Chapter 277 Why should I compete with her?
Some women love to tidy their homes, and Wang Yueju is one of them. Before she had the means, she kept her home spotless. Later, when she had the means, she thought about how to make her home beautiful and comfortable.
The family planned to move to Kyoto, but even before they moved in, Comrade Wang Yueju couldn't wait to start packing.
Although the courtyard had been renovated before, soft furnishings like curtains, tablecloths, and bedding had not been purchased. Comrade Wang Yueju is now starting to bring these things into the house.
When Gu Siqing heard her talking about bed sheets and quilt covers, she suddenly felt that it was much easier for her mother to make bedding than clothes. Moreover, the demand for bedding was not low.
It’s not easy to start a clothing brand these days because hiring fashion designers is so difficult. The college entrance exam was only just reinstated a few years ago, and fashion design wasn’t a mainstream major, so there were very few domestic fashion designers.
Nowadays, domestic clothing styles are generally imitated from foreign or Hong Kong styles.
But bedding is different. There is no particular style to speak of, the main thing is the fabric, pattern and material. And if it is established as a brand, it can also be high-end.
Thinking of this, she said to the tailor, "Can you make it so that the sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases are all made of the same fabric?"
The tailor frowned and said, "Of course it can be done, but I've never done it before."
"Let's do this." Gu Siqing pulled Wang Yueju over, "Mom, let's go choose some fabric. I promise it will turn out great."
Wang Yueju knew that this little girl had a lot of creative ideas, and her ideas were very effective. For example, after listening to her opinions on the decoration of the house, it was indeed beautiful and practical.
"Okay, let's give it a try," she said.
Seeing this, Gu Yimin followed them to choose fabric. The shop had quite a variety of fabric styles, and the three of them chose the patterns they liked. Then Gu Siqing explained what they wanted it to look like. A four-piece suit was easy to make, and the tailor immediately understood and said it would look good this way.
When they got home, Gu Jianguo, Gu Erhui, and Zhang Zijun were also there. Wang Yueju took out a watermelon and cut it up. The family sat in the main room, eating and chatting.
Gu Jianguo and Gu Erhui talked about the results of their market investigation today.
Kyoto is different from Kurishu. First, Kyoto already has a large supermarket that's doing very well. It's been open for over a year and has basically established customer habits, which is a good thing for them.
Moreover, Kyoto has many factories and its private economy is also well developed. Generally speaking, the consumption level of Kyoto people is higher than that of Kurishu.
Based on the above two points, it is completely possible to open a small supermarket in Kyoto.
However, we still need to research customer spending habits to determine what products to sell and how to price them. Of course, the most important thing is the location. This requires further research and a thorough tour of Kyoto before we can make a decision.
Gu Jianguo's idea was to open three stores simultaneously, demonstrating that they weren't just making a small splash and giving customers more confidence. Gu Siqing and the others thought this was a perfectly acceptable idea, but it would require a lot of preparation.
However, they now have some experience, and they have the support of several supermarkets in Lizhou, so there should be no problem.
After talking about the supermarket, Wang Yueju got up to cook and asked Zhang Zijun to stay for dinner. He was naturally very happy and drove home to pick up two bottles of wine. He said to Gu Jianguo as if presenting a treasure: "This is the wine my father has hidden for several years. Let's try it today."
Gu Siqing: Will your dad beat you if he finds out?
The dinner at the Gu family was cheerful and warm, but the atmosphere at Xia Yuan's home was very depressing.
Today she met Gu Siqing, who was beautiful and intelligent. Just from two short sentences, Xia Yuan knew that she was an extraordinary child, a true genius.
A child in his teens, whose books were suppressed by her and could not enter the Kyoto market, did not show a trace of anger on her face when they met. Instead, her words were suggestive of her.
An average teenager could never do this, and neither could her daughter Shao Yunhan.
Comparing goods cannot compare with each other, but comparing people will make you depressed.
When she got home, she saw Shao Yunhan sitting on the sofa watching TV, laughing as she watched, like an idiot. Then she thought about Gu Siqing, who was implying something in her words without any emotion, and chatting and laughing with Xue Yuanming and the others. That was what a genius should be like.
Shao Yuhe sat next to her, looking relaxed and content. How could he be so careless? Didn't he know how Shao Yunhan had skipped a grade? Although she wanted to be recommended for admission, her writing skills had to be acceptable. Otherwise, what if she got caught?
"Shao Yuhe, you're a university teacher, is this how you educate your child?" Xia Yuan pointed at Shao Yuhe and said angrily, "Don't you know what's going on with her? And you let her watch TV here?"
Shao Yuhe has a delicate face, a gentle temperament, and a generally good temper. But even the best temper can get irritated if criticized for a long time. He put down the newspaper and said, "What are you angry about outside? Don't bring your emotions home."
Xia Yuan despised his nonchalant, indifferent demeanor. She dropped her bag on the tea and walked over to turn off the TV. Then, she looked down at Shao Yunhan and said, "Shao Yunhan, what did I tell you? Read, read, read, write, write. What are you doing? Are you worthy of my training in you?"
Her voice was so loud, almost a roar.
How could she have such an unpromising daughter?
Shao Yunhan sat back in shock and whispered, "My classmates all said this TV series is good, so I'll take a look."
Xia Yuan became even angrier. "You watch it just because others say it's good? Shao Yunhan, are you an ordinary kid? You're a talented young writer who's published a book. Can you be like an ordinary kid?"
Tears began to well up in Shao Yunhan's eyes. She felt so tired. She was so tired of being a genius.
"You're crying, you're still crying," Xia Yuan pointed at Shao Yunhan and said, "Nian Dou Bao has already come to Kyoto. I don't know what she's doing there. But can I stop her from getting her books into Kyoto? Can I stop her from going to Kyoto? She's also in the first year of high school now, and will soon be a sophomore. You can apply for admission, but she can't? If you're in the same school then, how can you compete with her?"
"Why should I compare myself with her?" Shao Yunhan was upset after being told off. She cried, "She's just a country bumpkin. Why should she compare herself with me? My grandfather and uncle are both high-ranking officials, my father is a university professor, and my mother is an editor. Why should she compare herself with me?"
In fact, Shao Yunhan has always looked down on the sticky rice dumpling she has never met. Her family background is better than that sticky rice dumpling, so she is destined to have better things than her.
