The group played until just before the start of the school term before returning home. By the time they got back to Xiangshi, they were all several shades darker.
With only a week left before school starts, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Beibei are having a tough time, frantically catching up on their summer homework and assignments from their private tutors.
Although they brought their homework with them when they went out to play, they only did a little when it rained and they couldn't go out, and they also did some on the train. Otherwise, they didn't have time. They played wildly all day, and by evening, they didn't even have time to do homework. After taking a shower and washing their clothes, they would just fall asleep.
Dangdang and An'an fared much better. One reason was that they were elementary school students and had less homework. Another reason was that they had started their holiday about ten days earlier than Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Beibei. Liu Yun had told them they were going out to play long ago, so they finished most of their homework in those ten days.
Although An'an had finished the homework assigned by her school teachers, she hadn't finished the homework assigned by her private tutor, especially.
Therefore, upon returning to the new city, the four of them—Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, Beibei, and An'an—did their homework diligently.
This is not something that can be accomplished by a pen, a lamp, a person, or a night in later generations.
One reason is that, aside from other things, these students never slack off when it comes to their studies. Another reason is that the homework they owe the most is from their private tutors, which is something they can't just do half-heartedly.
Liu Yun expressed her sympathy for them, saying that she could do nothing but cook them more food.
Despite her sympathy, she couldn't resist watching the show. After all, there weren't many things she could laugh at in these kids, especially Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Beibei. She could trick them when they were little, but now that they're older, they're harder to fool.
Seeing the five of them diligently catching up on their homework and studying, Liu Yun, who was suddenly free, felt a little out of place and decided to go find Liu Jing and Cheng Ke.
Liu Yun, Liu Jing, and Cheng Ke were all a little unaccustomed to seeing each other suddenly.
Liu Jing: "Little sister, why are you so dark-skinned? And you've lost weight too."
Liu Yun raised her hand to touch her face, not even noticing, "Have you lost weight?"
Cheng Ke: "You've lost weight. What have you been doing?"
Liu Yun: "I took my parents-in-law and children on a trip to the surrounding cities."
Hearing this, Cheng Ke raised an eyebrow. "That's not right! Your husband didn't go? That's unlikely! That's not like him! Would he let you go out alone?"
Liu Yun: "He wanted to go but couldn't because he was tied up with work."
Cheng Ke laughed when she heard the reason. "I knew it! He's the kind of person who's afraid you'll run away or be bewitched by some other woman. How could he not follow you? He's probably at home waiting for you to come back! By the way, I made a lot of ointment that you can apply to your face. I'll bring you two bottles tomorrow to help save your face!"
Liu Yun's eyes lit up when she heard about this good stuff: "That's great! Thank you so much! Hahaha, I was so annoyed because I was worried that my face would take all winter to get back to its original white color!"
Liu Jing: "Where are Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, Beibei, Dangdang, and An'an? Why didn't you bring them out to play?"
Liu Yun: "I've had so much fun this past month, I'm catching up on my homework at home!"
Liu Jing: "This is not like them at all."
Liu Yun: "Indeed."
After all, these kids have always been known as top students since they were little. Who would have thought that these top students would be frantically catching up on their homework and patching things up before the start of the school year?
Liu Yun: "So, how's business these days?"
Liu Jing: "Busy, so busy, I'm so busy I barely have time to breathe. I feel like I'm doing the work of two people every day."
Cheng Ke: "Me too. I'm racking my brains trying to figure out this design. I'm so envious that I can relax and go out to play."
Liu Yun: "Designers can buy all sorts of things from art students and teachers. As long as the price is high, they won't have trouble finding buyers."
Cheng Ke: "How could I not have thought of that? I'm so busy, my brain can't keep up. I asked some art teachers to design before, but not many. Now that the first batch of students is about to graduate, there are more talents available."
Liu Yun: "We can also talk to those schools. Our factory is quite well-known, so we can try to recruit some talent from them."
Liu Jing: "I'll make the arrangements right away."
Liu Yun: "Those who study finance, management, design, and accounting, as long as the salary is high, we don't have to worry about them not coming. Once they fill in, you can relax a bit."
Liu Jing: "So you're the best at stealing moments of leisure."
Liu Yun didn't argue when she heard this. She just shrugged and waved her hand, "Who told me to be lazy! Lazy people have lazy luck."
Liu Jing and Cheng Ke were both very busy, and Liu Yun also went to the factory and the shops to take a look around. The two of them were indeed managing things very well, and their businesses were thriving.
Having spent over a month traveling within the province, I've noticed that every city in the Southern Province now has at least one Jin Yi Ge store. Although more and more people are gradually going to Guangzhou to purchase goods, Jin Yi Ge still sells the most goods in the Southern Province.
It can now be said that at least 60 percent of the clothing business in the entire southern province is in Jinyige and the newly opened factories.
This shows how great the benefits are for being the first to try something new. While the benefits were already apparent before, they are even more obvious now, and will become even more apparent in the coming years.
I also saw Wang Ying and Liu Zhengdong at the factory. They had just returned from Guangzhou, and the goods from there would arrive tomorrow.
Wang Ying: "Sister Liu, when did you get back?"
Liu Yun: "It'll be in the next couple of days, and I'll be going back in a couple more days. The kids are starting school soon."
Wang Ying: "So fast! I thought you could stay a few more days and then I'd come visit you!"
Liu Yun: "There will be plenty of time later. Do you have time this time? I said I would treat you to dinner last time. If you're free, let's go have dinner together later."
Wang Ying: "I have time, I can."
Liu Zhengdong: "Then thank you in advance, Sister Liu."
Liu Yun: "Okay, you guys go to work first, I'll come find you later."
To be honest, Liu Yun hadn't been back for more than half a year. In the past six months, Xinshi had changed a lot, and Liu Yun really didn't know where to find good food.
However, Liu Jing must know these things, because she often deals with business outside and it's common for her to treat people to meals, so she must be familiar with restaurants that are relatively new.
Upon receiving the recommendation, Liu Yun immediately booked a table.
