Chapter 418 Ding Lefeng
After dealing with the affairs in Jing City, Su Mo went to the department store to buy milk powder, brown sugar, condensed milk, royal jelly, and two cans of malted milk that became popular last year, and took the bus to Tang City.
Before Su Mo left, she called the communication office of Lu Xiaolan's school and told them that she would be there later.
After receiving the news, Li Yue'e hurried to the market to cut mutton and buy a big elbow, intending to stew mutton soup and big elbow for Su Mo. She hadn't seen Su Mo for more than a year since Lu Xiaolan's wedding, and she missed her.
The school where Lu Xiaolan taught was not far from the station. There were human-powered tricycles at the station entrance, so transportation was convenient.
Su Mo called a tricycle from the station to the school, which took about ten minutes and cost two cents.
When she arrived at the school, Su Mo registered her visitor information at the security guard, and then followed the security guard's instructions to go to the staff building where Lu Xiaolan lived.
Most of the houses in Tang City are newly built, and they are all spacious and bright. The school's staff building is also equipped with heating, which is better than most buildings in Beijing.
Li Yue'e had just finished cooking, put on her coat and was about to go to the school gate to wait for Su Mo. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Su Mo coming up the stairs carrying large and small bags.
Li Yue'e ran over to help get some, and said happily: "Xiaomo, how come you are so fast? Mother is going to pick you up at the school gate."
"The driver who drove today must be an experienced driver. He drove very fast and arrived early." Su Mo smiled. The mother
and daughter went into the house. Lu Xiaolan heard the sound and tiptoed out. When she saw Su Mo, she excitedly lowered her voice and called out: "Third sister-in-law!"
When she saw the things filling the table, she said again: "Third sister-in-law, I am very happy that you are here. Why did you buy so many things?"
Su Mo joked, "They are not for you, but for my nephew."
"Oh, it seems that I am going to lose favor." Lu Xiaolan smiled.
The two chatted in the living room for a while, and when Su Mo's coldness dissipated, they went into the house to see the child.
The child was sleeping at this time, and was well-fed, white and plump. His eyebrows and eyes were at least 80% similar to Ding Zhicheng. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the two were father and son.
Su Mo was very curious, and reached out to touch the child's face gently, "This boy is really strong."
Lu Xiaolan smiled, "Yes, he was born as a fat boy weighing more than 7 kilograms. I ate too much when I was pregnant, and the baby was too big. I was very upset, and I almost had to have a caesarean section."
When Lu Xiaolan gave birth, she suffered a lot because the baby was too big. The situation was actually a bit dangerous at the time.
"You knew that the baby was too big, why didn't you have a caesarean section at the beginning?" Su Mo disagreed.
"The doctor said that natural birth is good for the baby. That's the only reason. I just want to have a natural birth if possible and not have a caesarean section anymore." Lu Xiaolan said.
The country has been implementing the family planning policy since last year. Civil servants and industrial households are the first targets. Especially for couples like Lu Xiaolan, both of whom are college students, they can only have one child.
"That's what you say, but you still have to take care of your body first. This is the capital of all revolutions." Su Mo said. "
Okay, I won't do that in the future." Lu Xiaolan nodded, feeling touched. Only the third sister-in-law always makes plans for her.
Her parents love her, but it's a matter of concept. In the minds of the older generation, no matter how much parents give to their children, it is their duty. For the sake of the children, it's nothing for a mother to suffer a little.
Lu Xiaolan actually wanted to have a caesarean section at that time, but after hearing the doctor say that a natural birth would be the best, and after Li Yue'e also advised her a few words, she chose a natural birth.
"Have you named the child?" Su Mo asked.
"Yes, Dad picked it two days ago. It's called Ding Lefeng. He said he hopes the child will be happy and free as the wind." The "Dad" in Lu Xiaolan's mouth refers to Zhang Zhen. "
This is a good name. I hope Lefeng lives up to his name and lives a happy life." Su Mo said, and took out a prepared red envelope from her bag and put it next to the child's pillow.
"Third sister-in-law, you bought so many things, why are you still giving out red envelopes? Take it back quickly." Lu Xiaolan took the red envelope and wanted to give it back to Su Mo.
The red envelope was so thick, considering the character of the third sister-in-law, it must be a big reunion gift, at least three or four hundred yuan, how could she accept it.
"This is a little gift from your third brother and I to our little nephew, if you don't accept it, I will be unhappy." Su Mo scolded.
"But this is too much. Lefeng is just a baby, how can he afford such a big red envelope?"
Su Mo waved her hand, "Your third brother got a promotion last month and his salary increased."
Lu Xiaolan was delighted, "Did your third brother get a promotion?"
"Yes, to the rank of lieutenant general. The people from the logistics department came to inform us some time ago that we can move to a two-story single-family house. I was thinking of letting grandpa and my parents move to Guangzhou in two years, and then we can move in after the Chinese New Year."
"That's great. When I have summer vacation, I will take Rufeng over to have a look, so that he can also meet his successful third uncle."
"You're welcome anytime." Su Mo smiled, "We're going back to Lujia Village for the New Year this year. We haven't been back for several years since the Long March, and we can finally take a vacation this year. Are you going back?"
Lu Xiaolan and her friends had planned to go to Guangzhou to accompany Zhang Zhen this year, so that the old man could see his grandson, but since Su Mo and her friends were going back for the New Year, they naturally went back as well if they could all come together.
"Okay, then we'll go back this year too."
At this time, Li Yue'e had already put the food on the table and came over to call the two to eat. The mother and three of them had a
delicious meal. Li Yue'e also poured two glasses of fruit wine and drank one with Su Mo.
After the meal, the three of them discussed opening a clothing store.
After listening to Su Mo's detailed explanation, the mother and the two of them were surprised that opening a clothing store could make so much money.
Even if you only sell one or two items a day, you can make 100 or 200 yuan in a month. If you sell a lot, the income...
For Li Yue'e, it's simply unthinkable.
"Xiao Mo, is business really that profitable now? Isn't it higher than the wages of workers?" Her daughter graduated from university and only made more than 50 yuan a month.
"Our country is now too short of materials. It is still a seller's market, so it is naturally profitable." Su Mo said, "The wages of workers in our country are relatively low."
She remembered that it seemed that the country would start to increase the wages of workers at the end of this year.
"Oh, if everyone goes into business, wouldn't they become rich soon?" If business is so profitable, who would be willing to dig a few melons and dates in the fields.
"Mom, although doing business is profitable, not everyone can do it. It seems easy to you now, that's because Third Sister-in-law has planned everything."
"For the clothing business we want to do, you need someone to design the styles, and there must be tailors to make them. These are not the most difficult things. The difficult part is how to get the fabrics. How many cloth coupons do we issue in a year? If you don't have some skills, how can you get so many beautiful fabrics?"
The clothes sent by Su Mo were shipped back by Ding Zhicheng two days ago. Lu Xiaolan and Li Yue'e have also seen them. They are really eye-catching. They are high-end goods at first glance. The department stores in Tang City don't have such fashionable styles.
Although the price will be a few dollars more expensive than the department stores, the style and quality are incomparable to the ready-made clothes in the department stores.
For those who love respectability, what they want is to be different from others.
