Chapter 72 Red is the popular color!
It's November now and the midterm exams are coming.
During this period, all the senior students were very focused, and Hang Jingshu was no exception. He would recite as soon as he opened his eyes, and could even cut into the rhythm of English while cutting vegetables.
The arrival of the midterm exam means that the college entrance examination progress bar has passed a quarter.
There will be a pre-exam in May next year, and the time left for everyone is getting less and less. Everyone feels the urgency.
With his head lowered and raised again, from dawn to dusk, Hang Jingshu completely turned into a spinning top, spinning back and forth non-stop.
Although his memories of senior high school overlapped with the present after he relived his life, Hang Jingshu still did not let his guard down.
Studying is like sailing against the current. If you don’t take studying seriously just to gain an advantage, you can’t blame others if the final result is not what you want.
Every exam was a step towards progress. Hang Jingshu worked hard to climb up step by step, and cooking became a real time to relax.
During this period, I got up early and went to bed late. Only after the midterm exam did the tension in my mind finally relax.
During this period of time, Hang Jingshu organized all the fragmented time. In his spare time, he was either memorizing or reading, or reading through the notebook his brother sent him. In short, he didn't have any free time at all.
The results were both good and bad.
The good thing is that I had a lot of ease in this midterm exam, and even math became familiar to me.
The bad side is even more obvious. The girl gets up earlier and goes to bed later during this period. She is like a bow with a fully drawn string. All the fat that she had built up with great difficulty has fallen off completely.
He returned to the thin look he had when he first came to Yan's house, but fortunately he didn't get darker.
Seeing the little girl's dark circles under her eyes that were about to droop down to her chin, the two elders of the Yan family and Yu Lihong felt very distressed. Grandma Yan even gave a direct order: "You are not allowed to get up until 9 o'clock tomorrow!"
It was Sunday after the exam, and Hang Jingshu had a rare chance to sleep in. After getting up and stretching, he felt refreshed all over.
The evergreen pine trees outside the window are still dark green. The morning sunlight is shallow and soft, shining through the glass, leaving shadows of varying shades on the bed, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere in the room.
The room where Hang Jingshu lived was not big, but the bed was very soft. In an era when everyone slept on flat beds, even the nanny room in the Yan family could have a mattress, and there was a small bedside cabinet next to it.
Further forward is a wooden five-layer drawer for storing clothes and other sundries. There are also two hooks at the door for hanging clothes.
Because Hang Jingshu still needed to study, Grandma Yan bought her a set of tables and chairs, so that the small room of 8 or 9 square meters was fully equipped.
There is no such thing as a four-piece bedding set nowadays. The single plaid bed sheet was brought by Hang Jingshu from home, and there was a notebook sent by his brother on the bedside table.
The heating started in mid-November, and the whole room is cozy. In winter, fingers no longer become frozen and swollen and painful like radishes. Hang Jingshu is really content.
Every child in the countryside has had frostbite on their hands, especially parents who often work in the fields. Their hands are chapped and cracked from the frostbite, and even if it hurts, they are reluctant to buy clam oil to rub them.
Fortunately, everything is getting better now.
When he was leaving the house, he happened to run into Yu Lihong who was cleaning. She smiled when she saw Hang Jingshu and said, "Xiao Hang, get up. I've left tofu pudding in the pot for you. Come and eat it!"
"Okay, thank you Sister Hong!"
Every morning, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan would go out for a walk, and Hang Jingshu would start preparing lunch as soon as he got up.
First, stew some pork elbow in a casserole, and then make some braised pork that Grandma Yan likes. Today, while the weather is good, I can also plant the garlic and rapeseed that I prepared long ago, so that I can eat garlic sprouts by the end of the month.
When Hang Jingshu went out in the afternoon, he saw Wang Silan waiting for him at the door, pushing a bicycle.
It’s really strange, how come it’s always just right?
Hang Jingshu ran over happily and asked curiously, "Mom, how do you know when I come out every time?"
Since Wang Silan started her business, she has become more quick-witted and active, so she naturally knows how to get news that is beneficial to her.
"This is not that simple. Master Hou has a good memory!"
With just a pack of cigarettes, Wang Silan could know the approximate time when the lady would appear, so it was no big deal to wait a little longer here while pushing her bike.
Today is Sunday. If the girl didn't come out in the morning, she will definitely come out in the afternoon. Wang Silan came here to wait for her after dinner.
The mother and daughter talked about business together. This time, Wang Silan took her daughter back on a bicycle, and they talked about the purchase of goods from Chouzhou halfway.
When she got home, Wang Silan couldn't wait to take out the new goods, which were two small wallets that felt very good to the touch.
Hang Jingshu was very surprised: "Mom, this is also from Chouzhou?"
Wang Silan knew from the lady's expression that the two wallets were the right ones. She lowered her voice and whispered to the lady, "When I was buying goods in Chouzhou, I met someone selling wallets in Wenzhou, so I asked about the price."
Wang Silan made a gesture to her daughter, and the purchase price of this small wallet was 2.5 yuan.
The wallet is not big and flat, and is fixed with four-claw corner nails on the four sides. The warm black and brown colors make it look like a standard item for successful people.
Wenzhou and Chouzhou are not far from each other, about a hundred kilometers away. Hang Jingshu thought that if he wanted to purchase goods, it would definitely be cheaper at the place of origin.
Wang Silan also agreed with this idea: "I thought so too. I wanted to buy a batch of wallets and purses to sell before the Chinese New Year."
Hang Jingshu lowered his head and looked at the wallet in his hand again, but he was thinking about other things in his mind. It was almost the end of the year, and by then not only would small commodities be selling well, but this kind of wallet would definitely not be selling badly either.
Another important point is that the movie about the red dress will be released soon. By then, everything from dresses to high heels, hats and hair accessories will be in the red trend.
If only I could get a batch of red wallets of various sizes...
You must have made a fortune!
The news that the leather factory owner and his sister-in-law ran away was spread as a joke, but in this day and age, it is still a real luggage production base.
However, he couldn't tell Wang Silan directly about this, so Hang Jingshu could only change the way he put it and suggested, "Mom, I think the Chinese New Year is a festive occasion, so why not buy some red wallets, and even belts can be sold."
Wang Silan thought the lady's suggestion was a good one. Nowadays, all women in the city are working professionals. Who doesn't want to have a prosperous New Year?
The merchant also had a red wallet in his hand, but Wang Silan did not buy it because she thought it was not insured. Now it seems that the lady was right.
The business was started by the daughter of a noble family. Wang Silan had great confidence in her vision and made the decision: "After we sell out this time, we will go to Wenzhou to purchase more goods. We will make a fortune before the New Year!"
