Chapter 31 Buy Your Ideas
After Yan Chengan finished speaking, both of them fell silent.
Gu Zhengguo never thought that what a great future a little nanny could have.
But seeing how desperately Hang Jingshu was trying, it seemed as if nothing was impossible.
Especially since she is so young.
College students are in great demand these days and can be assigned jobs right after graduation. I heard that Xiaohang's brother is studying in Beijing now.
I can't say that my future will be bright and successful, but at least I have a place to go.
Don’t want to be yourself…
Thinking of this, Gu Zhengguo's eyes dimmed. He was not as motivated as a little nanny.
If Hang Jingshu had a city hukou, he could have found a good job in the city with some money from his family, not to mention graduating from high school, even if he had just graduated from junior high school.
But in the small mountain village where Hang Jingshu lived, there was no such opportunity at all.
Even if rural people can settle down in the city, their various problems cannot be solved if their household registration is not confirmed.
Yan Chengan understood Gu Zhengguo's awkwardness and looked over at him, "Why don't you two study together?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you know what kind of study I do," Gu Zhengguo shook his head like a wave drum. He had a psychological shadow when talking about studying.
Seeing this, Yan Chengan's gaze returned to the newspaper. The morning light was soft, and a faint golden glow fell on the two people, making them look like small animals with a layer of furry golden edges.
Today, Hang Jingshu and her sisters made an appointment to go out. After breakfast, they packed up and prepared to go out.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Gu, I'm going to the shopping mall. Is there anything I need to buy?" Hang Jingshu was about to go out and saw two people sitting in the living room, so he asked.
Unexpectedly, when Yan Cheng'an heard this, he stood up very seriously, walked quickly to Hang Jingshu, and handed her a note.
"This is your weak area in the subject. You can go to the bookstore to look for the books I listed for you. If conditions permit, you can also buy tapes to listen to."
"Then I'll go to the bookstore first. Thank you, Mr. Yan!" Hang Jingshu carefully held the note and thanked Yan Chengan.
Yan Chengan simply nodded in response and then continued to lean on the sofa and read the newspaper.
Hang Jingshu was of course happy that his academic level was recognized.
It was almost the end of September, and this time, Hang Jingshu planned to buy some things and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cotton.
It is difficult to survive the winter in the north without cotton-padded clothes. Down jackets are not available yet, so Hang Jingshu plans to make a cotton-padded coat and send it to his third brother.
When going out, Hang Jingshu put on the sweater jacket he had knitted himself.
Nowadays, outerwear is either a denim jacket or a close-fitting sweater. Hang Jingshu knitted this sweater jacket herself, with a simple pattern and a fresh and natural beige and blue color combination.
I chose a wide style, which makes me look easy-going and generous when I wear it.
"Wow, Xiaohang, your coat is so nice! Where did you buy it?" Wang Xiaowen's eyes lit up when she saw the coat Hang Jingshu was wearing.
There is no girl who doesn't love beauty. In this era, new styles of clothes can quickly cause a trend.
"I knitted it myself. I thought it would be difficult to put on clothes inside the tight-fitting fabric, so I put a little more thread in it." Hang Jingshu did not intend to say that this was his own idea.
That seems more normal.
"It's really beautiful. I'll remember the look and knit one to wear later." Wang Xiaowen is in her early twenties, an age when she pursues fashion and loves beauty.
I heard from her that her family has started introducing her to someone, so maybe she will have to go home and get married someday.
It won’t be so easy to see you again in the future.
Sun Shulan has her own affiliation, but the little warriors in the compound are not allowed to have any other factors that may affect the mission while they are performing their mission.
Therefore, even if the two of them had the intention, they had to wait for a legitimate opportunity.
Hang Jingshu's situation is much simpler. Now he only thinks about studying and making money, and everything else is just a passing cloud.
The three sisters took a bus to the shopping mall in the city center again. There were more infrastructure here than the last time.
As expected, in the 1980s, the renewal rate of cities was measured in seconds.
"I heard that the shopping mall in front is going to install an escalator. It sounds high-end," Wang Xiaowen said, looking at the shopping mall under construction not far away, her face full of anticipation.
"It's not difficult. Just come back when the time comes," Hang Jingshu answered casually, but his eyes were already drifting towards the bookstore.
"Oh, maybe I would have gone home and got married by then," Wang Xiaowen said sadly.
"My mother also wrote to ask me to go back, but I have to go on blind dates again during the Spring Festival this year," Sun Shulan was also very distressed about this. Her family is in Sichuan Province, and most of the girls in the mountains get engaged very early.
People like Sun Shulan are rare.
Nowadays, you can't just say no to blind dates. Parents usually make the decisions, and it's not uncommon for two people to get married after just a few meetings.
"Xiao Hang, your family didn't introduce anyone to you," Wang Xiaowen asked curiously when she saw Hang Jingshu lowering his head and keeping silent.
"How could this be? I've only been working for a month and my mom already wants to introduce me to someone." Faced with such a dilemma, the three girls were helpless.
"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this. Let's go shopping first!" Wang Xiaowen is an optimist. She hasn't gone home yet anyway, so the most important thing is to dress herself up.
Maybe you'll meet your soulmate around the corner.
Many trendy shops have opened in the city center, which is gradually becoming a world of ready-made clothes. Some once popular tailor shops are now deserted.
The three of them walked around slowly hand in hand, and several people came over to ask about Hang Jingshu's clothes. This was a very novel experience for them.
Some girls were wearing coats that looked very expensive, while others were only wearing thin clothes.
There are fashionable young men and women on the street, as well as ragged migrant workers, and passers-by in plain or elegant clothes.
A newly opened coffee and snack shop in a small city, with workers in work clothes of all kinds.
People strolling on the streets form a colorful picture unique to the era.
Hang Jingshu was thinking about those books, while Wang Xiaowen was focusing on the clothes in the clothing store.
The three people each had their own focus, so they simply continued with their previous strategy and went around separately.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, Hang Jingshu heard someone calling him.
"Xiao Hang!"
Hang Jingshu turned around and found that it was Wang Xiaowen who was calling someone. The person standing behind her was someone Hang Jingshu actually knew.
It was the girl who angrily scolded the ungrateful man in the compound that day.
"Xiao Hang, the owner said your coat looks nice and wanted to ask you how you made it!" Wang Xiaowen waved at Hang Jingshu excitedly and couldn't wait to pull Hang Jingshu over to talk.
"I just made it casually. I didn't expect that a sweater that doesn't fit can look so good," Hang Jingshu didn't expect that this girl had such a keen sense of smell.
"Hello Xiaohang, I'm Liu Kangyuan. I think the sweater jacket you're wearing is very beautiful. Do you have the drawings?" Liu Kangyuan was wearing a white windbreaker, and you could tell from its condition that it was definitely not a cheap item.
"I just made it casually. Sorry, I don't have a drawing." Hang Jingshu didn't expect to see her here again.
"How about this, you lend me this coat, I'll make a pattern for you and give you a certain fee, is that ok with you?" Liu Kangyuan was not giving up, as the pattern of this coat was particularly good.
If she can keep the pattern, she is confident that it will be a big seller!
