Li Hanting said in a low voice, "Mom, I came over at ten o'clock last night."
She glanced back with gentle eyes and said, "Let her sleep a little longer. I can take care of anything."
Yan Ling was happy to see it happen, and she couldn't bear to wake her daughter.
In the room
Su Jingjing slowly opened her eyes from her deep sleep. Seeing that it was already bright outside, she was startled and quickly sat up.
She ruffled her messy hair, quickly got up, put on her shoes, and went outside.
Yan Ling brought out the steaming hot buns, looked up and saw Su Jingjing, smiled, and asked, "Awake?"
He glanced at her attire and immediately saw through her panic. "It's still early. Go wash up first, and we'll have breakfast soon."
Su Jingjing was completely confused; why was her mother so calm?
He hugged her arm and began to plead in a spoiled tone, "Mom, why didn't you wake me up?"
Yan Ling patted her hand and said reproachfully, "Mom is calling you."
He glanced outside and said, "Han Ting said you should sleep a little longer; he's busy outside."
Her daughter was eagerly waiting, and Yan Ling said with a smile, "Go and see him."
Su Jingjing responded softly and walked out.
Li Hanting was packing the things he had arranged into a bag when his ears suddenly twitched. He turned around, glanced back, and then went straight up to her and put his arm around her waist.
He gently hooked the tip of her nose and said indulgently, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Su Jingjing wrapped her arms around his waist and pouted, "Still sleeping? I already feel like I'm oversleeping."
"Aren't you tired from getting up so early to work?"
"I'm not tired." Li Hanting leaned down to kiss her lips, but instead kissed the back of her hand.
Su Jingjing stammered, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet, so I can't kiss you."
After saying that, she broke free from the man's embrace and ran towards the bathroom.
Li Hanting watched her lively figure with a smile on his lips.
Today, the whole family went out together. After breakfast, we grabbed our things and headed to the clothing store.
On such an important day, Su Dashan even took a day off.
Upon arriving at the shop, the men did the manual labor, while the women organized the clothes one by one.
Yan Ling looked at the exquisite dress, worried that the calluses on her hands might cut the needle and thread.
"This outfit is so beautiful."
Sister Xia chimed in, "Who says otherwise? I dare say you can't find such unique clothes anywhere else in the entire Huaicheng."
Yan Ling looked at every detail of the clothing store and felt incredibly satisfied, as if she were in a dream.
As the master said, her daughter is indeed a blessed person.
After hanging up the signboard and setting off a long string of firecrackers, Liren Clothing Store officially opened for business.
The entrance was crowded with people, and all sorts of noises were coming from all directions.
Su Jingjing stood above and cleared her throat.
"Good morning, everyone. Today is the first day of our Liren Clothing Store opening. We mainly sell women's clothing, and we will be offering a 20% discount for the next three days. Welcome to come and have a look."
The next second, loud applause rang out.
Someone mustered up the courage to ask, "Really a 20% discount?"
The calls grew louder and louder; they had never heard of anything so cheap.
Su Jingjing nodded firmly; she had borrowed some sales techniques from later generations.
No one can resist the temptation of discounts.
As soon as one person went in, another person followed. At first, they just wanted to browse around, but when they saw the unique clothes, they seemed to freeze in their tracks and started picking them out carefully.
Yan Ling grinned as she looked at the crowded store. "Daughter, I originally thought that offering a 20% discount would result in a loss, but it seems like it's actually attracting customers."
Without the support of loyal customers, how could their clothing store have built a reputation?
She admires her daughter more and more now.
"You have such a clever little brain."
Su Jingjing smiled and said, "Mom, I'm just like my mother."
"Who told you to give birth to such an amazing person?"
"Stop flattering me," Yan Ling scolded playfully. "Your dad will be shocked when he comes over in a few days."
More than half a month has passed since the old man returned to the countryside. I wonder how things are going with him?
Li Hanting's eyes remained fixed on Su Jingjing. If there weren't so many people around, he would have loved to hug his precious wife tightly.
How many more surprises does she have waiting for him to discover?
A few days ago, Su Jingjing applied for a job with a girl named Ning Lan, who was about the same age as Huanhuan. She was in charge of sales. Ning Lan was educated and seemed quite clever.
Actually, it's a long story. Ning Lan brought her younger brother to apply for the job. Among a group of girls dressed up in fancy clothes, she didn't stand out, but her eyes were particularly memorable.
Although the siblings' clothes were full of patches, they were spotless, even their fingernails were clean. Their first question was, "Can I apply for the job?"
The people around her looked at her with disdain, but Su Jingjing was stunned for a moment before returning her a smile, "Of course, as long as you meet our application requirements."
Her job requirements were firstly that the applicant be educated, and secondly that they be quick-witted.
There was one more thing she didn't mention: one's eyes must be clean and free from any evil or unhealthy tendencies.
After a brief conversation with Ning Lan, it became clear why she was so dedicated to this job.
To be honest, she has a hard life. Her parents died, and she and her brother lived with their uncle's family, ostensibly to take care of them, but in reality, they were occupying her house. Ning Lan is a woman of principle, so she sued her uncle and finally got rid of them. Now she can only do odd jobs to support herself and her brother, but this is not a long-term solution.
Seeing her job posting, I couldn't resist the temptation and reluctantly applied.
