Chapter 257 (Extra 2)
Of course there is still a difference. Two months later, Zhou Jiani suddenly started to have morning sickness, which made her sigh helplessly. If she had not been married, she would not have had children. But after she got married, someone would come back to work during his vacation, and she got pregnant.
After coming out of the hospital for a check-up, Zhou Jiani covered her chest on the side of the road to relieve the discomfort. She took a bottle of soda from the warehouse and took a few sips to suppress the nausea. She wiped her mouth, got on her bike, and went to discuss the second store.
Fortunately, the little thing was quite sensible. She didn't make a fuss when we were talking about serious matters, just like a normal person.
She had taken a fancy to this store two months ago, but the owner had been out of town and had not returned. So she arranged for a middle-aged woman nearby to act as an informant, and the owner notified her as soon as he returned. Zhou Jiani went over to talk to him and signed a contract to rent the store.
Now she is still in partnership with Bai Haoyang. Bai Haoyang comes to keep an eye on the business on weekends. He also supports opening branches and is very clear about making additional investments.
He had only one idea: to follow his sister-in-law's footsteps and have food to eat.
Although he holds a small stake and receives low dividends, it is still much more than what he would earn at work.
Of course, we can’t just look at how much money we make. He feels that teaching and educating people is very meaningful.
When the second store started to be renovated, Zhou Jiani also contacted fixed partners and increased the purchase volume.
Several people in the transport team who had a good relationship with Qiu Zeming helped her import other goods from other places. Therefore, although her store was not big, the items were becoming more and more abundant. However, the supply of some goods was not regular. They might be available this time, but once they were sold out, she didn't know when they would be available again.
The main items she has fixed are wicker and bamboo products, rice noodle sticks, clothes, hair ornaments and bags; in winter she can always get plenty of fresh vegetables.
By the time the new store opens, the second batch of new pants from the Capital Garment Factory will be on the market, which will be just the right time for distribution.
It was the one she wore on her wedding day.
On the wedding day, Aunt Ge also came. When she saw the pants Zhou Jiani was wearing, she asked where she bought them. Zhou Jiani said she made them herself, so she asked if she could cooperate with the factory.
Bell-bottom pants are popular now, but Aunt Ge herself feels that when she looks at the bell-bottom pants worn by young people outside, she really can't tell how good they are. But she likes the pair that Zhou Jiani wore that day.
They should also be bell-bottoms, but there is a kind of beauty that is hard to describe.
Zhou Jiani felt that cooperation was a possibility. The garment factory had given her a lot of conveniences in the past few years, allowing her to buy cloth coupons on credit, and later allowed her to pay for the goods after they were shipped.
Her store is not a state-owned enterprise, but a small private store. The reason why they gave her such convenience is actually because they saw that the popularity of those two bags has remained high in recent years, and there is a tendency that they will replace the cross-body canvas bag.
Zhou Jiani gave the drawn pattern to Aunt Ge, and also drew a few more based on the existing fabrics in the factory and the materials suitable for spring and summer. She made some simple adjustments to the style and noted what fabrics the style was suitable for.
Now that the factory has produced it, Zhou Jiani’s old store has received first-hand goods.
After a simple renovation and stocking of the new store, the new models of trousers from the Capital Garment Factory were also put on the shelves, and business was very good.
The old store hired a new person, who was none other than Zhai Hong's cousin. Unlike Aunt Zhang and Yue Cuiyun, this girl was extroverted, spoke very fluently, and was very lively and chattering, which made her very popular with customers.
Apart from her grandmother, Zhou Jiani had not told the Qiu family about her pregnancy. She had visited the Qiu family several times during this period, but the baby was very quiet and her parents-in-law did not notice anything unusual.
Zhou Jiani was also quite patient. She wanted to talk to Qiu Zeming first, and then tell her family when she went home with Qiu Zeming for dinner. However, after she finished opening the new store, she found out that Qiu Zeming's vacation this time was a bit long.
Zhou Jiani called the school and was told that he had gone to participate in a secret training camp. It was unclear how long he would be there or when he would be back. Zhou Jiani felt very nervous.
That night, I went back to the Qiu family for dinner, and at the dinner table, I asked my grandfather about the secret training at Ze Ming's school.
Before, when she was busy, she was emotionally stable except for vomiting twice occasionally, being particularly hungry, suddenly having poor sleep at night, and having a little frequent urination.
But for some reason today, Mr. Qiu just said, "Secrecy training is normal at Zeming's school. Moreover, these missions are often sudden, and students are not allowed to contact their families, so..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhou Jiani burst into tears while holding her chopsticks. This emotion came inexplicably, and even she felt embarrassed while crying.
