She held Xu Qinghe's hand tightly, her smile sincere and warm, like a fire in winter, dispelling all the coldness.
After the divorce, Fengjie faced the ups and downs of life alone, and she understood the importance of money even more. Only with money can one live without worries.
Just when she was racking her brains over how to increase her income, Xu Qinghe's proposal came like timely rain, nourishing her heart.
This girl is not only smart and capable, but she was able to cooperate with the supply and marketing cooperative before, and now she has opened up channels for the garment factory. Her future development potential is unlimited.
For Fengjie, she can get real benefits just by moving her fingers and helping to sell a few pieces of clothing. Why not do such a good thing?
Nowadays, with supplies in short supply, even those with deep pockets in the city struggle to afford these in-demand items, let alone the innovative, trendsetting clothing Xu Qinghe mentioned. Which young woman wouldn't be tempted? Even in the supply and marketing cooperatives, there were plenty of well-off, self-sufficient young women. Buying a piece of clothing was a piece of cake for them!
"Don't worry, sister. Once the clothes are ready, come to me anytime. I promise to help you sell them all, leaving no one behind!"
Fengjie's promise was like a reassurance, which dispelled the last bit of worry in Xu Qinghe's heart.
She gently warned: "Sister, this is just between the two of us, don't let anyone else know!"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Just relax and let me know what I'm doing!"
Fengjie patted her chest and made the promise, with a smile as bright as a flower on her face, without any hesitation or reservation.
After a heartfelt conversation, Xu Qinghe and Fengjie said goodbye to each other, got on their bicycles, and slowly left in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Xu Qinghe's small warehouse contains many clothing design drawings that conform to the aesthetics of this era. Although they are not as avant-garde as those designed by her herself, they are much more fashionable than the styles on the market.
She was thinking that she would try her hand at it soon. If everything went well, she would secretly look for a skilled tailor to turn the precious fabrics she had obtained from Director Li into fashionable clothes, and would never let them lose their value due to being left idle.
Although Grandma Zhu Yunxiu is very dexterous and making clothes is a piece of cake for her, time is merciless and her eyes are not as sharp as before. Xu Qinghe really can't bear to let the old lady overwork herself.
So she began to think about finding other reliable helpers.
This matter is quite risky. Xu Qinghe knows that he must be extremely cautious when hiring people. However, the girls he met by chance in the garment factory, especially Gao Yuanxiang, who is straightforward and decisive, seem to be a good choice.
If the cooperation can be successful, Xu Qinghe is willing to silently push it behind the scenes and lend a helping hand.
When I returned home, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of food and Zhu Yunxiu was busy preparing dinner.
Seeing Xu Qinghe returning, she quickly wiped her hands and asked about Sun Hongqi's condition with concern.
"The operation has been successfully completed. All you need to do next is rest well."
Xu Qinghe reported Sun Hongqi's recent situation concisely and clearly, and mentioned her plan to persuade the village chief to agree to purchase soybeans and peppers from her cousin's village.
After hearing this, Zhu Yunxiu's face was filled with a satisfied smile: "Well, this is all we can do. You did a great job."
Zhu Yunxiu was surprised and relieved that Xu Qinghe was willing to lend a helping hand to Qin Huixin's family. She was full of trust and support for every decision her granddaughter made. No matter what the road ahead held, she would be Xu Qinghe's strongest backing.
At dinner time, the two of them sat around the table. Xu Qinghe took the opportunity to reveal his next plan: "Grandma, I plan to go to the food factory tomorrow to see how the tofu is being made."
During this period, Xu Qinghe often accompanied Zhu Yunxiu, learning the skills of making various types of tofu. Whether it was the tender and juicy fresh tofu, the fermented stinky tofu with a unique flavor, or the dried tofu that required patience to dry in the sun, she tried them one by one, and prepared each one carefully to meet different needs and possible opportunities.
"Okay, after dinner I'll help you prepare things for the food factory!"
Zhu Yunxiu readily agreed, her eyes full of support and expectations for her granddaughter.
Zhu Yunxiu's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with irrepressible excitement.
She knew very well that if her granddaughter Xu Qinghe's attempt was successful again, her status in the village would be unmatched. Even those people in the Yin family who were used to finding fault and causing trouble would think twice and would not dare to provoke her easily.
Thinking that her granddaughter could finally get rid of the long-standing grievances and bullying, Zhu Yunxiu's heart seemed to be filled with a warm and firm power, which was the infinite expectation and pride for the future.
Xu Qinghe looked at her grandmother's expectant face, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. However, she still insisted on her own ideas. Her voice was soft but firm: "Grandma, let me handle this matter. I can be more confident if I prepare for tomorrow's presentation myself."
She knew that this was an important test of her abilities and a necessary step for independent growth.
Zhu Yunxiu nodded in understanding, and then a spark of passion ignited in her eyes: "Then you can concentrate on making your tofu, and I will take care of the small things like washing the dishes!"
Her words were full of support and encouragement for her granddaughter, and her enthusiasm seemed to dispel all the haze.
"good."
Xu Qinghe agreed with a smile. To her, these housework were not heavy work, but rather a kind of joy in life, and she was happy to take them on.
Changing the subject, Zhu Yunxiu mentioned seeing Xu Qinghe buying fabric yesterday: "I see you bought quite a bit of fabric. Are you planning on making some new clothes or skirts? Feel free to design them yourself. Grandma will definitely sew them beautifully for you!"
In Zhu Yunxiu's imagination, her granddaughter was wearing the clothes she had sewn with her own hands, and the sense of pride almost overflowed from her heart.
Although the design was made by her granddaughter, this did not reduce her satisfaction as a maker. Instead, it made her feel that she had kept up with the times and created clothing that was both fashionable and exquisite.
Xu Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this: "Grandma, I plan to have those cloths processed and then sell them."
Considering the scale of sales, which was naturally not a small amount, she did not intend to tell her grandmother at first, for fear of exhausting the old lady.
But faced with her grandmother's concerned inquiries, she chose to tell the truth.
After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhu Yunxiu's face. Such a plan was rare in the village.
Xu Qinghe quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, grandma, I know what's going on."
The partners she looks for are all trustworthy people who act carefully and adhere to the principle of win-win, and will never make mistakes.
