Chapter 459 Cousin and Cousin-law
Cai Ting came early the next morning. She was there to deliver a car. Her father was driving a tractor behind her, pulling a cart of cabbage and potatoes.
When the father and daughter entered the door, Su Jiaojiao was still asleep. She knew that Cai Ting was coming to deliver the car today, but she didn't expect her to come so early.
Chen Guilan had gotten up long ago and invited the father and daughter to sit down. She then went to wake Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao had slept late the previous night and was still groggy when she was woken. Cai Ting walked in with a smile, "Happy New Year, beautiful lady."
"Happy New Year." Su Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes. "Why are you here so early?"
"I was worried you might need the car, so I sent it here." Cai Ting sat down on the chair in front of the bed, crossing her legs. "I originally wanted to send it to you before the New Year, but I caught a cold the day after I got home. My back and waist ached and I couldn't drive. You don't know, your car was parked in our alley. My parents couldn't sleep well at night, worried it would be stolen or scratched. They wrapped it tightly in plastic wrap. I won't dare drive your car home anymore."
Chen Guilan treated Cai Ting's father to tea in the living room. "It's Chinese New Year, and I'm so sorry to have you come all this way."
"I dare not delay the boss's use of the car." Cai Ting's father was a little restrained, looking at the clean living room at a loss. Although he was wearing a brand new cotton jacket, cotton pants and new shoes, his feet were still covered with mud, and he didn't even know to change his shoes.
"It's okay. We don't have any extra slippers at home." Chen Guilan saw his embarrassment and said, "I'm from the countryside too. I don't have to be so particular. I'll just put on some."
The family prepared a pair of men's slippers for Lu Jingyou.
She washed them and put them in the shoe cabinet, so she didn't take them out for Cai Ting's father to wear.
When Su Jiaojiao learned that Cai Ting's father had arrived, she immediately got up, dressed, and came out: "Happy New Year, Uncle."
"Happy New Year." Cai Ting's father smiled innocently when he saw Su Jiaojiao, "Sorry to bother you guys."
"No, it's time to get up." Su Jiaojiao sat down and said to Chen Guilan, "They must not have eaten yet. Let's have breakfast together!"
"Okay, I'll make it right away." Chen Guilan went to the kitchen with a smile on her face. She had made a lot of dumplings yesterday and hadn't cooked them yet. It was just right to eat them together.
"No need, we'll go back now." Cai Ting felt embarrassed, and her father waved his hands repeatedly, "We're not hungry, we can just go back and eat."
"It's okay. Why are you being so polite to us? It's just a simple meal." Su Jiaojiao said to Cai Ting with a smile, "I just happened to need something from you. Since you're here, let's discuss it."
"The boss wants to see you, so listen carefully," Cai Ting's father said to her. "This is work, so don't be careless."
The new house at home is being built, and we still have to rely on Cai Ting’s salary to send back for future expenses!
He asked around and found out that no one had a higher salary than Cai Ting. He was very proud and now he looked at Su Jiaojiao as if he was looking at the God of Wealth.
"I took some time to design a windbreaker before the New Year, both long and short styles. I plan to have it made at Qimei. You stay and follow up on this order with my mother, and then you can take my mother back with you around May Day." Although Su Jiaojiao has been eating and sleeping and doing nothing these two days, she is still thinking about fashion design.
She is not a professional, she only has memory. In addition to jeans, floral shirts, baseball jackets, sweatshirts and tweed coats are classic and popular styles, as well as windbreakers.
The woolen coat has not been put into production because of a problem at Fangji Factory No. 2 and there is no supply of fabric. Now we have missed the season and can only make plans after half a year.
Now, apart from the large inventory of jeans, the inventory of other styles in Wudaokou is not much. Although small orders will not squeeze the inventory, the real money-making ones are still the big orders.
Large orders are easy to imitate and prone to inventory pressure, but the advantages of large orders are incomparable to small orders. Once a large order becomes a hit, the sales volume will be astonishing.
The spring and autumn style trench coat, one of the few classic fashions in her memory, is about to make its debut.
"No problem." Following orders was a piece of cake for Cai Ting. "Whatever you say, I'll do it. I promise to bring your aunt to the capital for you."
"Okay, that's settled. If you have nothing to do, come to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and we'll go look at fabrics together." Su Jiaojiao had already thought about it and ordered the fabrics from Fenghua Textile Factory. "I asked Qi Mei, and she will be working on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Besides, Mr. Kang said that we don't have to wait in line for orders and can start production at any time."
After all, she is Qi Mei's old customer.
Mr. Kang still gave this little face.
"Okay, I'll come over on the eighth day of the New Year." Cai Ting agreed happily.
While the two were chatting, Chen Guilan had already cooked the dumplings and mixed two plates of cold dishes, cucumber, pork head and ham sausage. In fact, they had not touched several plates of yesterday's leftovers, but she was too embarrassed to serve them.
"It's such a hassle." Cai Ting's father felt embarrassed to eat. He originally planned to put down the cabbage and leave, but he didn't want to be kept here for breakfast.
Chen Guilan was very enthusiastic and placed two plates of dumplings in front of him. "Brother, the two children get along well, we are just like a family. Cai Ting is just like my own daughter in front of me. Don't be shy, just eat as much as you can."
"We're happy that the boss praised her," Cai Ting's father chuckled. Cai Ting said with a smile, "Auntie makes the best dumplings. My dad will definitely brag to my mom about them after he eats them."
"Your mother makes dumplings with less meat and more vegetables." Cai Ting's father smiled innocently, "She doesn't want to put meat in them."
After the father and daughter left, Su Jiaojiao was no longer sleepy. She took out her phone and wished Mr. Kang a happy new year. It was New Year's Day, so the two chatted about daily life and nothing else. Mr. Kang said that they would be back to work on the sixth day of the New Year, and asked her to come to the company when she was free to discuss orders.
Su Jiaojiao agreed and said she would go when she was free.
After the call, Su Jiaojiao was about to go back to sleep when Chen Jiang and Cheng Yu arrived. They came to wish Chen Guilan a happy new year.
Chen Guilan chatted with the two for a while, then went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them. Cheng Yu pushed Chen Jiang and said, "You're the chef. Go help your aunt cook. I'll talk to Jiao Jiao for a while."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Chen Jiang rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen. Seeing a lot of leftovers in the kitchen, he said there was no need to prepare anything else, just heat these up and eat them.
"It's Chinese New Year, how can I let you eat leftovers?" Chen Guilan said with a smile, "I'll help you, you just focus on stir-frying."
When they were in school, although Cheng Yu and Su Jiaojiao were in the same class, they were not actually very familiar with each other. At that time, Su Jiaojiao only played with Liu Ying and others, and her friendship with Cheng Yu was just a greeting when they met.
Now that Cheng Yu has become Su Jiaojiao's cousin-in-law, the two have a lot of topics to talk about.
Cheng Yu was a carefree person to begin with, and she immediately scolded her elder sister-in-law Chen Mei. "She's showing off at her husband's house because she gave birth to a boy, and even back at her own house, she acts so high and mighty. She's been telling me to see a doctor, saying there must be something wrong with me since I haven't had any movement in so long. Tell me, is this something for you, my elder sister-in-law, to meddle in?"
