Zhang Xueer had no choice; she knew Bai Shuang didn't want to owe her a favor.
However, it's already quite good that Bai Shuang accepted it; at least it shows that she's not as resistant to him as she was before the storm.
She couldn't be happier to be able to travel with Bai Shuang and the others for a while now.
Bai Shuang: "What kind of work do you do now?"
"Doing farm work in the planting area."
“With your skills, making and selling cloth shoes would be a great business, wouldn’t it? Nowadays, almost everyone is short of clothes and shoes.”
Zhang Xueer: "But there are no materials."
The soles can be used to store old clothes that can no longer be worn, but the uppers and linings need sturdy fabric.
"You could open a shop, make custom cloth shoes, let the customers provide the materials, and earn a labor fee."
Is it really possible?
"It's definitely possible. You can discuss it with your mom when you get back."
I have some cloth and cotton stored here, which I can sell to you, but not much. However, it seems that you don't need too much cloth to make shoes.
If you don't have enough points, you can pay me back later when you earn them.
The group chatted as they walked back.
There is a shortage of cloth and cotton, so textile and shoe factories lack materials.
If Zhang Xueer and her daughter opened a cloth shoe store, it could supplement their income to a small extent, although it wouldn't solve their major problems.
Bai Shuang thought of the baby in her womb, "Does your mother know how to make children's clothes and shoes?"
"Probably, I'll ask when I get back."
"If you know how, help me make some. I have the materials myself, and I'll pay you when it's done."
Before the disaster, Bai Shuang hadn't prepared anything for children. At that time, everyone was only thinking about their own survival. Who would have thought about having children?
However, she still has items like diapers, changing pads, bottles, sterilizers, children's clothes, shoes, cribs, baby toys, and early education pictures in her online space.
Thanks to Bai Shuang, who bought a supermarket a few days before the flood, which sold baby and maternity products.
At the time, Bai Shuang thought it was useless, but luckily she didn't get rid of it later. Now, it's useful, isn't it?
However, since someone knows how to make it, and Bai Shuang has cotton produced in the space and pure cotton fabric, it's best to make some in advance.
To avoid issues with the size being unsuitable or the quality being questionable.
After arriving home, Bai Shuang gave Zhang Xueer a black down jacket.
"It's getting colder every day, here's this cotton coat for you."
Upon seeing the brand-new down jacket, Zhang Xueer repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome. Remember to ask your mom about making clothes for the kids when you get home, and let me know."
After she left, Bai Jiu asked, "Will she come?"
"They definitely will; this is a great opportunity for them to earn points."
Besides, wasn't she trying every possible way to see you? How could she possibly miss such an opportunity?
"Miss, what are you saying?"
Bai Jiu was a little embarrassed.
"Don't be embarrassed, it's time to face this matter. Anyway, I think Zhang Xueer is pretty good. She's been pursuing you for several years."
Although she may value our status and conditions, that's only natural. Who wouldn't want to marry someone with good conditions?
Before the disaster, why did those girls refuse to marry someone who didn't have a car or a house?
Think about it carefully.
Bai Shuang thought for a while, then asked Bai Jiu.
Do you like my junior sister? If so, I'll ask her for you.
Mr. Wu hasn't returned yet. That girl, Qiao, should be a grown-up by now, probably around the same age as Liu Yuanyuan.
Or should we wait a little longer?
Oh, I've really worried myself sick over you all!
Bai Jiu and the other two watched Bai Shuang mutter to herself, not knowing what to feel.
Bai Jiu: "Miss, I've noticed you're getting more and more talkative."
"I'm doing all this for you guys, do you know how hard it's been for me?"
Bai Jiu: "I don't want to get married. Is it okay if I just live with you like this?"
When I get old, your children can take care of me, right?
Bai Shuang glared at him. "Tch, dream on. You want my child to take care of you in your old age?"
Go find a wife and have your own kids.
She didn't want the people around her to be single and grow old alone; adults need love from the opposite sex.
Bai Jiu: "After we get married, you won't kick us out, will you?"
If I get married, I'll have to leave the prostitute; I really don't want to get married.
Bai Shuang thought for a moment, "You can still be my bodyguards and secretaries. You can go home after get off work every day."
Special circumstances will be considered separately.
According to the Bai family's rules, they should retire after marriage and stop working as bodyguards, and instead do other jobs.
Bai Shuang was then replaced by a younger bodyguard.
However, after the apocalypse, there was a population gap, no opportunity to raise children, and no children to raise. Therefore, special conditions require special handling.
In addition, they had been following Bai Shuang all along, and their lives had been smooth sailing. They also drank spiritual spring water from time to time, so their physical condition was very good, and they continued to use it.
Bai Jiu: "Okay, as long as you don't kick us out."
Bai Shuang thought to herself, what is this guy thinking? Where else can I possibly drive them?
After finishing their conversation, the three of them started preparing dinner: congee with preserved egg and lean pork, crab roe buns, shrimp dumplings, a broccoli salad, a bitter chrysanthemum salad, and a plate of cucumber.
Just as we were about to put it on the table, Xiao Zhao came back.
He was exhausted; he had just finished processing the military documents.
Since the commander left, he has been working overtime every day, and his wife has entrusted him with reviewing all the documents sent from the military headquarters.
Seeing his tired face, Bai Jiu quickly said, "Brother Zhao, the food is ready. Hurry up and tidy it up and put it on the table. Let's see what delicious food your brother made for you today."
Xiao Zhao was hungry. Smelling the aroma of the food, he changed his clothes, washed up, and then sat down at the table.
He ate several large pieces of meat and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge before looking at Bai Shuang.
"Madam, you can't just leave all those documents to me."
Bai Shuang: "Didn't I ask Wang Ying to help you?"
"Don't even mention it. It would have been better if she hadn't helped. The more she helped, the slower things became."
She's too slow, too meticulous, and too verbose.
Bai Chang: "Older people can't change their habits, so don't worry about it."
Xiao Zhao: "It's not that I'm being petty, but I still have to finish all those tasks every day."
"Madam, please have Bai Chang help me tomorrow."
Bai Chang... I really shouldn't have spoken.
No, I can't.
"Xiao Zhao, I'll teach you."
"They can't learn it even if you teach them."
Bai Shuang watched them bicker with a smile, "Alright, we'll go help out tomorrow if we're free, and we'll leave work together."
"You've been very busy lately, your workload has been quite heavy."
That's more like it.
After the meal, Bai Shuang released the four snow leopard cubs and let them train.
The snow leopard couple were taken away by Lu Yu. The four cubs were too noisy, so most of the time, Bai Xue put them in her spatial storage.
The group was about to leave with the puppy when Bai Shuang's phone rang. It was her aunt calling.
"Shuangshuang, we've looked into it, and we can't do business right now. Let's try to find a job for your uncle."
"Then let him be in charge of fuel supply, and I'll assign him a professional in this field as his deputy."
Aunt: "Thank you, Shuangshuang. Your junior brother should continue working at the pharmaceutical factory."