This frightened Du Yunxin who was standing next to her. She asked, "Jiani, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Jiani put down her chopsticks and wiped her tears, a little embarrassedly saying: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't know I would cry. Mom, I'm fine."
Du Yunxin thought Zhou Jiani was busy with both studies and career, and she might be a little tired recently. When she was tired, her lover was not by her side, so she naturally accumulated a lot of grievances and said apologetically, "It's not easy to be a military family member, Jiani, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
In the past, Zhou Jiani sometimes felt wronged, but she could quickly convince herself and would never cry. But when Du Yunxin said this, the tears that Zhou Jiani had just stopped flowed down her face again, and she was speechless.
The whole family was in a panic. Qiu Dongshu, the father-in-law, didn't know how to comfort the family and was at a loss. The old man was so scared that he quickly got up and went back to the house to make a phone call to see if he could find out anything.
Aunt Fang was also frightened.
Zhou Jiani wiped her tears, unable to control her surging feelings of grievance and embarrassment, sobbing, "Mom, I'm fine."
Du Yunxin's eyes were reddened by her annoyance. She patted her on the back and asked, "Did something happen to you? Someone is giving you trouble? Or is there something difficult to resolve at the store?"
Someone must have bullied Jiani.
Zhou Jiani wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said embarrassedly: "Mom, it's nothing. The store is doing well. The second store has been opened and business is very good..."
She hesitated for a moment and decided not to wait for Qiu Zeming to come back to inform them. Her reaction today was too abnormal, and it had caused the whole family to be in a state of panic. She took out the test results from her bag and handed them to Du Yunxin, saying calmly, "Mom, you're going to be a grandmother. This may be the reason for your emotional instability."
Du Yunxin hadn't reacted yet and was casually asking, "You're not feeling well...Jia Ni, are you pregnant?"
Mr. Qiu, who came out of the study, was stunned, and Qiu Dongshu next to him also smiled.
Du Yunxin was even more surprised. She unfolded it and took a look. She said, "Oh, oh, oh," and said, "You found out last month, why didn't you tell your family? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Is there anything you particularly want to eat?"
Zhou Jiani said embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to tell Zeming first, and then come back with Zeming to tell you, but I didn't expect him to stay away for such a long time this time."
Du Yunxin cried and laughed happily, saying, "You kid."
But I also understand that when there is such a happy event, she tells her husband first, which is also a little fun between the young couple. It's just that her son is not very lucky. At the critical moment, the school suddenly started a secret training. During this secret training, he is forbidden to contact the outside world.
Jiani can't hide until he comes back.
The old man also laughed and called to Mrs. Fang: "Xiao Fang, bring out my Moutai so I can have a couple of drinks."
Then he told Zhou Jiani the news he had asked about. It was indeed a secret training. This kind of training was kept secret with a very high degree of confidentiality, involving military secrets. It was not convenient for Mr. Qiu to reveal it to Zhou Jiani. He only said that there would be no danger and asked Zhou Jiani to rest assured.
The training time was almost the same as when Zhou Jiani was diagnosed with pregnancy.
Du Yunxin was worried about Zhou Jiani's health, and it had been a month since her last check-up. After dinner, she took her to the military hospital for another check-up.
The last time I checked, I was pregnant too young and nothing was found. This time, when the results came out, it not only gave Du Yunxin a big surprise, but also gave Zhou Jiani a surprise.
"twin?"
The doctor didn’t say it was twins during the last check-up!
Du Yunxin smiled and said, "At that time, the month was too early to tell, but now the result is stable."
Zhou Jiani touched her belly and said with a smile, "Mom, it would be perfect if they were twins, a boy and a girl. We can have it all at once."
Du Yunxin said softly, "Of course twins, a boy and a girl, are the most perfect. Even if they aren't twins, whether it's two girls or two boys, we like them and welcome them. They're all our treasures."
Zhou Jiani thought so too and nodded with a smile.
There is a gene for twins in her family, and her two younger brothers are twins, but there is also a probability, just like in her previous life, she only gave birth to one, and the other one was even worse than a piece of barbecued pork.
Du Yunxin really wanted Zhou Jiani to move back to the compound, but considering that she had to study and take care of the business, and that the old lady of the Zhou family was also in the capital and had an aunt to take care of her, she thought it would be better to follow Jiani's own wishes. She only told her to be more careful in her daily actions and get more rest.
Besides that, we would send some food there every now and then.
While her belly was still small, Zhou Jiani was busy with her studies while steadily developing her shop business.
When Qiu Zeming finished his training and took leave, Zhou Jiani, who was pregnant with twins, was already slightly pregnant.
Seeing him staring at his belly cautiously like an idiot, Zhou Jiani chuckled: "Silly!"
