Chapter 297: Cousin's Marriage
Su Jiaojiao stayed in bed for three days, until the day before the Chinese New Year, when she was fully recovered.
Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out. She felt that she could now go out and run ten kilometers. Chen Guilan also breathed a sigh of relief: "You fell ill because you were too tired. Don't work so hard in the future."
She knew her daughter and thought she must have been busy with shipping something and didn't get enough rest.
I took the train all night and got a fever due to overwork.
"I just have a cold, not tired." Su Jiaojiao had only had some millet porridge for the past three days and had lost a lot of weight. Now she had a big appetite and felt like she could eat two big bowls of rice. She urged Chen Guilan to cook, "I want braised pork ribs and prawns."
Delicious food makes people happy.
Forget all your worries!
"I'll make it right away." Chen Guilan went to the kitchen in a good mood. "As long as you're well, I'll make whatever you want to eat."
While Chen Guilan was cooking in the kitchen, Su Jiaojiao was sitting at the desk drawing patterns and writing production process sheets.
After the New Year, she planned to go to the Qifa Garment Factory in Mocheng to place a large order for jeans. If the price was right, she wanted to make 100,000 pairs and sell them wholesale at the Electronic Family Compound.
We start placing orders in the first month of the lunar year, and the earliest we can get the goods is mid-February. At that time, in order to prepare for the May Day peak, retailers are getting the goods, mainly jeans, which can be sold until winter.
Just get it done before winter.
Don’t worry about the inventory pressure, you can continue selling next year.
She also believes that the jeans she designed will definitely sell well because these styles have been popular for many years and have remained popular.
Straight-leg pants, high-elastic pants, daddy pants, and skinny pants are practical and fashionable, and are definitely bestsellers.
In fact, wholesale is the most profitable business in clothing. Although retail can make more money, the payback is slow. But compared with wholesale, it is better to take orders.
When placing an order, you can design the style and choose the color yourself, and it is the real factory price.
Apart from anything else, if she makes the order herself, even if she saves fifty cents per piece compared to buying from the manufacturer, one hundred thousand pieces will be fifty thousand yuan, so don't underestimate these fifty cents.
To do big business, you have to start small.
The last pair of jeans she bought from Qifa Garment Factory cost her eight dollars and ninety cents, so as long as she could keep the cost within eight dollars and ninety cents, she would make another profit.
Whether it can succeed depends on the sincerity of Qifa Garment Factory.
She's a big client!
Chen Guilan’s braised spareribs were very successful, with good color, aroma and flavor, soft and tasty. The prawns were cooked directly in the pot and were also delicious.
Su Jiaojiao didn't dare to eat too much. People who have been hungry for a long time cannot eat too much because it will cause poor digestion.
After dinner, the mother and daughter sat on the sofa to drink tea and chat. She had been ill a few days ago, and Chen Guilan kept asking her if she was hungry or thirsty, but they didn't say a few words to her.
Perhaps because she lived close to Chen Guichang's home, Chen Guilan talked more about their family matters.
Chen Ju's marriage was also settled. The man was a regular employee of the winery, an only child. His parents were farmers in the countryside and lived a well-off life.
"That's pretty good." Su Jiaojiao had to admire her uncle. At least he found partners for his daughters who worked in good companies and were formal employees.
"I just think the boy's mother is a powerful person, and your second cousin has such a soft personality. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get along in the future."
Chen Guilan has met Chen Ju's future mother-in-law. As someone who has been through it, she feels deeply, "Although you live your life as a couple after marriage, it can be very troublesome if you don't get along well with your mother-in-law. A man is a good man and can protect his wife once or twice, but he can't protect her forever. Over time, it will definitely affect the relationship between the couple."
"Yes!" Su Jiaojiao looked at the tea leaves rising and falling in the tea bowl, thoughtfully.
"Your second cousin is old enough now and has decided to get married on May Day this year." Chen Guilan looked at Su Jiaojiao and said with emotion, "Seeing that your generation of kids have grown up and are talking about marriage, I always feel that you are still a child. But after the New Year, you will be 21 years old. After you graduate from college, it's time for you to find a partner."
"And there are my cousin Chen Jiang and cousin Chen Juan, why should I be in a hurry?" Su Jiaojiao just smiled.
"By the way, your cousin Chen Jiang has a girlfriend too, but your aunt doesn't agree." Although it was just the two of them at home, Chen Guilan still lowered her voice and said, "Your cousin's girlfriend is a waiter in his shop, and she's from our village. Her name is Cheng Yu. Remember, she was your elementary school classmate?"
"I remember." Su Jiaojiao and Cheng Yu used to be desk mates. Cheng Yu was like a tomboy, with a loud voice and great strength. When she was little, she often fought with male classmates, but it became rare after she grew up. No one knew what she looked like now.
"Your aunt dislikes Cheng Yu because she's from the countryside and doesn't act like a woman. She definitely doesn't agree." Chen Guilan said, feeling thirsty, and poured herself a cup of tea. "Your cousin, on the other hand, really likes her. He's been arguing with your aunt about this for the past few days. Your cousin seems like a very honest man, so how could he like a girl like that? I really can't understand."
Su Jiaojiao: “…”
Why tell her this? She doesn't want to hear it at all.
As the mother and the two were talking, Chen Mei and Chen Ju came, carrying a bag of apples, and said they came to see Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao was very surprised about what happened during the time she was away. It seemed that her uncle's family suddenly became close to them.
"I've recovered a long time ago, I just had a cold." Su Jiaojiao stood up and poured tea for her two cousins.
After they sat down, they chatted about this and that and talked about Chen Jiang.
Chen Ju was fine, but Chen Mei was particularly angry: "I suspect that Cheng Yu went to work at the hotel just for Chen Jiang. She saw that Chen Jiang was capable and deliberately tried to get close to him. How could Chen Jiang withstand such a flirtation?"
As she spoke, Chen Mei glared at Chen Ju again: "You too, hanging around the store all day without keeping an eye on things. Now look what's happened, you've made the whole family unhappy."
"We are the only two women in the store. How can I keep an eye on them?" Chen Ju felt aggrieved. "I'm in the kitchen and she's at the front desk. I can't always keep an eye on them."
"It's not Xiaoju's fault. It's impossible to stop something like this." Chen Guilan immediately tried to smooth things over. "You can't stop them too much. The more you try, the harder it will be to separate them."
Su Jiaojiao raised her eyelids but said nothing.
Pour tea for them quietly.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, but Jiaojiao is getting prettier. College is really good for you. If I saw her on the street, I wouldn't recognize her." Chen Mei brought the topic back to Su Jiaojiao. "Among all my cousins, Jiaojiao has the best skin."
"Staying in the classroom all day will naturally make you pale." Su Jiaojiao smiled. She didn't want them to focus on her, so she took the initiative to ask Chen Mei, "Sister, how is your company doing recently?" "They said they were moving somewhere else, but they haven't found a good place yet." Chen Mei sighed, "If they move too far away, I won't go with you."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. You can go to the restaurant to help out, so you don't have to ask outsiders for help." Chen Ju was very optimistic.
Chen Mei rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm not going. I get angry when I see that Cheng Yu. It's either her or me!"
Su Jiaojiao was puzzled.
How dare Cheng Yu marry into such a family?
