Chapter 265: It seems like a lifetime ago
Today, his daughter and son-in-law came back. Meng Fude was very happy and took Gu Hansong to drink some wine.
Meng Shulan left the table early and went to the room to talk with Meng Changli, and took out the things she bought from South City.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Meng Shulan missed everyone and brought things for everyone. She didn’t buy any clothes, but leather shoes, bags, skin care products and so on.
"This facial oil is very useful. We'll give each of us a set, and I'll give it to my sister-in-law when she comes over later."
This year Meng Chenggong and his family are coming back to celebrate the New Year.
Meng Changli nodded, helped to divide the things, and said to her sister: "By the way, I have decided on the university you mentioned before. I will go there with you at the beginning of the New Year."
Meng Shulan looked at her sister in surprise, "Have you decided so quickly?"
My sister wanted to study fine arts and go to university for further studies. She had had this idea before, and Meng Shulan had always supported her.
This time when she went to the south city, Meng Shulan found an opportunity to inquire about art schools. Her sister couldn't get into the ordinary art classes that require college entrance examinations, and adult colleges have not been opened yet. However, some training studios targeting college entrance examinations have begun to emerge in the past two years.
These studios are mainly aimed at college entrance examination students majoring in fine arts, and basically they start from scratch, which is quite suitable for my sister.
Learning never ends. You can start by getting started and then gradually go deeper.
Anyway, you don’t have to worry about finding a job and you don’t need a diploma. As long as you have time, you can go and study. It’s just a matter of tuition.
When adult colleges emerge in a few years, I can still experience campus life.
Meng Changli nodded and told her sister about her current business affairs.
In the afternoon at the wholesale department, the employees saw only a steady stream of orders from the factory and a thriving business.
But beneath these appearances, undercurrents have actually begun to surge.
Take the two newly opened garment factories in the city for example, they have been getting samples and materials from the coastal areas since the very beginning of their business. Their starting point is very high, and the only difference between them now is the styles.
In the past six months, Meng Changli has received books and magazines sent to her by her sister from South City every month. In addition, she is very sensitive in this area, so she can always grasp the direction and make the most popular styles.
But this gap is only temporary. If one day she finds a great designer or gains more experience, she might surpass her.
Meng Changli has been going smoothly since she started her business, but she is not arrogant and has a strong sense of preparedness for danger.
Because business is the salvation of her life and the only way she can think of at the moment.
Meng Changli didn't want to fail on this road, so she could only do her best.
"I have currently arranged a two-month period, which will allow me to go and look at the fabrics more often and learn more about the situation there."
Meng Changli also goes to South City to look at fabrics now, but she only goes there when the season changes. Once the material is decided, she will go in that direction for the entire season.
Meng Shulan hugged her sister and said, "I support you."
Meng Changli smiled, patted her sister's back and said, "Thank you for your concern."
In addition to this study, she also wanted to thank her sister for her suggestions and encouragement. If it weren't for her sister, she, a rural woman who hadn't even graduated from junior high school, would never have thought of these ways to make money.
Think about it, she took care of her children, served her parents-in-law, and worked on the few acres of land at home. She was embarrassed when she first came to the city, and was overjoyed when she earned a few dozen yuan. When she divorced, her sister gave her the courage and determination...
These things clearly happened just last year, but it seemed like a long, long time had passed, so long that it seemed like a lifetime ago.
After chatting with her sister in the room, Meng Changli went to the main room to chat with Gu Hansong.
This is a rare opportunity, and she wants the boss to help her with the future development direction of the factory.
That night, Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong did not return to the village, but rested in the yard.
The next day, Meng Shulan was still having breakfast when Hu Bifang came.
It has been almost half a year since we last met. Hu Bifang has cut her hair. She used to have braids, but now she has a student-style hairstyle. She has also become a little greyer. She is wearing the factory's best-selling winter skirt, paired with the leather boots that Zhou Yan brought back for her from South City. She looks quite fashionable.
Hu Bifang was very happy to see Meng Shulan, and she started chatting with her about their studies and life in college.
Hu Bifang attended a technical college in this city, so she had nothing to say. However, after hearing about Meng Shulan's story in South City, she was very envious.
"By the way, there will be a class reunion tomorrow at the Yingying Restaurant in town. You can come too."
Yingying Restaurant was opened by the couple who used to sell steamed buns and steamed buns. It didn't have a name before, but when Meng Shulan came back this time, she saw a sign hanging above the door of the store.
Class reunion.
To be honest, Meng Shulan had no interest in it. She had participated in it in her previous life and it was boring.
Meng Shulan: "Who organized it? Who were they?"
Hu Bifang told her that this activity was initiated by Zou Shaojun, and those who were notified were the twenty or so people who were admitted to the university.
Those who passed the preliminary exam that year were combined into one class. Although they did not study together for a long time, those who passed the exam left their contact information with each other. Although not everyone communicates with each other, now that it is vacation time, when they meet in town, they will say hello and chat about study and life.
It was in this situation that squad leader Zou Shaojun organized a dinner party and asked everyone to notify each other and get together.
Hearing that only those who passed the exam were having a dinner together, Meng Shulan nodded and decided to go and take a look as well.
After agreeing on a time and chatting with Hu Bifang for a while, Meng Fude drove the car and the family returned to the village.
The house at the Gu family's side is now empty, so when Gu Hansong came back this time, he stayed at the Meng family's side.
Anyway, the two families are already engaged, so it’s okay for him to spend the New Year here.
When the villagers saw them coming back, they came over to ask for candy and to see the most promising young couple in the village.
After lunch, Gu Hansong pushed out his bicycle and took Meng Shulan to his aunt's house in the next village.
He hadn't seen her for almost half a year and wanted to go visit her and give her the gifts that Grandma Wu and Gu Zhongyuan bought for her.
Gu Cui'er was delighted to see the two of them, and her eyes became red again when she asked about their old mother and brother's life over there.
In the past, when everyone was in the village, she could go over to help and visit her old mother from time to time. But now that they have moved so far away, she can no longer show her filial piety.
But my nephew has become successful and is busy with business in South City. The house is in such a bad state that we need someone to take care of everything, so we have to move there.
Originally, Gu Hansong planned to deliver the gifts and then sit for a while and leave, but Gu Cui'er held the two of them and refused to let them go until they had dinner.
The next day, Meng Shulan was going to attend a class reunion.
Gu Hansong went to town with her and just waited at the factory.
When the time was almost up, Hu Bifang came specifically to pick up Meng Shulan.
Originally, Gu Han wanted to give it as a gift, but now there is no need.
Before leaving, Gu Hansong said to her: "I'll pick you up later."
Meng Shulan nodded, "About one o'clock."
"good."