Qiu Zeming had become darker and thinner, and had a solemn and capable air about him. Zhou Jiani vaguely guessed that this so-called secret training was probably not a simple exercise, but perhaps he was participating in some kind of mission.
"Wife!" Qiu Zeming asked uncertainly, "We have a child, right?"
Zhou Jiani took his hand and placed it on her belly, smiling and said, "Feel it."
Qiu Zeming's hand on her belly trembled slightly. After a while, he hugged her, carefully bending his body to avoid touching her belly. He kissed her face hard, and then his eyes flashed with surprise: "We are having a child."
Zhou Jiani smiled and nodded, holding up two fingers towards him: "You are about to be the father of two children, and I am about to be the mother of two children."
Qiu Zeming was once again stunned. "Two?" His expression froze slightly. "Will it be very hard? Will it be dangerous? No, I have to ask Qi Yang's mother if there's anything I should be careful of."
Zhou Jiani smiled and pinched his slightly tanned face, saying, "Mom has already written a pregnancy guide for me. When my mom was pregnant with twins, other than her belly getting a little inconvenient to move around, there wasn't much else. I'm sure my physique will be like hers, don't worry."
Qiu Zeming still called the Second Textile Factory and communicated with his mother-in-law, and then went to the military hospital to ask the obstetrician again and again.
During the few days he was resting, he took the initiative to help take care of the things in the shop, allowing Jiani to concentrate on studying and resting.
I also lived with Grandma Jiang.
When the holiday was over, I felt even more worried. Fortunately, his mother was very caring and would come to visit him from time to time, buy some things, and help him out.
Sometimes he would drive to pick up Zhou Jiani and take her home for dinner, and he took very good care of her.
Zhou Jiani gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, during the Spring Festival. The son was named Qiu Zhichen and the daughter was named Qiu Zhixia.
Zhou Jiani herself is very satisfied. She got it all in one go, with both a son and a daughter!
Yu Huifang took a long vacation to take care of her, and the Qiu family also hired an experienced confinement nanny. In addition to helping take care of the child, she also helped Zhou Jiani regulate her body through diet.
So Zhou Jiani didn't suffer much during this period of confinement. She ate well, slept well, and rested very well. As soon as she was out of confinement, she gained more than ten pounds.
By the time she opened her third shop, she had gained back the ten pounds she had lost.
When the twins were two years old, Zhou Jiani rented a larger shop in the capital and integrated all the shops, and Qianhui Department Store officially took shape.
Yue Cuiyun gave birth to a daughter with Zhang Lihai a year ago. She moved out from Zhou Jiani's place a long time ago and rented a separate yard with Zhang Lihai. She hired an aunt to help take care of the child. Now she is the manager of Qianhui Department Store.
During this period, Zhou Jiani added two more courtyards for herself, vacated one of them to buy a few sewing machines, hired a few people with sewing skills to make bags, and asked Aunt Zhang to be in charge.
There is still cooperation with the clothing factory, but Zhou Jiani has not provided any new designs. However, the Capital Garment Factory has relied on those models for several years and still has a market for it.
Zhou Jiani also avoided a lot of trouble by borrowing the name of the clothing factory, which was a mutually beneficial thing.
But now Zhou Jiani is ready to start making her own brand of bags.
Nowadays, many factories are beginning to decline. They are no longer in a situation of supply exceeding demand. On the contrary, they either have a backlog of inventory that cannot be cleared, or the tasks assigned by their superiors are getting fewer and fewer. In this case, it is easier to contact cooperative units than in previous years.
Zhou Jiani asked the factory to make custom brand labels, and all the finished bags were branded with her own brand - Feitu.
If everything from cutting to sewing to labeling was left to Aunt Zhang and the others, the efficiency would definitely be low. So Zhou Jiani cooperated with the Capital Garment Factory and a small garment factory in the suburbs of the capital, asking them to help with cutting and making straps. However, she was a little careful and cut different parts to prevent the style from being leaked.
After that, Aunt Zhang and her team will complete the splicing and processing and nail the labels.
There is no need to rush to find partners after the bag is produced. Just hang it in your own department store in a conspicuous place and have the salesperson push it hard. As long as there are one or two people carrying it on their backs walking around the streets, it will soon attract new customers and gradually create a trend.
Besides, Zhou Jiani already has her own old connections. The companies that used to sell hair flowers like her very much and are willing to cooperate with her.
Starting from a small workshop, the scale doubled after one year. Two years later, Zhou Jiani contracted two production lines from the small garment factory and began to produce "Feitu" bags in large quantities.
After she obtained her doctorate, she officially acquired the small garment factory in the suburbs, adjusted the production line, and increased the production of leather goods. "Feitu" officially began to take off.
Zhou Jiani also launched her first gg: Feitu, a brand specializing in bags!
