Chapter 245 Second Spring
After returning home, Su Jiaojiao did not tell Chen Guilan that she had gone into the water to save someone, but only said that she accidentally fell.
When Chen Guilan saw the gauze wrapped around her leg, she knew that she had fallen hard. She blamed her for being so careless at such a grown-up and told her not to touch water, not to run around anymore, and to take good care of herself at home.
It was still quite hot outside, and Su Jiaojiao had no plans to go out. She lay on the bed and called Yu Baolai, asking him when the goods would be shipped. Yu Baolai said that the goods were on the way and would arrive the next day or the day after tomorrow.
After the call, Su Jiaojiao sat down at her desk again, designing sweatshirts. The fabrics she'd chosen came in white, purple, and black, and she wanted to make them all one size fits all, or all women's styles, with embroidery on the chest for a more upscale look. She didn't like printed patterns, as they tended to crack over time, affecting both the aesthetic and the quality.
But the problem is that Ding Mei doesn't have an embroidery machine.
Jiali Garment Factory did have one, but she didn't want to trouble them, so the best way was to buy an embroidery machine.
After thinking about it, she called Liu Wenzhi again and asked him about the embroidery machine. Liu Wenzhi said that there was a sewing equipment factory in the provincial capital that had embroidery machines, and asked her to go to the provincial capital to take a look.
Su Jiaojiao didn't want to go to the provincial capital, so she asked if there was any in Qingyuan. Liu Wenzhi thought about it and said that there might be some in Qingyuan, but he didn't know where exactly.
When mentioning Qingyuan, Su Jiaojiao thought of Qin Shuang.
She almost forgot about this. Qin Shuang must know where to buy embroidery machines. After chatting with Liu Wenji for a while, she called Qin Shuang again. Qin Shuang joked with her, "Why don't you stay at Aunt Qin's place for a night when you come to Qingyuan?"
"I came back because I had something to do." Su Jiaojiao asked directly about the embroidery machine. Qin Shuang smiled and said, "You are a lucky girl. I just happen to have an idle embroidery machine here. I'll give it to you if you want to use it."
"Thank you, Aunt Qin. We're just doing business, so we still have to pay." Su Jiaojiao first thought of Liu Ming and asked him to go to Qingyuan and bring back the embroidery machine. "Well, I'll have someone go and bring the embroidery machine back tomorrow. You put it in the account, and I'll have him take the money over."
"Okay, then give me five hundred yuan!" Qin Shuang was always straightforward and didn't argue with her.
Su Jiaojiao went to the workshop downstairs to find Ding Mei and told her about making sweatshirts. Ding Mei was not surprised. She knew that Su Jiaojiao would definitely not be idle this summer vacation. Now there are two assembly lines in the workshop, and it will not be a problem to set up another one.
What a hoodie needs is a flatbed sewing machine, and she has both.
Su Jiaojiao didn't write down the production process, so she couldn't produce samples for the time being. She only told Ding Mei that she needed Liu Ming to go to Qingyuan to buy an embroidery machine. Ding Mei happily agreed: "Just let him go."
Liu Ming was very happy to hear this: "Brother is also going on a business trip."
Su Jiaojiao gave him 700 yuan, which included the money for the embroidery machine and travel expenses. She repeatedly told Liu Ming, "From now on, this embroidery machine is yours. When you get to Qinji Garment Factory, you must debug the machine and learn how to operate it from the master. There won't be anyone to guide you when you return."
"Don't worry about me taking care of things." Liu Ming patted his chest to assure her. Cai Ting followed Liu Ming to learn how to make samples and told Su Jiaojiao that she wanted to go too, saying that she had never been to Qingyuan.
"Ask Sister Ding. If she asks you to go, then go." Su Jiaojiao patted her. "Come to my house this weekend. I have something to discuss with you and Sister Xiaohong."
After settling these, Su Jiaojiao went upstairs to continue writing about the production process. The production process of sweatshirts is not difficult to write about, and the main thing is to work hard on the style and color matching.
And there are few auxiliary materials, just a back collar fixing strip.
Until dinner time, she was still in the room thinking about her production process and style. Chen Guilan made her favorite braised pork trotters, saying that eating is nourishing and can replenish her injured leg.
Su Jiaojiao said that she should eat pig brains to nourish her brain.
Just after finishing the meal, Liang Kun and Peng Shumei arrived. They were both smiling and seemed to be in a good mood. As soon as they entered the door, Liang Kun said to Su Jiaojiao with a gossipy look on his face: "Jiaojiao, you will have a grandfather soon."
Su Jiaojiao was confused.
"We were just laughing for a long time at home, and I couldn't help but come over to tell you." Liang Kun laughed again, "The old lady has been in the hospital these two days. She fell in love with an old man in the ward and said she wanted to live with him. The old man agreed and even took the initiative to take care of the old lady!"
The mother and daughter looked at each other.
Is this true or false?
"It's true, I promise." Liang Kun smiled, "The old lady said that we don't have a single filial son here. They were reluctant to stay by the bed. She said that if they get together, we won't have to take care of them if they have a headache or fever in the future."
"Is your mother willing?" Chen Guilan found it unbelievable. Xu Yuxiang was already 65 years old, and was still looking for a partner?
"Of course she doesn't want to, but her words don't count." Liang Kun said disapprovingly, "My dad said that we should respect the wishes of the elderly. If we really get along well, we can just live together!"
"Where is the old man from?" Chen Guilan was very curious.
"He's from a nearby village. I heard he works the boiler." Liang Kun found out a lot. "He makes three hundred yuan a month, with a free lunch. He thinks he's got a high salary, so he tricked the old lady into giving him a hard time."
After all, she was her ex-mother-in-law, so Chen Guilan didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions.
Su Jiaojiao didn't ask, she was not interested.
Su Houli and Gao Meifeng had a huge quarrel at home.
Su Houli felt that his mother had a hard time, having been a widow for so many years. If she was willing to live with the old man, he would not object.
Gao Meifeng disagreed: "It's hard enough to support your mother, and I'll have to support your stepfather in the future. Do you think our life isn't poor enough?"
"Why are you saying such harsh things?" Su Houli thought Gao Meifeng was making a big deal out of nothing. "She has a job and two daughters, so why should we support her? Besides, my brother and sister-in-law have agreed, so why should we object?"
"So what you're saying is that we should each support our own children from now on?" Gao Meifeng felt that Su Houli was still too foolishly filial. "If it were you, you should have stood with your brother and opposed this matter. But you actually listened to your mother. You really are good sons."
Su Houde didn't say a word and just did whatever Feng Yuefen said. If Su Houli also agreed to this, Xu Yuxiang would really get together with that old man. It would be so embarrassing!
"It depends on whether our sister is willing or not. You should stay out of it." Su Houli was very impatient. "If this matter was left to Chen Guilan, she wouldn't ask about it."
"Don't compare her to me!" Gao Meifeng was furious. "If you still want her, go live with her."
