Gu Lei was excited all day today. He could make money while still in school. He could go to school in Beijing in the future. It felt like a dream.
Gu Jingrui felt depressed. His uncle could go to school and earn money, but he couldn't. They were not much older than each other.
A muffled voice interrupted Gu Lei's thoughts, "Uncle, can you take care of my emotions?"
Gu Lei reluctantly comforted him, "Jingrui, you still think that the second sister-in-law will definitely choose the older one to take care of the child. Your task now is to play."
"But I can help sell clothes even without the kids, right?"
"Jingrui, they hope you can focus all your energy on studying. You have parents who don't need to worry about you, but your uncle is different. Your grandparents are old, and your uncle has to rely on himself to reduce their burden."
Gu Jingrui thought about it and it made sense. His parents could make money, his mother and second aunt also made money by making clothes, but his grandparents couldn't. If they went to Beijing to study together, it would be understandable for his uncle to make money to reduce the burden.
"Uncle, I'm happier than you. I must study hard and not let my family down. I will continue to help you."
"Jingrui, you don't have to help me. You are still young. Don't think so much. When you grow up, reality will force you to think about it. For now, just study hard and enjoy your childhood."
"I understand, uncle. If anyone asks, I'll bring it to you."
"Okay, let's go back to the classroom. Class is about to start again."
After school, Gu Lei waited for Jingrui to come find him and then go home together.
Jingrui didn't come over, but instead a few parents came.
"Hello, is this Gu Lei?"
Gu Lei looked at the man and although he didn't recognize him, he politely said, "Yes, I am. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
"We ordered clothes from your store before the New Year, and now that the season has changed, we want to keep an eye on them. I wonder if you still do it?"
"I've just started working on it. I'm drawing up the blueprints now. You can go and see for yourself what you want."
"Can we go with you? We've been there once and can't remember the way clearly."
"Of course, but I have to wait for my nephew. We'll go home together."
Just then Jingrui came over with two people. "Uncle, I'm late."
"It's okay. If you don't come over I'll go find you."
"Uncle, these two people wanted to see the spring clothes designed by Second Aunt, so I brought them here."
Gu Lei asked, "Hello, we are going back by bicycle. How do you get there?"
"We can just follow you on our bicycles. If you don't have a bicycle, you can take a ride on someone else's."
There were five of them in total, with three bicycles, so they could still get through. Gu Lei walked in front and they followed behind. The four bicycles looked like a beautiful sight.
As soon as Gu Lei entered the door, he shouted, "Second sister-in-law, someone wants to come over to order clothes. Can you come out and take a look? I don't understand much."
Lu Wanwan came out when she heard the shouting, and saw that it was the people who ordered clothes before the New Year.
"Hello, please come in first. We don't have any samples for the spring clothes yet. We only have blueprints. Would you like to take a look first?"
"Okay, let's take a look at the style first."
This time there are skirts, sports casual suits, more formal suits, small shirts and trousers.
The people Gu Lei brought ordered seven sets in total. Two of them took a skirt, a shirt and trousers set, and the other one took a set of three items.
The two people from Jingrui chose a small shirt and trousers, which they had never worn before and wanted to try.
Lu Wanwan charged them eight dollars for the skirt and twelve dollars for each suit. She then asked them to go to her sister-in-law to measure their sizes. After paying, she asked them to come and pick up the clothes in a week.
After the guests left, Lu Wanwan felt that her sister-in-law was too slow in making clothes by herself. She wondered if there was anyone who could make good clothes. They could hire someone to do it.
"Gu Feng, you see, my sister-in-law is a bit slow in making clothes by herself. Now it's a bit difficult with only a few people. If there are more people, we will definitely not be able to take care of it. Customers can't wait too long for a piece of clothing."
"You can find someone to help you, but they have to be reliable. What if they steal your blueprints? What if they don't do the job well and delay the work?"
"Stealing pictures is easy to say, but smart people won't do that. If they don't steal pictures, they can still have a long-term cooperation. Otherwise, they will cut off their own opportunities."
"There are not many people working on it now, so it will definitely be a hit once it's delivered. If we can't produce it in a short time, we might lose the initiative and others can take advantage of it."
"Why don't I go ask my aunt tomorrow? It seems like she's pretty good at making clothes. With my sister-in-law around, it should be no problem."
"Okay, you go take a look and make preparations in advance. You also need to communicate with your sister-in-law so that she won't have any objections."
"My sister-in-law probably won't do it. After all, she might not be able to do it alone. But we still need to make it clear."
Lu Wanwan talked to her sister-in-law about the general situation, and Zhang Xiaohua also understood that she was sure she couldn't handle it with so many people, and they couldn't wait too long.
Lu Wanwan said that if there was an order, she would contact her sister-in-law first and send it out if she was too busy to take care of it.
Early the next morning, Gu Feng went to knock on his uncle's door, and it was Gu Lang who opened the door.
"Gu Feng, why are you here?"
"I came to see my aunt for something."
"My mother is in the room, please go in by yourself."
"Gu Feng is here."
"Aunt, I want to ask you for help. Do you have time?"
"Just tell me what you want to say. I'm sure there's time."
"Wanwan wants to find someone to help make clothes. She'll pay 40% to 60% of the fabric and make it according to her drawings. I wonder if Auntie is willing."
"That's no problem, but I'm not sure if I can understand the blueprints."
"If you don't understand something, you can ask my sister-in-law. She is working on it now."
