She has now successfully taken the first step.
And all of these belong to Xia Lan.
Chu Xiaolan returned home and looked at the blueprints that Xia Lan had helped her repair. She made up her mind: she would make all these clothes.
Xia Lan was on the train back home. The train was full of people carrying a lot of goods; they were all pioneers who had caught the scent of the goods.
They are willing to support reform.
I'm willing to risk everything I have.
When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one will prevail.
Their faces bore the worry of the future, but Xia Lan knew that when they successfully earned their first pot of gold, that worry would immediately turn into confidence.
However, Xia Lan spotted the man who had been boasting on the way in among these people.
Unlike when he arrived, the man on his return journey lacked the confidence he had displayed, instead carrying a hint of worry and insecurity.
Xia Lan yawned lazily. Unlike them, she only had her own luggage and a delivery slip.
The man also saw Xia Lan, recognized her, and saw that she had returned empty-handed again, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
Xia Lan was lazily gazing at the scenery outside the window when she suddenly heard a muttering sound.
"Look at that woman. She went with us, but she came back empty-handed. It's really unacceptable."
"That's right, I bought everything with all the money I brought!"
"Everyone has their own ambitions; perhaps her ambitions lie elsewhere!"
"That's true, but it's such a waste of her time! She went there and came back empty-handed!"
"She doesn't look like someone who knows how to do business. She doesn't have our sharp minds..."
"Being good-looking is useless if you're not smart."
"That's right..."
Xia Lan lazily turned her head, and the sounds immediately disappeared.
Looking at the man, I saw that they had started to huddle together again, whispering about something.
However, as the group talked, they would occasionally glance at her again.
Xia Lan rolled her eyes at them speechlessly, too lazy to pay them any attention.
When she got hungry, she would buy a boxed meal, even though the aluminum lunchbox on the train didn't taste very good, which reminded her of Qin Yu, that bastard who had disappeared.
She composed herself, not wanting to think about that jerk.
Having regained her composure, Xia Lan was carefree and didn't take those people seriously at all.
When it was time to get off the train, the men, carrying their spoils, disembarked with an air of superiority.
Before leaving, someone glanced at Xia Lan and gave her a disdainful look.
This left Xia Lan speechless.
Finally arriving at the station, Xia Lan looked at the familiar station and slowly got off the train.
Before boarding the train, Xia Lan had already called Du Qiang to ask him to come pick her up. She sat at the train station, waiting for the staff to unload the goods, and then took her order to pick them up.
Seeing that she was a woman, they kindly helped her to the station entrance.
At the entrance of the train station, Xia Lan encountered the group of people carrying the goods once again.
The man and several others seemed to be discussing how to get back. When they saw Xia Lan, they were taken aback.
The man was stunned when he saw the goods behind Xia Lan.
Others also saw the staff behind Xia Lan, who were pushing a cart full of goods behind her.
The man's expression changed drastically upon seeing the packaging.
Xia Lan then noticed them and gave them a smile.
A truck slowly drove up and stopped right in front of Xia Lan.
"sister in law!"
Du Qiang jumped off the truck, saw the cargo behind Xia Lan, and patted the truck.
Ma Sheng and the others immediately jumped out of the carriage and loaded Xia Lan's goods onto the vehicle.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xia Lan smiled at them.
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? We're family, no need for such formalities! Get in the car!"
Du Qiang smiled at Xia Lan, gave her his passenger seat, and then went to the back of the car to be with Ma Sheng and the others.
The group left in a grand procession, leaving behind a man with a grim expression.
Xia Lan slapped them all hard across the face.
Their self-righteous sense of superiority is nothing but a joke in the eyes of others.
The truck slowly came to a stop in front of the department store.
Xiao Ling and the others immediately ran out, waiting for Ma Sheng and the others to unload all the goods.
"My God! How many clothes did you bring in?"
Xu Li's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected Xia Lan to stock up on so much merchandise.
Xia Lan smiled slightly.
"I still think it's not enough!"
If there had been space in the store to display the items, she probably would have continued to buy them.
"Take them all apart, and I'll show you how to arrange them!"
Xia Lan tried to touch her, but Xiao Ling quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Leave these things to us, you should go home now!"
Xiao Ling said earnestly to Xia Lan.
“Your Tuantuan and Yuanyuan come to see you every day. If you don’t go back, the two little ones will be heartbroken.”
"Isn't that right? You have no idea that every time those two little ones show up, they always ask us, 'Auntie, do you know where my mommy is?'"
"It broke my heart to hear that."
You should go home right away!
Xia Lan was pushed out the door by them, and she obediently nodded.
"Alright, alright, thank you for your hard work. I'll go home now."
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law! We'll help you here!"
Du Qiang also felt that Xia Lan should go home and visit her first.
He waved to Xia Lan.
Xia Lan chuckled softly, then turned and walked home.
When Xia Lan got home, she gently pushed open the door and heard Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan hugging Xiao Yuqin's legs and asking her questions.
"Grandma, where's Mom?"
"Grandma, Yuanyuan's mom."
This is the first time the two little ones have been separated from Xia Lan for so long.
The first day was fine. They didn't see Xia Lan, but they didn't think anything of it. After all, when Xia Lan was busy, she would be gone for a whole day.
The next day, the little ones got upset. They didn't see Xia Lan all day, not even at night.
Xiao Yuqin coaxed them a bit, and they were able to accept it.
By the third day, no matter what Xiao Yuqin said, they no longer believed her and insisted on seeing Xia Lan.
He asks everyone he meets, "Where's Mom?"
During the few days Xia Lan was away, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan lost their smiles.
Yuanyuan, in particular, never liked to smile to begin with, and now she always has a long face, just like Qin Jun.
“Your mother…”
Just as Xiao Yuqin was about to coax them, she suddenly saw a figure walk in, and her eyes lit up.
He then breathed a huge sigh of relief; Xia Lan was finally back.
"Reunion, Mommy's here!"
Xia Lan called softly to Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were shocked and turned around in disbelief. When they saw Xia Lan, Tuantuan immediately staggered towards Xia Lan.
Even though she almost fell halfway there, Tuantuan was not afraid. She immediately steadied herself and continued running towards Xia Lan.
"Mother!!"
Tuantuan called out excitedly.
Xia Lan picked Tuan Tuan up and kissed her.
"Yuanyuan?"
