Chapter 263 Met a savior!
After Tong Xiayue sent the three away, she saw that the children were relatively well behaved. Thinking that she had a tight schedule and heavy tasks to accomplish this time, and that school would start in a few days, she had to arrange the affairs of the garment factory as soon as possible so that she could feel at ease.
Before the economy is liberalized, she must seize all opportunities. Once the policies are relaxed, it will be much easier for her to set up a company or a factory.
Tong Xiayue was worried about when the three children would be able to adapt to the new environment. If they were making noise every day, she really wouldn’t be able to spare the time to go out and do things!
Fortunately, the little guys were pretty capable. They had adapted to the new environment after two days of returning. It was not difficult for Ji Jiashu to take care of the children alone for half a day.
That day, after Tong Xiayue arranged everything for the children, she went out with Xu Duoduo to look for factories. Although she had Mrs. Dong's design drawings and samples with her, she couldn't start this business without factories to help make the clothes.
Unlike Guangzhou, Beijing is generally a heavy industry, and there are not many light industries such as clothing factories. Some factories are very small and don't produce much.
But now it is impossible for her to make a big business. She can only help with processing. It shouldn't be difficult if the price is negotiated.
Tong Xiayue and Xu Duoduo went to three small clothing factories in Beijing in the morning, but they were all rejected. The reason was simple, because the factories were all state-owned. Who dared to take private orders?
This was not allowed by the policy, and no one was willing to take such a risk!
Just when the two were at a loss, Xu Duoduo suddenly said, "Can we look for a tailor? We can ask a tailor to help us and pay by piece. We don't have much volume now, so a tailor should be able to handle it for a while. We'll continue looking for factories, and if that doesn't work, we'll go to nearby cities."
Tong Xiayue thought Xu Duoduo made sense, so she agreed.
She had seen tailors on the road before, in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and some doing handicrafts at home.
It might be the New Year period now, and the two of them ran around for a whole morning but didn't find a tailor...
Just when the two of them were going home in disappointment, they suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Classmate Xia Yue?"
Tong Xia Yue looked up at the voice: "Qi Fang?"
This time, she spent a long time with Ji Jiashu, so she had naturally heard that Qi Fang was Qi Mu's sister.
Qi Fang trotted to the two of them: "You are back?! How are you? I heard from my brother that your husband was injured... and you gave birth to a child..."
Qi Fang used to be a quiet person, but now she felt that she wanted to ask too many questions...
After Tong Xia Yue helped her speak up at school, she inexplicably liked this classmate, and later she heard her brother talk a lot about her husband. It turned out that he was a hero's family! She
felt this kind of intimacy even more deeply. After hearing about their affairs, she had been worried about the two of them, but she didn't expect to run into them on the street at this moment.
Tong Xiayue had liked this girl before. She was quiet, honest and simple. Seeing that she cared so much about herself, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is fine. The children are fine too."
Qi Fang was surprised and said, "Children? You gave birth to twins?"
Xu Duoduo couldn't help laughing, "Triplets!"
Qi Fang was shocked and said, "Triplet?!"
When she was in school, she saw that her belly was quite big. She didn't expect that she was having triplets. No wonder...
Tong Xiayue asked with concern, "What about you? Did you get into school?"
Qi Fang smiled and said, "Yeah, Beijing. University."
Xu Duoduo was excited to hear Qi Fang's words: "Then we will be classmates in the future!"
Qi Fang: "You are also from Peking University? Great, I major in education, what about you?"
Xu Duoduo was upset because Tong Xiayue and he failed to get into the same school before, but he didn't expect to meet a classmate now, and he was very excited: "I major in accounting."
Qi Fang actually performed exceptionally well in this college entrance examination. According to her previous grades, it can only be said that she was mediocre, but it was impossible for her to get into Peking University. Tong Xiayue didn't expect Qi Fang to perform so well.
Tong Xiayue: "Congratulations, my second sister-in-law is also studying at Peking University, with the same major as you, maybe we will be classmates in the future."
The three girls stood on the street and chatted for a long time. Qi Fang saw that it was almost lunch time, so she said, "It's noon now, why don't you go to my house for dinner? My mom is a pretty good cook."
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "No, my kids are waiting for me at home. I'll visit you next time I have the chance."
After saying goodbye and preparing to leave, a sample garment she was holding fell down...
Qi Fang... Helped to pick up: "This dress is so beautiful!"
Tong Xiayue sighed: "Alas, it is beautiful, but I can't find anyone to make it..."
Qi Fang looked up at Tong Xiayue with a sad face: "Are you looking for someone to make clothes?"
Tong Xiayue said lightly: "Well, I want to find a tailor to help me make some clothes, but I can't find anyone during the New Year."
Qi Fang smiled and said: "This is unfortunate, my mother is a tailor, her craftsmanship is impeccable, why don't you come back with me to take a look?"
Hearing Qi Fang's words, it was like meeting a savior!
Xu Duoduo was also surprised. The two of them searched for a whole morning, and they ran their legs off but couldn't find a factory. Later, they ran all over the streets to find a tailor, but unfortunately they still found nothing... Unexpectedly,
this ready-made tailor was right in front of them!
Xu Duoduo pulled Tong Xiayue and urged, "Come on, let's go and take a look."
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Qi Fang, let's go to see you in the afternoon. I have to go back to feed the baby now. Where is your home?"
Tong Xiayue said goodbye and left after she got the address of Qi Fang's home. After having children, she would think of them whenever she went out to do something.
Finally, I realized the bitterness of being a mother...
I have only been back for three days, and the child has been making a fuss for the past two days. I don’t know if Ji Jiashu can handle it now...
Tong Xiayue dragged Xu Duoduo to hurry home, and Xu Duoduo joked: "My godson and goddaughter will definitely not make a fuss, so don’t worry!"
Tong Xiayue couldn’t hear these words at the moment, and she was thinking about going back to see her three babies! As soon as she
arrived at the gate of the yard, she heard a burst of laughter...
Xu Duoduo panted and smiled: "See, I told you that nothing would happen."
Tong Xiayue walked slowly into the main room, and saw three children in a wooden rocking car, with Ji Jiashu rocking the car, and the three children were laughing happily!
Tong Xiayue asked curiously, "Where did you get this car?"
Ji Jiashu said, "My second brother and I made it this morning while they were sleeping."
It looked a bit like a cradle in the modern world, and it didn't look like something that was made in a hurry. It took a lot of work to make such a high-quality car in just one morning.
Tong Xiayue said with a smile: "I didn't expect you and second brother to have this skill! This is too good!"
Ji Jialin said with a smile: "When I was in the village, I would go to other people's homes with a few carpenters to help, and I learned some skills."
Zhao Qian said with a smile: "Don't listen to him, he has studied with other masters for a period of time, and his skills are still good. If you have anything you need in the future, let second brother do it for you."
Tong Xiayue said with a smile: "No wonder, I said this skill doesn't look like the work of a novice, second brother is really a hidden talent!"
