Chapter 398 Are You My Mother?
Although the kids were acting mysteriously as if they were doing something big, Lin Xia didn't take it too seriously, mainly because An An and Da Jun were there.
Da Jun is sixteen years old and will take the college entrance examination next year. He has grown to over 1.7 meters in the past two years, which is considered half an adult in this era.
An An became a high school student when school started at the age of fourteen. She would tell Lin Xia everything that happened on a daily basis, and the two of them got along more than just as mother and daughter, but more like best friends. Lin Xia never thought that An An would hide anything.
Although an order was placed with Gao Zhixin, it was definitely impossible to support the store with just that little bit of money.
After that, Lin Xia took Yang Hongmei to visit clothing factories in Guangcheng. Since Guangcheng became a frontier of reform and opening up, many clothing factories have emerged in Guangcheng.
As the city closest to Hong Kong Island, Guangzhou is always the first to be affected. Those novel clothes always become popular in Guangzhou first and then spread to the whole country.
No matter how much they are criticized for wearing strange clothes, it cannot stop young people from pursuing individuality and freedom of dress, and the most fashionable clothes from the other side of the strait have begun to emerge all over the country.
People in Guangzhou were the first to sense this trend and, following the pace of the times, began to make changes first, not to mention those successful garment factories with booming orders; how could they not attract attention?
Although they may not be the first to try something new, that does not stop them from sharing the spoils. The inland is large enough and the market is broad enough, so orders for trendy clothing are in short supply, and thus clothing factories of all sizes have emerged.
These are the factories that Lin Xia is going to visit now. They are not restricted by the size of the order, are flexible and can deliver quickly.
The state-owned factories in the inland areas still maintain the most outdated ideas, not only the garment factories but also the textile factories. People's thinking is still stuck at the stage of "iron rice bowl" and they can't imagine what Guangzhou has developed into.
Lin Xia heard from Wu Fangfang that the factory's business seemed to be good, but the backlog of inventory was increasing, but no one felt a sense of crisis at all.
If Lin Jianjun hadn't brought back a lot of popular clothes from Guangzhou, she wouldn't have noticed the change.
Compared with the clothes in the department store, the clothes Lin Jianjun brought back had better-looking fabrics and more novel styles.
Lin Jianjun was suspended from his job as soon as he returned from Guangcheng this time. He originally wanted to resign directly, but was stopped by Lin's father. In the end, all parties gave in and suspended him without pay.
In Lin's father's opinion, opening a shop and doing business is not the right way at all. Giving up a good "iron rice bowl" is simply nonsense.
But Lin Jianjun has witnessed the rapid development of Guangzhou. Now Beijing is still a blank. This is the best time for opportunity. How could he be willing to stay in a boring factory?
It was not until the news of Lin Xia opening a store in Guangcheng spread that Lin's father was willing to take a step back.
With the vision of later generations, Lin Xia carefully selected many styles, including not only clothes, but also various small decorations, such as backpacks, earrings, scarves and the like.
Lin Xia also discovered that there were many cosmetics available. She had been using vanishing cream before, which was fine in winter but a bit sticky in summer.
She also has a lot of skin care recipes, but unfortunately she doesn't have the financial resources to open a factory now.
With the idea of researching the market in advance, Lin Xia purchased a large number of skin care products and cosmetics.
"Sister-in-law, take this stuff back and try it out and see which one works better compared to the vanishing cream." Lin Xia handed the things in her hand to Yang Hongmei. She bought too much and she couldn't use it all by herself.
"This is for facial cleansing. You've used lipstick before, so you'll be able to use this eyebrow pencil if you practice more." Lin Xia handed all the things in her hand to Yang Hongmei.
Yang Hongmei was stunned. She thought Lin Xia was going to sell it in bulk, but she didn't expect that she would give it to her immediately. "How can this be so embarrassing? Can't you sell this?"
Lin Xia smiled when she heard this: "Sell it!"
Lin Xia instantly thought of a styling shop, which not only provides personalized clothing, but also provides styling services to customers. Such a shop can meet customers' needs for fashion, personalization and self-confidence, and help customers find the style and image that best suits them.
In this era when everyone is seeking fashion and personality changes, Lin Xia feels that the emergence of a store like this is just a timely relief for those who want change.
Lin Xia opened a set of cosmetics on the spot and wanted to try it on herself first.
Putting makeup on herself again, Lin Xia felt as if it was a thing of her previous life. Although she hadn't used these tools for a long time, they were engraved in her memory and she hadn't forgotten them instinctively. Lin Xia familiarized herself with the technique and then began to apply it on her face.
Thinking about the impact of the fashion trend on the coastal areas, Lin Xia gave herself the most popular Hong Kong style makeup. She outlined her brows with a few strokes. Her thick eyelashes were already curled enough. Lin Xia used eye shadow to draw an eyeliner, and her eyes suddenly looked full of spirit.
Then came the brown eye shadow, which outlined the gentleness and softness at the end of the eyes, and finally the bright red lips. The whole makeup was completed, and Lin Xia's already delicate face instantly became more intense.
Lin Xia looked at herself in the mirror, frowned slightly, and felt something was wrong.
"!"
Yang Hongmei was stunned to see that Lin Xia had changed completely from his usual self in just a few moves.
Lin Xia looked around and untied the fishbone braid that was worn for convenience. Her hair, which had been tied up all day, was slightly bent after being let down. Although it was not permed, the curve was still beautiful.
Lin Xia reached out to smooth her hair, then tossed it aside, revealing her fair and slender neck. She instantly looked like a Hong Kong beauty who had walked out of the TV.
Yeah! This is the right feeling!
Lin Xia nodded in satisfaction, stood up and picked out another set of clothes: a white shirt, a red skirt, retro earrings and bracelets on her ears, and sunglasses on her head.
Lin Xia turned around in front of Yang Hongmei, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "How is it?"
Yang Hongmei was already stunned, her brain was unable to process what was happening, and her language system was restarting.
"......"
"Mother?"
Before Yang Hongmei could reply, a crisp voice came from the door. Lin Xia turned around and saw a few little kids standing at the door in a daze.
Only when they saw Lin Xia's face did they come to their senses. An An and the other girls immediately rushed over and screamed in surprise.
"Mom, you look so good!"
"Mom, are you my mom?" Ningning cried, staring at Lin Xia with shining eyes, wanting to touch her with her little hands but not daring to.
Lin Xia was at a loss for words when asked by the little girl, but the girls' reactions made her very happy.
With this joy, her already beautiful and charming face became even more radiant when she smiled.
Lin Xia didn't hear her son's voice. When she looked over, she saw three stunned young men.
