Chapter 437: Finding a OEM
Lin Siyu's appearance did have some impact on the children, but these impacts disappeared after they ate the delicious fried chicken.
Lin Siyu left the military family compound in dejection, but did not go home. Instead, she went to the barracks.
She wandered around the camp for a long time before she stopped a soldier who was coming out and asked, "Hello, comrade. I'd like to ask if Deputy Regimental Commander Gu Huai of your army is here?"
The man glanced her up and down, frowned, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you asking about Deputy Captain Gu?"
"I-I'm a friend of his."
Lin Siyu knew that her reputation as Gu Huai's ex-wife might not be very good in the army, so she didn't dare to say that she was Gu Huai's ex-wife, for fear that once she said it, no one would pay attention to her.
"Friends?" The man stared at her again. "I've never heard of Deputy Captain Gu having any female friends."
Lin Siyu: "We're just ordinary friends anyway, so just tell me if he's here or not?"
"Not here." The soldier said and left.
Lin Siyu didn’t know whether what the other party said was true or false, but she still went back.
"How was it? Did you see Gu Huai?" Qin Shulan asked hurriedly when she saw her daughter coming back so early.
Lin Siyu shook her head somewhat dejectedly.
"Where are those children?" Qin Shulan asked with a frown.
Lin Siyu: "I did see them, but they still didn't acknowledge me like before. It made me feel so embarrassed in front of those military families."
Qin Shulan snorted, "I told you to be nicer to the kids and get closer to them before, but you didn't listen. Now look, you don't even acknowledge me."
Lin Siyu was annoyed by what she heard. She knew that she shouldn't have treated the child like that before, but things had already turned out like this. What was the point of repeating it over and over again?
"Can you please stop talking!"
Qin Shulan said with a straight face, "I told you that you're still annoying. If you had listened to me a little, you wouldn't be in this situation today."
Lin Siyu covered her ears with her hands, she was really annoyed.
Qin Shulan was angry when she saw her like this, so she turned around and went into the room and ignored her.
After lunch, Yu Hui took the children into the city, met up with Bai Chunhua, and went to the cinema together.
There were a lot of people in the cinema today. Fortunately, Yu Hui bought tickets in advance, otherwise she would not be able to buy tickets if she came to buy them in the afternoon.
It was the first time for Zheng Rong and Gu Qiuyu to go to the cinema. They found it very interesting, especially Gu Qiuyu, who was even more excited than the other children who came to watch the movie.
The movie shown on Children's Day was "The Newsboy", which tells the story of how newspaper staff and newsboys fought resolutely against the reactionaries and exposed the truth of the Southern Anhui Incident during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
It was a very meaningful movie. The children watched it with great interest and kept talking about the movie on the way to the park.
In the park, Yu Hui took the children rowing a boat and played until half past five. Then she went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner and then rode her bicycle to take the children home.
In the evening, the two brothers Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin came over to watch TV. When they heard Gu Dong and the others say that they had watched a movie and taken a boat ride in the park, they were very envious.
"Oh, I really envy you guys for being able to go out and play on Children's Day. My brother and I spent the whole day helping out at a noodle shop on Children's Day." Yu Lixin complained with a pout.
Today is Children's Day, and there are quite a lot of people coming to the store to eat noodles. They all go to help at noon and in the evening.
"Look, my hands are swollen from washing dishes." Yu Lixin stretched out his hands to show Gu Dong and the others.
Gu Xixi: "It's bloated."
Yu Hui touched Yu Lixin's head and said, "You guys are great. You're all helping your mother on Children's Day."
Hearing the compliment, Yu Lixin felt better and asked Gu Dong to tell him what the movie they watched in the afternoon was about.
After playing at Gu's house until around eight o'clock, Qian Lan from next door called Yu Lixin and his brother to go home.
The next day was Tuesday, and I went to school and work as usual.
Yu Hui and Bai Chunhua were looking after the store in the front, while Gu Qiuyu went to the back to make clothes. It was summer and skirts were easier to buy. Some people were buying in bulk, more than ten pieces. They could hardly make enough to keep up with the sales.
There are basically only one or two pieces of each style in the store, and the sizes are not all available.
When there are few people in the front, Yu Hui and Bai Chunhua will go to the back to make clothes.
"Why isn't this style available in medium sizes yet? Boss Yu, why don't you hire more people to make clothes? Last time I came, this style was sold out. This time, it's available, but my size isn't available. I made two trips in vain."
The young female customer frowned and complained.
"I'm sorry for giving you a bad shopping experience. Please take a look and see if there are other styles you like. I'll give you a 10% discount." Yu Hui felt guilty for always making customers make wasted trips.
But she had no choice. She simply couldn't make enough clothes. The three sisters, Bai Chunhua, who lived in the city, would work two extra hours after work every day, but it still wasn't enough.
"Never mind. I just like this style. They're new in stock. Please make sure you save a size medium for me."
"OK."
Yu Hui sent the customer who had come twice in vain to the door with an apologetic look on her face. She turned around and looked at the few clothes in the store, frowning with some worry.
Although they can’t make enough clothes now, they really can’t hire any more people in their store.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to add more, nor that she can’t afford it, but because of some policy reasons.
Suddenly, Yu Hui's eyes lit up and she snapped her fingers.
Although the store can't hire any more people, she can find someone to do the work for her!
There are so many unemployed military dependents in the military dependents' home. She can just give the tailored clothes to military dependents who have sewing machines at home to make them for her.
This would not violate policy, they could still supply clothes to their clothing store, and it would also allow unemployed military dependents to earn money, which would be a win-win situation.
After getting off work and having dinner, Yu Hui went to see Xu Qin, the current women's director.
Xu Qin is the wife of Captain Bai, who replaced Captain Zhou. She was a little surprised to see Yu Hui coming.
"Xiao Yu, why are you here? Please come in." Xu Qin invited Yu Hui into the house.
Captain Bai was drinking tea at home. When he saw Yu Hui coming, his expression froze for a moment and he looked a little nervous.
This Yu Hui wasn't familiar with his lover, so why did she suddenly come to their house? Could it be...
"Captain Bai." Yu Hui greeted with a smile.
Captain Bai: "Xiao Yu is here, come and sit down, come and sit down."
Yu Hui sat down and Xu Qin poured her a cup of boiled water.
"Xiao Yu, drink some water."
"Thank you, Sister Xu."
Xu Qin sat down next to Captain Bai, looked at Yu Hui and asked, "Xiao Yu, is there something you need today?"
Yu Hui took a sip of water and said with a smile, "I really have something to ask you, Sister Xu."
Xu Qin: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Yu Hui: "I've really run into some difficulties, and I'd like to ask Sister Xu for help."
"Just tell me, I will definitely help you if I can."
Xiao Gu is not at home because he is on a mission. Yu Hui is having difficulties at home with her children. As the director of the women's department, she will definitely do her best to help her.
