With saliva all over her face, Xiao Hanzi pouted in grievance. She wiped her face and glared at her two brothers with disgust.
Mr. He laughed out loud at the interaction between the children.
Ranran saw her sister's eyes sparkling. The little girl always loved beauty. Knowing that her sister became more beautiful because of a set of clothes, she also looked like she wanted to have it, but she was too embarrassed to ask Lu Baiwei and Zhao Lan for it.
The little girl squatted down quietly, touched the material of Xiao Hanzi's new clothes, and even touched her bow with her hand.
“So beautiful!”
Lu Baiwei laughed beside him: "Then Auntie, can you let Auntie make you a set of clothes?"
"Same as my sister's."
"When Xiao Hanzi comes back to the compound during the holidays, you two sisters will dress exactly the same and follow your great grandfather for a walk in the compound. You will definitely be the two most beautiful girls in our compound."
"Really? Auntie, will you make one for me too?"
Xiao Ranzi said sweetly to Zhao Lan: "Thank you, aunt."
The thief He Yunqi has grown up and no longer asks for things. Lu Baiwei can understand what he said.
"Aunt, if my brother and I wear the same clothes and walk around behind Grandpa, everyone in the compound will know that we are the five brightest kids in the He family."
Gu Min was speechless after hearing this: "Your aunt could have just asked your aunt to make you one instead of making all this unnecessary."
He Yunqi chuckled and looked at Lu Baiwei.
Lu Baiwei rubbed the eldest and second son's heads with her hands and said, "If there is any good thing, of course our Little Qi Boss must have it too."
"My aunt has extra cloth. You can stay in the compound for one night. Tomorrow you can wear new clothes like your brothers and sisters."
Zhao Lan has a sister who works in a textile factory and can help her get a lot of defective cloth.
Now her son has not married and her daughter is in high school and living in the school dormitory. Ever since she stayed in the new house to help Lu Baiwei take care of the triplets, she has been thinking about the three little ones all the time.
I asked someone to help me pick out the best fabrics for the triplets to make clothes.
She also got a lot of scraps of cloth to make hair flowers for Hanhan. The little girl became more and more outstanding, and dressing up little Hanhan became Zhao Lan's daily pleasure.
Fortunately, there was a lot of fabric to make clothes for the triplets. Zhao Lan agreed to make clothes for Ranran. Lu Baiwei and Gu Min came back to look after the children, so she rushed to cut clothes at night.
The next day, before Grandpa He brought He Yunqi and Xiao Ranzi back to the compound, she made two new sets of clothes for the children.
Seeing Xiao Ranzi dressed up in a new look, Gu Min was extremely satisfied. She pulled Xiao Ranzi around in circles and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Auntie Lan, Ranran looks so beautiful after you dress her up like this."
"I look like a different person wearing this dress. You can't buy such a good style of clothes in the department store. Aunt Lan, you are so thoughtful that you even made a pair of headbands for the child to match this dress."
Zhao Lan was very good at making clothes and was well-known among her relatives and friends.
She likes to be praised for her cooking skills.
Gu Min's reaction made her feel as sweet as honey, and she continued with a smile.
"Amin, you are so sweet. It's not as good as you say. I hope you don't mind my cooking skills."
"It's totally unjust for me to despise your craftsmanship."
Gu Min kept praising it: "It's so beautiful. Anyway, your craftsmanship is better than the clothes sold in department stores. If you put it out for sale, you will be crazy about it."
"Auntie Lan, believe it or not, if Ranran wears this outfit today, all the aunts and wives in the compound will pester her and ask which department store she bought it from."
"And this hair flower, you must let me help you bring it."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
The person with ulterior motives was not Zhao Lan herself, but Lu Baiwei.
When Lu Baiwei heard her sister-in-law Gu Min praise Ranran and Xiao Qi for wearing the clothes back to the compound, saying that people would pester her and ask where they bought them, and also saying that if they sold this style in a department store, people would go crazy for it, Lu Baiwei's eyes lit up immediately.
She thought of the time when Shen Junqian bought a hair flower for Tao Xiaotong and regretted that he could not do the hair flower business.
Now the clothes and hair ornaments made by her aunt are more beautiful than those Xiaotong bought for her last time.
Now that the individual economy has been liberalized, she plans to hand over the braised food shop to Su Changyao and her sister-in-law Gu Min. That way, she can free up her hands to try her hand at the clothing accessories business.
You have to know that with the liberalization of the economy, any of the following sectors, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, can make a fortune by riding on the spring breeze of reform and opening up.
After He Hua took his sister-in-law Gu Min's family and the old man away, Lu Baiwei took the headdress made by Zhao Lan and looked at it and studied it.
"Aunt, besides these little flowers and bows, do you want to try making other styles of hairbands?"
Zhao Lan asked Lu Baiwei: "What other styles can you make?"
"I can't explain it clearly. How about this, I'll draw it for you."
Lu Baiwei took out paper and pen and started drawing patterns on the paper. As she drew the patterns one by one, Zhao Lan, holding Hanhan behind her, exclaimed repeatedly.
"It looks good. This one looks good too."
“This is so pretty!”
"Weiwei, why are you so good at drawing? I think the pictures you draw are so rare."
"I wonder how good these hairbands and flowers will look when they are tied on Hanhan's head. I'll make a few more for your cousin later. She's grown up and loves to be coquettish. She's sure she'll like the hairband style you drew."
Lu Baiwei drew ten beautiful patterns in a row. She put down her pen and said, "Aunt, I've drawn so many flower headbands. Even Hanhan and my cousin won't be able to finish them all!"
Zhao Lan began to understand what Lu Baiwei meant.
She expressed her doubts: "Weiwei, you have just finished painting this, are you planning to sell it?"
Lu Baiwei nodded.
Zhao Lan was excited: "So, you mean I can help take care of Xiao Hanzi while making hairbands and selling them."
"Um."
Lu Baiwei told Zhao Lan: "Aunt, just make it when you have time and leave it in front of our store for Song He to sell."
Song He and Zhao Lan knew that it was Song Zhou's sister. She brought the triplets to the braised food shop where Gu Min had met.
Zhao Lan hesitated: "Weiwei, is this too much trouble?"
"What's the trouble? Just put the things there. No one needs to keep an eye on them. We can make a glass cabinet. If someone wants to buy something, just ask Song He to take it out and sell it directly."
"We can also cooperate with the stewed food shop to organize activities. For example, if you buy a certain amount of stewed food, you can give away a hair flower and hair band. Then we can calculate the money from you, my aunt, based on the hair bands and hair flowers you gave away."
After hearing what Lu Baiwei said, Zhao Lan was willing to do it.
She said cheerfully, "It's not a big deal to make a hairband or flower for myself. I'll make some for activities in the store, so you don't need to charge me."
"No, let's put things in perspective. We need to expand our hair tie and flower business in the future."
