"Well, it's all taken care of."
While no one was paying attention, Xie Yunjiao secretly pulled Gu Huai's hand.
Gu Huai felt a warmth in his hands. He looked down at his and Xie Yunjiao's hands, and couldn't help but smile shyly.
"Thank you for helping me build such a beautiful counter." Xie Yunjiao said.
Her design is not complicated, but labor costs are high nowadays, and it would cost a lot of money to hire someone outside to make these cabinets.
But now the wood for their cabinets was cut down by Gu Huai from the mountains and transported to the town bit by bit. The cabinets were also made bit by bit in his backyard according to her design.
This saved her a lot of money!
"Silly girl, why are you saying that? You've worked so hard for our entire family." Gu Huai touched Xie Yunjiao's head.
Xie Yunjiao leaned gently on Gu Huai, her eyes slightly narrowed, a smile on her face, looking very happy.
"Mother..."
Doudou brought a bowl of ginger water and wanted to give it to Xie Yunjiao, but was stopped by Ye Baien.
"Grandpa Ye, why are you pulling me? I want to give some ginger water to my mother. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Doudou turned her head and looked at Ye Baien with some grievance.
"Your father and mother are busy." Ye Baien said with a dark face, pulling Doudou back as he spoke.
"No, Daddy and Mommy are not busy." Doudou said seriously.
He clearly saw that his father and mother were chatting and were not busy at all.
"Silly child, I'm busy if I say so." Ye Baien said unhappily.
How could this kid be so clueless? If he interferes with a couple's love, he'll be struck by lightning, okay?!
"No!"
"Master, Doudou, what are you doing?" Xie Yun's face turned slightly red, and there was an embarrassed look in her eyes.
She heard the conversation between Ye Baien and Doudou just now. Really, she thought no one was paying attention so she secretly got intimate with Gu Huai.
Unexpectedly, her every move was under everyone's watch!
Although she is quite thick-skinned, she doesn't mind this little action being seen by others.
But she was afraid that it would have a bad influence on the child. Yes, it would have a bad influence on the child!
"Ms. Xie, you made this pair of cabinets and shelves. What are you planning to sell?" Master Zhao asked curiously.
When he learned that Xie Yunjiao was going to open a shop next to his Lanxinfang, he was very happy and helped a lot.
But the store was about to open, and he still didn't know what Xie Yunjiao wanted to buy.
I need to sell something and fill a whole wall of cabinets!
Moreover, the inner courtyard was also quite strange. There were many things he had never seen before, as well as many strange tools.
"I want to sell cosmetics, which means rouge and powder, but it's different from the rouge and powder shops nowadays."
"So this is what you sell. It seems that even I, old man, can't patronize your business anymore." Master Zhao said with a smile.
"You can buy it for your wife, but you don't have to buy it. I can just give her one when the time comes."
"She is already in her forties. Why does she need to use this kind of thing?" Master Zhao waved his hand and said with some disgust.
In his opinion, rouge and powder are things that young girls use. For someone like his wife who has wrinkles on her face, it would be useless to apply them. It would be better to save some money and buy something more valuable.
"You're wrong to think like that. No matter how old you are, who doesn't want to live a refined life if they have the conditions?
No one wants to be laughed at when they meet people with unkempt hair and dirty faces."
What Xie Yunjiao said was indeed true. Even though the old woman in their family didn't apply anything on her face, when she was in good health, she would always pick out some clean and nice clothes to wear before going out.
If you have the conditions, who doesn’t want to live a refined life?
"When your store opens, I will buy a set for you," said Master Zhao.
The store is not big, only a little bigger than a tofu store. The backyard is used by Xie Yunjiao as a studio for developing cosmetics. Apart from a small room for cooking and a simple lounge, it is not suitable for living at all.
So after finishing everything, they went back home.
However, in order to make it easier for them to work and take care of their child, Xie Yunjiao found a Montessori school in the town and enrolled Doudou in school. The tuition was more expensive than in the village, but the child was close to where they worked, so she felt much more at ease.
If something happens to the child, she will be able to take care of him/her immediately.
After cleaning and putting the products on the shelves, Xie Yunjiao's cosmetics store Qinyuanfang officially opened.
She had sent carefully crafted invitations to all the young ladies in the town, and on each invitation was a bottle of jasmine hydrosol she made. These jasmine flowers were given to her by Zhong Huaishuang as a return gift.
She didn't have the time or money to take care of such beautiful jasmine flowers in the middle of winter, so she picked the blooming flowers and made them into hydrosol.
She gave a large bottle to Zhong Huaishuang, who liked it very much and used it almost every day.
She thought that with the blessing of the pure dew, and that she had struck while the iron was hot and opened a cosmetics store before the surprise of doing makeup for Zhong Huaishuang and Hai Jing had faded, the store would be packed with customers on the opening day. However, it had been half an hour since the store opened, and she was just standing in front of the door in a daze.
"Miss Xie, this is how business works. You just opened a store, and customers don't know you opened a store here yet. Customers will come later." Xiao Zhao said with a dry laugh.
Seeing Xie Yunjiao's lack of reaction, Xiao Zhao said again, "There's an old saying that goes, 'Good wine needs no bush.'"
"Good wine needs no bush." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Yes, yes, that's it. I haven't read much and I can't speak." Xiao Zhao said hurriedly.
He was really embarrassed to say that although the shop rent here was cheap, the location was remote and few people came here normally.
They had no choice but to open a jewelry store here, and business has always been average.
If it weren’t for Xie Yunjiao’s help, I’m afraid their business would have been gone!
"But I've already sent out all the invitations. Logically, they should know that my store is open."
She felt that something must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
She was about to go out to see what was going on when she suddenly saw someone walking towards her.
"Sister Yunjiao." Hai Jing greeted Xie Yunjiao warmly.
Xie Yunjiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw someone coming. She smiled and went to greet them, "Sister Hai Jing, I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long, and finally you've arrived."
Hai Jing glanced at the empty shop and said angrily, "Then Lai Yinfang is shameless!"
Lai Yinfang? Why is it related to Lai Yinfang again?
Seeing Xie Yunjiao's confused face, Hai Jing knew that Xie Yunjiao still didn't understand what was going on.
"Lai Yinfang had an accident at your hands before, and she holds a grudge against you, so she chose the day your new store opened to invite everyone to her house for a gathering.
Everyone had to go for her sake." Hai Jing snorted coldly, "But I'm not what she wants, so I came to find you."
