"An'an".

Gu An'an turned her head and saw Xiao's parents with smiling faces, and she had some guesses about what was going on.

But one has to put on a show, so she immediately put on a smile and asked, "Uncle and Aunt, what brings you here?"

The two walked into the house, saying as they went, "We've brought you some clothes."

Both of them thought the clothes Gu An'an drew were good-looking, and since Gu An'an was a clothes hanger, every piece looked good on her.

Sure enough, as soon as the first batch of ready-made clothes came out, the two of them couldn't wait to bring Gu An'an to the dock.

Seeing this, Zhou Yue took over the head chef's position and asked Gu An'an to talk to the two of them.

This was the first time Gu An'an had worn clothes she had designed herself. She had thought it would just be a matter of sketching a few lines, but she was still quite happy when she actually put them on.

"Beautiful, exceptionally beautiful."

The more Xiao's mother looked at Gu An'an, the more satisfied she became. Luckily, her son was good-looking; otherwise, how could he be worthy of such a clever and clever girl?

"Try this one."

Gu An'an felt a surge of affection and pride for her child in the eyes of the two people, something she had never experienced before. Touched by their feelings, she was happy to cooperate and tried on all the outfits they had brought.

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! I love dressing up little girls, but I ended up with a rascal. Now I finally have the chance."

Zhou Yue grew up in a privileged environment, yet she was still incredibly envious of the scene before her.

"You're Zhou Zhiqing, right? Come here, this is for you. Go try it on and see if it fits."

Zhou Yue was surprised to find herself in a spot. Although she didn't need any more clothes, she was still happy.

"And mine?"

Xiao's mother nodded, picked up the clothes and handed them over, "Go try them on."

It wasn't that she was being overly generous; it was mainly because she had heard from her brother and sister-in-law about how protective Zhou Yue was of An'an, so one more thing wouldn't make a difference.

Gu An'an tried on all the clothes, and sure enough, every single one looked amazing.

Looking at the two pretty little girls in front of her, Xiao's mother was overjoyed.

The clothes were her size, and Gu An'an didn't say anything about returning them. However, even though Xiao's father owned a garment factory, he still had to pay for all the clothes he brought out. She couldn't possibly accept them for free, so she went back to her room to get the fabric coupons and money.

When Xiao's mother saw what she was holding, she immediately became unhappy. "What are you doing? Take it away right now."

Mr. Xiao added, "You designed all these clothes. I brought a few pieces over so you could see if there were any improvements and what the cost would be."

That was certainly true, but he still paid a token amount, though it was still at cost price since he didn't need cloth coupons.

Since he had said so, Gu An'an didn't insist on paying and smiled as she put the clothes away.

"Then I thank you, Uncle and Aunt."

After saying all that, Xiao's father shared another piece of good news: "Our garment factory can now participate in the Guangzhou Trade Fair."

"real?"

At this moment, Gu An'an felt that the Xiao family's background might not be as simple as she thought. At least Xiao Yuheng's father was not so simple. The Guangzhou Trade Fair was open to foreign countries, and the quotas were carefully considered. It was not something that could be arranged so easily.

However, she didn't ask. The Xiao family's relationship was the Xiao family's. Although she and Xiao Yuheng were dating, they were just dating for now, and she didn't feel that everything in the Xiao family belonged to her.

She'd rather use that time to work harder herself; nothing beats having it herself.

"That's great, then we'll have another companion."

Gu An'an was genuinely happy. Apart from the Zhang family and those few clueless people next door, everyone she met here was very kind and wholeheartedly dedicated to development and the country.

Xiao's father was naturally happy. In the past, the products from the factory had no chance of generating foreign exchange for the country except for taking up a quota, so he hadn't thought about putting in the effort.

But now everything has changed because of this little girl in front of me.

"An'an, there's something else I'd like to ask you for help with."

"If you say so, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

When Xiao Ma heard this, she really wanted to say, "You and Ah Heng should get things done," but she wasn't crazy, so she only thought about it in her heart.

“Our garment factory has had a steady stream of orders over the years, and the number of employees in the factory is not enough to support this event. We need someone to lead the way, and after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable. I just don’t know if you can free up some time?”

"Don't worry, An'an, we're family. We'll never let you work for nothing."

Xiao's mother chimed in, saying that since the matter was settled and the products were ready, the rest was up to the sales team. After all, even the best wine needs advertising, and if they achieved good results this time, they wouldn't need to pull strings to participate again next year.

“Okay, more part-time jobs mean more income. What’s wrong with that?”

Since we're going to go anyway, and it's all in the same venue, it doesn't matter what we sell.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Mr. Xiao smiled even more broadly.

After finishing their business, Gu An'an invited the two to stay for dinner. Xiao's mother had always heard her parents and son say how good Gu An'an's cooking was and had been wanting to try it for a long time, so she immediately agreed.

Originally, there were only two people eating, so Gu An'an only prepared two dishes. Fortunately, the house had everything it needed, so preparing a few more dishes was not a problem at all.

Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish), braised pheasant, stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, stir-fried pork slices, and a tomato and egg soup.

As the aroma grew stronger, Xiao's mother showered her with compliments as if they were free: "No wonder Ah Heng doesn't want to come home for dinner. I wouldn't want to either."

"That's an exaggeration."

"Of course there is! I said there is, so there is."

At the same time, she was also secretly relieved that her son was stubborn and never agreed to any of the women introduced to him. Otherwise, how could he have found such a wonderful future daughter-in-law?

The smell alone was irresistible, let alone the taste. Even Xiao's father ate with great relish, feeling incredibly comfortable.

While everyone in Xiaowang Village was enjoying a peaceful and harmonious time, Xiao Yuheng, who was far away in the army, could only stay in the mountains to carry out his mission.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao, do you think anyone would actually come to this place?"

Xiao Yuheng kept his eyes on the woods in front of him. After returning, he reported the matter. After a careful investigation, they found some clues. The mountain in front of them had recently shown signs of activity.

Logically speaking, this mountain is very remote, and the nearest village is more than 40 kilometers away. Under normal circumstances, people would not come here to play.

Even if there were, it would only be one or two people going up the mountain to look for goods, and they wouldn't leave so many traces of their activities.

They had been staking out the area for three days, but there was still no sign of anything happening.

During a break from lunch, someone couldn't resist gossiping, "Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao, I heard you're dating someone?"
