Chapter 111 Preparations before opening
After leaving An Lan's house, Huang Xinran hurriedly jumped onto a bus.
She didn't even check the bus number. She passed two stops and jumped off the bus just as it was about to leave. After changing two buses in a row, she finally found the right route and took the bus back to the shop.
And at this moment, it is getting dark.
Seeing Huang Xinran returning empty-handed and looking tired, Huang Hongyi was stunned and Liu Zhaodi rolled her eyes to the sky.
"Oh, Miss, you are really busy."
"No. Mom, I encountered some problems, please don't bother me." Huang Xinran was in a bad mood and really didn't want to argue with his mother.
Fortunately, she had made preparations beforehand, so she did not go to An's house empty-handed.
An Lan also cooperated tacitly. While taking the bamboo basket back and forth, she passed the message. I don't know if the public security comrades can follow the clues and catch the escaped traffickers?
"I think you are asking for a beating!~"
Huang Xinran was still immersed in anxiety when a coin suddenly hit her head. Liu Zhaodi put her hands on her waist and tapped her forehead: "You are so young, but you sigh easily. What's the matter? Is the sky falling? Even if the sky really falls, don't you still have tall people to support it, and I will support you? Cheer up, look at what you look like!"
"Mom, you..."
Huang Xinran wanted to say something, but then lost her temper again: "Forget it, forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to take a shower first."
As soon as she left, Liu Zhaodi's face fell and she looked at her eldest son: "Tell me, what happened to your sister? Was she bullied outside?"
"Shouldn't it be? With my sister like that, who can bully her?"
Huang Hongyi couldn't help but think that his sister had always been very strong-willed. If she hadn't fallen into trouble with that bastard named Xiao in her marriage, her life would have been smooth sailing. Who could bully her?
But when he thought of his sister's tired look just now, he began to doubt his mother's suspicion.
Could it be that she was really bullied?
Who dares to bully her?
Don’t want to die!
On the other side, An Lan secretly unfolded the note that Huang Xinran handed over. After seeing the words on it clearly, he was dumbfounded.
She quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number.
But she hung up the call halfway through and changed her number.
After someone answered the phone, she spoke first: "It's me, An Lan. I just got some new information from my informant..."
Even after hanging up the phone, An Lan couldn't help but pick up the note and read the contents again.
There is a scumbag in their team?
If Huang Xinran hadn't said this, she would have definitely thought that someone was slandering their comrades. But she found Huang Xinran trustworthy. She just didn't know if their people could be the hidden traffickers.
…
Huang Xinran took a shower and calmed down.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
It was unclear whether she could catch the trafficker who had escaped. All she could do was to try her best to avoid the regrets of her previous life.
She decided that she would go home when the store opened.
She felt uncomfortable without her two children around.
Once the shop has fabric, it can open quickly.
According to Huang Xinran's original arrangement, after getting the fabric, Liu Zhaodi cut the fabric to make new clothes according to the new pattern Huang Xinran drew, and prepared to hang them in the shop as a "sample."
But to make clothes, you need a sewing machine, and the sewing machine that Huang Xinran brought as a dowry is still in Lu's house.
And the sewing machine of my eldest sister-in-law Wenying is also in the Huang family.
Huang Xinran wrote a registered letter to Huang Zhiye, asking him to bring the sewing machine into the city as soon as possible.
And she herself started running for smoking permits.
Selling cigarettes is indeed a good business. She does not intend to sell fake cigarettes. The only way is to get a cigarette license. It is not easy to get a cigarette license smoothly. You have to rely on personal connections.
Huang Xinran ran around for two days and was overwhelmed by the endless stream of proofs.
With no other choice, he could only go to Liang Wei again.
Holding the phone number that An Lan had given her earlier, she finally dialed Liang Wei's number.
Liang Wei didn't expect Huang Xinran to come to him. When he found out that the person on the other end of the phone was Huang Xinran, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud.
"Oh my, it turns out that things have changed and you will beg me for help too!"
Liang Wei was indeed well-informed. After learning that she wanted to apply for a smoking permit, he agreed to help her find out.
The next day he came to the shop and brought good news: "I asked around and found out that you found the wrong person. Follow the process on this piece of paper I gave you and you will be able to get the smoking permit soon."
"Really? Let me see... First get a certificate, then apply for a business license..."
Not to mention, Huang Xinran even forgot about applying for a business license.
Liang Wei's network of contacts was indeed extensive. When he knew that Huang Xinran didn't know where to find these units, he offered to lead the way. With him leading the way, it only took one day to submit the required information.
All that remains is to wait for the certification.
To thank Liang Wei, Huang Xinran took the initiative to take out a basket of peaches and stuffed them into his hands.
"Didn't you want to eat cherries last time? Cherries are out of season and I don't have any left. I only have some peaches. It depends on whether you like them or not."
Peach?
When Huang Xinran came out of the house with a bamboo basket, Liang Wei smelled a strong fruity aroma.
The fruity aroma was very strange, very similar to the aroma of cherries he had eaten before.
His heart moved, and he couldn't help but continue: "But is it the same as last time?"
Huang Xinran didn't say anything, just smiled.
Liang Wei was instantly delighted: "Great!"
He added, "Don't worry, your information has been submitted, just wait. I will help you find out, and I will send it to you as soon as your certificate comes."
"Okay. Thank you then."
It is true that “it is easier to get things done if you have connections in the court”. Three days later, the business license and smoking permit were issued!
Huang Xinran was filled with emotion.
Huang Hongyi was also busy. As the shop was limited in area, he built a shed behind the shop to cook. He changed the materials he had planned to use from waste wood to defective bricks bought from the brick factory.
Although the area is not large, Huang Xinran carefully planned the location of the stove and sink. He even spent a "high price" to buy drainage pipes, which were connected directly to the underground pipeline for a separate drainage. He also separated out an area of 1.5 square meters in the corner to make a bathroom.
Don't be fooled by its small size, it has a lot of functions.
After Huang Xinran went to the station to pick up Huang Zhiye who had brought a sewing machine into the city, it only took Huang Xinran one afternoon to make several sets of classic styles, which he hung in the shop for display.
Of course, the unsold frog mirrors were also hung on the display rack.
After choosing an auspicious day, "Huang's Tailor Shop" finally opened.
On the opening day, accompanied by a burst of firecrackers, the store, which had been closed for decades, finally reopened for business.
