When little An'an was one month old, Linglong had just come out of confinement. The Zheng family did not hold a big banquet to celebrate, but just sat down together as a family to have a meal.
Zheng Tiansen also used a camera to find many full-moon photos for his daughter.
When the photos were developed, family members rushed to get them first. There were many photos of An An displayed in the compound.
Zheng Tianbao, who was far away in the south, did not come back to attend his niece's full moon banquet, but he sent a gift.
These gifts also touched Linglong's heart.
Zheng Tianbao sent imported baby bottles and some baby diapers from the port city.
Although diapers can only be used for a period of time, they greatly reduce the frequency of washing diapers at home.
Using diapers for a long time is actually not good for babies.
Because the baby's skin is delicate, if the diaper is worn for a long time, the skin will be affected, and it will either turn red or get prickly heat.
The way to avoid this is to change diapers frequently, but Linglong and the others don’t have many diapers, so that’s not possible.
It is best to use it occasionally when sleeping at night. Adults will get up less often at night, and children will not wet the mattress and sheets with urine.
One month after Linglong left the confinement room, she heard good news.
On December 1st, the Ministry of Commerce announced to the whole country that it would open up the supply of cotton cloth and cotton wadding and cancel cloth coupons.
As soon as the news came out, the people were excited and spread the news.
Whether in the city or in the countryside, cloth coupons were extremely scarce.
Especially in the countryside, I don’t know how many people go for years without making a new set of clothes.
The older ones in the family wore altered old clothes, while the younger ones wore leftovers from the older ones. The clothes were constantly altered and patched for another three years.
In the countryside, it is a matter of great honor to be able to go out wearing a new set of clothes without any patches.
The cancellation of cloth coupons also allowed Linglong to see huge markets and business opportunities.
Without restrictions on cloth coupons, many people could spend more freely on clothes.
It can also promote the birth and development of private clothing workshops and corporate factories.
Because of this news, she even went out specially to have a good chat with Xiao Jiang.
The severe crackdown improved social atmosphere, and the cancellation of cloth coupons also represented the direction of economic policy.
Their clothing store can expand again.
When they opened the second store, they waited for a long time, but when they opened the third store, the opportunity had already come.
With the experience of opening a new store, Xiao Jiang is no longer unfamiliar with it.
Knowing that his sister-in-law Linglong still had to breastfeed and could not go out for a long time, he took on the task of opening the new store Ye Yili.
After inspecting a good place, inform Linglong to make a decision.
There are also new store employees. They can be recruited, trained and put on the job first.
As the saying goes, "The first time is new, the second time is familiar." This time, Sister Luo also took on the main responsibility. As the earliest veteran employee of their clothing store, Sister Luo was no longer just responsible for the duties of a store manager. Matters such as recruiting new employees and training them for their posts were basically handed over to her.
Of course, Sister Luo can do more work and earn more money, and neither Linglong nor Xiaojiang will treat her unfairly.
Linglong still plans to buy a storefront for the new store instead of renting one.
They have enough money to expand new stores. In the long run, it is more cost-effective to buy than to rent.
In a few months, Zheng Tianxin's child will be born. Xiao Jiang, who is about to become a father, is now very motivated to make money and wants to give his wife and children a better life.
As for choosing a store, he picked out several within a few days.
This is also due to the fact that more and more people are doing business now, and the market has become more active.
With the targets to choose from and compare, Linglong went out for a trip. After looking at them all, she made a decision in her mind.
Pay money, buy a shop, sign a contract, and go through the formalities.
After completing a set of procedures, they had another store.
The second store was originally registered under Linglong's name.
Linglong registered this new store under Xiaojiang's name, for which Xiaojiang was very grateful.
Linglong always emphasized that he contributed more to the store, but he knew in his heart that without Linglong's guidance, he would never have been able to embark on this journey.
Maybe he is still farming in the countryside, and it is impossible for him to marry a wife like Zheng Tianxin.
It can be said that his current good life is brought to him by his sister-in-law Linglong.
However, Linglong did things for his own good, so he respected and trusted her even more.
Once the store is ready, we need to find a decorator. Linglong has only determined the general design plan and will refer to the second store. We don't have to worry about anything else.
While the new store was still under renovation, little An An’s birthday also arrived.
On that day, Linglong and her family went to a photo studio and took a lot of photos.
Linglong’s favorite is the photo of their family of four.
In the photo, the husband is wearing a neat and smart military uniform, with his son Congcong sitting on his lap.
䀴She held her daughter in her arms, and the four of them smiled happier than each other.
There was no big celebration at home on the 2nd, but little An An received another batch of gifts.
As soon as her daughter's birthday came, she went back to work.
However, it is already January in the Gregorian calendar, less than a month away from the Chinese New Year.
As soon as she arrived at the office, everyone praised her good complexion.
Because there were not many days left before the Chinese New Year holiday, her leaders and colleagues took care of her and did not assign her any work.
The only thing she has to do now at the company is to continue learning from her master, Mr. Wei.
When it was time for lunch, she quickly got on her bike and rode home.
She started working just as Congcong was on winter vacation, so she didn't have to worry about picking up and dropping off the child.
As soon as I got home, the nanny had already prepared the meal and I could eat it right away while it was steaming hot.
The confinement aunt took good care of An An, and when she came back she only needed to feed him.
There is a refrigerator at home. When she goes out in the morning, she will squeeze out some milk. When her daughter is hungry, she asks the aunt to heat it up and put it in a bottle for her daughter to drink.
After having lunch and feeding her baby at noon, she can also take a nap before going back to work.
Just remember to express some milk before leaving so that her daughter won’t be hungry before she gets off work.
Knowing that she has two people at home to help take care of the children and do housework, her colleagues at work are very envious.
Little An An has grown up a little and knows how to judge people and can be amused.
When Congcong was in school, he always showed off to his classmates that he had a very cute sister.
When he gets home, he likes to play with his younger sister the most. He feels a sense of accomplishment when he sees his younger sister having fun because of him playing tricks.
Seeing that his son was acting like an older brother, Zheng Tiansen praised him several times.
I just talked about it with Linglong occasionally, and she told me not to worry about Congcong being mentally unbalanced because of the birth of his sister.
In fact, it’s not just Congcong, Zheng Tiansen also likes to play with his daughter.
In front of his daughter, he doesn't care about face or burdens at all.
Zheng Tianxin, who was pregnant, rarely saw another side of her brother and expressed her feelings to Linglong.
"The magic of being a father is really great."
"Who says it's not? Wait until the baby comes out of your belly and you'll see how Xiao Jiang changes."
"Then I'm really looking forward to it."
The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other and smiled.
