Upon arriving at the market, Gu Lanyan stopped the car and sighed, "They're all sold out again. To be honest, I'm still a little nervous."
Hua Wanjiang laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a loud voice. You've never been louder when we argued before."
Hua Kai burst out laughing: "Dad, are you praising Mom?"
Gu Lanyan laughed too: "Your dad is too clumsy with words." After saying that, she touched the money on her chest: "So much, I feel like I'm dreaming."
Hua Kai said, "Mom, we can earn even more money in the future."
Gu Lanyan said, "Your dad and I will definitely work harder in the future." After saying that, she said to Hua Wanjiang, "It was inconvenient to push the stroller just now. Wait for me and Kai Kai for a while. I'll take her to Da Shuang's to buy her a new outfit. How can she go to school without a new outfit?"
Hua Wanjiang helped the car over and said, "Yes, yes, don't be stingy with money, buy a good one."
Hua Kai wasn't entirely satisfied with the clothes, so she asked Gu Lanyan, "Mom, do you know how to make clothes?"
Gu Lanyan said, "I can, but the guarantee we make ourselves is not as good as the ones we buy. Don't be afraid to spend money."
Hua Kai quickly explained, "Mom, I didn't do it to save money. Look, doesn't the dress I altered look better on me than the one I bought? I really did have a style I wanted. Isn't it hard work to make clothes?"
Gu Lanyan said, "That's not difficult at all. Your neighbor, Grandma Zhang, is good at making clothes. She has a sewing machine. I asked her for help, and it was finished in one afternoon."
Hua Kai was delighted to hear this: "Mom, let's buy fabric and make our own! I've seen so many beautiful clothes in books before, they're much prettier than the ones sold at the market."
Gu Lanyan genuinely thought the clothes Hua Kai had altered looked quite nice, so she said, "Then let's buy more fabric and make a couple more pieces; it'll be cheaper that way."
Hua Kai agreed, "Okay, let's go buy some fabric then."
The three of them then went to the supply and marketing cooperative, where the fabrics were more complete and the colors were relatively accurate.
Hua Kai bought a piece of thick gray-green cotton fabric to make a pair of cargo pants. Then she bought a piece of khaki double-sided fleece to make a zip-up sweatshirt, which is perfect for this season. Finally, Hua Kai asked the fabric seller for a few larger scraps of fabric, enough to make a backpack.
Her family isn't very well-off right now, so she didn't buy much. Besides, she's going to school tomorrow, and she wouldn't have time to make more.
Of course, she didn't ask her parents to make new clothes either. It wasn't the right time yet. She would definitely buy new clothes for her family when she started earning money.
I'll buy my mother a sewing machine then. Whatever style I want that's not available outside, I'll have her make it. I'm quite particular about clothing.
After buying the fabric, Gu Lanyan also bought buttons and zippers, and then bought Huakai a pair of sneakers.
After buying everything, they went home. After having lunch, Hua Kai started drawing the designs for the clothes.
In her previous life, she had studied art, so she had no problem with drawing. In addition, she had read some fashion design magazines, so she drew in great detail.
Gu Lanyan didn't understand these things; she just thought that if children went to school a lot and learned a lot, they would know everything.
After the flower painting was finished, Gu Lanyan and I went to the Zhang family next door to ask Grandma Zhang to help make clothes.
Grandma Zhang looked at the drawings Hua Kai had made and exclaimed, "This child is really smart. She's been clever since she was little and learns everything quickly. Look at this drawing, it's good."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Grandma Zhang. I'll have to trouble you today."
Grandma Zhang's face was full of kindness: "I heard you're going to high school, and I'm so happy. I promise I'll make sure you get a good look at the house."
As she spoke, Grandma Zhang took a ruler and began measuring the flowers.
After taking the measurements, Hua Kai carefully explained the requirements to Grandma Zhang, and then Grandma Zhang and Gu Lanyan began cutting the flowers.
Hua Kai has nothing to do here, so she'll go home first and think about packing her things.
She had just stepped out of her own front door when a familiar voice called out to her: "Hua Kai."
Hua Kai recognized Ye Yifan's voice and turned around happily: "Captain Ye, what brings you here?"
Ye Yifan walked over and said, "I'm going to the provincial capital for a few days. I thought you would come to say goodbye to me before you go to school, so I came to let you know in advance. If you need anything at school, just go to Xiaoxue."
When Hua Kai heard Ye Yifan mention Xiao Xue's name, she couldn't help but smile and said to Ye Yifan, "Thank you, Captain Ye. Actually, you..."
Before Hua Kai could finish speaking, an untimely voice rang out: "Captain Ye? Is it really you? How do you know Hua Kai? Were you deceived by her?"
When Hua Lin heard that Hua Kai was going to high school, she was very upset, so she couldn't help but go to their doorstep.
She never expected that upon arriving here, she would see Hua Kai smiling and talking to Ye Yifan. Hua Kai seemed like a completely different person now, even more beautiful and with a better temperament.
Most importantly, Ye Yifan was at Hua Kai's doorstep, which proved that it wasn't Hua Kai who was bothering Ye Yifan. This ignited her jealousy, and she asked Ye Yifan resentfully.
Ye Yifan looked at Hua Lin: "Who are you? What gives you the right to ask me these questions?"
Hua Kai knew Ye Yifan too well; he was never polite when he spoke, so she didn't need to say anything. She could just smile and watch Hua Lin get roasted.
Hua Lin hurriedly explained after hearing Ye Yifan's words, "Captain Ye, you misunderstood. I was just trying to be helpful and remind you, afraid that you might be deceived."
Ye Yifan frowned and looked at Hua Lin, asking, "Are you saying I'm stupid? Or are you saying I'm dumb?"
Hua Lin quickly waved her hand: "No, Captain Ye, I didn't mean that. You don't know how cunning, treacherous, and vicious Hua Kai is. She's not as simple as she seems. She can frame me for sleeping with a man. A woman like that isn't as innocent as you think."
Ye Yifan sneered: "Frame-up? Hua Kai really doesn't need to frame you, you're not high enough."
Hua Lin hadn't expected that after all she'd said, Ye Yifan's attitude hadn't changed at all, and that his words implied he was protecting Hua Kai. How could that be? She'd always heard that Ye Yifan never paid attention to the girls in the village; otherwise, she would have tried to get close to him herself. So why were he and Hua Kai so close? Was he bewitched by Hua Kai's appearance?
She continued, unwilling to give up, "Captain Ye, although Hua Kai is pretty, she's not as innocent as she looks. She's after your status. Her family is used to being poor, so she tries to climb up to rich people. You really need to be careful."
"A filthy heart sees no one as clean." Ye Yifan's tone was somewhat cold.
Hua Kai smiled and looked at Hua Lin, saying, "You just said I'm pretty, didn't you? Thank you for the compliment, I think so too."
Ye Yifan turned her head and looked at Hua Kai's smiling face in the sunlight, and her optimistic attitude. She couldn't help but smile herself.
