A cold wind blew in, and the kerosene lamp inside the glass shade swayed slightly.
Luo Xiujuan turned to the man who was half a head taller than her, looked into his hopeful eyes, and after a moment of silence, suddenly gave a faint, indifferent smile.
What are you thinking about?
She said.
"You must have hurt your head. You're from the city, and this is your first time here. How could we possibly know each other?"
The light in Xun Xiangbin's eyes suddenly went out.
He involuntarily took two steps back, still not quite believing it, and stared helplessly at Luo Xiujuan.
Luo Xiujuan stepped nimbly across the threshold, and as she turned to close the door behind her, she casually reminded him, "Go to sleep early, the barefoot doctor will be coming to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
As she turned to leave, Luo Xiujuan felt a lump in her throat, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
There was a noise coming from the west room, it sounded like the old lady calling for someone. Luo Xiujuan quickly wiped away her tears, sniffed, and pretended to be nonchalant as she answered loudly. She then hurriedly lifted the cotton curtain and went into the room.
Inside the main room.
Despite being rejected, Xun Xiangbin remained standing there, holding his kerosene lamp, looking utterly dejected.
For some reason, he always felt a bit down.
He felt an inexplicable familiarity with Luo Xiujuan, who took care of him day and night, which made him feel at ease and made him want to rely on her.
But Luo Xiujuan said...they didn't know each other.
...
With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, Ye Yun began preparing for the holiday.
There are also things for postpartum care.
Her due date was around the seventh day of the first lunar month. She and Qin Zheng got married in the fourth lunar month. She got pregnant after only one menstrual period. Since her belly wasn't too big yet, she tried her best to buy everything she could so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable during her postpartum period.
In her past life, she had never given birth and was not quite sure what she needed to prepare.
She could only rely on the experiences of those around her who had given birth to acquire the things she needed, such as soft pajamas that allowed her to breastfeed without having to lift her clothes.
Nowadays, there are very few styles of clothing, let alone special nursing clothes. Most mothers just lift up their tops and feed their babies directly, without caring about whether it looks good or not.
But she had seen the perspective of future generations and drew a picture from memory of a nightgown with overlapping sides and a slit for breastfeeding.
The blueprints were drawn up, and Liu Wan was asked to make two sets.
When Liu Wan saw her drawings, her eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed that this was a great business opportunity!
"Ye Yun! You're absolutely amazing! How did you come up with this idea? Once these pajamas are made, they're sure to be a huge hit!"
Ye Yun twitched her lips.
Since Chen Zhenxing left the business world, Liu Wansheng became the factory manager of Baiyun Garment Factory, and her vision has become increasingly business-oriented.
It won't be long before she goes into the adult entertainment industry.
“In today’s society, almost no one pays attention to mothers’ privacy. Everyone seems to be used to mothers being forced to lift their clothes in public to feed their children because of their crying. No one cares whether they feel ashamed. But this dress solves this problem perfectly.” Liu Wan touched the design drawing on the paper, her eyes shining.
Ye Yun nodded.
She drew this design to avoid some embarrassment when breastfeeding in the future.
At least on the day she was in postpartum confinement, when the baby cried for milk, she didn't have to be forced to lift her clothes and expose her body to others in public like other women.
Are you planning to mass-produce this?
"Yes, do you want to take it?"
"Um..." Liu Wan looked at the drawing for a long time with great interest, but in the end, she put the drawing in front of her. "No, this style will be a hit. Baiyun Garment Factory's profits are quite stable now. It doesn't need any new styles to save the day. Giving such a good idea to Baiyun Garment Factory would be a loss. Let your garment factory do it."
Baiyun Garment Factory is a state-owned enterprise.
Although Ye Yun also owns shares, the profits are still distributed to the government.
Lantian Garment Factory belongs to Ye Yun, and all the money earned goes into Ye Yun's pocket.
"Wait here, I'll go back and make the pattern right away, and I'll make two for you myself." Liu Wan grabbed the pattern and left the pastry shop in a hurry.
Ye Yun watched her leave.
As Liu Wan's figure on her old bicycle receded further and further into the distance, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, took a sip of tea, and picked up the paper and pen beside her to draw several different designs based on her previous idea.
After that, she called Bing Ge and asked him to take the blueprints back to the factory and secretly make a prototype.
Time seemed to have pressed the button for a peaceful and tranquil life. The garment factory was thriving, and the pastry shop was also booming. Taking advantage of this time, Ye Yun went to the city and bought a shop, preparing to open her third branch.
The renovations will be completed before the new year, and the business can open after the new year.
The shop gradually stocked more and more goods. Ye Yun developed pastries that could be stored for a long time and also made some handmade candies, which attracted many people to buy them as gifts for the New Year.
Tian Xiaohui became even busier.
Not only do they have to serve students who come to do their homework after school, but they also have to work through the night to make pastries and handmade candies for customers who have ordered them, so they can't get much sleep.
Fortunately, there is still Xing Yujie.
It seems that Old Wu gave Xing Yujie a day off, which allowed him to have free time every day to help Tian Xiaohui. Sometimes, when he was too busy, he would sleep in Gu Jin's room.
Gu Jin hasn't been going back to the shop much lately.
It's said that with the end of the year approaching, a wave of blind dates has swept through the city, and Gu Jin is being dragged around to blind dates by her father and mother.
Gu Jin is quite a good catch.
He comes from a prominent family with only one younger sister. His parents are young, one is a businessman and the other works for the government, and the family is wealthy.
