The customer specified that she wanted two necklaces, two bracelets, a pair of earrings, and two headpieces, and requested that the custom-made jewelry be delivered to her home before October 1st.
Bai Wei was glad that she had started preparing for the National Day launches in August, so she didn't have to worry too much about the National Day activities in September and could concentrate on making custom jewelry.
However, Bai Wei is still worried that there will not be enough stock for the National Day. This year's National Day in the store will definitely be more lively than last year. After all, the reputation is here, the popularity is quite high, and there are many regular customers, so they must have more stock.
In their spare time, Chen Juan and Sister Cui make jewelry in the store. They only make simple ones. Sister Cui can also make some slightly more complicated ones, but nothing too complicated.
Bai Wei didn't ask them to work quickly, as long as the quality of each piece of jewelry was good and similar to the ones she made.
Before the end of October, Bai Wei finished the custom-made jewelry and asked Lu Siting to drive her to the customer's home to deliver the jewelry.
I got a set of custom jewelry for 120 yuan.
Bai Wei sat in the passenger seat, counting money with a smile on her face.
Lu Siting smiled and shook his head, saying, "Little money-grubber."
October 1st soon arrived.
Schools are closed, factories are closed, only those who run shops are not closed.
The streets are very busy, with people rushing to the morning market. From around six o'clock, people start coming out to shop.
Sister Cui knew that there would be a lot of people during the National Day holiday, so she came to open the store at seven o'clock. Shen Juan came a little later, and came to the store with Bai Yaotian at half past eight.
The store was already busy at this time, but not too crowded.
An hour later, Lu Siting brought Bai Wei over. At this time, the small jewelry store was already crowded with people.
You can see that there are some people waiting in line outside who can’t even squeeze in.
There were too many people, so Lu Siting didn't let Bai Wei enter the store for fear that she would be squeezed, so he let Bai Wei sit in the car.
The jeep was parked on the side of the road, and even if Lu Siting went in to help, he could see Bai Wei as soon as he looked up.
Bai Wei also wanted to go in and help, but when she looked at her belly, she decided not to cause trouble for her husband and parents.
She sat in the car, ate some fruit, made some jewelry, and occasionally stared at the people in the store.
It was finally noon and many customers had left. Everyone started taking turns to have lunch.
The first one to go was Sister Cui. Bai Yaotian asked Shen Juan to buy food, but was stopped.
Lu Siting went to the trunk and took out two large lunch boxes, which he had prepared in the morning and was going to take to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Chen Juan and Bai Yaotian hadn't tasted Lu Siting's cooking for a long time. Knowing that they were going out to eat later, they ate the boxed lunches.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had finished their meal, and the customers also had finished their meal and went out to the street again.
At the same time, customers came into the store one after another, with almost no intention of stopping.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, many people went outside to see the lanterns, and there were fewer people in the store.
Everyone hurriedly cleaned up and then packed up to close the store.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, the first three days were almost always filled with orders. Bai Wei was glad that she prepared the inventory early, otherwise there would definitely not be enough to sell.
Starting from the fourth day, the flow of people gradually became less frequent, but the daily sales were still about twice as much as usual.
After the seven-day holiday, people went back to school and work, and the streets returned to their normal state.
After the October event ended, Bai Wei counted the money at home and then covered her pounding heart.
It’s true, I made more money than last year’s October 1st.
Since the store made money, Bai Wei gave a bonus to the only employee.
Bai Wei also noticed Sister Cui's condition these days.
Since she came to work, Bai Wei no longer has to go out early and come back late every day. In addition, Sister Cui will introduce and chat with customers, and sometimes even attract more customers. The increase of three or four yuan in daily sales is the best proof of this.
On October 1st, Sister Cui is the main force supporting the store.
After Bai Wei finished the calculation, she learned that Sister Cui had two daughters, so she picked out two cute hairpins, two head ornaments, and a ten-dollar bonus for her.
Sister Cui didn't expect that she would get a bonus after only working for half a year. She was very touched and worked even harder.
After the National Day activities in October were over, Bai Wei handed over her work to her mother and stayed at home instead of going to the store.
Bai Wei's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Her family members didn't agree with her going to the store all the time, and she herself felt it was a bit overwhelming, so she simply handed the jewelry store over to her mother temporarily.
Bai Wei officially became an expectant mother by taking a walk at home and making jewelry every day.
Lu Siting gets up in the morning to make breakfast, then goes to the army. He buys lunch on time at noon. If he comes back early, he goes home to cook.
No matter how busy he was, he would always go home at noon to see Bai Wei.
After dinner in the evening, Lu Siting accompanied Bai Wei for a walk in the courtyard. When they were tired, they just rested on the stone bench and then slowly walked back.
Bai Wei always feels uneasily when she sleeps at night now, because her big belly makes it inconvenient to turn over, and sometimes her calves get cramps.
Lu Siting always wakes up at the first opportunity and helps her turn over or rubs her legs.
One night, Bai Wei woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly wanted to eat barbecue.
She kind of missed the summer evenings when she would enjoy the evening breeze, barbecue and beer.
But she is pregnant, so she definitely can't drink alcohol. But it should be okay to have a barbecue, right?
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Bai Wei couldn't sleep the more she thought about it, and her mind was full of scenes of the barbecue restaurant.
Bai Wei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Lu Siting naturally noticed it, so he got up and asked, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
"Lu Siting, I feel like eating barbecue."
Bai Wei didn't want to be so useless. She couldn't sleep because she wanted to eat, but she didn't know why she wanted to eat barbecue tonight. She wasn't hungry, she just wanted to eat barbecue. When she thought of the sizzling barbecue skewers, her mouth began to drool.
Lu Siting didn't expect it was because of this. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to eat? There are vegetables in the refrigerator. I'll cook a few dishes for you. I'm afraid barbecue is not healthy."
Lu Siting had already gotten up and was getting dressed. Bai Wei was a little anxious, and with red eyes she said coquettishly, "I don't want it. I don't want to eat it. I just want to eat barbecue. I'll just eat a little bit to satisfy my craving, just once!"
It's not like she wanted any delicacies, she just wanted a barbecue, but he was unwilling to give it to her. It was really infuriating.
Bai Wei was angry and aggrieved. Lu Siting was stunned for a moment, but he also knew that she had been thinking a lot since she became pregnant. In the end, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, wait for me at home for a while. I'll go buy it."
