accomplices.

At the dinner table, Huo Beixiao also took the initiative to speak up, telling the Zhou family to come to them if they ever had any difficulties in the future, and that they would definitely help if they could.

Zhou Fugui waved his hand and said, "Beixiao, I know your family are all capable people. Although my family doesn't have that much ability, the country's policies are good now, and our lives are getting better and better. We are very content with our current life."

Of course, if we ever encounter difficulties and have to ask for your help, we will absolutely not hesitate to ask.

After Zhou Fugui finished speaking, he called his son Zhou Hongchang and they clinked glasses with Huo Beixiao.

"Aunt, sister-in-law, are you home?"

Just then, someone outside suddenly shouted.

Wu Lanhua quickly got up and went out to reply, "Xiao Ying, when did you get back? Come in quickly, we're just having dinner!"

As Wu Lanhua spoke, she went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

Zhou Xiaoying quickly replied, "Sister-in-law, I've already eaten, don't bother. I chopped up half a duck on my way back and brought it over to you so you can have something to eat..."

As Zhou Xiaoying spoke, she went inside.

Upon entering the house, I was somewhat surprised to see Yang Qiaoqiao and her family inside. "Comrade Yang!"

Guo Jingyun was also a little surprised by Zhou Xiaoying's reaction. "Xiaoying, do you know Qiaoqiao and the others?"

Zhou Xiaoying then recounted how she shared a hospital room with Yang Qiaoqiao when she gave birth.

“Aunt, when you came to visit me, Comrade Yang had just moved to a private ward, so you didn’t see him.”

By the way, didn't my mother-in-law steal someone's gold bracelet at the hospital, which made Zheng Weidong leave in anger? It was stolen from Comrade Yang's house.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Comrade Yang. If it weren't for this incident, Zheng Weidong would not have readily agreed to send my old lady back to the countryside because he felt ashamed!" Zhou Xiaoying said happily.

It had been more than a month since I last saw Zhou Xiaoying. Her cheeks had gotten fuller, her complexion was rosy, and even her eyes were shining.

It's clear that she's been living a much more comfortable life since her mother-in-law passed away.

After hearing Zhou Xiaoying's explanation, Guo Jingyun slapped her thigh excitedly and said, "What a coincidence!"

"Oh, by the way," Zhou Xiaoying said to Wu Lanhua, "Sister-in-law, the boss I told you about before who was looking for workers to tinker with clothes is Comrade Yang!"

Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao did not deliberately hide their family's situation from the Zhou family, but since the Zhou family did not ask in detail, they certainly did not explain in detail what businesses their family owned.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoying's words, Wu Lanhua looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with even greater surprise. "Qiaoqiao is the boss you were talking about?"

Zhou Xiaoying nodded and said to Yang Qiaoqiao, "Comrade Yang, you said last time that you were going to recruit people, are you still recruiting now? My sister-in-law is very skillful, she can even make her own dresses, and they are very beautiful."

"Did you make that yourself, sister-in-law?"

Actually, Yang Qiaoqiao noticed Wu Lanhua's shirt when she entered the room. Although the fabric wasn't very good, it had a great design.

The sleeves are designed with puff sleeves at the cuffs, and the waist is also cinched with a circle of small flowers, which perfectly outlines the waistline. The puff design on the lower half also conveniently conceals the postpartum belly that is difficult to shrink back.

However, she had previously assumed that Wu Lanhua had bought the goods from Guangzhou at some market.

The domestic clothing market has now entered a stage of rapid development, with all kinds of clothing of different grades flowing in from Guangzhou, the port city, and the sea, including many with ingenious designs.

Wu Lanhua was a little embarrassed and said, "This shirt is a white shirt that your older brother bought for me before. It's just that the cuffs are a bit torn and there's a tear in the waist. I saw that the rest of the shirt was fine, and it would be a waste to throw it away, so I sewed it back on myself."

Although she loved to dress up, she also felt that sewing her clothes like this and wearing them out would make her look too improper.

So she only wore these clothes at home.

Yang Qiaoqiao and the others arrived so suddenly that she didn't have time to change.

When Yang Qiaoqiao learned that Wu Lanhua had designed and sewn the dress herself, her eyes filled with surprise and delight. "Sister-in-law, you sewed this dress so well. Did you embroider the flowers on the waist yourself?"

Wu Lanhua's dress is embroidered with trumpet creeper flowers on the waist, and the trumpet creeper flowers are embroidered very lifelike.

Wu Lanhua nodded shyly.

Yang Qiaoqiao was even more pleasantly surprised, "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing! Who did you learn from?"

“I didn’t learn from anyone. I just watched my mother embroider insoles when I was little, and later I started to figure out some patterns myself. I embroidered to pass the time when I had nothing to do,” Wu Lanhua said.

Yang Qiaoqiao stopped beating around the bush and asked Wu Lanhua directly, "Sister-in-law, my shop is currently recruiting tailors who can make clothes and do embroidery. Would you like to work at my shop?"
