City B is indeed a clothing city, with many merchants coming and going from all over the country.
Li Qiumei and her colleagues' small shop also welcomed several groups of customers who came to purchase goods.
Both wholesale and retail, the two people are very busy.
I have long forgotten what I said at the beginning, that I would return to North City within a month at the latest.
Bat-wing shirts look better with tight skirts and tight pants. When Ding Shengli heard that Li Qiumei could make such skirts and pants, he proposed to work together.
Li Qiumei agreed to a 50-50 split.
That day, an uninvited guest came to Qin Ruyue's stall.
"Girl, I heard from the tailor shop owner that you and our Qiu Mei are friends?"
Qin Ruyue looked at Hu Lanying suspiciously: "Auntie, who are you to Qiu Mei?"
Hu Lanying moved the basket to her other hand.
"I'm her mother!"
Qin Ruyue quickly asked Hu Lanying to sit down.
"Auntie, let me cook you a bowl of noodles first."
"Oh, no, that's not nice."
Hu Lanying declined politely and sat down.
"Girl, Qiu Mei hasn't gone back since she came to the provincial capital. The New Year is almost here, so I came to ask her to go home for the New Year.
She's not at the tailor shop, where did she go?"
"Aunt, Qiu Mei went to Hong Kong City."
Hu Lanying asked Qin Ruyue: "Is that place far? Which bus should I take to get there?"
When she heard clearly that the place was thousands of kilometers away from here, Hu Lanying covered her chest with her hands in anger.
"This damn girl must have been deceived by that Hua sister, and she might have been sold to an old bachelor as a wife.
Ouch, what a pig brain!
If I had known earlier, I would have found someone to marry her off to. It would have been better than being sold off."
After hearing this, Qin Ruyue finally understood why Li Qiumei was unwilling to take care of her parents.
Is this something a normal mother would say?
Hu Lanying cursed Li Qiumei for a long time, then picked up the bowl and started eating noodles.
While eating, he said, "Our family has such bad luck this year.
First, Qiu Mei disappeared, and then this morning a thief stole my money. I don't even have enough money to go home. What should I do?"
When Qin Ruyue heard this, she kindly gave Hu Lanying five dollars and asked her to take a bus back.
After sending Hu Lanying away, Cheng Zhiqian came again.
He asked Qin Ruyue: "Li Qiumei still hasn't written to you?"
Qin Ruyue sighed: "No, you said she and Sister Hua have been out for more than three months, and there is no news.
Should I report it to the police?
We agreed at the beginning that no matter whether it was done or not, I would come back at least one month later.
Now what do you say we should do?"
Cheng Zhiqian was silent. He had clearly left his phone number for Li Qiumei.
But she has never hit herself. This woman is really heartless.
Li Qiumei sneezed several times, and Yang Huaihua asked her, "Do you have a cold?"
Li Qiumei shook her head: “I guess someone scolded me.
Who could it be?
The Chinese New Year is almost here, so we two should go back early.
What if the snow is too heavy and we can’t go back?”
Yang Huaihua disagreed: "If we can't go back, we can just spend the New Year here. We don't have to go back anyway."
"That won't do! I still have my elder sister, my nephew, and Ruyue. I have to go back to visit them during the New Year."
Yang Huaihua took Li Qiumei's hand and said, "I don't have any family. I'll follow you wherever you go, okay?"
Li Qiumei nodded: "Okay."
Five days before the New Year, Li Qiumei and Yang Huaihua finally returned to North City.
At the back door of the community, they actually ran into Zhao Dongyan.
"Qiumei, is it really you?" Zhao Dongyan's face was full of disbelief.
The woman in front of him had long hair and fair skin. She wore a red beret on her head, a black woolen coat with a high-necked red sweater underneath, skinny pants, and a pair of black leather shoes.
"Qiumei, where did you buy this sweater and pants?
I don’t think this style is available in department stores.”
"Sister-in-law, I made it myself."
Zhao Dongyan pulled Li Qiumei and said, "Then make me an identical set."
"Sister-in-law, this sweater will take you a month to knit.
If you want to wear it during the Chinese New Year, you’ll have to wait until next year.”
Zhao Dongyan was a little disappointed: "It's almost the New Year, and the clothes in the department store are like free. You have to snatch everything.
I couldn’t get a red hat like yours, nor a woolen coat. I’m so angry.
No, I need to go to the department store again to see if the restock has arrived.
Qiu Mei, please help me send Rui Rui home. I'm going to the department store now."
Li Qiumei was about to say, "No."
Qian Rui held Zhao Dongyan's legs tightly, and Li Qiumei breathed a sigh of relief.
How could this be possible? Just to buy a hat, he even abandoned his child to others.
Zhao Dongyan was at a loss as to what to do with Qian Rui, so she had to carry her home angrily.
Yang Huaihua shook her head: "I see this woman has no patience for her daughter, she only cares about dressing herself up."
When the two returned to the house, Qin Ruyue had already returned to Beishan County.
The next day, Li Qiumei decided to buy some New Year's goods and go back to celebrate the New Year with her sister.
She and Yang Huaihua went out early to go shopping.
Today is Ma Li's birthday. She invited Cheng Zhiling and Lin Zhiya. Yang Yingsong brought Cheng Zhiqian with him.
They booked a banquet at the restaurant where they usually ate.
A few people were sitting and chatting when Zhu Zhu came over with a gift box.
