Song Shishi smiled but didn't explain.
"You really didn't bring it?" Su Yaqin was a little sad, but she quickly adjusted her mood and continued, "I should have been discharged from the hospital yesterday. Mr. Zuo said that Brother Zuo Jin would come today, so we stayed one more day. I should have picked him up last night."
Su Yaqin continued to talk to herself, "Forget it, let's drive to pick him up later and give him a surprise."
"Mother!"
When Li Haoyang heard that Su Yaqin was going to give him a surprise, he jumped out of the door.
"Ah, little treasure, let mommy hug you."
The slight sense of loss that Su Yaqin had just felt disappeared the moment Li Haoyang appeared.
She walked forward, squatted down, and held Li Haoyang in her arms, "Xiaobao, do you miss your parents these two days?"
Li Haoyang nodded his head desperately, "I'm thinking, is Daddy's health better?"
...
...
"Okay, Dad is discharged from the hospital today, and we can be together again." Su Yaqin was happy to see her son.
Li Haoyang jumped happily and cheered: "Great!"
Song Shishi withdrew her gaze and turned to meet Zuo Jin's gaze. She nodded slightly at Zuo Jin as a greeting.
Zuo Jin twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Sister Shishi, I have good news for you. I just showed the sample clothes to Mr. Zuo and Brother Zuo Jin. They both said it's not too rough. Zuo Jin also agreed to help us sell the products. With the help of Mr. Zuo and Brother Zuo Jin, we won't have to worry about not being able to sell our clothes."
Although this batch of clothes, which was originally thought to be a loss, has not been sold yet, there is hope. The workers in the factory no longer have to worry about losing their jobs. Li Chengde is in a particularly good mood.
“That’s great.”
Although she had the help of Mr. Zuo, there was so much inventory in Li Chengde's factory that Song Shishi was worried that she alone could not handle such a large order.
When she saw Zuo Jin, she was still thinking about how to persuade Zuo Jin to help.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengde had already reached an agreement with Zuo Jin.
In any case, the ultimate goal was achieved and Song Shishi was also happy.
Seeing that they were so happy, Mr. Zuo said coldly: "Don't be so happy. This is just the first step. The next step is the hard battle you have to fight. When Zuo Jin goes to find clients, you should follow him. Only by learning from each other can you go far."
Mr. Zuo is always laughing and joking, but when he talks about serious things, he is worth learning from.
Hearing this, Li Chengde immediately stopped laughing and said, "Yes, then I will follow Brother Zuo Jin to find Boss Yang tomorrow."
Boss Yang is the person on the business card that Uncle Zuo handed to Li Chengde last time.
Li Chengde still has no idea what Boss Yang does. The business card only has Boss Yang's phone number and address, and no other information.
But just when Zuo Jin agreed to help Li Chengde, Old Man Zuo asked Zuo Jin to help coordinate the order with Boss Yang.
When it comes to sales, Zuo Jin is an expert, but when it comes to the clothes themselves, Li Chengde is the one who knows them best.
That's why Mr. Zuo suggested that they should learn from each other.
Zuo Jin always stood beside Old Man Zuo and said little.
Li Chengde's things had been packed and the discharge procedures had been completed. After a few more words with Uncle Zuo, it was time for them to leave.
Su Yaqin was holding Li Haoyang, and Li Chengde couldn't carry so many things by himself, so Song Shishi took the initiative to help carry the luggage and sent them to the car.
"Shishi, won't you have dinner with us? We'll be back tomorrow."
Thinking about leaving Beijing, Su Yaqin still felt a little reluctant to leave Song Shishi.
Li Haoyang also opened his big watery eyes, looking like he wanted to cry but trying hard to hold it back, it was so pitiful.
Song Shishi stood outside the car and reached out to touch the head of Li Haoyang who was lying by the car window.
"I won't go. You still have a lot of things to do. If you really don't have the energy to take care of Xiaobao, you can always send him to me."
Speaking of this, Su Yaqin said apologetically: "We were too rushed this time. There are still many things waiting for us to deal with in the factory. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely visit you. Thank you mother for taking care of Xiaobao these days."
"We're a family, no need to be so polite."
Song Shishi really doesn't care about these things.
