Two days later, the shop renovation was completed, and Su Jingjing was very satisfied with the interior decoration.
There is a lot of foot traffic near the supply and marketing cooperative, and people stop at the door of the shops as they pass by.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "What kind of business are you planning to do here?"
Yan Ling clapped her hands a few times, and everyone immediately quieted down.
"This is my daughter's shop. She plans to sell clothes there, so please support her when she opens her shop."
Everyone immediately lost interest. The supply and marketing cooperative and the department store had all kinds of clothes. Could they possibly be better looking than the clothes in those two places?
Yan Ling rolled up her sleeves, about to start arguing with them, when her daughter grabbed her sleeve and shook her head.
Yan Ling asked anxiously, "Daughter, why didn't you let Mom continue?"
She couldn't stand it when others wronged Jingjing.
Su Jingjing asked her mother to sit down and poured her a glass of warm water. "Mom, have some water first."
"Wouldn't it be more convincing to just show off our clothes then?"
Yan Ling took a sip of warm water. "Okay, I'll listen to my daughter."
Over the next few days, Su Jingjing was busy recruiting employees. They not only had to know how to make clothes, but they also couldn't be lazy or cheat.
Of course, the offer she made was quite good: twenty yuan a month, with extra subsidies for holidays.
After several rounds of selection, three employees were finally hired. They were all around thirty years old, all from the city, married with children, and short of money at home, which is why they went out to find work.
One of them asked, still uneasy, "Boss, are you really going to give us twenty yuan a month?"
My goodness! That's higher than the wages at the supply and marketing cooperative.
However, since this is a self-employed business, she is still worried that the boss will not be able to pay her.
Another person immediately followed up with, "That's more than my husband earns in a month." Their tone had a slight Northeastern accent.
After listening to them finish speaking, Su Jingjing said, "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be paid well."
Next, let me correct the way you address me: "Also, you don't need to call me boss, just call me by my name."
"You're older than me, so can I call you 'older sister' from now on?"
The three looked at each other, completely surprised that their boss was so easy to get along with.
"sure."
After a brief conversation, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Su Jingjing gave them a brief training session, and then began making clothes.
These past few days, she's been spending her evenings working on the design drafts.
The three of them were somewhat surprised when they saw the design draft.
They've been making clothes for almost five years, and they've never seen such novel designs before.
However, they didn't ask, which is the most basic professional ethics for an employee.
Su Dashan and his two companions moved from the family compound to a rented place.
Su Jingjing was busy with her shop, so she came to stay for a few days, and An An and Yuan Yuan naturally came as well.
Su Dashan also went to work.
Everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
Back in our rented room that evening, we cooked a delicious meal together as a celebration.
Yan Ling was in a good mood today and drank a little wine.
"Let's have a toast as a family."
"cheers."
An'an and Yuanyuan also held their drinks, raised their cups with great effort, and then drank them all in one gulp.
"Wow, this soda tastes so good."
Yuan Yuan licked her lips, still savoring the taste of the soda.
Su Jingjing put away the remaining half bottle of beverage.
He said to Yuanyuan, "Finish the drink in your bowl, then you can't drink any more. Drinking too much soda is bad for your health."
Yuanyuan pursed her lips. "Mom, I'll be good."
Yan Ling couldn't help but sigh, "It would be even better if Han Ting and your dad were here too."
"Mom, drink less."
Su Jingjing asked hesitantly, "Do you miss Dad?"
Yan Ling paused in her act of serving food to Yuan Yuan, then resumed her actions.
She quickly denied it, saying, "How could that be? We're an old married couple, what's there to miss?"
"I'm just worried that your dad won't be able to take good care of those chickens at home."
Su Dashan said bluntly, "Mom, it seems like we only have one old hen left in our family."
They brought three animals with them when they came to the city.
Yan Ling instantly shot a dagger at him.
"Shut your mouth and eat your food properly."
She was smart all her life, how could she have given birth to such a fool?
Su Jingjing and Dong Qin exchanged a smile, but neither of them spoke.
"Brother, how was work today? Are you settling in well?"
Yan Ling also asked with concern, "Yes, yes, I haven't asked about your work situation yet."
Su Dashan took a bite of rice and said excitedly, "Not bad, I learned a lot today."
What he saw and heard in the city broadened his horizons. He knew that if he stayed in the countryside for the rest of his life, he would never have a chance to get ahead.
Yan Ling instructed, "Since you have such a good opportunity, you should learn from others."
"We can't be half-hearted."
Su Dashan nodded emphatically, "Mom, I will definitely study hard."
Yan Ling still trusted Da Shan completely; the boy was honest and kind, and wouldn't do anything crooked.
Military Family Compound
When Li Hanting returned home these past two days, the empty house was empty except for him.
I'm not as enthusiastic about going home anymore.
After Liu Yang finished reporting his work, he looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already twelve o'clock, but the regimental commander was still working with his head down, which was clearly not his work style.
He mustered his courage and asked, "Commander, it's lunchtime, aren't you going to eat?"
Li Hanting put down his pen, pinched his brow, and said, "I'll go to the cafeteria alone later."
Dining hall?
He didn't hear wrong, did he?
Liu Yang quickly racked his brains for various reasons.
"Is your sister-in-law giving you the silent treatment?"
A smart person could tell at a glance that the commander was dissatisfied.
No, don't guess.
The wrinkles between Li Hanting's brows deepened a few more times.
He spread his hands and asked, "Liu Yang, could I spare one day from these two days?"
That's right, he's going to the city to find a wife.
His wife's image is constantly on his mind now.
I'm busy with work during the day, but at night, I just can't fall asleep.
Liu Yang swallowed hard; he dared not say he couldn't find the time.
"It should be possible the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, you can go out first."
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Li Hanting waved to Liu Yang.
When I returned to the family compound in the afternoon, it was still early, and the area under the big tree was full of people.
Li Hanting nodded in greeting without expression and walked forward without looking back.
At this moment, Huang Qiurong stopped him and asked with concern, "Commander Li, where has Jingjing been these past few days? I haven't seen her at all."
Besides Su Jingjing, An An Yuanyuan was also nowhere to be seen.
Did the mother and her two children return to the Li family's old house?
"Sister-in-law Qiu Rong, they are all in the city."
"Am I right? Su Jingjing must have taken the child back to the Li family."
Wu Xiuying said smugly that she had already planned it out; usually during holidays, Su Jingjing and the others would go back to the Li family.
