County Magistrate Yang was not as exaggerated and cautious as Yu Zhen. He only asked about Hood's needs and told him everything.
Huo De said directly: "Someone stole my wife's design draft."
"I heard about this from my son Yang Xiao. As long as we report it to Xiangnan, she will be investigated and punished according to the law immediately."
"Okay." After saying that, Huo De got up and helped his wife make tea.
Xiangnan winked at him: "The county magistrate is here to show his concern for you as well."
"Yeah." Hood said helplessly, but he was used to it.
"They must have been scared when something happened to you during your last mission." No wonder the army's vehicle sent you directly home and brought a military doctor along.
The military doctor even went to the patient's home to see the patient in person.
Huo De said calmly, "I didn't dare tell my superiors about my injured foot, so I kept it a secret in the city."
Otherwise, how could he have such a peaceful time to recuperate? Those people from the province would have arrived earlier and would never have let him recuperate in the countryside of Daxiang Village.
Xiangnan chuckled: "Brother Huo has put in a lot of effort to be with me."
Huo De pinched her face and said, "It's not hard, it's worth it."
Huo De went out with the tea, and County Chief Yang quickly stood up and took the tea with both hands: "How can this be? I still ask you to serve tea."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, he is a junior, so it's only natural for him to make tea. No matter one's status or position, courtesy comes first."
Huo De: "You're welcome, County Magistrate Yang. Please take a seat."
County Chief Yang and Yang Xiao sat for a while, and Yang Xiao talked about the dyeing factory: "I plan to post a notice in front of the county government office to let everyone know. Anyone who is interested can come and invest money."
"That's great. Crowdfunding, and these are original shares. If the dyeing factory makes money, you can make more in the future. Brother Yang, you can invest more in your own name."
"I have no money left. I'll listen to you and buy the storefront in installments."
"That's not much. Li You and my brother will invest again. Don't worry about not getting a return on your investment. Invest boldly. If you lose, it's only a hundred yuan, but if you win, it's a lot of money."
Dyeing factories are profitable these days. In the original book, someone made more than 100,000 yuan a year by running a dyeing factory. There are too few colors of local fabrics, and the cost of importing them from Guangzhou and Shanghai is too high. As long as you can dye good-looking fabrics, it is not difficult to make money.
To gain more with less, everyone who has money should invest. Only investment can drive the economy. Don't even think about development if you don't just save money.
"If I invest again, my wife is already gone. My mother is counting on me to save money for marriage." Yang Xiao said helplessly.
County Magistrate Yang quickly said, "If Xiangnan asks you to vote, then vote. You won't go wrong by following her. I'll talk to your mother about getting married."
Yang Xiao smiled: "Dad, this is what you said. You have to tell Mom to stop nagging me about getting married. When I make a lot of money, I can marry any wife I want."
County Magistrate Yang: "Okay, you're just looking for an excuse not to go on a blind date. I don't know you yet."
County Magistrate Yang now thinks more clearly. Xiangnan married Huo De, the young lady of a wealthy family. There is a future in following her. With a bright future, the horizon will be broadened and the people you meet will be better.
The girls in this county are not bad, but Yang Xiao doesn't like any of them right now. Maybe his destiny has not yet arrived. Anyway, it won't be a bad idea for her to follow Xiang Nan.
There is no rush to get married at this time.
With the assurance from County Magistrate Yang, Yang Xiao felt relieved. Although his mother was in charge of the family, he still had to listen to his father when he really spoke.
Xiangnan sent them out and whispered to Yang Xiao, "You used me to get your dad to not arrange a blind date for you, didn't you? You've got to take care of my little cake shop from now on."
"Of course. I'll treat you and Captain Huo to dinner tonight."
"Forget it. Save some money and invest in the dyeing factory. I'm planning to cook at home tonight and go buy everything later. Eating at state-owned restaurants all the time is not a good idea."
Most importantly, she was tired of eating here, and she wanted to make some fresh dishes herself and prepare a menu for the newly opened private restaurant.
Hodder is very knowledgeable, so it would be best to let him try the menu.
"Then I have to come and eat."
"Come here if you're not afraid of my husband's cold eyes." Xiangnan spread his hands.
Let’s see if Yang Xiao can withstand Hood’s pressure first.
Yang Xiao touched his nose and said, "Your husband really has the aura of a king. I'll practice more and come to eat when I have the strength of a diamond iron arm."
Yang Xiao was not the only one who said this. Ever since Huo De's foot healed and he went out to eat with everyone, only the three little kids were not afraid of him. Li Mo and the others didn't dare to breathe, eat too fast, or make any smacking sounds.
Fortunately, they had been eating with Xiangnan for so long that they had long known that Xiangnan didn't make much noise when eating, and they had learned a lot from him.
Otherwise, I might cry while eating a meal.
Although the three little kids were not afraid of Hood, they ate very politely.
Xiangnan felt that this was neither a good thing nor a very good thing. Everyone could be polite, and the three little ones had learned something, but they were a family after all, and it was too heartless to eat so stiffly.
Xiangnan often relieves his emotions during meals. They talk more and discuss many things during meals, which helps them relax.
It would be strange if Yang Xiao dared to come and get free food. Everyone was very silent during the barbecue last night.
Actually, Hood is just not talkative. In addition, he has been in the army for a long time, so he has become very righteous. And because he is the commander of a regiment, his aura is even greater.
After Yang Xiao left, Xiangnan took Huo De to the department store and bought a sewing machine, a washing machine, and a coal stove. They also went to a small department store to buy pots and pans. They would cook there from then on.
It took a whole day to pack these things up. During this time, a friend of Zhu Hua brought two friends to buy clothes. Xiang Nan helped them choose some and then said apologetically, "There aren't many clothes left. These clothes don't fit. I'll go to the train station to pick up the clothes tomorrow. Can you come back later?"
She still hopes to achieve the best effect. Although some clothes can produce good results when worn by them, they can only be 80 points at most, which she is not willing to do.
"Xiangnan, I heard that the clothes you design are very beautiful. Can you show us some of them? Even though we may not be able to afford them, we can still enjoy the sight."
"Sure, Aunt Jiang, I'll show you the design drawings." Xiangnan quickly took the design drawings down from upstairs. "That's all I have. Take your time looking at them. If there's a design you like but don't understand, I can explain it to you."
Aunt Jiang and her friend started to like Xiangnan's designs as soon as they opened the first page. They are a combination of current aesthetics and future fashions, which makes people amazed at first sight.
"It's so beautiful. I've never worn anything like this before. The design of this skirt is so beautiful. Xiangnan, this must be very expensive."
"The cost is indeed not low, mainly because the dyeing of these fabrics is expensive, and my design fee is also included."
"You give me a price to make me give up."
"If you don't need me to make the clothes, it's one hundred per piece. I'll tell you the pattern and give you the fabric."
"Can you give me less?" asked a not-so-old beauty. She really liked one of the items. It was so beautiful that she was obsessed with it. She wanted to buy it even if she had to grit her teeth.
"It really can't be less. The design fee is included, and these are all fabrics that I dyed by hand. The fabric alone costs dozens of dollars."