"In fact, we can send Xiaobao to his grandmother's house, but my parents have never been very satisfied with your brother-in-law. This time things have become like this, I really don't want to..."
Even though Li Chengde’s situation had gotten so bad that he was admitted to the hospital, they still didn’t contact Su Yaqin’s parents.
She would rather leave Li Haoyang in her home than send him to his grandparents.
Song Shishi knew that they must have their own difficulties, so she never asked any questions.
"It's okay, Sister Qin. No matter what happens when you go back, just deal with it calmly. Things will get better. Don't worry."
"Um."
Su Yaqin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded.
"It's getting late. You should go back to the guesthouse and get some rest. Remember to write to me when you get back."
Watching Su Yaqin and her friends' car driving away, Song Shishi finally felt relieved that the heavy stone that had been weighing on her mind for the past few days had fallen to the ground.
When Song Shishi returned to the compound, it was already seven or eight o'clock.
Zheng Peilan and Song Zhenhua have already rested.
Xu Li heard the noise and came out of the room.
"Sister, have you eaten yet?"
Song Shishi shook her head, "Not yet, my brother-in-law is discharged from the hospital today, and they will return to Xiangyang tomorrow."
Xu Li nodded. "Today I followed Sister Yan Xin to a client's home to perm their hair and put on makeup. When we came back, Aunt Zheng told me about it. It's a pity that I couldn't see them off. I hope Sister Qin won't blame me."
As Xu Li spoke, she walked into the kitchen and brought out the food that Zheng Peilan had heated in the pot.
"It's normal for you to be busy as an apprentice. Sister Qin and brother-in-law know this and won't blame you."
Song Shishi took the bowl and chopsticks, walked to the dining table, sat down, and comforted him softly.
"By the way, I mentioned earlier that I would find a teacher for you. I just met Xiaoqi, and she said she has a senior who can teach you. If you don't mind, I'll take you to meet her this weekend and finalize this matter."
Xu Li frowned.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to learn, but now she has to learn the craft from Qiao Yanxin every day, and then she has to review notes and weave wigs when she comes back, so she has no time to study at all.
Seeing this, Song Shishi asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, I may not be able to learn it for the time being. Sister Yanxin really wants to teach me skills, and I also really want to learn from her, I..."
After all, Song Shishi meant well. As Xu Li spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and she felt that she was really ungrateful.
Song Shishi has been busy recently. She works during the day and sometimes has to go to the new house after get off work. Sometimes she has to worry about Su Yaqin and the others. After coming back, she has to translate the work she got from the library. She really cares little about Xu Li.
However, Xu Li has her own ideas. She wants to learn a skill from you, Qiao Yanxin, for the time being, and put her cultural studies on the back burner. Song Shishi supports this.
After all, life is Xu Li's own.
It is up to her to decide what her future path will be.
Moreover, Song Shishi discovered that Xu Li's way of dealing with people had also changed since she started learning the craft from Qiao Yanxin.
Just by looking at the way she and Zheng Peilan get along, you can tell that the original discomfort is long gone, and sometimes they get along so well that they are even like real mother and daughter.
Perhaps it was because Xu Li lost her mother early, and Zheng Peilan's care and tenderness reminded her of her own mother.
So when she let go of her guard and learned to take the initiative, her relationship with Zheng Peilan improved a lot.
"Okay, as long as you think it through, no matter what decision you make, as long as it is a well-thought-out idea, I will support it."
Xu Li pursed her lips, "Sister, you are so nice to me."
"Oh, by the way, the new house is almost ready. We will move there tomorrow. It will be more convenient for us to go to and from get off work."
Living there, not only is it convenient for Song Shishi to commute to get off work, but it is also much more convenient for Xu Li to visit Qiao Yanxin.
"Okay, does Aunt Zheng know? Should we tell her first?"
Xu Li thought of Zheng Peilan's dependence on Song Shishi, and was afraid that Zheng Peilan would not be able to accept Song Shishi leaving home to live outside, so she reminded her tactfully.
"Well, I'll tell her tomorrow morning."
Song Shishi picked up a piece of vegetable leaf and put it in her mouth. When she looked up, she saw Xu Li looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
